Sword of Coming

At noon, the sun is in the sky.

Chen Ping'an put the bamboo pole on the ground, stood up, raised his toes, picked up the wine jug, took a sip of the wine, "talk while walking."

Lu Chen temporarily lived in the old man's lodging, and took a walk by the stream with Chen Ping'an.

In the eyes of others, it doesn't seem strange. Uncle Bai, who is the mining officer of Jade Mountain, is old and has always been friends with outsiders.

Chen Ping'an said: "It's just a false image created out of thin air. Why did Zhangjiao make such a move to recruit teachers and move the crowd? He did not hesitate to violate the ritual system of the Confucian Temple and sneak into the vast world without authorization. Unless..."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Unless Pindao originally had one of his thoughts, he never took it back, and it was always floating in Haoran for a long time. Since Pindao didn't come from Baiyujing, it's not a violation of the rules of the Confucian Temple."

Chen Ping'an shook his head, "Unless Headmaster Lu wants to enter the fifteenth realm immediately, to fill the vacancy after Master's dispersal and before Big Headmaster returned to Baiyujing, so as to shock the fourteen states of Qingming. It can be regarded as a ferry boat, presumably Qingming is also the same, just as there is an old saying, 'If you don't cultivate morality, all people in the boat will be enemies. There is an answer in this heart. As a result, after deductions, Zhangjiao Lu found that the current situation was broken, and the possibility of success was reduced without warning. He felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it, he thought of me. How long can the teacher stay here, a quarter of an hour? Or a stick of incense?"

"Chen Pingan, you're not a hard-to-guess person. Divide your mind and take risks. You want to bring the world in your heart to the truth, and use techniques to approach the truth. As a result, you are seen through by outsiders. Ordinary monks will still be indecisive, think about it. A compromise, you are different, there are only two choices, one is to wait and see the change and bet on a false alarm; Then, while notifying the Confucian Temple sages sitting in the sky to close the door and helping to stare at the barrier between heaven and earth, you called Mr. Mo and Miss Xie to block the road. Chen Ping'an, after so many years, it seems that you still haven't completely changed this kind of right or wrong. thoughts and ideas.”

The two "daoist friends" who had a rather complicated relationship, reunited in a foreign country, but here they are talking in different ways.

"What's the difference between an idea and a train of thought?"

"Thoughts can be boundless and boundless, but ideas are organized and organized."

Chen Pingan nodded, "Does this count as a difference in mind? For example, the same path gradually develops sensibility and rationality."

Lu Chen smiled and said: "Heaven learns to cultivate the mind, and people learn to cultivate one's body. The body is at peace and happiness, that is, the gods and people. It may be said in a general way, and the poor Taoist will give a simple example, the tablet of the gods of later generations, the patriarch's hall on the mountain, and the folk ancestral hall below the mountain. There are also imperial temples in Yiguo. They are generally used to worship ancestors and ancestors. The gods and gods are set to die. The names of the deceased are written among the gods. The small characters on the side are the names of the gods and ancestors. If there is a real difference in the mind, who is the master and who is the second?”

Chen Ping'an wondered, "Can you make a metaphor like that?"

"certainly."

Lu Chen said, "No!"

Chen Ping'an turned his head, if it wasn't for Uncle Bai's body, he really wanted to punch him.

Lu Chen said: "Pin Dao is just to prove that you guessed wrong. There is no time limit for a quarter of an hour and a stick of incense. Pin Dao can stay as long as he wants in Haoran World, and the Confucian Temple can't control Pin Dao."

Chen Ping'an suddenly said: "Actually, I was wrong at the beginning. Human sensibility and rationality do not actually diverge from two paths, but go together in the same vein. There is sensibility before rationality, no, it is rationality before sensibility. , the difference between heaven and human desires? Just like what you call the gods who are enshrined and the worshipers... trace the origin, you can go back to the ancestors of a surname, and then go up... the body is in the person, and the heart is in the heart. sky?"

The little chicken Lu Chen pecking at the rice, nodded vigorously, "Oh, to be able to explain it like this, isn't it because the poor road gave a blind cat to see a dead mouse. It's wonderful."

Lu Chen first raised his head to look at the sun, then looked around, and shook his sleeves, "It really is a big word, and the words of the Dao are like a raging fire.

Chen Pingan sighed: "Master Lu is amazing, I found my second clone so quickly."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Anyway, if you have nothing to do, it's better to guess the riddle and solve the problem."

With a snort, Lu Chen turned his body and walked sideways, looking at Chen Ping'an's profile, "This place knows that the guests are old, the Taoist priest Wu Di of Yuxuan, plus the avatar of the mangosteen, this is already three minds, and then again. In addition, the 'God Master' of the village school at the foot of the mountain in Yunzhou, who opened the hall and studied, must not move around very much, not moving like a mountain, that is, it is like the north pole in the sky, pulling in a straight line from afar. Could it be that the rest of the clones are divided into seven roads? Well, Pindao finally figured it out. It turned out to be a Big Dipper array of the heaven and earth. Did Master Chen get the inspiration from the Golden Summit of Tongyezhou? It is a great honor. Since the world is determined by the rise and fall of the sun and the moon, and the north and south are determined by the purple star, this means that the seven minds of Chen Shanzhu are attached to the avatar of Fulu. Are there certain restrictions on the scope of activities in Pingzhou? The hiding places of the remaining three clones, Rong Pindao guessed, Daliyu Prefecture, the area of ​​Qingxing Country south of Dadu, the last one, a little difficult Guess... Anyway, in order to protect the seven grains of mind from being intercepted by the monks, and to break them down, Shanzhu Chen really put a lot of thought into it."

With such a formation, Chen Ping's distraction, which was originally a very risky act, became much more stable. Through the big formation, it was like setting up a life-continuing lamp for the seven souls scattered all over the place.

Unless they were deliberately targeted by the great monks of the Unpredictable Prophet, it would be difficult for the Earth Immortals of Aquarius Continent to strip off and detain the minds of their clones. Human Qi practitioners don't even have a soul. When Chen Ping'an's mind disappeared and returned to the "Patriarch Hall", revealing the true face of the talisman and puppet, those cultivators would understand that they had provoked something they shouldn't have provoked. Role.

Chen Ping'an said: "Actually, there are two auxiliary hidden stars, who are responsible for cooperating from the side, lest the earth immortal will break a certain talisman paper too easily, and the whole body will fall short, so I must immediately take back all the talisman clones. "

Lu Chen sighed and said, "No wonder when you were in Mud Bottle Alley, you would tell Pindao that you have a good memory and remember everything you see."

At that time, the young man with straw sandals in the mud bottle alley would still respectfully call himself Daochang Lu, which is really nostalgic.

From Daoist Lu, Lu Chen, the bastard, to the current Headmaster Lu, I feel very sad.

Lu Chen is now glad that he didn't leave this trip in vain. It is definitely a worthwhile trip. The current Chen Ping'an is considered to be practicing in the mountains, and he has already reached the middle of the mountain. The so-called halfway of the mountain by Lu Chen is different from ordinary Qi practitioners. The location where you can see the scenery on the top of the mountain is qualified to be said to be halfway up the mountain, which has no absolute relationship with the level of the realm. For example, many great cultivators of the Ascension Realm have never found an opportunity for the path in their lives. In Lu Chen's eyes, it is still the kind of future The layman on the mountainside.

Now, Chen Ping'an has found a very broad "kendo" by virtue of the superposition of the two flying swords' life and magical powers, that is, through seeing, hearing, hearsay, and imagining many methods, one after another small thousand worlds are assembled. If It is said that before returning to Haoran World from the Great Wall of Sword Qi, it was just a slightly immature idea, then when Chen Ping'an began to refine a long river of time through gold and copper coins, especially this trip to the outside world has improved a "moon in the well" The rank of the flying sword, Chen Ping'an's avatars, the seven "Chen Ping'an", everything that he saw, heard, thought, and thought in the different worlds of Aquarius Island is a kind of real world all the time. As the "refining sword" that sharpens the sword in the Dragon Slaying Platform.

This way of practicing swordsmanship makes Lu Chen feel a lot more eye-opening.

For example, what I saw in the wine bureau today, Bai Ni, Xiahou Zan and Liang Yuping, the three people's body, appearance, eyebrows, voice, tone, attitude, look, have been "recorded" by Zhike, and they have been quietly integrated into the main body Chen Pingan's swordsmanship world.

In short, all the characters and landscapes are a "word" or "word" on the road that Chen Ping'an walks on, so the banquet at the Sanhua Beach in Caiyu Mountain seems to form a "sentence". ".

The more words that make up this sentence, the more complex, and the more detailed the content, the closer it is to the "truth" that is opposed to the "fake".

As Lu Chen asked before, is there time in the world? Is a one composed of an infinite number of stationary stills? When Lu Chen said this, he regarded the whole world as a book that was completely static. When Lu Chen identified "the one", he started to turn the book, and the characters and scenes in the book would flow "consciously" and "passively". . And this statement by Lu Chen is obviously of the same origin and different from that of Li Xisheng.

Suddenly forgetting a certain word, and suddenly remembering a certain thing, it seems that I have experienced...

Life is alive, how sad. The grief of unfounded worry and the cry of the end of the road made Lu Chen feel sad.

It's like Chen Ping'an was out of the sky before, and on the way back to Haoran with Xiaomo and Bai Jing Yufeng, Bai Jing threw him a stack of paper with pictures of ancient landscapes. At that time, Chen Ping'an felt like a little book, more like Pei Qian in class Drawing a certain little person on the corner of the page, in different poses, and quickly turning the page, is a complete set of actions.

Therefore, when Chen Ping'an, the writer of the book, picks out "this sentence" separately and puts it into the long river of time in the cage, others will see it in the future, and they will feel more real.

If it is a banquet today, it is a short sentence, then Taoist Wu Di is in the house in Yongning County, the capital of Yuxuan Kingdom, the female ghost Xue Ruyi, the young Zhang Hou, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard, plus going out every day Drinking drinks with those yamen subordinate officials, chatting on the street, setting up stalls to tell people's fortune-telling... It's a "long sentence" that has been stretched to several months.

And the "false appearance" of Lu Chen is the sect of all laws, like the first... God Lord tablet.

But when Chen Ping'an was chatting with Li-Xisheng, when the two sides talked about Zou Zi, Chen Ping'an thought, once had an idea that as an anchor for the positioning of the river, it could not be Lu Shen.

This is Chen Pingan's self-deception similar to an inertial "thought".

And this method of first deceiving oneself, then deceiving others, and then deceiving the sky was naturally learned by Chen Ping'an and Cui Yu, but unfortunately they could not learn everything. , know the answer to the test question, and then go back and trace an extremely tedious problem-solving process. At the same time, it happened to be this kind of superfluous self-deception. Chen Ping'an had this thought, which was equivalent to saying that Lu Chen's name was taboo. This made Lu Chen, who was also watching from afar, suddenly noticed something was wrong, and he also began to push back. ...It was another lingering fear, even not inferior to the impending ambush of the previous Sword Qi Great Wall, and if Lu Chen never left the Qingming World, did not join in the fun, and was isolated from the heavenly secret by a big world, Maybe this thread will be missed.

Lu Chen's return to Haoran this time is really not illegal "smuggling", but reported to Li Sheng in advance.

There is really a serious matter coming, as for seeing Chen Ping'an, it's just a drop in.

"Rong Pindao calculates it again. This year's Qingming Day, the mouth of the seven-star array of Chen Shanzhu points to...the Yongjia Street in the capital of Yuxuan Kingdom?!"

Lu Chen has always learned to walk with crabs, followed in the footsteps of Chen Ping'an, and asked, "It's just a horse Kuxuan, is it worth your distraction to confer a god?"

Lu Chen's so-called Fengshen is not the title of Fengzheng, but the title of ban and mountain.

Chen Ping'an and Ma Kuxuan knew very well that there was an old debt, and some people collected the debt and some paid it back.

Maybe two, maybe three. If Ma Kuxuan had to stop him, it might be three or four.

will die.

Lu Chen turned around and kicked the stone on the road into the stream with one foot, "It stands to reason that even if Ma Kuxuan's parents can become gods of mountains and rivers all the way, and invisibly get the protection of the divine way of the Monarch Mansion of Xiyue Mountain in one continent, so what? Live your revenge?"

"Yes, yes, it turns out that it is indeed a bit tricky."

"This couple is actually going to join the ranks of the City God and obtain the amulet of the official ultimatum of the underworld, which is a fork in the road with the gods of mountains and rivers. Oh, more than a amulet, it is the most veritable life-saving amulet in the world."

"It's strange, how to do it, with the mean behavior of Ma Kuxuan's parents, even if they want to rely on various acts of kindness,

Accumulating yin and virtue ranks in this list, but Fengdu Hades has had the iron rule of 'doing good at heart is not rewarded' since ancient times. People in the world, even if they are proficient in the yin laws of the underworld, want to accumulate merits and exploit loopholes, then this threshold alone , they are destined to be unable to cross, and it is pure wishful thinking to want to be the high-ranking City God. "

Chen Ping'an finally said: "Ma Kuxuan is very smart, he has long deliberately bypassed the two of them, secretly arranged manpower in the capital of Yuxuan Kingdom, and only forced his parents to do certain things, but deliberately did not explain the reason. He did not even allow them to ask why, and he used extremely harsh words to warn or even intimidate his parents."

"It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Ma Kuxuan does the opposite. It may be a bit slower, but it is effective."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "When did Ma Kuxuan start this plan?"

Chen Ping'an said: "It's not too late, and it's definitely not too early. Back then, the Ma family in Xinghuaxiang moved out of the town together with the group of relatives, directly out of the Dali Dynasty at that time, and went to the Yuxuan country in the border of Xiyue. At that time, Ma Kuxuan was arrogant and arrogant. He didn't think I was qualified to be his enemy. The reason why he let his parents move out of his hometown was probably because he was worried about their fate. He was more like Cai Jinjian and Fu Nanhua. To practice in Zhenwu Mountain, it is impossible to stare at Lizhu Cave all the time."

"When I left the Sword Qi Great Wall for the first time and returned to Aquarius Island, especially when I walked out of Shujian Lake, Ma Kuxuan might have become wary, but a larger proportion is that he deliberately disgusted me and made me want to take revenge. But I was unable to take revenge for a long time, and I even felt hopeless for revenge for the rest of my life, and wanted me to live in hatred and guilt for the rest of my life. When I served as the hidden officer of the Great Wall of Sword Qi and the news came back to Haoran World, Ma Kuxuan began to really regard me as In order to threaten, I carefully studied what was done in front of and behind the scenes of the Ma's stage in Yuxuan Kingdom. It was in those few years that the younger brothers of various houses began to make frequent shots, and even began to try to pass the imperial examinations of their descendants, get official orders, shine on the lintel, and later on. Trying to get one or several people to get the imperial posthumous title, posthumously to the family, and many other measures, all began to be carried out step by step, the only accident is that Ma Kuxuan did not expect that I would catch up with him so quickly."

The last time Luopao Mountain visited Zhengyang Mountain, Ma Kuxuan had followed the advice of Yu Shiwu of Zhenwu Mountain.

It's a pity that Chen Ping'an almost dismantled the entire Zhengyang Mountain, and still did not give Ma Kuxuan the chance to take action.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "When Ma Kuxuan's parents become the city gods of the Yuxuan country, I believe that the first thing they will clean up will be the evil-doers in the Ma family, and they will be able to secure their golden bodies. The Temple of the City God. Gao Sheng, the civil judge, was transferred out of the capital of Yuxuan Kingdom. Ji Xiaoping, the former head of the Yin and Yang Division, was promoted to the literary judge. bit."

Lu Chen smiled and said: "As expected of Ma Kuxuan, he is entrusted with good intentions."

The city gods at all levels in a country are different from the gods of mountains and rivers. Although the Wuyueshanjun has the right to govern the two, the real superior of the former is the Fengdu Underworld. In short, the Wuyueshanjun can directly decide the promotion of the landscape gods and even the Life and death can be claimed, but it is not qualified to punish the city gods at all levels, and must be handed over to Fengdu for conviction according to the law. That is to say, the Dayue Mountain Monarch's Mansion has part of the right to convict the city gods at all levels, but no execution power.

In the Shanshui officialdom, the Temple of the City God is like the censor’s desk of the imperial court of a country.

Of course, Ma Kuxuan was able to do this because Lizhudongtian formed a cycle of heaven and earth. In the past, the life and death and sins of the people in the small town were not controlled by the underworld and the underworld within Fengdu.

Lu Chen asked, "Is there a way to crack it?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "Yes."

"The kind of way that your sword cultivators are unreasonable once in a while?"

"On the contrary, follow the rules. Not to mention the City God Temple of the Yuxuan Kingdom, and the Fengdu Underworld, there is no fault at all. Since there is no fault, there is no way to protect Ma Kuxuan's parents according to the laws of the underworld, and in the end they can only be fair. Act without favoritism. If you don't do this, you will only be entangled, and when will the grievances be repaid. The previous generation's grievances and grievances, our generation should thoroughly understand, repaying kindness and revenge, and not leaving it to the next generation. "

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Ma Kuxuan has been thinking about everything, and he lost everything. Wouldn't he be mad at you."

Chen Ping'an said, "His mind is tenacious, and he can't be mad at him."

Lu Chen was speechless.

Pindao is just joking with you, you don't need to be so rigid.

Lu Chen changed a more pleasing topic, "Chen Ping'an, you are really acting like a guest."

Previously, Lu Chen had suggested that Chen Ping'an should be a acquaintance who was sent to us when he had the opportunity, which would be very interesting.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Being kind is like a flow."

Lu Shenshen sighed, "What you see with your eyes is the world, how precious and how fragile a person's memory is."

The setting sun is about to set, and the purple and green are in all shapes and sizes, changing in an instant, like a dream.

No, isn't it noon, why is it sunset?

Too big, too big, Lu Chen knew something was wrong, and immediately closed his eyes and opened them again.

Often walking by the river without wet shoes, miserable.

You, Chen Ping'an, are too reluctant to remember the old feelings. Pindao is the old Yue Lao who helps you and Ning's red line!

By the river, Uncle Bai sat beside the apricot tree and asked, "How many fish have you caught?"

The squatting Chen Ping'an held a fishing rod and smiled: "There is no catch for the time being, only one big fish has bit the bait, but even if he is hooked, he may not be able to walk ashore."

Uncle Bai smiled and said, "You're a Qi trainer anyway, but you still can't catch a fish?"

Chen Pingan raised his face and nodded and said, "The fish has become fine."

Uncle Bai laughed dumbly, and the stinky boy is quite good at telling jokes.

In a bizarre and mysterious realm, Lu Chen and a Lu Chen looked at each other, like looking in a mirror, so there were countless Lu Chens in the eyes of both sides.
