Sword comes

Dajiao Mountain seems to have used a method similar to rubbing monuments, preserving all the scenes on the long scroll of flowers and birds, tearing off the white paper like gauze layer by layer, a total of ten times, and then began to sell it publicly.

The owner of the ship named Chunshui Qiushi and the sisters to show up and help bid for the offering.

Chen Ping didn't think anything at first, but accidentally saw Qiushi standing there, holding one end with his sister, Chunshui was graceful, leak-proof, and he was very familiar with quotations and calls, Qiushi was heartless, staring blankly. Xiang Chenping, after seeing his gaze, was satisfied, raised his chin slightly, and showed a proud face.

It seems that until this moment, Qiushi felt that he and Chen Pingan were on an equal footing

Chen Pingan didn't understand the girl's thoughts very well, so he focused on the white papers of the stele rubbings. After ten rubbings, the aura became thinner and the scene became more blurred. The last one was even more blurred. You can only watch it once, and the price is of course the lowest, only needing [-] snowflake jade coins.

The ancient jade used to make coins is named Snowflake Jade. It is a specialty jade mine in Aiaizhou in the north. It is mainly distributed in two caves. If you put the "copper coins" that are popular on the mountain under the sun, the crystals can be reflected like snowflakes. .Also known as Xiaoxueqian, the front is engraved with the four characters of "Auspicious Harvest", and the back is engraved with the four characters of "Xiaoxue Fengdi".

Because of the huge output of snowflake jade and the high content of aura, snowflake money has gradually become the mountain currency shared by Jiuzhou over the long years. Therefore, snowflake money can definitely be exchanged for gold and silver, but gold and silver may not be converted into snowflake money.

The reason is very simple. The dignitaries and dignitaries at the foot of the mountain are separated from each other and they enshrine the gods on the mountain. It is impossible to send a cart of silver. It is inconvenient and too eye-catching. If the money box is more elegant, if it is some exquisite wood, it will be more elegant.

Chen Pingan gritted his teeth, and bought the last blank paper scroll for [-] Wen Xiaoxue. Because it was the last one, the owner of Dajiao Mountain handed it to Chen Pingan himself. Not to mention how awed, like a little yellow warbler chirping around the branches.

Fortunately, the captain watched the two sisters grow up, and Qiushi's talent is better than Chunshui's, so it's not hopeless that he can enter the middle five realms, so the patience of the captain of Jiaoshan for Qiushi is actually quite good. It is called fishing for big fish with a long line, and holding a job on the mountain to beg for a living. You really have to take a long-term view, not only seeing what is on the table or in the pot, but maybe also seeing what is in the field.

After paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, the captain teased Qiushi by grabbing a fire pear from the fruit plate on the tea table next to the sandalwood chair and handing it to the maid, and then walked away.Chen Ping went in without knowing it, but Qiu Shi gave him a hard look. It turned out that the fire pear was the commission that Qiu Shi helped Dajiaoshan sell a painting, but after Qiu Shi stared at him, he smiled to himself. Standing up, he raised the fire pear in his hand and shook it at his sister, triumphantly.

Life is impermanent, gathering and dispersing are uncertain.

After the battle between Fenglei Garden and Zhengyang Mountain ended, Chen Pingan separated from the Taoist priests outside Longhu Mountain, and returned to Tianzihao Yifang with Chunshui Qiushi, and got along day and night. , it became that Chen Pingan and Taoist Zhang Shan happened to meet again, and they chose to disembark here together, waved goodbye to Chunshui Qiushi's pair of maidservants, and they were separated from each other.

The ferry of Nanjian Country was built on the border between the two countries with Ancient Yu Country, on a large lake.

Compared with Wutong Mountain, which was just opened by Dali Longquan, this ferry is much larger, and it can berth five kun boats from Dajiao Mountain at the same time.

The separation from Chunshui Qiushi is not farewell. During this period of time, Chen Pingan had the cheek to ask Dajiaoshan for a lot of melons and fruits. The two girls were lucky because of this, and Dajiaoshan later began to slander the big Li boy , what is a person with shallow eye sockets, who has never seen the world, but who likes to take advantage of small things? Even if Chen Pingan knew, he would definitely not care. In the end, it turned into Chunshui to beg for melons and fruits from the Kunchuan kitchen.

When Chen Ping got off the boat, he brought a lot of melon skins and seeds.

Because there were not many people disembarking in Nanjian Country, Chen Pingan and Taomu swordsman ran into each other right away and walked together.

On the other side of the railing at the bow, Qiu Shi snorted coldly: "Sister, look at that guy, he didn't feel sad about parting at all after getting off the boat, maybe he was thinking about the colorful world at the bottom of the mountain."

Chun Shui said helplessly: "Mr. Chen is not even interested in Xinghuafang, so why would he have any idea about the brothel Goulan. You don't know how many generals, ministers, and wealthy princes who are used to the world are on the Kun boat. Xinghuafang is like lingering, after all, there are many women in the workshop who flatter them, but they are goddesses and fairies in the eyes of the world. After drunk, those men show their ugliness one by one. Alas, it would be great if all the men at the foot of the mountain were like Mr. Chen. "

Qiu Shi was a little unconvinced, "That's because Chen Ping'an is still young, and he will become such a smoky and bad thing in the future. Maybe next time he boards the ship, Chen Ping'an will talk about it and play tricks on us."

Chun Shui squinted his eyes, glanced at the embroidered bag around his sister's waist, "You really think so"

Qiu Shi suddenly turned his head, pretending to ignore the scene on the lake.

Chun Shui looked over, only to find that Chen Pingan was bidding farewell to their sisters. He was very quack, as expected of a pure martial artist who practiced boxing diligently.

Chun Shui quickly raised his arm and waved.

When Chen Pingan turned to leave, Qiu Shi turned his head, with an angry and playful look, Chun Shui joked: "Why did you come here, you are so far away from others, you are polite and individual, and there are not many Two pieces of meat."

Qiushi glanced sideways at her sister's breasts, and held back her smile, "Sister, you've lost a few ounces of flesh, I'm not afraid, anyway, I have a solid foundation, I can't do it."

The two sisters started fighting.

When I was young, I always thought that parting was the beginning of the next reunion.

After chatting with Taoist Zhang Shan, Chen Ping found out that they were both going south. Chen Ping was due to an inexplicable reason. Lu Chen and Old Man Yang wanted him to disembark at Nanjian Country. The Taomu swordsman was suffering from hunger and cold, so he really couldn't afford to sit on this ferry. If he didn't disembark again, he would probably have to do odd jobs on the Kun boat to make a living.

The two have similar temperaments, so they made an appointment to go south together. As for when they will part ways, they will ignore it for the time being.

The ferry where the two disembarked was located at the southern border of Nanjian State and the northern border of Ancient Yu State. Taoist Zhang Shan was proficient in the Aquarius dialect, so he explained the ancient land of Ancient Yu State to Chen Pingan. It turned out that the emperor of Ancient Yu State was Chu Shi, the origin of the name of the country, there is also a saying. According to legend, in ancient times, there was a goddess who was in charge of heralding the spring, and at the same time was in charge of the growth and withering of the vegetation in the world. Only there was a big tree in the ancient elm country, which was green in autumn and withered in spring. Shooting, the goddess was very annoyed, so she ordered the tree to be born with no enlightenment, and it is extremely difficult to become a spirit.This is the source of the "elm lump" in later generations.

Taoist Zhang Shan is a Qi practitioner of the three realms, and his realm has not yet been stabilized. However, as a Taoist in the Longhushan Taoist lineage, whether he is named or not, he is very familiar with the matter of crossing mountains and mountains.

Before entering the mountain, the young Taoist with the mahogany sword on his back took out a copper bell from his bag, tied it to the end of the mahogany sword, and explained to Chen Pingan: "This is listening to the demon bell, which is the most popular in the Taoist sect. , similar to the picture of Bai Ze in the hands of Qi practitioners, Pindao's string of bells is the lowest in quality, and can only be regarded as an entry-level demon-subduing utensil. Mountain monsters in the realm, Pindao is only in the third realm, which means that the big monsters in the fifth realm cannot detect it."

Chen Pingan hesitated.

How can you report the depth of your cultivation by yourself after meeting someone for a short time?

Then there is the "big monster of the fifth realm"

Chen Ping'an was a little uncertain. Could it be that he and this disciple from the outer mountain of Longhu Mountain were not in the same world, but in the same Jianghu? In his hometown, the little boy in Tsing Yi is still yelling every day to try not to be punched to death

Although Chen Pingan was full of doubts, his impression of the young Taoist priest improved a bit.

The young Taoist didn't notice Chen Pingan's doubts, and he was still there to comfort the "Mr. Chen" beside him, "But Mr. Chen, don't worry, there is a saying on our mountain that any immortal family with a decent style of sect head can rule over thousands of miles. There is absolutely no big monster in the world, the reason is very simple, the big monsters don't have the guts to do harm to the world. Once the fairy masters of the fifth middle level find out, maybe they will be crowned on the same day, right? "

Chen Ping nodded with a smile and said yes.

Scholars visiting the immortals in the mountains has always been the highlight of the literati's writings in the past dynasties. The same is true for immortals in disguise, playing games in the world, and teasing the world.

On the mountain and outside the mountain, between the two, the roots are broken.

It was only after Chen Ping boarded the ship that he learned about the territory of the three continents including Aquarius Island. There are very few places like Longquan. immortal.

Taoist Zhang Shan is an out-and-out warm-hearted person. After chatting, he heard that Chen Pingan was away from home and didn't even bring a roll of Bai Zetu with him, so he wanted to give his own roll of Bai Zetu to Chen Pingan, saying that this picture The scroll only cost two or three Wen Xiaoxue, and it is exactly the same as the fairy bell. It is the most entry-level cheap item. It comes from a private workshop. It is rough and sloppy in printing. In case of emergencies, then just take it and use it first, anyway, Zhang Shan has already been familiar with it by heart.

This is probably the so-called good fortune boy meets the fortune boy

Chen Pingan didn't dare to accept it in vain, so he put his hands in his sleeves to cover his tracks, and then controlled the fifteen-inch object, took out two small snow coins, and handed them to Taoist Zhang Shan. It is said that such an old item is expensive for a penny.In fact, when encountering the female ghost in the wedding dress, the blind Taoist presented a picture of Soushan, which was handed down by his master, which was indeed a thousand times better than Zhang Shan's picture of Baize, but Chen Pingan forwarded it to Lin Shouyi, and Chen Pingan looked at the picture of Bai Ze while climbing the mountain, and they also read it with great interest, especially the images of some ghosts and ghosts, which were not recorded in the picture of searching mountains, which made Chen Pingan feel very rewarding.

In the matter of entering the mountains, Taoist priest Zhang Shan may not be able to compare with mud-legged Chen Ping'an after ten years of trekking through mountains and rivers.

So Chen Pingan walked leisurely. Although the mahogany swordsman was not out of breath, he was not relaxed either.

Chen Pingan was not as cautious as on the Kun boat. He deliberately aggravated the movement of his footsteps when walking all the time. Firstly, after practicing boxing in the bamboo building, Chen Pingan understood a truth that the heartstrings need to be relaxed.Secondly, there is a world of difference between the kun boat traveling in the sea of ​​clouds and the land, mountains and rivers under the kun boat. Chen Pingan does not need to be too careful. Big threat, finally, the most important reason is that Chen Ping'an is very relieved of the Taoist priest Zhang Shan. Chen Pingan trusts this kind of feeling like old friends at first sight, just like seeing Mr. Qi standing outside the school, standing at the gate of Li's house

Li Xisheng.

Chen Pingan trusted his intuition.

As the two went through the mountains and waded through the mountains and rivers together, twenty years passed quickly, and the journey went smoothly without any twists and turns. Chen Pingan and the young Taoist priest also became closer and closer, and Chen Pingan would practice unabashedly. Walking piles in six steps, he would practice the sword furnace between stops and rests, and Taoist Zhang Shan actually practiced the method of five thunders. Because of Lin Shouyi and the blind Taoist, Chen Pingan was no stranger to this. Zhang Shan He often poses in strange poses, the golden rooster is independent, he clenches his fist and hits a certain place in the abdomen, making a well-regulated whistling sound, or bends his elbows and puts his fingers against the meridian of the neck, and with the other hand, puts his fingers together as a sword , shut his mouth tightly, his belly was like thunder, and he let out a muffled moaning tone.

This is the first time that Chen Pingan has encountered a person who is tireless in his practice and is no worse than his own boxing practice.

This is probably also the key to the two being able to travel south together.

It's hard work, and you can still enjoy it.

Occasionally when night fell, the two of them found a shelter from the wind and rain, or an ancient temple or a cave, and lit a bonfire. The young Taoist would tell Chen Ping'an that Ju Luzhou's swordsmanship was powerful, and that the Taoist over there was looked down upon by others. It is also a magic weapon. If a sword repairer buys it, he can buy it with ten fen Xiaoxue. If a Taoist priest buys it, he may have to pay double the price. The gentle young Taoist priest will only reveal it when he talks about it. With an aggrieved look, he said that if possible in the future, he must change these rules.

After the young Taoist confirmed that Chen Pingan was a martial arts practitioner, he was really puzzled. If practicing qi and cultivating immortals is the biggest gold-selling cave in the world, then practicing martial arts is a well-deserved second place. The same is to eat gold and silver. countless.Since Zhang Shan came down from the mountain, he hasn't lived a comfortable day. After weighing all kinds of gains, he replaced them with pieces of talismans that can save his life, and one or two magic tools that are most suitable for subjugating demons and demons. , is like the simplest amulet, which can help young Taoist priests quickly leave the battlefield at the dangerous moment of encountering a big monster, and go a few miles away. It is worth at least a hundred taels of silver, which means that Zhang Shan has to earn at least 3000 taels of silver by himself in order to buy a magic amulet.

However, the young Taoist with a three-level cultivation base, sword cultivators on the mountain, and Juluzhou, where there are so many swordsmen down the mountain, went all the way to the south, relying on the crappy demons and demons, the demons that he surrendered were actually mostly stubborn ghosts, and the demons he eliminated , is nothing more than a wild mound ghost with undeveloped wisdom. It is not easy to make money. Sometimes when you meet a powerful second-level monster, the young Taoist may even put some family money in. The real money maker is still Water and land dojos and weddings and ceremonies, especially some ceremonies that require a large number of Taoist priests, are the fastest and easiest to get money. It's a pity that such good things are rare.

So after Zhang Shan heard that Aquarius Island advocated Taoism, he didn't look down on Taoists as much as Ju Luzhou, so he thought of going south across the continent to see if he could have some opportunities, but he almost starved to death not long after boarding the boat, which made the young man The Taoist was full of gloom about this trip to Aquarius Island.

The territory of Ancient Yu Kingdom is small, and the two quickly crossed the border and came to the territory of Caiyi Country. They were on their way at night, and encountered a heavy rain. The strange thing is that the two of them entered a deserted mountain range and walked for more than ten miles. There is no place suitable for shelter from the rain. The strange rocks are jagged, and there are many exposed cliffs. Moreover, there are occasional big trees on the mountain, and many of them are dead. Some rare green trees are far from being luxuriant. So the raindrops the size of soybeans fell on the two of them continuously, which could make people's heads feel numb. Chen Pingan was in the desolate mangosteen building. Taoist priest Zhang Shan has not been in the third realm for a long time, and the physical toughness of the Qi trainer is inherently inferior to that of a pure martial artist in the same realm, and his foundation in the three realms is average, so the young Taoist's face is pale and his lips are livid. Chen Pingan knows If he kept on going, even if Zhang Shan survived the rainy night tonight, he might become ill tomorrow.

Chen Pingan stopped, patted Zhang Shan on the shoulder, and loudly told Zhang Shan to stay where he was, and try to keep his breathing steady. He went to speed up his pace and search for a way by himself. Regardless of the outcome, within a stick of incense, Will definitely be back for him.Zhang Shan was stunned. The young Taoist who was a little dizzy from the torrential rain moved his lips slightly and his voice was as thin as a mosquito. During the heavy rain, even Chen Pingan didn't hear what he was saying clearly, but only saw Zhang Shan's body He became weaker and couldn't continue to be hit by the heavy rain like this, so Chen Pingan no longer hesitated, smiled at him, turned and walked quickly.

Sitting cross-legged, the young Taoist began to struggle against the biting cold.

The lower five realms of qi practitioners are called the five realms of mountaineering, which draw the vitality of heaven and earth outside the human body to pour and sharpen the skin, muscles, muscles, bones and blood of the human body.The first and second realms are copper skin realm and grass root realm, which can make Qi practitioners' skin tough and vigorous. Logically speaking, a heavy rain is nothing more than a heavy rain, no matter how big it is, young Taoists who have entered the third realm of willow tendon realm can already Entraining qi to temper the muscles and bones, but this disciple of Longhushan, who is carrying a peach-wood sword, is following the Taoist talisman school. More foreign objects, such as magic tools, peach-wood swords, etc., are tempered by the body. The results were not outstanding, and the spring rain was too sudden and "gloomy", which caused the young Taoist priest to consume the true energy in his body very quickly without knowing it.

The white-faced young Taoist's vision was blurred, he was debating whether to take off his bag, and took out a qi-invigorating elixir from the porcelain bottle, but the elixir named "Huiyang", no matter how poor its quality, was the real thing How could the young Taoist be willing to spend a penny, so he gritted his teeth and persisted, hoping that the young warrior would go back early and successfully find a place to hide from the rain.

When you arrive on the mountain, you will have to suffer on the mountain at some point.

In this regard, the monsters in Longquan town are an example. The common people in the market are unaware of this, but Ruan Qiong's momentum of casting swords will make them want to die.

Chen Pingan quickly walked half a mile away, no longer hiding the cultivation base of the three realms, and rushed forward.

When he saw a big tree with only dead branches in front of him, he took a few steps to run up, stepped on the trunk, grabbed a rotten branch, and pulled it lightly, his body floated up, and the branch collapsed and fell to the ground However, Chen Pingan has gone one step further, standing on the height of the big tree, covering his forehead with his hands, looking up, but there is no light, but there is a small hill at the end, Chen Pingan lightly jumped up, his hands With a sudden kick on the tree trunk, he flew away, and the big tree behind him fell to the ground with a bang.

The body was tilted downwards, and Chen Pingan, who shot out like an arrow, reached out and slapped the muddy water on the ground. The whole person rolled forward in the air. , extremely flexible, and soon came to the top of the hill. After climbing to the top, the view was wide, but he still couldn't see even a little light, which made Chen Pingan feel a little troublesome. I cut down trees and built a rough tent, but judging by the look of that mountain, even if I hide in the tent, once the bonfire cannot be lit, the wind and cold will invade the body, and I will catch a cold and get sick.

In fact, Chen Pingan was also a little puzzled in his heart. This large stretch of low and meandering mountains is indeed a bit weird. He has traveled through quite a few mountains and rivers. Between the dense barren mounds and tombs, it’s okay to be so desolate, but why is it colder than other places under such heavy rain?

Just when Chen Pingan was going to turn around to look for the young Taoist priest, he suddenly found a faint light appeared in the place where his eyesight was exhausted, moving slowly towards the north. Will capsize and go out.Chen Pingan thought for a while, remembered the direction in which the light was lit, turned around quickly, returned the same way, found the shaky young Taoist, helped him up, and said that there were people ahead who were also driving at night, to see if they could meet. The locals may know where to hide from the rain.

The young Taoist priest was refreshed, and Chen Pingan carried him on his back without saying a word, and rushed forward.

Chen Pingan was carrying a locust wood sword box and a young Taoist man with a mahogany sword on his back. He ran wildly in the rainy night, over mountains and ridges, like walking on flat ground.

As the young Taoist became more and more drowsy, the lamp became brighter and brighter.

Chen Pingan slowed down a little and looked up. He had been observing the scene over there. In the heavy rain, there were also two people walking together. Two young men who looked like scholars carried book boxes on their backs, one held a big umbrella, and the other Holding a torch, although they are as miserable as Chen Pingan and the others, but compared to the bleakness of the young Taoist, the two scholars in Confucian shirts are smiling and talking about something. A lucky thing to be happy about.

Neither of them seemed to notice Chen Pingan's approaching quietly.

This also reassured Chen Pingan a little. In the wilderness on a stormy night, there must be monsters. Once something unexpected happens, and the Taoist priest on his back cannot be left behind, it must be a hard battle.

From a distance away, Chen Ping shouted loudly in Aquarius dialect.

The two scholars did not hear it and continued on their way.

Chen Pingan breathed a sigh of relief again, even if it was a Qi trainer or a mountain monster, his morality would not be high. Of course, the opponent did not deliberately hide his clumsiness in the early stage.

It wasn't until a dozen steps away that two young men in Confucian shirts found Chen Ping'an.

They quickly stopped and waved to Chen Pingan. After some conversation, seeing the pale face of the young Taoist, one of the scholars from Caiyi Kingdom pointed to a place and comforted him: "I like to travel in mountains and rivers all my life, and I often go alone. Traveling far away, I remember that this place is deserted, but about three or four miles away, there is a house, which is most likely built by a hermit, and Brother Liu and I are going here, you may wish to go with us."

Another scholar holding an umbrella said with a wry smile: "We were sleeping in the open on a hillside a mile away, so we never thought that there would be such a heavy rain, if Brother Chu didn't know the way, it would be really ineffective every day. "

Chen Pingan quickly thanked him.

Two scholars who met by chance, one of them helped to hold an umbrella on the head of the former Taoist, and they were shivering in the rain by themselves.

The scholar who originally held the torch looked sad, because without the umbrella to cover it, even if the oil used in the torch was not ordinary, it was still extinguished under the heavy rain, and he was really reluctant to throw it away, so he held it in his arms.

Scholars can only rely on the light of lightning and thunder again and again, and rely on memory to move forward with difficulty.

They really found a house.

It is like a prosperous gate in a city of Zhou County. Although there are stone lions sitting at the gate, it looks small and not grand, but for some reason, there are no Spring Festival couplets hung, and no door gods posted.

Finally, there is still a chance to breathe under the eaves to hide from the rain.

The scholars who put away the umbrella hurriedly knocked on the door vigorously, regardless of etiquette.

After a long time, the door creaked and opened, just as a flash of lightning from the sky lit up the night, revealing a haggard and terrifying old face.

The scholar staggered in fright and almost fell backwards.

The sudden appearance of the old woman's face, in the sudden bright rain, let alone a timid scholar, even Chen Pingan, who had seen too many mountains and rivers and monsters, was startled.

Everyone just felt that the inside of the house might not be safer and warmer than the stormy world outside.

And Zhang Shan, the Taoist priest who is the most expert in subduing demons and demons, has already fallen asleep very shamelessly.
