Sword comes

Not long after Chen Ping returned to the porch and sat down, he didn't see Zhang Shanfeng, the bearded man was a jokester, so he said that the priest met a young lady and went out for a night tour.Liu Gaohua followed suit, Chen Pingan certainly didn't believe it, but looking at the face of the sheriff's son, Chen Pingan's eyes were a little strange, thinking that there would be no such coincidence in the world, he hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Have you already married sisters"

Liu Gaohua was at a loss, "No, there's only one sister. Now I'm not married and they're all unmarried. They're all eating and drinking at home. My father complains all day that we're a bunch of drunks and rice bags, and the salary is ruined by the three of us." , especially the preparation of the dowry gift, which caused him to not buy a clean sheet for several years."

Chen Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief, it's fine if she doesn't get married, otherwise, if the woman who looks somewhat similar to Liu Gaohua is really Liu Gaohua's sister, then she will go out of the wall with a branch of red apricot, Chen Ping'an is very embarrassed whether to say it or not.

The curtain on the high platform of the Huxin Pavilion soon came to an end, with thunderous applause, Junshou Liu and General Ma walked out of the water pavilion in person without relying on their official status, and went to the high platform to greet the old god. Feeling like a spring breeze, there was a young man who looked like a disciple of the gentry during the period, and he wanted to learn from the old god's teacher, but he was quickly dragged away by the housekeeper.

Taoist Zhang Shanfeng came back a few steps later than Chen Ping'an. When he saw Chen Ping'an, he sat there peacefully, relieved, and joked, "I thought you fell into the latrine."

Chen Pingan didn't want to reveal the battle in the small street, and said in a low voice: "I didn't find the latrine, and I was too embarrassed to ask the steward of the house, so I wanted to find a secluded place secretly, but I searched for a long time. There were so many people, I was embarrassed to squeeze in, so I stayed outside for a while."

The bearded man hurriedly asked: "I kept digging into the dark, but I didn't see any pictures of me and me. Let me tell you, this Caiyi country, especially Yanzhi County, has the most beauties. They like them all when they are free." Read some gaudy and forbidden books, if you read too much, don’t just follow the directions written in the book.”

When the man said this, Liu Gaohua couldn't help laughing, nodded vigorously and said: "Just like my little girl, who is only 13 years old, just because she peeked at a few Yanliu books, she didn't look at the love between men and women. Chivalrous, always yelling that the men in Yanzhi County are women, she is not happy, she only learns the tricks in the book to sneak out of the embroidery building and build a ladder to climb over the wall. Fortunately, she is smart, my mother is smarter than her, little The girl's film never succeeded."

The bearded man's eyes lit up, and he patted his chest and said, "Longing for Jianghu, that's good. Mr. Xu pretends to be full of Jianghu water, and just pick up a story or two, which are the best appetizers in the world."

Liu Gaohua rolled his eyes and said: "Don't, my sister is still young, Daxia Xu, the friendship between the two brothers is only friendship, and we only talk in the Jianghu. Besides, you have become my brother-in-law, and your seniority is not bad."

The man smiled and said, "Don't you have a sister?"

Liu Gaohua didn't dare to say anything more, as if he had something to hide.

Chen Pingan hesitated.

The bearded man laughed loudly, and slapped Liu Gaohua on the shoulder, "Look, it scares you. I, Xu, have been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I can't count my confidante on both hands. I have never felt sorry for the women in the embroidery building boudoir. interest"

After the banquet was over, they walked out of the house in the crowd, and the three of them returned to the inn. Liu Gaohua was arrested by his father to have a social relationship. Although his son was incompetent and poor in craftsmanship, his official career was basically cut off, but he was the only son in the family, and Liu Junshou still hoped that Liu Gaohua In the future, it will be able to support the facade, and it will not be too ugly.

On the way back, because he got two items, Chen Ping asked Xu Yuanxia and Zhang Shanfeng about the magic weapon.

If you want to blame it, you can blame the people Chen Ping met before, who were too out of the world. A Liang just casually carried a bamboo knife around his waist. Qi practitioners of the five realms, and the magic weapons they carry, are just children playing with mud, so it's not worth mentioning.The barefoot old man in the bamboo building was even more blunt, saying that if my generation of warriors can only travel around the world relying on external objects, it would be better to stay at home and work in the fields and become a farmer.

Chen Pingan was also very helpless.

Fortunately, after the introduction by Xu Yuanxia and Zhang Shanfeng, I got a general understanding of the division of "magic weapons". It turns out that the hierarchy is also strict, not much inferior to the official rank. "Magic weapon" is a very general term. The bottom object is a craftsman's tool, which can only be regarded as a well-cast dead thing. The Jianghu terms such as blowing hair and cutting hair, cutting iron like mud, mostly describe weapons in this category, and The items symbolically bestowed by the immortals on the mountain to beginner disciples are often good-looking craftsmen, just like the peach wood sword owned by Taoist Zhang Shanfeng.

Of course, if it is the mahogany sword bestowed by the Heavenly Master Mansion on Longhu Mountain, it will be far more than that.

Craftsmanship goes up to heavy weapons. Most of the magical weapons of the masters of the Jianghu belong to this category. A pure martial artist of the layman, a mountainside person on the road of practice, if he is lucky, he will have one or two "heavy weapons", which is not easy. Like Taoist Zhang Shanfeng, he dreams of heavy weapons, hoping to have a handy magic sword in the future .

The saber of the bearded man is actually the best among heavy weapons.

The next spiritual weapon and magical weapon are the real "magic weapons". Spiritual weapons are divided into congenital and acquired, and congenital spiritual weapons are even more rare.At critical moments, it can also repay the master at the cost of destroying the foundation.In fact, Xiaoxueqian can barely be counted as such, but the aura contained in a snowflake is too rare to be ignored. There are no Qi practitioners who are foolish enough to absorb Xiaoxueqian's aura to boost their cultivation realm.

Acquired artifacts, such as high-quality yellow paper talismans, and some miraculous artifacts carved and forged by Qi practitioners, such as the jade pendant of Fu Nanhua, the young lord of the Old Dragon City, named "Old Dragon Cloth Rain", It is the first-class item among the spiritual weapons, which is invaluable, and the "mandrill pot" he bought from Song Jixin is even more precious.

Compared with the "Old Dragon Cloth Rain Pendant" and "Mandrill Pot", the demon-binding ropes, demon-suppressing wood, and ghost-fighting bamboo whips carried by the qi practitioners of Shengao Sect, although they are also acquired spiritual weapons, no matter in terms of price or value. , are worlds apart.

Above the spiritual weapon is the magic weapon.

Fa has always been a big word.

Otherwise, there would be no theory of Taoism and Buddhism.

The magic weapon contains the invisible rules of the heaven and earth avenue.

The Yangjian Gourd, which is specially used to warm and raise Feijian, has firmly occupied a place.Of course, the silver Yangjian gourd that Aliang brought from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the gourd hanging from Su Jia’s waist in Zhengyang Mountain, are the heavenly nobles among the Yangjian gourds. According to legend, they were planted by the Taoist ancestor before his ascension. A string of gourd vines produced six gourds, which were then made into six sword-raising containers by the expert on the top of the mountain. Naturally, it was not comparable to ordinary sword-raising gourds.

There are immortal soldiers on top of the magic weapon.

Nine out of ten Qi practitioners on the mountain will not be able to see a single immortal soldier in their entire life.Even if it is the residence of the immortal family at the beginning of Zong, not all of them have immortal soldiers sitting on the top of the mountain.The leader of the Daoist sect of Yizhou, Qi Zhen, the leader of the Shengao sect, succeeded in breaking through the realm this time and became a heavenly monarch. Only then was he bestowed with an immortal weapon by the Shangzong of the Shenzhou of the Middle Earth.

The sword fairy Cao Xi of Nan Po Suo Continent, the flying sword of life tied to his wrist was a great chance that he met, and it was refined from the water of a big river. It can be regarded as a half-celestial weapon. This is the most dreadful place of Cao Xi.

But the most top-notch immortal soldiers in the world are all legendary existences, and those who own them have a transcendent status and are well-known in the world, such as the Tianshi seal and the fairy sword in the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain, and Yingyin When the ancestors of the Chen family traveled around the world when they were young, they got a small bronze tripod by chance. According to legend, it was an imitation of the great mountain and river tripod hung on the waist of the ancient saints.

Among the already rare immortal soldiers, there is another one that is even more legendary. After a long period of accumulation, it has bred a "god" with self-awareness.

This deity is by no means an upright god of mountains and rivers conferred by the secular court. The so-called immortal golden body of the upright god is probably inferior to such lofty "gods".

Chen Pingan knew it well.

Even if you put aside the five mountains, you are still very rich

With my current wealth, I am well-to-do

Porcelain bowls and ebony just "picked up" from the side of the road tonight.

A wooden sword "killing demons" made of locust wood.

The snake gallstone that Lu Chen returned to him through He Xiaoliang, even if he put aside his fondness for being a dragon in the world, it must belong to the highest quality spiritual weapon material.

And the three seals left by Mr. Qi are all carved from the best snake gallstones.

The wind and snow small cone pen presented by Li Xisheng, and a large stack of precious talisman paper.

The very special Yangjian gourd on the waist is a treasure that most sword cultivators of the middle five realms would salivate over.

Two natal flying swords that temporarily recognized him as the master, the first day and the fifteenth day of the junior high school.

So when Chen Ping walked back to the house alone, the wind was blowing under his feet, like a kid in Tsing Yi who didn't meet so-and-so on the road.

Although it is impossible to determine

drink drink

The sword-raising gourd was out of wine, so Chen Pingan went to the inn to ask the clerk about the price of the wine. He heard that the worst local wine from Rouge County cost at least eight cents a catty. Two, and never bargain. Chen Pingan's wine gourd can hold more than ten catties of wine, ten catties of the most expensive rouge wine, only 100 taels of silver, and it's not a hundred snowflakes for the gods on the mountain. Don't drink like this The fine wine is worthy of the golden and silver treasures on my body

So Chen Pingan decided to order ten catties of homemade shochu.

Originally, the three of them had already returned to their houses, but Liu Gaohua came to the inn again and knocked on Zhang Shanfeng's door first. This son of a Tianzihao official in Yanzhi County was embarrassed at the time, followed by a pair of talented young men and women. Her face was somewhat similar to Liu Gaohua's, so she was probably his sister.Tell Zhang Shanfeng about the matter, it turned out that he came to ask them for some quack bruises, and said that Mr. Liu was going to see the old god tonight, there were too many people, and it was a night road, so he accidentally fell and knocked. My head is in my head, and my head is still dizzy. The pharmacy in the county has long been closed, and his sister is really worried about Mr. Liu. After hearing that my younger brother knows the heroes of the rivers and lakes and the gods on the mountain, she wants to help her. Don't be left behind. The root of the problem, she will pay for all expenses.

The Taoist priest Zhang Shanfeng led the three of them to Xu Yuanxia's house. The bearded man was also relieved, and showed the frail scholar that it would not be a problem. He took out a cooling ointment and asked the scholar surnamed Liu to stick it on his temples to ensure that the medicine would cure the disease without any sequelae.

Only then did the woman feel relieved, and sat on the stool, looking at the scholar with soft eyes, full of love and pity.The scholar reassured him that he didn't have to worry about it, and he was serious about his words.

The bearded man couldn't stand these things the most, and his teeth ached when he saw it.

Although Zhang Shanfeng is a monk, he is unambiguous in joining in the fun. It is better to have fun alone than to have fun with others, so he immediately ran to pull Chen Pingan over.Said to be Liu Gaohua's older sister, a pretty girl with a decent appearance, she brought a gentle scholar with her tonight, presumably she would soon be Chenglong's son-in-law of the Sheriff's Mansion.Chen Pingan had just finished pouring the wine, filled it with Yangjian gourds, and the room smelled of wine and empty jugs. Seeing Zhang Shanfeng's posture of not giving up until he caught himself to watch a good show, because he didn't want to show his feet in the wine matter, So I had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​practicing the sword stove, and followed him to Xu Yuanxia's room. As soon as Chen Pingan entered, the talented man and beautiful woman who had a tryst under the moon gasped in unison.

The enemy doesn't move and I don't move.

Chen Pingan pretended not to know anything, sat down at the table, took off the wine gourd and started drinking.

The scholar surnamed Liu was neither sitting nor sitting, and Liu Gaohua's sister, the woman who was poisoned by the novels of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies, was even more guilty. After all, a young girl from a wealthy family was only one step away from a private life with a strange man. No matter how you look at it, it's not a good thing to talk about. Although the folk customs of Yanzhi County are open, the eldest daughter of a prefect of a county cuddles with a scholar from a foreign country, and people bump into each other. If they are acquaintances, I am afraid that half of the county will The city will spread the word.

Liu Gaohua wondered, "Why, the three of you know each other?"

The scholar who was still surnamed Liu would make it up, coughed, and explained: "I was walking by the lake with your sister tonight, and I happened to meet this young master, carrying a sword box on his back. Being impressed by the young master's demeanor is naturally unforgettable, and it is a great honor to meet again at this time."

The scholar bowed his hands to Chen Ping'an, his eyes full of pleading and pity.At that time, he just saw the young man under the apricot tree, with small arms and thin legs, and thought that God gave him a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be a hero to save the beauty. If he missed it, wouldn't it be a waste of time? A "misunderstanding" with a not-so-good ending.

Chen Pingan didn't like or dislike this person too much, he definitely didn't have a good impression, so he laughed, but he didn't expose the scholar's background, so he left room for maneuver.

After all, Chen Ping'an was still unwilling to get involved in Liu Gaohua's housework.

It has nothing to do with him whether this marriage is good or bad, whether it is a lover and a beautiful couple, a match made in heaven, or whether it is destined to be a dewy love affair.

But having said that, if Liu Gaohua was replaced by Zhang Shanfeng, a Taoist priest whom Chen Pingan regards as a true friend, Chen Pingan would definitely speak out. Too authentic, not like Mr. Pianpian who came from a scholarly family.

In the end, it is said that he traveled all the way to study, and this scholar surnamed Liu met Ms. Liu at a temple fair. He was so poor that he wanted to live with others, because the inn really couldn't vacate any rooms. , Liu Gaohua just smiled over there, begging the bearded man and Zhang Shanfeng to take them in. This opened Xu Yuanxia's eyes. It is rare to be a brother-in-law for this role. Not only did he not dislike the family background of a scholar surnamed Liu, but helped Helping my sister to conceal this improper relationship.

The scholar surnamed Liu didn't dare to live in the same room with Chen Ping'an, nor did he want to stay with the bearded man.He just picked the most normal and most pleasing young Taoist priest, and Zhang Shanfeng had no objection to that.

Liu Gaohua left the inn with his reluctant sister.

The two siblings were walking on the lonely street where the night was about to be banned. When Liu Gaohua was about to reach the gate of the county mansion, he said softly: "Sister, I don't like that person very much, but since you like him, I will do everything I can .If one day you find out that you are wrong, don’t feel that there is nothing wrong with it. The sky won’t fall down, your father beats and scolds you, or you do something too extreme in a hurry, then don’t be afraid, there is me, I am you Brother."

The woman kicked her younger brother lightly, and said angrily, "Liu Gaohua, why don't you say something about your sister, what are you talking about?"

Liu Gaohua turned his head and made a grimace.

The woman pretended to be frightened, yelled hell, picked up the hem of her skirt, and ran towards the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion.

Liu Gaohua sighed and followed quickly.

Liu Gaohua stopped suddenly, turned his head suddenly, and looked around the empty street, but he still didn't see anything unusual, he shook his head and continued walking.

Because at this moment just now, he felt chills on the back of his neck and back.

Liu Gaohua kept comforting himself in his heart, what was he afraid of, he was the one who met the old fairy with his father, and had a face-to-face chat with that fairy elder, with so much fairy spirit, even if there is a real fairy in the world Dirty and filthy things, like the dryad in the old house, are definitely not close to them now.

At the moment when the handyman closed the side door of the mansion, a night watchman happened to be beating the clock on a quiet and empty street in the distance, but for some reason, the gong of the fourth watch was sounding even though it was the hour of the third watch.

On the streets of Yanzhi County, a hoarse voice resounded faintly, "The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful with candles."

The blind old watchman who has been watching the night for many years, holding a bronze gong, should have accompanied a dumb companion who was in charge of holding the bang and beating the watch.

But the old watchman didn't know that the companion was replaced by a woman in white. Every time she struck the gong, blood would splatter on the surface of the gong, but before the blood splashed on the street, it turned into wisps of black smoke and quickly dissipated. go.

The blind old watchman still shouted hoarsely, the sky is dry and the things are dry, be careful of the candles.
