Sword comes

After Liu Xianyang and Chen Ping'an walked out of the clay bottle alley, they found two groups of people standing on the left and right, the little girl riding on the neck of the burly old man, and the arrogant boy in bright red robes standing beside the graceful woman.When Liu Xianyang walked through it, he was poised, and in the eyes of the white-haired old man, he had the demeanor of a general.

After Lu Zhengchun said goodbye to the two, he tremblingly stayed where he was, and reported cautiously: "Liu Xianyang suggested that the immortal masters give a suitable price, and next time he will reluctantly part with his love and sell the heirloom."

The woman looked at the white-haired old man in Zhengyang Mountain and asked with a smile, "What do you think of Senior Ape?"

The old man thought for a while, and said solemnly: "There are only three things, before that, according to what Liu Xianyang said, giving him a monstrous wealth is that Zhengyang Mountain can give this young man the identity of a true disciple of the mountain sect, other than that. In addition, I will privately borrow a magic weapon from him for a period of one hundred years. As for your Xu family in Qingfeng City, you can do it yourself."

The woman was shocked and said: "The true identity of Zhengyang Mountain is already extremely honorable, and the senior ape has to come up with a magic weapon? Could it be that this young man surnamed Liu is still a cultivation genius who was leaked by a porcelain buyer at the age of nine? "

The old man turned a deaf ear, and just smiled at the little master: "There are many shops in the town, each with its own origins. The young lady can stroll around, and maybe she will be able to pick up leaks."

The little girl shouted "drive, drive" with childlike innocence, and the old man, the chief worshiper of Zhengyang Mountain, laughed and started jogging, like a mountain moving.

The boy smiled and said, "Zhengyang Mountain is really majestic!"

The woman motioned for Lu Zhengchun to go back to the house first. She took her son to walk on the street at will, and explained the origin to him, "In addition to the ordinary mountaineering main road in Zhengyang Mountain, there is also a special 'kendo', which has been passed down to this day. , has opened up six paths to the top, which means that there have been six genuine Taoist swordsmen in Zhengyang Mountain."

The boy sneered and said, "What's the use of the old yellow calendar? How many years does it take to eat the old instincts? The qi cultivators from all sides who can come into the town, even if they are better than our later batches, every family, whose ancestors have never been richer?"

The woman held the child's hand and said with a smile, "Then do you know that in the last hundred years, two brand-new kendos are about to reach the top of Zhengyang Mountain? That little girl of the same age as you is amazing because she can On the top of the sword, where the sword energy is vertical and horizontal, it is easy to advance and retreat, and the length of stay is not inferior to that of the ancestors of Zhengyang Mountain."

The boy was stunned for a while, then stopped and said extremely annoyed: "Since that stupid girl has such a good life, why didn't you tell me earlier, mother, I won't fight her all the way, and make her okay? Just contradict me, if you let me marry her as a daughter-in-law in a few years, and then take advantage of the situation to form a Taoist partner, wouldn’t it be a great benefit to our Qingfeng City?!”

The woman looked at the beautiful face that was still childish, full of anger, like a young tiger, she smiled instead of anger, "You and that little girl are both great practitioners who are expected to ascend to the 'upper five realms', so Your marriage line will be more complicated and changeable, and you will do it on your own and deliberately, but it will not be beautiful. Do you really think that the girl now just hates you wholeheartedly? "

The boy frowned and said, "Otherwise?"

The woman said softly, "Let's go with the flow."

The boy suddenly said solemnly, "Mother, I don't like the guy behind Liu Xianyang. At first glance, I don't like it very much!"

The woman asked curiously, "Why is this?"

The child thought for a moment and replied, "This guy is a bit strange. He is different from Lu Zhengchun, who understands everything, and Liu Xianyang, who doesn't understand everything. Also, I especially hate his eyes!"

The woman just thought it was her son and started to be childish, so she persuaded: "In the small town, you can't do whatever you want, but you want to think about the fate of everyone here after the collapse of the world. Do you feel much more comfortable in your heart? ."

The child nodded, and subconsciously repeated the words when he first saw the straw shoes as a teenager, "Ant!"

----

After leaving the town, Chen Ping'an and Liu Xianyang soon saw the covered bridge, and Liu Xianyang asked casually, "You said that Song Jixin, his father, why did he want to build this covered bridge? What happened to cover the old stone arch bridge, I heard that the stone bridge was not demolished, it was like wearing a piece of clothing, I don’t know if it will be hot in summer, hahaha…”

In the end, the tall boy was amused by himself.

On this end of the covered bridge hangs a plaque with gold characters, a four-character plaque that I don't know who wrote it.

When the two teenagers walked up the steps, Liu Xianyang stomped a few feet and said mysteriously, "Old man Yao once told me that there was something strange under the steps, saying that when the covered bridge was just built, there was a night in the middle of the night. Here, Song Jixin's father ordered people to dig a big pit here and bury a large porcelain pot as tall as a person. Are you afraid?"

Chen Pingan said angrily, "What's there to be afraid of?"

The two walked into the shady covered bridge, and Liu Xianyang said in a low voice, "Do you think it's because of the deep pool under the bridge that more than a few people have been drowned, and you need to invite a monk and a Taoist priest to do the trick?"

Chen Ping'an never said anything about ghosts and gods.

Liu Xianyang lost interest when he could not get an answer.

This newly-built wooden covered bridge still has a faint smell of wood and lacquer. The wood of the main beams and pillars is all felled from the deep mountains and old forests that have been banned for countless years. It is extremely difficult to transport them out of the mountains. The water level of the creek that runs along the mountain is usually not high, and it is far from enough to float the huge wood. We have to choose the time of heavy rain. The mountain road is muddy and slippery. If you are not careful, you will fall into the flood. It is extremely dangerous. Fortunately, there was no such time. The young and strong people fell into the water and died. Some people say that it was the trip to transport the wood out of the mountain. Qi Jingchun, the master of the school, personally went to help and taught people how to operate. Therefore, it was thanks to Mr. Qi that everything was safe.

When they reached the steps of the covered bridge on the north side, Liu Xianyang suddenly sat down on the huge long strip of bluestone, and Chen Ping'an had to squat beside him.

Liu Xianyang smiled and asked, "If it wasn't for me, would you and Song Jixin become very good friends?"

Chen Ping shook his head and said, "Maybe the relationship is better, but it's not much better."

br />

Liu Xianyang asked curiously, "Why, you two neighbors are about the same age. To be honest, Song Jixin likes to drop bookcases, and his speech is ugly, but he doesn't seem to have done anything that hurts the world. Are you? A good temperament, why not?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Don't talk about this, when we arrive at the blacksmith shop, don't be fooled. If you can keep your treasure armor, it depends on whether you can become Master Ruan's apprentice."

"I know, I know, Chen Ping'an, to be honest, your temper that likes to babble, you really have to change it in the future, or you will be annoying to death."

Liu Xianyang fell back, resting the back of his head on the top steps of the covered bridge, looking at the blue sky, and said, "You followed Old Man Yao very far and climbed very high mountains, how far can you see the scenery? what?"

Chen Pingan pulled out a piece of licorice, dusted off the dust, and chewed it in his mouth. He said vaguely, "The farthest time, it should be the year before the new year. I went back and forth with old man Yao, about a ten-day period. The top of the forbidden mountain went around a dozen or so, and finally came to a very strange mountain, so high that you might not believe it. In the end, old man Yao and I finally reached the top of the mountain, and as a result..."

Liu Xianyang waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for the next text. He turned his head and smiled and said, "If you didn't poop and poop like this, you just lifted the crotch!"

Chen Ping'an was a little sentimental, and said softly, "You know, old man Yao has a very bad impression of me, and he almost never told me the truth, and he was unwilling to teach me the real skill of firing porcelain. Every time I went into the mountains, old man Yao didn't love me. Talking, often from entering the mountain to returning to the dragon kiln, together, there are actually not a few words, but after reaching the top of the mountain, the old man Yao was probably in a good mood, so he said more, saying let me see there It’s okay to see the scenery, don’t talk too much after going down the mountain, you should bury your head in your work, just play tricks, and it will be shameful even if you leave the town in the future.”

Liu Xianyang comforted him: "It's not that I said good things to old man Yao. He doesn't like you, but he doesn't hate you either. He has a bad temper with everyone, so he's a little better on my side."

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "So in my heart, I have always been grateful to Old Man Yao."

Liu Xianyang suddenly said angrily, "After so much talk, you haven't said what you saw!"

Chen Pingan stretched out his finger and pointed to the east, "The mountain we climbed is already very high, but when I looked at the top of the mountain, there was another mountain in the far east. It was even higher. I couldn't tell how high it was."

Liu Xianyang scolded and said: "Isn't it just seeing a high mountain, I fucking thought you saw an immortal flying through the clouds and driving the mist!"

Chen Ping'an thought for a while, and said with longing: "Maybe there are gods on that mountain?"

Liu Xianyang smiled and asked, "Chen Ping'an, do you think gods also need to eat and drink?"

Chen Ping'an rubbed his chin, "It would be a shame if the gods were going to shit too."

Liu Xianyang slapped Chen Ping'an on the head with a slap, then stood up and ran, "This is not a fairy, it's shit on your head!"

Liu Xianyang's attack was neither light nor heavy. This time, Chen Ping'an was a little dizzy, and he didn't even think about chasing the tall boy. After getting up, he said to himself, "Thunder, are the gods sleeping and snoring? It shouldn't be a fairy peeing, then we are too miserable..."

Chen Pingan quickened his pace and quickly caught up with Liu Xianyang.

After playing around, I finally came to the blacksmith shop by the stream. Seven or eight yellow mud houses and huts have been built. In Chen Ping'an's eyes, these are huge sums of copper coins.

There are also a large group of small town teenagers and young adults who are digging wells. Most of their peers are apprentices of the dragon kiln like Liu Xianyang. After losing the porcelain rice bowl rewarded by the emperor, they can continue to make iron rice bowls in the blacksmith shop. Good luck.However, according to Liu Xianyang, most of these helpers are part-time workers who do chores. Master Ruan said that he only accepts a few disciples at most, and the rest become long-term workers at most.

Liu Xianyang waved his hand and said, "You wait here, I'll go say hello to Master Ruan, and see if I can show you the scene of blacksmithing, tsk tsk, if you see the appearance of his daughter hammering the iron, I promise to scare you to death. !"

Chen Ping'an stood there and did not move around at will.

Looking around, there are already seven wells in prototype form, and there are still reel racks and fences at the wellheads. Some wellheads are constantly being drilled with dustpans on their heads.

Looking at the busy people digging wells, Chen Ping'an habitually squatted down, picked up a handful of soil, and slowly rubbed his fingertips.

It is relatively moist to the touch, but it is actually not water-based soil. On the contrary, it is fire-like soil, but it belongs to the last type of fire-like soil. According to old man Yao, this is called "fire soil flowing in July", and the soil properties will automatically change. Turning to warm and cool, not too dry, strong plasticity, and this means that when reinforcing the well wall, it is not easy to collapse, which is a good thing.

Obviously, the blacksmith Master Ruan is definitely not a layman, even if he is not an expert in digging wells.

It's just that Chen Ping'an didn't quite understand what to do with so many wells in such a big place.

Chen Pingan turned his head to look in the direction of the stream and grinned.

Now, in the eyes of the boy with straw sandals, this unnamed stream is a treasure trove of gold, silver and copper coins.

It's just that after touching the snake gallstone tonight, Chen Ping'an will secretly go to Mud Bottle Alley, and go to the bottom of his big water tank to dig something according to the whispers before taking care of Can out of the town.At that time, Gu Can walked on fire and didn't say anything, only said that it was his baby, and even his mother didn't know where the things were hidden by him.

When Chen Pingan thought of the slug, he wanted to laugh.

In the past, Chen Ping'an was a follower behind Liu Xianyang's buttocks. He followed Liu Xianyang to catch fish, snakes and dig bird's nests. After Chen Ping'an became a teenager, he also had a small follower behind him.

For the helpless youth with straw sandals, one is his elder brother and the other is his younger brother.

One needs his repayment, the other needs his care.

So after so many years, Chen Ping's life has been very hard, but not hard.
