Sword of Coming

Cao Gengxin came to a house in a secluded alley in the capital, took out a key, opened the courtyard door, and entered the small courtyard. The ground was covered with dust and fallen leaves, and there was a smell of corruption. The house had been unoccupied for a long time. Just faster.

This is the first time that Cao Gengxin has stepped into the courtyard. He had been barred from entering the previous few times because someone had told Cao Supervisor at the time in a secret letter to come here in the future when he succeeded the Grand Master of the Great Li Kingdom. While opening the courtyard, a meeting was held, but what was discussed and who was summoned were not explained in the letter. The other party just gave Cao Gengxin a title that would not receive a salary from the court or be included in the imperial official list. There was actually a person in the courtyard. The small well, Cao Gengxin squatted at the mouth of the well and looked inside for a while. It was dark, and it didn't look like a corpse, nor did it look like the entrance to a dragon palace on land. It had no bad luck, no fortune, and no chance of an affair. Cao Gengxin So he threw a stone in, and there was a bang. Fortunately, he could fetch water. After fetching water, Cao Gengxin went to the utility room to get a broom and dustpan, and began to clean the courtyard. The main house and the side rooms on both sides were empty and destitute, but that was all.

After Cao Gengxin finished these things, he sat at the mouth of the well, took off the small purple gourd wine flask with shiny pulp on his waist, uncorked the wine, raised his head and took a sip of the Changchun wine gifted by the palace.

There is a Spring Festival couplet pasted at the door of the main house. However, over time, the wind, rain, and scorching sun year after year, the original Spring Festival couplet made of red paper has long turned white, and the writing is as unclear as a stone tablet, and the first couplet has been lost. first half.

The writing is dull and follows what others say.

Heaven is going to mourn the loss of Si Wen. I am the one who reveals the way. It is helpful to open the book. Si Wen is here.

Cao Gengxin drank about three ounces of wine, but he didn't even think about how to complete the couplet, so he gave up angrily. He took out a jade tablet from his sleeve and had "Earthly Branches" written in seal script.

According to the complicated method on the letter, pouring spiritual energy into the jade tablet is like writing the word "Earthly Branches" in different stroke sequences.

After a while, two groups of people rushed to the small courtyard one after another. Cao Gengxin looked calm. This was something he had thought about before he was about to call people. He had to pretend to be a bit like a fairy on the mountain. He couldn't be frightened. He just waited until Cao Shilang opened his mouth. When he saw that Zhou Haichao was among them, he looked a little unnatural, just because his uncle Cao Ping once called Cao Gengxin to the study before going to the Rizhui Ferry in the wild world. One of the things he did was Let Cao Gengxin, the eldest brother, get married and have a son. If Cao Pang still doesn't have a single character when he returns to Dali, I believe Cao Pang will definitely take out the jade belt from his waist and let Cao Shilang have a full meal similar to fried pork with bamboo whip. At that time Cao Gengxin used this female grandmaster as a shield, but he never thought that Cao Ping would take it seriously.

There are no official positions in the hospital.

So when Cao Gengxin saw the prince Song Xu, he didn't get up to say hello.

Yuan Huajing asked: "Cao Gengxin, how come you have this jade tablet?"

Because according to the rules of the Earthly Branches, seeing this jade tablet is like seeing Cui Zhan.

Yu Yu smiled and said: "It's just passed by and will be handed over to Mr. Chen soon. Does this count as the property returning to its original owner?"

Cao Gengxin smiled and said: "That's not necessarily the case. However, a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs can take care of twelve of you. You guys seem to have lost your price a bit."

There are a lot of talents, and there are magical experts in the courtyard, and they have an ethereal aura.

A descendant of the Yuan family of Shangzhu Kingdom, Yuan Huajing, a swordsman in Yuanyingjing. Song Xu, Prince of Dali, is a sword cultivator in the Golden Core Realm. Han Zhoujin is a female formation master who was born in Qingtan Paradise of Shengaozong. Yu Yu is a military monk who was born in the Yu family of Shangzhu Kingdom. Capital Daolu, Jurong Renshi, Geling. The novice monk of the Sutra Translation Bureau was awakened later. Sui Lin, a Qi practitioner from the Yin Yang family. Confucian scholar Lu Hui. Ghost repair, change beauty. A boy born as a monster survives. Hard work. The only pure martial artist, Zhou Haijing, who was born as a seaside fisherman and a mountain master.

Cao Gengxin only knew most of the twelve people from the Earthly Branch of Dali.

A moment later, a man in green shirt appeared in the alley. He bent his fingers and knocked gently on the courtyard door. Then he led Xiao Mo across the threshold and entered the courtyard. Xiao Mo gently closed the courtyard door.

Cao Gengxin stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."

Chen Pingan shook his sleeves, the smell of alcohol on his body drifted away in the wind, and said with a smile: "I was not polite to Mr. Cao. I just took Liu Xu and the others to the Changpu River Restaurant, and I never thought of telling him the name of Mr. Cao there. Not only were the drinks not discounted, they were doubled, and we were not allowed to leave. I asked if we could not keep accounts, but the restaurant said no. We couldn’t leave even if we wanted to. They dragged us and refused to let us go, saying that they could help Mr. Cao pay back the debt. A drink debt is a debt.”

Even Yuan Huajing couldn't help but glance at Cao Gengxin.

Lu Hui and Kushou had suffered a lot from Mr. Chen, and they almost didn't have the thumbs up from Mr. Cao.

This daring Minister Cao really wanted to die.

You said it's not good for you to cheat anyone. How dare you cheat this Mr. Chen?

Just talking about Lu Hui, Chen Ping'an's "Hua Kai", which was both boxing and swordsmanship, was instantly pierced by dozens of long swords. There was also a female ghost who changed her appearance to beauty. At that time, I didn't see how "that Chen Ping'an" cared about her beauty. He chopped her into pieces on the spot with the "Pianyue" sword move that was said to be his own creation.

Only Zhou Haichao, who entered the industry late, doesn't know the pros and cons yet, and she doesn't know the consequences of provoking Chen Ping'an. So she sensed that something was not right in the atmosphere in the hospital, and became more curious. These geniuses among geniuses are not very arrogant on my side. Why is it that when seeing Chen Ping'an today, it's like a mouse seeing a cat? What's the matter?

Cao Gengxin said with embarrassment: "Is retribution coming so quickly?"

Chen Pingan explained to them: "Xiao Mo said that you suddenly gathered in a place, so I was a little curious. Since it is Minister Cao who summoned you here, there is nothing wrong with me."

Cao Gengxin hurriedly said: "It has something to do with it. Mr. Chen can't stay out of it. Cui Guoshi has something to say and asked me to say it publicly in front of both of you."

Gou Cun was a smart person, so he moved a bench inside the house to give Mr. Chen a place to sit.

As a result, Gaiyan snatched it away and placed it next to Chen Pingan.

Based on Mr. Chen's good words in the Ministry of War Yamen, Gaiyan, the innkeeper, can sit on her as long as Mr. Chen is willing, let alone move a bench!

When changing the bench, she saw the young man with the yellow hat and blue shoes smiling at her, so she smiled back.

Gaiyan only knew that he was Mr. Chen's personal attendant, and they once went to the palace together to meet the Queen Mother.

Chen Ping'an thanked Gaiyan, sat on the bench, and said with a smile, "Tell me, I'll listen."

Cao Gengxin said: "Just two sentences, one sentence is for Yuan Jianxian and the others. Those who have waist cards in the courtyard today will be under my jurisdiction from now on, and will not be deployed by the new Imperial Preceptor of Da Li. However, the new Imperial Preceptor can make suggestions, that's all. . The second sentence is addressed to Mr. Chen. In fact, Cui Guoshi’s letter did not mention his name... I will repeat it. I will say it exactly as it is written in the letter, 'Your heart is not dark enough and your actions are not ruthless enough. , there is no way to make good use of this group of people, just like a sword in its scabbard, it will only wear away the sword's will for a long time, and it will only lose its sharpness, making them become tasteless and useless."

Chen Pingan nodded, put his hands in his sleeves, smiled, and then asked: "Senior Brother Cui thinks I am not good at it, but you are qualified?"

Cao Gengxin choked on his words for a moment. This question is not easy to answer.

Yu Yu's eyes shone brightly and he said in his heart: "It's coming, it's coming, bet it. I bet Mr. Chen will cut Cao Geng's heart, at least give him a sword or give him a punch."

Gaiyan immediately echoed: "Let's not gamble this time. Bet that Changchun Palace's wine is ready."

Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand and said, "Take the letter and have a look at it. Before I went to Changpu River to drink, of course I could trust Cao Duzao, who is an official in my hometown and has a good reputation. It's hard to say now."

Cao Gengxin said helplessly: "At the end of the letter, Cui Guoshi specifically reminded me to destroy it after reading it. It really doesn't give Mr. Chen any evidence."

Chen Ping'an asked: "Then let's use a simpler way of proof. How can you prove that you are ruthless enough?"

Cao Gengxin glanced at the twelve Earthly Branches, then looked at the man wearing a green shirt and long coat sitting on the bench, took off the wine gourd, lifted it, and said with a smile: "Before I say a few words of truth, Mr. Chen, Let me drink some wine to strengthen my courage?"

Chen Ping'an picked up his long green gown, changed into a sitting position with his legs crossed, stretched out his palms, and said with a smile: "You can do whatever you want."

Cao Gengxin took a sip of wine, lowered his head, raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, raised his head, squinted and smiled, "If I had entered this courtyard earlier, Yuan Huajing and the other twelve people would probably be in Aquarius Continent by now. At the entrance of certain capitals and ancestral halls in the south, the head of the emperor of a certain country and the corpse of the leader of a certain mountain were doubled, making a total of twenty-four."

"Before returning to Dali, leave a reminder to the imperial court and the Immortal Mansion. If you see any bad news or obituary mentioning these unexpected accidents in any Shanshui Di newspaper, or make unreasonable speculations or false accusations, Put the blame on a certain dynasty in the north, and in return, the dragon chair in their court and the head of the mountain will remain empty, with no one sitting on it."

When Cao Gengxin finished speaking, the courtyard became silent.

Cao Gengxin glanced at a pair of thousand-layer cloth shoes on the other side of the bench. One was on the ground and the other was hanging in the air.

“It is easy to hunt justice with injustice, but it is difficult to hunt injustice with justice.”

After Cao Gengxin said these words, he took another big sip of wine, making a squeaking sound, and left the wine gourd, "Every country in the world has its own temples, and it is natural to hunt the unjust with the unjust. Do you think so, Master Chen?"

Yu Yu opened her mouth wide, she made a fist with one hand and waved it hard.

Cao Gengxin's penultimate sentence really spoke to her heart.

Chen Pingan nodded, "Leaving aside isolated cases, it's the same principle."

Cao Gengxin sighed, as if he never expected such an answer. This sentence makes a lot of sense, but it doesn’t make sense at all.

Chen Ping'an stood up and asked with a smile: "Cao Gengxin, from now on you will act as one lineage, do I have the right to know in advance and the right to veto?"

Cao Geng thought: "Cui Guoshi didn't say this in the letter."

Chen Ping'an said: "That's it."

Cao Gengxin was speechless and could only sigh heavily.

He suddenly asked: "Mr. Chen really took his friends to the Changpu River?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Fortunately, I came here after drinking to strengthen my courage. If you talk about yourselves, I won't stay here and get in the way."

Chen Ping'an left the courtyard with the attendant and gradually walked out of the alley.

Cao Gengxin, who listened carefully to the footsteps, was sure that they were far away, so he sat down on the mouth of the well, opened his collar to fan himself, and began to drink alone to calm down his shock.

Gou Cun walked to the bench and wanted to move back to his original position, but was stopped by Gaiyan. Gou Cun looked confused, but Gaiyan said confidently that she wanted to move to the inn and use it as a treasure.

Yu Yu sat on the steps outside the main house and praised: "Doubling the number of Cao, that's good, that's good!"

Yu Yu is not old, and her family has a high level of seniority. She has long heard about the legendary deeds of the previous generation such as Cao Gengxin, Yuan Zhengding and Liu Xunmei in Yichi Lane and Chier Street where wealthy families gather. Yu Yu Those of the younger generation like Zhao Duanming all know that Cao Gengxin made a fortune by selling pornographic novels and pornographic pictures. When Cao Gengxin became a local official, the old people heaved a sigh of relief, and this scourge was finally gone.

Cao Gengxin said helplessly: "This nickname doesn't sound good."

Yu Yu smiled and said: "It sounds better than Cao Thief."

It turns out that among the two generations who care about Yichi Lane and Chier Street, they are all accustomed to calling Cao Gengxin Cao Thief. He is a good person in making money, arrogating fire, tricking younger children to drink, and seducing older sisters. .

Zhou Haichao leaned against the doorpost of a wing with his arms folded across his chest and asked with a smile: "Is what Mr. Cao just said the truth?"

Cao Gengxin glanced at the woman's arm, not daring to look further, and said with a wry smile: "There are fake wines, let alone the words that are spoken."

Song Xu said: "What you did has too many consequences. No matter how secretive we are, Guanhu Academy is not a fool."

Cao Gengxin smiled and said, "Just to get through with Guoshi Chen, I have no choice but to say it, I don't believe it myself, so what do you believe?"

Zhou Haichao joked: "Cao Gengxin, you are just a minister, how can you talk to His Highness the Prince?"

Cao Gengxin laughed it off, but dogs couldn't change their habit of eating shit, so he took the opportunity to take another look at the round scenery on her side.

Last time he took Zhao Duanming to the rooftop to watch the ring competition, but the distance was too far and the view was not realistic enough.

Yuan Huajing asked: "Does Mr. Cao have any other instructions?"

Cao Gengxin smiled and said: "Each go back to your home and meet again if you have something to do. Since there is nothing to do today, let's go back home."

Gaiyan and a group of people returned to the inn, each practicing swords or Qi in a snail shell dojo.

Following Mr. Chen's suggestion, Gaiyan took the initiative to talk to Zhou Haichao about the idea of ​​doing business together and expanding the inn business together.

Zhou Haichao's eyes lit up. He didn't even say whether it was okay or not, and directly talked to Gaiyan about how to split the accounts. She said loudly that she wanted to split the accounts 50-50 with Gaiyan.

If she had heard that Zhou Haichao was so dishonest before, Gaiyan would have just told her to get lost. Today Gaiyan was confident and didn't panic at all, so she talked about some of her "experiences" and told Zhou Haichao what would happen next at the inn. Zhou Haichao was shocked and confused after hearing the "Business Book" on how to operate. Could it be that this fool Gaiyan was possessed by a ghost? No, she is a female ghost herself. Then Gaiyan is... suddenly enlightened, like a divine help? !

It was similar to boxing in the ring. Once the momentum weakened, it would be difficult to bargain. Zhou Haichao had no choice but to give in and fight Gaiyan Sanqi.

Then a young female nun who had just been "retrenched" from the door came to discuss the matter with the innkeeper. She said that there were several foreign guests from Luzhou, Beiju, and a young man who was taken advantage of asked if he could go directly to the inn. They bought the two houses next to the water, "Luzhou Moon" and "Caiyunjian". As long as the inn nodded and sold them these two houses, they guaranteed to move in for at least one month within a year, and the remaining eleven The inn can be open to the public for months or longer. As for other guests staying at the hotel, all the income will go to the inn.

Gaiyan was stunned when she heard this. Have you met a fool who has too much money and no place to spend it?

Zhou Haijing asked: "The certificates of several of them have been recorded. What are their identities?"

The young female cultivator said: "Yuan Xuan, Fan Yu, Liu Wuding of Sanlang Temple. Luo Ma He Liu Xu."

Zhou Haijing grinned and said: "Good guy, the Yuan family of Sanlang Temple and the Liu family of Luomahe are all the richest people in Luzhou, Beiju! They must double the original price, and then double it again!"

Gaiyan said to the young female cultivator: "Just tell the manager and sell it to them at the cost price."

Zhou Haijing said angrily: "Change Yan, you can't make money even if you have money, are you out of your mind?!"

Gaiyan said: "Liu Xu has been to the Great Wall of Sword Qi, and Fan Yu has been to our Dali capital battlefield."

Zhou Haijing looked straight at Gaiyan.

Gaiyan said: "It depends on what I do, we just get together and break up the gang, everyone goes back to their own homes, from now on I will only earn my small money."

Zhou Haijing suddenly smiled, "Okay, okay, you are the shopkeeper, I am just the second shopkeeper, you have the final say. I used to think you were stupid because you didn't know how to make money."

Gaiyan smiled and asked, "What now?"

Zhou Haijing said: "That's really stupid."

Gaiyan raised her eyebrows and said, "Say it again!"

Zhou Haijing asked the female cultivator to talk to the inn steward about the incident, then winked at Gaiyan and said with a smile: "How about you lend me the bench that was moved from the small courtyard? I am a pure martial artist, so I can enjoy it." Literary luck and immortality.”

Gaiyan glared and said, "You bitch, you are so unruly!"

Zhou Haijing said with a smile: "Who was it at the door of the house? When he saw Mr. Chen, he was like a hungry tiger pouncing on a sheep, and tried his best to get close to him."

Gaiyan blushed and said, "Isn't that just a joke with Mr. Chen?"

Zhou Haijing lowered his voice and said, "I think Chen Pingan is still a young child."

Gaiyan waved her sleeves and closed the door. We couldn't have a good chat.

Leaving the alley, Chen Pingan took Xiaomo for a stroll in the capital.

Xiao Mo said: "Chief Zhou asked Wei Shanjun to help and has returned to Luopo Mountain."

When it comes to detecting the ripples of the qi training machine and the circulation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Xiao Mo is actually better than Bai Jing. It is precisely because of this special skill that thousands of years ago, he and Bai Jing would only have three sword fights. Otherwise, Not to mention being forced to take the sword in three games, it's possible in thirty games.

Chen Ping'an asked with a smile: "Did you get dumped in the Changchun Palace? Chief Zhou had no choice but to scold him and run away because of his face."

I remember that when I first visited Luzhou, Beiju, I heard about many of Jiang Shangzhen's notorious deeds there, such as the way a mountain top only provoked one female cultivator, and the way a martial arts sect only deceived one female warrior. What a stinky problem.

If Jiang Shangzhen had not used a pseudonym to serve as the chief worshipper, Chen Pingan would not have been able to imagine Luolu Mountain's reputation among the three continents of Baoping, Tongye, and Beijulu Mountains today.

Xiao Mo smiled and said, "I don't know the specific details."

He still respects Chief Zhou very much. When the young master's downfall has not yet come to light, Chief Zhou is always throwing money at him. This is not the icing on the cake, but a timely help.

A piece of money given in times of difficulty is better than a piece of gold given to a noble person. What's more, at that time, all Chief Zhou was throwing money at was Guyu money.

Therefore, Xiao Mo felt that unless the young master made a decision, who would dare to compete with Chief Zhou for the chief position in the future? He, Xiao Mo, was the first to refuse.

Xie Gou hadn't returned from the Fire Temple yet, so Xiao Mo said doubtfully, "I don't know what Xie Gou and Aunt Feng have to talk about. I remember they had a normal relationship before."

Chen Pingan said with a smile: "There are no taboos between women and women when talking about men. When men mention women and say dirty things, they are like children playing house."

Xiao Mo sincerely admired: "Young Master, do you even understand this?"

Chen Ping'an quickly shook his head and clarified: "Of course I don't understand. I heard it from the old cook, Chief Zhou, Mi Dajianxian and the others. They are the top experts. I will leave after hearing it occasionally. "

Chen Ping'an turned to speaking from his heart and asked: "Xiao Mo, have you really thought about joining the Luopo Mountain Patriarch Hall's genealogy and becoming a registered worshiper of Jise Peak from now on?"

Xiao Mo asked with a smile: "Shouldn't the person you are asking this question be Xie Gou?"

Chen Ping'an said: "Xie Gou has always been just Bai Jing. Her status as a genealogy in the world cannot restrain her at all, neither her status nor her Taoism. She wants to be a secondary worshiper, just like a joke, of course we Luolu Mountain does need one more Ascension Realm pure sword cultivator. To be precise, if Haoran World can keep Xie Gou, then Barbarian World can lose one less Bai Jing. I know this, and Xie Gou also knows it. You know, it's just because you're here, I don't even tell her."

Xiao Mo asked doubtfully: "Young master, you can't trust me?"

Chen Pingan laughed angrily and said: "Why, Mr. Xiaomo only says stupid things at critical moments. Wouldn't it be a waste of all the previous efforts?"

Xiaomo laughed dumbly.

"Whether you join the Ancestral Master Hall's Golden Jade Genealogy or not, it doesn't matter to me. When it comes to the Jise Peak meeting, whether you are included or not, you are still Xiao Mo."

Chen Pingan said: "But for you, it is more or less a layer of restraint."

There happened to be children flying kites nearby, and Chen Pingan pointed to the kites in the sky in the distance.

"You are pure sword cultivators. The sky is high and the sky is high. You should be carefree, unrestrained and free."

"Then every kind of nostalgia, hatred, concern, nostalgia, and remembrance we have is just like a paper kite with strings, and we can remember it when we pull it lightly."

"When thoughts come together, the Taoist mind is like water with ripples. It is easy to stop the thought but difficult to stop it."

Xiao Mo thought about it carefully, "I was once under a tree and listened to the Buddha talking about Buddhism with an unknown person. The latter said that others are hell on earth, but the Buddha said that a lotus flower bloomed in the world because of it."

Chen Pingan was speechless for a long time.

I forgot who said that making mistakes and forgetting are all God's favor. It is a kind of tenderness with mercy, and it is a kind of mercy outside the law.

Xiao Mo said softly: "Master?"

Chen Ping'an had a smile on his face and said helplessly: "You have already moved out of the Buddha, what else can I say."

Xie Gou appeared in front of the road and handed them a few bucket cakes wrapped in oil paper, "It's delicious."

Chen Ping'an took the bucket of cake and asked, "Do you have any money?"

He thanked the dog and patted his hat, "I forgot about it."

She thought she didn't have to pay for wine, dinner, and the title of mountain master or national master in our Lijing city. Misunderstood.

In the past, she was not like this in Luzhou, Beiju. She traveled to the mountains to collect herbs and set up street stalls in mountain markets. The prices were fair, and she got what she paid for.

Xie Gou immediately turned around and ran away.

Over at the bucket cake stall, which was doing very well, the man was cursing and looking at a pretty honest little girl, how could she be a liar?

The girl in the mink hat took a piece of silver from her sleeve. The man took it and smiled immediately. He hurriedly said that he welcomed the guest again.

Returning to Chen Pingan and the others, Xie Gou gnawed on the remaining prune and vegetable meat bucket cake, and said vaguely: "Mountain Master, Aunt Feng asked you to go to Baihua Paradise early, and said that if you don't go, she won't need your help. It’s time to take it back.”

Chen Ping'an heard the implication of Aunt Feng's words and said, "I know, I must go early."

Anyway, as long as the words are not from the heart, Aunt Feng can definitely hear them.

Xie Gou said: "Furthermore, Aunt Feng asked me to announce the good news to the mountain master. Over at the Confucian Temple, we discussed that the mountain master will become a Confucian gentleman. There is no objection."

Chen Pingan was a little surprised. No matter how bold Aunt Feng was, she would never eavesdrop on the proceedings of the Chinese Confucian Temple.

Having said this, Xie Gou extended his hand.

Chen Ping'an took out a piece of silver he carried with him and placed it on the palm of the girl in the mink hat.

Xiaomo looked confused.

Xie Gou grinned and said, "I've written many novels about talented people and beauties. There are rewards for scholars who rush to the capital, who pass the Jinshi examination, and who come to announce the good news with gongs and drums."

Xiaomo was a little helpless.

You really have the nerve to accept it, Master, you really give it...

Xie Gou got the money and said with a bright smile: "Aunt Feng just said that it was Mao Siye from Liji Academy who disliked Feijian for being too slow in conveying messages, so after the discussion was over and he walked out of the Confucian Temple, Mao Siye shouted Her divine number, please help her report the news."

Chen Pingan's eyes lit up.

Xie Gouxiaohaha helped to express the thoughts of his mountain owner, "This is the only new way to make money in the world."

Chen Pingan sighed, "You are talking nonsense, how dare you trouble Aunt Feng."

In fact, Xiao Mo felt more and more like Xie Gou was in Luo Luo Shan. Xiao Mo was the same with or without him. She followed the locals and lived happily every day.

Xie Gou whispered: "Xiao Mo Xiao Mo, Aunt Feng said that His Majesty the Emperor used a jar of Changchun Palace wine to lure Minister Cao to go to the forbidden area for duty, just like Luo Luo Shan used you to fish me."

In fact, the conversation she had with Aunt Feng at the grape trellis of the Fire Temple was much more exciting than this. It was because they "accidentally" overheard Xiaomo's "chatting" with her mountain owner, so Aunt Feng gave her this gift for free. Tao tips and tricks.

Xiao Mo asked: "Are you not angry after hearing this?"

Xie Gou tilted his mink hat, "Why are you angry? I think it is a good saying. Changchun Palace Immortal Brew is a good wine that everyone likes. It is so good that even after drinking it, the wine jar will keep it."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "I'm still here, you guys are about the same."

Xie Gou grinned and said, "Aunt Feng also said that Mao Siye said that the Confucian Temple has even finalized the message for you."

Chen Ping'an asked curiously: "Which sentence is it?"

As long as a Confucian disciple becomes a sage or a gentleman in the academy, he can receive a certain message from the academy chief or the accompanying sage.

If you serve as a wine minister or business administrator in the academy, or as the mountain leader of the Seventy-Two Confucian academies, you will be able to receive gifts from the Lisheng, Yasheng, and Literary Sages.

If you serve as the leader of the Confucian Temple, it is said that the sage master personally "cut out" a sentence with beautiful meaning from a certain book.

Xie Gou looked playful, glanced at Mountain Master Chen, and asked: "Mountain Master is so good at guessing his thoughts, do you need me to tell you?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Why ask when you already know."

Xiaomo was confused.

Xie Gou nodded and said: "Mao Siye has explained it all. It seems to be a sentence that the literary saint read from a book over there in Renyun Yiyun Tower, because that sentence in the book has a red pen next to it. .”

Chen Pingan nodded and already guessed the answer.

Sure enough, what Xie Gou said was just as Chen Pingan expected.

His heart moved slightly, and then he thought about it, but Chen Ping'an dispersed the ripples in his Taoist heart.

Chen Pingan changed the subject and spoke to them in his heart: "Xiao Mo, I have discussed it with Master Lu. He will help me send a message to Senior Brother Jun Qian. Senior Brother Jun Qian will rush back to Haoran World soon. I have written a letter A letter is sent to the Confucian Temple, asking you to take a trip to the bright moon in the Qingming world, so that you can reminisce with the old temple master. You can stay there for a while, and don’t rush back to Luopo Mountain. I am planning to retreat in the near future anyway. .”

Xie Gou asked tentatively: "Mountain Master, can I accompany Xiao Mo?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "I wrote it in the letter, but it's hard to say whether it will be rejected by the Confucian Temple."

Xiao Mo said: "Xie Gou, you'd better stay in the mountains, otherwise I won't be able to leave at ease. When I'm not with the young master, you have to help protect the gate."

He and the master of Bixiao Cave in Luobaotan are indeed close friends who regard each other as confidants. There is no quarrel in their relationship.

Just when Chen Ping'an was about to speak, Xie Gou suddenly stopped and stood still. He straightened his chest like his right guardian and said in a deep voice: "If there is any mistake, raise your head and come to see Xiaomo!"

Xiao Mo chuckled softly and said: "Everything is fine. Young Master will definitely be able to break through the situation smoothly. All you need to do is eat melon seeds with Xiao Mi Li."

Xie Gougang wanted to speak.

Chen Ping'an said: "Miss Xie, when you hear such heart-warming words that are not words of love but words of love, can't you squeeze out some tears?"

The two of you just keep talking to each other and treat me as the master of the mountain as if I don't exist. I can't disgust you.

Xie Gou sighed and said considerately: "It seems that the mountain master misses the mountain master's wife."

Xiao Mo smiled and nodded, rarely agreeing with Xie Gou, "It's human nature, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

"Shut up, everyone."

Chen Ping'an, who was walking among them, seemed to be angry with shame. He put his arms around Xiao Mo's neck and held down the mink hat on Xie Gou's head with one hand.

This scene was eye-opening for Aunt Feng under the grape trellis of the Fire Temple.

On the road, Xiao Mo was smiling all over his face, Xie Gou pursed his lips and had a sullen face, and Chen Pingan was not sullen, just like a young man.

Aunt Feng, who was sitting on the stone slab, closed her book. She was a little envious of them.

No matter who is the first to reach the Fourteenth Realm, the other two, no matter where they are, in which world, if there is a difficulty to overcome, the sword light will definitely arrive first. Wait a moment, and the sword cultivator will arrive later.

Chen Pingan did not ask Wei Shanjun to help, but chose to take a ferry back to Niujiaodu. After all, Wei Shenjun must be busy hosting a night banquet at the moment.

In the evening, Chen Ping'an invited Xiao Mo to sit on the roof of the ferry and drink together. Xie Gou bought some snacks to go with the wine and sat next to Xiao Mo. She complained endlessly that the prices were too deceptive.

Xie Gou is the most heroic person when drinking, but she is not good at persuading people to drink. She quickly fell back and said that she could not drink anymore, and if she drinks again... she looked at Xiao Mo with a smile.

The bright moon is bright and reunited, and the moonlight shines on people for a long time.

The clouds passed and covered the moon, hazy.

Xiao Mo picked up a peanut, chewed it carefully, and asked in his heart: "Master, what have you often forgotten recently, and only remembered it again when talking to others? Is it to prepare for seclusion?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and nodded, "It's difficult for thoughts to arise naturally like flowers blooming all the way, but it's also difficult to stop thinking about them. You can ask me any questions, such as what we saw and heard in Dali Capital. .”

Xiao Mo asked with a smile: "Master, do you still remember that gift now?"

The inner lake is like fishing.

Fish hook bait is the word for "gift".

As soon as the rod is closed, it is like catching a fish.

Chen Pingan remembered a long list of memories about this sentence.

Chen Pingan smiled and nodded.

This gift from the Confucian Temple comes from Mr. Zhi's "Tian Lun Pian".

It is said that a gentleman respects those who are in himself, but does not admire those who are in heaven. This is because the sun is advancing.

But Chen Pingan soon forgot. He really forgot everything. Chen Pingan shook his head and didn't think much about it.

Xiao Mo didn't say anything more. He raised his wine glass. Chen Ping'an touched it gently and said with a smile: "When it comes to drinking, the cup is not as good as the bowl."

The clouds in the sky are opening and the moon is getting brighter.

Chen Pingan said in his heart.

With a pair of golden eyes, he was jumping up and down on those passes called "Forgotten", like a child playing a game of jumping squares.

In a small Taoist temple in Qingmingtianxia.

Chen Cong, it turns out to be me, Chen Pingan. Uncle Chang, it turns out to be you, senior brother.
