Sword of Coming

The round-faced little girl nicknamed Jiu'er, her blood can be used as an extremely rare "talisman spring" in the Fulu Sect, so her face is always pale.

It's just that now the "little cripple" is no different in size from a strong young man. The little girl Jiu'er is also much taller, her round face is thinner, her face is rosy, and she is now a slender girl.

The last time Li Baoping was at Cliff Academy, he chatted about Jiu'er with Chen Ping'an and said he missed her very much. Back then, the little girl in the red cotton-padded jacket and the little girl in the wine were very close to each other.

Neither the little cripple nor Jiu'er dared to recognize Chen Ping'an.

On the one hand, they haven’t seen each other for about seven years. Chen Pingan has gone from a straw-shoe boy holding a hatchet to clear the way to a young man in a blue shirt with a sword on his back. And even though he has been well-trained in Luolu Mountain, he is still a little thin, but his cheeks are not sunken. It was as scary as Shujian Lake, otherwise the two disciples of the old Taoist would not dare to recognize it.

Chen Ping'an's identity was finally determined.

The blind Taoist was very happy. Chen Pingan smiled and asked them if they wanted to eat. When they heard no, he took them to a restaurant with the best business in the town.

At the wine table, the old Taoist took a sip of wine, stroked his beard and smiled: "Mr. Chen, why is Miss Ruan not in the shop now?"

When they parted ways, Chen Pingan asked them to find Qilongxiang and Ruan Xiu when they came to the small town. However, the old Taoist did not want to settle in the small town at that time, so he said goodbye and left, hoping to make a big difference in Dali Capital. , try to get rich and powerful, but in the capital city of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the three masters and disciples have little Taoism, and the old Taoist is unwilling to reveal his disciple Jiuer's background, so he can't get famous at all, after all this time. Years ago, I just earned some real gold and silver, a few thousand taels, which is still considered a lot of money for ordinary people to put in the market, but for a Taoist, what are a few snow coins? It's really disheartening. During this period, the old Taoist heard about things in Longquan County intermittently. Of course, it was not through the Shenxian Mansion report in the Xianjia Inn. He couldn't afford to live in it or buy it. They were all fragmentary rumors, and they didn't cost money. of gossip.

As a result, the old Taoist pieced together a truth that made the three masters and disciples look at each other. The Ruan Xiu who was entertaining guests in the shop was most likely the only daughter of the saint Ruan Qiong! At first, the old Taoist had neither the shame nor the courage to return to the small town. After all, the little cripple had come from a wrong place, so he spent a few more years in the capital. Now he really couldn't stay any longer, so he wanted to go back to Longquan County. Luck, I never thought that I would be lucky enough to meet the real owner Chen Ping'an.

It's just that people's hearts are like water, and the two sides are just a chance encounter. The blind Taoist is not sure whether he can stay in the town that is now different from what it used to be. Even if he stays, will he really have a bright future? After all, after so many years, God knows what kind of character Chen Pingan has become, so the blind Taoist seems to be drinking and enjoying himself, talking about the tragic incident that year as a funny story, but in fact, he is beating a drum in his heart and keeps silently saying: Chen Pingan, please take the initiative to save him, even if A polite word would suffice, and Pindao would just climb up the pole. I don’t believe that you, a young man who can have a relationship with the only daughter of a saint, would be stingy with a few fairy coins. Are you really willing to look down on Miss Ruan, who is out of reach for you and me?

It's a pity that from beginning to end, Chen Ping'an didn't ask the old Taoist master and apprentice whether they wanted to stay in Longquan County.

Pei Qian and Chen Ping'an sat on a long bench and hardly spoke.

When Chen Pingan introduced her identity at that time, he was talking about his disciple Pei Qian. Pei Qian almost couldn't help but say that Master, you are missing the word "Kai Shan Da".

Shi Rou did not come to the restaurant with them.

Because Chen Pingan was not familiar with the world, and the blind old Taoist really wanted to save some face for himself, he was so full that he had to say goodbye.

The two sides stood on the street outside the restaurant, and Chen Pingan said: "I now live in Luolu Mountain, which is considered a mountaintop of my own. Next time the old Taoist passes by Longquan County, he can go and sit on the mountain. I may not be there, but as long as he reports If you go up to the Dao No., there will definitely be someone to receive you. By the way, Miss Ruan is now based in Shenxiu Mountain, because the ancestral hall and main mountain of her Longquan Sword Sect are over there. I also returned home from a long trip this time, but with Miss Ruan was chatting, and she also mentioned the old Taoist Priest, and has not forgotten it, so the old Taoist Priest can go over there and have a look and chat."

The blind Taoist smiled broadly and said that he would definitely do it.

Chen Ping'an smiled at the little lame man and the drinking girl whom he had a very good impression of back then: "Take care along the way. I hope it won't take so long for us to meet again next time."

The little lame man carrying the big banner nodded.

Jiu'er smiled and nodded.

Pei Qian clasped his fists and said in an old-fashioned way: "The green mountains will not change and the green water will flow forever. See you in the future!"

The two sides said goodbye, and the old Taoist left the town with his two disciples and slowly headed towards Red Candle Town.

Chen Pingan stood where he was.

Pei Qian asked softly: "Master?"

Chen Pingan rubbed her head and said: "Master is of course willing to keep the three of them in his heart, but life is not easy, and things that fall from the sky are often not cherished too much. If you can't save even this little face, it means that It is not really necessary to stay in Longquan County to make a living. And once you stay, it means that it will be a long-term thing. You will get along day and night. The more you start, the harder it is to make things difficult. It is better for both parties to know what they know from the beginning, otherwise In the end, I think it was a good intention, but the other party thought it was not a good thing. Both sides have their own reasons, so how can gentlemen break off the relationship without making bad noises?"

Chen Pingan sighed, "Of course, it's possible that Master is wrong, so Master will ask Wei Bo to keep an eye on him. If the other party really has something to hide and is unable to speak, or if he really encounters a hurdle that he can't overcome and is desperate, he doesn't want to If you implicate me, when that time comes, Master will send you out to bring them back."

Pei Qian nodded. It didn't matter whether he understood or not. Master was right anyway, but she had doubts again and asked, "Master deliberately talked to them about Sister Xiuxiu. Why?"

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Master still hopes they can stay."

Pei Qian was confused. He thought hard about this troublesome thing, but still couldn't figure out the twists and turns. Finally, he sighed and said, "I don't want to think about it anymore. I turned over the almanac today and it's not appropriate to use my brain."

Pei Qian suddenly lowered his voice and said, "That old Taoist priest's eyes seemed to have been blinded by the lightning bolts running around in his stomach."

Chen Pingan nodded, "The thunder method is known as the first of all methods. However, except for the Shen Gao Sect and a few great immortal families in Aquarius Continent, the so-called Five Thunder Methods are all fragmented inheritances from hereditary sects. Therefore, If you practice this method, there will be backlash. After a long time, your vitality may fail, your path will collapse, or you may go astray and use a certain acupoint as a place to eliminate disasters, such as blindness or rotten stomach. Or corrode a certain natal object, there are many kinds of things, and most people who practice side-door thunder methods will end badly."

Pei Qian was speechless.

Chen Ping'an said: "Practice is not all about enjoying happiness."

Pei Qian nodded vigorously, "That's why I don't practice martial arts, I only practice martial arts!"

Chen Pingan tugged her ear.

Pei Qian wailed: "Master, I will work harder! Bear more hardship!"

Chen Pingan then took Pei Qian to the old school.

Chen Ping'an stood outside the window, and Pei Qian stood on tiptoes, "rested" his head on the window sill, and looked inside.

Chen Ping'an asked: "How are you thinking? Do you want to go to the school run by the Chen family in Longweixi?"

Pei Qian remained motionless and said dullly: "If Master wants me to go, I will go. Anyway, I will not be bullied by others. No one will call me a black charcoal or dislike me for being short..."

Chen Ping'an couldn't laugh or cry, and said in a gentle tone: "If you really don't want to go, you can study in the mountains with Zhu Lian or Zheng Dafeng. In fact, Zheng Dafeng is very knowledgeable. But I suggest you study now, whether you like it or not. If you stay at the school for a while, I might even drag you away, but if you still feel uncomfortable by then, just go back to Luolu Mountain."

Pei Qian asked: "Is it wrong for me to go to school and learn how to use a sword?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "No, you have to look like you are studying when you study."

This matter is not negotiable.

As a master, if he pampers Pei Qian, he must follow the rules.

A child is innocent and childlike. No matter how much you like it as an elder, you can't really let the child be free and unrestrained in the years when rules are most needed.

Pei Qian said nothing.

Chen Pingan said: "This matter is not urgent. Just think about it before Master comes down the mountain."

Pei Qian remained motionless, "If I go to school, can master not leave?"

Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand to hold Pei Qian's head and looked inside the old school in silence.

Children's little sadness is often like wind and fog.

By the time Chen Ping'an bought Pei Qian a bunch of candied haws, the two of them walked back to Luo Po Mountain. Pei Qian was already laughing and asking questions along the way.

The blind Taoist was in a good mood, and privately told the little cripple and Jiu'er that we only need to wander around for another year and a half before we can return to Longquan County and make a difference.

Not long after the three masters and apprentices left Longquan County, a man and woman who had traveled a lot came to Luolu Mountain.

Either walking around the famous mountains and rivers, or taking the Xianjia ferry. After five or six years of walking, they finally arrived from the Qingluan Kingdom in the southeastern part of the Aquarius Continent to the northernmost Great Li Dynasty in the continent.

Qingluan Kingdom Lion Garden, scholar Liu Qingshan.

Hanging upside down is the female crown of Shanshi Daofang, Liu Boqi.

A magic sword that he wears with him is called the God of Deer. Ranked seventeenth in the Xuanshan Master Sword Room. The object of destiny is still the sword, named Jiazuo.

Chen Ping'an and Liu Boqi were not acquaintances without fighting. Of course, their relationship was not much better and they were not considered friends.

When I met Liu Qingshan, we naturally had a great conversation.

Compared with Liu Boqi's domineering behavior in the Lion Park, Liu Boqi was much more restrained in Luo Luo Mountain.

First, Chen Pingan looks more and more weird now, and second, the rickety old servant named Zhu Lian is even more difficult to deal with. The third and most important point is that the bamboo building is not only filled with fairy spirit and extremely brilliant, but there is also an amazing atmosphere on the second floor.

This is good for Liu Boqi. Don't be coy. I'm in a better position than you, so I won't be polite to you. If things turn around, she won't feel unhappy at all. She admits it.

Chen Pingan led the two of them to visit Luolu Mountain and to the temple on the top of the mountain.

Liu Qingfeng said that they came this time not only to see Chen Ping'an, but also because they wanted to be close to the water tower and have a good look at the powerful night banquet of the gods. Of course, Linlu Academy must go.

Of course Chen Pingan agreed and said that he could arrange a suitable viewing location for the two of them at Linlu Academy in Piyun Mountain.

Compared to when he was in the Lion Garden Study Room, Liu Qingfeng was not only a celebrity but also a bit more heroic, which was a good thing.

A hero may not be a sage, but which sage is not a true hero?

One day later, Chen Ping'an discovered that something was wrong. When Liu Boqi saw Zhu Lian, he mouthed Mr. Zhu's mouth, and he was extremely sincere.

After asking Huang Tingguo Laojiao to place Liu Qingfeng in Linlu Academy not through Wei Bo, Chen Ping'an and Zhu Lian returned to Luolu Mountain first and asked about the matter on the way.

Zhu Lian chuckled, "The old slave just said it casually and mentioned something from the book, and Liu Boqi appreciated it."

Chen Ping'an became more and more curious, "How to say?"

Zhu Lian casually pointed to a green mountaintop and said, "I see how charming the green mountains are, and I thought that the green mountains should look the same to me."

After being stunned for a moment, Chen Pingan was greatly impressed.

Isn’t this the only thing Liu Boqi, a woman, does?

Chen Pingan slapped Zhu Lian on the shoulder, "Old Jianghu!"

Zhu Lian said seriously: "Where is it? The young phoenix is ​​clearer than the old phoenix."

Chen Ping'an suddenly felt a little emotional. After going down the mountain, especially when he went to Beiju Luzhou, it would probably be several more years before he could hear the flattery from Luolu Mountain.

Chen Pingan quietly went to the Xianjia Ferry in Niujiao Mountain one night.

Pei Qian actually knew, but just pretended not to know, and compared with the feeling of being separated for a long time for the first time, now Pei Qian feels that it is actually better, but now that the master is gone, she feels empty in her heart.

For the first time, she actually looked through the almanac and found that the date when the master left Luo Luo Mountain was a good time to travel far away.

Liu Qingfeng and Liu Boqi temporarily live in Linlu Academy.

The night party will be held soon.

And over there in Red Candle Town, there was another reunion.

The little girl in the red cotton jacket and the little girl in the wine meet again.

It turns out that the Cliff Academy of the Sui Dynasty arranged a study tour, and they also came to observe the night tour banquet of the Great Li Beiyue. It was Mao Xiaodong who took the lead. Li Baoping, Li Huai, Lin Shouyi, Yu Lu, thank you, are all here in.

The blind Taoist still did not dare to follow the current, and following the disciple's wine, he returned to Longquan County with everyone in the academy.

After all, the identity of Saint Mao from Cliff Academy is too scary.

On the top of Qidun Mountain.

A slender girl in red was in a daze.

She is no longer a little girl.

Over the years, her temperament has completely changed. The red-clothed little treasure bottle that was so popular in the academy suddenly became quieter. She became more knowledgeable and spoke less and less. Of course, her appearance became more and more beautiful.

There was the sound of birds flying overhead, and she looked up.

What does the book say?

The sound of a passing bird is like an invitation to a visitor, and the immortal calls me to swim in the clouds.

Slanting wind and drizzle.

In the Caiyi Kingdom in the middle of Aquarius Continent, in a mountain col near Rouge County, there was a young man in green shirt wearing a bamboo hat and heading south with a sword on his back.
