Sword comes

Chapter 424 Going to the Sea of ​​Clouds

At dawn, Chen Pingan and his party packed up their luggage and prepared to leave Ziyang Mansion.

The owner of the palace, Huang Chu, and the two old gods of the Longmen Realm saw them off in person, and they were sent to the bank of Tiequan River. The river god of Jixiang Temple had already prepared a ferry boat. Go ashore and continue to the border of Huang Tingguo.

Chen Pingan expressed his gratitude to Huang Chu, and Huang Chu took out a small red sandalwood box with a fresh woody fragrance, which was the style of Huang Tingguo's famous "Gan Terrace" copywriting, saying that it was a little heart from the ancestors.

Pei Qian kept a straight face, pretending that he didn't care.

Chen Ping hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the small box containing four treasures from the Treasure House, and said, "If Palace Master Huang passes through Longquan County in the future, he must go to Luopo Mountain as a guest."

Then Chen Pingan brought up the valuable box, and joked: "There is no such precious gift to give, and there is no old coveted wine from the Xuemangtang banquet. There are only some home-cooked dishes. I think that even if Palace Master Huang passes by Longquan County Wouldn't you like to say hello to me?"

Huang Chu smiled and said: "As long as I have the opportunity to go to Dali, even if I don't pass through Longquan County, I will find an opportunity to take a detour to bother Mr. Chen."

They talked very happily, and Huang Chu sent Chen Pingan and the others to the ferry. He originally planned to board the boat and take them to the Ferry of Tiequan River, but Chen Ping insisted not to do so, so Huang Chu gave up.

After boarding the boat, Chen Pingan stood at the bow of the boat, holding a sword gourd around his waist, filled with the spirit-filled Laojiao salivary wine, and the ferry slowly drove downstream. Chen Pingan clasped his fists towards the Purple Qi Palace.

On the top floor of the Zangbao Building, a tall female cultivator cast a blind eye, and it was Wu Yi, the True Lord of the Cave Spirit. After seeing this scene, she smiled, "It's easy to invite God, but it's not difficult to send God off."

She's in a pretty good mood.

Wu Yi has already reported to his father the details of the past two days' experience, using a flying sword to send a message to Piyun Mountain in Longquan County.

I believe that even if he is not rewarded, at least he will not be punished.

In Wu Yi's field of vision, the long-distance ferry boat gradually became smaller than a mustard seed.

Wu Yi's heartstrings suddenly tensed and he dared not move.

At some point, beside her, a gentle and elegant old man in Confucian shirts appeared. He broke through the landscape formation of Ziyang Mansion with ease, and quietly came to Wu Yi's side.

Wu Yi stabilized his mind and said softly, "The unfilial daughter has met her father."

The uninvited guest turned out to be the old servant of Huang Tingguo's household department in the past, and now the deputy mountain master of Linlu Academy in Piyun Mountain. During his long career, this old Jiao has used countless aliases.

The old man glanced at Wu Yi, gave him a smile for the first time, and said, "I have done three things with one stone for you, when did you become so smart?"

Wu Yi was apprehensive, always feeling that the father was being ironic, or that there was something in his words, and he was afraid that he would suffer disaster in the next moment, so he already had the idea of ​​fleeing far away.

The old man stretched out his palm on the railing, and said slowly: "Where is the ability of Yujiang Water God to harm Baihu Jiang Xiaoluan? His trip to Longquan County with great fanfare was just to drink with that little snake. A boy in Tsing Yi, who had a swollen face and a fat man, asked a friend for a Peace and Peace card. She has a low stature and seeks refuge with your Ziyang Mansion, but Xiao Luan is willing to give up her love affair with the Hong family. She is considered a smart person. She works for Ziyang Mansion, and she has a lot of benefits. You can also lie down and make money, mutual benefit, this It's one of them."

The old man spread out his palms, looked at it, and shook his head. Then he clasped his hands behind his back and continued: "Your method of currying favor with Chen Ping'an is very inferior and too blunt, especially at the banquet in Xuemangtang. Press Chen Pingan, but just like the wrong in and out of Go, it turns into a fairy hand, which makes Chen Ping's perception of you much better, because if you keep acting too thoughtful, Chen Pingan will only be more cautious, I have always been jealous and guarded against you and the Ziyang Mansion, and in the end I couldn't save the so-called Jianghu affection. The most wonderful thing is that your night rain, which was originally intended to cover Xiao Luan, created a Jiangshui righteous god Chunxin The sprouting illusion unexpectedly gave Chen Pingan a great opportunity. If I hadn't deliberately suppressed it, the vision of heaven and earth would have been much larger. Not only the Ziyang Mansion, but the entire Tiequan River, and even the ghosts and spirits of the Baihu River would all be born in their hearts. Sensation, rain and dew. Saint Leshan is more close to water and has a lot of knowledge. So what you did surprised my father, a big surprise. This is the second."

The old man turned his head and said with a smile: "Finally, it is the arrangement of Master Guoshi that you invite Chen Pingan to visit Ziyang Mansion this time. Cui Guoshi and I made it clear that it is nothing more than making Chen Pingan's journey back home slower. The national teacher's request will definitely not be told to an outsider like me. Of course, I don't want to know. If you mix it up, no matter whether you succeed or fail, you and I are destined to have no good fruit. This time you helped my father make it In this matter, being a father is tantamount to doing Cui Guoshi a little favor, Ziyang Mansion will definitely be rewarded by Dali in the future, you just wait for the good news."

It was great news, but Wu Yi couldn't help feeling cold all over her body. She killed her but never thought that her father would watch this farce from beginning to end.

The current Wu Yi facing Lao Jiao in the corridor of the high-rise building is probably Mrs. Xiao Luan facing Wu Yi in the small courtyard, with the same mentality.

Lao Jiao, whose clothes and appearance are no different from the great scholars in the world, once again spread his palms and frowned, "What kind of knowledge can be seen from this?"

Wu Yi quietly looked over.

I saw my father condensed the essence of water mist in the aura of heaven and earth with magical powers, and the palms of his hands were full of water droplets, as if they had just been picked from the lotus leaves after the rain. As a puddle of rain, my father stared at it for a long time, still puzzled, and it turned into raindrops again.In Wu Yi's mind, the father who is a pedantic man who is as good as a sage in a Confucian academy seems to hesitate a little, stretches out the other palm, and pours the water from the original palm into it. In an instant, Wu Yi sees a golden light in his father's palm. Flash, before Wu Yi could take a closer look, his father had already clenched his fist quickly, and Wu Yi could no longer see his father's palm.

The old man thought for a moment, then smiled and said to Wu Yi, "There's nothing to see."

Wu Yi naturally didn't dare to ask the bottom line.

The old man asked: "Do you know why there are all living beings in the world who are tirelessly pursuing human skin? The human body is so weak that even eating five grains for survival has become an obstacle to practice. That's why Qi practitioners pay attention to bigu, so as not to stink. The gods are chaotic, and the fetal energy is withered, making it impossible to return to the nascent soul. On the other hand, we, the genus of the dragon, are blessed by nature, not to mention the natural physique, and the wisdom is also no worse than humans. Why are you and I standing here in the form of humans?"

Wu Yi was a little puzzled and dared not open his mouth easily, because the orifice of a man's cave is a blessed place in the cave. This has long been the consensus of the monks on the mountain and all the ghosts and spirits, but his father will never talk nonsense to him, so what is the mystery?

The old man did not embarrass Wu Yi, the few remaining children in the world, "The beauty is only in one word, return."

The old man stretched out a finger and drew a circle in the air.

Wu Yi fell into deep thought.

The old man smiled and said: "You are still young and not deeply involved in the world, let alone the situation 3000 years ago, ten thousand years ago, if my father didn't tell you, where can you go to find the answer."

Wu Yi looked solemn, knowing that his father was teaching him the opportunity to prove the Tao

She has been stagnant in the Jindan realm for more than three hundred years. As a descendant of the genus of the dragon, she practiced that side-door method that can allow monks to enter the Nascent Soul realm. Instead of getting twice the result with half the effort, she stumbled. After finally relying on water to hone her kung fu, she reached the peak of Jindan. After that, for more than a hundred years, the bottleneck of Jindan began to remain motionless, which made her despair.

The old man looked up at the sky, "Don't you wonder where the three religions, the hundreds of schools of thought, the three worlds, and so many ordinary masters came from? And why did they come from? How did they finally become the masters of the world?" Well, the last point, there are a lot of messy mountain and wild gossip, far and near from the truth, you may have a general understanding of the inside story."

Wu Yi nodded.

3000 years ago, the last real dragon in the world escaped from Shenzhou of Middle-earth. Relying on its natal supernatural power, which was in charge of the world's water transportation, it chose to land at the old dragon city at the southernmost tip of Aquarius Island. During the period, it was seriously injured and crashed into the ground. Forcibly opened up a dragon path, and was suppressed by an unknown monk with the now-lost method of suppressing the mountain, but he had to break out of the ground, and the dying real dragon finally fell into the later Lizhu Cave. Nearby, just as it fell, another great cultivator used secret methods to build the Lizhu Cave, like a bright pearl, hanging over the Great Li Dynasty.

The old man sighed, "Your comprehension is really unbearable."

Wu Yi felt a little wronged.

With a flick of his sleeves, the old man temporarily turned Ziyang Mansion into a small world, and took out the small boat of the fairy family that used to go boating to the Tianmu Galaxy, stepped into the wooden boat first, motioned Wu Yi to follow, and then said: "Do you think that the world What is the most powerful existence that has ever appeared?"

Wu Yi said timidly: "The patriarchs of the Three Religions and those fourteenth realm bosses who don't want to appear in the world, as long as they are in a certain world of their own, they are like gods. Possess all kinds of unimaginable supernatural powers"

The old man was noncommittal, pointed to the direction of Tiequan River, and said with a smile: "Jixiang Temple, the Baihu River Water God Mansion a little further away, your brother's Hanshijiang Mansion, and the surrounding mountain and water god temples, what's there?" The common point is nothing more, let me just say it directly, as long as you have a brain, waiting for you to give an answer is a waste of my spiritual energy savings. body, no matter how poor your previous cultivation aptitude is, you will become a god with a golden body. It can be said that you will reach the sky in one step. Slow down, this is different from the practice of Qi practitioners, so this is different from being a god. Looking back, let’s talk about the repayment, do you understand?"

Wu Yi shook his head and said, "I still don't quite understand."

The old man said with emotion: "If you disappear one day, you must be stupid. Knowing that it is also for the sake of becoming a Nascent Soul, your younger brother is more cruel to yourself than you, abandoning the many natal supernatural powers of the dragon's legacy, and directly making yourself a handicap. Is the water god of the river?"

Wu Yi's eyes lit up, "If we want to return the Nascent Soul, we must become gods."

The old man looked at the daughter with a pitiful look, a little dispirited, and he was really incorrigible, "Your brother's direction is right, but he went too far, and in the end completely cut off the avenue of the dragon's family, so I have treated him already." Give up, otherwise I won’t tell you these things, you are right to delve into other ways and borrow stones from other mountains to attack jade, but you still have not been able to rectify the law, and you haven’t gone far enough, but at least you still have a chance.”

The old man stretched out a finger and tapped on the railing, "It's not the two ends, it's right here, between gods and man, is the fundamental way that best fits the genus of the dragon. This is our ancestor's family law 1 years ago. Erjiaolong controls the world's five lakes, four seas, rivers and creeks, and wherever there is water, it is our territory. It's just that your brother is clever but was misunderstood by his cleverness. This is hopeless, and led him to that wrong path. It’s just that the rules have changed today, which has a great impact on us. Because of the bloody accident that year, we were disgusted by the invisible avenue, so we become a Nascent Soul. extremely difficult”

Wu Yi finally couldn't help but asked, "Father, you didn't tell me how to become a Nascent Soul, so just tell your daughter directly."

The old man smiled and asked back: "You and I are father and daughter, do you think it is only natural for you to practice Taoism and me to preach?"

Wu Yi suddenly felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and felt that he was going to suffer a lot next.

Sure enough, the old man sneered and said: "Father is kind and son is filial. This kind of thinking is taught by Confucianism, not by father. As a father, you never expect respect and filial piety from your children and grandchildren.

You should know better than those brothers and sisters in the womb of a father, so how should you be a daughter?"

Wu Yi's face was pale.

The old man grinned, showing some snow-white teeth, "In a hundred years, if you still can't become a Nascent Soul, I'll eat you, or else I'll share my dragon luck in vain. For the sake of your ability to do things this time, Let me tell you a piece of news, that Chen Pingan has snake gallstones condensed from the blood of the last real dragon on his body. On the day when I eat you, you can struggle a little more. How about it, is your father very loving to you?"

The tall Wu Yi trembled.

The old man suddenly said with emotion, "You eat the refined aquarium to satisfy your hunger, and I eat you to gather luck. Cui Dongshan, who occupies a pair of ancient relics, may naturally eat me. What should I do?"

The old man said with a smile to Wu Yi: "So don't think that your cultivation base is high, your ability is great, and how great it is. There is always a mountain as high as a mountain, so we still have to thank the Confucian sages for the rules. Otherwise, you and your brother would have been fathers long ago." Dinner is on the plate, and then I should be in Cui Dongshan's bag. In today's world, don't look at the countries at the bottom of the mountain fighting each other. There are constant disputes between sects on the mountain, and various schools of thought are also fighting each other, but this is also worthy of being called a troubled world. Haha, I don’t know if the situation of ten thousand years ago reappears, will everyone now go to the Confucian temples in those counties and counties and kowtow on their knees?”

Wu Yi didn't feel the slightest bit about these "big events".

She was still thinking about the method of becoming a Nascent Soul.

The old man asked: "What four things did you give Chen Pingan?"

Wu Yi replied honestly: "Each floor chooses one, a piece of meteorite that condensed and bred from the first spring thunder and fell to the world, the size of a thumb, weighing six catties. A high-grade spiritual weapon robe with a spring grass thin shirt. Six pieces of paper figurines made of fox skin beauty talisman specially made by the Xu family in Qingfeng City. A blue plum core full of spiritual energy, buried in the soil, can grow into a thousand-year-old bayberry tree in one year. Every 24 solar terms, you can Exuding spiritual energy, an old ancestor of the Lingyun School wanted to buy it with a lot of money, but I was not willing to sell it."

The old man nodded and said, "The heat is okay."

The old man laughed suddenly, "Don't think that you are flirting with blind people. Wei Bo, the righteous god of Beiyue Mountain, will explain it to Chen Pingan one by one, but the premise is that Chen Pingan can walk to Lupo Mountain. It depends on the fighting skills between Cui Guoshi and Cui Dongshan It worked out."

Wu Yi could hear the astonishing inside story in the words, Cui Chan and Cui Dongshan were fighting, but she was still obsessed with the saying "between gods and men", and she begged: "Father, if I can become a Nascent Soul, Can't you do more for your father?"

But the old man has already put away the small boat, removed Xiaotiandi's supernatural power, disappeared in a flash, and returned to Dali Piyun Mountain.

Only Wu Yi was left, full of melancholy and apprehension.

A hundred years.

It is the long life that ordinary people dream of, but in her Wu Yi's opinion, it is nothing

The water god of Jixiang Temple was too courteous along the way, so Chen Pingan had to move out Zhu Lian to prevent the disaster.

Soon Zhu Lian got up with the Tiequan River God as brother and brother, and when they arrived at the ferry, the two reluctantly said goodbye. The River God called Zhu Lian his eldest brother, which was very familiar and sincere.

The God of the River drove the ferry back. Chen Pingan and Zhu Lian looked away together. Chen Pingan asked with a smile, "What did you talk about? We hit it off so well."

Zhu Lian laughed and said: "What else can men talk about, women, I talked about Mrs. Xiao Luan halfway."

Chen Pingan didn't bother to say anything.

Zhu Lian suddenly shyly said: "Young master, if you encounter dangerous scenes in the world in the future, can you let the old slave do the work for you? The old slave is also an old slave, and he is not afraid of the wind and the waves, Mrs. Xiao Luan The gods of mountains and rivers, the old servant does not dare to expect to catch them with his hands, but as long as he lets go of his hands and feet, he uses his housekeeping skills to pick out a little bit of the romantic from the past, the maids around Mrs. Xiao Luan, and the young people in Ziyang Mansion. Female nun, up to three days"

Chen Ping hurriedly interrupted Zhu Lian's words. After all, Pei Qian was still by his side. This girl was not very old, and she especially remembered these words more than she cared about reading.

Zhu Lian was still unwilling to give up, and muttered: "Master, one side of the water and soil nurtures the other side, there must be a cloud of beautiful women in the hometown of Longquan County."

Chen Pingan thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "In terms of appearance, it seems to be no different from an ordinary town."

Zhu Lian lamented, "It's a fly in the ointment."

But Zhu Lian quickly said: "This old slave has the guts to talk about Sun Dengxian's affairs with that brother of the river god without authorization. It is estimated that even if Sun Dengxian encounters some troubles in Huang Tingguo in the future, as long as this brother of the river god who is good at studying hears it, he will say Maybe I can help Sun Dengxian, but the young master is also prepared, even if thousands of mountains and rivers are separated, the Jixiang Temple River God will inevitably ask the young master for credit."

Chen Pingan gave Zhu Lian a thumbs up, "This matter is well done."

Zhu Lian asked curiously: "Why does the young master admire Sun Dengxian so much?"

Chen Pingan said without hesitation: "Because he is a hero. When we travel the rivers and lakes, instead of admiring heroes, do we still worship flower pickers?"

Zhu Lian said solemnly: "Young master, I, Zhu Lian, am not a flower picker, I am a celebrity of my generation."

Chen Pingan dismissed Zhu Lian with one sentence, "You can pull you down."

Pei Qian shook his head and imitated Chen Pingan's tone to add fuel to the fire, "You can pull you down."

Zhu Lian made a movement of raising his foot, and Pei Qian ran away in fright.

Chen Pingan did not choose Yefuguan as the entry route just like returning home from his first visit to the Sui Dynasty.

We arrived at Fengya County on the border of Huangting Kingdom again, and arriving here means that we are only six hundred miles away from Longquan County.

Going forward, we have to pass a long section of cliff plank road. At that time, there was a boy in Tsing Yi and a girl in pink skirt by his side. During that snowstorm, when Chen Pingan stopped to light a bonfire, he also ran into a pair of hostesses who happened to pass by. servant.

The more Chen Ping thought about it, the more he felt that the man with a gentle expression and a calm demeanor should be quite tall.

After passing Fengya County, a group of people came to the familiar plank road in the twilight.

Chen Pingan chose a spacious place, intending to stay here overnight, and told Pei Qian not to get too close to the edge of the plank road when practicing the crazy sword technique.

Pei Qian asked curiously: "The old cook can fly anyway, even if I accidentally fall, can he save me?"

Chen Pingan said casually: "If you want to travel far away, you can ask Zhu Lian to help you directly, but you still have to be careful when practicing swords. They are two different things."

Pei Qian snorted.

Pei Qian held a trekking stick in his hand and began to fight against demons and ghosts.

Every time I see it, Zhu Lian's eyes burn.

Shi Rou really liked watching Pei Qian fooling around, so she sat on a rock and admired Pei Qian's swordsmanship.

After a lot of hard work and sweating, Pei Qian put down his trekking stick, placed the master's bamboo box horizontally, and used it as a desk. After taking out his belongings, he took advantage of the last rays of the setting sun , squatted over there and began to copy books.

After copying the book, Zhu Lian had already cooked the rice, Shi Rou and Pei Qian took out the bowls and chopsticks, Zhu Lian took out two wine glasses, and Chen Pingan poured the old dragon's salivating wine from the raising sword gourd. like a drink.

Pei Qian displayed a turbulent spirit and finished a large bowl of rice early. Chen Pingan and Zhu Lian had just started drinking their second glass of wine. She smiled and asked Chen Pingan, "Master, can I take a look at that little red sandalwood box?" No, in case something inside is lost, we can go back the same way earlier to look for it.”

Chen Pingan took a sip of the wine and said with a smile, "Look for yourself."

Pei Qian then took out a beautiful small wooden box from the bamboo box, and sat cross-legged beside Chen Pingan holding it. After opening it, he counted one piece after another. There was a heavy iron block the size of a thumb, and a folded piece of iron There are no two-fold blue clothes, a pile of talisman papers with beauties on them, turned over and over again, afraid that they would run away with long legs, Pei Qian suddenly panicked: "Master, master, the plum core is missing, what should I do? What should I do?" , do you want me to go look for it on the road right away?"

Zhu Lian rolled his eyes.

Shi Rou couldn't help laughing, when you liar, can you hide the smile in your eyes?

Chen Pingan said, "It's okay, Master has money now, if you lose it, you lose it."

Pei Qian snorted, turned his wrist, and spread his palm, "Master, you are not happy, we all thought it was lost just now, right, so now we have an extra plum stone."

Chen Ping smiled and nodded.

Pei Qian laughed and said: "Master, you are so stupid, it was not lost in the first place, you can't even tell."

Chen Ping flicked Pei Qian's forehead.

Pei Qian didn't move at all, and made a movement of sinking his dantian, "It doesn't hurt at all"

Zhu Lian couldn't bear it anymore, and snapped his fingers in the air.

The pain was so great that Pei Qian quickly put the plum core back into the small box, bent down and quickly put it aside, then hugged his forehead with both hands, and burst into tears.

Chen Pingan laughed hard.

Seeing that even Master didn't feel sorry for her, and peeked at Master's Pei Qian through his fingers, he cried even harder.

Chen Pingan had no choice but to quickly put away his smile and asked, "Do you want to see Master Yujian traveling far away?"

The corner of Pei Qian's mouth turned down, and he said aggrievedly, "I don't want to."

Chen Ping just smiled.

Pei Qian suddenly laughed brightly, "I think so."

Chen Pingan took off the half-immortal weapon sword fairy behind his back, but did not draw the sword out of its sheath. After standing up, facing the cliff, he threw it out.

Chen Ping stepped forward quickly, slapped the Yangjian gourd, swept it out, stepped on the long sword, and roared away.

Pei Qian opened his mouth wide, got up quickly, ran to the edge of the cliff, stared at the chic back of Yu Jian with wide eyes.

Zhu Lian and Shi Rou naturally knew the answer, and Feijian Chuyi and Shiwu were hidden under the fairy sword.

Pei Qian opened his voice and shouted: "Master, don't fly too far."

In the mountain wind, Chen Pingan slightly bent his knees, stepped on the fairy sword, and connected with the two flying swords. Hovering still, the golden sea of ​​clouds in the afterglow is under your feet, stretching as far as the eye can see.

There is great beauty between heaven and earth without words.

It was only then that Chen Pingan discovered that what he saw when he was traveling with the sword was completely different from the scenery and feelings that he took on the ferry boat overlooking the sea of ​​clouds.

Chen Pingan looked at the sea of ​​clouds for a long time, and as the sun sank into the sea, the afterglow gradually faded away. Finally, Chen Pingan stood on the long sword, closed his eyes, held his breath, and practiced the sword stove.

Chen Pingan put away the sword furnace pile, and in an instant, his heart moved, and he murmured: "It's Cao Ci who has broken the border again."
