Sword comes

This flying sword is no longer the vulgar appearance of a silver ingot, except that it is extremely small, it is no different from a sword, but it is between illusion and reality, crystal clear and full of immortality.

Under the reflection of the morning glow, the small and exquisite flying sword shone with layers of halos, which were dazzling.

Chen Ping was stunned for a long time, and finally said: "Why, it's the New Year, you want to come out to take a breath? You Feijian also pay attention to celebrating the New Year."

Its sword tip moved slightly and rotated slowly.

Chen Pingan's heartstrings were tense, ready to escape at any time.

After it turned around, the tip of the sword was slightly raised, and the hilt was lowered, as if it was getting to know this strange world.

The sound of a child in Tsing Yi getting up and yawning came from inside the house. With a swish of the flying sword, it swept across Chen Pingan's eyebrows at such a fast speed that its afterimage remained on the spot, dragging a slender rope like a long rope in the air. The brilliance was far beyond Chen Pingan's imagination, and there was no way to hide it. The next moment, Chen Pingan felt his brows shudder, and reached out to touch it. Not only did Feijian not pierce a hole, but there was not even a trace of it.

Sweeping into the body and returning to the orifice is a breeze.

It's like a land swordsman opening his way on the battlefield with his sword, as if entering a land without people.

Chen Pingan intends to turn around and ask Miss Ruan if all flying swords in the world are so mysterious.

On the other side of the door, the eager kid in Tsing Yi, holding a large bundle of bamboo tubes that he had prepared long ago, stepped out of the threshold with the sleepy-eyed girl in pink skirt. He kicked her lightly, and the girl in pink skirt quickly patted her. This is the new clothes the master bought for her, and then she glared at him, "what are you doing?"

The little boy in Tsing Yi stood in the yard, sighed and said: "Are you stupid? As a fire python, you are innately proficient in fire magic, so hurry up and set fire to the firecrackers!"

The girl in the pink skirt blinked her eyes, it turns out that the fire magic power can still be used like this

During this journey, when cooking rice and soup, the master lit the fire every time, even on rainy nights and snowy nights, so she never thought of this.

Chen Ping never mentioned it, and she never thought of it.The little boy in Tsing Yi probably didn't bother to talk.

With the partners of the two little guys, firecrackers were lit to bid farewell to the old year.

On the side of Mud Bottle Lane, firecrackers sounded from other places soon, echoing each other.

The little boy in Tsing Yi had a lot of fun, and the girl in the pink skirt went to the house to get a broom and was ready to sweep the floor after the last bamboo joint was burnt. Chen Pingan took the broom with a smile, put it against the wall, and turned the broom upside down.It turns out that according to the custom of Longquan Town, on the first day of the first lunar month, every household stands on their brooms upside down, indicating that they will not do anything today, but rest.

Chen Pingan stood by the wall, looking at the deserted courtyard next door, with complicated emotions.After hesitating for a moment, he went to get an extra Spring Festival couplet and two blessing characters from home, and pasted it next door.

The little boy in Tsing Yi asked with a smile: "He is a very good friend of the master."

Chen Pingan said softly: "I hope it's not an enemy."

Going back to his own yard, Chen Pingan stood in the alley at the entrance, looking at the two painted door gods on the door, one Wen and one Wu, Wen holding a jade wat, and Wu holding an iron mace. Paper door gods come in various colors. In addition to civil and military door gods, there are many "fairies" including the god of wealth, but this year all the door gods in the town follow this regulation. In the newly built Confucian Temple and Wu Temple in the town, the golden masters enshrined in it are the two painted on paper.

Chen Pingan remembered what old man Yang said, and his feelings became deeper and deeper.

Chen Pingan swept away the haze in his heart, sat in the yard and began to bask in the sun, without thinking about anything.

The girl in the pink skirt continued to sit on a small bench and eat melon seeds, while the boy in Tsing Yi walked around the yard with his hands behind his back, full of ambitions, clamoring that he would practice more diligently this year, and that he must impress the master and the silly girl. Then at the end of the year, he You can walk sideways in the small town, and you won't be afraid of any bullshit sword cultivators in the eighth and ninth realms.

At the end, the little boy in Tsing Yi smiled flatteringly: "Master, you only need to give me a few better snake gallstones, not to mention the end of the year, tomorrow I will be invincible all over the town, and when the time comes, master, you can take me to the streets To bully men and women, to be that lawless local tyrant and evil gentry, to drag a girl to Mud Ping Lane when she sees a beautiful girl, wow ha ha ha ha, master, just thinking about it makes me happy."

Chen Pingan grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the girl in the pink skirt, nodded and said, "Just as long as you are happy."

The longing smiling face of the little boy in Tsing Yi collapsed all of a sudden, and he sat next to Chen Pingan with long sighs, one on the left and one on the right with the girl in the pink skirt, like two little door gods, but he felt that the first day of the New Year this year did not start off well , a bit unlucky, so he took out an ordinary snake gallstone, bit it and ate it, and could only make himself a good fortune.

At this time, Chen Pingan suddenly took out two exquisite small bags from his sleeves, which were one of the New Year's goods sold at his New Year's shop in Qilong Lane, handed them to the two of them, and joked: "Take them all, the master gave them to you New Year's money."

The little boy in Tsing Yi didn't think there would be any surprises, but when he opened it, his eyes couldn't be more round, and it turned out to be a very good-looking snake gallstone, the color is as gorgeous as the sunset.

The one in the hand of the girl in the pink skirt is also an excellent snake gallstone.

The little boy in Tsing Yi saw it clearly at that time, except for eighty or ninety ordinary stones, when Chen Pingan returned to this ancestral house, there were still eleven priceless snake gallstones left in the package, and then he gave it to one of them all at once. Two, that means four are missing, and now two more are taken out, wouldn't it be half gone all of a sudden?

Chen Pingan, you really think of yourself as a rich boy who makes good fortune

Although he clenched the snake gallstone tightly in his hand, the little boy in Tsing Yi couldn't help but reminded him: "Master, if you give things like this, you won't be able to save a rich family. What will you do if you marry a wife?"

The girl in the pink skirt held the "New Year's money" in both hands, bowed her head in silence, and tears rolled down her pink and fair little face.

The little boy in Tsing Yi was twitching, he really couldn't vomit, and asked: "Master, are you not afraid that I ate these three snake gallstones, and my cultivation base skyrocketed, but Master, you will never be able to catch up with me in this life?"

Chen Pingan asked: "If you have a friend who is doing well, will you be happy?"

The little boy in Tsing Yi nodded and said: "Of course I'm happy, the friends and brothers I've made in my life are not the ones I talk about."

Chen Ping asked again: "Then if your friend lives much better than you, will you be happy?"

The little boy in Tsing Yi hesitated.

Chen Pingan ate melon seeds and said with a smile: "I will be happier."

At this moment, the little boy in Tsing Yi felt a little dazed. He suddenly felt that the rivers and lakes he had been in for hundreds of years were not the same as Chen Ping'an's. Was it because his rivers and lakes were too deep or Chen Ping's rivers and lakes were too shallow?

After Chen Ping said it, he didn't think much about it, it was just a casual chat.

On the other hand, the boy in Tsing Yi was depressed all the time, and the girl in pink was also a little silent after collecting the stone.

Chen Ping regretted it a little. Could it be that the New Year's money was sent by mistake or should have been sent later?

Sad.

In this mud bottle alley, Song Jixin Zhigui, Gu Can and his mother left, but there was a new family, who took the initiative to take out a copy of the ancestral house deed years ago, and ran to Longquan. The county yamen, the yamen want to investigate carefully, because now the town is very expensive, and there are many people who want to squeeze in. Even if they can't buy a house, they are willing to rent a house here, so The county yamen and household fang thought that they must be cautious, and never let the cunning take advantage of the loopholes.

But soon, Wu Yuan, who was promoted from the first magistrate of Longquan County to the first prefect of Longquan County, committed suicide in the county government and took over the whole matter.

Soon, there was a young man named Cao Jun in Niping Lane. His ancestors moved out from here, and now he returns to his hometown to work hard.

Cao Jun lived reclusively and almost never showed up. The neighbors in the neighborhood were quite curious about this. Because of the establishment of the mountain and the mansion, the local people in the small town participated in a lot, and it was announced by the county government and the county government. The people of Longquan had to believe in the matter of the gods. At the beginning, they guessed whether Cao Jun, who was handsome and different from ordinary people, might be one of the gods. But looking back, the gods living in Niping Lane were not worth much.

Then two strangers came to Mud Bottle Lane today.

A rich old man with a green silk rope wrapped in his hands, and a young man with a long sword behind him, walked towards Niping Lane together, and entered from Gu Can's house, so they passed the houses of Song Jixin and Chen Ping'an. In the yard, the walls were low, and the old man glanced at the boy in Tsing Yi and the girl in pink skirt, and smiled playfully.

The girl in the pink skirt was a little ignorant and didn't take it seriously.The little boy in Tsing Yi seems to be careless, but he is praying silently in his heart. Could it be some old fairy or monster again?

The young swordsman smiled and stretched out his hand to say hello: "Chen Pingan, we meet again."

Chen Pingan stood up and opened the courtyard door, and asked with a smile, "You're here to celebrate the New Year with someone?"

The young swordsman shook his head and said, "I have some things to deal with, but it's also okay to pay New Year's greetings by the way."

The old man smiled and said: "I heard that it was you who caused my ancestral house to be trampled on the roof by a mountain-moving ape, and then you helped pay for it to be repaired."

Sword Xiu Cao Jun's family elders

Chen Ping'an's heart tightened, and he apologized, "Mister, I'm sorry, I'm really to blame for this matter."

The old man waved his hand, "I know it well, it's just such a dilapidated house, if you don't repair it, it will collapse by itself. Why do you apologize? It should be our Cao family who thank you. Before that guy Cao Jun wanted to rob you, Don't worry, I'll teach him a lesson, haha, I forgot to say, happy new year, happy new year."

At the end, the amiable old man took the initiative to cup his fists and shake his hands slightly, which was regarded as a New Year's greeting.

Chen Pingan quickly returned the gift.

The young swordsman frowned, took a step forward calmly, just stood between the old man and Chen Pingan, put his arms around the latter's shoulders, walked towards the courtyard gate with a smile, turned his head and said to the old man, "Mr. Cao, you go back first." Home, I will visit later."

The old man squinted his eyes and nodded, not paying attention to this, and left slowly alone. After several hundred years, he finally revisited his old place.

After Chen Pingan and the young swordsman crossed the threshold of the two painted door gods on the courtyard gate, the little aura that could not be seen by the naked eye has disappeared.

After the young swordsman entered the door, he said softly: "In the future, when you walk in the rivers and lakes, you should hold your fists and salute. Remember that a man needs to hug his right hand with his left hand. This is called Jibai. Otherwise, it is a taboo, and it is easy to make the other party suffer."

Chen Ping suddenly looked at the young swordsman, and he said casually, "Just keep these details in mind."

There were only three small benches in the house, and the girl in the pink skirt hurriedly gave them up. The young swordsman didn't sit down in a hurry, and said with a smile: "It's shameless to come empty-handed on the first day of the new year, so I'll give you two small gadgets."

He stretched out his hand, and there were two wordless jade tablets stacked in the palm of his hand, but the four corners of the jade card were engraved with the unique Yunlu pattern of the Dali Song family, "They are called peace cards, and they can be hung on the waist at ordinary times. It will be useful to settle here in the future. If you travel far away, it will be more convenient to walk in the territory of Dali."

The little boy in Tsing Yi was a little bit greedy, because he knew how precious this thing was.

The girl in the pink skirt went in without knowing it, but just looked at Chen Ping'an, whether she would accept it or not was up to her master.

Chen Pingan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Take it."

After the girl in the pink skirt and the boy in the green clothes took over, they bowed to the young swordsman to thank them at the same time.

After the young swordsman delivered the greeting gift, he immediately took his leave and left.

Chen Pingan didn't know how to keep him, so he had to send him to the gate of the courtyard.

On the other side of Cao's old house, the rich man is standing by the pool in the house, and a red fox is sitting on the opening of the roof patio. Cao Jun tilts Erlang and he sits on the chair, squinting at his ancestor, and he greets Are too lazy to fight.

After the young swordsman walked in, the old man smiled and asked, "You have a good relationship with that boy."

The young swordsman said with a smile: "With Mr. Cao's cultivation and status, he would still attack a young man in a back alley."

Cao Xi laughed and said, "It's just a slight punishment. At most, it's just a year of bad luck lingering on the family. Don't you also get in the way and help the young man get rid of that bit of disaster."

The young swordsman shook his head and stopped talking.

The world is so absurd, and he is also a great figure who came out of the Lizhu Cave. Xie Shi has a loyal personality and his reputation has spread across several continents. He is recognized as a master. Even Xie Shi's hostile monks would admire the powerful Heavenly Monarch.On the other hand, Cao Xi has a weird personality and has always had a bad reputation. It is said that he is mean and ungrateful. It is only because of his good luck that he has been climbing all the way, unstoppable.

But Cao Xi, the sword fairy who was born in Ye Luzi, now chooses to stand in the same camp as Dali, but Xie Shi has to do something disgraceful.

Cao Jun stood up and said with a smile, "I know you. You are Xu Ruo from the Mohist family. You have been walking in the rivers and lakes of Zhongtu Shenzhou for many years, and you have a great reputation. You have the reputation of being a dragon in the world. Hanging around in the rivers and lakes, I don't like to stay in the mountains, maybe I learned from you when you were young."

The swordsman thought of the high-spirited young sword fairy in Fengxue Temple, shook his head and smiled, "He didn't learn from me."

Cao Xi suddenly remembered something, jumped into the dry pool, flipped over a bluestone slab, and hidden inside was a rusty common copper coin. , Tsk tut: "Good omen, good omen."

Cao Xi looked up at the young swordsman, "Let me see, the natal porcelain that was smashed back then was caused by your mistakes, Dali and Longquan, but Dali made up for it at the beginning. , the other party also accepted it. Logically speaking, this matter is considered to be settled, but now the buyer is going behind the scenes step by step, and finally moved out the big Bodhisattva Xie Shi to scare people. The matter was not done well. Authentic, quite careless. In fact, it is very easy to solve. I beat Xie Shi to death in one go. With me, you, and the saint Ruan Qiong, the three of us join forces. Xie Shi will not only lose, but even if he wants to run, he will not be able to escape. Thank you If you really want to die, you can't blame others."

The young swordsman asked: "Even if Xie Shi is killed, this broken and falling Lizhu Cave is completely destroyed, what should we do in Dali?"

Cao Xi stood and talked without pain in his back, "Killing a Xie Shi to death, the effect of knocking mountains and shaking tigers is great, it's not inferior to building a Baiyujing."

The young swordsman didn't answer.

Cao Xi continued to confuse people's hearts, "You Dali are going south soon? After you kill Xie Shi, look at the old bastards in the tenth realm and the upper five realms in the Dasui territory. It won't exceed one hand. If I, Cao Xi, lose, I will deal with all the extra bastards, how about it?"

The young swordsman wondered, "You have a deep hatred with Xie Shi."

Cao Xi shook his head and said: "No, it's just a fellow townsman. He is not from the same generation. He has never met. The two ancestors have no entanglements. I just can't understand Xie Shi bullying Dali with his cultivation. , I’ve forgotten my roots, at least I was born in Dali, so it’s fine if I don’t think about the kindness of my upbringing, and I’m against Dali, I don’t like this kind of person, Cao Xi.”

"Put your mother's fart on"

The fiery red fox on the roof told the truth, and sneered: "The Confucian Chen family in Nanba Suozhou was one of the branches of Shenzhou in Middle Earth back then. The real Chen family has never dealt with Taoism, and killed a Xie In fact, it is the biggest betrothal gift in the world, not to mention marrying a daughter of the Chen Confucian family to Cao Jun, even marrying another woman from the Central Plains family to Cao Xi."

"You dirty-mouthed auntie." Cao Xi cursed with a smile, raising her hand and waving her sleeves.

The fiery red fox exploded with a bang and turned into dust.

The time it took to restore its original appearance was obviously much longer than before it was dismembered by Cao Jun's flying sword.

It lifted a piece of tile and threw it at Cao Xi fiercely, as fast as a thunderbolt, then turned around and ran away.

Cao Xi gently caught the tile, threw it up, and threw it back to its original position.

In fact, the tile has been fragmented.

The Mohist hero named Xu Ruo rejected Cao Xi's suggestion, "This kind of thing is not for me to decide on my own."

Cao Xi rolled his eyes and said, "Then who in Dali can make the decision?"

Xu Ruo smiled and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, Song Changjing, the vassal king, and Cui Chan, the national teacher, are just these three."

Cao Xi said angrily: "Then come one. You, Xu Ruo, just watched the show and didn't make a move. What's the point?" Let him run away, when the time comes to achieve his goal, let him run back to Juluzhou, when the time comes, the three of us poor people, plus your Dali Song family, will all be finished."

Xu Ruo nodded and said, "It will come."

Cao Xi fell silent for a moment.

Because he always likes to treat a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain, he is very afraid that Dali will clean up Xie Shi and then clean up himself.

What's more, the Dali Song family is not a gentleman.

A real gentleman, a guy who is more powerful than Cao Xi and Xie Shi, has died beyond the point of death.

just die here.

In this matter, of course, it is no wonder that the Dali Dynasty was not righteous, and it is no wonder that the Song Emperor was a coward.

But Cao Xi just felt that it was too unlucky and unlucky.

In addition, on the way up, Cao Xi was even more unhappy when he received intelligence from Dali about the Lizhu Cave, which mentioned the collapse and repair of his ancestral house.

If it hadn't been for Mrs. Chen Confucianism to speak up, he would actually not want to be this cross-river dragon at all.

In particular, Cao Xi still hasn't figured out the knot of Qi Jingchun's mortal situation, which made him feel uncomfortable as soon as he entered Longquan County.

So he hoped that Xie Shi's death could lure him out. Even if it was the worst outcome he had guessed, there would still be the Dali Song family, the saint Ruan Qiong and the Fengxue Temple behind him, and the Chen Confucian family behind him, The Chen family from China, let's share the risk together.

Wealth is in danger.

It's the same up and down the mountain.

The Xie family’s old house is located in Taoye Lane, and the family’s heirs are far from flourishing. By this generation, the family has actually fallen. If it weren’t for the young man with long eyebrows who became Ruan Qiong’s registered disciple, he would have sold his ancestral house long ago to make ends meet. dismal state.

A middle-aged man knocked on the door.

It was a girl who opened the door and asked, "Are you"

Han Zizheng'er's Eight Classics replied: "It's your ancestor."

The girl with delicate features looks graceful, but in fact she has a hot temper, she suddenly said angrily: "It's the first day of the new year, why are you swearing at others? Believe it or not, I'll whip you with a broom!"

The man looked as usual, "Go look through the genealogy and find the Jiaxu edition. There will be a person named Xie Shi on it, and that's me. The word Shi is missing a bit."

After a stick of incense, all members of the Xie family knelt on the ground outside the family ancestral hall.

Xie Shi ignored those trembling family juniors, pushed open the gate of the ancestral hall without saying a word, went in and burned three sticks of incense.

Then he said in a deep voice: "The one with longer eyebrows than ordinary people can come in and burn incense, and the rest go back. Anyway, the ancestors will be angry when they see you and don't need you to burn incense."

A woman outside the ancestral hall was full of surprise and burst into tears with excitement. She grabbed the arm of her son beside her and covered her mouth with one hand to prevent herself from crying.

The long-browed boy took a deep breath, stood up after his mother let go of her hand, and tremblingly crossed the threshold of the ancestral hall, walking towards the figure step by step.

On the post road outside the town, a carriage drove slowly.

The groom was Liu Ji, who had stopped a certain swordsman at Qidun Mountain. In the carriage sat an elegant old man who looked like an old master, and a girl with naturally cold and sharp eyes.

Cui Chan, the teacher of the state, and Zhigui, the court lady.

In other words, old Cui Chan, and Wang Zhu

In the small courtyard, the little boy in Tsing Yi started to hug his head and howl again.

Why is this small town under the mountain so annoying? It’s only the first day of the new year, and there are two powerful characters who can’t tell the depth. Thinking with your knees and buttocks, you know that they are the kind who can kill yourself with one punch scary character.The little boy in Tsing Yi always felt that he had seen strong winds and waves before, but now that he came here, he realized that the previous storms were nothing compared to the puddles in the mud bottle alley outside the door.

He began to admire Chen Pingan from the bottom of his heart, it was not easy to live to this day, and he was able to become his master, not a simple person, no wonder he had such a cruel disciple by his side.

So the little boy in Tsing Yi grabbed Chen Ping's hand with tears in his eyes, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Master, I will definitely treat you better in the future."

Chen Pingan pushed his head away, and said with a smile, "You are the one who is most afraid of getting into trouble, and you won't lose face."

The little boy in Tsing Yi looked at the heartless silly girl out of the corner of his eyes, and felt that he was quite ashamed, so he sat back on the bench silently and sulked.

The girl in the pink skirt was indeed more heart-warming than he was, and she couldn't put it down as she held the delicate and warm Peace and Peace card.

Of course, the one with the biggest heart is their master Chen Pingan.

He took out pieces of bamboo slips with engraved words and put them on the low yellow mud wall between the two courtyards, which could be regarded as posting the slips.
