Sword of Coming

On the ancient tea-horse road, a rider turned his horse's head and slowly headed towards the woman with a power fence and the scholar with a bamboo box.

Cao Fu looked stunned and said, "Uncle Sui, what is Jing Cheng doing?"

The old servant Sui Xinyu couldn't hold back his old face. He was extremely annoyed in his heart. He still tried his best to calm his tone and said with a smile: "Jing Cheng has not liked to go out since he was a child. Maybe he has seen too many shocking scenes today and is a little confused. Cao Fu Please comfort her later."

Cao Fu nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle Fu, don't worry, Jing Cheng was frightened. This is normal."

Sui Wenfa was the most surprised and murmured: "Although my aunt doesn't go out much, she doesn't usually do this. Many changes in the family make my parents panic, but my aunt is the most calm. I heard my father talk about many officialdom problems. It was my aunt who helped me make plans and was very methodical and organized."

Cao Fu continued to speak to the protector with ripples in his heart, "Can you see the depth?"

The swordsman Xiao Shuye hesitated for a moment and replied from the bottom of his heart: "It shouldn't be underestimated. It's best not to make mortal enemies. Nowadays, there are undercurrents everywhere in the Great Seal Dynasty. Why don't we just leave the jurisdiction of Shanmen? God knows what kind of bastards there are. Climbing out of the deep pool, for example, if the other party is a Genealogy Immortal Master from the Golden Scale Palace, your master will be entangled with the Golden Scale Palace."

Cao Fu said: "Unless he wants to rob Sui Jingcheng head-on, it's easy to talk about it."

Xiao Shuye nodded and said: "This is the best. From the look of that man, he doesn't look like someone who likes to get involved in things at the foot of the mountain, otherwise he wouldn't have left the pavilion by himself before."

Cao Fu smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid that we are like the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind us, and this guy is chasing after us with a slingshot. In fact, he came after you and me from the beginning."

Xiao Shuye smiled and said: "That's really the case, what else can we do, just after a fight. Sui Jingcheng is the person your master is bound to win. He has a great opportunity. Since he discovered the clues before us, don't hesitate. Dao Dao Above all, if you miss an opportunity once, you will never seize it again in this life. In the final analysis, the master is still good for you, and you and Sui Jingcheng are already inseparable, and you were the first to discover the preciousness of the robe on her body. So you should get half of this great blessing."

Xiao Shuye glanced at the scholar in the green shirt who was hiding his secrets, "If he is a pure martial artist, as long as he is not the direct disciple of the eight people before King Wuling and me, Xiao Shuye, it will be easy to say. If he is a cultivator, it would be fine if he is not said by his master to be a cultivator from the Golden Scale Palace who has great plans. Just now I reminded you to be careful. In fact, it is to prevent accidents. In fact, there is no need to be too afraid. Today's masters, most of them Most of them ran away to Dazhuan Capital City."

Cao Fu nodded and said: "Let's take a step at a time to confirm our identity. Don't rush to kill us. Sui Jingcheng seems to be suspicious of us. It's strange. How did this bitch figure it out?"

Xiao Shuye smiled and said: "Your unmarried daughter-in-law is already half a cultivator. Her temperament and intuition are definitely incomparable to ordinary people. Our plan this time is still a bit superficial. If it is too coincidental, it will inevitably make her suspicious. Of course, it may be that she is deliberately deceiving you, so you should be more forbearing, keep silent and scheming. This kind of woman who is both thoughtful and shameless enough to dare to gamble is indeed a born monastic child, and she is indeed the same as you. A good match, she will become a couple of gods and gods in the future, and she will definitely be of great help to you and Shanmen. Let me say a few words, the master only wants her robe and golden hairpin, but she still belongs to you."

Cao Fu said helplessly: "Master treats me better than he treats his biological son. I know that."

Xiao Shuye smiled and stopped saying some words. It hurts my feelings. Why is the master so kind to you? You, Cao Fu, couldn't have taken advantage of you and acted like a good boy. The master is a golden elixir female cultivator after all. If you, Cao Fu, hadn't cultivated it now You are still low, you have not reached the sea-viewing realm, and you are far away from the Longmen realm. Otherwise, you two, master and disciple, would have been Taoist monks on the mountain. So if Sui Jingcheng really wants to be your woman, she will feel offended when she reaches the mountain. Maybe after you get the bamboo robe and plain gauze robe and the three golden hairpins, you will have to polish a red and pink skull with your own hands.

Xiao Shuye believes that when that day comes, Cao Fu will make the right choice without hesitation.

The road is ruthless, and on the road to eternal life, apart from the immortal Taoist couple where the contract is located, women are like shoes, which can be exchanged or thrown away anytime and anywhere to make you look stunning.

Yiqiqi moved forward slowly, as if he was afraid of frightening the woman who had put on the power fence again.

She stood up, stood behind the young guest in green clothes again, and said softly: "Mr. Chen, I know that you are a real god on the mountain, and you clearly have no ill intentions towards me or the Sui family. It's just that you were disappointed and too lazy to care about it. But Cao Fu has ulterior motives, so he deliberately set a trap for me. As long as you save me today, I will definitely work as an ox or a horse for you! I, Sui Jingcheng, am willing to serve as a maid in bringing tea and water, and carrying suitcases and burdens. Ruyi!”

The young man who had turned around to face the knights turned his head and shook his folding fan lightly, "Stop talking nonsense. I am a hero of all walks of life. I do chivalry and do justice without asking for anything in return. Stop talking about such polite words as promising yourself to be a cow or a horse." Be careful of self-defeating. By the way, do you think that Hu Xinfeng and Hero Hu should die?"

The Mi Li woman thought for a while and carefully selected her words. Perhaps she thought that the young immortal master was testing her mind. She carefully answered: "I am just timid and lack courage. I have never killed anyone. The crime will not lead to death."

The man smiled and nodded, "This is what you said, don't you regret it?"

She nodded heavily.

The man closed the folding fan, tapped his shoulder lightly, leaned back slightly, turned his head and said with a smile: "Master Hu, you can disappear."

Hu Xinfeng panicked and didn't choose the right path. He jumped straight away from the Ancient Tea Horse Road and ran all the way down the mountain. He had the spirit of overcoming thorns and obstacles. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.

The two sides were no more than ten steps apart, and Sui Xinyu sighed, "Silly girl, stop messing around and come back quickly. Isn't Cao Fu infatuated with you enough? Do you know that doing this is a stupid thing to repay kindness with hatred?!"

Speaking later, the old minister, who was the most powerful chess player in the country, had an angry look on his face and said sternly: "The Sui family has had a good family tradition for generations, how could you do something like this! Even if you don't want to marry Cao Fu carelessly, it's hard to accept this sudden marriage for a while , but whether you are father or Cao Fu, who came all the way back to this sad place just for you, we are both reasonable people. Do you have to be so reckless and embarrass father? Let our Sui family be embarrassed?!"

The young man Sui Wenfa and the young girl Sui Xinyi were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

They had never seen such an angry grandfather.

The girl Mi Li smiled bitterly and said: "Dad, my daughter only knows one thing. People who practice are the most ruthless. Marriage in the mortal world will only be avoided."

Cao Fu's eyes were gentle and he said softly: "Miss Sui, when you become a real monk on the mountain, you will know that there are also Taoist couples on the mountain. Those who can get to know each other at the bottom of the mountain in the early years and get married on the mountain are even rarer. How can I, Cao Fu, do it?" Don’t you cherish it? My master is a golden elixir earthly immortal, a real Taoist man on the top of the mountain. He has been in seclusion for many years. When he came out of seclusion this time, he looked at my face and calculated the movement of the Red Luan star. He also specifically asked you and me about this. After deducing and calculating the birth dates of the two people, there is only a prophecy: a match made in heaven, a rare match in a hundred years."

The Mili woman hesitated for a moment, then said she would wait a moment, took out a handful of copper coins from her sleeve, held it in the palm of her right hand, then raised her arm high and gently threw it into the palm of her left hand.

She rummaged through the picking, finally raised her head, clenched the handful of coins in her hand, and said with a sad smile: "Cao Fu, you know that my first marriage failed, why did you pull up your hair as a woman? Is it like being a widow? Later on, you know that my first marriage failed. Even though my father and your family have negotiated a marriage agreement, I still haven't changed my bun. It's because I relied on this technique to deduce that the scholar who died in infancy is my good match in this life. You Cao Fu is not, not before, but now. Or not, if your family hadn't suffered a tragedy, I would have followed the family line and married you. After all, it was hard to disobey my father's orders. But after this, I vowed never to marry again in this life, so even if my father forced me to marry you , even if I misunderstand you, I still vow not to marry to death!"

She threw the handful of copper coins to the ground, suddenly took out a gold hairpin from her sleeve, and instantly passed through the layer of gauze hanging from the fence above her head, and pressed it against her neck. Blood seeped out. She looked at the horse. The old man on his back sobbed: "Dad, can you let your daughter do whatever she wants for once?"

Sui Xinyu was so angry that he punched his legs and gritted his teeth and said, "You're rebelling, you're really rebelling. Why did you give birth to such a devilish evildoer! What gods and men send each other off in a dream, what masters prophesy about good omens..."

Sui Xinyu was so angry that he was speechless.

Cao Fu smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Sui, how about forget it? I don't want to see Jing Cheng in such a difficult situation."

The scholar in green shirt put his bamboo fan against his forehead, with a headache on his face, "What are you talking about? A woman who wants to commit suicide, an old man who wants to be forced into marriage, a considerate and well-matched immortal master, and an ignorant and want-to-know The young man who quickly recognized his uncle, a young girl who was struggling with the beginning of love in her heart, and a murderous master who was hesitant to find someone to take action. What does it have to do with me? Over there in Xingting, the fighting and killing are over, you guys This is a family matter, should we go home quickly, close the door, and sum it up?"

A horseman slowly passed by Cao Fu and Sui Xinyu, who had stopped side by side, and asked: "On Uncle Xiao's night in the Qingci Kingdom, do you dare to ask the master's sect?"

The man opposite casually mentioned the copper coins scattered on the road and stopped them in the air. He smiled and said: "The Golden Scale Palace enshrines the little Jindan Sword Cultivator. What a coincidence, he just came out of seclusion not long ago. I don't like you two." , I plan to imitate you and be a hero to save the beauty."

Then the man turned his head and looked back, and sneered at the Mi Li woman: "Why are you just throwing money away to tell fortunes? Are you cheating?"

She didn't move at all, just holding the golden hairpin against her neck.

Cao Fu said from the bottom of his heart: "I heard Master mentioned that the chief priest of the Golden Scale Palace is indeed a Jindan sword cultivator with great killing power!"

Xiao Shuye, the swordsman who was among the latest ten, nodded slightly and replied from the bottom of his heart: "This matter is of great importance. The robe and gold hairpin on Sui Jingcheng's body, especially the door formula, are most likely related to the master's path. There is an opportunity, so I can't retreat. Next, I will test that person. If it is really the Jindan sword cultivator from Jinlin Palace, you should run away immediately and I will help you delay. If it is fake, nothing will happen."

The man twisted his wrist, his folding fan moved slightly, and the copper coins began to float up and down. He said with a click of his tongue: "This swordsman brother has such a heavy murderous aura on his body. I don't know how much the sword aura weighs. I don't know how much it weighs compared to me." This natal flying sword is faster than the sword in the rivers and lakes, or the flying sword in the mountains."

A flash of rainbow light quickly shot out from the brow of the scholar in green shirt.

As soon as the Sword Immortal's pocket flying sword appeared, Xiao Shuye swept out, grabbed Cao Fu's shoulders, stood up from the ground, turned around, stepped on a big branch, and swept away.

But the green shirt was already standing on the top of the branch that Xiao Shuye had stepped on. "If I have a chance, I will go to Qingci Country to find you Xiao Shuye and Master Cao."

On the occasion of words.

That Xiao Shuye threw a golden talisman with his backhand.

It was just nailed into the talisman by a flash of sword light, and then it spun back into the hands of the young swordsman. He held it in his hand and shattered with a bang.

Xiao Shuye castrated faster.

Sure enough, it was the Golden Elixir Sword Cultivator from the Golden Scale Palace!

The scholar in green shirt took a step back, then floated back to the ancient tea-horse road. He held a folding fan and said with a smile: "Generally speaking, you should be grateful and say thank you to the hero. Then the hero said no, no, and left gracefully. .In fact...the same is true."

He held it in his hand, and the green hiking pole that he had inserted by the road rose up from the ground, flew past on its own, and was held in the palm of his hand. He seemed to remember something. He pointed at the man sitting on the horse. The old man on his back said, "You scholars, you can be said to be bad or not, you can be said to be good or not, you can be said to be smart or smart, and you can be said to be stupid or stupid. It's really frustrating and irritating. No wonder you get to know a hero like Hu Daxia, who is committed to life and death. I advise you to stop scolding him later. I’m thinking that you two have been friends for a long time. It’s really not in vain. Don’t blame anyone.”

He pointed at the young man, "No matter how good his nature is, if he is exposed to such influence in this kind of family, I guess he is nothing more than an old servant who is good at playing chess but not good at being a human being."

Then he pointed at the girl, "It's not okay to be jealous of those close to you."

Finally, he turned around and looked at the girl with a smile: "Actually, before you stopped and pulled me into the water, I had a good impression of you. In this whole family, you are the most... smart and good person. Of course, it is common sense for people to think that their lives are hanging by a thread and take a gamble. No matter what, you will not lose money. If you win the bet, you will escape, and you will successfully escape the trap of those two people. If you lose the bet, it is nothing more than a loss. You have wronged the infatuated Immortal Master Cao, and you have nothing to lose, so your luck in gambling... is really good."

The scholar in green shirt finally asked: "Have you ever thought about the possibility that we all lose? I will die. Previously, I was just an ordinary man in Xingting, but I started from scratch. In the end, I didn't harm your family, I didn't deliberately build a relationship with you, I didn't ask you to borrow dozens of taels of silver, the good things didn't get better, the bad things didn't get worse. Right? What's your name? Sui what? Ask yourself, even if someone like you has mastered the magic of the Immortal Family and becomes a mountain man like Cao Fu, will you really be better than him? I don't think so."

The man took one step, which seemed to be an ordinary step, and he walked ten feet away, and disappeared in an instant.

Those copper coins had already fallen to the ground.

The Mili woman put away the gold hairpin and squatted on the ground. Her face behind the gauze was expressionless as she picked up the coins one by one.

She put the copper coins into her sleeves and still did not stand up. Finally, she slowly raised her arms, put her palms through the gauze, wiped her eyes, and choked softly: "This is a true cultivator. I know that, with The swordsmen in my imagination are all the same, but I missed this great opportunity..."

Over there at the foot of the mountain.

Hu Xinfeng hid near a rock cliff, trembling with fear.

It's not that he doesn't want to run a little longer, but because there is no cover outside this mountain, Hu Xinfeng is afraid that if he runs, he will get in someone's eyes and suffer another unnecessary disaster.

As a result, Hu Xinfeng's eyes blurred, his knees softened, and he almost fell to his knees. He stretched out his hand to support the stone cliff and said in a trembling voice: "Hu Xinfeng has seen the immortal master."

The young scholar in a blue shirt and bamboo hat smiled and said: "It's no coincidence that we two brothers met again. One kick, one punch and one stone, exactly three times. Why, Master Hu saw that I have a very good character and wanted to accept me as his disciple." ?”

Hu Xinfeng sighed, "If you want to kill or behead me, just one word from the Immortal Master!"

The young scholar said with admiration: "This hero has such a strong backbone!"

He lightly slapped Hu Xinfeng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I'm just a little curious. What did you and Yang Yuan, the Hunjiang Jiao, talk about at the Xingting earlier? What did you talk about in this game of human chess? It’s interesting to watch, but it’s better than nothing, just think of it as helping me kill time.”

Hu Xinfeng's shoulder tilted, and the pain penetrated his bones. He did not dare to cry out, and kept his mouth tightly closed. He felt that the bones in his shoulder were shattered. Not only that, he slowly knelt down involuntarily, while the man only bent down slightly. , the palm of his hand was still gently placed on Hu Xinfeng's shoulder. In the end, Hu Xinfeng knelt on the ground, and the man just bent down and stretched out his hands, looking at the ill-fated Hero Hu with a smile.

The man let go of his hand and leaned the bookcase against the rock cliff behind him. He picked up a wine bottle and drank. He put it in front of him and pressed it. He didn't know what he was pressing. His eyes were blurred by cold sweat and he still tried his best to keep his eyes wide open. There was a chilling mystery in Hu Xinfeng's eyes. The scholar smiled and said: "It's actually a very simple thing to help you find a reason to live. The situation in the pavilion forced me to judge the situation and kill that man." Brother Sui, who deserved his bad fate, left behind two women who were attracted by each other and submitted letters of surrender to the Hunjiang Jiao so that he could survive. Later, a long-lost son-in-law appeared out of nowhere, causing you to suddenly lose A passionate love affair with an old servant, and a quarrel with each other, the relationship will be difficult to repair, so when you meet me, you are obviously just a weak scholar, but you can have nothing to do, walking on the road lively, it will make you very angry, just one moment I was careful not to control my strength well, so I shot a little harder and the number of times was a little too high, right?"

Hu Xinfeng knelt on the ground, shook his head and said, "I deserve to die."

The man stepped on Hu Xinfeng's instep, shattering his foot bones. Hu Xinfeng just gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Then the man kicked Hu Xinfeng in the forehead and pressed his head against the stone cliff.

The scholar bent down, put his elbows on his knees, and asked with a smile: "It's better to know that you should die, so that I don't have to find excuses for you."

Hu Xinfeng's face turned pale and he said in a trembling voice: "I only want one thing. Master Immortal can kill me. I beg Master Immortal not to harm my family!"

The scholar narrowed his eyes and looked at Hu Xinfeng. Hu Xinfeng tried his best to speak: "I beg the immortal master to agree to this!"

Then Hu Xinfeng saw the young scholar and smiled, "I accept this reason. Get up, you still have some backbone at least, don't let me accidentally discount you. If a person kneels for a long time, he will get used to it."

Hu Xinfeng stood up unsteadily, lowered his head and wiped his tears.

It's absolutely true, it's not just pretending to be pitiful.

At that moment before, he felt that he was really going to die, and he even thought about the fact that there were so many people in his family. It might have been a magic fire in which no one could escape, or blood could have flowed all over the ground overnight, and everyone would have died if they said no. .

The man took a sip of wine and said, "Tell me, what did you talk to Yang Yuan about before?"

Hu Xinfeng leaned against the stone cliff and endured the severe pain in his head, shoulders and insteps. He gritted his teeth and did not dare to hide anything. He said intermittently: "I told Yang Yuan that I am familiar with all matters inside and outside the Sui Mansion. Afterwards, You can ask me. Yang Yuan agreed at that time, saying that I was smart."

Chen Pingan drank his wine and nodded, "In fact, at every moment, each of you seems to have made the most correct choice."

Then Hu Xinfeng heard that this young man with unpredictable thoughts changed his face again and said with a smile: "Except me."

The green-shirted scholar glanced at the scenery in the distance and asked casually: "Have you ever heard of the Golden Scale Palace in the mountains on the border of Dazhuan?"

Hu Xinfeng nodded and said: "I heard that Senior Wang Pu talked about the Immortal Mansion at a banquet with a very small number of people. At that time, I could only accompany the last person, but what I heard clearly was that Senior Wang Pu mentioned the golden scales. The three words "Gong" are very respectful, saying that the owner of the palace is a mountain immortal with a very high realm, that is, the Great Seal Dynasty, and maybe only the Protector of the Country and the female Martial God can compete with him."

The scholar sneered, "A pure martial artist who has not yet reached the ninth level dares to say that he is a female martial arts god?"

Hu Xinfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with an embarrassed expression: "It's just the honorific title that we people in the world give to that female master. She has never called herself that."

The green-shirted scholar took a sip of wine and said, "If there is a miraculous medicine like golden sore medicine, please apply it quickly so that you don't bleed to death. I don't have the bad habit of collecting corpses for others."

Hu Xinfeng felt as if he had received amnesty. He quickly squatted down, took out a porcelain bottle, and began to smear the wound with his teeth.

The man suddenly asked: "How much money is this bottle of medicine worth?"

Hu Xinfeng quickly raised his head again and said with a wry smile: "This is the secret elixir of our Immortal Grass Villa in Wuling Kingdom. It is the rarest and most expensive. Even for a person like me who has his own sect, he still has some ways to make money. , I was heartbroken when I bought three bottles, but it was only because of my relationship with senior Wang Dun that I had a drink that Xiancao Villa was willing to sell me three bottles."

The man said: "It is not easy to make money and get involved in the world."

At this moment, Hu Xinfeng felt that he was in trouble and all the grass and trees were soldiers. His mother's grass and trees were indeed an unlucky saying. From now on, I will never set foot in the Great Seal Dynasty again in my life. Go to your mother's grass and trees.

The man suddenly lowered his head and asked with a smile: "Do you think a person with the title of Jinlin Palace Jindan Sword Cultivator would scare Master Cao and Xiao Shuye away?"

Hu Xinfeng hesitated and nodded, "That should be enough."

Hu Xinfeng sat down on the ground and thought for a while, "Maybe not?"

The scholar in green shirt actually picked up the book box, took out the chessboard and chess jar, sat down, and said with a smile: "Then do you think Sui Xinyu's family of four should die?"

Hu Xinfeng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "What's the damn thing? Sui Xinyu has always had a good official reputation and a good person. He just cherishes feathers and keeps himself clean. In the officialdom, he likes to be prudent and self-protective. He is not very pragmatic. But when a scholar becomes an official, not all Is this like this? If someone like Sui Xinyu does not disturb or harm the people, but also does some good deeds, he is already considered good in the Wuling Kingdom. Of course, I deliberately made friends with the Sui family for my own sake. With his reputation in the world, there are not many people who can meet this old minister in the world of Wuling Kingdom. Of course, Sui Xinyu also wanted me to help him get acquainted with senior Wang Dui. How could I introduce him to senior Wang Dui? , kept looking for excuses to shirk it, and after a few times, Sui Xinyu stopped mentioning it. Knowing my difficulties, he was just trying to exaggerate himself at the beginning, and he was bragging. This can be regarded as Sui Xinyu's kindness. "

The scholar in green shirt did not comment, raised his hand, put his fingers together, and revealed a legendary flying sword of the immortal.

Hu Xinfeng swallowed.

Is he really the chief minister of the Immortal Family's Golden Scale Palace? Is he a swordsman who looks young but actually lives hundreds of years?

But the scholar just picked up the chess piece with one hand and carved it carefully with the flying sword in the other hand, as if he was writing a name. After carving, he gently placed it on the chessboard.

Hu Xinfeng thought about it, and it seemed that he first met in Xingting. The immortal in front of him was playing music. Later, when Sui Xinyu talked with him, the immortal did not put the more than thirty chess pieces on the chessboard back into the chess jar, but Gathered around him, it was probably the same as now. Some of the chess pieces had names engraved on them? Worried that Sui Xinyu, who is good at playing chess, would notice this clue while Nianzi was pondering?

The man picked up the chess pieces again and asked, "If I heard correctly, are you the leader of the Crossing Gang in Wuling Kingdom?"

Hu Xinfeng smiled bitterly and said, "The immortal master is making a joke."

The man turned over the side of the chess piece that had his name engraved on it, and engraved the word "Huangdu Gang" before placing it on the chessboard.

After that, more than ten chess pieces were carved out in one breath and placed on the chessboard one after another.

The sword light flashed between his eyebrows.

Then Hu Xinfeng discovered the real swordsman and began to be in a daze.

Previously in the pavilion, it was clear that even he, Hu Xinfeng, was a stinky chess basket that he could surely win.

But at this moment, Hu Xinfeng only felt that the person in front of him who was "making scores" alone was unfathomable and bottomless.

Chen Ping'an placed the hiking pole across his knees and rubbed it gently.

In the previous chess game in the small town on the majestic peak, everyone and everything seemed like chess pieces that had been planted in a steep place. Each one contained danger, but was full of energy.

Even if Ji Yue, the Great Sword Immortal of Yuanwei Mountain, didn't show up at the end, and he didn't casually kill a Golden Elixir Sword Cultivator from the Golden Scale Palace, it was still a great chess game with many wonderful moves.

It's a pity that Chen Ping'an couldn't enter that small town in that chess game. He couldn't study every line in detail, otherwise the sect owner Lin Shu, the former prince, and the two spies of the Jinfei Kingdom who were placed in the Zhengrong Sect , the old monk from the Golden Scale Palace who fought to the death to protect the identity of the prince, etc., without exception, are all exquisite chess pieces that grow on their own on the chessboard. They truly rely on their own abilities, as if they are alive on the chessboard. The people who came over were no longer rigid chess pieces.

As for today's Xingting chess game, everything is disgusting, people's hearts are ups and downs, and the switch between good and evil is not surprising at all.

Old servant Sui Xinyu, a bad guy? Of course it doesn't count. He speaks elegantly and plays chess skillfully.

He is just a good person and good at avoiding disaster. Even Hu Xinfeng felt that the old minister did not deserve to die. Of course, Hu Xinfeng did not know that. His answer, coupled with the previous request before his death, had saved him twice, which made up for the three times of punches, kicks and stones. "Test", but there is another time. If the answer is wrong, he, Hu Xinfeng, will still die.

This Hu Xinfeng is an old man in the world. Before Xingting, he was willing to escort Sui Xinyu on the long journey to the capital of Dazhuan. As long as his life was not in danger, he would always be the famous Hu Daxia.

Du Yu from Ghost Ax Palace has a saying that goes very well: if you don’t see life and death, you won’t see heroes. But death seems to be just like that.

In the Xingting turmoil, Sui Xinyu, who was confused, Yang Yuan, who helped with the acting, and Cao Fu, who was the most cultivated but the most calculated, in terms of notoriety, none of these three parties may be as good as the Hunjiang Jiao Yang Yuan, but Yang Yuan At that time, he spared a scholar who could be crushed to death with his fingers. He even felt that "Chen Ping'an" had some character and character, which was even better than that of Sui Xinyu, a man who had retired with great success and was well-known in official circles, literary circles, and Yilin. .

Hu Xinfeng sat opposite this worldly expert. The injury was only to stop the bleeding, but the pain was real.

The man didn't raise his head and asked casually: "The heroes in the rivers and lakes acted chivalrously and killed the chief criminal with one punch. The rest were accomplices who were behind the tiger's back. Their crimes were not worthy of death. The heroes punished them and walked away. The saved people kowtowed and thanked you. Are you saying that the hero is cool or not?"

Hu Xinfeng blurted out: "What a cool fart..."

At this point, Hu Xinfeng slapped himself, and then quickly changed his words: "Reporting to the Immortal Master is not really cool. If he is a hero in a country and a county, it would be better to say that those gangs The evil ones died, and the rest were injured and suffered. Most of them did not dare to have evil thoughts towards the rescued people. But if this hero was just traveling somewhere far away, he would be gone for a year and a half. It's okay to say that after three to five years, who can guarantee that the rescued person will not end up in a worse situation? It is impossible to say that he just robbed the girl, but in the end he will kill the whole family. So, who is to blame for this tragic incident? Who, does that hero have any sins? I think he does."

The man nodded, "Then what would you do if you were that hero?"

Hu Xinfeng said slowly: "Do good things to the end. Don't leave in a hurry. Try to grind down the rest of the bad guys who can't be killed with one punch. Don't show off your heroic demeanor everywhere. Wicked people still need to be beaten by evil people, otherwise the opponent will really They don't have long memories. If they are scared to the core, it's best to wake up with nightmares in the middle of the night, as if every time they open their eyes tomorrow, the hero will appear in front of them. I'm afraid that only in this way can it be considered true. The rescued people were saved.”

The man raised his head and smiled: "I see that your words are smooth and you don't have to worry about your words. Have you done this kind of thing more than once?"

Hu Xinfeng really couldn't bear the pain, so he couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead again, and nodded quickly: "I did some similar activities when I was young. Later, when I got a family and a family and my own sect, I didn't do it much anymore. I couldn't control it once. There are so many troubles to worry about, and it is even easier to get into trouble. I dare not say that the water is deep everywhere, but the water is really muddy. No one dares to say that he has had his way every time. It is never too late to take revenge after ten years. It is not just about being wronged. , there are good people who have a blood feud, and the descendants and friends of bad people also have such a tolerant character."

The man nodded, "You are a man who understands life well. In the future, when you have great gains and losses and are in a turbulent mood, you still have to suppress the evil thoughts... evil thoughts in your heart. It doesn't matter what you did after the rage. In the final analysis , in fact, it is what you said yourself, the rivers and lakes are deep and confusing, so it is better to be careful. You are already a hero of the rivers and lakes who have earned a considerable family fortune. Don’t fall short of your achievements and harm your family. It is best not to let yourself Being trapped in a dilemma where good and evil intersect, it doesn’t matter whether you are good or evil, but it is not a good thing for others or yourself.”

Hu Xinfeng looked incredulous.

Why do you feel like you're going to die again?

Are these words a bowl of rice for one’s life?

The man smiled and waved his hand, "You're not leaving yet? Why do you think you have a long life, so you have to chat with me here? You still think I'm a bad chess player. Let's follow the example of the old servant and have a game with me. Since you can't compete with your fists, Do you just want to kill me on the chessboard?"

Hu Xinfeng said bitterly: "Master Chen Xian, am I really leaving?"

The man raised his head and said with a strange expression: "Why, you still want me to beg you to leave before you leave?"

Hu Xinfeng said he didn't dare, struggled to get up, limped and ran away.

Now I'm not afraid of the pain anymore.

When you look at yourself in the mirror, you can see Chen Pingan everywhere.

Chen Pingan smiled and continued to stare at the chessboard. The chess pieces were all strangers like Hu Xinfeng.

Feeling that it was not very interesting, he just waved his sleeves and put them into the chess jar casually. It didn't matter if the black and white were mixed up. Then he shook his sleeves and dropped the chess pieces that had been placed on the chessboard by Xingting on the chessboard.

Staring at the chess pieces.

Holding his chin with one hand and shaking the folding fan with the other.

The situation of Zhengrong Peak, a small town on the top of a mountain, aside from its height and complexity, is actually similar to my hometown in some aspects.

After a long silence, he put away the chess pieces and chess equipment and put them back into the bamboo box. He put away the bamboo hat, hiking stick and bamboo box, put away the folding fan, and hung up the sword-raising gourd that was now empty of flying swords.

Chen Ping'an re-attached a carrying tablet talisman to himself and began to sneak around.

There is something that needs to be verified.

There is something I forgot to say before.

But it doesn't really matter if you say it or not. Many people in the world, when they change from a person who sees jokes to a joke in the eyes of others, and when they endure hardships, they only blame others and hate the world, but do not blame themselves and reflect on themselves. As time goes by, some of these people gritted their teeth and endured until the clouds cleared and the moon was bright. Some suffered without knowing it. They felt more comfortable inflicting suffering on others. They called them strong, and their parents did not care. Teach, gods die hard.

On the ancient Tea Horse Road to the foot of the mountain, the four Sui family riders descended the mountain silently, each with their own thoughts.

It was the handsome young man who couldn't help but asked: "Auntie, that Cao Fu is a bad guy with sinister intentions. Hunjiang Jiao Yang Yuan and his gang were sent by him to act for us on purpose, right?"

The Mi Li woman sneered and said, "Ask your grandpa. He has great chess skills, great knowledge, and is an accurate judge of people."

The old man snorted coldly.

The girl was even more distraught, swaying, and almost fell off the horse several times.

After all, Sui Xinyu was an old civil servant who had served as a minister. He said to the young girl: "Wenfa, Wenyi, you go ahead a few steps, I want to discuss things with your aunt."

The young man called his absent-minded sister a few times, and the two of them quickened their horses' hooves slightly and walked in front, but they did not dare to ride their horses far, and they were twenty paces away from the two riders behind them.

The old man slowed down his horse and then kept pace with his daughter. He was worried and asked with a frown: "Cao Fu is now a Taoist on the mountain. The old man is a top master who is incomparable to Hu Xinfeng. Maybe he is as good as senior Wang Bu." What will happen next for a powerful Jianghu Grandmaster? Jingcheng, I know you blame your father for being dim-sighted and unable to see Cao Fu's sinister intentions, but how our Sui family can overcome the difficulties next is the business."

The Mi Li woman spoke indifferently, "Cao Fu doesn't dare to trouble us for the time being, but the journey back home is nearly a thousand miles. Unless the sword immortal named Chen shows up again, it will be difficult for us to return to our hometown alive. It is estimated that the capital city Can't even walk."

The old man said angrily: "This person who hides his head and tail deliberately pretends to be a grandson! It's okay to pretend to be incompetent at the pavilion. Why is it so vague about how to do things like this after revealing his identity? Since it is in the strange novel You are such a swordsman, why don’t you just kill Cao Fu and the two of you? Now don’t you just let the tiger go back to the mountains and leave trouble for the future?!”

Sui Jingcheng seemed to find it boring to hold his breath, so he simply took off the power fence, revealing his beautiful face, looking forward, like an outsider who was not involved in the matter, imitating the words and tone of the old servant, and said with a smile: "Over there in the pavilion, let's It was okay to refuse to save us, but later on, no matter what, he finally saved us once, and now we turn around and resent him for not doing enough good things. Aren’t we, the descendants of the Sui family with a good family tradition, having their conscience eaten by dogs? "

The old man was so angry that he almost whipped him with a whip, this unfilial daughter who spoke so freely!

He lowered his voice, "The most urgent thing is what should we do now to escape this unreasonable disaster!"

At this point, the old man was so angry that he was itching his teeth, "Tell me about you, how dare you talk about your father? If it weren't for you, would our Sui family have this disaster? Do you have the nerve to talk about your father here?!"

The Mi Li woman actually nodded, "What dad taught you is very reasonable."

The old man couldn't bear it any longer, and whipped his cruel daughter hard.

When the boy and girl in front saw this, they quickly turned their heads. The girl covered her mouth with her hand and cried secretly. The boy also felt that the world was shattering and he was at a loss.

Sui Jingcheng was indifferent and just frowned, "I still have some skills. If you hurt me, maybe the situation of narrow escape will become a completely dead game. Dad, you are the master of chess." A great player who has been in the game for decades, you still understand this simple chess theory, right?"

The old man raised his hand again and almost hit her in the face with a whip, but he hesitated for a long time, dropped his arms in despair, "That's it, just wait to die."

The woman was silent for a moment, looked around, and then whispered: "Suppose the worst outcome is that Cao Fu and the two are still unwilling to give up and follow us from a distance. Now the only chance of survival for the four of us is to bet on another person." The best result is that the swordsman named Chen is traveling with us to the capital of Wuling Kingdom. Looking at his route earlier, there is a possibility. But dad, don’t be too happy too early. , I think that as long as Cao Fu and Cao Fu are not seen by the sword immortal and just deal with us carefully, the sword immortal named Chen will not care about our life or death. There is no way, dad, you are at fault in this matter, I Same thing."

She laughed at herself: "They are indeed a father and daughter, and with the well-behaved niece in front of them, it is not like a family does not come into the same house."

The old man said angrily: "Stop talking sarcastically! After all, you are not doing yourself any harm!"

Sui Jingcheng sighed, "Then let's look for an opportunity. How can we pretend that the Sword Immortal named Chen is secretly following us around, and it happens to be enough for Cao Fu and Cao Fu to see it, and they will be frightened and not dare to risk their lives with us."

There was a smile on the old man's face, "This plan is very clever, Jing Cheng, let's plan it carefully and try to make it watertight and natural."

The woman looked sad, "But even if Cao Fu is confused by us, they want to break this situation. It's actually very simple. I want it. I believe Cao Fu will want it sooner or later."

The old man was frightened and asked doubtfully: "How to say?"

She smiled bitterly and said, "If Yang Yuan, the Hunjiang Jiao, comes to kill us again, wouldn't it be enough?"

The old man's face was full of sorrow, "My life is at stake!"

She burst into tears for no reason, put on the power fence again, turned around and said: "Dad, you are actually right. There are thousands of mistakes, and they are all my daughter's fault. If it weren't for me, there wouldn't be so many disasters. Maybe I have long been married to a scholar, and now I am married to a far away country. I am married to my husband and raising my children. Dad, you can continue on your way in peace, and go to Dazhuan Capital with Hu Xinfeng. Maybe you still won’t be able to get the treasure inlay, but When I play chess with others, I will buy new and well-engraved chess records to take home, and I will also send one or two copies to my daughter and son-in-law..."

She choked and became speechless.

The old man was speechless for a long time, only sighing, and finally smiled miserably, "Forget it, silly girl, I can't blame you, dad doesn't blame you for anything."

The father and daughter rode slowly.

On a tree branch far away from the ancient tea-horse road, there was a scholar in green shirt leaning against the tree trunk, gently shaking his fan, looking up at the sky, smiling, and exclaimed: "How could there be such a shrewd woman who gambles on her luck?" It's even better. It's even more powerful than Yao Jinzhi of Tongyezhou. If she follows Cui Dongshan to practice for a period of time, after coming down from the mountain, God knows, will she toy with countless monks to applaud? It's a bit. I mean, it’s barely a new chessboard.”

After a moment of silence, his smile faded little by little, Chen Ping'an murmured: "The chessboard is a new chessboard, but where are the people's hearts?"
