Sword of Coming

When Chen Ping'an arrived at the dinner table of the Chen clan leader, he sat on Zhang Shanfeng's seat and briefly told Xu Yuanxia that Zhang Shanfeng was taken away by his master. Not to mention the farewell, the bearded ranger was born in the battlefield in his early years. We are used to life and death, and we don’t have too much sentimentality. Chen Pingan drank a few drinks with Xu Yuanxia. Before entering the room and serving the table, Chen Pingan took two pots of sweet-scented osmanthus wine and gave one to the old man in the long coat. Xu Yuanxia drank from a pot.

This old man had been drinking homemade sorghum roast all his life. His impression of the wine was that it burned his throat and burned his intestines. He was also straightforward, so he asked the teacher next to him to tell Chen Ping'an in the elegant language of Baopingzhou. The wine must be very expensive, but it tastes soft, not strong enough, and lacks some flavor. It's just right for the women in the village to drink. Chen Pingan had no choice but to do so. Xu Yuanxia knew that sweet-scented osmanthus wine was precious and could really prolong the lives of ordinary people. This small pot of wine could not be purchased by the entire village of sorghum, so she told the old man in long coat that It was so unbearable that the bearded man almost choked to death.

After dinner, Chen Pingan and Xu Yuanxia walked around the quiet village. After giving the dagger to the queen, Xu Yuanxia put away the dagger. After hearing Chen Pingan's description of Master Zhang Shanfeng, she was greatly surprised, "Qi Practitioner." Shrinking the ground into an inch was born out of the Taoist Gangbu. Zhang Shanfeng is a Taoist priest with a surname from Longhu Mountain. His master is proficient in this technique. It is not surprising. In the final analysis, it is still his own Kung Fu. The key lies in how far away the magical power can be. There is a huge difference between tens of feet and tens of miles, but it is unheard of to be able to draw a talisman under your feet and leave with someone."

Xu Yuanxia continued: "That's all, but by drawing a talisman on the palm of Zhang Shanfeng's hand, you can get the true sword and dagger from thousands of miles away. What kind of magic is it?"

Chen Ping'an sighed: "I don't know."

Xu Yuanxia smiled and said: "No matter what, it's a good thing. Zhang Shanfeng has a master with great supernatural powers, but this guy is not kind and hides it, so I always thought that he was an outer disciple of the Buluishan sect in Luzhou, Beiju. , after all, the so-called Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, who goes down the mountain to kill demons and eliminate demons, is rampant, and most of them are scammers. I was very worried along the way, and made several probing inquiries to determine if he had joined a sect that defrauded people of their money. If you really accept a half-full liar as your master and turn around early, you might as well not go back to Beiju Luzhou. It’s a good thing I wasn’t there at the time, otherwise I’d have to stare out my eyes.”

Chen Pingan smiled a little gloatingly.

Xu Yuanxia hesitated for a moment.

The two of them walked slowly along the bluestone road of the pond. Chen Ping'an said, "Brother Xu says what he wants to say. Why should we be so polite?"

Xu Yuanxia said: "On this trip to Qingluan Kingdom, Zhang Shanfeng accompanied me to deliver the jar of Paoze's ashes at the beginning. Later, I accompanied Zhang Shanfeng to see the Water and Land Dharma Assembly and the Luotian Dajiao. Now Zhang Shanfeng has gone there with his master. I feel homesick for the Tianshi Mansion in the Divine Continent of Middle-earth."

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Then go back early."

Xu Yuanxia stopped, stretched out her palms, and stroked her beard, "I have been wandering outside for so many years, except for military pay and letters sent back regularly, I don't know what has become of my hometown."

Chen Pingan asked softly: "Should I accompany you? If you think Wei Xian and the others are not suitable to go, I will only accompany you back with Pei Qian, and let Wei Xian and the others go to the capital of Qingluan Kingdom to visit first."

Xu Yuanxia smiled and waved her hand and said: "You are not a pretty girl, why do you want to accompany me back home? You just follow the established route, don't mess up your plans for me."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "I didn't have a plan in the first place. Why, are there any shameful things in your hometown? Are you afraid that I will see through your background?"

Xu Yuanxia sighed, squatted by the pond, and tapped the bluestone with the handle of the short knife, "My family is relatively well-off, and I can barely be regarded as a local prominent family in the county. I had a marriage in my early years. Before I left my hometown, I secretly watched At first glance, I saw that the girl was quite pretty, and I actually liked her. I was very enthusiastic at the time, thinking that I would be able to become famous in three to five years, and then I would marry her gracefully. I never thought that if I was not careful, I would be there. I’ve been hanging around outside for more than ten years.”

Chen Ping'an squatted next to Xu Yuanxia and comforted him: "Brother Xu, you are a solid martial artist of the Five Realms, and you are familiar with battle formations. In your hometown, it is not difficult to find a general in the imperial court."

Xu Yuanxia nodded and said, "It's not difficult."

Xu Yuanxia sighed: "I feel so timid when I'm close to home. Just thinking about it makes me feel scared. When I was young and fighting for my life on the battlefield, I never felt so worried."

Chen Pingan thought for a moment, and since Xu Yuanxia preferred to return to her hometown alone, she had her own reasons, so she said softly: "I will go to Qingxia Island in Shujian Lake next to find a child named Gu Can who lived with me in the early years. In Mu Ping Lane, his current master is Jiejiang Zhenjun Liu Zhimao. If everything goes well, I will go to Sui Academy to find a few children who also came from my hometown. Brother Xu, after you return to your hometown, if you have It's not easy to solve things by yourself. Don't forget that you still have two good friends you met in the world. Since Zhang Shanfeng is hard to find now, then you can find me, Chen Ping'an. It may be more troublesome, but you need to send two friends at the same time. A letter, so I don’t miss it.”

Xu Yuanxia patted Chen Pingan on the shoulder, and then pointed to the pond in front of the two of them, "There is a pond like this in my hometown. It can't be said that there is no martial arts. A five-level martial artist, with two A good-quality magical weapon is enough for me to show my prestige. Even if a country's frontier officials see me, they will treat me as a guest. Do you think everyone is like you, Chen Ping'an?"

Chen Pingan handed over the sword gourd and whispered: "Drink the wine here, this is the real good wine. If you like to drink, take the wine away, but of course you have to keep the jug."

Xu Yuanxia was doubtful, but the "Vermilion Wine Pot" took a sip of the medicinal wine made from the golden elixir of the Yuanying Old Jiao. Her face instantly turned red, and a mouthful of pure Qi in her body surged up and down, rushing through the Qifu acupoints along the way. Like a huge wave crashing against a rocky cliff, Xu Yuanxia hurriedly adjusted her breath, and finally digested the momentum. She burped, spit out a mouthful of turbid air that had been accumulated for a long time and could never be purified, wiped her mouth, and her eyes sparkled, " This wine, once Wufu takes a sip, it is truly amazing."

Chen Ping'an was not in a hurry to take back the sword gourd, crossed his arms across his chest, and said with a smile: "Do you think everyone is Xu Yuanxia? Can you drink the little refined wine in this jug?"

The bearded man laughed loudly and was not polite to Chen Ping'an. He took another sip of medicinal wine to help wash away the turbid turbidity in his pure Qi. In the end, he was still not satisfied. He took a third sip and simply sat cross-legged for a long time. Ding was like an old monk. After opening his eyes, he handed the jug back to Chen Ping'an. "Okay, it's only three things. I finally have some thoughts in this life and hope for the life of a martial artist in the Sixth Realm. Three sips are enough. Drinking more is just too much." Okay, martial arts are not good enough and I can’t bear such a good thing, but I have agreed in advance that I will ask you for a drink when I break the final bottleneck in the Five Realms."

Chen Ping'an said doubtfully: "Then bring the drinks. It will save you the trouble of saying hello to me and asking for them."

Although Chen Ping'an now needs to make a small amount of medicinal wine to warm his body and soul, his martial arts practice is now on the right track. If he doesn't drink medicinal wine, it will only slow down his cultivation level. It is not like the old dragon city that just received a heavy blow from the Immortal Soldier Sword Swallowing Boat. The timely help was just the icing on the cake, but for Xu Yuanxia, ​​this pot of medicinal wine, which was worth a lot of money, was even more meaningful. The martial arts of the small country of Aquarius Continent outside the Great Li Dynasty are treated very differently due to the difference between the five realms and the six realms and one realm. For a small country located in a corner, maybe the martial arts of the seven realms can affect the military fortune of a country, so there is hope A six-level warrior in the Golden Body Realm will naturally be a treasure in the hearts of the king of a small country, and a rare commodity.

Xu Yuanxia glanced at Chen Ping'an, "This kind of medicinal wine can improve one's cultivation without any side effects. Of course it is a first-class good thing. But it may not be a good thing for the martial artist to polish his state of mind. With medicinal wine, it is inevitable With luck in mind, when I practice boxing in the future, I will never slack off in my hands, but my mind will be relaxed, and my boxing skills will naturally become loose. Chen Pingan, do you think that the martial arts in the world are close at hand, and you can obviously improve with just one sip? A little, can you really bear not to drink?"

Xu Yuanxia looked into the distance and said with emotion: "Even though I know that it will eventually hinder the opportunity to break through, I, Xu Yuanxia, ​​think I can't help it. Besides, I am an alcoholic. I am addicted to alcohol. I don't care about bottlenecks or not. Let's talk after drinking. .”

Regarding her mental stability on the path of spiritual practice, Xu Yuanxia considers herself inferior to Zhang Shanfeng, let alone Chen Pingan.

Chen Ping'an nodded, "Then wait until Brother Xu reaches the Sixth Realm, and I will give you wine as a celebration drink."

Xu Yuanxia suddenly said: "When you go north this time, if you have a chance to pass by Caiyi Kingdom and Shushui Kingdom, don't forget to take a look at the old swordsman Song, the pair of children in Rouge County, and of course the couple in the ghost house."

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Of course. I will also treat Senior Song to a hot pot meal, and then see if the children's cultivation is going well. Finally, I will go to the old house and taste the old lady's bamboo shoot stew. Meat."

Xu Yuanxia laughed loudly, right, Chen Pingan was still the same Chen Pingan back then. She patted this guy's shoulder again. The bearded man's hand was a bit too strong, and he said boldly: "Chen Pingan, you and Zhang Shanfeng must mix well in the future." With my future and reputation, I can be heard in my hometown, and then I can brag to others, and make countless people cry and invite me, Xu Yuanxia, ​​to drink, and tell them stories about the two of you."

Chen Pingan cupped his fists and joked: "Brother Xu, I can lend you some good words."

Xu Yuanxia stood up and said, "Okay, it was fine before. I didn't think there was anything wrong with wandering around. Now that I think about my hometown, it's like the wine bug in my stomach rebelled. I feel so uncomfortable if I don't take a sip. Haha, my hometown is that old wine. Okay, go and drink!"

Chen Pingan stood up and said, "Then I will accompany you to your residence to pick up your luggage, and then walk with you for a while."

Xu Yuanxia glared and said: "Mother-in-law, you have to learn from Zhang Shanfeng in this regard. Leave as soon as you say it. It will be so refreshing."

Chen Ping'an rolled his eyes and said, "Is it him? If he doesn't cry now, Zhang Shanfeng will be promising. Why don't we take a gamble?"

Xu Yuanxia rubbed her chin, "Then I bet Zhang Shanfeng secretly went alone and cried miserably behind his master's back."

Chen Ping'an also rubbed his chin, "Do you think we two heroes have the same view?"

Xu Yuanxia strode away with a smile, not wanting Chen Pingan to see him off. The bearded ranger suddenly remembered that it was late at night, and there might be women and children in the village who had gone to bed early, so he stopped talking, turned his back to Chen Pingan, and waved goodbye without any delay.

Chen Ping'an stood there, feeling a little sad.

About two sticks of incense later, Pei Qian ran over in a daze, running in the alleys at night, which was a bit scary. She put the yellow paper talisman on her forehead, found Chen Pingan, and asked curiously: "What's wrong with the bearded uncle?" Run away? Did he run away in the middle of the night because he owed the master money, couldn't afford it, and was too embarrassed to see anyone? "

This made Pei Qian a little upset. He stomped his foot hard, slapped his fist, and said angrily: "This poor guy with a big beard is really dishonest. He has no money to repay the debt. You can borrow it from me privately. I don't know how to talk to Master." To reveal such embarrassing things about him.”

Although Pei Qian didn't know the reason, he always felt that after Chen Ping'an met the young Taoist priest with little ability and the bearded man with a loud voice, he was very happy along the way, as if he was happier than making a lot of money. But in fact, since he met the scalper in the mountain col, his master has been losing money and has been losing money. Didn't he give Zhang Shanfeng a blue wooden box earlier, which looked like a seal of some kind? And from Laolongcheng to Fengweidu, how could the master be willing to take out the sweet-scented osmanthus brew and Shuijing Xianren brew every day?

It's like making friends in the world, it's so fun, you're making money from the beginning to the end.

Chen Ping'an smiled and shook his head, "Your bearded uncle is just homesick. We can go to him in the future. You can also go to him when you go out on your own someday. You should be able to drink by then, remember. Bring some good wine.”

Pei Qian shook his head and said: "The rivers and lakes are dangerous and the drinks are too expensive. I decided not to go into the rivers and lakes."

Chen Pingan twisted her ears, "At such a young age, are you telling me that the world is dangerous?"

Pei Qian stood on tiptoes and begged for mercy: "Old Wei and the bearded uncle both said so. I just feel like a gangster, so I just said it casually."

Chen Ping'an let go of his hand and said with a smile: "Take six steps and go back to sleep."

Pei Qian's staking is now impressive, but the sword furnace staking is still not impressive. As for the heaven and earth staking, Pei Qian really wants to learn it, but he can't, because he can't even stand up now.

Nothing happened all night.

The chicken crows very early in the mountain village. After Chen Ping'an got up, he did not go out for a walk, because in two quarters of an hour, the martial arts practitioners in this village would gather together to perform martial arts, twice in the morning and evening, year after year, unbeatable, as long as they are men, This is true regardless of whether they are young or young. Even if a woman wants to participate, there is no taboo.

After all, if you don't have solid martial arts skills, you won't be able to earn a gold-lettered signboard as a dart. According to Mr. Xueshu, the Chen family's darts traveled all over the world and relied on the nickname of the patriarch "Chen Paifang" to become one of the top states in the Qingluan Kingdom. The land is still very prestigious.

Chen Ping'an passed by the Chen family's martial arts performance venue yesterday. Instead of watching the martial arts practice at the Ouhua Blessed Land, he walked away quickly.

Not only that, he also asked the four people in the picture scroll to say hello, especially Lu Baixiang and Sui Youyou, that it was best not to carry weapons around the village.

When in town, do as the Romans do.

This morning, a group of people gathered together to have breakfast. After eating, they were about to leave the village. Chen Ping'an planned to go to the capital of Qingluan Kingdom and witness the debate on Buddhism and Taoism held by the Emperor of Tang Dynasty before leaving. Qingping In addition to the Fengwei Ferry that borders the Three Kingdoms, the Luan Kingdom also has the Xianjia Ferry in the Eastern Kingdom, which is said to be slightly larger than the Fengwei Ferry. Previously at the Fengwei Ferry, I learned that there is now chaos in the central part of Aquarius Continent, and people are uneasy both on and off the mountain. Students, many ferries going there have been temporarily suspended, and there are no ferries on Shujian Lake. The two ferries near Shujian Lake, one of which is an important place in the capital of a country, and one of a mountain sect, are both suffering from disasters at the moment. The trampling caused blood to splash everywhere, so Chen Ping'an wanted to try his luck at the east ferry, otherwise it would be too far to go to Shujian Lake.

While everyone was sitting around the table drinking porridge, they turned to look at the courtyard outside the house. A snow-white figure floated out from the shadow of the corridor. After they stood still, the man had a bright smile.

He is an immortal young man in white clothes.

Compared to Chen Ping'an, he is more immortal.

Pei Qian stared blankly at the uninvited guest. For some reason, he took out the Pagoda Demon Suppression Talisman by accident and quickly put it on his forehead.

Chen Pingan put down his chopsticks and sighed.

The four people in the picture scroll all looked confused.

Apart from his outstanding clothing and appearance, this person has no level of cultivation. It is hard to say whether he is a mountain god or a pure martial artist.

But the more this happened, the more uncertain the four of them felt.

Chen Pingan stood up, stopped near the threshold, and asked, "Why are you here?"

The young man in white had tears in his eyes and trembling lips. It was very touching. He rushed towards Chen Pingan with a cry, as if he wanted to hug Chen Pingan and tell him the pain of parting. "The student's rescue came too late, let me Mr. Cui Dongshan has suffered so many injustices, and his disciple Cui Dongshan will never be able to redeem himself by dying... ah..."

Chen Pingan directly kicked the disgusting "disciple" back.

Pei Qian's eyes widened. Where did this guy come from? Is he trying to steal Mr. Master from him?

The boy in white clothes spun countless times in the air, his sleeves fluttering, as beautiful as a white cloud pushed away by an immortal's hand.
