Sword comes

Chapter 1040 Report the news of the plum blossom

Chen Pingan stood in the alley outside the ancestral house and looked at the neighboring houses on both sides.

Xiao Mo knew it in his heart, and asked, "My lord, are the natal porcelain fragments hidden nearby?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said with a smile, "I just don't know if it's in the house on the left or the right."

It is well hidden, it can be said that it is far away from the sky and close in front of you.

On the border of Hongzhou, the team stopped at a post station. Because they are officials and have "official duties", the post station has its own arrangements, just follow the rules, step by step, orderly, more than a dozen officials stayed here in an orderly manner There is a grass station.If acquaintances from the officialdom stay and want to sleep well, the guest rooms in the official residence of the inn are all exquisite, and they have to stay in accordance with their official positions, and they come in rotation from top to bottom. .But if you want to eat well, there is no problem. For example, Yicheng can pay for it out of his own pocket, and ask the cook to cook a small stove and cook a sumptuous banquet. This kind of thing is not illegal.The good law of the country is not blindly strict, but must be reasonable, which has always been repeatedly emphasized by the national teacher Cui Chan.

Entering the official house, Emperor Song He wiped the table with his hand, raised his hand, there was no dust, then went to the window sill, wiped it lightly, and it was still clean, and said with a smile: "In the past, Mr. Guan questioned Mr. Master, you manage major affairs well, which is a skill, but if you manage those small matters too much and too carefully, it is inappropriate, can't you trust the six government offices?"

Song He rubbed his thumb and index finger lightly, "Facts have proved that the 'little things' that my husband has been deliberating over and over again and making fine adjustments back then, my husband took care of them very well. After a long time of success, the more you go on, the more stamina you have."

Cui Chan, the embroidered tiger, besides Da Li Guoshi, is actually Song He's mentor. To a certain extent, Wu Yuan and His Majesty the Emperor can be regarded as brothers with the same background.

It's just that their fellow disciples of this line have nothing to do with Wen Sheng's line.

Yu Mian lowered his voice and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, you haven't said yet, how did the national teacher answer Mr. Guan back then?"

Song He smiled and said, "I remember that Mr. just replied, 'I trust your intentions and original intentions, but not your means and tenacity'. That's the one sentence that choked our old man."

Beside the stables of the post station, the old coachman looked at the young Taoist priest sitting on the railing.

The old man felt powerless, and just about to speak, the Taoist priest wearing a lotus crown made a gesture of wiping his mouth with his fingers, signaling the other party not to speak.

Lu Chen propped his hands on the railing, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about one hundred and one thousand, Pindao is not looking for you to reminisce about the past, he is looking for someone else."

The old man hesitated and had a guess.

Lu Chen immediately stretched out his thumb, and then shook his hand, "Senior is indeed the top spot in the Thunder Division, and this junior admires it."

The old man laughed and said, "It's best for Headmaster Lu to take her away. Just think of it as having some fun for that surnamed Chen. In the future, two people from the same country will meet again in a foreign land, and the enemy's family will meet with jealousy. It will be interesting."

Lu Chen had set up a fortune-telling booth in Lizhu Cave for more than ten years, and they were no strangers to each other.

Poor Lu Wei, who is still a fairyland of the Yin-Yang family, he has calculated and calculated, but the result is that he can't even count that his ancestors are close at hand.

Lu Chen complained: "It's agreed not to chat, what's the matter with senior."

The old man smiled heartily: "Master Lu is a very talkative person, so he doesn't care about these things."

Lu Chen's eyes resented and said: "So you can bully people who are easy to talk one by one, right?"

The old man shook his head, "Ten years in the town, with the flick of a qi trainer on the mountain, Master Lu and I can be reunited. She's here, so I won't delay Master Lu to catch up with you."

The old man left here.

A pair of father and daughter came with a horse.

Lu Chen moved his butt, landed on the ground, waved vigorously with the father and daughter, and shouted courteously, "Here, here."

Of course, he played some tricks to make himself look not so young. According to Ah Liang, he has the vicissitudes of a mature man!

Zhu He felt that the smiling "middle-aged Taoist priest" looked familiar.

The Taoist hurriedly gestured a few times, and finally made a gesture of shaking the stick, and said with a smile: "Do you remember? Me, the one who set up a stall by the main street in Huaihuang County."

Zhu He was full of surprise, and said with a smile, "Director Lu?!"

Zhu Lu actually recognized the other party at a glance, but she just pretended not to recognize the fortune teller.

The father and daughter both went to the stall to tell their fortunes in the small town, but they were different. One wanted to know when his daughter would get lucky, and the other wanted to calculate his own marriage.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Your name is Zhu He, right? Brother Zhu, Pindao has a friend. I ask Pindao to ask you a question."

Although Zhu He was a bit confused, he still smiled heartily and said, "Please tell me, Daoist Lu."

Lu Chen smiled and said: "He just wanted to know one thing. How did you make Chen Pingan think you were a master during the study tour when you left the small town? My friend was puzzled by this question. Puzzled him for many years."

Zhu He was at a loss.What with what?How come I am a master, and what has I got to do with this friend of Daoist Lu?

Zhu Lu's face was gloomy.

She folded her arms around her chest, and subconsciously made a defensive posture, wanting to see what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd today by this fortune teller who gave her a bad impression back then.

In the Weaving Bureau, Zhu He is the nominal second-in-command, second only to Mr. Li Weaving. Zhu He is in charge of a large group of subordinate craftsmen including the officials and chief masters. affairs.His current status is somewhat similar to that of Lin Zhengcheng, the assistant official of the Kiln Supervision and Construction Department in his hometown, so Zhu He is actually in a state of idle retirement.

Daughter Zhu Lu is quite different. All the money and food, government officials and scholars' association activities in a state will be recorded secretly. The household department, and the secret papers that the Weaving Bureau regularly submitted to the Imperial Study Room in the capital were almost all written by her, and Li Baozhen, the weaving officer, was only in charge of embellishing the pen.

Lu Chen leaned his back against the railing and looked at them with a smile.

Zhu He, who is nearly sixty years old, has worked hard in the Golden Body Realm for many years, and is expected to enter the Far Travel Realm.Zhu Lu just became a martial artist of the Six Realms this year.

If you don't show up, follow the arrangement and pave the way of their son, or follow the established trajectory of life, and when Zhu He becomes the master of Yuanyoujing, he will be transferred to the local military officer. Of course, Zhu He is more willing to go to the south, in a small country outside of Dali, establish a sect, and recruit disciples to teach martial arts.As for Zhu Lu, she will break through the realm step by step, and one day, she will die of old age at the level of martial arts at the Yuanyou Realm, she will complain about everyone and everything, and will always be depressed.

On the road of her life, there are always two figures in front of her. One is her sweetheart who seems to be close at hand but can never be found, her son-in-law, Li Baozhen.

The other one is the back view of the unreachable green shirt, the same age in Niping Lane, as if wearing a pair of straw sandals forever, with dark skin and holding a hatchet, always the mud leg of that year.

Zhu Lu was terrified by the Taoist priest, and his hair stood on end.

Lu Chen smiled and asked: "Miss Zhu, have you ever heard a saying, 'The Zhu and Chen family will never betray each other'?"

Zhu Lu sullenly shook his head.

Lu Chen smiled and said: "This is an idiom from Qingming Tianxia. It is not widely spread. It is only known in a place called Youzhou Zhulu County. It is strange that you have never heard of it."

Zhu He was confused when he heard it, did Daoist Lu say something wrong?

So, weird?Shouldn't the ending be "not surprising"?

Lu Chen said slowly: "In terms of background, you started early. In fact, compared to the long eyebrows in Taoye Lane, Longquan Jianzong is already Xie Ling, a sword cultivator in the Jade Realm, and that grandfather is a wedding shop in a small town. Hu Feng, who is the co-owner of Tianxia Engagement Shop Cai Daohuang, is better than many of his peers in small towns, much better. So Zhu Lu, you have been complaining about your bad luck and others over the years, but it is not the case, a big mistake Very wrong."

"Because to a certain extent, even though you were born in Lizhu Dongtian, you are a foreigner with a very rich background and background, because you don't even need any backer. Your backer is your previous life and yourself."

"You even had to enter the town earlier than Pindao, and you were reincarnated into the Li family on Fulu Street early, so that one day, when things will come to you, you can go along with the flow. Well, this is a good way to say, just go along with the flow, for your eldest son , Li Xisheng, protect the way. In this process, you will continue to grow, and you will climb extremely fast. For example, Ma Kuxuan and Liu Xianyang, how fast they have broken through these years, you just have to be as fast as possible. Not slow."

Lu Chen raised his fingers together, "You can swear that if you tell a lie, you will be struck by lightning!"

The old coachman in the distance who used to be in charge of the Department of Reconnaissance of the Leibu really had nothing to do with the third head of Bai Yujing.

In fact, in Qingming Tianxia, ​​there is a not-so-popular idiom called "Zhu and Chen are good friends". In addition, there is a relatively uncommon saying that Zhu and Chen's family will never betray each other.

Because in terms of background, Lu Chen did not tell a single lie today. Even in the eyes of the old coachman, Zhu Lu is an excellent "background". - Xisheng, a small group of people, don't talk about it, she is a well-deserved leader, indeed better than Xie Ling in Taoye Lane, Hu Feng from Xishi Shop, because Zhu Lu belongs to the "outsider" who is half of Lizhudongtian ".

As for the opportunity, it was given to her early on.

Even Chen Pingan may not be clear now, the old coachman, Aunt Feng, and Lu Wei are the young people who talk the most in their spare time, and Zhu Lu is one of them.

They are all guessing her origin. Although the clouds cover her, but this is enough to explain the problem. If the background is not big, how can the mountains and rivers be hazy, making them all feel that they are looking at flowers in the fog?

It's just because she was born in the Li family on Fulu Street. First, there was Li Xisheng, who "represented Li Zong", and then there was Lu Chen, the head teacher, who entered the Lizhu Cave. No one dared to act rashly. In other words, no one could afford it. This Taoist cause and effect.

Zhu He looked complicated.

Zhu Lu clenched her teeth, her teeth creaking, she clenched her fists tightly, and the veins on the back of her hands bulged.

"Youzhou in Qingming Tianxia, ​​you can regard it as a continent on Haoran Tianxia's side, for example..."

The Taoist stomped his feet, "Aquarius Island under our feet, in fact, this analogy is not quite accurate."

Lu Chen pointed to the north, "It should be said that it is the Beiju Luzhou with a larger territory, because Youzhou belongs to the first-class state in the Qingming world."

"There are two places in Youzhou that are most famous. One is the Huayang Palace in Difei Mountain. The Taoist Gao Gu is now the eighth in the world of Qingming."

"The other one is the ancient battlefield in Zhulu County."

"And in your previous life, you were the local Taoist official over there. And the biggest thing you did in your previous life was to turn Zhulu County into a battlefield site. The last Taoist official who fought against you at that time was this Gao Gu who was forced down the mountain, if you are aggressive, you have always been the best of the best."

Zhu He gently grabbed Zhu Lu's arm, his eyes signaled her not to be afraid.

Zhu Lu was expressionless, staring straight at the Taoist priest, and popped out words from between his teeth, "You, what, who are you?!"

Lu Chen just said to himself: "Let's make an analogy again. There used to be a gambling table. Some people only carried a few copper coins for gambling, and some people had a few taels of silver in their pockets. And you, It was carrying a sack of gold and silver ingots."

"As a result, there was a crash, the wrong bet was made, and the bet was soon over, and the loss was over."

"According to the development of a certain thread, you will first get to know Li Huai, have experienced some things, and then travel with Li Xisheng to Luzhou in Beiju, and you will also get a dagger with a seal engraved with 'Chasing the Deer', and this Just one of many opportunities you deserve."

"Recall carefully, when you left Fulu Street when you were young, did you meet a poor kid with a thick head and a tiger head, who might still be wearing crotch pants? Well, you saw him later, but you still didn't like him, no matter what. stand up."

"Yes, you must have been with Li Baozhen earlier."

"I guess that in Li's mansion back then, you must have repeatedly weighed and weighed, and heaven and man fought, and finally chose the second son who was more eccentric to the wife in charge, rather than the eldest son. It may be because Li Xisheng's name did not include Bring the word 'treasure'."

"Because this is your robbery."

"A lot of knowledge in our life comes from the books we read in the previous life. Of course, there are books inside and outside the books. So the books we read in this life are not only for the present, but also for the next life. "

"In your previous life, it was because you were so smart, so smart that you kept accumulating, and finally at a certain moment, it blossomed and bore fruit, which caused you to miss a chance to join the Dao that should have been taken for granted. It caused a big mistake. It was Bai Yujing, the headmaster, who pleaded for you, and then helped you make amends and correct your mistakes, so that you could avoid death. Therefore, in this life, you have to start all over again, and you can make up for your mistakes, or... continue as before."

"Look, you are just too smart, so smart that you are not wise at all. At this moment, you start to resent the poor. Why didn't you call you earlier, why did you stand by?"

"You have to know, how old were you when Pindao went to Lizhu Dongtian to set up a stall? Do you think it is so easy to change a person's fixed mind? Otherwise, why would there be an old saying called Jiangshan Is it easy to change your nature and hard to change?"

"Besides, Pindao has no relationship or reason with you, is it your father?"

"You still like to blame others, and you never like to find problems from yourself. With you like this, even if Pindao entered the town ten years earlier... Maybe it will work, but it's a pity that Pindao's ability is so little, with small arms and slender arms Legs, do you think that you can enter the Lizhu Cave? You can help if you say you can help? Besides, we humans have to encounter things and suffer, so we can change our minds and make a wish. Seeking good fortune for yourself, always thinking of encountering noble people to help you on the road, this kind of mentality is unacceptable."

"In the books of sages and sages that Li Baozhen read, there must be such a sentence, 'If you can't do anything, you should turn to yourself, and the world will return to you'. Besides, there are four large characters on the Crab Shop in your hometown, 'Mo Ask outside'?"

Lu Chen shifted his gaze and said with a smile: "Zhu He, Zhu He, you are good at everything. You are honest and responsible, and you have a kind heart. There is only one thing that needs to be changed. I like the habit of admitting mistakes on behalf of others. Change it in the future. It's not too late to fix it, maybe, maybe, maybe."

An old man, to this day, is still full of guilt for that boy back then. He is sincerely happy with the achievements of the boy in Mud Bottle Lane, but he dare not show the slightest real emotion to his daughter, so After so many years, it is actually not easy.

Lu Chen put his hands horizontally, patted the railing lightly, and looked up into the distance.

What is a gaming table.

If you don't want it, someone wants it.

Zhu Lu asked, "Who are you?"

Lu Chen said with a smile: "Poverty Dao's surname is Lu, let's talk about it at a higher level, and think about it at a higher level."

Zhu Lu didn't realize it, and burst into tears.

Lu Chen said with a smile: "Miss Zhu, don't cry so sadly, it's not too late to make up for it. Otherwise, why did Pindao come to you and tell you the truth, just to make you regret it? Pindao is one of the most important figures on the mountain, Very busy!"

The old coachman let out a snort.

You are one of the few great monks in the world, there is nothing wrong with this sentence, but you, Lu Chen, are very busy?

"Life is a step-by-step walk, like reading, composing and writing. You must write stroke by stroke, earnestly, and write calmly."

Lu Chen raised one foot, and gently turned the toe on the ground, "It is said that it is three years old, but in fact, it is just that each has its own clumsiness in writing, and the speed of walking. People's blessings and achievements. Besides, if you are really willing to work hard, stupid people are willing to watch more and learn how to live smartly, and smart people are willing to use stupid ways to be a human being. According to the saying in your hometown, if you have mastered your skills, you will not be judged to death early Seeing success slowly, there will be a new atmosphere in the world, which can surprise others and make people jump."

Lu Chen stood up straight, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "There is a person who said that it is good. The wind and waves are evil, and the barnyard grass spirit is weak. There is no other way, that's all. You, me, him and her , all encourage each other.”

"It's alright, alright, don't look at Pindao with that cannibalistic look, Pindao will give you another choice and opportunity, say goodbye to your father, and then follow Pindao together...to return home."

"Zhu Lu, Pindao has opened up the skylight with you to talk brightly. The ugly words come first. If you still can't cherish it, Pindao can only ha ha ha ha!"

Lu Chen raised one sleeve, shook it, and lazily said: "Do you know what this is? I would like to advise you, it is best not to know in this life."

After walking this way, the Queen Mother Nanzan found that she liked to chat with Yu Yu, so she took the girl into the house together. When she offered to pour water, Yu Yu asked a question that only she could ask. He raised his head and held the cup, and asked in a low voice: "Empress Dowager, do you have Changchun Palace wine? I'm a little tired after a long journey. Drink a little wine to refresh yourself, so that you can have a good chat with Empress Dowager!"

"Let's drink with a glass of wine for the time being, let's drink from a bowl."

Nanzan nodded with a smile, took out two pots of fairy wine from her sleeve, and then cast a forbidden technique to prevent the wall from having ears, gently knocked the wine bowl with the girl, and drank it all. The woman took the initiative to say something she set up last time The inside story of the reception of "Chen Yinguan" at the banquet was of course the process of being modified by the empress dowager. The Li Song family is willing to do their best to devote human, material and financial resources to help him practice and climb all the way until the bottleneck of the ascension realm...

As Nanzan spoke, her eyes turned red, and there were faint tears in her eyes. She took a sip of the wine, stretched out her palm, brushed the table lightly, and murmured: "Yu Yu, you said it's all like this. Why can't we talk about it?"

Before meeting with Chen Pingan, she said that she was a golden elixir, but she was actually a nascent soul.It's just that Chen Pingan saw through the level of the realm at a glance.

Yu Yu really dared to say, "Empress Dowager, listen and don't be angry. Seriously, you shouldn't talk like this. You should talk about money and business with businessmen, and you should talk about sages and sages with scholars. After getting close, Find another opportunity to talk about feelings with business people, and do business with scholars."

Nanzan was taken aback for a moment, raised his head and said with a smile, "It seems reasonable."

Yu Yu cautiously asked, "Empress Dowager, Mr. Yin did not do anything inappropriate to you, did he?"

That guy, when it's easy to talk, he can talk easily, but when it's not easy to talk... Forget it, don't want to, don't dare to think, just don't think about it.

Nan Zan chatted with Yu Yu for a long time, each drank a jar of wine, but was abducted by the little girl for two jars of Changchun Palace Immortal Brew, and Yu Yu walked away refreshed leave the house.

Nanzan sat alone in the house, looking around, filled with resentment, she held the white bowl with two fingers, held it up high, and was about to hit it heavily on the table.

Just after thinking about it, Nanzan still put it down gently, and there was no need to put it down with a white bowl.

Subconsciously, she leaned back and almost fell to the ground, only to remember that the seat she was sitting on was just a bench, not the chair she was used to for many years.

The woman was so angry that she swung her sleeve vigorously and smashed the white bowl against the wall. She sighed again, and drove the white bowl that was about to be smashed back to the table.

Staring blankly at the empty bowl, the more aggrieved the woman became, her chest heaved with anger.

At that time, she was sure that the other party would not dare to commit murder in the capital.How can a closed disciple of a literary sage behave rebelliously.The point is, as long as he has some sense and brains, how can he bear the heart of the flourishing Dali Foundation, especially the achievements created by his senior brother Cui Chan, in the hands of you, Chen Pingan, to be wasted?

As a result, one of Nanzan's heads was beheaded by the opponent, if she hadn't immediately used a secret method of Lu's "family tradition"...

Thinking of this, Nanzan couldn't help rubbing his forehead, then stretched out his palm, and gently brushed his neck.

This guy who stepped on dog shit all the way, suddenly became rich, and his bones were lightened!Just like that, a young servant with a yellow hat and blue shoes, went into the palace.The person who led the way at that time was Lu Wei who claimed to be half of the same town as Chen Ping'an. This ancestor, Nanzan whose real name was Lu Jiang, and that Lutai all came from the Lu clan.The one surnamed Chen not only lit a lantern talisman for her, but also put a stick of Yunxia incense on Lu Wei.He cut off Nan Zan's head, pressed her head down and forced her to kowtow like garlic, and finally flipped the table over.

The reason why Nanzan asked to leave Beijing with the emperor this time was not for sightseeing, but for two personal matters, and Chen Pingan couldn't be avoided.

One thing is to confirm with Chen Pingan whether there are still a few Lingxi beads left in the bead string in his hand that can be used.

The second thing is that she wants to know whether she can break away from the Lu family, the yin and yang family in Zhongtu, and completely dissociate herself from that huge monster that makes her feel lingering fear.

Just like before, when the old coachman was at the Fire God Temple, he was teased by Aunt Feng, and if he really couldn't do it, he would confess to Chen Ping'an, sell him well, and expose Lu Wei's old background over there.It's not that the old coachman was not tempted, but he still dismissed the idea. He really felt that even if he provoked the sword cultivator, he should not make enemies with the fortune teller.It's just a few blows to provoke a sword repairman, but if you can bear it, the story will be over.But it is not a matter of a lifetime or two to make enemies with Qi practitioners of the Yin Yang family, especially the Lu family of Zhongtu.If the old coachman is so afraid of the Yin-Yang family, let alone Nanzan, an insider who has been reduced to a pawn on the chessboard.

It's just that for some reason, since Lu Wei returned to the family, she seems to have completely forgotten her "Lu Jiang".

Among today's Nanzan hair buns, there is a green bamboo hairpin made of ordinary materials.

Yu Yu found out, but she didn't delve into it. She just thought it was the Queen Mother's leisure and elegance, after all, she looked very elegant.

Previously in the imperial palace, she did not, and she did not dare to lie to that young hidden official who is deeply in the city.

She did secretly put the piece of natal porcelain back into the Lizhu Cave.

When Nan Zan's complexion was changing and his imagination was running wild, a strange voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"A little bureaucrat of the Weaving Bureau who could only eat dust behind the carriage just now can suddenly be on an equal footing with the queen mother of a country in the Great Li Dynasty. How does it feel?"

Nan Zan raised his head slowly, only to see a young Taoist priest wearing a lotus crown. As for the woman next to the Taoist priest, the surname seems to be Zhu?Is it the maidservant next to weaving officer Li Baozhen?

She didn't even look at it.

The woman was sluggish for a moment, but she soon returned to normal. Then tears filled her eyes, she quickly got up, retreated again and again, stood still, and then knelt down and kowtowed, making a loud bang.

It was only when she thought about breaking up with "Lu Jiang" that she lost all her thoughts at the moment, and Lihua cried out in tears, "Lu Jiang pays homage to the ancestors!"

Lu Chen jumped sideways and stretched out his palm, "Don't, don't identify your ancestors with Pindao, Pindao already owes a whole lot of debt."

Except for that kid from Lu Tai, who is clear-cut, witty, and fairly filial, there are really few masters who can really make his ancestors feel at ease.

When something happens, I like to kowtow to my ancestors. I have something to do with my ancestors, so I kowtow to you, okay?It works?Since it doesn't work anyway, whoever is to blame.

Lu Jiang ignored it and just kowtowed vigorously.

Lu Chen moved a bench to sit down, raised his legs, and said with a smile, "Okay, what's the point of kowtowing without any sincerity? Is it true that the ancestors on the hanging portraits are all dead?"

Lu Jiang still didn't listen, just kowtowed, probably to show her sincerity, her forehead was already red and swollen.

Lu Chen patted his knees and said: "I'm afraid of you, get up, just don't let you kowtow for nothing, as a reward, I will say hello to God Lu, and from now on, the name Lu Jiang will be written off from the Lu family tree Yes. I counted to three, and if I didn’t get up again, I left, just as if I didn’t come this trip today. As for thinking about relying on Lu Jiang to get close to me, Nanzan, you are daydreaming, and you end up fetching water from a bamboo basket Nothing. One, two..."

Nan Zan quickly stood up.

Lu Chen smiled and asked: "I didn't want to come here, but there is something, I'm really curious, tell me, where did you order Yang Hua to put that piece of natal porcelain?"

Nan Zan didn't dare to hide the slightest thing, she was still crying, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Back to the ancestors... According to Master Lu, I have already asked Yang Hua to secretly put the piece of natal porcelain next to the ancestral house in Chen Ping'an Niping Lane. ?”

"Oh?"

Lu Chen's eyes lit up, and he grinned from ear to ear, "Next door, left or right?"

Nanzan said, "It's in the drawer of Song Mu's study, inside a book from elementary school."

Lu Chen seemed a little disappointed, curled his lips, stood up, "Go home, go home."

Nan Zan hesitated to speak.

Lu Chen stretched out his fingers, tapped the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile, "Nan Zan, I have an extra word for you, don't scold Chen Pingan in your heart, he can actually hear it, just don't care about it."

Nanzan was suddenly struck by lightning.

Now she was really panicked.

In terms of memory and forbearance, especially the ability to hold grudges, that guy definitely impresses Nanzan.

Lu Chen laughed and said, "You really believe it too."

Nanzan was at a loss.

Lu Chen nodded to himself and said, "I can believe it."

"If you don't believe it, you may suffer a lot. If you believe it, you won't suffer a loss but gain something. Why don't you believe it?"

Lu Chen kicked the bench back to its original position, "The knowledge in the world is the most difficult to sail at night."

Leading Zhu Lu ignoring the wall, walking straight all the way, Lu Chen covered his sleeves with both hands, "Poverty Dao doesn't think so much about it."

"In my opinion, the most difficult thing is to bend down and pick up money all over the floor."

"Obviously it's readily available, but almost no one is willing to pick it up, but they just don't want to put it in their pockets. In this world, everyone should have a lot of money, and there are dragons and snakes everywhere. How strange."

"Fellow Daoist, do you know the copper coins all over the floor, if there is a meaning, what is it?"

Zhu Lu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and his face darkened as he murmured, "True."

"That's right."

Lu Chen laughed, "So you know."

The goodness of heaven gives us the opportunity to make mistakes.

"It's too late to go, and the center is violated. It's back."

Lu Chen stretched his waist, "The Taoist in the mountain reported the news about plum blossoms."

----

In the capital city of Qingxing Country, there is a secluded Taoist temple full of ancient cypresses, with a deserted courtyard, it seems that no one comes here to burn incense.

After all, Cheng Qian is just a real person protecting the country, he has never served as a national teacher, so it is very suitable to live in a secluded place to practice Taoism, away from the turmoil of the officialdom.

Wen carefully recuperated in the Taoist temple these days.

Cheng Lao, who looks like a child, took a bath and changed his clothes today, went to the Patriarch Hall to light three sticks of incense, purple smoke curled up, and then a woman walked out from a picture scroll, it was the Lord of Lingfei Palace, the Patriarch of Dongting .

Walking out of the Patriarch Hall together, Cheng Qian and Patriarch Xiangjun talked about the current situation in detail. It turned out that a spoiler suddenly popped up not long ago, and it seemed that he wanted to compete with Lingfei Temple for the boundary of Hehuan Mountain.

Except for Emperor Liu of Qingxing Kingdom, the monarchs of the other two countries around Hehuan Mountain showed signs of changing their minds.

Cheng Qian said: "A group of three people are currently in the Imperial Palace in the capital, and they want to discuss with His Majesty about the purchase of the mountain.

Daoist view, tell this matter. "

Mr. Xiang asked suspiciously: "What is their background? Didn't they leak any information before?"

As for opening up Hehuan Mountain as a private ashram and going down the mountain from Lingfei Temple, Mr. Xiang was not very annoyed by being intercepted halfway by the other party, but was more curious.

Cheng Qian explained: "The previous two times, this group of people acted more covertly and airtightly. The other party went directly to the emperor and discussed the matter face to face in secret. This time it seems that they deliberately let the Taoist know, so I was able to inform the palace master .One man and two women, both of whom are outsiders, have used blindfolds. It can be seen that the bid is very high, otherwise the emperors of the two countries would not risk enmity with us to earn such a hot fairy money. "

Came to an elegant courtyard, Wen carefully waited here, stretching out his hand to tease a koi in a water tank, this martial arts master who was a little sick recently said with a sneer: "You are not small, tomorrow Knowing that it is the business of our Lingfei Palace, as long as you are not a deaf person, you should have heard that Patriarch Cao has shown up in the Hehuan Mountain area before, and they dare to blatantly compete with us in the market, I wonder, why?"

Mr. Xiang turned a deaf ear to it, and Cheng Qian didn't care about it. Recently, Wenxiu is in a bad mood, and he has his own reasons.Although Cheng Qian didn't know about the sparring outside Fenwan's mansion, Wen Xixiong was "moved here" by Jinxianan Xingzi to recuperate. The injury was not light, but not too serious. It is inevitable to take good care of the panacea and medicinal diet for a few months, but there is only one thing that makes Cheng Qian more concerned. It seems that during this period of time, Wen carefully tried to sit and forget and concentrate on refining Qi several times, but it was fruitless. Well, the whole person started to get irritable.

There is a pair of chess sets and some old chess records in the house.The two jars of chess pieces are both made of black and white pebbles in the stream. The materials are very ordinary, but they are made with care.

Mr. Xiang took off his boots outside the house, walked into the room with bamboo mats, sat on the side of the chessboard, and extended his hand to invite: "Cheng Qian, let's talk about a game."

After Cheng Qian took his seat, he said with a smile, "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."

Wen carefully didn't take off his shoes, and sat by the door, with his back to the two players, absent-minded, frowning, and his expression was extremely gloomy.

If it weren't for being in another Taoist temple, Wen Xixiu would have yelled at him a long time ago, and it is possible to drink too much. With the help of alcohol, Yufeng found a secluded mountain, and insisted on destroying countless mountains.

It's just because he's been suffering unspeakably these days. Every time he closes his eyes, does his homework, and concentrates for a while, the woman's face will appear in his mind, her slightly sarcastic expression, especially Her hot and cold extremely contradictory eyes made Wen Xinxiu have to withdraw his mind every time he started to sit and forget, causing his recovery speed to be more than a day or two slower than he expected?

A young Taoist priest with a golden corolla on his head walked lightly, walking like flowing water, and floated towards him. He stood at the door without taking a second look into the courtyard. Come to the door, there are three people, one woman and two men, all are Qi practitioners, disciples can't see their cultivation, they claim to discuss a deal with the temple master."

Cheng Qian hung his fingers in the air, looking at Patriarch Xiangjun, she nodded.

Cheng Qian lightly landed on the chessboard, and said in a crisp voice, "Bring them here."

The bored Wen carefully became interested, listened to the sound to identify the position, listened to the sound of footsteps and breathing, he didn't look like the kind of successful monk, could it be a bumpkin with a few stinky money in his pocket, stupefied, and walked away from the mountain. The peak is too far away, but dare not take Lingfei Palace, which has just been promoted to the initials of Zong, seriously?After a while, Wen carefully saw the figures of the three people. The leader was a young man in Confucian shirts, with a hosta pinned to his head, smiling, with good skin and good manners.On the left is a woman who looks like a country woman. On the right, Wen can't help but take a few more glances. She has green snails in her bun and has a graceful figure. She is wearing an emerald green robe of high rank. Her slender waist, which can be grasped tightly, is like the weight of a fairy's clothes.

Mr. Xiang just took a look, and he knew that these few were not Yi Yi's people, and they were undoubtedly crossing the river.

It is only said that the emerald green robe worn by the young female cultivator, even Mr. Xiang has only seen it in the Lingji of Taoism, is the so-called "Doushi Gongzhu Clothes" by Taoists, which consumes a lot of resources and is extremely difficult to refine.

According to the records in the book, this kind of immortal Zhuyi, known as "one brush at a hundred years old", only appeared in a batch in the ancient times when real people on land had their own governance. It is said that it can help Qi practitioners contact In the long river of time, the vicissitudes of life, and the passage of time, almost no female cultivators wear them on their bodies.

Since Cheng Qian, a local snake, may not be able to suppress them, as the patriarch of the ancestor, Lord Xiang didn't think about how to test it, so he put the chess pieces back into the chess jar, and said with a smile: "Lingfei Palace, Lord Xiang, the Taoist name is Dongting. You are?"

The young man in the lead looked warm, bowed to him and said, "Baidicheng, Gu Can. I pay my respects to Master Xiangjun, Master Cheng-zhen, Master Wen."

The maid at the side, looking around, silently bestowed a blessing, she just made such a silent movement, full of charm.

Only the middle-aged village woman remained motionless.

Wen carefully thought that he had heard it wrong, "You are Gu Can?!"

What is the high apprentice of Zheng Juzhong in Baidi City going here to buy a piece of unlucky land?As for the Lizhu Cave where Gu Can was born in the Great Li Dynasty, Wen Xiangxiu has of course heard about it.What Gu Can did in that Shujian Lake when he was young, because of a certain landscape travel book, was even up and down the Baopingzhou Mountain, which is well known to passers-by.Why, this is the prodigal son turning his back on money?

After Gu Can stood up, she nodded with a smile, "I am."

Wen carefully tutted and said, "You actually recognize me?"

Gu Can nodded and said, "There are so many rumors in the world, it's hard not to hear about them."

Wen carefully asked in confusion: "You don't look crazy, why do you say you are a 'crazy'?"

Gu Can smiled and said, "It would be great if Master Wen could still feel this way after we finish talking today."

Wen carefully laughed, and gave a thumbs up to Gu Can, "It's finally a bit of a madman."

Mr. Xiang didn't stop Wen from chatting carefully with Gu Can.It is not a bad thing to understand the other person's mind as much as possible through words and deeds.

Since he is Gu Can and his identity is unquestionable, then the previous question can be explained. In Haoran Tianxia, ​​Mr. Zheng's direct disciple in Baidi City really doesn't need to sell face to Lingfei Palace.

Gu Can glanced at the chess game in the room, and said, "Don't dare to delay the hand-talk between Grand Master Xiangjun and Master Cheng - the younger generation has something to say."

Mr. Xiang smiled and nodded, "Please tell me."

Gu Can stood in the small courtyard calmly, and said slowly: "Since Master Xiangjun and Lingfei Palace have only negotiated a preliminary intention with the Liu family of Qingxing Kingdom, and have not yet signed a contract in black and white, this There is no such thing as a certainty, and the younger generation will still have a chance, and the business in the world is nothing more than asking for what you like and I want, and the highest price gets it."

"Besides, I'm bound to win the land of Hehuan Mountain. There is no price gouging up. Anyway, every time you bid, I will only pay you one grain rain."

"So if you are not angry, you can keep asking the price, let me spend more money, when the anger is smooth, and when to quit."

Xiangjun frowned slightly.

Cheng Qian's expression was even more displeased. Do you, Gu Can, really think that you are your master, Mr. Zheng?Can you talk so much?

Wen carefully laughed angrily, and said firstly: "When will the face of our Lingfei Palace be worth only one grain rain?"

Gu Can said: "Master Wen just needs to take good care of his wounds."

The implication is that you are not qualified to intervene in what the two sides are talking about.

The maid next to her with the pseudonym Lingyi and the Daoist name Chunxiao covered her mouth and smiled.

Those who have read books, insinuating, yin and yang, and speaking so badly?

Hearing the coquettish snicker, Wen carefully shifted his gaze to look at the maid-like efficacious.

All of a sudden, Wen Xixiu's eyes froze, he was restless, his heart was like falling into an ice cave, his air mechanism was not running smoothly, and his face was flushed. Fortunately, he soon returned to normal, but fine sweat oozes from his forehead.

Gu Can took a look at the "face" of Lingshi at this moment, squinted his eyes, looked away, looked playful, and said in his heart: "Father Xiang Jun, any sect will cultivate a Qi trainer with this kind of qualification, and the wind on the mountain Big, the road is rough, don't be careless, you will die if you say you will die."

Xiangjun said calmly, "Are you threatening me?"

Gu Can shook her head and said, "This junior is just presenting the facts, reasoning, and talking about a possibility."

"What's more, as long as you and I don't send reinforcements, turn around and look for Master, do you think I need to talk nonsense to you? It's just a business, but it's more than money. I've already given Lingfei Palace and Cao Tianjun Save face."

"Hehuan Mountain, Xiaoshujian Lake? If it is really Shujian Lake, set a life and death statement, hehe, I will screw all your heads off."

Han Qiaose is the highest level, and one of the few great monks in Baidi City. She can hear the conversation between the two sides, and she is amazed. Why did you change your mind temporarily, Gu Can is no longer like Gu Can."

Lingyue smiled sweetly from his heart: "The master seems to have seen someone he knows through those warm and careful eyes, and this person has a close relationship with that person, so he got angry, very angry. Of course, this is the same as The master fought such a fierce battle with us in the wilderness, and then foolishly went to fight Cao Ci for the second time. The wounds added to the wounds. It is inevitable that the Dao will not be stable. It is all related. Entering the Immortal Realm is a journey of 'seeking truth', and the relationship is even more important."

Han Qiao smiled and said, "Little bitch, do you know Gu Can so well?"

Lingshi laughed and said: "Don't say it so harshly, I might call you sister in the future, don't worry, if you are a housewife, I can be a child."

Han Qiaose walked over to Lingyue's side, pinched the neck of her white and smooth hand, and shook it, "Little girl, don't you keep the door open when you talk? Your mouth is full of dung, are you shitting in your ass?"

In an instant, the entire courtyard was filled with a condensed and murderous aura.

Lingshi shrank his neck, begging for mercy again and again and said he didn't dare.

Cheng Qian was a little shocked.

This is infighting?

As expected of a monk who walked out of Baidi City.

Gu Can said, "Busy with business."

Han Qiaose let go of her fingers, rubbed her neck, and said timidly: "Master, don't blame me, it's your aunt who bullied me."

Wen Xixiu was out of his mind.

Cheng Qian's face paled when he heard the words.

Isn't Gu Can's sister-in-law the sister of Mr. Zheng in Baidi City, the immortal Han Qiaose? !

On the mountain, whether a Qi trainer of a certain realm can be called outstanding, in fact, the threshold is very simple, that is, whether he can be regarded as a swordsman.

The Patriarch of Lingfei Palace, Taoist Heavenly King Cao Rong, is of course listed here.As for Han Qiaose in Baidi City, the same is fine.

There is an undocumented gossip on the mountain, it is rumored that Han Qiaose once vowed to practice twelve kinds of avenues of magic, and every path she chose was a mountain climbing road that the genealogy cultivators of Baidi City daunted.Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, the outside world has a consensus that Han Qiaose will definitely be able to ascend to the Ascension Realm.

Mr. Xiang smiled and said, "I'll give you the boundary of Hehuan Mountain, so you won't have to spend that Gu Yu's money, Fellow Daoist Gu."

Gu Can had a small accident, hesitated for a moment, took out a Gu Yuqian from his sleeve, twirled it between his fingers, walked straight into the house, and squatted beside the chess board without touching the ground, and changed hands from Cheng Qian's chess pot. Twist a chess piece, put it on the chessboard, and put the Gu Yuqian on the edge of the chessboard, raised his head and said with a smile: "Just think that Gu Can owes you a favor from Lingfei Palace, and I will remember whether you need it or not." In my heart, the avenue is high and far, the world is impermanent, whether it is Cao Tianjun who has been aiming to ascend for a long time, or the patriarch of Xiangjun who will probably go to Baiyujing to practice and prove the Tao, whether he should be the master of the palace or not, it doesn't matter whether he is gentle and careful. There is always a chance to see you again.”

Gu Can paused for a moment, then asked with a smile: "Do you need the younger generation to do it for you, crushing this Gu Yu money, so that you can see it out of sight and out of your mind?"

Mr. Xiang still smiled, shook his head and said, "No need. Just keep it. As you said, no matter if I go to Baidi City or you go to Baiyujing in the future, I believe there will always be a chance to see you again."

Gu Can's eyes were as hot as two fire cages, and she stared blankly at the female crown named Dongting.

Mr. Xiang subconsciously shifted his gaze, as if avoiding the sharp edge.

But before she could express anything, Gu Can stood up with a smile, walked out of the courtyard, turned around and bowed, "Your junior is rude, how offending you are."

After leaving the Taoist temple, Han Qiaose asked: "Xiao Can, after thinking about it, will you create a sect here?"

Gu Can shook her head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. Anyway, I just bought a piece of land, and the cost is not big."

Han Qiao smiled and asked, "Huh?"

Gu Can didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It doesn't mean that, what are you thinking about?"

In fact, Han Qiaose doesn't care about the love between these men and women at all, she just feels sorry for Gu Can.

Back then, Gu Can went from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Jade Pu Realm after retreating from the Yuanying Realm, and the person who guarded the pass was Han Qiaose.

She failed once, but what worried Han Qiaose even more was when she opened the door and saw the haggard young man with tears and snot on his face.

As for what Gu Can's inner demon is, Han Qiaose has already guessed it.

At that time, the young man sitting cross-legged on the futon, clenched his fists and put them on his knees, murmured to himself in despair.

"I don't like these...reasons, I just can't beat them, so I have to bow my head to them."

"I am who I am. Gu Can will always be Gu Can. I can correct my mistakes, but I won't admit them to you. I am not wrong!"

"You know, I will not lie on your side since I was a child... I have never changed, you have changed."

How could Han Qiaose know how to comfort others, she could only stand at the door, looking at the heartbroken young man, like a beast hiding in a dark corner and licking its wounds alone.

Then senior brother Zheng Juzhong appeared at the door, Han Qiaose stiffened her hair and wanted to ask senior brother to help, so that Gu Can could tide over the difficulties and cross this tribulation.

Zheng Juzhong just smiled and said: "With this little heart, you dare to say that you want to practice the Dao in Baidi City and reach the top, just to prove that Chen Ping'an is not wrong, and you are not wrong either?"

As a result, Gu Can's next performance scared even Han Qiaose.

The young man who forcibly restrained himself from getting into a rage, kept his sitting position and just yelled, "Go to hell!"

Han Qiaose was stunned at the time, there really was no one who dared to talk to her senior brother like that.Do you have.ever?There may be, but the end can be imagined.

Fortunately, the senior brother didn't get angry, just shook his head and smiled and said: "People are poor and short-sighted, the river is narrow and the water is rough, it's really pitiful."

Gu Can just lowered her head, panting, the aftereffects of retreat failure appeared, her face was covered with blood, flowing out from the seven orifices continuously, washing away those tears and snot.

Zheng Juzhong stepped on the threshold with one foot, "Don't mean, don't have to, don't be firm, don't be me. The way is the measure, so don't be arbitrary."

Gu Can slowly raised her head, turned her neck, her eyes were intense, fixed on that master, No.1 in the world of magic.

Zheng Juzhong smiled and said: "This is what Chen Ping'an might tell you when he sees you in such a field, because he will take pity on you. But you and him have never dared to admit it. As long as Gu Can doesn't die for a day, Chen Ping'an will be happy." Why don't you pity him if you can't get out of Shujian Lake in a day? Because you don't even have the ability to pity him, you obviously hate him so much that you don't even dare to hate him, not at all."

Han Qiaose felt chills running down her spine when she heard this, and the majestic cultivator in the fairyland had goose bumps all over her body on the spot.

It seemed that at that moment, Gu Can's whole heart disappeared.

But at this moment, Zheng Juzhong had already turned around and left. He just asked this disciple a question, and at the same time gave an answer that was not an answer.

"If you don't kill the heart demon Chen Pingan today, how will you protect Chen Pingan in the future? Do you rely on Gu Can's Nascent Soul Realm?"

"You want to go to a higher place, and you have to climb to the highest place. One day, after paying off the debt, tell Chen Pingan that you are wrong and I am right."

Zheng Juzhong had already left, and the room was silent for a long time, Gu Can said hoarsely: "Help close the door, I want to retreat."

Han Qiaose remembers very clearly that that day, Gu Can, who had failed the retreat, successfully exited the retreat in less than a stick of incense.

----

In the world of Qingming, Mizhou, the boundary of the vast plain stretching as far as the eye can see, stands a single Runyue Peak.

There is a man who lives on the top of the peak, and he has been looking at the blue sky here since he was young.

Because the Runyue Peak was so towering into the clouds, the weak water at the foot of the mountain meandered like a little snake in his eyes.

Wu Fu worked hard, and the latest ten people in the world were at the bottom. Although it was the bottom, there was a clear distance from those candidates.

The mountain, which has always been clean, has rarely been so lively recently. It is so lively that there has been no emotional ups and downs, and I feel a little annoyed.

The first Qi trainer to climb the mountain was a guy named Lu Tai, who led a native dog who came along from some country road, named him Lu Chen, and nicknamed him Liu'er.

The woman who climbed the mountain with Lu Tai is called Yuan Ying. She is very young, but her identity is not simple. If it weren't for the fact that there was a young girl's age in Zhuhai Dongtian, then the ten young candidates who counted the world, she was The youngest one.

On a mountain top, the restriction is the true meaning of the hard work of the martial artist.

Moreover, this fist intent matches the day and night changes of the sun and the moon. During the day, the fist is masculine and vigorous, and when the moonlight is like water splashing on the ground, it becomes feminine and delicate.

Generally speaking, only ascension monks and end martial arts can climb the mountain.

Of course, there are exceptions, probably due to painstaking efforts. In recent years, there are a few people who are not high-level, but still sneaked up the mountain. Of course, it has something to do with their hard work and unwillingness to hurt innocent people.

For the living beings in the world, Wufu worked hard to have an inexplicable intimacy.Except people, especially monks.

Toiled to live alone in this thatched hut, this unkempt young warrior, thin, bearded, sloppy, he didn't know where he came from, and he didn't know where he was going.

When I was young, I seemed to be enlightened to remember things. All the previous memories were blank. I walked on the Mizhou Plain ignorantly. Just because I could see the high mountain when I looked up, I felt close to each other, so I walked all the way to Ruoshui. I didn't feel tired at all. The child didn't realize his strangeness until a long time later. It turned out that not everyone can breathe and refine Qi. Just walking on foot can make fists go up on their own, growing continuously, as if there is no end.

The only hobby I usually have is ink making. This process does not delay the hard work of boxing.

Before, under the eyes of hard work, young men and women who are like gods and Taoists, took a dog to climb the mountain.

Hard work didn't pay attention to this at first, no matter what the fairy family's methods are, since being able to go up the mountain is a skill, as long as you don't stay too long at Runyue Peak, hard work generally doesn't care.

He just glanced at the handsome man in fluttering white clothes, as if he was in a state of wandering away from his body.

As for the young female cultivator on the side who doesn't look as good-looking as a man, it can be seen that she has good qualifications. According to Lu Chen, there is always a small group of heaven's favored ones. Others climb mountains, and they are "I come to me from the mountains" .

The ancient pine forests in the mountains are verdant and green. Walking on the road, the clothes of visitors are all green.

Yuan Ying was amazed, "Wow, the scenery is beautiful, it's beautiful, it's really beautiful."

Lu Tai held Lu Chen in one hand and a green bamboo stick in the other, jokingly said, "You are the only direct descendant taught by Liu Qi Cao's group. When you see the scenery, you can only wow?"

Yuan Ying smiled and said: "You are here, it's not my turn to drag the text."

She is only in her 20s now.Born in the Blessed Land of Ci Pai, also known as "Shi Yu Blessed Land", Yuan Ying has two masters, Liu Qi and Cao Zu, both of them are Haoran monks who came to visit Qingming Tianxia, ​​and the masters have already returned to their hometowns.Although Yuan Ying is in the Jade Raw Realm, she is not a Taoist official.When she was on the list, she had not yet reached her twenties, and she climbed from the Willow Tendon Realm to the Jade Raw Realm in one step.

With Lu Tai, a few years ago, they jointly opened a restaurant near the ferry fish market in a market. Yuan Ying has always regarded herself as the proprietress, and anyone who calls her proprietress will get a [-]% discount!If anyone asks when she will have a wedding, [-]% off!

They just wandered all the way to the top of Runyue Peak. At that time, they were working hard to make pine smoke ink in a thatched hut. Lu Tai held a green bamboo stick in his arms and leaned against the door, just laughing and not talking.

Yuan Ying's personality was unrestrained, and she went straight to the pile of rocks near the cliff. One of the strange stones floated on top of it. The four characters "Yanshou Daochang" were engraved on the cliff with red lacquer. place", Yuan Ying pointed her toes, she floated towards this stepping stone, and jumped on it a few times, she laughed to herself.

Lu Tai smiled and said: "Let me introduce myself, the Lu family from the middle land of Haoran Tianxia. His surname is Lu Mingtai. His realm is very low, but he is very funny, and his ability to relieve boredom is second to none in the world."

The native dog lay obediently at Lu Tai's feet.

The young people in the house just sat behind the table and concentrated on making ink.

Lu Tai took out an ink ingot from his sleeve and gently threw it on the table, "The ancient pine from Qianyang County, Zhongnan Mountain is better than your ancient pine from Runyue Peak. It was agreed in advance that it is not a gift. After reading it, remember Pay me back."

The young man glanced at Mo Ding, nodded and said, "It's really good, and its reputation is well-deserved."

Lu Tai laughed and said: "You can accept it when you see it. If you have a high level, I will treat it as a rent payment to you, a landlord."

The young man shook his head, just concentrating on repeatedly smashing the smoke balls.

Lu Tai asked: "On the mountain, besides the self-brewed Songhua wine, is there anything to eat?"

Judging by the posture, it can only be pine nuts, sweet potatoes and poria cocos. Is the taste too bland?

Hard to keep silent.

Lu Tai glanced at an old bamboo flute placed on the table, and asked casually, "Still can't beat that Master Lin?"

The hard work fell on deaf ears, and the only sound in the dimly lit room was the beating of the pestle.

Lu Tai raised his foot and gently moved the dirt dog, "Lu Chen, don't be in a daze, hurry up and say hello to Brother Hardworking."

The earth dog made a muffled sound.The food on the mountain was a bit poor, and I was a little listless.

He raised his head hard, puzzled.

You, a descendant of the Lu family, are you competing with your ancestors.

After that, Lu Tai stayed on with a shameless face. The hard work was not without hesitation. Good words were useless. The dog was thrown to the foot of the mountain together, but Lu Tai and the others climbed the mountain again. They tried hard to teach a lesson, but the guy fell on his back and lay on the ground pretending to be dead until the middle of winter. I asked him what he wanted to do, and Lu Tai said to wait for someone.Hard work asked how long it would take to wait, Lu Tai said at most one month, and hard work stopped talking.

As a result, a month has passed, and still haven't waited for the so-called person from Lutai.

Hard work wondered if this guy was making up some nonsense, so that he could eat and drink here, but Lu Tai raised his arm and put his fingers together, "I swear to God, if there is a fake, from the ancestors to my generation, everyone will suffer. Lightning strikes, thunder strikes five times in the sky!"

The female cultivator named Yuan Ying was still booing beside her, saying rumble.

If you have worked so hard, I will let you stay for another half a month, and if you can’t wait any longer, go down the mountain. Don’t even think about climbing the mountain in the future, believe it or not.

The little chicken from Lutai pecked at the rice, agreed very readily, then sat on the threshold, and said earnestly: "Brother Hard Work, you, Runyue Peak, really can't continue like this, one by one, relying on their status to frighten people with high realms, when this is As for the brothel, you can leave as soon as you say it, and go whoring for nothing!"

I took a hard look at this bastard, what about you?

Lu Tai resolutely said: "I won't leave!"

Lifting his foot, Lu Chong stomped heavily, "Take root on the ground, don't move your nest anymore."

The hard work in the room said indifferently: "Then you should go whoring for nothing."

Lu Tai clapped his hands, "I just said that Brother Harding and I are just as wonderful people. It's a pity not to ask for help after we hit it off so well."

Hard work said: "It's only one day away, if you can't wait for anyone, don't blame me for being rude."

Lu Tai nodded and went to burn incense.

I don't know if it was a mistake or something, but someone really climbed the mountain the next day, and more than one.

It was hard to get out of the thatched hut, and stood side by side with Lu Tai on the edge of the cliff, looking towards the foot of the mountain.

Yuan Ying squatted not far away, playing with the dog.

There were three people who went up the mountain. Lu Tai smiled and helped to introduce: "Zhang Fenghai of Yushu City in Baiyujing is only half a step away from the fourteenth realm. When the heavy rain comes, he will probably have crossed the remaining half a step. It's amazing. Right. Walking behind Zhang Fenghai's buttocks is Lu Bixia, one of the world's candidates for Sanxian. You can call it Nie Bixia, and she is almost at the peak of the Ascension Realm. The person with the lowest realm, walking side by side with Zhang Fenghai, is a woman from the Immortal Staff Sect Patriarch Shi Xingyuan, Taoist name 'Sheyun'... Wow, what a beauty."

Yuan Ying immediately stood up and ran to Lu Tai's side, "Where is it?"

Lu Tai stretched out his finger and pointed to a woman next to Zhang Fenghai on the mountain road. She was slender, but she was dressed in wooden hairpins and linen straw sandals.And because she worked all the year round in the Yanxia Cave of Zhenyue Palace, her skin was dark. To say she was a beauty, she did have something to do with it, but when she said it from the extremely handsome Lu Tai, it seemed a bit misleading.

Shi Xingyuan is the lowest level among the three, so he cannot know the conversation on the other side of the mountain.

Lu Bixia raised her head and raised her eyes, but the indistinguishable guy ran away.

She had disappeared in Qingming Tianxia for a long time, and she lived or hid in the soul of "Shi Xingyuan" for a long time.

As for Shi Xingyuan, it was the Yanxia Cave that he entered in a different way.

Leaving that prison, Shi Xingyuan naturally rejoiced secretly, she never wanted to go back to the old place in her life.

In that Yanxia Cave, Shi Xingyuan's Immortal Realm has been worn down to the Jade Raw Realm little by little.

The only regret is that the harvest of that gratifying wheat field is [-]% better than in previous years, so we will never see it again.

Lu Tai squatted on the ground, rubbed the dog's head, looked up and smiled, "Brother Hard Work, why don't we make a bet?"

Shaking his head hard.

Lu Tai is a chatterbox, even if he doesn't talk to him, he can go on and on. After getting along for so long, I still can't get used to it.

Lu Tai changed his method and made a bet with that Zhang Fenghai, betting that he would be able to achieve what he wanted, and after that, he had to promise Lu Tai a small matter.

Zhang Fenghai agreed without hesitation.The cultivator who voluntarily abandoned Bai Yujing's status as a Daoist official didn't even ask who the other party was or what the trivial matter was.

Lu Tai was deeply moved, "As expected of our Sovereign Zhang, he is majestic and majestic. If you hang out with him, you will definitely have a good meal!"

Afterwards, Zhang Fenghai went to the top of the mountain, first knocked down a piece of rock at the "resting place of the Taoist ancestor" at the foot of the mountain, rolled it into the weak water, and then went to the house to talk about things.

Not to mention Shi Xingyuan, even Lu Bixia who had seen the turmoil and Yuan Ying who had always been big-hearted, were all taken aback.

Only Lu Tai's frightened appearance was fake, and he stretched out his thumb towards Zhang Fenghai's back, "Sect Master Zhang, you are extremely domineering!"

Sitting hard behind the table, on the table in front of him was a row of formed [-] ink ingots, Zhang Fenghai folded his arms around his chest, leaned against the door, and said, "I plan to use Runyue Peak as the location of the sect, what do you think? "

Hard work frowned, "Let's talk about this after you reach the fourteenth realm."

Zhang Fenghai said: "You don't need to be the suzerain, you are not suitable, and it is not good to be, so you just need to put your name on the clan genealogy, and I will be the suzerain."

Stand up hard.

Zhang Fenghai said with a smile: "

Don't be angry, after the Taoist disperses, there will be a change in the world of Qingming, you can't avoid it, it is better to fight for the first than to wait. "

Asked hard: "Did you make an appointment with Lu Tai in advance?"

Zhang Fenghai shook his head and said, "See you later."

Lu Tai opened his voice and echoed: "The world can learn from it!"

Hard work sneered and said: "If I remember correctly, the Taoist ancestor said that I have three treasures to hold and treasure. I am frugal in kindness, and I dare not be the first in the world."

Zhang Fenghai was silent for a moment, "Your mind is a bit out of order."

Lu Tai jumped and said angrily: "Sect Master Zhang, you are presumptuous, don't say that about my hardworking brother!"

Zhang Fenghai said with a smile: "But your temper is really good, you can bear him for so long."

Lu Tai lay on the window sill and explained: "What our Sect Master Zhang means is not complicated. It means that he has left Baiyujing, and he doesn't even want the Daoist certificate of Yushu City. Whether he is a Taoist priest or not is a matter of discussion. Then there is the golden rule said by Taoist ancestors, put it in the Qingming world, everyone is applicable, you have to listen, and you have to endure it if you are not convinced. , It's you alone, it just so happens to be you, that's why I came here, Sect Master Zhang is for the same reason, but my selfishness is more serious, I just want to have a luxurious hospitality place, so that I can reunite with my friends in the future and save face. Sect Master Zhang is very... fair, he wants to replace Daozu, and make certain things that he thinks are wrong one by one get on the right track."

Lu Bixia took a deep breath.

Shi Xingyuan was even more unstable.

If that guy didn't tell the truth, they actually didn't know what Zhang Fenghai wanted to do.

On the top of the mountain, there are only pine waves bursting like tides.

It was that guy who broke the silence, "Sect Master Zhang, after all, it is the resting place of Taoist ancestors, let's move that rock back to its original position. If you feel ashamed, I can ask Sister Lu to go to Ruo Shui to fish for rocks together."

Hearing these nonsense words, Lu Bixia, Shi Xingyuan, and Yuan Ying were almost relieved at the same time.

Worked hard and said, "We'll talk about this after you reach the fourteenth realm."

Zhang Fenghai nodded and said, "Yes."

In fact, it is the same sentence with two meanings.

Earlier it was said that we would fight again when Zhang Fenghai reached the fourteenth realm.

The meaning of working hard now is that if you can reach the fourteenth realm, you are eligible to start a sect here on the Runyue Peak.

Lu Tai rubbed his hands together and said, "Okay, it's good that we've reached an agreement, we have to celebrate, why don't we kill dogs and eat meat, stewed dog meat in winter, that taste..."

Yuan Ying disagreed with Lu Tai for the first time, and stared, "Lu Tai!"

Lu Tai smiled brightly and said: "Just to see you all so bored, let me make a joke, relieve the boredom, and see that you are nervous."

After that, the two groups of people stayed here.

With Lutai here, the two sides quickly became acquainted.

Probably except for Bai Yujing, the world is here for the last month.

In the night of that day, Lu Tai worked hard, and everyone chose a stone at random to sit on it, and drank each other. Under Lu Tai's leadership, they began to look forward to the future.

Inexplicably, the six people gathered together, in order of priority, worked hard.Lu Tai, Yuan Ying.Zhang Fenghai.Lu Bixia, teacher Xingyuan.

There is a mountain with no sect name yet, a pure martial artist, and five Qi practitioners.

According to Lu Tai's vision, the suzerain must be Zhang Fenghai, Lu Bixia, the patriarch of the law, and the teacher Xingyuan who is in charge of money.

The chief enshrinement should have been hard work.But the second person in martial arts in Qingming Tianxia directly refused.

So Lu Chen recommended himself and did his part.Yuan Ying took advantage of the situation and became the second seat enshrinement.

"There are ten people in our sect, that's enough. Any more would be waste. Senior sister, why are you staring at me, and you didn't mention you."

Shi Xingyuan said helplessly: "I didn't even look at you, what nonsense."

She really didn't think Lu Tai said anything ugly.

"That's why I misunderstood Senior Sister."

Lu Tai snorted, "Our sect will have the most people in the future, with a total of eleven people. Then every hundred years, one person will be eliminated and one will be added."

"If you become one of the top ten people in the world and the top ten candidates, you can stay still. Becoming a pure martial artist in the top ten people in the world is also given the same treatment."

"One day, our sect will be the best of the best. Don't just stand still, give us some applause."

Zhang Fenghai just raised the flagon high.

Lu Bixia smiled, so I am really looking forward to it.

Shi Xingyuan raised his head and looked at the two bright moons in the sky, his spirit was radiant, it seemed that he had to practice hard.

Only Yuan Ying applauded vigorously.

As a result, Lu Tai said something quite unsightly, "Sister, such a bright moonlit night makes your skin darker."

Shi Xing Yuanqi laughed and said: "You always have trouble with me, you only know how to pick up soft persimmons, if you have the ability to speak of Lu Bixia!"

Lu Tai shyly said: "This statement is a bit charming, and it is easy to be misunderstood."

Shi Xingyuan sneered and said, "You can only talk about flamboyance."

Lu Bixia nodded and said: "You look stern, I don't think I have to work hard, so I have to say 'let me rest for a while'."

Lu Tai clasped his hands together, "I'm afraid of you, I admit defeat."

Zhang Fenghai laughed out loud.

With a sullen face and a smile in his eyes.

Lu Tai raised his head and took a sip of wine, wiped his mouth, "The ancient sages are the substitutes of heaven and earth. Today's heroes are the manifestation of the stars. I am honored to have a drink with you tonight. Not enough, far from enough. We meet on this day, this month, this day after a thousand years Drink again, I'll get drunk first!"

slam.

It turned out that Lu Tai fell asleep on his back.

Yuan Ying said embarrassingly: "My husband, the wine taste is very good, but the capacity for alcohol is average."

----

On the top of the city of Dali, next to an old man who was enjoying the scenery, Xun Qu, who came here with a confused head, stopped, cupped his hands and said, "Xun Qu, I have seen Mr. Hong."

The handsome old man nodded his head and said with a smile, "I called you here temporarily today because someone has just entered Beijing, and it would be more appropriate for you to show up to receive him."

The old man didn't wear an official uniform. In fact, apart from attending court meetings, this fifth-rank official, the priest of the Ministry of Rites and the Chief Official Langzhong, didn't need to be so restrained.

This is a special case of the Dali officialdom. There are only three officials in the capital, and they are the most in line with the reputation of being clean and noble. In addition to the Ministry of Officials' Examination Division and the Military Selection Division of the Ministry of War, it is the Ritual Temple for the elderly. In name, the two servants of the Ministry of Rites can jointly determine the merits and demerits of the various gods of the Dali Dynasty. It is called "Little Heavenly Official".

Xun Qu asked in his heart: "Master, is this person related to Mr. Chen?"

The old man nodded and pointed to a young monk from other places walking on the street, "His name is Zeng Ye, and he does not belong to Luoposhan monk, but when Chen Pingan was in Shujian Lake, he always took Zeng Ye with him. The neighbor next door to the island, relying on luck and his own hard work, Zeng Ye is now the head of the Wudao faction, at least the top spot in a fairy mansion, so his route to Beijing this time, and the spy information from the Ministry of Justice, have long been So I sent it to our shrine priest and clearing officials. Because he has such a relationship with Chen Pingan, I think you should come forward. The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment didn't say much. There are not many objections. Once or twice, Think of it as forming a default statute for each yamen, which is pretty good."

Xun Qu said with a smile: "There are not many objections, but there are still objections."

The old man twitched the corners of his mouth, "Every government office is following the rules, it's nothing, no one has any selfishness."

Wu Yuan is now the governor of Chuzhou. He is not only the son-in-law of the Yuan family of Shangzhu Kingdom, but also one of the few students of the national teacher Cui Chan.

The new supervisor of kiln affairs who took over Cao Gengxin's position, Jian Feng, is fourth rank.Jing Kuan, the former Qing official of the Ministry of household affairs, left Beijing to serve as the prefect of Baoxi County some time ago.

And so on, there are quarrels and quarrels between the court and the yamen, and the Shanshui officialdom is no exception.

Xun Qu asked: "Master, shall I go see Master Zeng?"

The old man said: "Irritated! Don't you know how to wait a little longer? He just entered the capital with the front foot, and you went to block the road with the back foot. Isn't this telling Zeng Ye that the court is watching his whereabouts?"

Xun Qu smiled and said: "I said that on purpose. I haven't heard the teacher's teaching for a long time."

The old man couldn't help laughing. Not long ago, Xun Qu was just a small official of Honglu Temple who was temporarily in charge of temple repairs in the capital at Nanxunfang.

In the capital of Dali, they are not called officials.

Now Xun Qu has been transferred to the Department of Arms of the Ministry of War and has been promoted. However, this promotion is not without warning. In addition to the official affairs of the office, and the fact that Chen Shanzhu of the Lost Mountain came to Beijing, he was followed by Xun Qu, so he just went up one step and became the ninth grade without any disturbance.

That's why Xunqu's preacher, when the old man was drinking with his disciples at the Changpu River, would joke that Lord Chen Shan was still unjust, and he didn't know how to say hello to the officials, so he should have skipped three levels in a row. Otherwise, I will be sorry for the official authority of Mr. Yinguan.All joking aside, in the eyes of this old man who has been in charge of the Ministry of Rites, the Temple and the Qing Dynasty for many years, Xun Qu, a young man, is destined to be constantly transferred between the various ministries and government offices of the imperial court. Starting with Honglu Temple, In the future, each position will not last long, ranging from three to five years to one or two years.

Of course, the official position will be higher and higher.

This involves an inside story that Xun Qu has not been aware of until now. In fact, it is a "promotion map" arranged by the national teacher Cui Chan long ago.

Xun Qu's intuition is not wrong, Cui Guoshi, who likes to see many "little things" in person, not only knows him, but also keeps staring at him.

Xun Qu once said unintentionally that he is a "poor ghost who can't keep money", which is right in his words.

He is the reincarnation of the gods.

Therefore, the Dali court will always "send the poor ghosts".That's why Xun Qu, who was born as a second-class Jinshi, stayed so long in the famous Qingshui Yamen at Honglu Temple.

The old man once asked Cui Guoshi personally, is it really useful?Cui Chen replied with a smile, it must be useful. Although it is not very useful, it is still considerable after a long time.

Xun Qu bowed his hands and said goodbye, but the old man still nodded his head.

On the street, Zeng Ye slung his bag on his shoulders and walked alone, admiring the bustling scene of Dali Capital.

Zeng Ye talked badly, so Ma Duyi didn't go to Beijing with him.

Ma Duyi began to look for all kinds of reasons that were not reasons. After all, the head of Zeng was a ghost cultivator, and he was not welcome on the mountain. You are going to the most benevolent place in the country of the Dali Dynasty, without her help. , as you are so clumsy and clumsy, you can't explain things clearly, and trivial things can easily become big things... Zeng Ye can't laugh or cry, first of all, Wudao Sect is an official sect recognized by the Dali court and recorded by the Ministry of Rites , Furthermore, Zeng Ye also has a Peace and Peace card, although it is the lowest grade, but it has a high gold content, it is really the kind that can be peaceful in this Aquarius Continent, and everything will be fine.

Ma Duyi also knew that she was making trouble out of no reason. Seeing that Zeng Ye was extremely persistent, she had no choice but to give in and let Zeng Ye visit the Liulifang in the capital more, and help her buy some books and antiques that would double in value if she resold them.

Zeng Ye slowed down his pace a little, and soon returned to his normal pace.

In front of the road, there appeared a young man with a jade tree facing the wind. He was probably a Beijing official. Zeng Ye could tell at a glance whether he was an official or not, but this young official had a more bookish air.

Xun Qu cupped his hands and said softly: "Master Zeng, my name is Xun Qu, and I work in the Armory Department of the Ministry of War. I just got the news and left the government office to come to see you."

Zeng Ye was confused, and bowed his hands to return the salute, because he didn't know the specific official position of the other party, so he didn't say much about the scene.

Pedestrians hurried on the road, Xun Qu and Zeng Ye turned sideways to make way almost at the same time.

In order to prevent the other party from misunderstanding and thinking too much, Xun Qu explained the reason to Zeng Ye straightforwardly, and used words that revealed his identity as a Qi practitioner, "I was working in Honglu Temple before, because I was with Mr. Chen's student Cao Qinglang. , it was the same year as the imperial examination, and we are even friends, so the last time Mr. Chen came to Beijing, Honglu Temple asked me to take care of the reception. This is an expensive rare book. The imperial court has long known about the relationship between the Five Islands faction and Mr. Chen, so you appeared in the capital this time. After considering it, the Honglu Temple decided to let me be in charge of the reception. It belongs to the officialdom Seconded from other departments, working as a coolie, without wages."

After all, Xun Qu didn't tell the truth when it involved some unknown insiders in the officialdom.

Zeng Ye cupped his hands again and thanked, "Master Lao Xun is here."

Afterwards, the two walked together, Zeng Ye, the head of one faction, and Master Xun, Xun Qu couldn't help laughing and said: "Master Zeng, you don't have to be so polite, just call me by my name, it's really not possible, brother Xun Row."

Zeng Ye laughed and said, "Master Xun also always calls me Zeng Sect Leader."

Xun Qu nodded and said, "Then let's all change our mouths and call him by his first name."

Zeng Ye grinned, "It's a good feeling."

Xun Qu asked: "When you arrive in the capital, is there any place you want to go?"

Zeng Ye nodded and said: "Before coming here, I made a list of twenty places, and I have to take a good look around."

Xun Qu said: "Do you have relatives and friends and a place to stay? If you don't have one for the time being, I can help arrange accommodation. The official residence of Honglu Temple is definitely not simple, but if you want to say how good it is, there must be no. The advantage is that It doesn’t cost money, I can lead the way to the famous big inns in the capital, and there are nearby ones, but with my little salary, I definitely dare not go to Haikou, saying that it includes food and lodging.”

Zeng Ye smiled and said: "No, no, Mr. Chen helped to recommend a place, which is a Xianjia inn in the capital. I know the exact address and plan to live there."

Mr. Chen said in the letter that the shopkeeper of that inn was called Gaiyan, and he could live there without spending any money.

In addition, Mr. Chen also asked Zeng Ye to go to a street. At the entrance of an alley outside the Renyun Yiyun Building, he registered his own number, and he could meet an old immortal named Liu Jia and a man from the Zhao family in Tianshui. Boy, you can also let the latter take Zeng Ye to travel around the capital together.Mr. Chen has always been meticulous in his work. How to get from the inn to the alley is clearly written in the letter.

Zeng Ye hesitated for a moment, he didn't know the importance of officialdom, and he also knew that people came here with good intentions, if they let them go back home, it would be against the rules.

I never thought that Xun Qu nodded and said: "Since Mr. Chen has already made arrangements, then I will not worry about it. Anyway, if you have something to do, go to the Arsenal Department to find me."

Xun Qu took out a pocket sword case with the word "Heaven" engraved in the seal from his sleeve, and handed it to Zeng Ye. Xun Qu himself had a case with the word "Earth" in his possession, so that the two sides could fly swords to pass messages.

It came in handy again.

Xun Qu stopped, and said with a smile: "I won't follow, I'll take a chance to sneak in some leisure time, so I'll go to Liulifang to read books. If I don't buy books, it's annoying, and I have to change bookstores frequently."

Zeng Ye tentatively said, "Could I make an appointment with you later to go to Liulifang together? A friend asked me to help buy books. I don't know how to do it. I guess I'll just be cheated of money."

Xun Qu nodded and said, "It's all official business."

Zeng Ye grinned, this Mr. Xun, who works in the Ministry of War, is somewhat similar to Mr. Chen, of course it's just a similarity, there is only one Mr. Chen in the world.

Xun Qu said in a heartfelt voice, "How do you calculate the travel expenses?"

Zeng Ye was taken aback, after all, he had been under the influence of Mr. Chen for a long time, and immediately said: "At least three books that Mr. Xun likes but can't bring back!"

Xun Qu smiled and said goodbye.

Zeng Ye bowed his hands and said goodbye.

Looking at Xun Qu's back, he felt more like Mr. Chen.

Later, Zeng Ye found the Xianjia Inn. If Mr. Chen had not written in detail in his letter, he might not have been able to find it. When he knocked on the door, there were two young female cultivators who were in charge of receiving guests. Passing Yingbi, there are two more, they are very enthusiastic, their appearances are naturally handsome, Yingyingyanyan, like a pile of makeup, warm words, one mouthful of a young master, a fairy teacher, but Zeng Ye felt a little uncomfortable , hesitated for a while, did not say that he was Mr. Chen's friend, and did not ask the innkeeper if "Gaiyan" was there, Zeng Ye paid a deposit honestly, and even if he stayed.

After Zeng Tuck entered the guest room.

Gaiyan is in her room, with her legs crossed, looking through the ledger, thinking about it, it's not bad, business is booming.

Mr. Yinguan really has a few tips for doing business, but he just helped to provide a few ideas, and the business of the inn immediately improved.

Zeng Yi put the bag away, thought about it, put it on again, left the inn, and went to find that alley.

In the alley outside Renyun Yiyun Building, two masters and apprentices, Liu Jia and Zhao Duanming, are a little idle, and they are in the snail shell dojo. One drinks and the other eats salted peanuts.

The old man was a little regretful, since that Chen Ping'an left the capital, the alley in his house has not been so lively.

It was Wen Sheng who first came here in person, but neither the teacher nor the apprentice recognized it. After all, there is a big discrepancy with the image on the hanging statue of the Confucian Temple.

Later... Li Sheng also came!

Thanks to Zhao Duanming's eyesight, probably because he has been struck by lightning too many times, and with his cleverness, the old Yuanying didn't lose his manners.

After that, some characters came one after another, some old people dare not even dream of, some are unknown faces.

For example, at the entrance of the alley, Li Xisheng, who claimed to be from Huaihuang County, Longzhou, came from the same town as Chen Pingan, so what?bar.

Before that, there was a burly old Taoist priest, and beside him was a small follower, a boy who looked like a boy.

These two Taoist priests, who look like masters and apprentices, are sneaking into the alley, can Liu Jia not stop them?It must be stopped.

And of course that Mr. Zheng from Baidi City.

Fortunately, the old monk has seen a series of "big winds and waves". His realm is not high, but he has succeeded in cultivating his mind. A Nascent Soul Dao Heart has been honed to be as firm as a rock!

After Zheng Juzhong left, the old and the young, the master and the apprentice looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

At that time, the old man said, "Duanming, you seem a little nervous. When you address Mr. Zheng, your teeth seem to chatter?"

The boy didn't refute anything, just pointed to the old man's forehead, "Master, hurry up and wipe off your sweat, it's raining."

Today, the old man picked up a salted peanut and threw it into his mouth, and said, "Duanming, do the math, and there are no important figures who have come to our place to order."

The young man squatted on the ground, and said in a bad mood: "Master, you are still a little bit, you have been a little bloated recently, restrain yourself."

The old man took a sip of his wine and snorted, "Someone is here. Duanming, keep your eyes wide open. Is it some great mountain-top man?"

Zhao Duanming turned his head and saw that it was a young monk who was full of travel and dust. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. Anyway, none of the statues in the Confucian Temple and the Martial Temple are worthy of the title."

The old man let out a groan, and when the boy lowered his head and reached out to grab the salted peanuts, there was not a single one left.

Standing at the entrance of the alley, Zeng Ye clasped his hands and said, "Zeng Ye of the Five Islands School, once followed Mr. Chen for a while, Mr. Chen asked me to come here to find Master Liu and Master Zhao Xiaoxian."

When Liu Jia heard this, he was in a good mood. Chen Ping'an was a good guy, and he knew that he could cover himself in the capital, so he asked his friends to come here to say hello.

Unlocking the dojo's restriction, Liu Jia stood up, cupped his hands in return, and said with a smile, "Little brother, come in and chat."

Zeng Ye stepped into this white jade ashram, and according to Mr. Chen's explanation in the letter, he told the old immortal master about his plan for this trip to the capital.

Zhao Duanming was very happy, and suggested that Zeng Ye came here, and that Yichi Lane and Chier Street, which are not on the list, can be visited together. Although it is not interesting, it is even more boring not to go there.

Liu Jia stroked his beard and asked with a smile, "Zeng Ye, where do you plan to live?"

Zeng Ye said it was the Xianjia Inn.

Liu Jia asked suspiciously: "If you're so rich, why did you go there to spend? Now the capital is talking about that place, which only kills pigs from monks from other places. You have to take it easy by changing ways to make money."

Zhao Duanming nodded vigorously, "Brother Zeng, it's true. I heard that there used to be a bleak scene where there were few people there, but now for some reason, it's terrible, killing pigs to death."

Zeng Ye didn't know how to answer for a while.

Liu Jia said: "It's strange. The last time Chen Pingan came to the capital, he didn't live there himself. How did he trick you into spending money there? Could it be that there is a bonus?"

Zhao Duanming whispered: "It's not possible, brother Chen is a brilliant scholar."

Zeng Ye quickly changed the subject and asked, "Master Liu, may I ask where Mr. Chen lived last time?"

Liu Jia raised his chin, "It's just a few steps away from here. The Shijing Inn is a bit shabby, but it doesn't cost much. I think Chen Ping'an is very used to living there."

Zhao Duanming smiled and said, "I heard from Shopkeeper Liu that Big Brother Chen even bought a piece of porcelain from him."

Zeng Ye became more and more curious, thought for a while, and said, "I'll go over there and have a look."

Liu Jia nodded and said: "When you get here, you can do whatever you want. Duan Ming looks stupid, but he is not a bad person, just remember to walk with him on the road, be careful, especially when it rains and thunders, try to stay away from this child farther away."

Zhao Duanming said angrily: "Master, you are the one who bury disciples like this?! When was struck by lightning and accidentally injured others, ah?!"

Liu Jia nodded, "That's right."

Zeng Ye was at a loss, but still cupped his fists and left.

When Zeng Ye left the dojo, Zhao Duanming slapped his head and remembered something, "I almost forgot, I promised to find a book for that girl, worry! Let alone the capital, booksellers around the world have long since stopped engraving such a book. This travel note, tell me where can I find it, Cao Gengxin, that bastard, said yes, he will help me find it, but there is no news so far, and he is also unreliable..."

Zeng Ye quickly found the inn. The old shopkeeper was cleaning the counter with a feather duster.

The shopkeeper surnamed Liu saw the young man at the door, and asked with a smile: "Guest officer, do you want to stay in the shop?"

Zeng Ye had already carefully looked at the front hall of the inn. Except for the porcelain on the counter, there seemed to be nothing unusual. Mr. Chen stayed here before, probably because it was away from the alley. Zeng Ye smiled and said: "It's just pass by."

The old shopkeeper nodded and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

Since the door is open for business, whoever comes is a guest and whoever goes is also a guest.

On the other side of the alley, a guy with a gourd of oil and wine hanging on his waist leaned against the wall of the alley, raised his hand, shaking an old book, and said with a smile: "Zhao Duanming, come here and kowtow to Brother Cao."

Zhao Duanming snatched the book, "Thank you so much, it took so long to settle such a trivial matter, how can you be a servant...Your uncle!"

It turned out that the boy was right when he found that the book only had the cover, and it was a book of sages inside.

Cao Gengxin hiccupped and put his hand on the boy's head, "Okay, I happened to meet on the road, and the book has already been given to Miss Liu."

Zhao Duanming was skeptical, "Really?!"

Cao Gengxin patted the young man on the head, "While playing in the mud, I have a serious matter to talk to your master."

Zhao Duanming staggered, thinking about it, thinking that if Cao Gengxin was not a man, he would not be able to make fun of himself like this. Then the young man saw the bastard who said he wanted to talk about business, and started to hook up with his master and drink wine up.

Zeng Ye apologized slightly and walked out of the inn.

Now that the money has been spent, Zeng Ye still plans to live in the Xianjia Inn.

On the street, a young girl was walking happily, but she was reading a book while walking.

Haha, finally got it!I have been thinking about books for so long.

Although I have actually read the content of this landscape travel note, but if there is no book, can it be the same?

I used to go to the bookstore with my friends to read a few pages today and a few pages tomorrow, which is boring!

The girl who was away from home all day was worried that if she entered the shop, she would have to be reprimanded by her father, and she might even be served by a feather duster, so she simply squatted at the base of the wall, flipping through the books.

The girl stretched out a hand to block the sun, so as not to be too dazzling when reading a book.

She was fascinated, and read many pages in one breath. She finally realized that something was wrong. It seemed that there was no sun. She rubbed her eyes and looked up, only to find a strange man standing nearby.

It seemed that his shadow just blocked part of the light, but it didn't prevent her from reading a book in the sunlight.

In fact, most of her thoughts were still immersed in the landscape story in that novel, so when she raised her head, she was still a little dazed.

If it was before, she probably would have met Deng Tuzi at her first thought. It's just that after meeting the customer of her own shop named Chen last time, she felt that it was not good to misunderstand others like this.

When girls are reading books, they like to mutter and talk to themselves, and they will say that Chen Ping'an in the book is too romantic, how can she like every girl she sees?

But girls like to skip the pages of books. Anyway, the content and plots are already familiar to them, so they will choose those passages with deep memories, which may be some beautiful sentences, such as the sentence in the book. Fu, I went to study in this life... I saw it again today, since it is already my own book, the girl gently folded the pages of the book, or it may be some content that will make me sad when I look at it, such as Near the end of the story, the boy who practiced ghosts in the book never told his beloved girl that he actually liked her.

The girl blinked.

That strange man, for some reason, kept turning his head, looking across the street for a long time.

From Shujian Lake all the way to today, the former teenager who came here is now sullen and trying not to look at her.

Maybe it was because of his face full of tears, afraid of scaring her.Maybe it was because I didn't know how to speak, so I almost passed by.

The girl closed the book with a snap, and sighed, it's a pity that there is no sequel to this book.

Then she didn't even know that boy, did she find that beloved girl Su later?

She stood up and was about to go home on tiptoe, but hesitated for a while, the girl still had a low voice, and thanked that weird weirdo again.

The man raised his arm, probably to wipe his sweat, coughed a few times, turned his head to look at her, and the first thing he said was, "Dare to ask this girl, is there an inn nearby?"

The girl is stunned, what should I do, don't be a fool!

It's just a few steps away, can't you see the signboard of your own inn?

The girl sighed, raised her arms, and pointed to the plaque of her own inn with the book in her hand, "It's here."

Zeng Ye smiled brightly: "Okay, thank you."

The girl always felt that this matter was a bit mysterious. After thinking about it seriously, there is it!Not in a hurry to go home, she pretended to walk along the wall in the opposite direction of the inn.

Zeng Ye walked towards the inn, turned his head, and the girl happened to turn her head too.

Zeng Ye stopped and said hoarsely, "My name is Zeng Ye."

The girl blinked.

Is it the same name and surname as Zeng Ye in the book?

The girl hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked towards him, waved the book in her hand, and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, the inn is my home."

Zeng Ye nodded vigorously, "It's a coincidence."

In and out of the book, they are reunited after a long absence.
