(It’s on the shelves. This chapter is 1985 words. ps: Welcome to pay attention to the WeChat public account: fenghuo[-])
Chen Ping'an looked around for the first time, and didn't see anything unusual, so he took the little girl's hand and said softly, "Let's talk elsewhere."
Chen Pingan thought about it, the stream was quiet, and it was easy to hide from people's eyes, but since he noticed that there was dirt in the stream, he didn't go into the water easily.
After the little girl in the red cotton jacket said this sentence in a hurry, she immediately regretted it, because Chen Ping'an stood beside Chen Ping'an, an outsider, Sister Ruan with a ponytail in Tsing Yi. Xiu had met once, and there were also the pair of golden boys and girls from Taoism present. One was raising two big fish with green and red tails, and the other was leading a snow-white elk. They were related to the family where the little girl belonged.At this moment, Ruan Xiu, of course, doesn't look like a bad person, but what the little girl is most afraid of now is precisely this kind of person, half-baked relationship, she looks very kind, and in the end she doesn't hand out the knife, and the people close to her are already was stabbed to death.
In the beginning, Mr. Ma and the man surnamed Cui walked all the way, citing the scriptures and talking about it, singing poetry and singing to wine. In Li Huai's words, this man surnamed Cui was either the illegitimate son of the old man Ma, or his grandson, otherwise the relationship Not so good.No one thought that the high-spirited Mr. Ma would die in the hands of the righteous gentleman who moved the world. According to Mr. Ma's earliest statement, among all the Confucian gentlemen and sages in Dongbao Pingzhou, there are two people who are exceptionally outstanding and are known as "Mr. Da Xiaojun", Mr. Cui is the famous "Little Lord Guanhu".Before the accident happened, almost everyone had an excellent impression of Cui Minghuang. He was gentle, elegant, and extremely knowledgeable. He seemed to know everything, and he could answer anything when asked.Only Lin Shouyi didn't like Cui Minghuang at first, but Lin Shouyi, who was born in a big gate in Taoye Lane, seems to be born with the cold expression that you owe me several million taels, because he and the other four Mengtong The relationship between them was estranged, so Lin Shou and Cui Junzi had many times of ridicule and sarcasm. No one understood it, but Lin Shouyi was jealous that Cui Minghuang was more handsome than him.
Although Ruan Xiu didn't understand why the little girl looked unkind to her, she still suggested: "Or go to our newly built sword casting room?"
The little girl who was already in trouble, clenched Chen Ping'an's hand tightly, shook her head vigorously, her eyes full of pleading: "Chen Ping'an, let's not go to places with many strangers, okay?"
Chen Ping'an gently shook Li Baoping's little hand and said softly, "Trust me, the sword casting room in the blacksmith's shop is the safest place."
The little girl looked up at Chen Pingan's eyes, like the stream she saw when she walked alone to the water for the first time when she was young. Never grow up.At this time, the little girl who was in danger of life and death, was filled with grievances inexplicably, and cried again, sobbing: "Chen Pingan, you are not allowed to lie to me!"
Chen Ping'an's eyes were firm and he said, "I won't lie to you!"
Ruan Xiu brought one big and one small to the sword casting room, took out the key and opened the door, she stood there and smiled softly: "I will not go in, let you watch the wind outside, even if my father comes, you are not allowed to He's in."
Chen Pingan was a little embarrassed, and explained in a low voice: "Can you bring her something to eat and drink? I guess when she is less nervous, she will lose her energy at once. It is better to fill her stomach than anything else." , I used to do that a lot when I was little."
Ruan Xiu nodded vigorously and turned slightly to the side, only to see that she flipped her wrist, and she didn't know where she made a small silk bag and handed it to Chen Ping'an, "The five new peach blossom cakes made by the New Year's shop, take them first. Go get a pot of water and tell her not to eat too fast and not to choke."
Chen Pingan and Li Baoping sat opposite each other, each sitting on a small bench. Although the little girl took the peach blossom cake, there was no sign of eating it.
Chen Ping'an said softly, "What's going on, let's talk about it."
Li Baoping speaks very slowly, and seems very contradictory to her character who is always eager to do anything.However, the little girl spoke slowly, just enough to allow Chen Ping'an to take a look at his thoughts and put himself in his shoes to think about the problem.Before the death of the old Mr. Ma in the school, the five Mengtong traveled to study on the way out of their hometown. The journey was smooth and smooth. The ox cart and two carriages traveled hundreds of miles. Mr. Cui Minghuang, who was in the family, talked very happily, and became the best friend of the new year, but one day, when Mr. Ma was checking their homework, he suddenly said that he was going to talk to Mr. Cui about the itinerary. It is possible that the two sides will part ways and never let it go. After all no party last forever.
But the children waited for a long time and did not see Mr. Ma and Cui Minghuang returning, so Li Baoping and Li Huai ran to find someone, but Li Huai was the first to find Mr. Ma who was in the blood, let alone hands and feet. The old man's injuries were so severe that blood was dripping from his eyes and ears. He felt that the old man's body was like a bamboo basket lifted from a stream, and all the water had leaked.The dying Mr. Ma asked Li Huai to only bring Li Baoping to his side. After Li Baoping came to him, the old man just grabbed her hand. It was a return to light, maybe it was a desperate effort, and finally, intermittently, he briefly explained the funeral to Li Baoping.
When it came to this, the little girl in the red cotton jacket was already weeping, crying into tears.
Chen Ping'an was not the type to comfort others, so he had to move the stool closer to the little girl silently, stretched out his hand to wipe her tears, and repeated, "Don't cry, don't cry..."
The little girl sniffed hard, and continued: "Mr. Ma grabbed my hand and told me that I must find you alone, and that you should be careful of the people in Guanhu Academy and Dali Capital, don't believe anyone! "
Chen Ping'an's face was solemn, and he asked, "Where are Shi Chunjia and the others?"
Li Baoping, whose face was full of tears, suddenly grinned, and said, "The four of them are taking that foreigner's coachman around Niping Lane. Lin Shouyi thinks that coachman is not a good person, and he might be the same as Cui." People, the partnership killed Mr. Ma. After we found a place to bury Mr. Ma, the coachman said that it was impossible to go to the cliff academy, because Mr. Ma and Mr. Cui just got the news that the academy where Mr. Qi was the owner of the mountain had been resigned. Li moved to the enemy country Dasui, and now there is no Mr. Ma to lead the way. Before the Dasui, all of us will be killed by the frontier army under the name of collaborating with the enemy and treason when we reach the border of Dali. In the end, he didn’t tell us what to do, whether to go back to the small town school to wait for the next teacher, or go to Tai Sui to continue to study at the Shanya Academy. Mr. Ma also told us. So we had to follow the coachman back here, but the coachman again It is said that the elder families of all of us have moved to the capital of Dali. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the small town and ask someone. Once you ask, you will know that he is telling the truth, because the Dali government asked every family to stay. small town."
Ruan Xiu took a pot of water and knocked on the door and walked into the sword casting room, Li Baoping immediately kept silent.
After Ruan Xiu left, she did not forget to close the door.
The little girl waited until the door was closed, and then continued: "The driver was very strange and deliberately asked us, who knew a young man named Chen Pingan who lived in a place called Mud Bottle Alley. He said that he would help Mr. Tell you. I didn't speak at the time."
Chen Ping'an nodded: "That's right. Fill your stomach first."
Li Baoping devoured three pieces of cakes in succession, took a sip of water, wiped his face with the back of his hand, and said quickly, "Then the five of us looked for opportunities to get together, and we always felt that it was absolutely impossible to wait and die, so I came up with the idea. One way, the day before returning to the town, Shi Chunjia began to pretend to be sick, and I had to take care of her all the time. Then I told Li Huai the distribution of the alleys in the Niping Alley in private, and asked him to admit that he had known him for a long time. You, the reason is that his father, Li Er, worked as a clerk in the Yang family shop. There used to be a boy named Chen in Mud Bottle Lane, who often went to the shop to sell herbs, but when the driver asked about it, he didn't think of it at all."
Chen Pingan was a little puzzled.
Li Baoping explained: "I often see you going up the mountain to collect herbs by yourself in the stream in the small town, or when you go down the mountain, you carry a large basket of herbs on your back."
Chen Ping'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and his eyes signaled that he understood.
Chen Ping'an was a little scared at the same time, and said solemnly: "It's actually very dangerous for you to do this."
The little girl nodded and said, "Yes. So before the five of us discussed this matter, I made it clear to them. Lin Shouyi said that Li Baoping's life was the most valuable, and he was not afraid of death. He was just an annoying bastard. , it doesn't matter. Shi Chunjia is rather stupid, and he said he would listen to me anyway. Li Huai said what he was afraid of, people were dying, and if something happened to him, although his father Li Er was very naive and had no ability, he My mother will definitely avenge him. Dong Shuijing is the most succinct, saying that he is very strong, and if things come to light, let the four of us run first, and he will fight the driver desperately."
"But I don't think it's that dangerous. If the driver really wants to kill us, don't delay to the town. He must be plotting something. Guess one of the real purposes of the culprit behind the scenes must have something to do with you."
Li Baoping ate the last two peach blossom cakes and took a deep breath, "After we finally got to Xinghua Lane in the town, I asked Dong Shuijing and Li Huai to take the driver out of the car, saying that they could take a shortcut to the muddy ground. Pingxiang, in fact, Li Huai was going to take him around in a big circle. As soon as I waited for them to leave, I immediately ran out of the car and went to Nipingxiang to find you. As a result, the gate of your house was locked. Fortunately, there was a Neighbors passed by, and when I asked, I found out that you were an apprentice in a blacksmith shop, and I was really anxious at the time."
Chen Ping'an was a little shocked this time, and asked, "You came up with this series of plans?"
Li Baoping shook his head and said, "Lin Shouyi also came up with an idea. For example, in the beginning, he couldn't just find a place far away from Mud Bottle Alley, and casually said that this was Mud Bottle Alley. It is best to park the car at Xinghua Alley at Dong Shuijing's house. It is not far from Muping Alley. There is room for detours. Besides, when the driver arrives at Xinghua Alley, he will definitely ask his ancestors to make sure that it is true. After that, it will be much easier for us to lie to him."
Li Baoping said solemnly, "It was proved in the end that it is indeed the case."
Chen Ping'an couldn't help rubbing the little girl's head, and said with admiration, "It's amazing."
Li Baoping said with a smile: "If you're not at home, Li Huai and Dong Shuijing will be fine. Don't worry about being forced to confront each other and expose the truth."
Li Baoping asked curiously, "Why did Mr. Ma, who studied at the school, and the coachman who can't speak the dialect of the small town well, want to find you?"
Chen Ping'an shook his head and said, "I'm also very strange. For the time being, I only know that it may have something to do with the things Mr. Qi gave me."
Mr. Qi once took himself to beg the locust leaf, but the last locust leaf with the word Yao has been used up.
That jasper hairpin?But Mr. Qi himself and Ning Yao both said that this hairpin was made of ordinary material and was just an ordinary hairpin for other hair.
seal?
Chen Ping'an's mood was solemn, most of the time.
Mr. Qi has sent himself his seal twice, totaling the four sides.
How long ago did Old Man Yang say that he should cherish the seal with the word "quiet" very well.
The complete printed text is the four characters "Peaceful Mind".
In addition, Mr. Qi also said casually that if he sees a landscape situation map that he finds interesting in the future, he can use the pair of landscape stamps to draw a bet.
Contacting the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers after Lizhu Cave has landed, there will really be mountains and rivers and gods in charge, and that is the case with the Luopao Mountain that he is about to buy.
Li Baoping suddenly took out three withered yellow locust leaves, held them in the palm of his hand and showed them to Chen Ping'an, and said distressedly, "The green leaves have turned yellow."
Chen Ping'an suddenly realized that at that time, it must be these three Zuyin Huai Ye who helped Mr. Ma from the school to continue his life, so that he could say a few more words.
In fact, this is the truth. If it wasn't for Li Baoping's blessing, and always keeping these three ancestral locust leaves close to his body, I am afraid that the old man would not be able to say a word, and he would die so unwillingly.
Chen Pingan now has all his valuables and belongings stored in the blacksmith's shop. Master Ruan gave him the yellow mud thatched hut where Ning Yao lived before, not to mention the eight snake gallstones that still have the same color as usual, and the rest are about a hundred big ones. Ordinary snake gallstones, big and small, were also moved out from the ancestral house in Niping Lane and the courtyard of Liu Xianyang's house, and they were all piled up at the foot of the house here.
However, the Fangjing word seal and the mountain-shaking score, these two things, Chen Ping'an always carries them with him.
After Chen Ping'an thought deeply, he slowly said, "The driver should be on his way to the blacksmith shop now, or else you should hide here first, and I'll take Shi Chunjia and Lin Shouyi who were left on the ox cart and carriage. Come here? If the driver asks, I can ask the people here to tell him that I have the habit of going out for a walk. Also, about the matter of you taking a detour, when the driver arrives at my house in Mud Bottle Lane, he should You will be aware of it, of course he may not say anything on the surface, but after this, you are really in danger."
Seeing that Li Baoping was still a little hesitant, Chen Ping'an said solemnly, "Trust me, if all your family members have moved away, then the town is only safe here."
Li Baoping thought for a while, and asked, "Do you trust Master Ruan, who strikes iron here?"
Chen Ping'an shook his head and said, "I believe more in the 'rules' that Mr. Qi once said."
Li Baoping smiled brightly, "I understand!"
Once Li Baoping made up his mind, he immediately burst out with amazing decisiveness, "Since you believe that Sister Ruan, then I will let her take me to bring Shi Chunjia and Lin Shou, and then find a place to hide, you will Feel free to chat with that bad guy, and see what medicine he sells in the gourd."
Chen Pingan smiled and said, "Yes."
Chen Pingan took Li Baoping out of the sword casting room, presumably to avoid suspicion. Ruan Xiu sat a little farther outside the door, sitting on a small green bamboo chair, shaking her body from side to side boredly.
After Chen Ping'an finished his request, Ruan Xiu said without hesitation, "No problem."
Then Ruan Xiu squatted down, turned to look at the little girl in the red jacket, and motioned her to lie on her back.
Li Baoping looked reluctant, "I'm running so fast!"
Ruan Xiu smiled and said, "I'm definitely faster."
The little girl turned her head to look at Chen Pingan angrily, apparently hoping that he could prove that she really ran fast.
Just as Chen Ping'an was about to speak, Ruan Xiu said sternly to the big and small: "I went back and forth several times, and neither you nor Chen Ping'an have run to the town yet."
Li Baoping pouted, "I know there are gods and ghosts in the world, but you think that gods are so easy to act like."
Chen Pingan made a final decision, "Listen to Sister Ruan, hurry up!"
Li Baoping sighed and had to lie on Ruan Xiu's back, so soft and comfortable that the little girl fell asleep.
Before Ruan Xiu left, she said to Chen Ping'an, "If you have anything, you can find my father."
Chen Pingan nodded.
Swish.
The little girl in the padded jacket hugging Ruan's neck was suddenly so frightened that her hair stood on end, and she felt a strong wind whistling past her ears.
She turned her head and looked down, how did the house become as small as the bluestone slabs on Fulu Street?That stream is as thin as a rope?
On the ground, Chen Ping'an was dumbfounded as he watched as Miss Ruan rose to the ground with Li Baoping on her back, and disappeared in a flash.
The young man thought to himself that Ruan and Ning were both immortals.
----
In a quiet and peaceful house on Erlang Lane, Cui Yu stood by the pool, and the dumb boy sat quietly on the small bench.
Cui Yu commanded softly, "Go get a glass of water."
The boy stood up immediately, holding a glass of cold water in both hands.
Cui Yu took the water glass, flicked his wrist, and the glass of water was sprinkled on the pool at will, turning into a thin cyan water curtain.
Cui Yu's thoughts moved slightly, and in the water curtain, the picture of the ox cart and the carriage entering the town one after another appeared.
Cui Yu folded his sleeves with both hands, and the whole person looked very leisurely.
When there is no chance to preach the Dao at all, a qi practitioner should be nervous and anxious.
When Cui Yu saw the little girl in the red padded jacket saying goodbye to her two blush-colored peers, she jumped out of the carriage and galloped down the street. Then the driver was tricked by the two teenagers into Xinghua Lane.
The Grand Master tutted: "I used to ridicule Song Changjing's spies who grew up eating shit. I didn't expect that the spies I trained were similar, they grew up drinking urine."
However, Cui Yu was relieved quickly, Li Baoping's running figure kept appearing in the water curtain, and he said to himself: "The children here are inherently smart, especially the group of people like Song Jixin and Zhao You, who are a little older, It's the second group, including this little girl, she's an outstanding person, she's very smart, and she's quick to open her mind, it's really not to be underestimated."
When he saw the little girl in the red cotton jacket running towards the stone arch bridge, the brilliance in Cui Yu's eyes filled with ripples, like waves hitting rocks.
Cui Yu shifted his eyes slightly, stopped staring at the water curtain, closed his eyes slowly, and when he opened his eyes, the little girl had already run across the stone arch bridge.
Cui Yu frowned slightly, "Is it because the Dali royal family's methods are too bloody and cruel, so they aroused the natural disgust of the old sword? So that I also have some hatred for me, the person who supports the dragon. But it stands to reason that although the true history of this sword has no evidence, there are only some illusory rumors, but since it is an ancient sword, what kind of fighting scene has not been experienced before, so it is not so stingy?"
& nbs
p; The scene of the water curtain is getting closer and closer to the blacksmith's shop.
The water curtain created by the glass of water shattered without warning.
The countless water droplets that sputtered in all directions hit the walls, windows, beams, and pillars of the house, and actually exploded countless holes.
However, the beads that shot at Cui Yu and the boy seemed to hit an invisible copper wall and burst into even finer water droplets in an instant.
A Ruan Qiong's voice fell from the patio, "You don't want to make an inch!"
Cui Yu raised his head and laughed and said, "The saint is stingy. If you don't look at it, don't look at it. If you have something to say, you can talk about it. After all, this is the Yuan family's ancestral home. After I return to the capital, I will be settled by the autumn queen. What should I do?"
Cui Yu said to himself, "It's time for the remnants of the Lu dynasty to come."
Cui Yu lowered his head and glanced at the boy. After retracting his gaze, he tapped his left and right index fingers hidden in his sleeves, and said softly, "Just in case, just in case."
----
When Li Huai and Dong Shuijing took the driver to find Chen Ping'an, the latter was building a house with others.
Li Huai's eyes turned sharply.
Dong Shuijing's face was as usual, with the demeanor of a general.
Chen Ping'an, who was covered in dust, walked up to the three of them and asked suspiciously, "Are you looking for me?"
The driver was not amazing, looking like a simple and honest peasant man, rubbed his hands in front of Chen Ping'an, and whispered, "Can you say it in another place?"
Chen Ping'an shook his head and said solemnly, "Just say it here!"
Although the driver had a displeased look on his face, he felt a little more relaxed.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, "Do you know Mr. Qi from the small town school?"
The straw-shoe boy said angrily, "Who doesn't know Mr. Qi in the town, but it's hard to say whether Mr. Qi recognizes us or not."
Li Huai held back a wicked smile.
Dong Shuijing in Xinghua Alley took a deep look at Chen Ping'an in Mud Ping Alley.
Someone from the other side of the room hurriedly shouted: "Don't be lazy, the surnamed Chen, hurry up and get back to work!"
The teenager sighed and said to the driver, "Speak straight, okay?"
The man rubbed his cheeks with both hands, let out a breath, and said in a low voice, "I am a dead soldier of the Dali court, and I am responsible for protecting these children from going to Shanya Academy to study. Of course, I do not deny that I also supervise them not to be abducted by outsiders. It doesn't matter if you don't understand or believe it or not. But I don't care about your relationship with Mr. Qi, or whether you know Mr. Ma Zhan and Mr. Ma. , I hope you will be careful and safe in the near future, because Mr. Ma was killed on the way to take us to Shanya Academy. Before that, Mr. Ma occasionally chatted with me and accidentally mentioned you twice, once He said that he remembered a long time ago, when sweeping the floor, he often saw a child who liked to squat outside the window of the school. The second time was that Mr. Qi said that before he resigned as the teacher and the master of the academy, he said that you were also a seed for reading, but it was a pity that he I can't take you to Shanya Academy."
The man smiled bitterly and said, "It's just a pity for these children. Now they are really poor people who are homeless. They dare not go to the academy, and the town's home is gone. You must know that the Shanya Academy founded by Mr. Qi is not for everyone. Those who can go in and study, there are millions of people in our Dali capital, it is said that after so many years, there are only a dozen disciples from the cliff academy, and now they are all high officials."
Li Huai lowered his head, unable to see his expression clearly.
Dong Shuijing stood there, expressionless.
Ruan Xiu coughed softly in the distance, Chen Ping'an turned his head, and the girl in Tsing Yi smiled and nodded.
Chen Ping'an knew it, and only called Li Huai's name, "Li Huai, you two come here, I want to ask you something first."
Li Huai snorted and pulled Dong Shuijing forward.
When the man realized something was wrong, Chen Ping'an suddenly pulled Li Huai and Dong Shuijing behind him, and he took a step forward and said solemnly, "Thank you for saying hello to me, I will take care of Mr. Ma for these school children in the future. The husband takes care of them, I have to ask their opinions on whether to go to the capital to find their parents in the future, or what to do."
The man smiled dryly: "Chen Pingan, this is not right, after all, I can take care of their safety better than you."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's fine, I'm rich now, and I know the magistrate Wu Yuan, as well as Dong Hu, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. If there is something really wrong, I will find them. Of course, I will ask our master Ruan to help me spread the word. ."
The driver pursed his lips, glanced out of the corner of his eyes, and found a man who was not tall standing under the eaves.
The coachman, who was already ready to kill, suddenly sweated, and said to Chen Pingan with a smile: "Okay, since Mr. Ma is willing to trust you, of course I can trust your character, read it, Chen Pingan, if you need my help in the future, Go find me in Sannvzhong Alley in the north of the town, and live in the small house on the northernmost end of the alley."
Chen Ping'an smiled peacefully: "A word is settled."
The driver turned away.
Sweat dripped from Chen Ping's forehead, and he waited until the man had completely disappeared from sight before saying to the two of them: "Li Huai, Lin Shouyi, come with me to see Li Baoping." Li Huai asked, "Li Baoping has already told you Said all?"
Chen Pingan nodded.
Dong Shuijing asked, "What about Shi Chunjia and Lin Shouyi?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "It has been taken over."
Dong Shuijing glanced at him and said nothing.
It was still the temporarily empty sword-casting room. Chen Ping'an stood facing the five schoolboys who were sitting on the two benches. According to their age, they were Shi Chunjia in Riding Dragon Lane, Tao Ye. Lin Shouyi in Lane, Dong Shuijing in Xinghua Lane, Li Baoping in Fulu Street, and Li Huai in the westernmost part of the town.
Except for Li Huai, the youngest, who is far from them, the other four are actually only a few months apart from each other.
Chen Ping'an asked: "Li Huai and Dong Shuijing have already explained the situation just now. What do you think the foreigner who calls himself the dead man of Da Li wants to do?"
Lin Shouyi, who had long since disappeared, said indifferently, "We don't even know the answer to why the surnamed Cui wanted to kill Mr. Ma, so what else can we talk about?"
Shi Chunjia hugged Li Baoping's shoulder tightly, her face pale and still a little nervous, but after returning to the town, especially when she saw Chen Ping'an, who was relatively familiar, the little girl with the horns braided her heart a lot. At least there is no need to worry about suddenly turning into the miserable appearance after Mr. Ma's death. When they helped to dig a pit for burial, Shi Chunjia was so frightened that he hid in the distance, hugging his head and crying, and he couldn't help from beginning to end. Li Huai It's not much better, hiding farther away than her, with teeth fighting.
At this moment, Li Huai was holding his stomach, crying and muttering: "I'm hungry and thirsty, so-called hunger and cold, but that's it. Mom and dad, your son is living a miserable life now."
Li Baoping turned his head and stared, "Li Huai!"
Li Huai drooped his head, and secretly tugged at Dong Shuijing's sleeve sitting on the far right, "Shui Jing, are you hungry?"
Dong Shuijing said calmly, "I can pretend I'm not hungry."
Li Huai rolled his eyes.
Li Baoping was disheartened, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab Shi Chunjia's horn braid and shook it vigorously, "Actually, everything is cloudy and foggy right now, and Lin Shouyi is right, the other party is playing chess. We are too young, our top priority is to save our lives, and after confirming that it is safe, let’s talk about other things, such as quickly saying hello to the family who moved to the capital of Dali, and reporting that they are safe.”
After Li Baoping uttered the phrase "reporting the sound of safety", everyone subconsciously looked at the guy in the straw sandals opposite.
Chen Ping'an was silent for a long time and asked, "Since we can't think of what others think, let's figure out what we think."
After seeing that the five people on the opposite side had no objection, Chen Ping'an asked, "Do you want to go to the capital of Dali safely and find your parents and elders? Or?"
Li Huai cried out in pain: "My parents took my sister and I don't know where to go to enjoy the happiness, I went to the capital of the fart, just like my uncle and their family, they are really rich, and they will only bully me even more. Look at the thief, you can't be an enemy in the future?
Li Baoping bypassed Shi Chunjia and smashed it down with a chestnut, which made Li Huai lose his temper.
Dong Shuijing thought for a while, and said sullenly: "I want to study. If my parents stay in the small town, they will not study if they don't study. It's okay to help them work in the fields, but if I go to the capital, what can I do? Even They can't speak the official language of Dali, and I'm not Li Baoping, a person who can learn everything quickly. Besides, when my grandfather died, I would die in the school too, saying that if I can't be a scholar in the future, don't Go to his grave, he doesn't recognize me as a grandson. If the school in the small town continues, I will stay in the town."
Shi Chunjia blushed and said timidly, "I want to go to the capital to find my parents."
Lin Shouyi, who was sitting on the far left of the bench, frowned and said, "Where is it safe, where do I go."
Li Baoping crossed his arms around his chest, his eyes were shining, and he was in high spirits. He said loudly, "I'm going to Shanya Academy! Go to the place where Mr. Qi is studying!"
Li Baoping stood up and stood between Chen Ping'an and the four classmates Mengtong, she pointed at Dong Shuijing, "Don't talk about Da Li, the entire East Treasure Pingzhou is the most famous of Mr. Qi's Shanya Academy. If your grandfather knew that you stayed in the small town to study and didn't go to the Shanya Academy, I guess his coffin would not be covered. Of course, if you are afraid of death, don't go there. You can study here for more than ten years. It’s better to be a half-baked scholar than to die on the way to study.”
Dong Shuijing blushed when he said this to Li Baoping.
Li Baoping pointed at Lin Shouyi, "Aren't you an illegitimate child who is looked down upon by others? And do you also look down on me, a rich child born on Fulu Street, from the bottom of your heart? After you arrive at Shanya Academy, who dares to look down on you? Of course, Mr. Qi said that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. That's why you, Lin Shouyi, are willing to stay here, and I don't bother to care about you."
As soon as Shi Chunjia saw Li Baoping pointing his finger at him, he burst into tears.
Li Baoping sat back in his seat with an expression of anger and grief for his misfortune, and Li Huai wondered, "Li Baoping, why didn't you tell me?"
Li Baoping replied, "I don't want to talk to you."
Li Huai was stunned, then silently raised his head, his face full of grief and indignation.
Chen Ping'an didn't look at the other four, just looked at the little girl in the red jacket and asked, "Are you sure you want to go to Shanya Academy?"
Li Baoping nodded and said: "Mr. Qi said that the collection of books in our Shanya Academy is the best in the world! Mr. Qi also said that all my questions, even if he can't answer them, can all be obtained from the books there. Find out!"
Our cliff academy.
Obviously, the little girl has long regarded herself as a student disciple of that academy.
Chen Pingan finally asked, "Aren't you afraid of suffering?"
The aura of the little girl dropped slightly, "I'm a little scared when I'm alone."
Chen Pingan smiled brightly and said, "Okay."
Li Baoping looked blank, "Huh?"
Chen Ping'an said solemnly: "I will accompany you to that cliff academy."
Li Baoping hesitated to speak, her eyes were red, this little girl in a red cotton jacket who was not afraid of the sky, if it weren't for the four cowards sitting beside her, she would have cried aloud again.
Just like the first time I went to the creek to "catch" the crab a long time ago, in fact, she had already secretly cried outside the house, so she could be so proud after running into the house.
Chen Pingan beckoned to Li Baoping, and when Li Baoping walked behind him, he said to the other four on the bench: "You four wait here, Li Baoping and I will find someone and say something. Things will also have something to do with you. So don't be in a hurry."
Then Chen Pingan took the little girl's hand and walked to the outside of the sword casting room together.
The straw-shoe boy seemed to be talking to himself, but also to someone, "I said, what I promised must be done."
Li Baoping wiped away his tears and said, "But you also said that at that time, if you can't do it, you can say hello."
Chen Pingan shook his head and said softly, "Mr. Qi is no longer here. I said hello, but he couldn't hear me."
----
It was only about a short stick of incense sticks. Even though the young man had already walked away with the little girl in the red padded jacket, the military saint Ruan Qiong was still sitting on the small bamboo chair, and some did not regain his senses.
Ruan Xiu also sat on the chair, looking at the empty bamboo chair, her heart was numb.
The young man asks Ruan Qiong to help him buy five mountains, but he will leave the town soon. If he can’t come back, he will separate four of the five mountains, Luopo Mountain, Baolu Mountain, Caiyun Peak, and Xiancao Mountain. For Liu Xianyang, Gu Can, Ning Yao, Ruan Xiu.He only left the lonely Pearl Mountain for 300 years.
There are two adjacent shops in the town, Ye Sui and Caotou, you can ask Master Ruan to hire someone to help look after them.However, he will leave the hundreds of ordinary snake gallstones, and let Master Ruan help sell them there, and the money he earns will be used to maintain the operation of the store.Although the two shops do not need to consider making money, the young man hopes that every guy in the shop can be informed that the shop owner here is a family named Chen in Mui Ping Xiang, and their family runs it.
Then, Master Ruan had to safely send the four school boys to the capital of Dali.
As a reward, the young man handed over half of the Dragon Slaying Platform and all the remaining gold and copper coins after buying the mountain and the shop to Master Ruan.
Ruan Qiong did not refuse.
However, Ruan Qiong said that he could only guarantee that he and Li Baoping would be sent to the southern border of Dali.
Chen Pingan nodded in agreement.
In the twilight, after Chen Pingan settled his five children, he walked to the town alone.
After walking across the stone arch bridge, into the town, into the mud bottle alley, and back to his own house, the night fell, the young man looked calm and lit a lamp.
The teenagers kept watch at night in front of the lights, just like in the past every Spring Festival.
The lights flickered, reflecting the boy's silent and stoic eyes.
----
On the stone arch bridge, someone asked with a smile, "A thousand-year-old darkroom is bright with a single light. Senior, how is it?"
Someone replied: "Yes."
----
When Chen Ping'an "woke up", he found that he had seen the man for the fourth time, hovering in the air, snow-white sleeves fluttering without wind.
The man gently landed on his toes and walked towards Chen Pingan.
With each step, the man's face became clearer.
The man was still tall, but he didn't feel bloated at all.
That person turned out to be a woman.
As far as the teenager is concerned, it can only be said that she was born extremely good-looking, so that she couldn't be any more good-looking.
Standing in front of the boy, she finally stopped. She bowed her head, stared at the boy's clean eyes, and said softly, "I've been waiting for 8000 years. Chen Pingan, although your cultivation talent, Far inferior to my previous master, but it doesn't matter."
She lowered her head and leaned closer, almost touching Chen Ping's forehead, "Chen Ping'an, I want to ask you to help me talk to the four worlds outside, can you?"
Chen Pingan nodded subconsciously.
The tall woman smiled suddenly.
She suddenly knelt down on one knee, and even so, she still just raised her head slightly, and was able to look at Chen Ping'an, who was thin.
"Okay, from today, Chen Ping'an, you are my second and last master."
Chen Ping'an was stunned.
The tall woman covered in snow-white light narrowed her extremely long eyes with a smile on her lips. She knelt down on one knee and knelt to the ignorant young man. She was in high spirits. With the scenery of the mountains and rivers, she said solemnly, "Chen Pingan, please recite that oath with me. Can you?"
She stretched out a palm and gently erected it in front of the boy.
Chen Ping'an also stretched out a palm and gently clasped them together.
She closed her eyes and said slowly: "The way of heaven collapses, I, Chen Ping'an, have only one sword to move mountains, break rivers, overturn seas, subdue demons, suppress demons, decree gods, pick stars, destroy cities, and open the sky!"
The young man followed in her heart and said silently: "The way of heaven collapses, I am Chen Ping'an, only one sword can move mountains, break rivers, overturn seas, subdue demons, suppress demons, decree gods, pick stars, destroy cities, and open the sky!"
Chen Ping'an looked around for the first time, and didn't see anything unusual, so he took the little girl's hand and said softly, "Let's talk elsewhere."
Chen Pingan thought about it, the stream was quiet, and it was easy to hide from people's eyes, but since he noticed that there was dirt in the stream, he didn't go into the water easily.
After the little girl in the red cotton jacket said this sentence in a hurry, she immediately regretted it, because Chen Ping'an stood beside Chen Ping'an, an outsider, Sister Ruan with a ponytail in Tsing Yi. Xiu had met once, and there were also the pair of golden boys and girls from Taoism present. One was raising two big fish with green and red tails, and the other was leading a snow-white elk. They were related to the family where the little girl belonged.At this moment, Ruan Xiu, of course, doesn't look like a bad person, but what the little girl is most afraid of now is precisely this kind of person, half-baked relationship, she looks very kind, and in the end she doesn't hand out the knife, and the people close to her are already was stabbed to death.
In the beginning, Mr. Ma and the man surnamed Cui walked all the way, citing the scriptures and talking about it, singing poetry and singing to wine. In Li Huai's words, this man surnamed Cui was either the illegitimate son of the old man Ma, or his grandson, otherwise the relationship Not so good.No one thought that the high-spirited Mr. Ma would die in the hands of the righteous gentleman who moved the world. According to Mr. Ma's earliest statement, among all the Confucian gentlemen and sages in Dongbao Pingzhou, there are two people who are exceptionally outstanding and are known as "Mr. Da Xiaojun", Mr. Cui is the famous "Little Lord Guanhu".Before the accident happened, almost everyone had an excellent impression of Cui Minghuang. He was gentle, elegant, and extremely knowledgeable. He seemed to know everything, and he could answer anything when asked.Only Lin Shouyi didn't like Cui Minghuang at first, but Lin Shouyi, who was born in a big gate in Taoye Lane, seems to be born with the cold expression that you owe me several million taels, because he and the other four Mengtong The relationship between them was estranged, so Lin Shou and Cui Junzi had many times of ridicule and sarcasm. No one understood it, but Lin Shouyi was jealous that Cui Minghuang was more handsome than him.
Although Ruan Xiu didn't understand why the little girl looked unkind to her, she still suggested: "Or go to our newly built sword casting room?"
The little girl who was already in trouble, clenched Chen Ping'an's hand tightly, shook her head vigorously, her eyes full of pleading: "Chen Ping'an, let's not go to places with many strangers, okay?"
Chen Ping'an gently shook Li Baoping's little hand and said softly, "Trust me, the sword casting room in the blacksmith's shop is the safest place."
The little girl looked up at Chen Pingan's eyes, like the stream she saw when she walked alone to the water for the first time when she was young. Never grow up.At this time, the little girl who was in danger of life and death, was filled with grievances inexplicably, and cried again, sobbing: "Chen Pingan, you are not allowed to lie to me!"
Chen Ping'an's eyes were firm and he said, "I won't lie to you!"
Ruan Xiu brought one big and one small to the sword casting room, took out the key and opened the door, she stood there and smiled softly: "I will not go in, let you watch the wind outside, even if my father comes, you are not allowed to He's in."
Chen Pingan was a little embarrassed, and explained in a low voice: "Can you bring her something to eat and drink? I guess when she is less nervous, she will lose her energy at once. It is better to fill her stomach than anything else." , I used to do that a lot when I was little."
Ruan Xiu nodded vigorously and turned slightly to the side, only to see that she flipped her wrist, and she didn't know where she made a small silk bag and handed it to Chen Ping'an, "The five new peach blossom cakes made by the New Year's shop, take them first. Go get a pot of water and tell her not to eat too fast and not to choke."
Chen Pingan and Li Baoping sat opposite each other, each sitting on a small bench. Although the little girl took the peach blossom cake, there was no sign of eating it.
Chen Ping'an said softly, "What's going on, let's talk about it."
Li Baoping speaks very slowly, and seems very contradictory to her character who is always eager to do anything.However, the little girl spoke slowly, just enough to allow Chen Ping'an to take a look at his thoughts and put himself in his shoes to think about the problem.Before the death of the old Mr. Ma in the school, the five Mengtong traveled to study on the way out of their hometown. The journey was smooth and smooth. The ox cart and two carriages traveled hundreds of miles. Mr. Cui Minghuang, who was in the family, talked very happily, and became the best friend of the new year, but one day, when Mr. Ma was checking their homework, he suddenly said that he was going to talk to Mr. Cui about the itinerary. It is possible that the two sides will part ways and never let it go. After all no party last forever.
But the children waited for a long time and did not see Mr. Ma and Cui Minghuang returning, so Li Baoping and Li Huai ran to find someone, but Li Huai was the first to find Mr. Ma who was in the blood, let alone hands and feet. The old man's injuries were so severe that blood was dripping from his eyes and ears. He felt that the old man's body was like a bamboo basket lifted from a stream, and all the water had leaked.The dying Mr. Ma asked Li Huai to only bring Li Baoping to his side. After Li Baoping came to him, the old man just grabbed her hand. It was a return to light, maybe it was a desperate effort, and finally, intermittently, he briefly explained the funeral to Li Baoping.
When it came to this, the little girl in the red cotton jacket was already weeping, crying into tears.
Chen Ping'an was not the type to comfort others, so he had to move the stool closer to the little girl silently, stretched out his hand to wipe her tears, and repeated, "Don't cry, don't cry..."
The little girl sniffed hard, and continued: "Mr. Ma grabbed my hand and told me that I must find you alone, and that you should be careful of the people in Guanhu Academy and Dali Capital, don't believe anyone! "
Chen Ping'an's face was solemn, and he asked, "Where are Shi Chunjia and the others?"
Li Baoping, whose face was full of tears, suddenly grinned, and said, "The four of them are taking that foreigner's coachman around Niping Lane. Lin Shouyi thinks that coachman is not a good person, and he might be the same as Cui." People, the partnership killed Mr. Ma. After we found a place to bury Mr. Ma, the coachman said that it was impossible to go to the cliff academy, because Mr. Ma and Mr. Cui just got the news that the academy where Mr. Qi was the owner of the mountain had been resigned. Li moved to the enemy country Dasui, and now there is no Mr. Ma to lead the way. Before the Dasui, all of us will be killed by the frontier army under the name of collaborating with the enemy and treason when we reach the border of Dali. In the end, he didn’t tell us what to do, whether to go back to the small town school to wait for the next teacher, or go to Tai Sui to continue to study at the Shanya Academy. Mr. Ma also told us. So we had to follow the coachman back here, but the coachman again It is said that the elder families of all of us have moved to the capital of Dali. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the small town and ask someone. Once you ask, you will know that he is telling the truth, because the Dali government asked every family to stay. small town."
Ruan Xiu took a pot of water and knocked on the door and walked into the sword casting room, Li Baoping immediately kept silent.
After Ruan Xiu left, she did not forget to close the door.
The little girl waited until the door was closed, and then continued: "The driver was very strange and deliberately asked us, who knew a young man named Chen Pingan who lived in a place called Mud Bottle Alley. He said that he would help Mr. Tell you. I didn't speak at the time."
Chen Ping'an nodded: "That's right. Fill your stomach first."
Li Baoping devoured three pieces of cakes in succession, took a sip of water, wiped his face with the back of his hand, and said quickly, "Then the five of us looked for opportunities to get together, and we always felt that it was absolutely impossible to wait and die, so I came up with the idea. One way, the day before returning to the town, Shi Chunjia began to pretend to be sick, and I had to take care of her all the time. Then I told Li Huai the distribution of the alleys in the Niping Alley in private, and asked him to admit that he had known him for a long time. You, the reason is that his father, Li Er, worked as a clerk in the Yang family shop. There used to be a boy named Chen in Mud Bottle Lane, who often went to the shop to sell herbs, but when the driver asked about it, he didn't think of it at all."
Chen Pingan was a little puzzled.
Li Baoping explained: "I often see you going up the mountain to collect herbs by yourself in the stream in the small town, or when you go down the mountain, you carry a large basket of herbs on your back."
Chen Ping'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and his eyes signaled that he understood.
Chen Ping'an was a little scared at the same time, and said solemnly: "It's actually very dangerous for you to do this."
The little girl nodded and said, "Yes. So before the five of us discussed this matter, I made it clear to them. Lin Shouyi said that Li Baoping's life was the most valuable, and he was not afraid of death. He was just an annoying bastard. , it doesn't matter. Shi Chunjia is rather stupid, and he said he would listen to me anyway. Li Huai said what he was afraid of, people were dying, and if something happened to him, although his father Li Er was very naive and had no ability, he My mother will definitely avenge him. Dong Shuijing is the most succinct, saying that he is very strong, and if things come to light, let the four of us run first, and he will fight the driver desperately."
"But I don't think it's that dangerous. If the driver really wants to kill us, don't delay to the town. He must be plotting something. Guess one of the real purposes of the culprit behind the scenes must have something to do with you."
Li Baoping ate the last two peach blossom cakes and took a deep breath, "After we finally got to Xinghua Lane in the town, I asked Dong Shuijing and Li Huai to take the driver out of the car, saying that they could take a shortcut to the muddy ground. Pingxiang, in fact, Li Huai was going to take him around in a big circle. As soon as I waited for them to leave, I immediately ran out of the car and went to Nipingxiang to find you. As a result, the gate of your house was locked. Fortunately, there was a Neighbors passed by, and when I asked, I found out that you were an apprentice in a blacksmith shop, and I was really anxious at the time."
Chen Ping'an was a little shocked this time, and asked, "You came up with this series of plans?"
Li Baoping shook his head and said, "Lin Shouyi also came up with an idea. For example, in the beginning, he couldn't just find a place far away from Mud Bottle Alley, and casually said that this was Mud Bottle Alley. It is best to park the car at Xinghua Alley at Dong Shuijing's house. It is not far from Muping Alley. There is room for detours. Besides, when the driver arrives at Xinghua Alley, he will definitely ask his ancestors to make sure that it is true. After that, it will be much easier for us to lie to him."
Li Baoping said solemnly, "It was proved in the end that it is indeed the case."
Chen Ping'an couldn't help rubbing the little girl's head, and said with admiration, "It's amazing."
Li Baoping said with a smile: "If you're not at home, Li Huai and Dong Shuijing will be fine. Don't worry about being forced to confront each other and expose the truth."
Li Baoping asked curiously, "Why did Mr. Ma, who studied at the school, and the coachman who can't speak the dialect of the small town well, want to find you?"
Chen Ping'an shook his head and said, "I'm also very strange. For the time being, I only know that it may have something to do with the things Mr. Qi gave me."
Mr. Qi once took himself to beg the locust leaf, but the last locust leaf with the word Yao has been used up.
That jasper hairpin?But Mr. Qi himself and Ning Yao both said that this hairpin was made of ordinary material and was just an ordinary hairpin for other hair.
seal?
Chen Ping'an's mood was solemn, most of the time.
Mr. Qi has sent himself his seal twice, totaling the four sides.
How long ago did Old Man Yang say that he should cherish the seal with the word "quiet" very well.
The complete printed text is the four characters "Peaceful Mind".
In addition, Mr. Qi also said casually that if he sees a landscape situation map that he finds interesting in the future, he can use the pair of landscape stamps to draw a bet.
Contacting the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers after Lizhu Cave has landed, there will really be mountains and rivers and gods in charge, and that is the case with the Luopao Mountain that he is about to buy.
Li Baoping suddenly took out three withered yellow locust leaves, held them in the palm of his hand and showed them to Chen Ping'an, and said distressedly, "The green leaves have turned yellow."
Chen Ping'an suddenly realized that at that time, it must be these three Zuyin Huai Ye who helped Mr. Ma from the school to continue his life, so that he could say a few more words.
In fact, this is the truth. If it wasn't for Li Baoping's blessing, and always keeping these three ancestral locust leaves close to his body, I am afraid that the old man would not be able to say a word, and he would die so unwillingly.
Chen Pingan now has all his valuables and belongings stored in the blacksmith's shop. Master Ruan gave him the yellow mud thatched hut where Ning Yao lived before, not to mention the eight snake gallstones that still have the same color as usual, and the rest are about a hundred big ones. Ordinary snake gallstones, big and small, were also moved out from the ancestral house in Niping Lane and the courtyard of Liu Xianyang's house, and they were all piled up at the foot of the house here.
However, the Fangjing word seal and the mountain-shaking score, these two things, Chen Ping'an always carries them with him.
After Chen Ping'an thought deeply, he slowly said, "The driver should be on his way to the blacksmith shop now, or else you should hide here first, and I'll take Shi Chunjia and Lin Shouyi who were left on the ox cart and carriage. Come here? If the driver asks, I can ask the people here to tell him that I have the habit of going out for a walk. Also, about the matter of you taking a detour, when the driver arrives at my house in Mud Bottle Lane, he should You will be aware of it, of course he may not say anything on the surface, but after this, you are really in danger."
Seeing that Li Baoping was still a little hesitant, Chen Ping'an said solemnly, "Trust me, if all your family members have moved away, then the town is only safe here."
Li Baoping thought for a while, and asked, "Do you trust Master Ruan, who strikes iron here?"
Chen Ping'an shook his head and said, "I believe more in the 'rules' that Mr. Qi once said."
Li Baoping smiled brightly, "I understand!"
Once Li Baoping made up his mind, he immediately burst out with amazing decisiveness, "Since you believe that Sister Ruan, then I will let her take me to bring Shi Chunjia and Lin Shou, and then find a place to hide, you will Feel free to chat with that bad guy, and see what medicine he sells in the gourd."
Chen Pingan smiled and said, "Yes."
Chen Pingan took Li Baoping out of the sword casting room, presumably to avoid suspicion. Ruan Xiu sat a little farther outside the door, sitting on a small green bamboo chair, shaking her body from side to side boredly.
After Chen Ping'an finished his request, Ruan Xiu said without hesitation, "No problem."
Then Ruan Xiu squatted down, turned to look at the little girl in the red jacket, and motioned her to lie on her back.
Li Baoping looked reluctant, "I'm running so fast!"
Ruan Xiu smiled and said, "I'm definitely faster."
The little girl turned her head to look at Chen Pingan angrily, apparently hoping that he could prove that she really ran fast.
Just as Chen Ping'an was about to speak, Ruan Xiu said sternly to the big and small: "I went back and forth several times, and neither you nor Chen Ping'an have run to the town yet."
Li Baoping pouted, "I know there are gods and ghosts in the world, but you think that gods are so easy to act like."
Chen Pingan made a final decision, "Listen to Sister Ruan, hurry up!"
Li Baoping sighed and had to lie on Ruan Xiu's back, so soft and comfortable that the little girl fell asleep.
Before Ruan Xiu left, she said to Chen Ping'an, "If you have anything, you can find my father."
Chen Pingan nodded.
Swish.
The little girl in the padded jacket hugging Ruan's neck was suddenly so frightened that her hair stood on end, and she felt a strong wind whistling past her ears.
She turned her head and looked down, how did the house become as small as the bluestone slabs on Fulu Street?That stream is as thin as a rope?
On the ground, Chen Ping'an was dumbfounded as he watched as Miss Ruan rose to the ground with Li Baoping on her back, and disappeared in a flash.
The young man thought to himself that Ruan and Ning were both immortals.
----
In a quiet and peaceful house on Erlang Lane, Cui Yu stood by the pool, and the dumb boy sat quietly on the small bench.
Cui Yu commanded softly, "Go get a glass of water."
The boy stood up immediately, holding a glass of cold water in both hands.
Cui Yu took the water glass, flicked his wrist, and the glass of water was sprinkled on the pool at will, turning into a thin cyan water curtain.
Cui Yu's thoughts moved slightly, and in the water curtain, the picture of the ox cart and the carriage entering the town one after another appeared.
Cui Yu folded his sleeves with both hands, and the whole person looked very leisurely.
When there is no chance to preach the Dao at all, a qi practitioner should be nervous and anxious.
When Cui Yu saw the little girl in the red padded jacket saying goodbye to her two blush-colored peers, she jumped out of the carriage and galloped down the street. Then the driver was tricked by the two teenagers into Xinghua Lane.
The Grand Master tutted: "I used to ridicule Song Changjing's spies who grew up eating shit. I didn't expect that the spies I trained were similar, they grew up drinking urine."
However, Cui Yu was relieved quickly, Li Baoping's running figure kept appearing in the water curtain, and he said to himself: "The children here are inherently smart, especially the group of people like Song Jixin and Zhao You, who are a little older, It's the second group, including this little girl, she's an outstanding person, she's very smart, and she's quick to open her mind, it's really not to be underestimated."
When he saw the little girl in the red cotton jacket running towards the stone arch bridge, the brilliance in Cui Yu's eyes filled with ripples, like waves hitting rocks.
Cui Yu shifted his eyes slightly, stopped staring at the water curtain, closed his eyes slowly, and when he opened his eyes, the little girl had already run across the stone arch bridge.
Cui Yu frowned slightly, "Is it because the Dali royal family's methods are too bloody and cruel, so they aroused the natural disgust of the old sword? So that I also have some hatred for me, the person who supports the dragon. But it stands to reason that although the true history of this sword has no evidence, there are only some illusory rumors, but since it is an ancient sword, what kind of fighting scene has not been experienced before, so it is not so stingy?"
& nbs
p; The scene of the water curtain is getting closer and closer to the blacksmith's shop.
The water curtain created by the glass of water shattered without warning.
The countless water droplets that sputtered in all directions hit the walls, windows, beams, and pillars of the house, and actually exploded countless holes.
However, the beads that shot at Cui Yu and the boy seemed to hit an invisible copper wall and burst into even finer water droplets in an instant.
A Ruan Qiong's voice fell from the patio, "You don't want to make an inch!"
Cui Yu raised his head and laughed and said, "The saint is stingy. If you don't look at it, don't look at it. If you have something to say, you can talk about it. After all, this is the Yuan family's ancestral home. After I return to the capital, I will be settled by the autumn queen. What should I do?"
Cui Yu said to himself, "It's time for the remnants of the Lu dynasty to come."
Cui Yu lowered his head and glanced at the boy. After retracting his gaze, he tapped his left and right index fingers hidden in his sleeves, and said softly, "Just in case, just in case."
----
When Li Huai and Dong Shuijing took the driver to find Chen Ping'an, the latter was building a house with others.
Li Huai's eyes turned sharply.
Dong Shuijing's face was as usual, with the demeanor of a general.
Chen Ping'an, who was covered in dust, walked up to the three of them and asked suspiciously, "Are you looking for me?"
The driver was not amazing, looking like a simple and honest peasant man, rubbed his hands in front of Chen Ping'an, and whispered, "Can you say it in another place?"
Chen Ping'an shook his head and said solemnly, "Just say it here!"
Although the driver had a displeased look on his face, he felt a little more relaxed.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, "Do you know Mr. Qi from the small town school?"
The straw-shoe boy said angrily, "Who doesn't know Mr. Qi in the town, but it's hard to say whether Mr. Qi recognizes us or not."
Li Huai held back a wicked smile.
Dong Shuijing in Xinghua Alley took a deep look at Chen Ping'an in Mud Ping Alley.
Someone from the other side of the room hurriedly shouted: "Don't be lazy, the surnamed Chen, hurry up and get back to work!"
The teenager sighed and said to the driver, "Speak straight, okay?"
The man rubbed his cheeks with both hands, let out a breath, and said in a low voice, "I am a dead soldier of the Dali court, and I am responsible for protecting these children from going to Shanya Academy to study. Of course, I do not deny that I also supervise them not to be abducted by outsiders. It doesn't matter if you don't understand or believe it or not. But I don't care about your relationship with Mr. Qi, or whether you know Mr. Ma Zhan and Mr. Ma. , I hope you will be careful and safe in the near future, because Mr. Ma was killed on the way to take us to Shanya Academy. Before that, Mr. Ma occasionally chatted with me and accidentally mentioned you twice, once He said that he remembered a long time ago, when sweeping the floor, he often saw a child who liked to squat outside the window of the school. The second time was that Mr. Qi said that before he resigned as the teacher and the master of the academy, he said that you were also a seed for reading, but it was a pity that he I can't take you to Shanya Academy."
The man smiled bitterly and said, "It's just a pity for these children. Now they are really poor people who are homeless. They dare not go to the academy, and the town's home is gone. You must know that the Shanya Academy founded by Mr. Qi is not for everyone. Those who can go in and study, there are millions of people in our Dali capital, it is said that after so many years, there are only a dozen disciples from the cliff academy, and now they are all high officials."
Li Huai lowered his head, unable to see his expression clearly.
Dong Shuijing stood there, expressionless.
Ruan Xiu coughed softly in the distance, Chen Ping'an turned his head, and the girl in Tsing Yi smiled and nodded.
Chen Ping'an knew it, and only called Li Huai's name, "Li Huai, you two come here, I want to ask you something first."
Li Huai snorted and pulled Dong Shuijing forward.
When the man realized something was wrong, Chen Ping'an suddenly pulled Li Huai and Dong Shuijing behind him, and he took a step forward and said solemnly, "Thank you for saying hello to me, I will take care of Mr. Ma for these school children in the future. The husband takes care of them, I have to ask their opinions on whether to go to the capital to find their parents in the future, or what to do."
The man smiled dryly: "Chen Pingan, this is not right, after all, I can take care of their safety better than you."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's fine, I'm rich now, and I know the magistrate Wu Yuan, as well as Dong Hu, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. If there is something really wrong, I will find them. Of course, I will ask our master Ruan to help me spread the word. ."
The driver pursed his lips, glanced out of the corner of his eyes, and found a man who was not tall standing under the eaves.
The coachman, who was already ready to kill, suddenly sweated, and said to Chen Pingan with a smile: "Okay, since Mr. Ma is willing to trust you, of course I can trust your character, read it, Chen Pingan, if you need my help in the future, Go find me in Sannvzhong Alley in the north of the town, and live in the small house on the northernmost end of the alley."
Chen Ping'an smiled peacefully: "A word is settled."
The driver turned away.
Sweat dripped from Chen Ping's forehead, and he waited until the man had completely disappeared from sight before saying to the two of them: "Li Huai, Lin Shouyi, come with me to see Li Baoping." Li Huai asked, "Li Baoping has already told you Said all?"
Chen Pingan nodded.
Dong Shuijing asked, "What about Shi Chunjia and Lin Shouyi?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "It has been taken over."
Dong Shuijing glanced at him and said nothing.
It was still the temporarily empty sword-casting room. Chen Ping'an stood facing the five schoolboys who were sitting on the two benches. According to their age, they were Shi Chunjia in Riding Dragon Lane, Tao Ye. Lin Shouyi in Lane, Dong Shuijing in Xinghua Lane, Li Baoping in Fulu Street, and Li Huai in the westernmost part of the town.
Except for Li Huai, the youngest, who is far from them, the other four are actually only a few months apart from each other.
Chen Ping'an asked: "Li Huai and Dong Shuijing have already explained the situation just now. What do you think the foreigner who calls himself the dead man of Da Li wants to do?"
Lin Shouyi, who had long since disappeared, said indifferently, "We don't even know the answer to why the surnamed Cui wanted to kill Mr. Ma, so what else can we talk about?"
Shi Chunjia hugged Li Baoping's shoulder tightly, her face pale and still a little nervous, but after returning to the town, especially when she saw Chen Ping'an, who was relatively familiar, the little girl with the horns braided her heart a lot. At least there is no need to worry about suddenly turning into the miserable appearance after Mr. Ma's death. When they helped to dig a pit for burial, Shi Chunjia was so frightened that he hid in the distance, hugging his head and crying, and he couldn't help from beginning to end. Li Huai It's not much better, hiding farther away than her, with teeth fighting.
At this moment, Li Huai was holding his stomach, crying and muttering: "I'm hungry and thirsty, so-called hunger and cold, but that's it. Mom and dad, your son is living a miserable life now."
Li Baoping turned his head and stared, "Li Huai!"
Li Huai drooped his head, and secretly tugged at Dong Shuijing's sleeve sitting on the far right, "Shui Jing, are you hungry?"
Dong Shuijing said calmly, "I can pretend I'm not hungry."
Li Huai rolled his eyes.
Li Baoping was disheartened, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab Shi Chunjia's horn braid and shook it vigorously, "Actually, everything is cloudy and foggy right now, and Lin Shouyi is right, the other party is playing chess. We are too young, our top priority is to save our lives, and after confirming that it is safe, let’s talk about other things, such as quickly saying hello to the family who moved to the capital of Dali, and reporting that they are safe.”
After Li Baoping uttered the phrase "reporting the sound of safety", everyone subconsciously looked at the guy in the straw sandals opposite.
Chen Ping'an was silent for a long time and asked, "Since we can't think of what others think, let's figure out what we think."
After seeing that the five people on the opposite side had no objection, Chen Ping'an asked, "Do you want to go to the capital of Dali safely and find your parents and elders? Or?"
Li Huai cried out in pain: "My parents took my sister and I don't know where to go to enjoy the happiness, I went to the capital of the fart, just like my uncle and their family, they are really rich, and they will only bully me even more. Look at the thief, you can't be an enemy in the future?
Li Baoping bypassed Shi Chunjia and smashed it down with a chestnut, which made Li Huai lose his temper.
Dong Shuijing thought for a while, and said sullenly: "I want to study. If my parents stay in the small town, they will not study if they don't study. It's okay to help them work in the fields, but if I go to the capital, what can I do? Even They can't speak the official language of Dali, and I'm not Li Baoping, a person who can learn everything quickly. Besides, when my grandfather died, I would die in the school too, saying that if I can't be a scholar in the future, don't Go to his grave, he doesn't recognize me as a grandson. If the school in the small town continues, I will stay in the town."
Shi Chunjia blushed and said timidly, "I want to go to the capital to find my parents."
Lin Shouyi, who was sitting on the far left of the bench, frowned and said, "Where is it safe, where do I go."
Li Baoping crossed his arms around his chest, his eyes were shining, and he was in high spirits. He said loudly, "I'm going to Shanya Academy! Go to the place where Mr. Qi is studying!"
Li Baoping stood up and stood between Chen Ping'an and the four classmates Mengtong, she pointed at Dong Shuijing, "Don't talk about Da Li, the entire East Treasure Pingzhou is the most famous of Mr. Qi's Shanya Academy. If your grandfather knew that you stayed in the small town to study and didn't go to the Shanya Academy, I guess his coffin would not be covered. Of course, if you are afraid of death, don't go there. You can study here for more than ten years. It’s better to be a half-baked scholar than to die on the way to study.”
Dong Shuijing blushed when he said this to Li Baoping.
Li Baoping pointed at Lin Shouyi, "Aren't you an illegitimate child who is looked down upon by others? And do you also look down on me, a rich child born on Fulu Street, from the bottom of your heart? After you arrive at Shanya Academy, who dares to look down on you? Of course, Mr. Qi said that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. That's why you, Lin Shouyi, are willing to stay here, and I don't bother to care about you."
As soon as Shi Chunjia saw Li Baoping pointing his finger at him, he burst into tears.
Li Baoping sat back in his seat with an expression of anger and grief for his misfortune, and Li Huai wondered, "Li Baoping, why didn't you tell me?"
Li Baoping replied, "I don't want to talk to you."
Li Huai was stunned, then silently raised his head, his face full of grief and indignation.
Chen Ping'an didn't look at the other four, just looked at the little girl in the red jacket and asked, "Are you sure you want to go to Shanya Academy?"
Li Baoping nodded and said: "Mr. Qi said that the collection of books in our Shanya Academy is the best in the world! Mr. Qi also said that all my questions, even if he can't answer them, can all be obtained from the books there. Find out!"
Our cliff academy.
Obviously, the little girl has long regarded herself as a student disciple of that academy.
Chen Pingan finally asked, "Aren't you afraid of suffering?"
The aura of the little girl dropped slightly, "I'm a little scared when I'm alone."
Chen Pingan smiled brightly and said, "Okay."
Li Baoping looked blank, "Huh?"
Chen Ping'an said solemnly: "I will accompany you to that cliff academy."
Li Baoping hesitated to speak, her eyes were red, this little girl in a red cotton jacket who was not afraid of the sky, if it weren't for the four cowards sitting beside her, she would have cried aloud again.
Just like the first time I went to the creek to "catch" the crab a long time ago, in fact, she had already secretly cried outside the house, so she could be so proud after running into the house.
Chen Pingan beckoned to Li Baoping, and when Li Baoping walked behind him, he said to the other four on the bench: "You four wait here, Li Baoping and I will find someone and say something. Things will also have something to do with you. So don't be in a hurry."
Then Chen Pingan took the little girl's hand and walked to the outside of the sword casting room together.
The straw-shoe boy seemed to be talking to himself, but also to someone, "I said, what I promised must be done."
Li Baoping wiped away his tears and said, "But you also said that at that time, if you can't do it, you can say hello."
Chen Pingan shook his head and said softly, "Mr. Qi is no longer here. I said hello, but he couldn't hear me."
----
It was only about a short stick of incense sticks. Even though the young man had already walked away with the little girl in the red padded jacket, the military saint Ruan Qiong was still sitting on the small bamboo chair, and some did not regain his senses.
Ruan Xiu also sat on the chair, looking at the empty bamboo chair, her heart was numb.
The young man asks Ruan Qiong to help him buy five mountains, but he will leave the town soon. If he can’t come back, he will separate four of the five mountains, Luopo Mountain, Baolu Mountain, Caiyun Peak, and Xiancao Mountain. For Liu Xianyang, Gu Can, Ning Yao, Ruan Xiu.He only left the lonely Pearl Mountain for 300 years.
There are two adjacent shops in the town, Ye Sui and Caotou, you can ask Master Ruan to hire someone to help look after them.However, he will leave the hundreds of ordinary snake gallstones, and let Master Ruan help sell them there, and the money he earns will be used to maintain the operation of the store.Although the two shops do not need to consider making money, the young man hopes that every guy in the shop can be informed that the shop owner here is a family named Chen in Mui Ping Xiang, and their family runs it.
Then, Master Ruan had to safely send the four school boys to the capital of Dali.
As a reward, the young man handed over half of the Dragon Slaying Platform and all the remaining gold and copper coins after buying the mountain and the shop to Master Ruan.
Ruan Qiong did not refuse.
However, Ruan Qiong said that he could only guarantee that he and Li Baoping would be sent to the southern border of Dali.
Chen Pingan nodded in agreement.
In the twilight, after Chen Pingan settled his five children, he walked to the town alone.
After walking across the stone arch bridge, into the town, into the mud bottle alley, and back to his own house, the night fell, the young man looked calm and lit a lamp.
The teenagers kept watch at night in front of the lights, just like in the past every Spring Festival.
The lights flickered, reflecting the boy's silent and stoic eyes.
----
On the stone arch bridge, someone asked with a smile, "A thousand-year-old darkroom is bright with a single light. Senior, how is it?"
Someone replied: "Yes."
----
When Chen Ping'an "woke up", he found that he had seen the man for the fourth time, hovering in the air, snow-white sleeves fluttering without wind.
The man gently landed on his toes and walked towards Chen Pingan.
With each step, the man's face became clearer.
The man was still tall, but he didn't feel bloated at all.
That person turned out to be a woman.
As far as the teenager is concerned, it can only be said that she was born extremely good-looking, so that she couldn't be any more good-looking.
Standing in front of the boy, she finally stopped. She bowed her head, stared at the boy's clean eyes, and said softly, "I've been waiting for 8000 years. Chen Pingan, although your cultivation talent, Far inferior to my previous master, but it doesn't matter."
She lowered her head and leaned closer, almost touching Chen Ping's forehead, "Chen Ping'an, I want to ask you to help me talk to the four worlds outside, can you?"
Chen Pingan nodded subconsciously.
The tall woman smiled suddenly.
She suddenly knelt down on one knee, and even so, she still just raised her head slightly, and was able to look at Chen Ping'an, who was thin.
"Okay, from today, Chen Ping'an, you are my second and last master."
Chen Ping'an was stunned.
The tall woman covered in snow-white light narrowed her extremely long eyes with a smile on her lips. She knelt down on one knee and knelt to the ignorant young man. She was in high spirits. With the scenery of the mountains and rivers, she said solemnly, "Chen Pingan, please recite that oath with me. Can you?"
She stretched out a palm and gently erected it in front of the boy.
Chen Ping'an also stretched out a palm and gently clasped them together.
She closed her eyes and said slowly: "The way of heaven collapses, I, Chen Ping'an, have only one sword to move mountains, break rivers, overturn seas, subdue demons, suppress demons, decree gods, pick stars, destroy cities, and open the sky!"
The young man followed in her heart and said silently: "The way of heaven collapses, I am Chen Ping'an, only one sword can move mountains, break rivers, overturn seas, subdue demons, suppress demons, decree gods, pick stars, destroy cities, and open the sky!"
