Sword of Coming

Since he was going to stay in the county town for a day, Chen Pingan took Pei Qian out for fun. At a paper kite shop, he bought Pei Qian the wooden kite, a specialty of Qingluan country. The price was quite high. When Chen Pingan paid for it, he could see it. Pei Qian's heart ached. He tugged on Chen Ping'an's sleeves and pointed to a large pile of relatively cheap butterfly kites in the shop, saying that they were actually quite pretty. Chen Pingan touched Pei Qian's head and said with a smile that there was no need to save the money. The master knew about daily expenses.

Before buying the wooden harrier, Pei Qian was both happy and distressed, but after buying it, he was just happy. He had a sword on his waist, an expensive wooden harrier in his hand, and smiled so much that the corner of his mouth could reach behind his ears.

I took Pei Qian to several scenic spots that must be visited by tourists in the county and city, such as the Street of the City God Temple, the Forest of Pagodas and Monuments, and an ancient residence of a former prime minister. The whole morning passed leisurely.

At noon, Chen Ping'an took Pei Qian down to a small restaurant for lunch. It was good quality and cheap, but a bit spicy. Pei Qian was sweating profusely and his eyes were blurred with sweat, but he still took off his chopsticks like flying.

When there was not much left of the three dishes on the table, Pei Qian, who was sweating like rain, wiped his dark face hard, and suddenly found that Chen Pingan had put down his chopsticks and looked at him with a smile. Pei Qian smiled, a little embarrassed, and felt that This guy looks a little bad when it comes to eating. Please take it easy in the future, otherwise you may accidentally embarrass your master when you go out to travel around the world.

Back at the Xianjia Inn, Chen Pingan helped her choose an open space in the Baihua Garden, and Pei Qian started to fly the kites.

Chen Ping'an sat on the bench inside the pavilion, watching the thin girl running around, the paper kites floating in the wind, and sipping a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine that was only close by, feeling peaceful.

Pei Qian turned around and asked loudly: "Master, do you want to come and release the kites?"

Chen Pingan waved his hand.

Pei Qian continued to run away.

The gardens of Baihua Garden are full of wonders and beauties, and they are so beautiful.

Cui Dongshan led Sui Zuo to the pavilion. After Cui Dongshan bowed and saluted, he sat cross-legged on a bench with his back against the red lacquer pavilion pillars. Sui Zuo did not sit down and said, "Chen Pingan, I plan to leave here and go there in advance." Jade Guizong of Tongyezhou.”

Chen Pingan was not surprised and nodded: "Be careful on the road."

Sui Zuoyi waited quietly for the next sentence, but after Chen Pingan said these four words, he seemed to have finished all his words. Sui Youyou had a cold face, neither leaving the pavilion nor speaking, and the atmosphere was awkward as he confronted Chen Pingan.

Chen Ping'an glanced at Cui Dongshan, who understood clearly and drew a large circle around the pavilion with a golden flying sword to isolate a small world to prevent prying eyes from inside and outside the inn. After all, it is not a small world worthy of the name and may not be able to block the ground. Immortals can view mountains and rivers with the palm of their hands, but in this way, Cui Dongshan will feel it in his heart and casually kill the bullshit Jindan Yuanying in such a small place as Qingluan country. What's the difficulty? Don't treat Uncle Cui as a root.

Chen Pingan then said: "Sui Zuoyi, then I will tell you some shocking truth. Whether you like it or not, you have to listen to it. First of all, the Chixin Sword was lent to you. You have to return it, and there is also the piece of truth." You have to pay back the money for the Dragon Slaying Platform. Secondly, the matter of joining the genealogy of the Great Li Dynasty is something you and I have agreed on before and cannot be regretted, so before you leave Aquarius Continent, you have to let Cui Dongshan finalize it. , don’t just leave. Third, I will keep the scroll, but once you change from a pure martial artist to a sword practitioner, whether the gold and copper coins can continue to let you get out of the scroll, you and I don’t care about this matter. Sure, so in addition to being careful all the way south and not acting on your will, when you get to Jade Guizong, you have to control your temper. As a sword cultivator, practicing swordsmanship is cultivation, but cultivation is not just about practicing swordsmanship."

Sui glanced at Chen Pingan on his right side and nodded slowly.

Cui Dongshan wiped the corners of his eyes, pretending to choke and said: "It's touching. If I were a woman with a little conscience, I wouldn't leave."

He turned to look at the paper kite in the sky outside the pavilion, "The world only thinks that gods are so carefree, but I only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals."

Chen Ping'an and Sui Youyou ignored Cui Dongshan's gag.

Sui's right side remained silent.

Chen Ping'an said: "Are you ready for the trip? I didn't ask, it's definitely not. You guys don't make a living along the way, so I'll prepare two money bags for you, one bag of worldly gold and silver, and one bag of gold and silver. I don’t even have a few Xue money or Xiaoshu money left, and I don’t even have any Guyu money left. So if you go south to Tongyezhou, you won’t have the chance to spend a lot. You might choose the Xianjia ferry and route along the way. You need to make more plans on your own, and you can’t live in an expensive room, so you don’t have to walk halfway through the trip, which can easily lead to complications.”

Chen Ping'an suddenly changed his mind, "You can go to Old Dragon City first, find Fan Er, tell him what I promised you, and ask him to lend you money."

Chen Pingan stretched out a palm and said, "Five Guyu coins at most, five at most!"

The right corner of Sui's mouth was slightly raised, but he still didn't speak.

Chen Ping'an thought she was mocking his stingy financial obsession, and said angrily: "There is no need to discuss it. If I die, I can only borrow five pills from Fan Er."

Sui nodded on his right side and said, "Okay."

Cui Dongshan thought about it and decided not to overstep his bounds and act as a good boy for Chen Ping'an. In small matters, it doesn't matter that he, a poor disciple who cannot escape the fate of making money, helps his husband with everything. In such big matters involving life and death, it doesn't matter. , let’s leave it to the husband to handle it himself.

However, two bags of money still appeared out of thin air in Cui Dongshan's hands, threw them to Sui's right side, then turned to Chen Ping'an and smiled: "Mr. return it to me later."

Of course Chen Pingan had no objection.

Chen Ping'an and Sui Youyou actually don't like to be sloppy, so they really have nothing to say next.

Sui Zuiyi turned around and walked towards the pavilion. Cui Dongshan removed the restriction of the golden thunder pool. Sui Zuiyi walked down the steps without turning his head. Cui Dongshan clicked his tongue at the sight. She was really a prodigal and cruel woman.

Cui Dongshan just smiled knowingly, closed his eyes, made fists with both hands, began to count, said one silently, and stretched out a finger.

After Sui Youyou left the pavilion, he found Pei Qian. Pei Qian quickly collected the kite and started chatting with Sui Youyou. He nodded and shook his head, then quickly ran towards the pavilion and panted: "Master, Sister Sui said I want to If you want you to give her a ride, just get to the door of the inn, no need to send her far."

Cui Dongshan just counted to ten, his fists turned into palms, he laughed, and winked at Chen Pingan.

Chen Pingan felt that this was human nature, so he quickly followed Sui Youyou, who was already walking away.

After Chen Ping'an followed Sui Zuoyuan, they were speechless. When they arrived at the door of the inn, behind them were two painted door gods as tall as anyone on the door.

Sui stopped on his right, and Chen Pingan followed suit.

Sui didn't look at Chen Ping'an on his right side. He raised his head, looked at the clear blue sky, and said softly: "Don't you always think that I am a burden, so you feel a lot more relaxed when I say I want to leave."

Chen Ping'an turned to look at Sui's right side profile and said with a smile: "Don't always think so badly of people."

It is undeniable that Sui Youyou is a very beautiful woman, especially when she is not so cold-looking occasionally, she is like a flash in the pan, which makes people feel amazing.

I wonder if Sui Youyou will meet the man he likes in the world, and whether he will become a couple with someone in Tongyezhou Jade Guizong. It will probably be a young swordsman who is almost astonishingly talented.

Chen Ping'an was very curious about which man Sui You would like in the future, and he was also looking forward to seeing her standing side by side and greeting him when they meet again at Aquarius Continent next time.

Chen Ping'an couldn't help laughing when he thought of these unimaginable and very interesting scenes.

Sui turned his head on the right and asked strangely: "Why are you laughing?"

Chen Ping'an didn't dare to say what was in his heart, he was a little rude and frivolous. Sui Youyou was thin-skinned and temperamental, so he didn't want to have a good farewell and farewell, and ended up receiving one or two blows from Sui Youyou.

Chen Pingan just said: "Take care."

Sui Zuoyi strode away, and his next words to Chen Pingan were soft and heroic words, "I will soon become a swordsman in the upper five realms."

When he reached the end of the street, Sui turned his head to the right and saw that Chen Pingan was no longer there, only two painted door gods.

Sui Zuoyue smiled slightly and left.

————

As if they had made an appointment, just after Sui Youyou left, Lu Baixiang also came to say goodbye, saying that he was going to visit all the big temples in Qingluan Kingdom, including Baishui Temple, and then go to Qingshan Kingdom and Yunxiao Kingdom. Go, it will take about a few years to go to Longquan County, Chen Pingan's hometown.

Chen Pingan was in the room and glanced at Cui Dongshan, who quickly explained: "It has nothing to do with the students! If the students lie, they will kill themselves with the Five Thunder Method!"

Lu Baixiang smiled and said: "It really has nothing to do with Mr. Cui. It's me who wants to be alone, just like in the Ouhua Blessed Land, browsing the great mountains and rivers. I hope that within three years, in addition to reaching the seventh realm, I can also reach In the Far Traveling Realm, you can travel far and wide by the wind like a Qi practitioner, so as to see the beautiful scenery on the mountain. After that, Lu Baixiang will stay on its own terms and follow you as a follower to serve you. Until one day in the future, I can just be quiet and restless and travel outside."

Not long ago, Chen Ping'an had just returned two bags of silver and fairy money to Cui Dongshan. Now he had to pay again. He laughed angrily and said, "Tell me, how much money do you want to borrow from me as payment?"

Lu Baixiang laughed loudly, "You don't need any fairy money, just borrow some silver."

However, Chen Ping'an still gave two bags of money and handed them to Lu Baixiang, "A penny is difficult for a heroic man. It's better to keep this bag of snow money in case of emergency."

Lu Baixiang did not refuse politely. He took the money and suddenly laughed at himself: "If I die outside as soon as I go out, wouldn't it be extremely embarrassing?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "You will soon become a martial artist in the seventh realm, and you are not that impatient. Both of these are enough for you to run rampant in Aquarius Continent."

Lu Baixiang stood up to say goodbye, cupped his fists and said, "See you then?"

Chen Pingan returned the salute with cupped fists and said, "Goodbye."

Chen Pingan joked: "This is the vast world, not the blessed land of lotus root. Don't try to create a demon sect."

Cui Dongshan broke the news and said: "Lu Baixiang is not a fairy on the mountain. It doesn't matter if the Jianghu sect establishes a religion and claims to be the ancestor."

Pei Qian suddenly shouted: "Xiao Bai, wait for me."

Pei Qian turned around, took out the sachet and money bag given by Mrs. Gui, took out a snow coin from it, and ran to Lu Baixiang, "Xiaobai, reach out."

Lu Baixiang smiled and spread out a palm.

Pei Qian slapped the snowflake into the palm of Lu Baixiang's hand, and said solemnly: "Xiaobai, this is for you. The gift is not light, but the affection is even more important!"

Lu Baixiang held the snow coin. For this little Pixiu, asking her to take the initiative to take out a fairy coin, and whether it was a gift or a loan, was really a big deal. Lu Baixiang smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have traveled around the world in the past few years and will help you keep an eye out for some good things. See if you can get your hands on them. I will give them to you as a meeting gift next time we meet again."

Pei Qian nodded vigorously and said seriously: "After playing, don't delay practicing martial arts. The process of practicing martial arts is to sail against the current or retreat if you don't advance. You must learn from me, copy books and practice swordsmanship every day, and work diligently. , the stupid bird flies first!”

Lu Baixiang smiled and stretched out his hand, "I know."

Pei Qian deftly avoided the palm touching her head and complained: "The president is not tall."

She quickly smiled brightly at Chen Ping'an and said, "Master, it's okay to touch your head."

Lu Baixiang laughed heartily, and finally looked at the young god in white who was sitting next to Chen Pingan with his legs crossed. Cui Dongshan raised a palm and asked Lu Baixiang to take his words back, "Both of us, please don't dawdle. Qingqing, me, me."

Lu Baixiang left gracefully.

The room was silent.

Chen Pingan asked: "Do I need to prepare again? Who is Zhu Lian or Wei Xian next?"

Cui Dongshan pointed at himself.

Pei Qian had a sullen face and struggled to hold back his smile.

Cui Dongshan picked up a date, flicked it with his finger, and hit Pei Qian on the forehead accurately.

Pei Qian bent down to catch the dates, but did not dare to eat them this time, for fear that Cui Dongshan would scare her with the troubled situation again, so he only dared to put them back on the small plate on the table and sit next to Chen Ping'an.

Chen Pingan asked: "Don't you want to take a look at the debate on Buddhism and Taoism in Qingluan Kingdom?"

Cui Dongshan shook his head and revealed the secret: "Ordinary people can only see the two gangs in the capital's important areas quarreling. The stinky cow nose and the old bald donkey pointed at each other and cursed. It doesn't mean much. The real competition is in Baishui. The reincarnation of the Buddha in the temple, and the master of Baiyun Temple in the capital of Qingluan Kingdom, are between these two people. One was once a famous eminent monk, but he also has extremely high understanding in this life, and the other has no foundation and only knows how to A middle-aged Taoist priest who can read all kinds of books. But not many people will pay attention to these two people's discussion, but they are all a big trouble. Guanhu Academy, Yunlin Jiang Family, and maybe many more The wild cranes falling from the sky, and the old tortoise who rarely climbs out of the water to take a breath, I have seen the world, but I still look down on this debate. Besides, I have too many enemies, so it is not suitable to go there."

Chen Ping'an nodded and said: "Be careful when sailing the ten thousand year ship."

Cui Dongshan stood up and bowed to apologize, "As a student, I need to take Wei Xian with me. I beg you, sir, to agree."

Chen Pingan chewed the dates and said with a smile: "Shouldn't I thank you?"

For the first time, Cui Dongshan did not say those words that no one took seriously. He put his arms on the table, intertwined his fingers, and said slowly: "The situation in the central part of Aquarius Continent is complicated now. The mountains and mountains are in a mess. The wild cultivators of Shanze took advantage of the situation and robbed them, especially the fierce ones." , there are many earthly immortals who fish in troubled waters, many of whom are from decent immortal families and behave very unscrupulously. That Shujian Lake is originally a smelly water tank with fish and dragons mixed together, a big tank of smelly fish and rotten shrimps. So I suggest that Mr. leave. After arriving at the capital of Qingluan Kingdom, we will first go to the Cliff Academy in the Great Sui Dynasty, where we can just go there to refine the golden bile as the second natal item."

"I will write a letter. In addition to Da Li, I can directly send the remaining gold and copper coins to the academy. Mao Xiaodong will then help Mr. protect the formation. For Mr., it is the icing on the cake, but for the Gao family of the Great Sui Dynasty, But it can be regarded as a timely help. Sir, you don’t need to feel that you are taking advantage of others. The Sui Dynasty is a country with the peak of literary style, and it is most suitable to refine that golden literary bladder of excellent quality."

"After that, it doesn't matter whether I revisit Caiyi Country and Shushui Country or return to Longquan County and take a look at the old house."

"After that, sir, it will be safe for you to go to Shujian Lake. The central part of Aquarius Continent will have stabilized by then. Maybe a piece of peace and quiet plaque issued by the Ministry of Rites of the Great Li can make an Earth Immortal bow his head."

Chen Pingan thought for a long time, took off the sword gourd and took a sip of the medicinal wine. He finally nodded and said: "It's feasible. After leaving Qingluan Kingdom, we will generally follow the route you planned."

Cui Dongshan made no secret of his relief, "Don't worry, sir, there is absolutely no plot to harm you here. Besides, you and I, student, are now like grasshoppers on a rope. If you walk one path, the higher your success will be." Even if I, Cui Dongshan, am too lazy to do nothing all day, I can still take advantage of my husband and be forcibly promoted by my husband."

Chen Pingan hesitated for a moment, "How do you deal with that person in Beijing now?"

Cui Dongshan banged his head on the table, looking as if he wanted to die. He banged his head three times, raised his head and said, "When I say this, the student's heart aches."

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "You asked for it, no one else is to blame."

Cui Dongshan said aggrievedly: "Why is it that the old guy enjoys the blessing and continues to be the majestic Dali Imperial Master, but the student doesn't even have the nickname Xiuhu. Every time he runs out, he has to sleep in the open and hide his head. Zangao?"

Chen Ping'an gloated: "Just be content. In addition to the many magic weapons in the near object, there is also this immortal relic that is better than Du Maoyang's divine body."

Cui Dongshan lamented, holding his chin with one hand and looking up at the sky, "That's true. Fortunately, I'm not very interested in fighting and killing. As a young man, it's easy to get bored. It's okay to be out of Sui Academy." , spending time with my husband day and night, and enjoying it. On that Dongshan, Xiaobaoping didn't bother to talk to me, and Yu Lu thanked me. I looked annoyed, and Li Huai and Lin Shouyi had nothing to talk to. It was such a miserable and deserted place. ah."

Chen Pingan was too lazy to comfort him, not to mention that this big Li Xiuhu needed someone to ease his mood? Big joke.

Cui Dongshan straightened up and said with a smile: "Sir, the four people in the picture of Lotus Root and Blessed Land have almost come to an end for the time being. The student will give you a little review of the game. Before leaving, let's teach him one last game of chess. "

Chen Ping'an subconsciously sat upright, and every time he learned chess with Cui Dongshan, he was so serious, "Please tell me."

Cui Dongshan felt a little funny and a little sad, but these emotions were well restrained and did not show any trace.

First use the flying sword to draw the thunder pool.

"On the right side of Sui is a silly girl. The dragon kiln porcelain vase is so beautiful that it will break when hit. But silly is silly. She is indeed an innate sword embryo. As long as Jade Guizong is willing to cultivate it, Yuanying sword cultivator is not a problem. As for whether she can become a female sword immortal in the upper five realms, it is not up to her alone. She has to ask Fang Tiandi whether he agrees or not. In any case, the one on the right side of the Sui Dynasty is considered to be the luckiest of the four in the scroll. One, sir, he took good care of her all the way. After dying three times, Sui Youyou's mood was not broken, but became brighter."

Chen Pingan's eyes were strange.

Cui Dongshan stretched out his fingers and said categorically: "I swear to God, there is absolutely no pun or any hidden meaning in what the student said!"

Chen Pingan handed Pei Qian a fragrant pear as white as snow. Pei Qian covered the fragrant pear with both hands, twisted it a few times, wiped it clean, and then nibbled it gently.

Cui Dongshan continued: "As for the hot potato that is Wei Xian... I have already settled it for you sir. He is just a stupid guy anyway, so there is no need to mention it further."

Cui Dongshan originally wanted to elaborate on the exquisite game here, but he noticed that Chen Ping'an winked at him. Cui Dongshan was so shrewd, so he immediately understood, changed his tone, and ignored it.

Cui Dongshan glanced sideways at Pei Qian, who was shaking his head and eating fruit, "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, you don't have any eyesight..."

As a result, Cui Dongshan was kicked by Chen Pingan under the table.

Cui Dongshan said angrily, "Lu Baixiang is extremely talented and is expected to become a generalist. It is extremely difficult to reach the top of martial arts. The ninth level is not difficult, and the tenth level is not difficult, unless there is a big talent from heaven." Okay. Of course, even in the future Great Li Dynasty, the Nine Realm Warriors will still be transcendent beings with certain martial fortunes. At that time, with Lu Baixiang’s mind, I will teach him some heretical ways, and he will still be considered to have quite good combat capabilities. He is a good lackey...no, he is a good thug and a good follower."

Pei Qian glared and said, "Speak properly in front of my master and your husband. Don't talk nonsense and abuse Lao Wei and Xiao Bai like this."

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "Shall I tell you the charming story related to this fragrant pear?"

Pei Qian immediately smiled and said: "It's a great thing to improve after you know your mistakes. It's a great thing. Master has a student like you, so he won't lose his status."

Cui Dongshan imitated Pei Qian's tone, stretched out a palm and shook it gently, tut-tutting: "It's a great thing for my husband to have a good apprentice like you."

Pei Qian pretended to be stupid and crazy, with a smile on his face.

Cui Dongshan's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Only this Zhu Lian seems to be the one who is the most unconventional. He is easy-going and can live happily wherever he goes. But this means that he is the one with the most ups and downs in people's hearts. Guy. Born in the Zhongming Dingshi family in Lotus Flower Blessed Land, he was once an unparalleled handsome noble son, but he went to practice martial arts, and he became the best in the world. He is good at cooking, loves food, and has a good mouth. It says that he wishes to win the heart of a beautiful woman. He is also able to bend and stretch, so among the four people in the scroll, Zhu Lian has the best vision and the highest spirit."

Pei Qian nodded vigorously.

Among the four, she was most afraid of the rickety old man.

Cui Dongshan suddenly laughed, "This kind of guy actually has nothing to do. If you don't teach him well, sir, Zhu Lian might sell him at some point. But if you teach him well... something unexpected will happen." Fortunately, among the four of them, Zhu Lian is the only one who is willing to die for his husband! And he will die without hesitation, even if he only has the last life left. The other three, I can take charge of it, but Zhu Lian is the only one who can’t be taught by me, so I have to take action from my husband.”

Seeing that Chen Pingan seemed puzzled, Cui Dongshan patiently explained: "Sui is not good at the right side. She is seeking swordsmanship. This is what she wants most. Lu Baixiang and Mr. Lu seem to have the most compatible temperaments, but in fact they are not. How can this person be? Almost heartless.”

Then Cui Dongshan stopped dictating, but secretly told Chen Pingan from his heart, "Wei Xian felt that he could not die. He had not yet achieved what he wanted. He was born as an emperor. Except for the only obsession in his heart, no one in the world could do it. Kill, everything in the world can be bought and sold. Regarding this obsession, sir, please don’t blame me for being meddlesome. Students also need to dig deeper through the Tongyezhou relationship and the imperial family affairs of Wei Xian in the early days of the Nanyuan Kingdom."

Chen Pingan reminded: "When it comes to the old Taoist Taoist priest, please be patient."

Cui Dongshan smiled and said, "I will definitely be extremely careful about that stinky old Taoist priest. To be honest, even when I was at the peak of the Twelve Immortals, I didn't dare to provoke him. The old scholar is a little different from him. friendship."

Cui Dongshan was silent for a moment, then stood up, paced back and forth, stroking the palms of his hands, as if he was teaching Chen Ping'an to "play chess", and as if he was reviewing his own cultural background, and said softly: "Sir, please remember, whether you are a disciple or not, Regardless of whether you are a disciple or a disciple, there is a lot of diversity on the top of a mountain. You cannot have just one kind of person, especially not all of them can be like Mr.”

"Everyone can't be kind to others and abide by the principles of a gentleman like Mr. We can't just do moral articles and learn a lot. We can't just use our brains and shout to fight and kill."

"There must be someone like me who does things against his will, who can exploit loopholes in the rules, who can clearly see the general trend, and knows how to follow the trend. He can be a good kind of annoying villain. If he can bring out the good things of his husband, he can let him The image of the mountain is always high and the water is long, and the scenery is as bright as the moon."

"There must be someone who is willing to identify only Mr. Xi. His life and death is her life and death. Even the former has more weight."

"Those who inherit Mr.'s intellectual legacy are true fellow-minded people on the path of cultural fortune. There are good prospects who can support the scene like this."

"There must also be lunatics, such as Zhu Lian, who can frighten evil heretics, scofflaws, and especially hypocrites."

"You have to have some family background, like the one in Luoluosangzhulou...well, sir, you should already know, he is my grandfather."

"There are live treasures that make people laugh and show off their childlike charm. Don't make a mountain too lifeless, such as the two water snakes and fire pythons that I helped my husband conquer in Huang Tingguo."

"In short, when you are trying to reason with someone, someone can stand up and help you convince them with reason."

"When you are discussing the high and low of the road with others, someone can step forward and help you to convince others with your virtue."

"If there is someone who we like to use our fists to fight for cultivation when we are trying to reason, but we are forced to take action, and pretend to be pitiful when our fists are bigger, then someone has to help the teacher to beat them to convince them first. In the end, the teacher will scold them a few times, and at most they will have a bruise on their nose and face. If your opponent compensates you a little and gives you a jujube, others will not be able to fault our family tradition, style of work, and style of writing."

Cui Dongshan stood still and said with a smile: "Just saying, if the teacher is willing to choose one or two, the student will be satisfied."

Chen Ping'an sat upright and said, "I have learned a lesson."

Cui Dongshan looked at Chen Ping'an's bright eyes, bowed and saluted, and said with a smile: "It's like discussing with each other, like polishing."

Pei Qian's head hurt when he heard it.

Cui Dongshan's words suddenly went a thousand miles away, and he said with a smile: "There are two things in the capital of Qingluan Kingdom. If you have a chance, sir, you must try them. The same is the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, and the same is the old shops in the deep alleys on the street. The stewed dishes, one expensive and the other cheap, are all human delicacies."

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Okay."

Cui Dongshan said cautiously: "Sir, I would like to whisper something about our friendship with Pei Qian, is that okay? Maybe after the chat, Wei Xian will be taken away. Sir, there is no need to see him off. After that, only Shi Rou and Zhu Lian will be there." Become a retinue."

Chen Pingan nodded and turned to look at Pei Qian. She stood up suddenly and said, "Who is afraid of whom?"

Cui Dongshan walked out of the house with a smile, followed closely by Pei Qian. When he crossed the threshold, he turned to Chen Ping'an and smiled, raising his fist to encourage himself.

As soon as he walked in the corridor and couldn't see Chen Ping'an anymore, Pei Qian immediately took out the pagoda demon-suppressing talisman and put it on his forehead, and then followed the guy.

When he arrived at Cui Dongshan's house, he immediately closed the door for Cui Dongshan in an awkward manner. He sat at the table with a flattering smile on his face and reached out to grab a pear. "You are my senior brother. I will wipe it for you to quench your thirst." of."

Cui Dongshan rolled his eyes and said: "You can pull me down and give it back to senior brother. Can I call you senior sister?"

Pei Qian waved his hand quickly, "No, no, no, teachers come from the same school, we still have to talk about first come, first served."

Cui Dongshan sneered: "Look at your potential."

Pei Qian nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I am too young now and my future is not great."

Cui Dongshan stood up, took out the picture of Time and Water, but did not spread it out immediately, and asked: "What do you think your master was like when he was a child?"

Pei Qian was stunned, "I heard Master tell me, and I also heard him chatting with others. It seems that he was quite poor when he was a child, and he grew up in the Mubo Alley of Lizhu Cave."

Cui Dongshan slowly opened the scroll and beckoned: "Then come and take a look."

In this painting, first there is the river outside the town and the covered bridge that was finally demolished.

Cui Dongshan said slowly: "People who practice in the world despise mountains but not water. Because the sages of various schools of thought actually like water far more than mountains. The best is like water. Wise people are happy with water. Buddhist view Bo Shui. As for the distant truth here, you will know it later."

After that came Chen Pingan's childhood years.

There were paper kites placed in the immortal tomb, and there was a dark-skinned child squatting alone in the distance, admiring those running peers and those paper kites flying high in the sky.

Go to Yang's pharmacy to buy medicine, go back to cook medicine, and cook on the small bench. He secretly ran to the Immortal Tomb to pray to the dilapidated statue.

Later, under the bright sun, I went up the mountain to collect herbs with a basket that was almost as big as him. As a result, my shoulders were burning. I picked up the basket and started crying while walking at the foot of the mountain.

I was so hungry that I walked up and down Mud Bottle Alley again and again, and finally a woman opened the door.

Time flows gurglingly, and the pictures slowly change.

From child to teenager.

The final scene was fixed at the east gate of the town that day, with Chen Pingan standing inside the gate, waiting to earn copper coins by running errands and delivering letters.

Pei Qian stared at it for more than half an hour, his expression changing.

During this period, I watched with rapt attention, and sometimes said to myself, "This Song Jixin and Zhigui deserve to die. I happen to have a sword, and then I will chop off my head with one sword and pierce my heart with one sword!"

"No wonder Master can weave straw sandals to make book boxes, he can do anything."

"Haha, Master is also greedy for candied haws. Huh? Why did Master run away? Didn't the man selling candied haws give Master a bunch? I don't understand."

"This sissy man from Long Yao is a bit like that old man named Shi Rou."

"The tree at the tomb is the regular tree that Master mentioned when chatting with Xiaobai, right?"

"Why does this old man Yao always like to scold Master? He is blind."

"Could this sister outside the door be the girl that Master likes? She's not much prettier than the one on Sui's right. She seems not as good as Huang Tingli, the female crown who taught me swordsmanship."

Snap.

Cui Dongshan put away the scroll and collected the things close at hand.

Pei Qian sat silently on the stool.

Cui Dongshan sat aside with an indifferent expression, "Your master didn't drink much when I was reviewing our trip to Lotus Root Blessed Land, but later when he mentioned you Pei Qian, he drank a lot and said that he originally thought that the world All parents would like to leave all the good things to their children. Later, I realized that this is not the case. How could a mother secretly hide steamed buns and choose to eat them alone in the middle of the night, even if her daughter is about to starve to death? I don’t want to take it out.”

Pei Qian drooped his head.

Cui Dongshan said calmly: "I have to thank you, Pei Qian, for letting my husband know more about how many stupid and bad people there are in the world from beginning to end."

Cui Dongshan asked: "Do you know which were the three most difficult times your master had to go through when he was in the small town?"

Pei Qian lay on the table and murmured: "One is if the woman didn't open the door, so the master was very kind to that little slug. The other is that it was the first time he went to the mountain to collect medicine, so the master was very grateful to that old man Yang. .The last one, I can’t think of.”

Cui Dongshan was quite satisfied and said with a smile: "Of course you, Pei Qian, can't even think of it. It's the bunch of candied haws."

Pei Qian turned his head and put his cheek against the table, looking doubtfully at the guy with the mole between his eyebrows.

Cui Dongshan said softly: "If you were here at that time, you could eat the bunch of candied haws on a stick, so feel free to eat it, kneel on the ground and beg people to give it to you, steal and grab it, or eat a bunch of candied haws. But Chen Ping'an couldn't eat it. He couldn't eat even one. Things in the world, people in the world, and people's hearts, seem complicated, but in fact, as long as you can see the extremely subtle details, there are threads to follow..."

Pei Qian suddenly said angrily: "Call me sir! How dare you call me sir by his first name? You are so brave! Be careful, I will file a complaint with the master!"

Cui Dongshan rolled his eyes and made a gesture of snapping his fingers.

Pei Qian quickly sat up and covered his forehead and precious talisman with both hands.

Cui Dongshan put his hands in his sleeves, leaned on the table, looked out the window, and said softly: "We, don't always let your husband down."

These words made Pei Qian a little confused, always?

But he soon stopped being confused. Pei Qian counted on his fingers and found that he had indeed made Chen Pingan less angry.

Cui Dongshan twisted his neck and looked at Pei Qian with a smile, "The sky has the sun and the moon to shine on all directions, and people have eyes to see everything clearly. Pei Qian, you are very lucky, and even more lucky that you can meet Chen Ping'an. This is like ...Chen Pingan met Qi Jingchun."

Cui Dongshan's eyes were in a trance, but there was a smile on his face, and he murmured in a low voice: "I remember that when an old scholar was at his lowest, he was with me, another guy who was not very bright, and the Qi who Chen Ping'an thought about. Sir, I told our only three disciples at that time, if this person lives peacefully, it doesn’t matter whether he has money or not. Drinking water will taste sweet, chewing white steamed buns will taste like roasted chicken legs. . At that time, the man surnamed Zuo said stupidly that it would be good to drink water, eat steamed buns and never starve to death anyway. The old scholar was so angry that he banged the table and stared at him, saying that it was good to be a little promising. When you have no money, you don't use these principles to argue. Hungry, how can we live our lives? There are no fools in the world who don’t want to live a better life. When everyone thinks about it and can take a good and upright path, the world will move forward...and then that Qi Jingchun So I asked, Sir, when can we eat food with oil and water? Sir, I was stunned and couldn't speak for a long time. In the end, I had to point at me, the bully, the bullshit senior brother of those two guys, and said this with a smile. It all depends on when your senior brother’s family will send money... It’s just these common sayings that no one will know in future generations. They were all left in the elementary school in the back alley. Later, the old scholar attended the Three Educational Schools twice Debate, there are so many named and anonymous disciples under the sect, attracting world attention, but the three of us actually don't want to think about it often. It seems that after that, the old scholar was busy every day, running here and there, for the so-called common people in the world. We are so busy that we have to travel from one academy to another, and we have to teach and educate more idiots. As time goes by, our first three proud disciples have their own paths."

Pei Qian didn't hear it clearly because Cui Dongshan's voice was too small.

Cui Dongshan took a deep breath, rolled up his sleeves like snowflakes, turned to look at Pei Qian, and said with a smile: "The heart is separated from its shape, like a bird out of its cage. It is bright and pure, like glass. The bright moon hangs inside, and the body and mind feel happy." Since you are not suitable for the master's boxing skills and have started to practice swordsmanship, you must practice the Kuai Zai Sword. The sword is the fastest, so fast that it can fly like lightning, and one sword can break through all kinds of swords.

To practice the refreshing sword, pick up the sword and sheath it, and the enemy's head will roll off! "

Pei Qian wrinkled his dark face and said, "You are not my master."

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "But you are my senior sister. Now I will protect you, and you will protect me in the future. This is the touching friendship between teachers and sects."

Pei Qian blinked and said, "Don't lie to me, otherwise I won't be the senior sister."

Cui Dongshan remembered something and took out a small thing folded into a paper crane and said, "Put it away carefully. You will follow my husband on this trip, and you can only show it to him when he is the most angry. But I hope Until I met my husband again, you didn't take it out. Put it away and put it in your sachet. Remember not to open it without authorization, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences."

Pei Qian groaned and carefully put it into the sachet and money bag.

Cui Dongshan pointed to the thunder pool where the golden light was flowing, "Don't you have a hiking pole? Do you want to learn my magical power?"

Pei Qian said: "I don't have much money anymore, so I have to pay for it all for Xiaobai."

Speaking of which, it was another sad thing. Playing backgammon for the guy in front of me, I defrauded a total of seven copper coins.

Cui Dongshan waved his sleeves and said with a smile: "Talking about money hurts feelings. You don't need to spend any money, just treat it as a reward for doing that small favor for me."

————

Chen Pingan finally sent Cui Dongshan to the gate of the inn.

Wei Xian and Pei Qian were chatting.

Zhu Lian and Shi Rou stood behind Chen Pingan.

Cui Dongshan smiled at the two of them and said, "You two, you must take good care of my husband."

Zhu Lian nodded and smiled, "Your husband is my master, of course there is no need to say anything more."

Shi Rou was in a complicated mood. When Cui Dongshan was there, he was as fearful as a tiger. When Cui Dongshan left, he was worried that the future would be bleak.

Cui Dongshan bowed and said goodbye, "The mountains and rivers are so far away, sir, I cherish you."

After Cui Dongshan stood up, Chen Pingan suddenly raised his arm, put his fist in front of him, turned his back to "Du Mao", gave a thumbs up, and whispered: "Great job! Zheng Dafeng and I want to thank you. "

Cui Dongshan held it in for a long time. The flattery was not smooth for the first time, so he had to say awkwardly: "Sir, you are really... a kind person."
