Sword comes

Chapter 780

Wu Shuangjiang raised the ancient teacup with partridge spots in his hand, he took a sip of the tea, looked at Chen Ping'an, smiled and said, "Master Yinguan just ask for the price, let's talk about it first, don't worry about being judged by me." It's the lion who opened his mouth, and Wu and his Taoist couple have two lives, and it's not an exaggeration to ask for a price."

Cui Dongshan sneered and said: "Buying and selling by force, isn't it a master's style?"

Wu Shuangjiang nodded and said: "There is such a suspicion, but it's just about the family and life, so I can't help me to pay attention to the demeanor of a fairy."

Jiang Shangzhen sighed: "It's really frank. After all, Old Immortal Wu is a great monk in the fourteenth realm. His words and deeds are consistent, and he is upright."

Wu Shuangjiang smiled and said, "I've been hacked to death by some of you once, so it's not a big problem if I get a few more strange words."

The battle for the great way must definitely be a life-and-death battle for the great way. Jiang Shangzhen was so angry that he wanted to get up and say a few words, put Cui Dongshan's hands on his shoulders, pressed them back hard, and complained: "What? Well, if you can’t fight again and again, save some energy, if you can’t reach an agreement later, the important task of kowtowing to God Wu and begging for mercy will have to be handed over to you, the chief priest.”

After Chen Ping took his seat, he took out a porcelain vase, applied the plaster secretly made by the Yang family pharmacy on his hands, wrapped it up skillfully, twisted out a few bones and raw meat talismans, and finally covered his sleeves with both hands, and said: "Senior, please look through the plaster." Old Huangli, after listening to it, the younger generation will make a decision."

Wu Shuangjiang looked at this young man who was always calm and calm, and asked with a smile, "How did you make that last sword move?"

If Ning Yao handed out that sword instead, Wu Shuangjiang would not be surprised, but a Yupu Realm swordsman, holding a long sword, but half the rank of the fairy sword, can directly cut open his real body, heaven and man. Mutually?

Chen Pingan said: "I can't talk about any superior sword moves, just jumping forward and slashing wildly with the sword, but the method of movement, the sword energy from the Great Wall of Sword Qi stopped at eighteen, and added some boxing techniques, it is called God Man Drum beat."

On the side of Wu Shuangjiang, who is learning everything, it doesn't make much sense to deliberately hide it. In this case, it's better to be honest.

Wu Shuangjiang nodded with a smile, raised his hand and put his fingers together, and with a light swipe, eighteen grains of mustard sword energy appeared on the table, not in a straight line, but the hovering position just fits the eighteen small worlds of energy, and they are connected together to form a line, the sword light bloomed slightly, the table was like the earth, the sword energy was like stars, Wu Shuangjiang seemed to create a pocket galaxy out of thin air, Wu Shuangjiang suddenly clenched a fist with his other hand, and slowly pushed it out, shaking his head, as if dissatisfied, counting After changing the subtle trajectory again and again, and finally handing out a punch, it is completely natural. After the sword energy is meticulously connected, it is a hovering long sword, or a complete stack of eighteen punches.

Wu Shuangjiang twisted his wrist, and put this "picture scroll" that is both a sword manual and a boxing manual into his sleeve, without concealing his admiration, nodded and smiled: "Fist is a good fist, but unfortunately I am not a pure martial artist. Incomplete, missing a fundamental spirit."

Wu Shuangjiang thought for a while, twisted out a blue talisman from his sleeve, pushed it lightly, and floated towards Chen Pingan, "Take it as a small compensation for the removal of the palace."

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "You will not be rewarded for your merits. The swordsmanship and boxing that the senior learned secretly by his own ability, the junior pinches his nose and recognizes it."

Wu Shuangjiang smiled and said: "It's a Taiqing Lightness Talisman, also known as the Bairi Juxing Baolu, and it is also called the Shangshijie Talisman by the Taoist Qingming. It is my proud work. Life Talisman. Like the previous Moon Palace Jade Ax Talisman, they are all well-deserved great Talismans."

Chen Pingan was indifferent when he heard the words, but still declined.

If today's final deal is concluded with this light-handed talisman, let alone one, even if Wu Shuangjiang offers a large stack, he will accept it without hesitation and will not refuse anyone.But Wu Shuangjiang's temperament is unpredictable, Tian Xiao can't turn his face at any time, if he tampers with a talisman, and then accepts it generously, it is not a way of death.

Seeing that the young hermit was ignorant of compliments, Wu Shuangjiang was not annoyed, but he did not take back the talisman of "green words and green chapter root material", which gently fell on the table in front of Chen Ping'an.

Cui Dongshan stood behind Jiang Shangzhen, stood on tiptoes, and looked hard at the rare talisman on the table. The method of drawing talismans can be learned a bit, but the talisman paper is difficult to replace, because the material of the talisman paper is extremely expensive and valuable. Not to mention Liancheng, the main thing is that there is a price but no market. In the Qingming Tianxia, ​​​​the immortals on the twelfth floor of the fifth city of Baiyujing are specially used to invite gods to descend on real good things.

Wu Shuangjiang turned his head to look at the "old" suzerain of the Yuguizong with snow-white temples, and said with a hearty smile, "You and I can be regarded as fellows."

The woman that both parties like is not the most beautiful woman on the mountain.For monks like them, what kind of beauty can't they have?

Jiang Shangzhen raised his hands and clasped his fists, shook it gently, and said with a playful smile: "Thank you, thank you."

The seats for five people in the house are also very interesting.

Wu Shuangjiang's back to the window faces the door, and the top of the wine table faces the door as respect.

Among Chen Ping's group, after Wu Shuangjiang entered the room and took his seat first, although Chen Ping'an was the lowest level, and was also seriously injured, second only to Cui Dongshan, who was shattered and shattered, he still sat on the long seat on Wu Shuangjiang's left. on the stool.So the location is closest to Wu Shuangjiang.

Ning Yao seemed to protect the way, choosing to sit beside Chen Pingan.

Jiang Shangzhen was the first to sit on the right side of Wu Shuangjiang. In this way, the seat opposite Wu Shuangjiang was given to the most injured boy in white, who was relatively farthest from Wu Shuangjiang.It's just that Cui Dongshan didn't sit down, but stood behind Jiang Shangzhen.

Except Wu Shuangjiang, an outsider.

There are four people at a table in the room, but they are all thinking about others.

Luobashan, good atmosphere.Between a pair of young gods and Taoists, between the master and the student, between the suzerain and the priest, without exception, they can all be entrusted with life and death.

It is most suitable to follow these people naturally.

That's why when Wu Shuangjiang showed up, he didn't hide his murderous intentions, and he didn't have the slightest intention to sit down and discuss.

The purpose is to verify one thing, Chen Ping'an can see the weight of a deal, an agreement, and how much Chen Ping'an is willing to pay to fulfill the agreement.

"What is the rarest thing on a wine table?"

Wu Shuangjiang asked himself and answered: "A table of wine guests will not be an eyesore."

Just as Chen Pingan was about to speak, Wu Shuangjiang raised his chin towards the door, "You can leave first, so that your disciple and that little water monster can rest assured, and then we can talk about business. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for you." Really peace of mind."

Chen Pingan nodded, went to Ning Yao's room, and told Pei Qian that he was fine, but he didn't want to rush to wake up the sleepy Mi Li.

Finding that Pei Qian was still worried, Chen Ping bent his fingers and tapped the chestnut shape. Pei Qian smiled, sat back in his original position, and rubbed the head of Mi Li.

Chen Ping's footsteps were slow, walking in the corridor, the white-haired boy whose real name was Tian Tian had disappeared, he must have been hidden by Wu Shuangjiang.

Wu Shuangjiang smiled slightly, knowing this clearly, turned to Jiang Shangzhen and said, "No wonder you are willing to spend your money, your gambling skills and luck are so good."

Jiang Shangzhen carried a pot of moonlight wine brewed in his own Yunku blessed land, and was drinking with his head up, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Old Wu's immortal realm is high, so you can do whatever you say."

When Chen Pingan came back here to take a seat, Wu Shuangjiang tapped the teacup in his hand on the table lightly, and the three characters "I can't do it" in seal script at the bottom turned into golden light, spreading out like water and cloud patterns on the table in an instant. Chen Ping'an and his group were on the top floor of a stork tower, with only four pillars supporting the glazed roof of the algae well, and no doors or windows to obscure the view. In front of Chen Ping's body, there was still the green talisman hovering. Jiang Shangzhen stood leaning on the railing. Twist the wine pot with your fingers, shake it gently, the moonlight and the smell of wine are swayed out together, dissipating between heaven and earth.

Cui Dongshan jumped away and stood on the railing, his two big snow-white sleeves were blown by the wind and slowly fluttered.

Wu Shuangjiang walked slowly to the white jade railing on the other side, and there was a string of walking horses hanging under the eaves, moving in the wind, ding ding dong dong, swaying bursts of golden light, upon listening carefully, it was a woman's singing, graceful and beautiful.

Wu Shuangjiang put away the tea cup, put his hands behind his back, looked into the distance, and pointed to a mountain, pavilions, attics, palaces and palaces, built on the mountain, row upon row, "From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are a total of [-] mansions. , when I entered the Dongfu Realm, I had an idea that if I were to be the owner of the Sui Chu Palace in the future, the Sui Chu Palace would have [-] direct descendants of the patriarch hall, and the direct descendants would be collected and transferred to occupy the rest of the palace. One, everyone's realm is not low, everyone's morality is good. It's a pity that nothing has been done so far, the mansion is easy to build, and people are hard to find. Thoughts, if you dislike this, either the mansion is too small or the location is low, so they all become passers-by."

Wu Shuangjiang laughed: "The Sui Chu Palace was said to be a youth cave, so I just accepted it. It was just used to remind the monks of the Sui Chu Palace that the spirit of youth is the most precious thing, don't let the world wear it down."

I have been too diligent in my life practice, and I dare not slack off, so I often owe a debt of study.

Occasionally there is nothing to do on the mountain, burning incense and reading Yuxi poems, every time Wu Shuangjiang goes down the mountain to kill someone, he has to read the Suzi poems to cheer up.

Chen Pingan suddenly asked: "What's the real name of the shopkeeper of the Stork Inn in the Upside Down Mountain?"

Wu Shuangjiang said: "I won't mention my real name, otherwise Xiaobai will be very unhappy. As for the golden jade genealogy of my New Year's Eve Palace, his name is Bailuo, which means "Luoluo".

Chen Pingan was shocked in his heart, lowered his voice, and asked a question that seemed superfluous: "The ups and downs of the ups and downs?"

Wu Shuangjiang smiled and nodded, "Xiaobai is actually on the night sailing ship, but he is not in the entry city. He has been wandering around the city of Chuigong, probably to find trouble with that long-faced man. So you rejected Xiaobai's proposal at that time. Choose wisely, otherwise Feisheng City and the Fifth World will go to war. The sword repairs in Feisheng City may not be all bad things. Maybe within a hundred years, they will be as powerful as a broken bamboo. The religious forces are still not at a disadvantage. But if this is the case, the long-term layout of the Summer Palace, which is a long-term plan to help Feisheng City stand upright, may come to naught."

Chen Pingan was a little speechless, so that he couldn't help himself. In front of Ning Yao, he had to take out a jug of wine and take a swig to suppress his shock.

At that time, Chen Pingan didn't really think much about rejecting the innkeeper's deal. He just didn't want any troubles in Feisheng City. Risks are both opportunities and opportunities are also risks. This principle couldn't be simpler.Chen Ping'an couldn't believe that a young shopkeeper who had endured hundreds of years in the inverted mountain, and was also the guardian of the year-old palace, was completely ignorant.

Ning Yao had some guesses, but he was not sure, so he asked Chen Pingan with his eyes.

Chen Pingan nodded and said helplessly, "That's the person."

Randomly looking through the memory, the past is vivid in my mind. The small inn opened at the end of an alley in the inverted mountain. Chen Pingan clearly remembers that every time he went there to settle down, he saw the young man standing behind the counter, who seemed to be lazy, and young Every time the shopkeeper talked to Chen Pingan, he was all smiles, very kind and rich.

Wu Shuangjiang made it clear, "Xiaobai actually thought you were pleasing to the eye back then, so he helped you 'cover up' a piece of martial arts atmosphere, superimposed two by two, so on the other side of Huangliang Fudi, he directly scared the stupid one Oriole. Don't worry, there is no calculation in this matter. It is purely Xiaobai who thinks that he can't find the person he is looking for, and he can't earn much money. Life is too boring. Later, Xiaobai is very relieved that you became a hidden official Yes, on my side, he has a good eye for people."

Chen Ping took another sip of wine.

Mrs. Gui let herself stay at the Stork Inn?Did she already notice it?

In the vast world, there is a martial temple in the ancestral home of the soldiers of the Central Plains, and there are ten philosophers of the martial temple to accompany them.

But even Haoran's later generations of scholars have objections to this. They have objections to the deputy priests, and even more objections to the selection of at least half of the ten philosophers of the Wu Temple. They feel that they should not be selected at all. Everyone from the military family accompanied the sacrifice, adding 72 famous generals, divided into ten people in the hall and 62 people in the two halls, enjoying the incense together, which made many people in later generations disapprove, insisted on their own opinions, and quarreled fiercely.Especially during this period, there was a public case in which Confucian sages and sages in the Confucian Temple of China continued to suggest that they should be "those who have achieved flawless achievements", which made many famous generals who have made many military exploits but killed too much, or were demoted to the gods. , or be directly removed from the god position.This caused someone, one of the ten philosophers of the Wu Temple, to move his seat from the main hall to one of the two halls.

Originally, this person wanted to lose the qualification to accompany the two halls, but in the end it was rumored that there were two people in the Confucian Temple working hand in hand, so he rejected the proposal and took a compromise, withdrawing from the main hall, but staying in the two halls , only ranked among the fourth-class generals.

This still made the military monks of later generations fight against each other, saying that the so-called famous generals selected by the Confucian Temple had too many advisers, and they were only Wang Zuozhi's talents, but they were nothing. Yes, half of them are not worthy to lead a horse for that person, and the remaining half are ashamed to be among the top ten philosophers of the martial arts temple with that person.

What is the shopkeeper of the stork inn, what is the guardian of the palace, what is the little white in the dark world.

What a waste.

It's all for nothing!

As for how this person went to Qingming Tianxia, ​​and how he became Wu Shuangjiang's right-hand man, God knows again.

Chen Pingan was unwilling to ask more questions.

Wu Shuangjiang said: "A lot of people are self-confident, it is a last resort."

It is the conclusion of the previous fight.

Small worlds are stacked one after another, not only to be able to kill Wu Shuangjiang, but also to allow Wu Shuangjiang to use the fourteen realms of cultivation without worrying about being perceived by the Confucian Temple.

Wu Shuangjiang continued: "You should be very clear. In the end, I did not choose to burn everything together. It's not that I have no power to fight back. Otherwise, apart from Ning Yao, the three of you can kill people, but your respective paths are compromised, which is far from the case. Clicked."

Chen Pingan said: "'So much'?"

Not to mention that the tip of Taibai sword has almost separated from the body of Yeyou sword, and it would take time to re-refine it, and Chen Ping might have to smash it into a mountain of gold and silver, not to mention Chen Ping's current body The injury caused the small world to tremble thousands of miles away, and the number of times Chen Pingan needed to use ointment from Yang's medicine shop after fighting with others was extremely rare.Not to mention these things, Jiang Shangzhen's flying sword rank has fallen, and Cui Dongshan even lost a piece of skin left by a fairy. Dongshan's spells are mysterious, and a Qi trainer in the general fairyland would be half dead long ago, and it's hard to say whether he can keep the upper five realms.

Wu Shuangjiang smiled and said, "Don't worry about these things, I know the seriousness."

If Cui Dongshan can't break free from the shackles of this pair of skins, how can he enter the Ascension Realm?Wu Shuangjiang dared to assert that, as a half-embroidered tiger boy in white, he had been looking for a sword cultivator all these years, and he had to start at the Ascension Realm, and he had to be trustworthy, with extremely high sword skills, such as the same lineage as Wen Sheng Ah Liang who is close?The left and right of the same door?Only then can you feel at ease, let the opponent draw the sword and break the cage.

As for the falling of a willow leaf's flying sword, of course the loss is huge, but as long as Jiang Shangzhen enters the Ascension Realm, the two things will be resolved.

It's just that these well-known things are more spoiling the scenery if they are spoken out. Wu Shuangjiang didn't feel that doing business with these young people required him to sit back and pay back the money.

What's more, four people teamed up, one person shaped the porcelain figurine, and the three of them joined forces to cut fourteen realms. Even if Wu Shuangjiang was the one who was beheaded, he would find it very interesting.

It will make Wu Shuangjiang look forward to a hundred years from now.

It's just that I don't know that after a hundred years and a thousand years, young people have already ascended to the realm, so there are four ascensions, and three of them are sword cultivators?

Will someone in later generations mention this matter, so I will come up with such a sentence.

There was once a person named Wu Shuangsheng in the Palace of New Year's Eve who fought against Chen Pingan, Ning Yao, Jiang Shangzhen, Cui Dongshan all by himself?

nice.

Wu Shuangsheng laughed out loud, made an exception, took out a jug of wine, took a sip, and began to talk about some old anecdotes, "After having me in the palace of the year, it is very different. In less than a hundred years, it has risen very quickly. Knowing that I was in the Golden Core Realm at that time, I was already a sect accountant, the God of Wealth, and when I became a Nascent Soul, I also took on the post of Lv Zhang. The relationship is not small. But you should look through the secret file records, a Jindan Talisman cultivator, in the process of catching and fighting, beheaded a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator, and at the time of the Nascent Soul, he killed two Jade Realm, very I am boasting, not everyone can do it.”

"I am cautious by nature. Some accidents on the way of practice may seem dangerous, but they are nothing. But if I am like this, it does not mean that the people around me are also like this. So there was a woman who killed two people by mistake while she was going down the mountain. Qi practitioners, both of them are Daoist officials of the secular court. In the process of fighting, dozens of innocent ordinary people were harmed. The blame is on her head, which is not too much. So I have to go I went down the mountain and helped her get around, and I have already settled everything, and I have tracked down the people behind the scenes."

That woman is Wu Shuangjiang's Taoist companion on the mountain. In Sui Chu Palace, she is a woman with very ordinary cultivation aptitude and ordinary appearance.

It was a game set up by a monk on the mountain, and of course it was aimed at Wu Shuangjiang, a woman with mediocre looks and not very good cultivation aptitude, so it was not worth the people behind the scenes mobilizing so many people.

One hair can affect the whole body, and finally Wu Shuangjiang offended Bai Yujing's second head teacher, really invincible.Even those behind the scenes thought it was a big surprise.

At that time, Wu Shuangjiang was a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Dao Er Er, who has been in charge of Bai Yujing for 100 years, finally gave Wu Shuangjiang a choice, either to beat the Tiangu or be beaten to death by Yu Dou.

Either hand over the woman, according to the law, the soul will be scattered.You, Wu Shuangjiang, just need to stand by and watch, and you don't have to die.

Wu Shuangjiang suddenly mentioned a digression: "Our third head teacher has nothing to do, and he also set up a similar questioning situation for his junior brother, but in the subtleties of his Taoist heart, he never let his little senior brother Satisfied. Otherwise, that young man would have obtained a fairy fate at that time, and he could ascend to the sky in one step and enter the Jade Realm. If he can be better than you in his mood, and then do the same thing with you, it seems like he is asking for trouble. If you do some superfluous things, Lu Chen is willing to give him a high look."

Chen Pingan said, "Is that the Taoist named Shanqing?"

It is also one of the ten young people in several worlds.

Wu Shuangjiang picked up the jug with a smile, and pointed to the woman beside Chen Ping'an.

Ning Yao didn't say anything casually until this moment, "This man is not very honest. I cut him a few times and hid in seclusion for a few years."

Jiang Shangzhen, who had been pricking up his ears, eavesdropped so far, and immediately repeated the two words in a low voice, "Take care, take care."

Wu Shuangjiang leaned against the railing, took a sip, stopped drinking, squinted at the mountains and rivers in the distance, and smiled: "You know, before that happened, I was regarded as a young man. Underworld is the most Confucian sage monk, and I still hope to refine one or two natal characters, because I firmly believe that everything in the world can be clearly distinguished between right and wrong, right and wrong, and black and white."

The mountains and rivers are still there, but people are already passers-by.

That's why Wu Shuangjiang said that sentence before.

Everyone has a lake of letters in their hearts.

Maybe in Jiang Shangzhen's Shujian Lake, there will be a weak woman like a swell, slim and graceful, who lingers year after year.

It might be the ancestral hall of Shenzhuan Peak, which was once noisy and noisy, and became empty, no one cursed, and no one threw chairs.

Perhaps in Cui Dongshan’s heart, there will be a shy teacher who has a stomach full of knowledge and is still hungry. He will take the young man he met for the first time through the small streets and alleys where chickens are screaming and dogs are barking and cooking smoke is curling up.

It may be that in the school in the past, there was a high-spirited young scholar who was still teaching on behalf of the teacher a moment ago, and in a blink of an eye, the few people who were listening to the lectures had gone away and never looked back.

It may be an old sword fairy in Nanba Suozhou who traveled far away and returned to his hometown. Looking back in the Cao family's ancestral house in Niping Lane, he seemed to see a woman holding a broom.In the home on that rainy day, the small courtyard where the four waters return to the hall is a lake of scriptures, which directly taught an old sword fairy who had lived for thousands of years and had a heart of stone. Mother, silly mother.

A book lake, maybe just that unremarkable mass grave in the countryside. Once upon a time, there was a lively and lovely little girl who was a ghost but was most afraid of ghosts. A swordsman would not be so sad that he would pick up his heart, but just sit alone all night without daring to drink.

It may be a lonely accountant, scooping up water to wash his face by the lake.It may be that a certain teenager from earlier said that he was too young at a wine table on Yuanyou Road.

It may be a woman who travels far away with the city, like the moon in the sky, with tears on her face, looking at the city, a sweetheart who has lost her face, body and body, still seems to have that smile, and waved to her vigorously Farewell, so that the woman who obviously has a higher realm and better swordsmanship, don't worry, let alone feel guilty.

The first floor was silent.

Everyone has their own thoughts.

The confrontation between the two sides before seems to have changed from life and death to chatting and laughing, and it is even expected to make a deal and conclude a covenant, but in fact it is still tense, and the undercurrent is surging. The two sides will continue to divide life and death at any time. Whoever looks at each other with anger will die.

Wu Shuangjiang put away some thoughts, pointed to the cyan talisman, and said to Chen Pingan: "My fourteenth realm is a harmonious Taoist. As long as my Taoist and I are natural and not killed at the same time, neither of us will die. As for Among them, how much is the loss of the Dao, and my method of realm restoration is too involved in the fundamentals of the Dao, so I won’t tell you clearly. Regarding today’s exchange, I will make up for the loss of the few of you one by one, such as this The Zhangshang Corpse Unraveling Talisman, in addition to turning an earth immortal who has no hope of going to the five realms into a ghost fairy, can also enter the Jade Realm. After that, whether to shape a golden body and turn to be a mountain god, from the broken You can change the first path, change the path and continue climbing, you can do whatever you want. Moreover, the value of this talisman lies in the material of the talisman paper itself. This is compensation for your physical injury."

Only then did Chen Ping beckon and put the talisman into his sleeve.

Wu Shuangjiang continued: "Jiang Shangzhen and Mr. Cui, the reason why they were able to appear suddenly is because of the Sanshan Talisman. There is no problem with the method of drawing the Talisman, but unfortunately it is still the problem. The material of the Talisman is too bad to carry it. There are too many Taoist intentions, so the benefit of traveling in the three mountains to the souls of the three of you is really too small."

Wu Shuangjiang took out four more "Jiangzhen Green Scrolls" that were not easy to see in the White Jade Capital, waved his sleeves lightly, and threw them to Jiang Shangzhen and Cui Dongshan.

In Haoran Tianxia, ​​all the lower sects of the Baiyujing Sanmai Daomen, such as Shengaozong in Baopingzhou and Taipingshan in Tongyezhou, will burn this talisman every time someone ascends to Tianjun. Teach the patriarch.Its preciousness is evident.

Wu Shuangjiang caught a glimpse of Chen Pingan's face and said with a smile, "That's all."

Chen Pingan chuckled, cheating ghosts.There are not many great monks in the Fourteenth Realm who are so uncomfortable in searching.

"I really only have these five on me, but there are three more in the Patriarch Hall of Sui Chu Gong, why don't you go and get them with me?"

Wu Shuangjiang smiled slightly, saw through Chen Ping'an's mind, and joked: "Anyway, you and Daoist Sun are friends for years. Maybe our third head teacher Bai Yujing saw you and wanted to catch up with you. We traveled far together in the early years Xuanduguan, he has nagged you a lot along the way. With such two friends, let alone my expulsion of the palace at that age, there is nowhere in the Qingming world."

Chen Pingan asked, "Is Daoist Sun alright?"

Wu Shuangjiang nodded and said, "Very lively."

Wu Shuangjiang seemed to remember something, shook his sleeves, and in an instant, two treasures appeared, a scabbard, and the green bamboo stick with the "Xingqi Ming", and threw them to Jiang Shangzhen and Cui Dongshan again, "The scabbard is the dragon-slaying sword." It is made by refinement, and the scabbard is a talisman formation. I have removed all 36 restrictions, and I can just warm up that piece of willow leaf. I can’t improve the rank of the flying sword, so I wish Jiang Zongzhu to ascend to the ascension border."

"This trekking stick is given to Mr. Cui as a meeting gift. Among them

Mr. Cui can figure out all kinds of magical effects by himself. "

Cui Dongshan took the green bamboo stick, Jiang Shangzhen held the scabbard, the two looked at each other and smiled, they were really going to kill Wu Shuangjiang earlier, didn't our brothers get mad, and became so rich and lawless from then on? !

Wu Shuangjiang said to Ning Yao again: "After returning to my hometown, I will issue a decree to the disciples in the fifth world, asking them to serve Feisheng City once, regardless of life or death."

After all, it is the youth den.

Such an ally is unique in the world.

Ning Yao thanked him.

Wu Shuangjiang said: "Tranquility was a guest at the Great Wall of Sword Qi, and I met three people in succession in your state of mind. The first of them was the person who did business with me. If I were replaced by someone else, I couldn't take Tianran away. Even if I did, It's too much of a trace. So at the Great Wall of Sword Qi, I naturally saw him and said that I want to learn Taoism with her, of course I will be scared to death, she has always been timid."

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "It's Daoist Sun's younger brother."

The wooden house of the Five Elements and the statue of the middle-aged Taoist are carved from an ancestral peach tree in the Daxuandu Temple, and the root of the Wuyue Mountain in Chen Pingan is made of refined Taoist green bricks. See the roots of the Sword Immortal lineage.

This middle-aged traveler with the face of a Taoist is the younger brother of Sun Huaizhong, the master of the Daxuandu Temple, and the master of the "one man through the ages" Song Maolu.

"It seems that she also met a depressed person, wearing straw sandals and hanging a hatchet, walking around all the time."

Wu Shuangjiang suddenly conjured up a whisk, drew a circle with the whisk, then made a fist with one hand, and said with a smile: "The study is just empty straw sandals, I don't know what you are looking for."

Chen Pingan was slightly surprised, but still said straightforwardly: "Isn't it just to find a place to settle down, not to mention walking where there are no waste straw sandals."

Wu Shuangjiang and Chen Pingan handed over the whisk, and said with a smile: "I am in my hometown, and I have visited the Venerable Residence with Lu Chen, but I can only be regarded as having a little knowledge of Buddhism. I hope you will study Zen sincerely in the future, and don't run away from Zen."

After Chen Pingan took the whisk, he tilted his shoulders and almost failed to catch the whisk which was fluttering in Wu Shuangjiang's hand.

Wu Shuangjiang asked suddenly: "The top ten disciples of the Buddha each have their own number one. May I ask what the Venerable Rahula, who is the number one in the esoteric practice, is number one?"

Chen Pingan didn't deliberately play the game, and answered truthfully: "I saw this Buddhist koan in the book for the first time, and I don't know why the monk answered 'I don't know'. Later, after asking a monk on the cliff, , to know the answer."

Since it is a secret practice, how can others answer this question?Of course I don't know.

The book breaks down the truth, it seems very simple.It's a pity that life has its own crux, and it's too difficult to know what you don't know.

Wu Shuangjiang asked again and again: "What is the Seamless Pagoda, and what are the people in the Pagoda? How is it to fight kudzu to go, and how is it to go back to the west? How to seize the land and how to seize people? Why did the old monk drink suddenly? The monk was stunned, so he was the so-called Junjiazi? Why did he sing about the pony? Why did he keep his voice low, and why did he keep his mouth shut? Is it the original face? Why is there a fixed and chaotic sword in the vertical stick, but there is no white map when the stick is placed? And what is a stranger's sword or a living knife? Clear? What are the three mysteries and the three essentials? How can you break the tongue of an old monk in the world? How can it be an upward thing?!"

Chen Pingan sighed, and answered truthfully: "It's all recorded in the book. If I just recite it, I can give more than [-] answers to these questions."

On the way to travel far away, he kept reading. Just asking "how is the meaning of the patriarch's coming to the west", Chen Pingan memorized them one by one, and compiled nearly a hundred answers.

For example, out of a hundred allusions, some people may know ninety of them, but they dare not say they know them.But some people only know three or two, and they already feel that they know everything.

Wu Shuangjiang finally asked with a smile: "Then what is a state of desperation? What is a family style of desperation? You should know this in your own mountains, right?"

Chen Pingan hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Walk barefoot first. At the same time, mend the straw sandals, wear them yourself, and are willing to give them to passers-by. Others don't want to accept them, and we don't force them. After all, it really matters. Everyone has already put on their own shoes. "

Wu Shuangjiang shook his head, as if he was very dissatisfied, "First? The meaning is completely meaningless. It's just that I was worried that you would run away from Zen."

Ning Yao rested her chin on the railing with one hand, she just looked at Chen Pingan quietly.

I didn't think he was at a disadvantage in the question and answer with Wu Shuangjiang.How old is this Wu Shuangjiang now? How does Chen Ping compare.

Cui Dongshan sat on the railing. The surrounding area of ​​the "Youth Cave" is surrounded by beautiful rivers and mountains, and the scenery is magnificent. It makes people sigh: "Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and the moon move like a young man."

Jiang Shangzhen leaned on the railing, nodded and said: "What's more, the young man rides a white horse through the gap, and he doesn't feel gray."

Wu Shuangjiang asked with a smile: "I'm only curious about one thing now, why are you naturally close to Buddhism?"

Chen Pingan said: "In my hometown town, there are four plaques on the archway. When I was a child, I heard people say the content, and I felt that there was only the principle of 'don't ask outside'. I understand it, I can barely do it, and it is useful if I do it."

Wu Shuangjiang smiled and activated his supernatural powers. In the next moment, only he and Chen Pingan left the Guanque Tower and arrived at Sui Chu Gong Patriarch Hall on the top of the mountain.

This is the first time Wu Shuangjiang showed a solemn expression, took out a talisman, and said seriously: "If, even if you are in Haoran Tianxia, ​​you can't protect Tianran, and two people are killed by swords at the same time, then you will treat her Use this symbol."

Chen Pingan nodded, "I agree."

Wu Shuangjiang asked suspiciously, "Why don't you ask me why you are not worried about using this talisman on others?"

It was the Taixuan Qingsheng Talisman made by Daozu himself.

Chen Pingan said: "There are some things that only I can do, others can't do it, seniors can rest assured."

Wu Shuangjiang nodded with a smile, and asked Chen Pingan to put away the talisman, "You are willing to take on such a big trouble, it seems that you have a lot of resentment towards the Baiyujing Immortal."

Chen Pingan said: "In Bai Yujing, there are actually seniors that I admire very much."

Wu Shuangjiang clasped his hands behind his back, looked at the wind and clouds outside the mountain, and then pointed to a large rock in the heart of the river near the Guanque Tower, "The Xielong Stone over there, as long as you are a guest in Qingming Tianxia, ​​and you still have the ability to return home, You can move."

Chen Pingan looked at the Xielongshi, and glanced at the Guanque Tower out of the corner of his eye.

Wu Shuangjiang clicked his tongue and said in amazement: "Lu Chen didn't make a mistake, he really looks like me, and the thief doesn't leave empty space."

Wu Shuangjiang said suddenly: "Xiaobai was at the Changping Pavilion, had a good chat with the city lord of Chuigong City, and then made an appointment to beat up a man named Gao Xi, and seemed to invite a man named Liang Zhouhan to drink. I don’t know much about your Haoran’s history, so what’s the background of these two people?”

Chen Pingan thought for a while and said: "Here in Haoran Tianxia, ​​the candidates for the Wu Temple and the major dynasties can select according to their own discretion. Apart from flattering the monarch, Gao Xi also followed the trend of the Confucian Temple. He and several colleagues decided on the candidates for the Wu Temple. Those who have always been flawless in their achievements. Liang Zhouhan felt that this was inappropriate, that there were no perfect sages in the world, and felt that it was too harsh on the ancients, which seemed unreasonable. This must be a pardonable statement, but it was a pity that it was not adopted by the emperor at that time. "

Wu Shuangjiang nodded and said: "If you point to a flawed hero, no one will be tired. It is indeed a scholar's pardonable words."

Chen Ping was a little helpless, since the seniors knew about it, why did they ask about the hammer?

Wu Shuangjiang glanced at the long sword on Chen Ping'an's back, and said, "If you don't worry, I'll refine it for you. Before I leave Haoran Tianxia, ​​I will undo those natural restrictions. When the time comes, her combat power will It’s not like an ordinary Ascension Realm can match. In the future, if you encounter some minor accidents on the way of cultivation, you can temporarily lend her the long sword.”

In the fight between the monks on the top of the mountain, in fact, there are only two things in the real competition, the highest killing power of the magic technique or flying sword, and the level of escape ability.

This is also the reason why Wu Shuangjiang refined four imitation swords.

Moreover, Wu Shuangjiang's ability to suppress the bottom of the box still has a few things.

Chen Pingan clasped his fists to express his thanks, saying "Senior", very sincerely.

Wu Shuangjiang asked, "What's the name of the long sword on your back?"

Chen Pingan said: "Night excursion."

Wu Shuangjiang nodded and said, "Good name."

After a moment of silence, Wu Shuangjiang smiled and asked, "Then come back?"

Chen Pingan had no objection.

Xiaotiandi dissipated, and everyone returned to the inn together.

Chen Pingan and the three of them nodded, indicating that it was all right.

Jiang Shangzhen asked: "That aunt in Zhengyang Mountain, can't just let her slip away after staring at her for a long time?"

Cui Dongshan smiled and said, "Then go back quickly?"

Chen Pingan said: "Thank you for your hard work."

As a result, a chief priest beat his chest, and a proud student stomped his feet, both of them were sad.

Then the two laughed, raised their hands and clapped their hands, applauding each other for their tacit understanding.

The two of them were about to twist out a mountain talisman, and use it to return to a secluded hilltop around Zhengyang Mountain.

Chen Ping coughed as a reminder.

Cui Dongshan immediately understood, and looked pitifully at that old fairy Wu.

Jiang Shangzhen's method of drawing talismans is very ghostly, not even as good as Shanzhu.

As for Cui Dongshan and Chen Ping'an, they really didn't have much mental strength to draw these three mountain talismans.

Wu Shuangjiang smiled and said, "Then Mr. Lao Cui first draws the three mountains in his heart?"

Cui Dongshan's chick pecked at the rice and nodded vigorously.

The boy in white didn't make any movement, Wu Shuangjiang just smiled and didn't speak, took out the teacup again, and began to drink tea leisurely, you three are in no hurry, I'm an outsider, what's the hurry.

Chen Ping'an was even more motionless.

What about the pen and cinnabar?What about talismans?

It seems that the whole house is full of paupers, and there is nothing.

Cui Dongshan stretched out his hand to cover his heart, coughing endlessly.

Jiang Shangzhen held the snow-white temples with one hand.

Older gingers are more spicy.

Chen Ping turned around and asked Ning Yao if he wanted to drink, Ning Yao said yes, pick a pot, not the sweet-scented osmanthus brew, but another one.Chen Pingan said no problem, no problem, but there are too many types of drinks, don't worry...

Wu Shuangjiang laughed and said, "A thief's boat, what a thief's den."

After finishing speaking, Wu Shuangjiang shook his head, put down the teacup with a little helplessness, and took out a pen and a talisman.What the hell is another "green" talisman...

Seeing Chen Ping'an's eyes widening, good guy, he is indeed a senior who can chat with Daoist Sun!

Chen Pingan stood up quickly, slapped the green talisman first, then took out an ordinary talisman, and threw it to Cui Dongshan.Cui Dongshan took the precious talisman from Mr. Wu, then stood up, bowed his head, stretched out his hands, respectfully and hurriedly took the fairy brush with the inscription "Born Flower" from the hand of Old Immortal Wu.

On the yellow paper talisman, Cui Dongshan drew the appearance of the three mountains, and then vigorously shook the "Shenghua" brush in his hand, as if the brush under the mountain was not enough ink, and the brush would not be dry.

Jiang Shangzhen complained to Brother Cui, and hurriedly gave Old Immortal Wu a brush from his own collection.

Suddenly, the three of them froze on the spot almost at the same time. Cui Dongshan glanced at the brush in his hand, then looked up at Mr. Chen Pingan, looked at Cui Dongshan, and looked down at the green talisman paper in his hand.

Wu Shuangjiang took the three-mountain talisman made of yellow paper, held the writing brush Jiang Shangzhen handed over, and said with a smile, "Mr. Cui and Sect Master Jiang, don't they need my help to draw the talisman?"

Wu Shuangjiang raised his hand and ticked it off, "Two."

Jiang Shangzhen and Cui Dongshan each obediently handed over a piece of green talisman paper that hadn't been warmed up yet. Wu Shuangjiang put the brush in his sleeve and beckoned again.

Cui Dongshan had no choice but to hand over the "Shenghua" pen. He never thought that after Wu Shuangjiang took the pen, he put the two green and green talismans on the table into his sleeves, and waved to Chen Ping'an.

Obviously, the talisman that Chen Ping took as a security had to be returned to Wu Shuangjiang.

Chen Ping said helplessly: "Senior, isn't this too much?"

Wu Shuangjiang said: "Whoever is in a higher realm says what is what, who said it before?"

Jiang Shangzhen watched his nose and heart carefully.

The three of them stole chickens without losing a lot of rice, and they even put in a piece of green talisman, which seemed to be two pieces to be precise.

Cui Dongshan bit the bullet and said: "Sir, you should keep that one. Chief Zhou and I still have one."

Jiang Shangzhen slapped his forehead, and Cui Dongshan got an elbow.

Wu Shuangjiang smiled, waved his hands, took out two green talismans again, held the "Shenghua" pen, concentrated slightly, and finished drawing two Sanshan talismans in one go, and gave them to Jiang Shangzhen and Cui Dongshan, and finally returned the "Shenghua" pen Throwing it to the white-clothed boy, he said, "I also wish Mr. Cui's brilliant writing will flourish and he will write more immortal poems."

How to do business with people is one thing, but giving gifts in a good mood is another.

Chen Pingan was full of emotion, learned, learned.

Cui Dongshan and Jiang Shangzhen twisted their talismans, and they were about to leave the night boat and return to the land of Aquarius Island.

Chen Ping stood up, walked to them, pressed Cui Dongshan's head with one hand, then suddenly hugged Jiang Shangzhen, and lightly punched Jiang Shangzhen on the back.

There is not much to talk about with Cui Dongshan, Jiang Shangzhen, and Chen Pingan.

Jiang Shangzhen had an unprecedented expression of embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, hugged Chen Pingan,

It's like I've never hugged a man in my life.

Even the eldest son, Jiang Heng, didn't seem to be treated well when he was a baby. He was never hugged as a father.

Chen Ping took two steps back and said with a smile, "Everything goes smoothly."

Jiang Shangzhen suddenly wanted to speak but stopped.

Chen Pingan was a little puzzled.

Jiang Shangzhen lowered his voice and said: "I heard that there is a city of consonance here. I have admired the woman of the city owner for a long time. If possible, please ask the mountain master to send me a word. You can say anything. The mountain master speaks the most decently."

Chen Ping's head grew dizzy when he heard that, he looked a bit embarrassed, and turned his head to look at Ning Yao.

Ning Yao said: "You are not afraid of the slanting shadow, and you have to feel guilty about this kind of thing? How many 300 taels have you hidden on the river and lake road?"

Chen Ping looked away, smiled at Jiang Shangzhen, and expressed his sincere thanks.

Jiang Shangzhen tentatively asked: "Then... don't tell me?"

Wu Shuangjiang sat over there drinking tea and watching the excitement, and felt that this Jiang Zongzhu was really a wonderful person, and he hit it off very well.

Cui Dongshan quickly helped to change the subject, and said: "Sir, if you have to go to the city of sensuality and meet an old gentleman who is swinging his legs, climbing a ladder with a lamp to write a list, and finally scared to death all night, he must help the students and He said, his handwriting is really good, and future generations should not be banned from writing list books."

Chen Pingan knew who Cui Dongshan was talking about, so he agreed without hesitation.

Jiang Shangzhen twisted the talisman and said with a smile: "The master of the mountain has sent a message, let's go."

Cui Dongshan took out the green bamboo stick "Xing Qi Ming", lightly pushed it on the ground, and said with a big smile, "Take care, sir, students go."

The boy in white and the scholar in green shirt disappeared in a flash.

Wu Shuangjiang turned his head to look out the window, and said with a smile, "It's almost dawn."

Wu Shuangjiang turned her head, stood up and said, "Then we won't delay your chat? I still have to look at the counter."

Chen Pingan asked: "When will the seniors leave the ferry and return to the Palace of New Year's Eve?"

Wu Shuangjiang said with a smile: "It depends on your mood. Maybe even if you leave the night cruise ship, you will go to the wild world first."

After Wu Shuangjiang left, Chen Pingan and Ning Yao went to Pei Qian's room. Xiaomi Li was still sleeping soundly. Covering the little girl's nose and mouth, Xiaomi Mi frowned slightly, dazedly, and slapped Pei Qian's palm away. Seemingly she could sleep a little longer, Pei Qian had no choice but to say, "Xiaomi, patrolling the mountains!"

Xiaomi Li immediately jumped up, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and shouted: "Okay, okay!"

Then I saw the good Shanzhu, Shanzhu's wife, and Pei Qian with a smirk.The little girl in black put her hands to her mouth and laughed loudly, Pei Qian really didn't lie, as soon as she woke up, she saw everyone.

Ning Yao said to Chen Pingan, who looked tired: "Go to sleep first, and I will chat with Pei Qian and Xiaomi for a while."

Chen Pingan nodded, and fell asleep on the table.

As for whether Xiao Mi Li would say anything, I really don't care, anyway, I am not afraid of the shadow.

At the entrance of the inn, Wu Shuangjiang, who still had the face of a young guy, sat on the bench, crossed his legs, closed his eyes, shook his head, pulled up the erhu, occasionally opened his eyes, smiled softly, and squinted, as if there was someone beside him. A woman with a pipa in her arms is sitting on the side, and she sings harmony with the sound of the pipa and the erhu, wishing that all lovers in the world will finally get married.

Chen Pingan quickly rubbed the center of his brows, and came to his senses, the sound of the erhu was really noisy.

Ning Yao took Pei Qian and Xiaomi back to his room, Chen Pingan deliberately blocked the sound of the erhu, took off his boots, went to sit cross-legged on the bed, began breathing, and immersed himself in it.

When Chen Ping woke up, he found that it was already dusk. Fortunately, there was no sound of the erhu. Chen Ping put on his boots, walked to the hotel lobby, and found that the three of Ning and Yao were there, and that Wu Shuangjiang was spreading A book, stop playing the erhu, and start to be the storyteller. The three of Ningyao are eating melon seeds, and there is a plate of dried fish on the table, and they will be the audience.

Chen Ping just stood where he was, and after listening for a while, he began to break out in cold sweat. Wu Shuangjiang asked what was in the book.There is also the gorgeous ghost and fox charm that I met in the mountains, and asked the young man with a charming smile, what do you want to do if you don't play tricks while taking advantage of this beautiful scenery?

Hearing this, Xiaomi Mili frowned, and asked Pei Qian what he meant and what he was doing, Pei Qian said he didn't know, Ning Yao squinted at someone, and smiled and said that he could ask the person involved.

Chen Pingan laughed out loud, striding forward with great vigor, "Pei Qian, Xiao Mili, go and order peanuts, edamame, and cucumbers so I can have a drink with Uncle Wu."

"I don't drink."

Wu Shuangjiang closed the book, many of the pages had folded corners, there were reminders like "Take advantage of this beautiful scenery to have a good night".

Wu Shuangjiang left, leaned against the door and stood there, but left the book of landscape travel on the table.After Chen Ping took his seat, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, not knowing that he was here to join in the excitement of hammering.

Wu Shuangjiang smiled and turned to glance at the table.

Back then, my own sect was once so lively.

Chen Ping found an excuse casually, came to the gate, and became the gatekeeper with Wu Shuangjiang.

Both of them had their arms around their sleeves.

From the looks of others, it really looks alike.

Wu Shuangjiang said softly: "If I'm not mistaken, you will soon need to visit the Confucian Temple of China, and it is very likely that you will be in the form of a yin god traveling far away. At that time, you will have dual identities at the same time. Standing among a large group of people on the top of Haoran Mountain, the closed disciples of the Wensheng lineage, the hidden officials of the Sword Qi Great Wall."

Chen Pingan thought for a moment, "Is it to discuss how to deal with the wild world?"

Wu Shuangjiang nodded, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, what else could it be? It's a bit like the riverside discussion ten thousand years ago. If there are no accidents, you will still be the youngest person."

I don't know if the most holy teacher and Li Sheng will show up.

But there will definitely be Yasheng, Wensheng, the principal and deputy of the Confucian Temple, the old master Fu Sheng, the three university palace sacrifices, the head of the 72 academy, and so on.

Talisman Yuxuan, Great Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, Zheng Juzhong of Baidicheng, Pei Bei, Huolong Zhenren, Mrs. Qingzhong of Lushuikeng, Liu Jubao of Aiaiazhou, Huaiyin, Yu Panshui, etc.

There may also be the God of Suishan who rarely shows up, Mrs. Qingshenshan and so on.And the ancestors of various schools of thought.

Because the result of this discussion will determine the future trend of the two worlds.

Wu Shuangjiang tilted his head back and leaned against the gate, "There are rules and regulations, so he is called a national scholar."

Chen Pingan said: "I dare not do it."

Wu Shuangjiang smiled and said: "It's about myself, it's about the sect that I built with my own hands, the green mountains and green waters, and the youth cave."

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "It's the same as Daoist Sun's view of Xuandu, which is fascinating."

Wu Shuangjiang laughed and said, "It would be better if the first half of the sentence was removed."

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "We are in Luopo Mountain, walking in the rivers and lakes, our family style is very upright, and the word is honest."

Wu Shuangjiang rubbed his chin, "When I got rid of the palace at the age of [-], it seems that this is the only thing I can't compare to your Lost Mountain."

Chen Pingan didn't talk.

The source of Luoba Mountain's ethos has always been a bit of a mystery, just like how many melon seeds Zhou Mili put in his pocket every day.

The owner of the mountain said it was given by a certain proud student, Cui Dongshan swore that it was the contribution of the elder sister, and Pei Qian said it was the knowledge learned at the old cook's dinner table. She just listened to it a few times and learned a little.Zhu Lian said that it was the unhealthy trend that spread from Piyun Mountain, and it couldn't be stopped. Wei Bo said that he had benefited a lot from playing chess with Brother Dafeng.

Poor Zheng Dafeng, who has worked hard to watch the door for many years, is now in the fifth world, and has no chance to refute anything.

Wu Shuangjiang said to himself: "If you throw an egg into a stone, if you throw all the eggs in the world, the stone will remain intact and cannot be destroyed."

Chen Ping said: "I don't think so."

Wu Shuangjiang nodded and said: "Sincere sincerity is as good as gold and stone, and you have to believe it."

He asked again: "Do you know which sage saying of your Confucianism I like the most?"

Chen Pingan tentatively said: "Repay kindness with kindness, and repay grievances with straightness?"

Wu Shuangjiang clicked his tongue and said, "How did you grow your brain? You can guess all of this?"

On the table in the house, Xiaomi Li put his hands on the table and shouted loudly: "Shanzhu, Mr. Wu, the dried fish is almost gone."

Wu Shuangjiang turned her head and said with a smile, "It's okay, my share is yours."

Chen Ping also smiled and nodded in agreement.

Millet pursed her lips vigorously before nodding, raised her hands, and gave two thumbs up. I don't know if it's a thank you, or a question of what to say, Xiaoxiaoyugan, it doesn't matter.

Wu Shuangjiang sighed suddenly: "The family is happy."

Chen Pingan answered softly, "It's New Year's Eve."
