Sword comes

Chapter 446

It is especially cold when the snow melts.

Either the road on the official road is muddy, or the snow on the secluded path is deep, stepping on it, rustling.

Moreover, according to the calculations of several earth immortal monks in Shujian Lake, at the end of this year, there will be a bigger snowfall in the vast land of Shujian Lake. At that time, in addition to Shujian Lake, that rare heavy snowfall in a century will also include Shihao Country The Zhuying Dynasty vassals, Shujianhu monks are naturally happy to see the success, and the vassal states are afraid that they will suffer, but I don’t know if the three heavy snowfalls after winter will imperceptibly block the horseshoes of the Dali Iron Cavalry The speed of going south has won more breathing opportunities for the Zhu Ying Dynasty, which adopted the strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the country for the first time since the founding of the country.

It's just that these general trends in the world seem to have little to do with the daily life of the monks who are stable on the top of the mountain. After all, "the world" is divided into uphill and downhill.

In the main hall of Lingguan Temple, Zeng Ye went around to collect firewood and lit a bonfire.

Chen Pingan was still wearing a thick cotton robe, the same as he was on Qingxia Island, except that he no longer carried his sword on his back, but used the wrong style of sword "created" by Pei Qian, and brought a homemade bamboo knife and a purchased one from Chishui City The big imitation Qu Huang sword from Yuankui Street hangs on the side of his waist.

The two of them ate dry food. This trip was Zeng Ye's first time traveling far in his life. Therefore, compared to the taciturn Chen Ping'an, the young Zeng Ye was unavoidably excited. The genealogy issued by the Xiadao Patriarchal Hall can make Zeng Ye feel fresh, but he dare not reveal it. Mr. Chen has a lot of worries, and Zeng Ye is not blind.

The two were speechless.

After Chen Ping ate the dry food, he began to spread out a map of Shihao country, prefecture and county. Now the southern territory of Shihao country is fine, only the sparse Dali iron cavalry scout cavalry wandering in it, Chen Pingan and Zeng Ye took I have seen it twice, but in fact, the southern part that has not been affected by the flames of war has also shown signs of troubled times, such as the Lingguan Temple where the two are located, is an example.

This is an old Lingguan temple that has not been repaired for a long time, and it is slightly dilapidated. According to the explanation of the nearby villagers, the old temple Zhu who was in charge of incense passed away in the fall of this year. The county government should have elected a new temple Zhu. Said, as long as the candidate has a clean background, and there is a Taoist master who has a pedigree to help him sign, the state and county will nod. This is a trivial matter, and there is no need to bother the Ministry of Rites in the capital. I can't take care of it anymore. After all, the people fled and returned to their hometowns afterwards. The imperial court will not blame them, but Miaozhu's weak post is similar to that of the county magistrate. Even if the county government took a big step back and stated in private that they don't need to spend their own money to establish a relationship with a certain high-ranking Daoist in the county, they still don't want to take up the post, so they just delay it again and again Procrastinating, it is estimated that when the Dali Barbarians who have surrounded the capital of Shihao Kingdom free their hands, and then go south, this Lingguan Temple, which has little incense, will have no incense at all next year.

In troubled times.

The common people are too busy to take care of themselves, so they can't care about the matter of offering incense in the temple. When they are full, they can care about whether the clay-sculpted gods and lords are full. This is human nature.

Chen Pingan handed over the bamboo box to Zeng Ye, in which was placed the magic weapon of ghosts, "Prisoned" Yan Luodian, which came on credit from Qingxia Island's secret warehouse.

As for Yu Hui's subsequent visit to Qingxia Island, he offered to sell the high-quality spirit weapon imitating the Liuli Pavilion to Chen Ping'an, and temporarily kept it among the things close to him. At the moment, they are all filled with spirits and ghosts with relatively full and complete souls. Except for one of them, the other eleven ghosts are all Qi practitioners who have cultivated in the fifth realm before they were alive or died under Tan Xue's hands. Heavy, deeper obsession.

Although Zeng Ye has mediocre cultivation aptitude and blunt temperament, he is a tall young man with diligent hands and feet and bright eyes. After leaving Shujian Lake, Zeng Ye did a lot of work all the way north.

However, Chen Pingan is not the kind of genealogical master who is used to rich clothes and jade food, and he does not need Zeng Ye to serve him, so the two who are like masters and apprentices but have no masters and apprentices, walked harmoniously and naturally along the way. The country needs to visit as many as forty places, involving eight prefectures and more than [-] counties in Shihao country. Zengye's headache is that half of the places are located in the northern part of Shihao country. When dealing with barbarians, Zeng Ye was relieved when he thought that Mr. Chen was a god. The poor boy was taken to Shujian Lake since he was a child, and grew up on Maoyue Island. The taste of "immortal master on the mountain" still has a trace of innate fear for the court and soldiers.

It may seem naive, but in Chen Pingan's opinion, this is the right thing to do. Otherwise, if you encounter that strange cavalry from the far north and mistakenly think it is those ordinary soldiers and horses in the central territory of Aquarius Continent, once there is a conflict, don't worry about it. It is said that Zeng Ye, a monk of the lower five realms, is a golden core earth immortal who can be under one person in Shihao country and above ten thousand people, and he will run into a wall on the side of Dali cavalry, maybe he will die fate.

Regarding this matter, Chen Pingan did not deliberately remind Zeng Ye that many seemingly superficial truths can only be profound if they have experienced it personally, at least they should have heard it with their own eyes.

Zeng Ye started to practice, with the secret art of the fairy family taught by Mr. Chen, breath and breath, hard work can make up for one's weakness, the more impoverished the wilderness, the more able to cherish this hard-won opportunity.

It is not easy for Chen Pingan to cultivate his mind now, and he naturally stagnates in the matter of cultivating strength. The same is true for boxing and swordsmanship and the practice of absorbing spiritual energy.

Chen Pingan stood up, stepped over the threshold, and came outside the main hall of Lingguan Temple, frowning slightly.

There is an old rural saying that is widely spread, that one person does not live in the temple, and two people do not look at the well.

Ordinary people may not really understand the mystery, but those who practice Taoism will feel it more deeply.

When in a person's heart, good thoughts are scattered like a tree falling down, while distracting thoughts and evil thoughts will come in one after another, and vice versa.

It is similar to places like temples and Taoist temples that were originally prosperous with incense. They were originally places where ghosts and ghosts fear gods sit and rule.

Many literati's reading and writing notes have recorded a pile of weird things that happened in dilapidated temples, which is the reason.

Once between Caiyi Country and Shushui Country, Chen Pingan encountered a fox demon in the dilapidated temple.

That time, there were encounters and partings.

Chen Ping lowered his head and held his hands together, exhaled lightly the white mist, rubbed his palms together to keep warm, thought for a while, and closed the door so as not to disturb Zeng Ye's practice.

Zeng Ye's heart is simple, but he is not tenacious enough on the way of cultivating the Tao, and he is easily distracted. So tonight, the matter of tempering the spiritual energy and warming the Qi Mansion will be interrupted just after the beginning, and he has to start all over again. It doesn't matter once, if there are too many times, once a mental track that I didn't even realize is formed, it will be a big trouble, people's inertia, greed, etc., are so many, it seems to happen quietly, it is only right and proper, but in the eyes of others, There are already traces to follow.

Therefore, in the early stage of Zeng Ye's practice, Chen Pingan had to take care of the young man.

Although he is not a master, he is quite like a guardian.

Thinking of this, Chen Pingan couldn't help but laugh.

Not only did Chen Pingan not feel heavy, but he was a little more relaxed. He probably remembered some happy things in the past, so that before he knew it, his brows stretched, and he smiled and said, "Come out, I know you exist. This Although the incense in the Lingguan Palace has faded, one of the golden body dharma clones has long been hidden and dormant for many years. The master Lingguan only has divinity left, which is not enough for him to show up and protect the whole world, but you have no grievances or enmity. It's better not to offend the river, than to end up enemies for no reason. Once you meet a bad-tempered Lingguan master, who will try to consume your divinity and break your golden body, you will be killed. You can go outside the main hall Eat the remnants of incense, and believe that the master spirit official behind him may not necessarily be angry. The difference between yin and yang, ordinary people tend to like yang and hate yin, but Taoist spirit officials may not be like this. It is God's will and chance that you survived after death, so you You can wander around outside the main hall to help yourself maintain a little aura, but don't go into the main hall."

Chen Ping said it patiently and carefully, because many ghosts and ghosts with hostility, hatred or obsession lingering after death are in a daze, and their knowledge of this world is no more than when they were human in life. Shan Ze Yexiu, who is in the lower five realms like Ye, is not as good.

In Chen Ping's eyes, near the back door of the front hall, there are several genitals hiding there. In terms of position, you may not be able to clearly feel the yin and evil qi emanating from the yin, but if you are a world with weak yang qi and prone to disasters, you may be caught in the trap, and the yin qi invades the body, and it is easy to be infected with wind and cold. I can't afford to be sick.The qi-invigorating medicines given by rural local doctors may not be effective, because they treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and the patient's soul is injured. However, some of the old-fashioned methods used by some sorceresses may be effective instead.

I don't know if it's because I'm afraid of Chen Ping'an, or if it makes sense, those ghosts gradually recede, and I gave up the plan to enter the main hall of Lingguan Temple.

Since they stopped, Chen Pingan didn't say much or do anything.

The first place they will go on this trip is a fairy house on a small mountain in Shihao country. The women's yin is present and walks in the world. Chen Pingan often asks their opinions, and they can rely on Zeng Ye, but if they feel uncomfortable, You can also temporarily live in a piece of fox fur beauty talisman paper from the Xu family in Qingfeng City in the hands of Chen Pingan. The charming talisman woman can be placed in close proximity or in Chen Ping's sleeve during the day, and can appear at night. They can travel with Chen Pingan and Zeng Ye.

The twelve fox fur beauty talisman papers are like an inn, and now there are people staying in it, and they used to be from the Shihao country, so when night falls, when there is no one around, Chen Pingan will take out the talisman papers and put them in The talismans they live in are taken out, but Chen Pingan needs to spend some snowflake money, otherwise the talisman paper will be closed, preventing them from returning to the underworld, and unable to take a few more glances at the moving world where ghosts and ghosts cannot be frozen Landscape after snow.

If it were the usual night, Chen Pingan and Zeng Ye would be chattering and chirping all around. Among the twelve talisman papers, even though there were some women who didn't like to communicate, they had been together for a long time. , there are more or less one or two close and acquainted female ghosts around, each holding a group, chatting about some boudoir words, as for the Dao and practice, I will not say a word more, it is useless to say more, it will only make you sad.

As for why they showed up tonight, it was Chen Pingan who asked them to return to the talisman papers, because they had to stay overnight at the Lingguan Temple and follow the Romans in the countryside, and they should not offend these temples. Chen Ping'an came, talking about these rules, it's nothing more than rural people, Mr. Chen is a Qingxia Island deity, so there is no need to pay attention to it, the gods of the Little Lingguan Temple dare to walk out of the clay statue, Mr. Chen just beat him back.But Chen Pingan insisted, so they could only obediently return to the fox fur talisman paper carefully crafted by Xu.

At this moment, Chen Ping'an was standing in the corridor, and the main hall behind him enshrined a red-faced, bearded, yellow-robed and golden-armored Lingguan master, holding an iron whip, and the golden rooster stood alone, majestic and majestic.

According to legend, he is one of more than 200 recorded orthodox spiritual officials of Taoism.

There is even an extremely hidden rumor that has been circulating in the Haoran world for nearly a hundred years. Most of them are great monks of the upper five realms and earth immortals like Liu Zhimao, so they are qualified to hear it.

That is, one of the three Taoist teachers who sat in Baiyujing last time, the Taoist second child with the reputation of being truly invincible, proposed five hundred Taoist spiritual officials, and everyone in the three worlds, even the celestial masters of Longhu Mountain, Even if you are not originally a Taoist disciple, whether you are a disciple of the other two religions or a hundred schools of thought, you have the opportunity. Once you accumulate enough merit and good fortune, you will be able to return to your throne and eventually be enshrined in the Lingguan Hall, one of the five cities of Baiyujing. , Enjoy endless incense.

So aside from the fact that there are more than 200 spiritual officials and gods who are "ranked in the immortal class", it means that half of the gods are still vacant.Where the destiny belongs, the seat is waiting.

Chen Ping walked down the steps, squeezed a snowball, and lightly tamped it with both hands. He didn't go to the front hall, but just wandered in the courtyard between the two halls.

This is probably the well water does not offend the river water.

Chen Pingan was thinking about something.

In Nanbasuo Continent, Tongye Continent and Fuyao Continent, the three continents closest to the inverted mountain, treasures were born, and heroes competed with each other.Du Mao's ascension failed, and the pieces of the glazed golden body were scattered. This great opportunity, it is rumored that many monks of the five realms on Aquarius Continent fought for it.

Then there is the theory of five hundred spiritual officials.

This is the real world trend.

Among them, Chen Pingan also personally experienced the Tongyezhou Rebellion, and was slightly affected by Chiyu. Fortunately, his life was not a concern, but the "young Taoist priest" of Taiping Mountain who handed over a ancestral hall jade plaque had a very miserable plan.

Because of this, Zhong Kui became a ghost and lost his status as a gentleman in the academy.

On the avenue, there are dangers and dangers, but the more mysterious lies in the coexistence of risks and opportunities. Whether it is fishing in troubled waters, gaining profits, or even getting rich overnight, is far better than a hundred years of accumulation, or the avenue is damaged. In the final analysis, it depends on Those who cultivate the Tao are not very capable.Under the general trend, Zhong Kui of Taiping Mountain is like this, and Tongye Zong Du Mao is also like this, they don't know the difference between good and evil.

Knowing these things may not be useful, but it is definitely better to know the context than to be kept in the dark from beginning to end.

Since this trip had to go through various states and counties in the north and south of Shihao country, Chen Pingan knew a lot about Shihao country's government, field, rivers, lakes, customs and customs in Qingxia Island.

The Shihao Kingdom respects Taoism and respects a Taoist Sanxian real person as the national teacher. The so-called Sanxian is naturally a side-door Taoist who is not among the four main lines of Taoism. Crowns are the easiest to distinguish. They are hibiscus crowns, fishtail crowns and lotus crowns. Taoist priests have a high or low rank in the Taoist sect, and Taoist crowns also have many subtleties.In addition, there is the Dragon and Tiger Mountain lineage of Zhongtu Shenzhou, which belongs to the local Taoist forces in Haoran Tianxia.

It is rumored that this time, the Dali cavalry of the barbarians in the north was blocked from going south. The real person protecting the country called the wind and rain in front of the battle, scattered beans into soldiers, and protected the capital without losing it.

In addition to these paper news from Liuxu Island Xianjia Mansion, Chen Pingan also made a special trip to set up a banquet in Chishui City, and found an opportunity to entertain Gu Can's two brothers, Shi Hao, who had fled here for nearly a year. Han Jingling, the prince of the country, and Huang He, the son of the general of the frontier army of the Shihao country.

Chen Pingan asked a lot, chatted shallowly, and was polite.

Although Han Jingling is His Royal Highness the prince of Shihao Kingdom, one of His Majesty's current sons, a serious nobleman, has been out of Beijing for many years, but before the battle was fought, he found an excuse to leave his domain It's not difficult to guess what kind of temperament it is to quickly go south to seek refuge.But the world is unpredictable, the Dali Iron Cavalry went south, and wherever they went, in the northern part of the stubborn Shihao country, there was often no grass and fierce battles. Instead, it was under the jurisdiction of Han Jingling. Because the dragons had no leader, they escaped. The military disaster happened, and Han Jingling somehow gained the reputation of a "virtuous king" in the territory under his jurisdiction, but Chen Pingan knew that it was mostly the staff of Han Jingling's dragon-supporting ministers who were helping to make suggestions.

When Han Jingling faced the famous Mr. Accountant of Qingxia Island, he naturally knew everything he could say, and wished to show his heart and soul to Mr. Chen, who had become famous several times in Shujian Lake.Huang He, the son-in-law of the great general of the Shihao Kingdom, left Shujian Lake earlier, and went to plan with his old man who had taken refuge in the Dali Iron Cavalry to support Han Jingling as the new emperor of the Shihao Kingdom. It is said that he has already met Su Gaoshan, so this trip Returning to Shujian Huchi Shuicheng is to announce the good news to Han Jingling.

Chen Pingan didn't give them a chance to call him brothers and sisters, and of course Han Jingling and Huang He didn't have the guts to do so.However, there are subtle differences between the two temperaments. The former is troubled and low-minded. As for what will happen once he succeeds in becoming the new emperor of the Shihao Kingdom, and whether he will regret his groveling at the banquet in Chishui City, Han Jingling should temporarily Before he could think of that step, Chen Pingan didn't care.As for the latter, facing Chen Pingan, Huang He seemed to be more humble than Han Jingling, hiding a trace of thoughts that seemed to be gradually tightening the bowstring, because the great general Su Gaoshan, this majestic mountain, is like a The Huang family of their frontier army is a great reassurance that one day they really come to this backer, not to mention the little devil Gu Can who is no longer rebellious, even Chen Pingan, I am afraid that when they meet again in the future, they will have to treat him Huang He treated each other with courtesy.

Chen Ping'an just silently watched these tiny details of people's hearts ready to move.

As for the newspaper on Liuxu Island Mansion, the emperor of Shihao Kingdom issued an edict, declaring it to the government and the public. In it, the eight words "arrogance and disobedience, and the soldiers and the people" were used to punish Huang He's father, who was once conferred the title of "Loyal and Yihou" by the former emperor. The final conclusion was reached.

Huang He, who had been drinking with Chen Pingan and Han Jingling without speaking much, only mentioned this matter with a flamboyant expression and a smile on his face, saying that his father was not angry when he heard the edict, and only said "out of breath" four times. words.

Chen Ping looked at the energetic young face and drank a glass of wine alone. When he saw him lift the glass, Han Jingling hurriedly greeted Huang He and drank together.

There is so much meaning of participating in the grand event.

Let Chen Pingan dumbfounded.

This kind of wine table is full of so much fucking knowledge, the best wine is tasteless.

After the banquet, which seemed to be a happy event where all the guests and guests enjoyed the conversation, Chen Ping returned to Qingxia Island alone. Chen Ping took another look at Su Gaoshan, the general of the Great Li military. The last time, it was because of Lisu Island. Tan Yuanyi's advances and retreats were at a loss.

Chen Ping returned to his senses.

It turned out that there appeared a tall, armored figure in the front hall, who might have been an official commander in the battlefield during his lifetime.

The yin thing walked out of the front hall, crossed the threshold with his left foot, clasped his fists and said: "This immortal master, we and our subordinates offended us earlier, and almost disturbed the master Lingguan in the main hall. I'm a lot."

Speaking of this, the pale-faced school lieutenant Yinwu smiled sadly, put his hands away, and habitually reached out to press the handle of the long knife at his waist.

Be it the armor or the saber, they are exactly the same as the body of the yin, and they are all illusions of various obsessions in life.

Looking at the warrior from Shihao Kingdom who was covered in scars, especially the two wounds on his chest and neck that were slashed by a saber, although Chen Pingan had never really experienced the battle between the two armies on the battlefield, he knew that he died in battle. The battlefield deserves the words vigorous and vigorous.

Yinwu looked back at the front hall, then turned and continued: "The immortal master is from the mountain, and he may understand that the ghosts we despise in the world, the more dead, the stronger the desire for life than living people. , As long as I can survive, I will use any means, so after the battle, I and my fellow soldiers from the same country under the command, the ghosts linger, travel day and night, all the way to the south, come here, some brothers can't hold on, and their souls have disappeared halfway. Some of them went to their hometowns and met their wives, children and parents, mostly in ancestral halls and ancestral graves, so they could go on the road with peace of mind, but there were also many brothers who became more and more obsessed. Whenever they met living people at night, they wanted to devour their yang energy. , or pass through places like the local Lingguan Temple where there are no gods sitting in town, regardless of whether you just want to have a full meal, it is extremely difficult to restrain, and it is getting more and more difficult.”

Chen Pingan nodded and asked: "I dare to ask this general, if someone in the robes wants to do such a thing, such as harming the people halfway, and can't stop it, how will the general deal with himself?"

This is a very unsightly question.

General Yinwu gently pushed the scabbard, his face full of pain, but without the slightest hesitation, "You have to ask my sword, do you agree? It is considered that there is no way to serve the country, but if you die, you will go to harm the people, and you must pass me first."

General Yin Wu took a deep breath and grinned, "I am not afraid of the fairy master's jokes when I say it. All the way south, brothers returned to their hometowns one after another to part. Well, instead of killing any ordinary people in Yangjian, we wiped out nearly a hundred lonely ghosts full of hostility in various places in the mass graves. It's a pity that the monks in our army ran faster than each other at that time , I didn’t even have time to ask after I died, wondering if our act of eliminating harm for the people can accumulate evil virtues for the brothers so that they can have a good pregnancy in the next life.”

Chen Pingan bowed his hands and clasped his fists to salute, then withdrew his hands, and said in a deep voice with an unquestionable firm tone: "The world is selfless, but human relations are righteous. I believe that both the general and the robe will be sheltered by virtue. They can protect themselves, and they can Huize family descendants"

As soon as the military commander heard the words spoken by the immortal master himself, a warrior with strong bones on the battlefield actually burst into tears on the spot, and turned his head away, "Did you hear me, I didn't lie to you"

At the back door of the front hall, soldiers appeared one by one, holding their fists together. I don't know whether they were thanking the general who died together, or thanking the young man in blue cotton robe for his "final conclusion".

When the world is extremely cold and frozen, when the mountains and rivers of a country are shattered, the iron armor on their bodies clangs.

In the darkness of the night, Chen Pingan took out a pen and paper, and recorded the names and birthplaces of the more than [-] ghosts, including generals, and said that in the future, some friends would hold two Sunday rituals and land and water rituals. Dojo, he could give it a try and help get their names listed there.During the period, Zeng Ye, who had come to an end in his practice tonight, opened the gate of the main hall and helped Chen Pingan and the ten or so Yin soldiers. Of course, Chen Pingan was very familiar with the elegant words of Baopingzhou, but he was very familiar with Shujian Lake. The official dialect of the Zhuying Dynasty used by the monks and common people in the area is not unfamiliar, but when the generals and soldiers adopted the accents from all over the Shihao Kingdom, they had a headache, and it happened that Zeng Ye could "make a bridge".

Chen Pingan managed to record all the names in the register after he was busy until the cock crowed.

For yin things, the crowing of the rooster does not necessarily mean retreating. Some ghosts with strong yin qi, as long as they are not exposed to the sun at noon, may walk in the sun during the day without hindrance. Living people work at sunrise, almost instinctively.

After Chen Pingan put away the pen and paper, the general who died in the Shihao Kingdom surnamed Wei said that parting was imminent, and he wanted to take a walk outside the Lingguan Temple with Chen Xianshi, of course Chen Pingan would not refuse.

The two walked through the front hall, and after stepping out of the gate, the military general Yinwu laughed softly: "Chen Xianshi is a genealogy master from a foreign country, otherwise our official dialect here would not be so jerky."

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "From the north."

The general subconsciously rubbed his neck and said with a smile: "Even if it is from Dali, it doesn't matter. I have to admit that the Dali cavalry is really powerful. On the battlefield, both sides don't need monks to join the army. There is no need, one dare not die, and when they fight, they are almost equal in strength, but the situation on the battlefield is completely one-sided. It is the reason why the big Li soldiers dismounted and fought with us, the martial arts on the battlefield, and the momentum. It’s incomparable to others, it’s one thing to lose and feel aggrieved, otherwise my brothers and I wouldn’t die in peace, but having said that, I’m somewhat convinced.”

Chen Pingan hummed.

The general stopped, "I don't want to ask too much, but I'm not stupid. I know that Master Chen is actually the one who will hold the Zhoutian Dajiao and the Water and Land Dojo. So"

The general shook his armor lightly, let go of the handle of the knife with his palm, and was about to kneel on one knee. For this great kindness, he had to show some kindness to this mountain god for his brothers.

Unexpectedly, he was held by Chen Pingan's hands, unable to kneel down.

Chen Ping smiled and said, "No need, I can't afford this great gift."

The general had no choice but to give up, jokingly said: "Chen Xianshi, you are so polite, do you want me to die with shame again?"

Chen Ping shook his head and said, "Don't dare."

Chen Ping's hands covered his sleeves, he raised his eyes and looked into the distance, the sky was about to light up, and the night was getting thinner. He said softly: "General Wei is actually much better than me. He knew how to do the right thing from the very beginning. In this way, it is the right thing to do. It’s really good, I’m not as vigorous as General Wei, not only will I get hurt, but I’ll make everyone suffer.”

The general was silent for a moment, and asked: "Why don't you say that you are troubled? You are not happy, and you are not allowed to say what you said last time, so how can you hurt others? Master Chen, although I am an outsider, I have walked this way. It’s really not easy to know oneself through hardships and hardships, especially when you draw a knife against Paoze. The suffering is really more uncomfortable than being hurt by the knife of the Dali Iron Cavalry. Brothers who are close to the army, beat them up, otherwise I would have been driven crazy. It is estimated that the brothers have not lost their wits and turned into ghosts, and I will become a ghost that harms the world first. So you shouldn't think so, Master Chen .”

Chen Pingan thought about it carefully, then smiled and said, "Thank you, General Wei said that, I feel much better."

The military general surnamed Wei laughed and said: "I am not a general, but a military man from a sixth-rank official. leading so many brothers"

Having said that, he stomped lightly, stepping on the snow on the side of the road, "It's just going to die, it's not a feat, it's just a matter of concern."

Chen Pingan remembered something, and took out a handful of snowflake money, "This is the fairy money on the mountain. You can use it to absorb spiritual energy and maintain spiritual wisdom. It is the least valuable kind."

The general hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take it, jokingly said: "Chen Xianshi can give some more, I don't think the money of the gods is heavy, I love money before and after my life, the most relentless thing in the world is money, isn't it?"

Chen Ping quickly waved his hands and smiled, "I'm an accountant now, and I'm very smart in business. I know your origins, no more, no less. I should give you a few fairy coins for traveling at night. The door is clear." .”

The general surnamed Wei laughed heartily.

Okay.

There are still businessmen who are afraid that others will not know that they are "smart"

Chen Pingan asked: "Since General Wei's native place is in a guard post on the northern border of Shihao Country, he intends to send his brothers off before returning to the north alone."

In fact, the military general surnamed Wei, who was only in his early 30s, shook his head, "You don't need to go back. My parents left early, and I have no wives and children. Everyone I knew in my hometown died. His Majesty the Emperor began to mobilize the frontier army on a large scale the year before last. In addition to the fact that the northern frontier army is inherently tough, most of the frontier troops who dared to fight and were able to fight tough battles were mostly transferred to the north. This is not a rebellion, and stabbed us fiercely in the waist and eyes, in fact, I know very well that the backbone of our Shihao country has been completely defeated by the Dali Iron Cavalry."

Chen Pingan said slowly: "General Wei, if you are willing, after you finish everything, go to Shujian Huyunlou City alone to find an eighth-level swordsman named Du Shehu. If Du Shehu is not in the city , go to the Liu family in Meizi Lane, and ask their master to recommend you to Qingxia Island by boat. Whether it is Du Shehu or the head of the Liu family, you can say that you are Chen Ping’s friend, and when you arrive at Qingxia Island , someone will welcome you. You can live at the gate of Qingxia Island and stay temporarily in Zengye's house until we return. If General Wei is willing, I can write a letter and give General Wei a token .”

The military general surnamed Wei asked with a smile: "Could it be that Chen Xianshi has friends around him who are proficient in ghosts and intends to train me to become a ghost general? Chen Xianshi has a great favor for me, so I will ask this question, otherwise I just don't ask this question." No, the big deal is to promise to come down, wander around when the time comes, but not to Shujian Lake, and to look at Chen Xianshi Haihan. To be honest, I really don’t have the slightest interest in fighting. If I can, even if it’s just like this every day Waiting for the soul to fly away, but also to accept fate. Chen Xianshi's great favor can only be hoped to be repaid in the next life."

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "Although I know some secret methods of ghosts and ghosts, I also have two magic weapons suitable for ghosts and ghosts, but I don't want General Wei to be used by me, but I don't want General Wei to just disappear in the world. Xia Dao, as long as you trust me, General Wei will decide whether to stay or stay in Xiadao. Even if General Wei wants to become a ghost general, I will not nod in agreement. This is not only humiliating, but also self-degrading."

The Yinwu surnamed Wei clasped his fists and said: "That said, I feel relieved. If I live a few more days, I will earn a few more days. As for how much immortal money Chen Xianshi spent during the period, I will still say the shameless words. Opportunity, just be Mr. Chen Xianshi, the accountant, and he is not shrewd enough."

Chen Pingan took off the Yangjian gourd and took a sip of wine.

It's rare that it's not for refreshing, but just want to drink.

Back at the Lingguan Temple, Chen Pingan wrote a letter, handed over a yang energy lighting symbol, and a small letter made of purple bamboo, all of which were given to the general surnamed Wei, and finally slipped them to him A Xiaoshu coin.

After finishing these, it is dawn.

All the yin objects temporarily inhabit the front hall of the Lingguan Temple.

When Chen Ping returned to the main hall, Zeng Ye had already packed his luggage and carried the bamboo box on his back.

Chen Ping'an cupped his fists at the painted statue, and apologized softly: "Tonight we two are staying here, and the Yin soldiers in the front hall are staying overnight. It's a lot of trouble."

Zeng Ye had no choice but to clap his fists together and apologize.

When they walked out of the main hall and passed the front hall, the military general surnamed Wei just hugged the two of them as a farewell, without any words of gratitude.

After leaving Lingguan Temple, they continued to drive northward. The two were walking in the snow. Zeng Ye asked softly, "Mr. Chen, can I ask a question?"

Chen Pingan was bending over to grab a handful of snow, washed his face casually, and said with a smile, "Let's talk."

Zeng Ye asked: "For no reason, Mr. Chen, why are you spending money again and again? On Maoyue Island, Master and everyone have said that we practitioners consume the most money. Small things If you don’t know how to be frugal, you are destined to have no great future in this life.”

Chen Pingan smiled and asked back: "Then do you think I have a great future now?"

Zeng Ye scratched his head and said, "Of course Mr. Chen is already a great monk."

Chen Pingan said: "That's it. Anyway, I'm already considered a great monk in your eyes. It doesn't matter if I don't save money once in a while."

Zeng Ye always felt that Mr. Chen, who has always treated people with sincerity, actually deliberately did not explain this issue thoroughly to himself, but seeing that Mr. Chen was not willing to go into details, Zeng Ye was not ashamed to ask the bottom line.

Chen Pingan said with emotion: "We stayed at the Lingguan Temple last night, so do you know the origin of the Lingguan and the responsibilities of these gods?"

Zeng Ye shook his head and said: "I only heard from Master that they are Taoist gods, and they have a longer origin than the gods of mountains and rivers."

Chen Ping smiled and said: "Then the old saying that there are gods who stand three feet above the head, you must have heard of it. I feel that it is much better to believe this than not to believe it. Whether it is ordinary people or us so-called practitioners, if in our hearts, we fear nothing but fear evil people and evil ghosts, I don’t think it is very good. But this is my own opinion, Zeng Ye, you don't need to pay too much attention to these, just hear it."

Zeng Ye nodded and said: "Then I will write it down first. Maybe someday I will need it."

Chen Ping turned to look at Zeng Ye and smiled.

Zeng Ye was a little embarrassed, "Mr. Chen, I said something wrong again."

Chen Ping shook his head and walked slowly, "No, you said it very well. Some truths are used to survive and help oneself live better, while others are used to feel at ease. As for which truths It is better and more suitable for the present. It depends on each person's own family background and state of mind. Anyway, I think they are all useful truths. You will also know the big and small truths in the future. When you encounter things, take them out, think about them, and then make decisions."

Zeng Ye said sincerely: "Mr. Chen, you know a lot of truths."

Chen Pingan laughed and said, "Stop talking about such nonsense in the future, Mr. Chen will never lack a sycophant like you."

Zeng Ye carried a big bamboo box on his back, turned sideways, and said with a cheerful smile: "Now I am the only one with Mr. Chen, so I want to talk more about these sincere flattery, so that Mr. Chen will not listen to it for a long time. Flattering, you won’t get used to it.”

Chen Pingan smiled and narrowed his eyes, squatted down suddenly, skillfully pinched a small snowman the size of a palm, and placed it on top of the bamboo box behind Zeng Ye's back, making the tall boy bewildered.

Chen Ping clapped his hands, "I'm going to do an entry-level boxing post next, it's very simple, just punch every six steps, you can learn from me, but you can learn boxing, you must make sure that the little snowman on the bamboo box can't fall Come down. I will teach you three times, and then on this journey, if you have nothing to do, you can follow this fist, I don’t force it, and you don’t have to force it, just take it as a small way to relieve boredom.”

Afterwards, Chen Ping practiced Zeng Ye's walking three times. Zeng Ye focused on Chen Ping's footsteps and the final punch.

Chen Pingan saw it all, and asked Zeng Ye to walk around by himself.

The situation is stable, and it seems to be walking much better than the straw sandal boy in Niping Lane.

But Chen Pingan sighed in his heart, he didn't know how to watch the boxing, and he hadn't started for three years.

Zeng Ye's understanding of boxing is far inferior to that thin boy who stood in front of him with a hatchet in the city of Yanzhi County in Caiyi Country.

But this is not an important matter, as Chen Pingan said, it is just to let Zeng Ye find something to do, so as not to stare at him all the way, after all, those fox fur beauty talismans cannot be taken out often, and Chen Ping An is also really afraid of those women who are becoming more and more lively and unscrupulous in their words.It’s all right to tease Zeng Ye, one by one secretly bet, come to my side to flirt, they are not self-deprecating, what is it?

After all, Zeng Ye is a Qi trainer who was cultivated by spending money on Maoyue Island. He has a strong body, so he had to use the Shaking Mountain Fist in his own form. The little snowman on the bamboo box never fell to the ground without tilting.

After Chen Ping finished walking the fist three times, he stopped walking the piles and took out the map from time to time to look at it.

That night, the two of them were going to sleep in a wilderness, as long as it didn't snow, it would be fine.

Chen Pingan took out a piece of fox fur beauty talisman paper, in which lived a woman named Su Xinzhai.

Before she was alive, she was a cultivator in the cave, a native of Shihao country, and her father was patriarchal. When she was young, she was picked up by a Qi trainer from a fairy cave in Shihao country, and she was taken to Huangli Mountain to formally practice Taoism and practice on the mountain. For more than ten years, he never went down the mountain to return to his hometown. Su Xinzhai had no affection for his family for a long time. His father once went to the foot of Huangli Mountain to pray to see his daughter. The man who worked hard had no choice but to return in vain, swearing and cursing all the way, it was extremely unpleasant, it was hard to imagine that it was the words of a biological father, Su Xinzhai, who was secretly followed by Su Xinzhai, heard them very clearly, and completely broke his heart. Su Xinzhai, who helped the family once and then truly cut off the world of mortals, returned to the mountain gate.

The last time Su Xinzhai traveled down the mountain, together with two senior sisters and senior sisters, he was taken away by a Longmen Realm patriarch on Sulin Island in Shujian Lake, and died tragically in the mouth of that dragon. The other two women from the same sect died long ago on Sulin Island The patriarch has it.

Su Xinzhai appeared with the appearance of a woman drawn on fox fur talisman paper, with a clever smile and expressive eyes.

She is the most open-minded and eccentric among the twelve women, and many of the tricks to tease Zeng Tie are her ideas.

If it wasn't for entering the Huangli Mountain boundary soon, Chen Pingan would not have dared to invite her out.

Regarding the recent situation of Huangli Mountain, Chen Ping'an had told Su Xinzhai everything he knew from the very beginning.

The mentor she was thinking of had passed away a few years ago, but Huangli Mountain is still stable now, after all, it is only a second-rate fairy family in Shihao Kingdom, and it is relatively easy to avoid disasters in a chaotic situation. , the third-rate and the last-rate, have long been annexed by the surrounding fairy caves. The first-class top forces are so big that they are in trouble. How should they deal with the Shihao Kingdom court or the Dali Iron Cavalry?

There are more than [-] monks in Huangli Mountain, who belong to the genealogical masters recorded in the Zhenger Eight Classics, plus servants, maids and other vassals, there are about [-] people now.

Su Xinzhai's last wish is to return to Mount Huangli, and offer three sticks of incense to each of the master's grave and the ancestral hall. He has no other wishes, not even the idea of ​​living in the Hall of Imprisonment, or in the imitation Liuli Pavilion. .

After Su Xinzhai appeared, for the first time, he didn't make fun of Zeng Ye or the accountant.

Zeng Ye thought it was strange, but Chen Pingan didn't.

The feeling of being close to the hometown is timid.

Seeing Su Xinzhai, Zeng Ye felt a little happy.

The mind of a teenager is crystal clear.

Chen Pingan knew, and Su Xinzhai knew it, but she just pretended to be ignorant. Whether a young girl is emotional or not is often more particular about love at first sight than an older woman.

Men are moved by the beauty of a beautiful woman, and women are moved by the beauty of a man. These are all unbreakable truths, and it is not worth making a fuss about.

Poor Zeng Ye, this tall young man, is better than the situation of Zhu Xian's mansion ghost Xiu Ma Yuanzhi, but it's really not much better.

Seeing that Su Xinzhai was frowning, Chen Ping changed his mind and told Zeng Ye that besides his practice, he should sleep for another hour and drive all night.

It was rare for Zeng Ye to be able to do something for Su Xinzhai. Naturally, he slapped his chest loudly. Seeing that Chen Ping'an was holding his forehead, he was still a chick who had never flown through the flowers.

However, Chen Pingan still gave Zeng Tie a chance and walked away alone, leaving Su Xinzhai to "protect the way" for Zeng Tie who was practicing by the campfire.

Chen Ping secretly left two flying swords there, and then walked alone on the ridge path where the snow was loosened and the occasional snow rustled.

Looking back, I found that Su Xinzhai was running quickly with her skirt in her hands, and deliberately stepped on the snow, leaving a long series of footprints behind her. As a cash cow with a fox skin talisman beauty, it is not difficult to do this.

The sky is high and the earth is wide, full of wonders.

Practitioners, step by step, can always see more beautiful scenery than the foot of the mountain.

Su Xinzhai came to Chen Ping'an's side, walked side by side with him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen is really not good at being a matchmaker, can't you see that I am not at all interested in that silly boy Zeng Ye?"

Chen Ping smiled bitterly and said: "If you don't want to be tempted, you won't be tempted. I won't force you to do anything, but don't hurt others intentionally. Miss Su will be pure in the future, but I still have to get along with that silly boy day and night. Year."

Su Xinzhai pretended to be surprised, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen is such an immortal master, he still cares about the mood of a fool. If he is not obedient, just beat him. Beat him so that he only knows how to be obedient. Our book slips, Hu Yexiu, are like this. I don’t even remember it well, I just remember to hit it.”

Chen Ping angrily said with a smile: "I don't even bother to talk to you."

Su Xinzhai suddenly wanted to reach out to hold Chen Pingan's arm, but Chen Pingan jumped out of the way and said with a stare: "Remember to hit me?"

Su Xinzhai covered his mouth and smiled, bent down and squeezed a snowball, and asked casually: "Where is the small charcoal cage that Mr. Chen carries with him, I can help light the fire."

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "Don't waste charcoal. In Qingxia Island, you don't have to worry about it anyway. Someone will help you add it when you run out. Here, if you don't have it, you have to pay for it by yourself at the market. Your hands are warm, but Distressed."

Although Su Xinzhai showed up many times along the way and had already experienced the stinginess of this accountant, he still found it fresh and interesting.

She asked that question just to hear the answer.

Su Xinzhai walked in front of Chen Ping'an, then backed away, and said with a smile: "When you arrive at Huangli Mountain, Mr. Chen must eat a meal of crispy sweet-scented osmanthus street twist in the small town at the foot of the mountain to make this trip worthwhile. Better buy a big sack and bring it with you."

Chen Ping angrily said: "You pay for it"

Su Xinzhai rolled his eyes and said: "Oh, my Mr. Chen Da, old immortal Chen, you have traveled such a long way, why do you still care about a few taels of silver?"

Chen Ping smiled and said: "At first glance, she is a girl who can't live a life, how dare you look down on Zeng Ye who is honest and responsible?"

Su Xinzhai was so annoyed that he threw the snowball in his hand, and Chen Pingan, who was already weak, easily dodged it. Su Xinzhai wanted to pinch another snowball, but Chen Pingan hurriedly said: "Stop, stop, I don't want Zeng You have misunderstood both of us."

Su Xinzhai really stopped, jokingly said: "Mr. Chen is too hard to find water, he still has a wicked heart but no guts."

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "It's not enough for outsiders."

Su Xinzhai looked at the young man's eyes and made a grimace, "Yo Yo Yo, it turns out that Mr. Chen, the wooden man, really likes a girl. Sigh, I lost the bet again."

Chen Ping laughed it off.

In the end, Chen Pingan asked Su Xinzhai to go back to Zeng Ye's side first, saying that he would take another casual walk.

Su Xinzhai made fun of saying that he is an old fox at a young age. I don't know how many girls he has harmed to have this impeccable mind.

Chen Ping accepted it as a good word and didn't bother with her.

Su Xinzhai went back to Zengye's side and squatted by the campfire.

Chen Pingan has not returned for a long time.

After Zeng Ye finished his practice, seeing Su Xinzhai who was beside him, he just smirked.

After Chen Ping returned, he continued on his way.

Because it was close to the boundary of the Xianjiadongfu, Chen Pingan did not take out the other nine fox skin talisman paper beauties. In the past, he passed through the temples of the gods of mountains and rivers, or the two temples of Wenwu and Chenghuang Pavilion.

In fact, there is no need to worry about the small troubles that may arise for a jade plaque on Qingxia Island in Shujian Lake. Moreover, Shihao Kingdom is close to Shujian Lake, which is full of wild repairs. Most of them are not surprised.It's just that Chen Ping insisted on this, and Su Xinzhai and the other nine yins just complained a few words, not even complaining, like being coquettish with an elder.

At dusk, a ghost and two people came to the small town at the foot of Huangli Mountain. Before going up the mountain, although Chen Pingan said he was not willing to spend money, he bought a bag of sweet-scented osmanthus street twist, assorted stuffing, the most expensive One was distributed to Su Xinzhai and Zeng Ye. It was really crispy and sweet. After eating a few mouthfuls, Chen Pingan turned around and went to buy two big bags. While no one was paying attention, he secretly put it among the things close by. Seeing Su Xinzhai's smiling face , Chen Ping turned a blind eye.

The two monks guarding the gate of Huangli Mountain are two disciples of the lower five realms who are not very qualified, one old and one young.

When Chen Pingan took out the enshrined jade tablet of Qingxia Island, which was full of spiritual energy, and briefly explained the purpose of coming, the two of them turned pale with fright. .

Regarding Su Xinzhai's identity and those two incidents, Chen Pingan did not hide from Huang Lishan.

The old monk actually remembered the name Su Xinzhai. After all, she was the proud child that Huanglishan had placed high hopes on. It was just that the tragic incident at the foot of the mountain made Huanglishan not only not have the slightest thought of asking for guilt, but even took the initiative to send people there. Shujian Lake Sulin Island, apologizing to the patriarch who is an old fairy in the Longmen Realm, of course, also has the idea of ​​"turning bad luck into good luck and turning bad into good", thinking of having a relationship with Sulin Island, it is good A flag was planted on the top of Huangli Mountain to deter those enemies from far and near.It's just that Sulin Island didn't let Huanglishan monk enter the mountain gate at that time, and he didn't have the slightest bit of face. Fortunately, after the monk returned to Huanglishan, he deliberately let out some ambiguous rumors in private, which can be regarded as a good news for his own teacher. Some real benefits.

So I heard that a priest from Qingxia Island came to visit, how could the old monk dare to neglect.

The ancestor of Huanglishan Shimen quickly walked out of the mansion, took a few monks who were in power on the mountain, and personally received the unattainable Grand Priest Chen.

For the Shihao Kingdom, there are more than a thousand islands in Shujian Lake, and tens of thousands of rebellious wild cultivators. Among them, more than a hundred islands need to remember their names firmly. Among them, there are Qingzhong, Lisu, and Tianmu. There are more than a dozen large islands in the area, which must be firmly remembered. As for the Qingxia Island where a Yuanying Patriarch Jiejiang Zhenjun came out, it is the most mountainous, like the highest land fairy in the world, Huangli Mountain has no way of knowing Shujian Lake has been full of turmoil in the past two months, but about Liu Zhimao's successful ascension to the throne of the lord of the rivers and lakes, almost all the monks on the mountain in Shihao, except for those low-level sects that have no information and are isolated from the world, are still well known.

When Su Xinzhai saw the familiar face of Huanglishan Patriarch, tears welled up in his eyes, and he immediately knelt down, weeping uncontrollably.

This action startled the ancestor and everyone in Huanglishan.

Chen Ping's words were tactful, and he said again the words he had said to the monk at the mountain gate.

These statements were all figured out by Su Xinzhai himself.

Chen Ping just copied it.

After Huang Lishan learned the "truth", everyone was relieved. For the little girl Su Xinzhai who had changed her appearance, the old patriarch of Guanhai Realm who had never been able to enter the Longmen Realm, even after the two parties sat down, he greeted her with care. , more or less sincere, can not be fake.The nostalgia for Su Xinzhai made the monks in Huanglishan sigh.

Then Su Xinzhai went to the Patriarch Hall of the Shanmen to offer incense, which was handed over by the Patriarch of Huangli Mountain himself.

In the end, Su Xinzhai went to the master's grave. This time, only Chen Pingan and Zeng Ye were her companions. She herself declined Patriarch Huanglishan and the other senior monks.

A middle-aged monk looked at the backs of a group of people, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "This Chen Gongfeng who came all the way from Qingxia Island is really unrecognizable."

The old Patriarch Huanglishan smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Is it a compliment or a derogation? It's because Chen Gongfeng is not here. Otherwise, based on your words, our little Huanglishan may be ruined."

However, the old patriarch quickly stroked his beard and smiled: "However, it's true that people can't be judged by their appearances. Their appearance is ordinary, and they don't have any dazzling magic weapons on them. If it wasn't for the enshrined jade plaque, it would be unbelievable. Such a young monk is already the first-class priest of Qingxia Island. Compared with others, we gang of worthless old bones are incomparable, incomparable."

Waiting for the middle-aged monk to say something.

The old patriarch glanced at him, and shook his head slightly, "It's all like this, what else do we need to do at Huangli Mountain? I hate good things and bad things, so I eat and hold on, and do some superfluous things."

The middle-aged monk immediately nodded knowingly.

Although he had gone far away, Su Xinzhai keenly noticed Chen Pingan's helpless face, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter, the old patriarch on the mountain said something about me behind my back?"

Chen Ping shook his head with a smile, "No, you're talking nice about me."

Su Xinzhai asked curiously: "Why, if you say that Mr. Chen is young and promising, it's okay. Mr. Chen can respond generously, but if you praise Mr. Chen for his handsome appearance, you must not take it seriously, Mr. Chen." ah."

Chen Pingan said helplessly: "It's not that one family doesn't enter one family. You Huanglishan monks have the same vision."

Su Xinzhai smiled.

After that she walked a little slowly.

Chen Ping then slowed down.

In the back of Huangli Mountain, where the aura is far inferior to that of Qingxia Island, in a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, in front of a grave.

After incense, kowtow.

Su Xinzhai didn't want to get up for a long time.

Chen Ping squatted in the distance, grabbed a small handful of soil, and gently twisted it.

Zeng Ye looked at Su Xinzhai's figure from afar, and the young man was also sad and sad.

After Su Xinzhai got up, he wiped away his tears, and walked to Chen Pingan's side, his expression was relieved, and his brows and eyes were no longer worried.

Chen Pingan lost the dirt and stood up.

Su Xinzhai smiled and said, "Mr. Chen can take back the talisman."

Chen Pingan hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn't say much, took back the fox fur talisman and put it in his sleeve.

The only thing in front of her is the woman's genitals that have returned to her original appearance.

Chen Pingan asked: "I really don't want to live in the fox fur talisman paper. Even if there is the Zhoutian Dajiao and the Water and Land Dojo, reincarnation, or?"

Su Xinzhai shook his head, "I don't regret it, not at all."

She took a few steps back, smiled sweetly at the accountant whose pale face was no better than a vagina, and gave a graceful blessing.

She turned her head, first smiled at Zeng Ye with moist eyes: "Silly boy, follow Mr. Chen in the future, practice hard, remember to be among the fifth realm, and then become an earth fairy."

Zeng Ye nodded vigorously.

Then she looked at Chen Ping'an, and said softly: "May Mr. Chen, all wishes come true and be free from worries."

Chen Pingan asked hoarsely: "Think about it again."

Su Xinzhai said again: "May Mr. Chen be with the girl he likes, a fairy couple."

Chen Pingan took a deep breath, raised his hands and cupped his fists, "I wish to see Miss Su again by fate."

Su Xinzhai's face was full of tears, but he smiled happily and said, "Mr. Chen, please don't miss me when the time comes."

Chen Pingan nodded slightly.

Su Xinzhai tilted his head slightly, staring into the young man's eyes, as if to make sure that he was lying, and finally smiled, "Ha, I just realized that our Mr. Chen is extremely handsome."

Chen Pingan squeezed out a smiling face, trembling, and stretched out his thumb, "This girl has good eyesight."

Su Xinzhai no longer had any obsessions, bit by bit, his soul began to fly away, like a scroll of a lady's painting, it was completely burned, the ashes flew away, and returned to the world again.

Chen Ping waved goodbye to her.

Zeng Ye covered his face and wept.

Finally, Chen Ping patted the boy on the shoulder, "Let's go."

Zeng Ye drooped his head and nodded slightly.

Chen Pingan said softly: "If you really like Miss Su that much, since you haven't been able to say that you like her in this life, it doesn't matter. In the next few decades and more than a hundred years, even if you search the world, you have to go see her again , Tell her loudly that I like her. If a hundred years is not enough, then try to become an earth fairy who competes with the world for longevity. As long as you still like her, you can practice diligently while traveling thousands of miles. It doesn’t matter if you look for her for a thousand years. "

Zeng Ye suddenly raised his head, choked with sobs and said, "But my aptitude is poor."

Chen Pingan said in a deep voice: "Zeng Ye, before you have put in far beyond ordinary people's efforts, you have no right to say that you are not talented or have poor aptitude. You say it to others a thousand times or ten thousand times. I don't care about you, but with me, as long as you still want to practice Taoism with me, you can only say it once."

Zeng Ye was in a daze.

Chen Pingan took the lead and said the last words to Zeng Ye, "I'll wait for you at the gate of the mountain. Before that, I will go to say goodbye to the monk of Huangli Mountain. You don't have to follow. I have something in my heart. You can stay here alone. As for whether you want to say it or not, it doesn't matter. Whether you can really keep it in your heart for a long time is the proof of how much you like Miss Su, but if you say something that you may not want to hear at the moment, Even if you fell in love with another girl after a few months or a few years, I will not despise you Zeng Tie because of this, but if you can always remember Miss Su, I will definitely think highly of you Zeng Tie"

Chen Pingan left Zeng Ye there alone, and returned alone to thank and say goodbye to monk Huanglishan.

Slowly descend the hill.

Sit on the bottom steps at the mountain gate.

Looking back, a tall boy was running down the mountain.

On Songhe Street in a prefectural city of Shihao Kingdom where the dignitaries gather, there is a Ma family mansion with a very high threshold. It was originally a first-class noble family in the county, but later because it gave birth to a good daughter who is more golden than the royal relatives. , making the family go one step further. In such a large state city, the prestige is extremely high, that is, the always noble and arrogant Lord Inspector, who will take the initiative to send people to Ma's mansion as guests every time during the holidays.

At the end of the new year, in the early morning of this day, the sound of horseshoes resounded on Qingshiban Street, and three riders entered the city early and came to Songhe Street.

As the war has spread to the central area of ​​Shihao Country, which is only one state away, Songhe Street is no longer as happy and full of New Year's flavor as in previous years.

The three riders dismounted one after another.

A young man with a sluggish look, wearing a blue cotton robe, imitated the ranger hanging his sword.

There are two men and women leading horses beside them. The woman has a graceful figure, but unfortunately she is wearing a veiled hat to hide her face. There is also a strong young man carrying a bamboo box.

The concierge was a middle-aged man who was dressed as well as the gentry of the county. He yawned and squinted at the foreigner who was headed by him. He was a little impatient, but when he heard that this person came from Qingxia Island in Shujian Lake, he shivered. , No sleepiness at all, immediately bowed his head and said that the immortal master would wait for a while, and he would report to the Patriarch.The concierge ran quickly, and he didn't forget to turn his head and smiled and begged the young fairy master not to worry, he must go and come back quickly.

The mansion is vast, and after about half a stick of incense, the sweaty concierge hurried over together with a thin and refined man with frosty temples.

Behind the two of them, there is an old man who walks neither in a hurry nor slow but not slow at all, he looks like Mr. Jiashu.

The woman under the hood already had tears in her eyes, but she bit her lips tightly and did not speak.

Chen Ping took out the jade tablet, the old gentleman took it, looked at both sides carefully, handed it back to Chen Ping respectfully, and said in a soft voice: "I don't know if the enshrined immortal master is coming, it's a little too far to welcome. "

Patriarch Ma suppressed the surprise and awe in his heart, and hurriedly invited the three people from Qingxia Island who came from afar to enter his mansion.

Patriarch Ma originally wanted to open the door to show his sincerity, but politely refused to the young immortal master.

According to the wording that Chen Pingan had discussed with the Ma family mansion, the daughter of the glorious lintel, and the head of the family who was nearly fifty years old but well-maintained, he said straight to the point: "Ma Duyi was in Shujian Lake. It is a monk of Songfeng Island, who cast himself under the sect of an old monk named Shao Dongtian, and had no hope of avenues at all. Later, Ma Duyi had another chance, and he was able to make a real breakthrough in the matter of cultivation. He was fortunate to be in the same vein as me, and now he is my nephew and nephew. So I made a special trip to come to your Ma family to have a look when I am traveling this time."

These words, as a guest, are actually very blunt and condescending, which fits the tone of a Shujianhu monk, and also fits the demeanor of the top genealogy master of Shihao Kingdom.

But whether it's the head of the Ma family, or the family's worship, I think it's right.

Otherwise, I really have to immediately weigh up whether this young man's status as a consecrator is a fraud. Seeing that Ma's family is in danger now, he deceived himself.Otherwise, at most, he would eat and drink well, serve him attentively, and then send God out quickly, just to be on the safe side, so as not to cause complications. After all, what Ma Shi needs now is a real helping hand, not some kind of icing on the cake.

Although he was still skeptical about the young people's so-called Qingxia Island enshrined status, but in the end, he believed more, so his polite words became more polite, almost flattering.

Anyway, there are a lot of polite words, and it doesn't cost a penny.

Ma's family background today is not only due to his grandparents and grandchildren reading the sage books for generations.

The only trouble is that in the past few decades, Mrs. Ma has been too glamorous and has too many opportunities. He wants to earn all kinds of money, but in the end, he earns a lot of trouble. The money I bought was not a life-saving talisman for breaking wealth and warding off disasters, but a life-saving talisman.

If this young immortal teacher is really Ma Duyi's new uncle, then everything will be fine

Today's Shihao Kingdom, from the capital to the local area, is full of uproar. An immortal monk with enough weight can speak more effectively than those poor bosses in the six yamen.

Entering the lobby of the mansion, Chen Pingan still spoke concisely, saying that Ma Duyi has a good relationship with him, if the Ma family is in trouble, he can try his best to help a little, if the family business is stable, then see if there are any good seedlings in the family who are suitable for cultivating Taoism, If there is such a blessing, as for whether to send that good seedling to Shujian Lake for cultivation, or leave a sum of immortal money, both are fine.

Three days later, Sanqi left the city.

The woman who always wore a veiled hat looked back at the city wall of the city with complicated eyes.

Ma's urgent need, after a young priest from Qingxia Island showed up, he went to the governor's mansion and was able to get through it safely.

A child from the Ma family who barely possessed the qualifications of a Qi trainer at the fourth or fifth level, took refuge in the sect of an old fairy in the state city, and began to practice Taoism. It is recorded in the book, which means that the child, on the premise of having a famous teacher, and the family has a steady stream of fairy money, which can enter his master's pocket every year. , that child has no worries about the future, more or less, will get a part of his own real benefits.

Chen Pingan sat on the horse and did not speak.

It is a young man like Zeng Ye who is not very well-informed in the world. In the past few days in the Ma family's mansion, he has seen that from the head of the Ma family to the woman, he has nothing to do with his daughter Ma Duyi who has long since left. Affection, in the words, carefully ask this and that, ask about Ma Duyi's origin as a teacher, ask about Ma Duyi's cultivation level, ask side-by-side questions about whether young priests have Taoist companions. In short, about Ma Duyi's change from Songfeng Island monk to Qingxia Island The monks and the couple were also superficial and asked a few questions, but it was like a kind of entertainment on the wine table or in the officialdom. It will be ugly, that's all.

The estrangement of the relationship between father and daughter, mother and daughter may be due to the fact that Ma Duyi has been away from home for too many years, and his practice in Songfeng Island has not been smooth, which disappointed the old ancestor. Too far away, maybe the parents feel that the status of the daughter has become disparate, or maybe the family heirs are prosperous, and the children under Cheng Huan's knees will naturally be more pleasing to the elders than the daughters "married far away". There are thousands of reasons, but There is only one truth.

At this moment, if outsiders say any words, they will only stab a knife in their hearts, and every word they say will hurt every word.

So Chen Ping hinted at Zeng Ye with his eyes during a stop of the horse, telling this simple boy who couldn't help but plan to say a few words of comfort, not to say anything.

Chen Pingan did not put away the fox-skin beauty talisman paper that Ma Duyi lived in, and let her ride the horse to relax, and followed them to the next place.

Two days later, Zeng Ye's eyes began to change, but his appearance and voice remained the same. However, the eyes of a person are where the spirituality of the appearance gathers, which can easily affect other people's perception of the entire appearance.

Ma Duyi finally no longer lost his mind, probably because he thought Zeng Ye's current situation was more interesting.

It was a ghost of a handyman on Qingxia Island, and it began to possess Zeng Ye. It was still different from the ordinary Shan Zeyexiu who was good at "invoking the upper body" and "opening the door to greet the spirit".

As for the real doorway, Ma Duyi certainly couldn't tell the depth.

Near a rural village.

I saw an old woman with a rickety figure, her clothes were plain and clean, even if there were some mending, it still wouldn't give people a sense of dilapidation.

She was returning from pounding clothes by the stream, holding a big bamboo basket and staggering.

This is not easy for an elderly country woman.

There are many hardships in life, and it is not easy to live a poor life without too many complaints. It is extremely difficult for the poor to live like a rich person, but it is even more difficult to live a comfortable life.

"Zeng Ye" got off his horse, staggered forward, ran to the side of the old woman, plopped and knelt down, just kowtowed, bang bang.

The old woman looked bewildered, and quickly put down the bamboo basket, not caring whether the clothes she had just washed would be stained with mud on the ground, squatting down, with some difficulty, trying to help this strange boy up, even Chen Pingan and Ma Duyi couldn't understand The local accent anxiously asked: "What is this for? What is this for?"

In the night.

In the old woman's house, there is an extra beauty with fox fur talisman paper, but there is actually a man living inside.On the table is a pile of fairy money left by a departed person, and the aura is enough for him to last for 20 years.

It is still possible to send the old woman to her death and try her best to let the old woman live for the rest of her life.

After the guest's long journey, the old woman and the "grandson" who had been away from home for many years held hands and sat opposite each other, weeping.

On the country road, the three riders still left.

Zeng Ye was still a little distracted and had to breathe slowly.

The three riders returned slowly.

Ma Duyi suddenly said: "The old woman is a good person, but when she learned the truth, she shouldn't have talked to you like that. It's right to sacrifice your life for your life, but what does it have to do with you?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "I think it should be said that way, that's the right way to say it."

Ma Duyi suddenly snorted coldly, and said with annoyance on his face: "Look, an old woman in the countryside is more nostalgic than my cruel parents."

Chen Pingan turned his head and said with a smile: "Be so angry, or go back to Zhoucheng, I will help you get back the fairy money and scold your parents for the old rules. You decide the words, and I will speak."

Ma Duyi, who was riding leisurely on horseback, yelled at the accountant, "Don't think that you are really a lard-filled accountant, you just want to earn a little bit."

Chen Pingan laughed out loud.

Ma Duyi suddenly laughed and said, "Do you know why my parents chose this name for me? Because when I was not born, the midwife said with certainty that he must be a big fat son, but after I was born, the man guarding the door When my father heard that she was a girl, he was immediately dumbfounded, stomped his feet angrily, and left. But in the end he came back angrily. My mother often said to me, your father, the first time you saw me, Fen Diao Yu Zhuo's is not at all like those ugly children, he is very good-looking, and my father is immediately happy. By the way, do you know why it is called Du Yi? Ask you, Mr. Chen Da"

Chen Pingan smiled and shook his head.

Ma Duyi shook his head like the old master in the family school that he hated so much when he was young, and said: "It is advisable to have a high talent, supplemented by hard study, heart and hand, and a unique path."

Chen Pingan asked: "Isn't it unique in the world?"

Ma Duyi laughed loudly, "Okay, Mr. Chen, find out the fox's tail for me."

Chen Ping said helplessly: "All right, all right, you are the smart one."

Ma Duyi turned her head and asked softly: "Mr. Chen, why are you doing this to us?"

Chen Ping let go of the horse's reins, put his hands on the back of his head, and murmured: "Yes, why?"

Ma Duyi stared at that thin face obsessively, it had nothing to do with the love between men and women, but he felt a little sad when he looked at it, and for a while he even suppressed the lingering sadness in his heart.

I saw that Mr. Cotton Robe withdrew his hand and clapped his hands, "There is an answer."

Ma Duyi looked curious.

Mr. accountant with the wrong sword in his waist, at this moment, it is rare to smile so happily, "It's Yizai, it's Yizai."

Ma Duyi laughed, but said, "What kind of nonsense answer."

Chen Ping wrapped his arms around his sleeves and said, "If you complain again, be careful and put you away."

Ma Duyi wasn't afraid at all, and didn't take it seriously, "Where is the next place?"

Chen Pingan smiled, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and murmured softly, "Anyway, they are all in the world."

Ma Duyi suddenly said loudly: "Yizai"

Chen Pingan echoed with a smile: "Good."

The horseshoe goes away to the rural village where the chickens are screaming and the dogs are barking.

The last and biggest snowfall of the year came unexpectedly.

It was snowy and late at night.

Long away from the village.

Ma Duyi is that Yin thing, not afraid of heavy snow at all, and that leisurely, reciting famous poems, saying that the heavy snow is like flying gulls, looking forward to seeing the flat eaves, the village is deep and the face is cracked by the wind

Chen Pingan rode on the horseback, looked around many times, trying to find a shelter that could avoid the wind and snow, and couldn't help but complained tremblingly: "Where is the wind-cracked face, it is obviously going to freeze to death."

Ma Duyi smiled and asked: "Master Chen, is it appropriate or not at this moment?"

Chen Pingan ignored her, changed from sitting on the horseback to standing on the horseback, and looked around as far as possible. After a while, he finally found a place in the distance, faintly dotted with lights.

Chen Pingan frowned.

The journey of the three riders was a turnaround on the original road. Chen Pingan memorized the scenes he saw along the way before, and there shouldn't be such light in the first place.

Just when Chen Ping'an planned to continue on his way under the severe cold of wind and snow, avoiding those faint lights.

But I found that the light seemed to be slowly drifting away. If nothing happened, the lights and the three riders would eventually converge in front of the road.

On the contrary, Chen Pingan felt at ease. In this kind of weather, people who can stare at him, and they are so far apart, and they can wait for the opportunity to move. Most of them are not robbers or grassroots bandits, but if they are really Shanzawa Yexiu, or spirits and ghosts, they are not. Don't worry.

The world is big, sometimes, it is not easy to survive, but it is the easiest to find death.

Ma Duyi was a little worried, she finally noticed the vision in the distance, and asked softly: "Mr. Chen, should we take a detour?"

Chen Pingan said calmly: "No need."

Ma Duyi was stunned for a moment.

It wasn't until this moment, after leaving Shujian Lake, that Ma Duyi probably got used to the most talkative accountant, that in fact, this Mr. Chen, as long as he felt that he didn't need to talk, he was really more talkative than anyone else.
