Sword comes

Finally, he left the blessed land of lotus flowers, which was bottomless. After the old Taoist left, the first thing Chen Pingan did was to ask about the current year of the Northern Jin Kingdom.Otherwise, I have been tricked by the old Taoist for ten or decades, and without the Long Qi Sword, I guess I can't find anyone if I want to take revenge.

Fortunately, after asking the merchants on the official road in the Northern Jin Dynasty, I was relieved. From the last six years of Guangxi to the seventh year of Guangxi, Tongyezhou is also in autumn at this time, and it is the solar term of Ouhua blessed land. Roughly the same, approaching the appearance of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Chen Pingan already had a psychological shadow of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and he didn't dare to stay any longer, and went all the way to the north. He had heard the name of Taiping Mountain for a long time, and wanted to take a look at it from a distance, but now he has no such idea. The relationship with Zhou Fei from Chunchao Palace, Feng Lufang from Bird's Eye, and Feng Qingbai, a ranger, is not on good terms. Chen Ping'an is now thinking of finding a ferry for the fairy family to go straight to Aquarius Island.

Although when he left his hometown, old man Yang reminded him not to return to the small town within five years, but if he did not go back to his hometown, there were still many places to go, such as the old dragon city where Fan Er lived, the Qingluan country where Zhang Shanfeng and Xu Yuanxia traveled, the old There are many places in Shushui Country where Sword Master Song Yushao lived, Shujian Lake where Gu Can lived, and Sui Academy where Li Baoping and the others studied.

In short, Tongyezhou should not stay for a long time.

Chen Ping put away the oil-paper umbrella that he brought out from the blessed place, and the two walked along the official road. The skinny little girl kept looking around curiously, "Where is this? Isn't it our Nanyuan country?"

When Chen Pingan asked people before, she couldn't understand a word.

Chen Pingan nodded, the extra small oil bottle was also the reason why Chen Pingan wanted to leave Tongyezhou immediately.Taking her to travel together with Lutai before, it will be very troublesome once you meet Shanzawa Yexiu who is robbing his house.But when he thought of Lutai, Chen Ping'an's heart became darker, the man selling candied haws.

Qi practitioners on the mountain, especially among the fairy queens, can often see the mountains and rivers in the palm of a god. Although they are not as omniscient and omnipresent as the old Taoists in Ouhua Blessed Land, it is not something that makes people feel relaxed.Regarding this supernatural art, when you return to your hometown in the future, you must ask the old man surnamed Cui or Wei Bo carefully, what are the ways and exquisiteness, and what are the taboos and restrictions.

Pei Qian continued to ask: "Is it your hometown? Is it the place where the gods live?"

Chen Pingan couldn't help laughing, and shook his head, "It's not my hometown, nor is it a fairyland."

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Pei Qian stopped asking.

She raised her hands and rubbed her eyes.

Chen Pingan asked: "What's wrong?"

Pei Qian raised his head and smiled brightly, "I always feel weird, but I can't remember anything. I was cleaning the yard at Cao Qinglang's house just now, and I ran here all of a sudden."

Chen Ping glanced at her.

Pei Qian immediately changed his words: "After cleaning the yard, I sat on the bench and ate melon seeds."

The two walked for more than [-] miles, and the little girl was already panting with exhaustion, wrinkled her face and said bitterly, saying that the soles of her feet were blistered.

Chen Pingan rented a carriage next to a post station, negotiated the price, and headed north. He made an appointment in advance to stop the horse in the border town of the Northern Jin Dynasty, about two days away.The Northern Jin Dynasty in Tongyezhou is very different from the Northern Jin Dynasty in Ouhua Blessed Land. There has been no war for a long time. Whether it is post road management or customs clearance documents, it is very loose. As long as you have money in your pocket, even if you are not an official, you can stay in the post. museum.

It was the first time for Pei Qian to ride in a carriage, and it felt very fresh. Sitting in the carriage, swaying, it was very comfortable. From time to time, he raised the curtain of the carriage to look at the scenery outside. After autumn, not far from the official road, you can often see The golden persimmon groves made her salivate, and she wished that Chen Pingan would tell the coachman to stop the carriage quickly and let her steal a few catties back.

Taking advantage of her looking out, Chen Pingan took out the four picture scrolls, with different scroll heads, one made of beetle-resistant rosewood, one white jade, and two of unknown materials. The four people in the picture scrolls were lifelike.

Wei Xian, the founding emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom, was sitting in an ordinary emperor's portrait, wearing a golden dragon robe, but his figure was not considered burly, but a bit thin, and with the loose dragon robe, it seemed a little out of place.

On the right side of Sui, who had failed in his ascension, he held a sword in his back and was heroic. The person in the painting looked at the person watching the painting.

Lu Baixiang, the leader of the Demon Cult, wears a bright red armor and holds a knife in front of his body. He looks more like a human monarch than Wei Xian.

Wu lunatic Zhu Lian, who died at the hands of Ding Ying, had a stooped figure, with his hands behind his back and his eyes squinted, like a little old man in the market.

These four scrolls only eat Guyu money?The problem lies in the people in a picture scroll, how many Grain Rain coins do you have to eat if you want someone of them to come out?Furthermore, the term loyalty is open to question.Taking ten thousand steps back, Chen Pingan is a pure martial artist, even the golden robes, infatuation, and Tingxue are regarded as external things by him.

Fortunately, this time in Ouhua Blessed Land, he was taken by the old Taoist to travel around the world. Chen Pingan learned more about the world and human relationships. They all began to look at it from a different perspective, and they were no longer so extreme about the "external objects", otherwise, according to their previous temper, these four paintings might be sold directly by Chen Pingan at a sky-high price.

Pei Qian craned his neck to look at the portrait on Sui's right, and said softly, "This sister is so beautiful."

Chen Pingan ignored them, and gently put away the four scrolls. They did not store them in the square inch in front of Pei Qian, but temporarily put them at his feet, feeling in his heart that these four ancestors were too difficult to raise.Where are the first and fifteenth days of junior high school? There is a gourd for raising swords, not to mention Gu Yuqian. They have depended on each other for so long and fought side by side many times. They didn’t spend a single snowflake. They don’t need Chen Pingan’s money to refine and raise swords. thought.

In fact, Chen Pingan owns a Dragon-Zhantai, which is the best millstone in the world for cultivating flying swords. It's just that Chen Pingan is willing to let go of the Dragon-Zhantai with "Innocence" and "Ningyao" engraved on it. In this matter, I have never had a temper with Chen Pingan, but I plan to return to Longquan County in the future, and I still try to buy a small dragon-slaying platform from the saint Ruan Qiong, so I can't treat them badly.

Chen Pingan will not save this expense, even if it is possible that it will not be Gu Yu's money, but gold, fine and copper coins.

Chen Pingan looked at her.

Pei Qian also looked at him, worried, for fear that he would kick her out of the carriage. She was not familiar with the place, so why should she be bullied to death?In the capital of Nanyuan Kingdom, she is familiar with the way, which houses can steal things, which children's things can be robbed, who can't provoke, who needs to please, she has a small calculation in her heart, and when she arrives here, she will soon enter It was winter, and a heavy snow fell, and she would freeze to death if she was not starved to death. She had seen many old beggars and little beggars who could not survive the heavy snow, frozen to death, very ugly.

Pei Qian knew that Chen Pingan didn't like him.

Just like she knew that Chen Ping'an liked Cao Qinglang very much.

She didn't want him to like her either, as long as he took care of food and drink, it would be best to give her a lot of money. As for whether he likes it or not, how much is it worth?

The coachman is an old man in this line and is familiar with the road. Chen Pingan and Pei Qian lived in a post house overnight, and the coachman himself took care of it in the carriage. I bought some food from the post house, put it in a package, it is convenient to carry it cross-body, and put some ordinary books, otherwise it would be too conspicuous to go out with empty hands.

After giving Pei Qian a portion of food, Chen Pingan went to his room, took off his sword, lit the oil lamp on the table, took out a carving knife and a small emerald green bamboo slip, and began to record what he had seen and heard during the trip to the blessed place of lotus flowers in tiny characters .

There was a knock on the door, Chen Pingan went to open the door, Pei Qian stood outside the door, timidly said: "It's pitch black, I'm a little scared."

Chen Pingan thought it was a little funny, thinking that you are so brave enough to sleep on the back of a lion in front of a rich man's house, and you will be afraid if you live in the house?

However, Chen Pingan still let her into the house, she closed the door obediently, Chen Pingan motioned her to sit across the table, and said slowly: "This is called Tongyezhou, it is a big place, we are going to Baopingzhou, my hometown Just to the north of Aquarius Continent, from tomorrow you will start to learn the dialect of Aquarius Continent and the Daliguan dialect of my hometown."

Pei Qian smiled brightly and nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

It's not that she wants to learn some nonsense and elegant official language, but the guy in front of him is clearly implying that he wants to take her to his hometown. Doesn't this mean that she can eat and drink all the way, and have no worries about food and clothing?

But what Chen Pingan said below was like pouring cold water, making the skinny little girl look cloudy and full of slander and complaints. Chen Pingan picked up the carving knife and continued to carve words on the Qingshen mountain bamboo slips presented by Wei Bo. With one stroke of the pen, he engraved it meticulously, and at the same time said to Pei Qian: "From tomorrow on, in addition to teaching you Elegant Chinese and Mandarin, you will also be taught how to read. If I see that you have learned well, you will be able to eat well and learn a lot. If not, eat less."

She had a bitter face, "I'm stupid."

Chen Pingan snorted, "Then I can save money."

Pei Qian secretly glanced at Chen Ping'an, she didn't seem to be joking, she immediately smiled and said: "I will learn by heart."

Having said that, she leaned on the table and asked in a low voice, "Can you buy me some clothes?"

Chen Pingan didn't raise his head, "When it's cold, I'll add a thicker dress for you."

She muttered: "It's autumn, the weather is already very cold, and look, my shoes are all torn. Really, I won't lie to you. If I accidentally get sick, you still have to take care of me, which is very troublesome." of……"

Speaking of which, she raised her foot, the shoes were really torn, and her dark toes were indeed exposed.

Chen Pingan put down the carving knife, and gently wiped off the invisible bamboo debris with his fingers, "Go back to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow and hurry."

Pei Qian didn't say anything anymore, got up and left the room silently, and after returning to the next door, he closed the door, immediately opened up with a smile on his face, and immediately put on a straight face, not letting himself laugh out loud, threw himself on the quilt, rolled happily, and finally looked at the ceiling, After kicking off the broken shoes on her feet, remembering Chen Pingan's appearance, she imitated him and silently said "go back to sleep", but she didn't dare to say it out loud, and then made a face.

Before going to bed, she jumped out of bed, went to light the oil lamp on the table, and only then did she wake up until dawn.

No lights, no lights.

That's what rich people are supposed to do.

In the next room, Chen Ping wrote densely packed "Ouhua Blessed Land: Landscape Travel Notes" on three bamboo slips, blew out the lamp, and began to practice six-step walking, matching the various sword-holding gestures in the swordsmanship, Still a false grip.

The steps are soundless, like fish in water, the fists are fully retracted, and the spirit is restrained.Compared with Chen Ping's boxing at the bank of the Longxu River back then, it was a world of difference.

Now that Chen Pingan is practicing boxing, he can completely distract himself from other things.

In Shaking Mountain boxing score, after walking and standing, there is actually a "Qianqiu" sleeping pile. Chen Pingan has already known the principles and airs of boxing. Now that he has entered the four realms, he already finds it easy to learn. The key is the sleeping pile. The essence lies in the four-character saying that "a big dream is like death", which will make a person's soul like stagnant water in an ancient well, and gain thorough self-cultivation. Ping An didn't dare to sleep too hard, so he kept delaying it, and could only wait until he returned to Longquan.

It was too hasty to leave the Ouhua Blessed Land this time.

Otherwise, Chen Pingan would definitely try his best to collect the best martial arts in the world. Looking back now, Ding Ying's martial arts path was not wrong. He really stood on the top of the mountains and can be called the highest peak of martial arts in Ouhua Fudi. If you want to get to this point, in addition to your own perception, you also need to watch the scenery of the lower mountains, corroborate each other, check for omissions and fill in the gaps, and finally become your own boxing will, that is the real boxing.

How similar is this to reading and reasoning?

It is also similar to the construction of bridges in the books of the Ministry of Industry.

Unknowingly, the sky outside the window has turned pale.

Chen Ping practiced boxing all night and didn't even break a sweat. I'm afraid this is the convenience of reaching the five realms, but it doesn't matter if he wears golden robes and doesn't sweat.

When Chen Ping was practicing boxing, Lianhua, who had healed from his injuries, sat on the edge of the table and dozed off. After leaving the Lotus Blessed Land, the little guy seemed to have something on his mind.

Chen Pingan stopped punching and sat at the table, the little guy drooped his head.

Chen Pingan smiled and rubbed its head, without saying anything, comforting people is really not something Chen Pingan is good at.

He took out four more scrolls, spread them out on the table, and began to think about whether to "bet".

In the past, Chen Pingan was as afraid of luck as a tiger.

Now I have untied a lot of knots. In fact, after the Lizhu Cave shattered and fell to the ground, it was once calculated by the head teacher Lu Chen, and he was involved with the god Emperor He Xiaoliang. Kun Chuan parted ways with He Xiaoliang, luck is still not bad.

Moreover, Chen Ping's net worth is not too small now, not to mention the huge benefits of traveling with Lutai, but only the Yin God who accompanied Zheng Dafeng in the old dragon city. A small bamboo slip of Fen Yongzhu seems to be for the purpose of buying the sentence "the gods are different, the yin and yang are separated, the soul can calm the mind, and the soul can shape the golden body".

Therefore, Chen Pingan didn't expect to be able to "support" the four paintings, and choosing one of them was like a small gamble, which was considered appropriate.

The chaos has broken out, and Chen Ping'an really needs some helpers to help take care of the family business.

Chen Pingan didn't dare to expect too much for the old man surnamed Cui. One was just teaching boxing and the other was just learning boxing. He couldn't ask for anything more.

After all, Wei Bo is the righteous god of the mountains and has his own responsibilities.

The little boy in Tsing Yi and the girl in the pink skirt are two little fellows, and Chen Pingan treats them more like an elder brother treats the two children.If something really happened, Chen Ping'an would not let them take risks, but would only keep them away from right and wrong.

For the four people in the painting, Chen Pingan did not have so much burden.

As for how to get along after getting acquainted, that's when the time comes.

Among the four scrolls, Chen Pingan didn't know who to choose first, but he was very sure not to choose which one to choose first, which was the portrait on the right side of Sui Dynasty.

If Ning Yao found out about this in the future, and he was accompanied by a woman who walked out of the painting, and spent a lot of Gu Yu's money, would it be okay?

So Chen Ping first included this painting in Feijian Fifteen.

Then Lu Baixiang, the founder of the Demon Cult, was also put away. At first glance, he was a rebellious person, and he created the largest underground force in Ouhua Blessed Land. After Chen Pingan finally invited him out, what if it was that spring Chaogong Zhoufei and his like are tyrannical villains who disregard ethics and are rebellious. Could it be that he is being imprisoned back to the picture scroll?

There is no reason in the world not to treat money as money.

Grain rain money is not that snowflake money, let alone even snowflake money.

Putting away the second picture, only Wei Liang's ancestors and the seemingly kind Wu lunatic Zhu Lian were left. The latter used to be the owner of the silver lotus crown. Ding Ying almost lost his life on Guniu Mountain in the first battle. It was the most dangerous battle in Chen Ping's life.

Chen Ping stared at the two paintings, hesitating.

The little lotus figure sat silently in front of Chen Ping'an, also looking at the two portraits seriously.

Chen Pingan couldn't make up his mind, and asked with a smile: "Which one do you think is more pleasing to the eye?"

The little lotus figure turned his head. The little guy with only one arm pointed to the scroll, and then pointed to himself, as if asking Chen Pingan if he really wanted him to choose?

Chen Ping smiled, narrowed his eyes, and nodded.

The little guy Ma Liuer stood up, walked along the edge of the two scrolls, ran around with wide eyes, and even lay down on the table to look at the two people in the paintings, very serious and cute.

Chen Ping'an is happy to see it.

The little guy finally squatted on the ground and pointed to the portrait of Wei Xian beside him.

Chen Ping laughed and said, "That's him."

After the little guy got up, he quickly ran to the edge of the table and tugged at Chen Pingan's sleeves. He was a little worried, probably because he was afraid that he had made the wrong choice.

"It's okay, you have to choose anyway, and it doesn't matter if you choose wrong." Chen Ping stretched out his finger and scratched its creaking nest, and the little guy giggled.

Chen Pingan took out a grain rain coin, held it between his fingers, and gently placed it on the portrait of the founding emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom. When the grain rain coin touched the scroll, it immediately melted like ice and snow, and the surface of the scroll was soon covered with a layer of Gu Yuqian's aura was misty, like the water vapor of a lake, and then suddenly rippling and scattered. Looking at the portrait of Wei Xian again, Chen Pingan felt a little more "angry", especially the luxurious dragon robe with broken warp and weft. Above, golden light flashed.

It's a pity that there are no more clues to be seen. It is still a cloud of fog to know how many Guyu coins will be spent.

Chen Pingan made up his mind to throw ten Gu Yu coins into it. If there is still no clear sign, it will be a waste of money.

Carefully put away the picture scroll, Chen Pingan hung the infatuated snow on his waist, put on the cotton bag, went out to call Pei Qian next door, and continued on his way.

After knocking on the door for a long time, the little girl dawdled and opened the door sleepily. After seeing Chen Ping'an, she felt a little reluctant.

After Chen Pingan got dressed, he saw her walking towards him, and he pointed to the bed.

Pei Qian looked bewildered.

Chen Pingan said: "Pack up and leave."

Pei Qian said aggrievedly: "We paid to live in the post house, you spent a lot of money."

Chen Pingan remained silent.

Pei Qian had no choice but to turn around and tidy up the bedding.

Chen Ping glanced at the oil lamp on the table and frowned.

Afterwards, I took a carriage all the way to the north. The coachman was familiar with the route, and it was probably just the right time for the two guests to stay in post stations and some town inns, without the opportunity to eat and sleep in the open.

Chen Pingan began to teach her elegant Mandarin, as well as some general customs of Dongbaopingzhou and Dali Dynasty, and then took out a Confucian classic bought from Zhuangyuan Lane Bookstore, and taught her to read and write. , It is said in elegant official language, killing three birds with one stone, but Pei Qian is not very attentive in learning, but she has already known more than a hundred words, but she doesn't like reading at first glance, she obviously prefers to sleep late in the carriage Even if she doesn't do anything, Chen Pingan ignores her, as long as she is allowed to sleep, she can sleep for most of the day, and when she wakes up, she can lift the curtain of the car to enjoy the scenery, and sleep after watching, which is also considered a skill.

Since then, there has been a lot of rain.

Slowly, the carriage finally arrived at the Northern Jin border county town. Chen Pingan paid the other half of the money and started walking with Pei Qian.

Because the weather turned cold and it rained frequently, Chen Pingan still bought her a set of thick clothes and new boots, but she didn’t give them to her immediately. All right.

The gates of ordinary cities in the Northern Jin Dynasty were not strict. As long as the coachman had a relationship, Pei Qian, who had no household registration and customs clearance documents, could enter the city smoothly. The hardworking Li Baoping, one day at a time, even though Chen Pingan took good care of her feet, she still complained endlessly, shed tears again and again, seeing that no matter how good-tempered Chen Pingan was, she would be annoyed even if she wasn't bothered.

But after putting on new clothes and new boots, Pei Qian recovered for a few days, and then her clothes, because she never knew how to cherish them, were soon torn to pieces by the hooks on the mountain roads, and she relapsed into old ways. Chen Pingan promised to buy her another suit when he arrived in the next town, and only then did he regain his energy. However, the border of the Northern Jin Kingdom was long and the mountain roads were difficult. Pei Qian kept his face dark all day long. She was asked to use tree branches to practice writing on the ground, and she deliberately wrote to make earthworms crawl. If she was asked to write a hundred characters, she would never write one more character.

During this period, Chen Pingan "fed" three Gu Yuqian.

Because now Chen Ping'an is practicing boxing when he walks, and almost every breath is tempering his body, so it seems that Chen Ping'an puts all his energy on the stake sword furnace.

Only when Chen Pingan practiced the sword stove, Pei Qian became energetic and did not dare to get close to Chen Pingan, so he stood in the distance and silently watched him standing in the same place, as if he was standing still like a piece of wood. Over time, Pei Qian also found it boring .

That night, Chen Pingan took her to sleep in a wilderness. Last time in the border town, in addition to the small leather tent specially prepared for Pei Qian, Chen Pingan also bought a fishhook and fishing line, and found a small tent on the mountain. I made a fishing rod out of bamboo and started fishing at night by the stream.

In the middle of the night, Chen Pingan turned his head, and there was a red light flashing in the distant mountains and forests.

A strange scene soon appeared.

There are eight big sedan chairs with red lanterns hanging on the four corners. The people who carry the sedan chairs seem to be ghosts who grew up in the mountains. The characters who beat the gongs and drums are a group of ghosts and ghosts. .

Next to the sedan chair, there was an old woman dressed up in festive bright red clothes, with heavy makeup, two blushes, and a pale face, but there were puffs of black smoke lingering around her.

Chen Pingan is now familiar with the affairs on the mountain, and knows that this is probably the so-called marriage of the mountain god.

He didn't want to make a fuss, so he pretended he didn't see anything.

It's just that Pei Qian woke up at this time, got out of the cowhide tent, rubbed his eyes, and stared blankly at the welcoming team.
