Sword of Coming

After a battle between heaven and man, Chen Pingan let Cui Dongshan and Shi Rou's yang gods enter the house.

Cui Dongshan still drew a big circle with the golden flying sword. Chen Ping'an couldn't help but ask what kind of magical power it was. Cui Dongshan smiled and said that it was the method of the ancient gods. Drawing the ground as a prison can be used as a shelter or as a prison. It can imprison others and cannot get in or out, so there is a saying of "Thunder Pond". There are dozens of immortal magic techniques improved and evolved in later generations, most of which deviate from the right path and are not worth mentioning.

After sitting down, Cui Dongshan was very happy when he mentioned Shi Rou. He praised Shi Rou's great strength and said that apart from spending two bags of gold and copper coins, the creation of the mountain was considered smooth sailing. The glazed golden body that came out actually gave Shi Rou's Yin Soul great perseverance and great blessings, and successfully turned it into a paradise for the soul. Now, although Du Mao's skin bag and Shi Rou's soul are still somewhat mutually exclusive, after that It's just a waste of time and money, nothing serious anymore.

After Cui Dongshan said the great news, he started to find flaws, "Opening the door, mainly anti-customers, is just the first hurdle. Shi Rou is uniquely endowed with talent. If someone knew the goods earlier and was willing to spend money, It would be no problem to help her plan for the top Five Sacred Gods in Aquarius Continent. She has a good foundation, so she can take such a huge advantage. Just because she has good bones does not mean that her cultivation qualifications are superior. In fact, Shi As a lonely wild ghost that has survived for hundreds of years, Shi Rou has not been able to cultivate any tricks or become a ghost king. In addition to the unreliability of her old master, Shi Rou's own cultivation talent is really not outstanding. , so Shi Rou's bottleneck is quite serious, and she is destined to be unable to break through the limitations of this glazed golden body, so she can make further progress and truly gain great freedom."

Chen Ping'an took out a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus brew. After Cui Dongshan took it, he took a big sip and wiped his mouth, "Fortunately, I have entered a golden mountain. Even if I am a miserable kid moving money, no matter how little I move every time, how many times will it be?" After ten years and hundreds of years of hard work, he was finally able to move out a very rich man. From now on, Shi Rou only needs to use clumsy methods to gnaw hard bones, and there is no big spiritual barrier. This is the most enviable part of the immortal legacy. You go all the way to the upper five realms, you don’t have to form a golden elixir, you don’t have to raise a Nascent Soul, you don’t even have to pay attention to the demons, who wouldn’t envy you?”

Cui Dongshan chuckled, "Of course I won't envy you because of your tough mind. As for my student, I have already been there for you, so I don't need to envy you. In the final analysis, I am still not as good as you."

Chen Ping'an reminded: "No matter how Shi Rou accumulates gold and copper coins in practice, I will still have six gold and copper coins in my hand. Don't think about this money."

Cui Dongshan said sternly: "A gentleman with a kind heart, being the owner of the four ants in the Lotus Flower Blessed Land is really a blessing they have cultivated for several lifetimes. If they don't know how to cherish their blessings, they deserve to be struck by lightning. Sir, don't worry, The students of Longhu Mountain are still somewhat proficient in the Five Thunder Methods, and they may not be more proficient than some Huang Zi nobles from the Tianshi Mansion. When the time comes, sir, I will do the right thing for Tian."

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "I still hope that we can have a happy ending with the four of them."

Cui Dongshan said softly: "Why don't you ask, sir? How can we firmly control Shi Rou sixty years later?"

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "If I don't ask, why don't you tell me? I just talk about business and planning. I am far behind you. I believe in you, and I believe that you will not be sneaky outside the avenue." , that’s looking down on you Cui Dongshan too much.”

Cui Dongshan burst into tears and said, "I never thought that in my mind, the student would already be such a considerate person. If the husband is willing to trust the student, how dare the student not die?!"

Chen Pingan glanced at the skeletal beauty who was about to walk the world in the image of Du Mao, and asked, "Don't you regret it?"

Shi Rou smiled and said: "My master doesn't know all the sufferings he suffered as a ghost. Hearing the sound of spring thunder, the sound of morning bells and evening drums, the righteous wind between heaven and earth, the murderous atmosphere of golden autumn, the atmosphere of war on the battlefield, the mountains, rivers, temples and Chenghuang Pavilion in all directions. , all kinds of things are the sufferings of us wild ghosts, and it is easy to lose the last bit of intelligence and become a fierce ghost who only knows killing..."

Shi Rou spoke eloquently, telling many rules and inside stories about the existence of ghost objects in the world.

Chen Pingan listened carefully, and then his discomfort in facing "Du Mao" was slightly relieved.

Cui Dongshan always smiled and accompanied Chen Pingan to listen to Shi Rou's explanation.

The matter of moving into Du Mao Liuli Golden Body has generally been settled.

Cui Dongshan only said that he would have another day of training tomorrow, and Chen Pingan nodded and agreed.

The room looked like a celebration banquet, but it was just three people in charge and a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus brew.

Finally, Cui Dongshan stood up and said goodbye. Chen Pingan sent the two of them to the door of the house. After closing the door, the young man in white and the old man with white hair walked in the corridor one after another.

Although Cui Dongshan's face was full of joy, Shi Rou, for some unknown reason, became more and more frightened as he walked. When he arrived at Cui Dongshan's house, as expected, he grabbed "Du Mao"'s head and pressed Shi Rou against the wall with his five fingers like hooks. He said sternly: "A little devil, a being worse than an ant, dares to boast in front of my husband?! Who gave you the courage!"

A glazed golden body that is equivalent to the body of an immortal, not inferior to the mighty body of a martial artist in the ninth realm. Logically speaking, Cui Dongshan, who is not in the earthly immortal realm now, is just scratching Shi Rou, but Cui Dongshan clearly used it. Entrusted with some kind of secret magical power, the soul was agitated, like five strong winds blowing at the root of Shi Rou's soul. The pain caused Shi Rou's weathered face to twist and tears to flow.

Cui Dongshan raised his other hand and flicked Shi Rou's forehead with his finger, which sounded like a bell in Shi Rou's heart.

After releasing his fingers, Shirou collapsed to the ground, trembling all over and sweating profusely.

Cui Dongshan stepped on her forehead, causing the back of Shi Rou's head to hit the wall. Cui Dongshan bent down, looked down at her, and sneered: "You are not worthy of virtue, and virtue is not worthy of your place. You have both, believe it or not." Just pull your soul out of the slough again, and be baptized by the mighty wind and showered by the sweet rain day and night, or simply use the slough as a lantern and use your soul as the wick, but it can make you have nothing. Did you notice that sixty years later, you died suddenly?!"

Cui Dongshan exerted more force on his feet, causing cracks in the wall behind Shi Rou's head to crack little by little.

Cui Dongshan's eyes were cold, "Why, it's just an extra bird in your crotch and you forgot about it?"

Shi Rou's expression suddenly changed, her eyes were indifferent. Even though she was suffering great humiliation and soul pain, she still raised her head and looked at the white-clothed immortal master for the first time.

Cui Dongshan found it very interesting, and smiled and said: "You are a remnant of a country that was destroyed six hundred years ago, a dead ashes of a branch of Taoism, and you have worked so hard for so many years, and you have accumulated so much forbearance? How dare you follow me? Do you want to compete in chess? Asked someone, and answered with a song: The body is like a haggard skeleton, and the heart is like death. What, have you been caught by me? Otherwise, I will use the person who asked the question, and use your lineage to revive the country. The ancestor’s unique secret method completely wiped out the little bit of spiritual energy you had left?”

Shi Rou's face was full of disbelief, and she finally revealed a huge panic, which was a fear greater than life and death.

She once hummed a poem on the stone tablet in the Caiyi Kingdom's City God's Temple, which Chen Ping'an mistakenly thought was an ancient folk ballad of the Caiyi Kingdom. She originally thought that the old things from hundreds of years ago, plus All traces have been destroyed by all forces in Aquarius Continent. No one knows the inside story. Moreover, even if one accidentally sees these poem fragments in miscellaneous books, how can one accurately deduce her true identity? To seize the real Achilles heel of her little devil in one fell swoop?

Cui Dongshan stretched out his two fingers, and the golden flying sword swept out from the center of his eyebrows, whirling around his fingers, and finally drew a long-lost golden talisman, just like a majestic golden flower blooming on Cui Dongshan's fingertips. lotus.

Shi Rou wanted to beg for mercy, but found that no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't make a sound. She could only watch the man's fingers keep getting closer to her eyebrows.

Shi Rou closed her eyes, moved her lips slightly, and silently sang the opening song of the side branch of the Dao Meridian she was in back then with the voice of her heart.

Shi Rou, who was helpless, slowly opened her eyes and found that the man had put away his hand and looked at her with a look of pity.

Cui Dongshan straightened up and rubbed the sole of his shoe against "Du Mao"'s face, as if he had stepped in mud and soiled the sole of his shoe and had to wipe it clean.

He glanced at Shi Rou, who was surviving the disaster, and said, "I won't do this again."

Shi Rou nodded slightly.

Cui Dongshan had just walked out a few steps when he suddenly turned around and kicked Shi Rou hard on the head, causing most of his head to sink into the wall. He shouted angrily: "I don't even know how to say thank you to me for not killing anyone." Thanks?"

Shi Rou pulled his head out of the wall, silently knelt down and kowtowed three times to Cui Dongshan.

Cui Dongshan sat at the table and said angrily: "I will not accompany you all the way. After I leave, remember not to waste this body that can withstand beatings. If you don't try your best, If my husband is injured, no matter how big or small, I will pluck out your spiritual light from the depths of your soul and plant it on a monk."

Shi Rou slowly raised his head, with a face full of sorrow, looking at this immortal master who looked like a god but was thoughtful and vicious, and murmured: "How can there be such a terrible person like you in the world?"

Cui Dongshan sneered: "This is not taught by my husband, I am self-taught."

Shi Rou stood up and only dared to stand against the wall.

Cui Dongshan slapped the table, "Why don't you go to your own room and hang yourself here to die? Believe it or not, I will chop off that thing in your crotch and let you eat it?"

The grief-stricken Shi Rou lowered his head and quickly left the house, which was like a purgatory on earth.

Cui Dongshan opened the books written by Qingluan literati on the table. The more he read, the more angry he became. He closed the book and cursed, "If you don't read for three days, you will feel that the language is tasteless and the appearance is disgusting. Look at these things, I It’s like someone smeared a lot of shit on his face, and it’s like fucking loose shit.”

Cui Dongshan couldn't sleep and was bored, so he quietly left the inn and went to wander outside the county town.

I accidentally saw a poor low-level cultivator from the Five Realms. He was using his inferior money-stealing skills to control more than a dozen ghostly little guys to steal the money and savings of an urban family. It was like ants moving, working together in twos and threes. Carrying the coins and pieces of silver, the monk squatted under the wall, weighing the two or three most valuable pieces of silver, smiling from ear to ear.

A little adds up to a lot, never too little.

As a result, he turned around and saw a young man in white squatting next to him. Was he accompanying him to admire the moon?

Ye Xiu trembled with fright.

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "You can do this? Why don't you steal the gold and silver from a wealthy family?"

Ye Xiu swallowed his saliva and said tremblingly: "It's really difficult to deal with the door gods of those wealthy families. They killed the money-moving kid I worked so hard to raise for nothing, and I lost money on the business."

Cui Dongshan nodded, "That's true."

Ye Xiu's eyes turned rapidly, and he wanted to run away and kill the weird boy in front of him? For a few taels of silver, what? Besides, God knows who killed whom?

Cui Dongshan stretched out his two fingers, picked up a little money thief that was as tall as a thumb, put it in the palm of his hand, clasped his hands together, and kneaded it randomly. The little Shanze Yexiu's eyes trembled when he saw it, okay? , one of his generals was killed in battle. How could he withstand being rounded and squashed like this? The money-stealing brats he raised were of extremely low quality, otherwise they wouldn’t even be as good as the door gods of wealthy families. Can't even get past it.

When Ye Xiu was feeling distressed, Cui Dongshan spread his hands. The grinning money-stealing kid seemed to be wearing an extra red dress. He threw it on the ground and ordered: "Let's go and steal a piece of gold from a rich man's house." .”

The little guy clenched his hands into fists, puffed out his cheeks and ran away, working very hard.

After about a stick of incense, I actually carried a piece of gold back to it the size of a fingernail.

The wild cultivator was dumbfounded. After he came to his senses, he quickly clasped his fists and said, "The immortal master's magical powers are so eye-opening."

Cui Dongshan stood up and disappeared in a flash, leaving behind an excited Shanze Yexiu.

After visiting the civil and military temples in the county town, Cui Dongshan couldn't stand their respectful treatment, so he made some nonsense and left quickly.

It was really boring, so Cui Dongshan randomly gave a painted door god to a family, using the finishing touch to make the two door gods condense into prototypes of golden bodies. They were still far away from the real gods, but they could only be used to scare people. It's just the most useless evil thing, it can better block evil spirits. Then he went to the second richest family in the county and broke off the ridges on the eaves of their house one by one and threw them away.

Aimlessly, follow your heart.

Cui Dongshan is the only one who is so boring as an Earth Immortal.

That night, after Cui Dongshan left with Shi Rou, Chen Ping'an walked out of the house after practicing the heaven and earth piles, gently knocked on the door next door, and said with an angry smile: "It's so late, I still can't sleep."

Pei Qian was reading a novel about knight-errants that he had just received. After Chen Pingan knocked on the door, he quickly blew out the oil lamp and jumped on the bed, pretending to be woken up just now. "I'm asleep. Master, why haven't you gone to bed yet?" ?Do you need me to open the door?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and didn't care about this lie. He reminded: "You don't have to open the door. You can't read books at any time, don't hurt your eyes. We don't have to rush tomorrow, you can read again during the day."

Chen Pingan turned around and left. He remembered something and said at the door: "After I leave, don't hold the oil lamp and hide under the quilt to read."

Pei Qian opened his mouth wide in the room. Master is really awesome. Can you guess this?

She could only agree: "I know."

After Chen Pingan left, although he was still thinking about the grievances and swordplay in the novel, Pei Qian still resisted the temptation and began to sleep. He just kept his eyes wide open, not feeling sleepy, and fell asleep slowly after a long time. go.

The next day, after breakfast, Cui Dongshan was teaching Chen Pingan how to play chess in Chen Pingan's house, still struggling with the little tip.

First, Lu Baixiang watched on the sidelines. He was entranced by the sight. Finally, he quickly left during the gap and called Sui Youyou to come over and watch the chess together. He said it was wonderful. Sui Youyou was once beaten by Lu Baixiang on the chessboard with a small gesture. She had a sharp start and lost all her armor. She refused to believe in evil and allowed Lu Baixiang to use this pattern for three consecutive games. As a result, she lost all her first moves and lost so badly that she made an exception and made a series of unreasonable moves, but still won. He didn't look back at the situation, so when Lu Baixiang said that he understood the best chess game in the world and had only realized three or four points of the essence earlier, Sui Youyou became interested and followed him to see how Cui Dongshan taught people to play chess. Yes, how did Chen Pingan learn chess from others?

Zhu Lian soon followed to join in the fun, and Wei Xian finally walked into the house.

It's just that Sui Youyou quickly lost his interest in watching chess. Chen Pingan's talent for playing chess is really too mediocre. Cui Dongshan's teachings are so superb, but Chen Pingan is so inexperienced.

It was inevitable that Sui Youyou, who had already mastered Go, felt anxious and bored, so he left silently. During this period, Sui Youyou couldn't help but take a few more glances at the old man standing behind Cui Dongshan. He looked awkward, and felt that he was even more disgusting than Zhu Lian... an old sissy? You are a man who dare not look at others, but you still like to purse your lips and twist your clothes with your orchid fingers. What's going on?

After Zhu Lian and Wei Xian left on Sui's right side, they walked out of the house one after another.

In the battle in Old Dragon City, the battlefield was severely fragmented, so the four people in the scroll had never seen Tongye Zong Du Mao. As for the withered and beautiful ghost Shirou who had been staying in the yellow paper talisman, they had never seen it, so when Du Mao After Mao's immortal relics appeared, Sui Zuoyuan and others were kept in the dark, and they could only treat it as an outsider that Cui Dongshan picked up from somewhere.

After lunch that day, Cui Dongshan began to stay at home.

In the early morning of the next day, the group of people continued on their way to the capital of Qingluan Kingdom.

Originally, there was the ox in the accompanying team, which was very eye-catching, but when Cui Dongshan rode the ox, although it still attracted attention, passers-by who saw this scene just guessed that this handsome young man should be from Zhongming. It's a bit strange that Ding Shi's family travels far and wide with his followers, but at such a young age, he is somewhat of a celebrity.

With Cui Dongshan here, the journey was more casual.

The four people in the picture scroll each had their own taste of it. If Chen Ping'an met the two friends, Zhang Shanfeng and Xu Yuanxia, ​​his whole person was lively and upbeat and no longer old-fashioned, then when he reunited with this disciple in a foreign country, it was Although the relationship between the teacher and the student is measured and leisurely, although it is not in line with the secular norm, Chen Pingan seems to have less weight on his shoulders. Moreover, as a teacher, Chen Pingan, in addition to learning chess, would also consult with this disciple on Legalist knowledge.

Cui Dongshan was always grabbing money from his pocket along the way, never letting his husband spend a single copper coin.

While Cui Dongshan and Chen Pingan were chatting, the four people in the painting also gained a lot, and their understanding of this vast world became clearer and broader.

For example, Lu Baixiang knew that in this world full of wonders, in addition to reaching the peak of enlightenment and martial arts, there is also the pure Confucianism and scholarship, and the real hard work in learning and cultivating the mind.

There are also many qi practitioners from various schools of thought who are regarded as real people cultivating Taoism. They attach great importance to Taoist lineage and despise the strength of cultivation.

Sui Youyou saw how Cui Dongshan's bizarre immortal magic skills fit in with daily life.

When there was no one around, Zhu Lian consulted Cui Dongshan twice more. His idea was very simple, he just wanted to determine how many fairy magic weapons this guy had.

Wei Xian was still the most taciturn, and he was the most talkative with Pei Qian. They were one big and one small, and they were all together all day long.

After Cui Dongshan left the Sui capital on his previous trip, the two traveled together and occasionally disappeared for a period of time, but Chen Pingan never asked.

"Old man" Shi Rou finally shakes off some of her makeup. She no longer walks with her waist twisted like a woman's. She no longer has the natural flow of eyes, nor does she unconsciously twist her orchid fingers. She finally looks like a serious white-haired old man. .

But Shi Rou is still the most disliked person in this team, and his status in the world is probably not as good as scalpers.

Pei Qian practices the White Ape Back Swordsmanship and the Drag Knife Style. She is more diligent. Anyway, it is just a show, but it is also majestic. She does not have to suffer the pain of pulling out muscles and bones. Compared with the six-step walking pile, she prefers to use the bamboo sword made by Chen Ping'an for her. Sword, practice the set of swordsmanship and swordsmanship taught to her by the female crown Huang Ting. Just once, Cui Dongshan, who was sitting cross-legged on the back of an ox, described her sword skills in a sly tone. Cui Dongshan laughed so much that he fell directly from the back of the ox and fell to the ground, which shocked Pei Qian. I was depressed for several days and only dared to practice pile walking every day.

The group arrived at the county closest to the capital of Qingluan Kingdom.

I don’t know how Cui Dongshan found it, but everyone settled in an Xianjia Inn, which was a quiet place in the middle of the noise.

Chen Ping'an really didn't have any talent for playing chess, but he didn't just throw it away, nor did he take advantage of it and delay his boxing and sword skills. He spent almost an hour every day learning chess from Cui Dongshan.

When we arrived at the Xianjia Inn called Baihuayuan, it was said that the innkeeper was a sea-viewing monk with the face of a middle-aged man, but he did not show up in front of Chen Pingan and the others. The inn occupies a large area and is planted with many exotic flowers and plants, which is refreshing. Since the Debate on Buddhism and Taoism was about to be held in the capital not far away, there were not many rooms left in the Xianjia Inn in the county. Pei Qian once again slept in the right room with Sui Sui, while Lu Baixiang, Zhu Lian and Wei Xian squeezed in. During this time, Cui Dongshan, Shi Rou, and Chen Pingan were the only ones occupying a room to themselves.

Living here is expensive, but it is worth it. There are many benefits that cannot be bought for money, such as some inside stories about Buddhism and Taoism on the mountain. In a form similar to the official residence newspaper, the innkeeper will give it to the guests every day. . In addition, each room has a few cute little spiritual objects. They are called fairy artifacts, but they are actually made of bits and pieces of leftover materials, worth a total of two or three snow coins. , can be taken away by guests.

This made Pei Qian happy.

After talking nicely to Sui Zuozuo, he got the small items in their room, and then went to talk to Wei Xiaobai and invited them to eat melon seeds and fruits. They lingered, unwilling to leave the house. In the end, Zhu Liang got tired of it. He asked Pei Qian to take the three small things and disappear quickly. Finally, adding the four items in Chen Ping'an's house, Pei Qian suddenly had ten more low-level spiritual weapons. As a useless burden, the Immortal Master of the Lower Five Realms simply couldn't afford to live here. As a result, Pei Qian became "rich overnight" and the multi-treasure box "could not accommodate" so many treasures that he had to put it in Chen Ping'an temporarily. Among the things within easy reach.

The place where the immortal master stays must be quiet and distant, and after taking care of the relationship with the government, you can create a formation that hides the wind and gathers water, and the spiritual energy is much better than that in the market.

Moreover, the two painted door gods posted at the door of the inn are real talisman door gods. Once an evil spirit approaches, they can step out as magical warriors wearing golden armor, fight and sharpen, and eat ghosts and ghosts.

In addition, there will be a small plate of fairy fruits and vegetables on the table every day, which is the specialty of a farmer monk in Baihuayuan, and it is also the golden sign of this mountain inn located at the foot of the mountain.

When Pei Qian was copying, he rested his pen several times and twisted his wrist, and he saw Chen Pingan staring at the plate of dates and pears in a daze.

She couldn't understand.

I just felt that Master seemed to have remembered something not so happy.

When she finished copying the book, she found that Chen Pingan was still sitting where he was, just turning his head and looking out the window.

Pei Qian was a little worried and joked: "Master, what's the matter? Do you miss your master's wife?"

Chen Pingan came to his senses and said with a smile: "Want to copy another five hundred words?"

Pei Qian grimaced.

Chen Pingan stood up, patted Pei Qian on the head, and began to practice six-step walking around the table.

Pei Qian is getting more and more strange. Nowadays, Chen Ping'an mostly practices the three-in-one heaven and earth pile, and no longer just practices this most basic and simple boxing pile.

Pei Qian put away his paper and pen, lay on the table, and asked casually: "Master, haven't you been afraid of ghosts since you were a child?"

Chen Pingan walked slowly and replied: "Unlike you, I wasn't afraid when I was very young. Instead, I hoped that there would be ghosts in the world. I often went to the slightly larger fairy grave outside my hometown town alone. I have never been afraid of going to the mountains with others to cut firewood and burning charcoal, or going alone to find soil suitable for making porcelain."

Pei Qian wowed, "Master is really talented."

Chen Pingan laughed it off without explaining the reason.

At noon that day, the innkeeper sent another Xianjiadi newspaper with various contents. It recorded one incident that interested Chen Pingan the most. After learning chess from Cui Dongshan, he asked Cui Dongshan for his opinion.

Wei Liang, the commander-in-chief of the Qingluan Kingdom, was on his way to the north when he passed by a state city. Because of a trivial matter, he uncovered two officials who were derelict in their duties. One general was corrupt and perverted the law, taking bribes of tens of thousands of taels of silver. When the trouble came to an end, he actually beheaded the latter first and then killed him directly.

Cui Dongshan didn't think much and blurted out: "This is the Legalist style of doing things. For the latter, ordinary people often regard the latter as less guilty than the former, but the Legalists insist on adding a higher level of guilt."

Cui Dongshan smiled and asked: "Sir, can you figure out where the joints are?"

After Chen Pingan thought deeply, he sighed: "It's really amazing."

Cui Dongshan said casually: "Outside of the three religions, those hundreds of schools of thought that have been able to stand for thousands of years and have been passed down to this day have their own roots and uniqueness. So a guy has long said that my life also has a limit. There is no limit to knowledge, so there is no limit as long as there is no limit. Lay people like the first half of the sentence, but those who practice Taoism will find it more wonderful in the second half. In the final analysis, there are three teachings and hundreds of schools of knowledge, and I am afraid that a monk will spend his whole life just by himself. , I dare not say that I have reached the end of knowledge. It depends on how you choose. If you choose, how much knowledge has truly become your own ability, and if you give it away, whether you have picked the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon."

Chen Pingan nodded.

Cui Dongshan grabbed a fragrant pear and chewed it, and said vaguely: "It's just that knowledge is knowledge, and being a person is a person. There is some relationship, but no absolute relationship. That's why the world is complicated. How a person lives depends on Which books you read, and whether they are useful or not, all depend on your own fate and cause and effect. There are too many idiots in the world who don’t know how to read. The first thing is to let us know more about the world. This blinds the three religions and hundreds of schools of thought. The sincere words of the sages. The sages impart knowledge, and the scriptures are like lanterns hanging at night. There are different roads, and the lanterns have different sizes, but it is a pity that the world is blind."

Chen Pingan was noncommittal.

Cui Dongshan had nothing to say, so he changed the subject and talked about the glorious deeds of the little treasure bottle.

It is said that at the end of last year, Li Huai, a little fool, had a dispute with his classmates. He took a book that had just been distributed by the academy and said it belonged to him. Li Huai could not provide any evidence. As a result, Li Baoping just happened to Passing by, she immediately concluded the case. She used a trick, took the book, and said to Li Huai and the two of them, since they couldn't explain it clearly, just tear it in half, one half for each person. Li Huai was anxious, but the other child happily agreed, so Li Baoping threw the book to Li Huai and beat the other child severely. An old man who had been watching from a distance burst out laughing. The child didn't know what was wrong, so he cried and complained to the old master, but he got slapped again.

After hearing this, Chen Pingan laughed heartily.

Pei Qian listened on the side and sighed: "The guy who stole the book is too stupid. Alas, there are so many stupid people in the world that we can't do anything."

Chen Ping'an threw a chestnut at it, "It's not a matter of stupidity or not. It's wrong to steal the book from the beginning. It's even more wrong to steal the book so smart that it doesn't reveal its flaws."

Pei Qian said aggrievedly: "I didn't say I stole the book."

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "There are many stupid and bad people in the world. Confucianism cannot teach these people."

Pei Qian was convinced and nodded: "The Legalist school you just talked about is quite good. It seems to be very effective in dealing with bad guys."

At this point, Pei Qian immediately shut up, for fear that Chen Ping'an would be angry.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "You are right to think so now, but you still need to read more books. Don't think that you have got the correct answer now."

Pei Qian thought for a while and said, "Then Confucianism is better."

She is already tired enough of copying that Confucian classic. If she adds another Legalist book, isn't she asking for trouble?

Cui Dongshan raised his thumb and said, "He is indeed as strong as Zhu Lian said."

Pei Qian pretended not to hear.

Cui Dongshan asked with a smile: "Pei Qian, do you have a good relationship with Wei Xian?"

Pei Qian was wary and said with a smile: "The relationship is normal."

Cui Dongshan exclaimed, "You have to adapt to the wind, you are very smart."

Pei Qian rolled his eyes.

When it comes to the master, he flatters me one after another. When he comes to me, he can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. He doesn't have a good word to say. This guy is really annoying.

One day, this person surnamed Cui annoyed the master, and as the founding disciple, she also practiced peerless swordsmanship and knife skills. She just learned from the novels about knight-errant novels and cleaned up the family!

Cui Dongshan was like a roundworm in Pei Qian's belly, and said with a smile: "Why, with your poor swordsmanship, do you want to find an opportunity to fight with me one day in the future?"

Pei Qian looked confused, "What are you talking about?"

Cui Dongshan picked up a date from the small saucer and lightly hit Pei Qian on the forehead, "Young man, are you going to fight with me?"

Pei Qian stretched out his hand to catch the falling dates and pretended to throw them back. Cui Dongshan remained motionless. Several times Pei Qian made movements, Cui Dongshan smiled and remained motionless. Pei Qian thought that he would not be able to hit this guy. What if he did? If she succeeded, she probably couldn't eat it herself and walked around in the end, so she simply stuffed the dates into her mouth and glared at him fiercely.

Cui Dongshan suddenly panicked, "No, this jujube is the descendant of the Baihuayuan jujube tree Jingmei. We Qi practitioners are not afraid of being haunted by that Jingmei. You, Pei Qian, are such a little kid, that guy must think you are a soft persimmon and can be bullied, so You must be careful to control the doors and windows before going to bed, otherwise branches will crawl into the house in the middle of the night, which is really scary..."

While speaking, Cui Dongshan also deliberately twisted his arms and vividly imitated how a tree spirit would sneak into a house and harm people.

Pei Qian was so frightened that he immediately took out his beloved talisman, placed it heavily on his forehead, and then crossed his arms across his chest.

Cui Dongshan lamented, "No, this talisman of yours is a pagoda demon-suppressing talisman, and the plants and trees become spirits. You don't want to do this."

Pei Qian took out the Yang Qi Lantern Talisman that Chen Ping'an gave her later and put it on her forehead.

Cui Dongshan fisted his fist and said worriedly: "Don't, this talisman is a guide talisman, and it can't resist ghosts and spirits. It might attract the attention of other tree spirits and think you are provoking them. When the time comes, the flowers and plants will The spirits, followed by the jujube tree spirits, will go to your house as guests, and they will be everywhere beside your bed and under your bed."

Pei Qian pursed his lips and wrinkled his charcoal face, and tears began to well up in his eyes.

Chen Pingan slapped Cui Dongshan on the head, laughed and scolded: "Stop scaring Pei Qian."

Cui Dongshan said oh, then held his belly with both hands and pointed at Pei Qian who suddenly realized, "Haha, you are a little idiot!"

Pei Qian became so angry that she went to the next room to take out the hiking pole. After all, she still felt that her original crazy sword technique was more powerful and she wanted to fight with him!

Seeing that the situation was bad, Cui Dongshan had already greased his feet and ran away.

After Cui Dongshan slipped away, Pei Qian squeezed out a smile with Chen Ping'an and said, "Master, I was pretending to be scared just now. Even without these two talismans, I would recite the sages' books before going to bed at night, and I would definitely be able to eliminate evil. If you don’t invade, ghosts won’t come close, right?”

Chen Pingan looked at the little guy with two talismans on his forehead, suppressed a smile, nodded and said, "Maybe so."

Pei Qian was a little panicked, "Just 'possible'?"

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "This is the Xianjia Inn, how can anyone dare to harm the guests?"

Pei Qian said pitifully: "What if?"

Chen Ping'an was stunned and touched her head, "Don't worry, I'm right next door to you. What are you afraid of?"

Pei Qian's eyes lit up, and he quickly took off the talisman and put it in his sleeve. He ran to the window and stood on tiptoes, muttering to the garden. They were nothing more than innocent words such as "My master is Chen Ping'an" and "Let's not offend the river."

Elsewhere in the inn, Sui Youyou took the initiative to find Cui Dongshan and asked, "Do you have a secret method for raising your natal flying sword?"

Cui Dongshan smiled and said nothing.

Sui Youyou asked directly: "What do you want me to pay?"

Cui Dongshan sat at the table, looked at the woman with a sword standing at the door, and said with a smile: "It's very simple, don't forget your roots."

Sui Youyou frowned and said, "How do you say that?"

Cui Dongshan had a look of disgust on his face and waved his hand to chase them away, "I don't even understand this. How dare you expect that as a pure martial artist, you can warm up the embryo of the Flying Sword as soon as possible?"

The right side of Sui's face was as frosty as he turned and left.

Cui Dongshan didn't take it seriously, thought about it, and went to Wei Xian's residence.

Zhu Lian was visiting Baihua Garden, but he happened not to be in the house. The door was unlocked, so Cui Dongshan pushed the door open and entered.

Wei Xian was reading some local county annals and official unofficial histories that he bought along the way. He put down the book and asked, "Is something wrong?"

Cui Dongshan's overhaul was swaying. After crossing the threshold, the door closed on its own.

Cui Dongshan stretched out a palm and clenched his fist lightly, "Wei Xian, you don't look at the process, you only look at the results. Among the four of them, you are the biggest bastard in chess, but you are also the one who is unintentionally the closest to chess. There will be a punch, and sooner or later you will smash it." If my husband wants to do harm to you, why don't I beat you to death today?"

Wei Xian said calmly: "If you want to accuse someone, why bother?"

Cui Dongshan waved his sleeves, and a scroll fell on the table next to Wei Xian, along with three gold coins.

Cui Dongshan strode forward, holding his back with one hand and clenching his fist with the other, "If you kill me by mistake, I will kill you by mistake. I will kill you until your level drops to the point where it can no longer fall. Wait until my husband recovers from his injuries and then take advantage of the situation to break through the bottleneck of the five realms. You can do it again when the time comes." If you want to take action, you can no longer do it.”

Wei Xian sneered and said: "I want to see whether it is me who has suffered more loss when I fall into this situation, or whether you have lost your status as master and apprentice. Do you really think that I don't know that this scroll is a cover-up for you Cui Dongshan? Chen Ping'an You and I must know who he is."

Cui Dongshan was slightly surprised and slowed down, "I underestimated you, the founding emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom, before. Tell me, we both know very well that you Wei Xian is the real hidden danger, but why are you so late?" I am very curious because I have been reluctant to take action for a long time, is it because... Pei Qian? "

Wei Xian was expressionless and silent.

Cui Dongshan sat down with a smile, "I took advantage of the opportunity of playing chess with my husband to help him review the game. I asked about all the details about the Ouhua Blessed Land, including the origins of the four of you in the scroll. As for the background, as long as he knows it, I know it, and I will pay attention to the clues that he didn't pay attention to."

Cui Dongshan pointed to an unpopular unofficial history book on the table, "For example, according to later unofficial records of the Nanyuan Kingdom, their iron-blooded founding emperor doted on the little princess who died young. For her sake, he sent all the court officials Alchemist, go out to look for immortals. So in your eyes, Wei Xian, how similar are Pei Qian and your daughter? Can you kill Chen Pingan so that you can resurrect her in the Lotus Flower Blessed Land, or simply rely on Pei Qian? Body, father and daughter reunited in this vast world? Well, maybe you Wei Xian will still die, but after all, she can live one more life. As for whether it is in Nanyuan Kingdom, her hometown, it doesn't matter. Anyway, her relatives are already withered bones. In the vast world, your achievements may be greater, so you, Wei Xian, choose to wait silently, hoping to pave the way for her? Accumulate more wealth and avoid the end of another premature death? So Chen Pingan must be killed, but for the many treasures in him, you Also, so that I can leave some money to the new Pei for her future cultivation wealth?"

Wei Xian clenched his fists under the table.

Cui Dongshan clicked his tongue and said: "My husband said it well. That old man is really a master of Taoism and has no clues. Within the rules, he has his own choice whether he gives Chen Ping'an, gives money to Pei, or gives you Wei Xian. In Plan the high road within certain rules.”

Wei Xian sincerely praised: "Although I don't understand chess, Mr. Cui's chess skills are indeed superb."

Then Wei Xian smiled and said, "But if I beat Chen Ping'an to death and refuse to admit it, what can Mr. Cui do?"

Cui Dongshan laughed heartily, "Do you, Wei Xian, really think you know Chen Pingan? Not to mention some of my unique secret techniques to detain the soul and ask you to speak the truth. I am sure that as long as I tell Chen Pingan these inferences truthfully, your Wei Xian's The end should be... I drew a circle with my flying sword to cover the world, and then Chen Pingan, using his current cultivation level, beat you Wei Xian to death three times in a row. The most important thing is not these, but that you, Wei Xian, are destined to never see each other again in this life. The person you most want to see.”

Wei Xian released his fist under the table and said calmly, "That's true."

This should be the first time Cui Dongshan calls Chen Pingan by his name in front of the four people in the picture scroll.

Cui Dongshan controlled the flying sword and drew a circle with the golden light. He then took out the picture of the horse racing, unfolded it, intercepted a section of the flow of time, and said with a smile: "Being friendly makes money, and there is no need to fight or kill. You, Wei Xian, have a good nature. I still lost because of my narrow vision. Come on, let me tell you, this old hater, how I used a lot of tattered pieces of broken porcelain to carefully piece together a living person in Lizhu Cave. Keep your dog eyes wide open and watch carefully, so that you can know that, except for that stinking bull-nosed master in your Ouhua Paradise, I, Cui Dongshan, have the same chance to make you get what you want. I can’t guarantee that it will happen, but there is a chance. It’s bigger than the fact that you, the founding emperor, are in danger of marching under my nose, right?”

After half a stick of incense.

Wei Xian stood up, lowered his head and clasped his fists without saying anything.

Cui Dongshan didn't speak after he put away the Time Scroll and Horse Racing Picture.

Wei Xian raised his head, still clasping his fists, "Sir, you are the Grand Master of Great Li, Xiuhu Cui Chan, right?"

Cui Dongshan raised his eyebrows, "He is indeed a man who has been an emperor. He knows the smallest things and is much smarter than Lu Baixiang."

Wei Xian's eyes were hot, "Master Imperial Master, can you tell me how to annex half of a continent with a small corner of the Great Li?"

Cui Dongshan smiled playfully, "Why do you make such a request to me?"

Wei Xian put away his posture and sat back, "Just because the Imperial Master is willing to waste so much saliva with me, Wei Xian, who is bound to lose in this room. There are always things in me that the Imperial Master considers valuable, but there are none today. , there will be in the future.”

Cui Dongshan nodded and said with emotion: "Old Wei, you are very wise. Chatting with you makes me feel less tired."

Wei Xian hesitated for a moment and was about to speak.

Cui Dongshan waved his hand, "I know what you want to say. This is the key to your true survival. As my husband's first disciple, Pei Qian, you must be really cruel and treat her with evil intentions and only treat her as a human being." Deputy Puppet Skin, once you reveal any clues, you will be dead long ago. I will not kill you, but Chen Ping'an."

Cui Dongshan's eyes were deep, "You are waiting for the opportunity, Chen Pingan is just waiting for you to take action. It may be the case, it may not be the case, but the possibility is relatively high."

Wei Xian shook his head, "I don't believe this."

Cui Dongshan held the back of his head with both hands, raised his head and said, "That's because you don't know who Chen Ping'an is competing with mentally. So you, Wei Xian, have a narrow vision."

Wei Xian asked: "What does the Imperial Master want?"

Cui Dongshan sighed, "It's hard to say, let's wait and see. Remember, don't call me National Master in the future. Now I am half an enemy of myself."

Cui Dongshan stood up, waved his sleeves, and a map of the situation of Aquarius Continent appeared on the ground. It was the map before the Song family of Dali ate the Lu Dynasty. Cui Dongshan walked to the northernmost map position of Yizhou, full of energy. , laughed loudly and said: "I have nothing to do, so I will tell you about my great achievements in the past, how I went all the way south, and how I will turn a continent into a country in the future!"

————

After Pei Qian left the house.

Chen Ping'an was alone, closing his eyes to rest and seeming a little tired.

He opened his eyes, stood up, and walked to the window.

Another spring is coming to an end.

Chen Ping'an lay on the window and looked out the window with a smile.

A newly opened mansion of the Immortal family in Yunxia Mountain is the current monastic residence of the fairy Cai Jinjian.

The mansion is close to a cliff and has a wide view, allowing you to overlook the distance.

She dismissed those maids with acceptable monastic qualifications, and sat cross-legged on the futon alone, holding a scroll that she never showed anyone.

Cai Jinjian is now famous in Yunxia Mountain, and even among the many immortal sects in Aquarius Continent, he has become a young leader who is qualified to be on an equal footing with the earthly immortals.

In addition to her skyrocketing level after returning from Lizhu Cave, there are also many unknown secrets, such as her irreversible relationship with Fu Nanhua, the old dragon city.

And Cai Jinjian has experienced ups and downs, especially after the life and death disaster that even the ancestor of his sect was not told about. Cai Jinjian has undergone a completely different change in both his cultivation and his character, which is amazing.

Cai Jinjian often traveled down the mountain in the past few years, but in the past two years he often retreated.

Cai Jinjian opened the scroll in his hand. On it was a Confucian scholar in blue shirt with frosty white temples.

She painted it herself.

In the eyes of others, Cai Jinjian, who is becoming more determined in his Taoism and has a promising future, lowered his head, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and said softly: "Mr. Qi."

She slowly put away the scroll, held it in her arms, and wandered thousands of miles away.

When he came back from the dead and parted ways with Mr. Qi, he said he had something to ask for.

Of course Cai Jinjian is willing.

Mr. Qi asked her to help send a picture of the horse racing through time to the Sword Qi Great Wall of Daoxuan Mountain.

And after that, Mr. Qi asked her to help and sent several paintings one after another.

The main character in the scroll is none other than the boy from Mud Ping Alley. The contents of the scroll include Chen Pingan, the child in Lizhu Cave, traveling to the Great Sui Dynasty, and then going south alone to deliver the sword. The last painting is before arriving in Caiyi Kingdom. , after that, Mr. Qi thanked her and said goodbye to Cai Jinjian.

Cai Jinjian once had the courage to ask curiously if he could browse the scroll.

Mr. Qi smiled gently, nodded and said yes.

On the last scroll, Mr. Qi appeared and said some last words.

It was meant for the guy from the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

"I have a heartfelt request, please consider it, Miss Ning."

"This kind of Chen Pingan will be kind to the world. Then please Miss Ning, please be kind to Chen Pingan."

"If Miss Ning still doesn't like Chen Ping'an in the end, it doesn't matter. Just please don't let my junior brother feel too sad about the word love. Qi Jingchun would like to thank you."

At this moment, Cai Jinjian raised his head and stared into the distance.

Mr. Qi always makes people feel refreshed.
