MTL - Sword of Coming-Chapter 1209 Gao Liangjing

Chapter 1209

Dali Yuzhou, Luzong Temple, at dawn, the middle-aged scribe had a fast meal, cooked a large bowl of eight-treasure porridge for himself with a small stove, and sat down at the table to read a book after eating the porridge.

Floating life another day, when you open the book, you will see the window light.

The little novice came to knock on the window again to remind, "Mr. Chen, there is a cloud rising in the mountains, do you want to go and see?"

The scribe put down the book in his hand and said with a smile, "Okay, wait a minute. I'll change my boots."

Because of the heavy rain for three days in a row, the mountain was especially cold in spring. The middle-aged scribe was wearing a coarse cotton coat to keep warm, stepped on a pair of suede boots, and held a trekking pole.

I also made a kudzu cane walking stick for the little novice monk who often accompanied me to climb high and watch the clouds, using local materials. When resting on the mountain road, stop the stick like staying on tin.

The temple is shrouded in clouds and mist, one big and one small, each holding a cane, passing by the release pool near the main hall, the water is sparkling, crucian carps gather by the bridge, the water is still the same, and the sound of knowing the king leaning on the cane.

In his spare time, the young novice monk has climbed several times to look at the clouds alone. For some reason, he feels tired and out of breath after halfway up the mountain, and needs to stop and rest many times.

But every time I climb the mountain with this poor but clean-lived middle-aged scribe, it will be much easier, which makes the little novice puzzled. This morning, we walked out of the side gate of the temple together, and they gradually climbed along the familiar mountain path. The novice just heard that the scribes will leave the temple soon, and the next time he will come to copy the scriptures, when and when, and he has not thought about it for the time being, so the little novice hurriedly asked this question, and if he doesn’t ask again, there will be no chance.

The scribe smiled warmly, with the green bamboo stick in his hand aggressively, and with a soft voice, he gave the answer, "Physical strength is still your physical strength, it doesn't increase or decrease. I just helped you adjust your breathing and distribute your strength during the ascent. If you gain strength, your foot strength will become better. I just go into the mountains more times, and practice makes perfect, so in fact, this move does not involve magical powers, so you don’t have to think too mysteriously.”

After the scribe left his residence, the ink on the rice paper on the desk was still wet. What the middle-aged scribe copied today was two lines of Taoism from Dasheng.

"The sky is not created by people, but the sky is created by the sky. Those who open the sky will be born with virtue, and those who open the people will be born with thieves." Zhu commented in the narration, "What does Taoism follow from nature?"

"The avenger does not give up, even though he has a heart, he does not complain." But for some reason, the word "no" was circled by a scribe with a red pen.

—

The capital of Yuxuan Kingdom, Changning County.

In an old house, there is a swing in the courtyard. Everyone has a love for beauty, and the female ghost is no exception. Today, Xue Ruyi changed into a former court dress, wearing a brocade dress with pearls on the wreath.

A beautiful woman swings on a swing. This painting should be hung on a jade scroll, hanging in the blue flowers.

Xue Ruyi was sitting on a swing swing, her pair of embroidered shoes was high and low, she looked at some potted plants in the courtyard that didn’t need to be moved inside to hide from the rain, and for no reason she thought of Taoist Wu Di’s unintentional words, a grass is a flower that doesn’t bloom.

Not long ago, the Taoist priest who set up a stall moved out of the haunted house. It was not easy to live in the capital, which made him pay a large amount of rent for nothing.

Haunted is true, haunted house is not true, if you are used to reading novels about wit and beauty, haunted house? That's what it means to be a ghost under the pomegranate skirt.

Taoist priests rented an old small house in other streets and alleys in Changning County. The flowers and plants in the courtyard were all left to the female ghost Xue Ruyi to take care of. It's like paying rent. The Taoist spoke with a high-sounding tone, walked the rivers and lakes in a poor way, adhered to one purpose, and never lost his position on money.

As a parting gift, Taoist Wu Di left a book collection seal in the house, five-character seal script, and a warm spring fan.

The material of the seal is ordinary. Taoist priests went to do part-time work on the river to help rich people dig ice to make money. I don’t know where they picked up stones. The big seal is really big, the size of a palm, and square, so there are a lot of content on the side. In a whole imitation of ancient poems by Mr. Jing Jie, the phrase "Spring Fan Weihe" is excerpted from the poem. Xue Ruyi didn't notice the gold and stone aura of the seal, but there is a sentence in the inscription poem "Young time is strong and fierce, and you walk alone with your sword", did the master with ulterior motives say it himself? It made her feel a little funny, you, a private Taoist priest who spends money to buy an identity, really thinks that you are a dragon and tiger mountain celestial master who carries a mahogany sword to slay demons and demons, and even travels far away with his sword.

If she had known earlier that the scholar would give her an arty collection of books, Xue Ruyi might still prefer a sentence that Wu Di chanted while drinking porridge in the morning.

I have Wanqiu's plain method, I can eat white porridge to make immortals.

Xue Ruyi had to admit that Wu Di, a Taoist priest, had indeed read a lot of books, otherwise he would not have been able to read exegetical sentences proficiently, but she expressed doubts about whether his knowledge was high.

In the twilight when the heavy rain stopped, Xue Ruyi was swinging alone on the swing. She was really bored. It was absolutely impossible for a Taoist priest to set up a stall in the rain in this weather before. She was a little happy and asked you to move out of the house and earn a few dollars. money? But after being happy, she was a little worried again. It was not easy for Taoist priests to go out and work hard. Xue Ruyi found a reason for herself and went to the Taoist priest to see if she needed some help. She still has some family background. As long as he is willing to ask, she can help if she can. After all, she is a friend.

After all, Xue Ruyi's realm is not low, and her cultivation base in the middle five realms, if not for her status as a ghost, a monk at the sea-watching realm could find a place to establish a sect, and then be a guest of the monarch of the small country of Aquarius Island.

She used her supernatural powers to cover her figure, and wandered all the way to the house where the Taoist priest Wu Di stayed recently. Because she was an old acquaintance with the former judge Hong and Ji Xiaoping, the head of the Department of Yin and Yang, the Beijing City God's Temple has always treated her somewhat leniently. When she arrived at this shabby little house, she didn't show up right away, and felt a little uncomfortable. She gave her such a large collection of books and seals, but lived in such a small place, which made Xue Ruyi feel a little guilty, and she should be kept.

The Taoist priest claimed that when he was young, he went to the rivers and lakes and used the pseudonym "Chen Haoren".

At first, Xue Ruyi thought this statement was more interesting, and it was more fun than talking about Daoist Wu one by one. No matter how thick-skinned a Taoist priest is, how guilty should he be if he listens too much?

But it turns out that Ms. Xue still underestimated that Daoist Wu's face.

After all, according to a fair statement, the second shopkeeper is such a number one person, he only needs to get on the top of the wall and lie down on the ground, with his face on the ground, to hold the top of the wall.

She bought a stack of ghost painting charms with a Taoist before, and as a reward for this transaction, the Taoist taught two spells to the boy next door, and Zhang Hou is now in the willow tendon realm.

As a result, Zhang Hou, a young man who failed in the examination, felt a lot of depression and injustice in his heart.

However, according to the agreement between the two parties, Taoist Wu Di asked Xue Ruyi not to disclose the matter. It's just a fair business where Miss Xue paid a lot of money to buy talismans, and I followed the fate to teach the immortal law. Why should the seed of reading next door feel owed to me.

He won't settle down here for a long time, and it's just a knot in the boy's heart if he wants to pay it back, but it's not necessary.

In addition, did the female ghost listen to the persuasion, and finally did not take any risks, and rashly leapfrogged to burn amulets and surrendered to the picket department in Luanshan.

Especially when Xue Ruyi heard the great news, she was even more fortunate secretly, just because Tong Wenchang, the unattainable mountain lord on Ganzhou Mountain in Xishan, had just received the divine name bestowed by the Confucian Temple of China, "The Great Banner" ". Xue Ruyi was born in Gong'e, and she was the empress's friend back then, so she is familiar with the official rules. At this moment when the entire Da Yue territory is shrouded in a festive atmosphere, is it reasonable for a female ghost to submit a complaint?

Xue Ruyi continued to hide her body, sitting on the wall of the small house, and found an unremarkable old man squatting outside the kitchen door, looking like a farmer.

She was a little surprised, Daoist Wu set up a stall for fortune-telling, and they all put it in the house?

But the problem is that the attire of the old man in front of him doesn't look like a rich man, he is dressed in sackcloth and straw sandals, with a bitter face.

Strange, you, Wu Di, are so ignorant of your conscience in making money now, that you even cheat such an honest person of his hard-earned money?

It can be seen that the old man is not a Qi trainer, but a poor old man.

During meal time, Taoist Wu Di seemed to be busy in the kitchen.

Xue Ruyi hesitated for a moment, worried that she would frighten this ordinary old man, so she floated out of the small house, opened the door and entered, pretending to say, Daoist Wu, congratulations on the housewarming.

Wu Di yelled at the top of his voice in the kitchen, it's Miss Xue, a rare visitor, sit casually in the main room, let Pindao be busy for a while.

Seeing the female ghost, the old man nodded his head.

Xue Ruyi bestowed a blessing, and the old man pinned a jasper pipe to his waist. Probably the only valuable item.

Is it its idea that Taoist Wu Di played? It's really dark. Could it be that the lack of money is enough for this, and things like Lianyu cigarette rods can be bought continuously?

Xue Ruyi thought for a while, and then reminded the old man in a subtle and oblique way, "Old man, this pipe is inherited from the ancestors, right?"

The old man nodded, "It is."

Xue Ruyi couldn't bear it any more, and said softly, "Since it's from the ancestors, don't just send it out casually. If you ask Daoist Wu for a fortune-telling fortune, I'll just advance the money for you, and he still owes me some small silver..."

The old man smiled and said nothing.

The Taoist priest in the room was wearing an apron, holding a spatula, and said angrily: "Miss Xue, what's the matter with you, it's a taboo in the world to cut off people's money. Besides, we are friends after all, there is no reason for you to tear things down like this."

Xue Ruyi used her heart, and said angrily: "This old lady is helping the manager and not helping the relatives. Daoist Wu, you have lost money, and even cheated on the ancestral property of this simple and honest old man? In this weather, you are not afraid of being struck by lightning. what?"

Chen Pingan took two large bowls and walked out of the kitchen. The steam was steaming and the fragrance was pervasive. A pair of chopsticks were placed on each of the bowls, and he said with a smile, "What are you trying to do? I just call my friends to come to the door, Old Tong, and try my handicrafts."

Xue Ruyi asked, "What is this?"

Chen Ping said with a smile: "It's called rice soup, it's a specialty in my hometown, and it's a delicacy that can only be found in poor places."

Chen Pingan handed the old man a bowl, the old man took the bowl and chopsticks, lowered his head and took a bite, nodded and said: "Not bad. This thing is quite sweet."

Chen Pingan raised his head and smiled, listen, is this something that an old farmer in the village can say?

Xue Ruyi rolled her eyes, probably she really wronged the Taoist priest, but don't be so kind as to be misunderstood by the old man.

Holding the bowl, the old man took a deep breath towards the rice soup and said with a smile, "Miss is so kind-hearted, how can it be in vain."

Xue Ruyi was startled, and guessed her own thoughts, or was it the mysterious mind-reading technique on the mountain?

She couldn't help but glanced at the cotton-robed Taoist priest.

Sitting on the steps, Chen Pingan ate rice soup like a hodgepodge, and smiled vaguely: "Miss Xue, didn't you ask Pindao earlier if he recognized the stern and selfless lady in Luanshan? At that time, Pindao said he did not recognize her." But I recognize Tong Shanjun, you don’t believe it, I think Pindao is just joking, I’ll invite Tong Shanjun here from Ganzhou Mountain, I can prove my innocence, I’m not bragging or drafting, and I can save Miss Xue There are so many troublesome procedures, why bother to burn the talisman to cast an ultimatum to the Shanjun Mansion, the rightful Lord Tong Shenjun of Xiyue Mountain is here, and Miss Xue can say whatever she has, just speak out if there is a grievance, and justify it.”

Xue Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and then sighed, "Wu Di, you are so poor that you need to invite outsiders to perform such a fairy dance to cheat my money? Wu Di, if you are really short of money, we are not What is a good friend, but why is it so difficult to help, why bother to resort to such indecent means, it's not worth it."

You Wu Di, if you want to say that you know a few friends on the mountain, and ask your grandpa to tell your grandma, so that you can hire the tiger mansion in Ganzhou Mountain, the kind of subordinate with the smallest official hat, Xue Ruyi may still believe it a little bit, or That kind of dubious.

Liar.

That's right, it's a liar.

She felt a little sad, it's only been a few days since I saw Wu Di, and Wu Di is so down and out?

Chen Pingan asked: "There is still a lot of rice soup in the pot, Miss Xue won't come for a bowl?"

Xue Ruyi shook her head, busy being sad.

The old man put down his chopsticks very quickly, and lifted the empty bowl, "I'll have another bowl."

Chen Pingan couldn't get up, and said with a smile: "Tong Shanjun will go by himself, so there is no need to see outsiders."

The old man was really impolite. He got up and went to the kitchen to fill a bowl of rice soup. It seemed that he was ruthless, and the big bowl of rice soup almost overflowed the edge of the bowl. The old man hurriedly lowered his head and took a few mouthfuls.

Seeing this scene, Xue Ruyi couldn't help but rubbed the center of her brows. If you really want a partner to cheat people out of money, you, Wu Di, are not willing to spend more money. For example, the old man who was in that theater troupe?

play.

You two keep playing.

With such clumsy acting skills, it is your ability to cheat a copper coin from my aunt.

Xiyue Ganzhou Mountain is close to Fengxue Temple. It has two Chujun Mountains. Among them, the main peak of Luan Mountain is several times higher than Ganzhou Mountain. The goddess of the mountain is very famous. Her name is Huailu. It is said that Tong Shanjun, who is the immediate boss, listens to her. The Shanshen Mansion that manages the inner mountains and waters of Yuxuan Kingdom is Lujiao Mountain. Previously, Xue Ruyi wanted to go to Wenwu Temple to burn amulets and vote in Luan Mountain instead of the Tiger Mansion in Lujiao Mountain. This is also the reason. She was worried that the rich and powerful of Yuxuan Kingdom would dare to do this. Now, it will involve all the way to Lujiao Mountain, so why should it be sued.

Last time, at the Xiaochao Meeting in the Royal Study Room of Dali Capital City, the two mountain gods who were the crown princes of Xishan Mountain, Luan Mountain Huailu and Lujiao Mountain Chang Fenghan, did not attend the meeting.

It is said that one is because she is too tired and lazy. Anyway, she has become the Goddess of the Mountain of the Crown Prince, and she has no chance to be promoted in the officialdom of Aquarius Island. The other is because she is too arrogant, and Chang Fenghan and Luan There are often conflicts in the mountains, and they look at each other and hate each other, so that the two mountain gods have no contact.

Xue Ruyi looked at the old man who looked more and more pitiful, and then at the Taoist priest who was setting up a stall with the old god, she thought about it, but still couldn't express what she felt, so she asked, "What's wrong with you? "

Chen Ping shook his head and said with a smile, "Tong Shanjun?"

Tong Wenchang hummed, "You can believe whatever she says, and you don't have to call Chang Fenghan over here to confront her. Later, I will go to Lujiao Mountain myself to see the cultural fortunes of Yuxuan Kingdom in the past hundred years. "

The old man then added, "You can put more tofu and pig intestines next time."

Chen Pingan said with a smile: "You can put a few more pieces of tofu. If you put too much pig intestines, it won't taste right. You won't have the unexpected joy of eating pig intestines."

Tong Wenchang nodded, "That's the reason."

Chen Pingan joked: "Old Tong, your trip to the capital of Yuxuan Kingdom is a bit like a private visit in a micro-service. You, the number one Qingtian master in the Xishan area, can't let Miss Xue down, you must be determined to serve the people Please."

Tong Wenchang smiled, "It's easy to say."

Chen Ping joked, "Miss Xue, is this the governor of the Eight Cases who holds Shangfang's sword in the opera novels, and when he arrived at the local area, he was stopped by you to sue?"

Xue Ruyi laughed and said, "Then why is there no loess padding the road, pouring clean water on the street, and a majestic gong ringing?"

Chen Ping said with a smile: "I said it was a private visit on Weibo."

Tong Wenchang asked: "Miss Xue, if I remember correctly, the former civil judge here was called Hong Zhongyu?"

Xue Ruyi nodded, "I was pushed out to Lingzhou near Luojing, the accompanying capital of the Great Li Dynasty, and served as the City God of the state, and was promoted."

Tong Wenchang hummed, "I remember that Luanshan Huailu mentioned Hong Zhongyu twice, and always wanted to promote him to Luanshan as the head of the picket department. It seems that Hong Zhongyu made an additional request, which must be brought to him. Ji Xiaoping, the yin and yang division of the Town God's Temple, who is the assistant official, can only be transferred together. It is only because there is no suitable position for Ji Xiaoping on Luan Mountain, so this matter has been dragged on. Now Hong Zhongyu has been transferred and promoted to Dali Yizhou City God. , and brought Ji Xiaoping with him to the post, his official career is not bad, it is indeed much better than entering Luanshan Abbot Picket Division and being hated all year round."

Xue Ruyi was speechless. It's like an old country man sitting at the head of a village, casually commenting on the ups and downs of the officialdom of the six ministers and nine ministers of a country's imperial court.

But if the old man didn't make up such an inside story, how could he know about it?

Xue Ruyi kindly reminded: "Old man, it's getting dark. It's easy for ordinary people to make rumors and arrange the inside story of the landscape and officialdom. It's easy to cause trouble. The night wandering gods of all levels in our capital city are not vegetarians."

"If something happens, I will feel flustered if the ghost doesn't knock on the door. I am selfless in my heart and I am not afraid of the ghost knocking on the door."

Tong Wenchang said with a smile: "Miss Xue, since... Taoist Master Chen has personally intervened in this matter, you can rest assured that both Lujiaoshan and Yuxuanguo will give you a satisfactory explanation."

When the old man and the Taoist had finished eating the rice soup, Xue Ruyi sighed, since she was idle anyway, she took the initiative to take the two empty bowls and two pairs of chopsticks, went to the kitchen to pick up the gourd ladle, and took it out of the vat. Spoon water to wash the dishes. When she shook the water stains on her hands and walked out the door, she saw the scene on the other side of the steps. Good guy, these two uncles actually started to smoke, smoking a stick of dry smoke after dinner, looking happy like a fairy.

Tong Wenchang narrowed his eyes and said, "Can I ask, what kind of person is the boss Sword Immortal?"

Chen Pingan suppressed a smile and said: "Talking, witty, amiable."

Tong Wenchang said, "I can't believe it."

Chen Pingan said: "It also depends on whether you are familiar with the boss Sword Immortal."

Tong Wenchang nodded, and asked an inappropriate question, "If you didn't call here today, to deal with this family scandal, would you have to let the newly established government office of Zhao Yao, the abbot of the Ministry of Punishment, go secretly to the Xishan area? "

Chen Pingan said: "I had this plan at the beginning, but I have some personal matters here, and the two should not be mixed together, so I decided to let Brother Tong go through this. Since it is to solve the problems left over from history, who will come?" It's not important to solve it. Just recently, Zhao Yao found a line in the capital of Dali. Brother Tong, I also need to say hello to you in advance. In a few days, I will go to the next county to find my fellow villagers, but I believe the commotion will not be too big."

Tong Wenchang nodded, "You can do whatever you want, Mr. Tong is old and dim-witted. Besides, even if the sky is broken, the person who will clean up the mess in the end will be Dali Guoshi."

Chen Ping suddenly smiled and said, "Do we count as mutual protection by officials?"

Tong Wenchang grinned, "In life, there is revenge and kindness for revenge. I was young too, and I was still a little bit angry when I was eating incense and clay statues."

Since the words of both parties were not concealed, Xue Ruyi was terrified and asked cautiously: "Old man, are you really Tong Shanjun?"

Tong Wenchang nodded.

Xue Ruyi turned to look at Taoist Wu Di, who nodded to indicate that it was true.

Xue Ruyi shifted her gaze again, and said in a trembling voice, "Tong Shanjun, so he is?"

"Miss Xue, what's your problem? I can guess it. In this world, among the Qi practitioners on the mountain, who can beat around the bush and say that they are familiar with the boss sword fairy... from the Great Wall of Sword Qi, we in Aquarius Continent There are still a few people who can casually mobilize a servant of the Dali Criminal Department, and let Tong Wenchang come to Yuxuan Kingdom to drink a bowl of rice soup. Or is it that the girl actually has the answer in her heart, I can’t believe it, and I have to be alone Can outsiders believe it?"

Tong Wenchang picked up the cigarette stick and pointed at the fellows beside him, and said with a smile, "This is Dali's new national teacher, Luobashan Chen Pingan."

Chen Ping smiled and said, "I have to correct it, it's two big bowls of rice soup."

"One bowl and two bowls, charge money?"

"Of course not."

"Miss Xue, please help me to serve another bowl of rice soup. The rice soup cooked by the last hidden official of the Sword Qi Great Wall is not something you can eat if you want it."

Xue Ruyi walked towards the kitchen in a daze, a mess.

Tong Wenchang wondered: "Why did you suddenly change your mind and let me reveal your real identity?"

To help Xue Ruyi seek justice, with Chen Ping's current status, he only needs to inform Ganzhou Shan, and there is no need for him to go to the capital of Yuxuan Kingdom himself.

Chen Pingan said: "It was just this time when I went out of the closed door, I suddenly wanted to understand something."

Tong Wenchang said: "All ears."

Chen Pingan said with a smile: "Three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, the catch of fish is hope, the sun is hope, and fishing nets are also hope."

Tong Wenchang smiled and said, "It's a new way of saying it."

Chen Pingan asked: "Brother Tong, have you not noticed the world in the house, what's wrong?"

Tong Wenchang nodded, "When you ask me that, I can be sure that Xue Ruyi is a fake."

"It seems that the heat is still not enough to completely deceive a mountain god."

Chen Ping got up and said with a smile: "Mi Geng is real. And what I heard and saw next is all real people."

Tong Wenchang said, "We'll wait and see."

When Chen Ping went to the kitchen, Xue Ruyi knocked on the door and entered, still saying, Daoist Wu, congratulations on the housewarming.

—

Like a poor knight-errant boy with a sword on his back, he watched the excitement of a grass-stage theater troupe at a temple fair, and wrote down the specific shapes and structures of those minions, their respective uses, and remembered the different figures of the young, young, clean, ugly, and ugly. , singing and chanting, the young man thought he had to watch a few performances by the big troupe.

A pair of straw sandals stepped on the imperial street, and then walked outside the imperial palace in the capital. The extremely high vermilion lacquer gate was lined with nine nails vertically and nine horizontally. After hesitating for a while, the boy still didn't go to the so-called Jinluan Palace in the opera. There is a river outside the palace, which is actually a good place for fishing.

In the territory of Qingxing Kingdom, as the leader of the Immortal Mansion on the mountain of a country, the Golden Que Sect, recently the entire Immortal Mansion with ethereal celestial spirit and a pure heart for cultivating Taoism is even more festive than the Chinese New Year at the foot of the mountain.

It's a lot of good things.

The battle of Hehuan Mountain wiped out all the evil spirits and ghosts in the separatist feudal town, and wiped out the miasma in a thousand miles around.

Then there is the female patriarch of the Golden Que School, after many years, she was expelled and expelled from the mountain by the genealogy of her master, and she finally regained her genealogical identity of the Lingfei Temple in the old Baishuang Dynasty, and was able to recognize her ancestors and return to her clan.

And together with the disciples of Qingjing Peak and Chuiqing Peak Jinxian Nunnery, the head of Cheng Qian and Zhang Lv Xing Zi, held a meeting, and there was no suspense. Go to the genealogy. You need to know that the Taoist temple that has just been promoted to Lingfei Palace, the master of the temple, Cao Rong, is the direct disciple of the head teacher of Baiyu Jinglu, which means that the Jinque sect who "reduced" Lingfei Palace and descended from the mountain found a mountain at once. Two big backing mountains that are taller than one mountain.

According to the rules on the mountain, from now on, the Jinque Sect can worship Bai Yujing's head teacher Lu Chen as their ancestor, and Lingfei Palace Tianjun Cao Rong as their ancestor.

His Majesty the Emperor of Qingxing Kingdom was in poor health, so he asked His Highness the Crown Prince and Minister of Rites to go up the mountain to congratulate him personally.

The Liu family emperor has been ridiculed by the mountain all these years as the white board emperor. The old emperor has taken great pains in order to let His Royal Highness, who is a concubine and not the eldest son, be able to gain a firm foothold.

Now Qingxing Kingdom's ruling and opposition parties, up and down the mountain, are spreading the news that in the smoky Hehuan Mountain boundary, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally commanded troops, led a team to climb the mountain, and found the long-lost Triple Jade Seal, which was lost and recovered. Among them, one emperor specially used the gold auger New Si Emperor Seal for the crown prince. The Twelve Twelve Treasures of the Liu Clan of the Qingxing Kingdom are finally complete again.

The common people say that this is the destiny of the destiny, and that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is both talented and talented, will be the God-ordained master in the future.

A young man with a sword on his back, in the Xianjia Inn in the capital, sent a letter with his flying sword to the Zhang family in Tiancao County.

Soon, my hometown, Zhuang Qiong, wrote back a letter in person, asking Mr. Chen to wait for a while, and they will rush to the capital of Qingxing Kingdom immediately.

On the same day, Zhang Qiong brought Zhang Caiqin and Hong Yangbo into the inn quickly, and deliberately brought Zhang Yujiao, who is known as a young sword fairy.

In the end, Zhang Yujiao saw the young man "Chen Ren" wearing straw sandals. The two sides had already met each other at Pomo Peak on the border of Hehuan Mountain.

This person is...Chen Jianxian who carved letters on the top of the city? !

Zhang Yujiao was a little dizzy, and even more ashamed. On the way down the Pomo Peak, he didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and even chatted with his companion Jin Lu about the young hermit official.

How could the young Sword Immortal be able to imagine that he was following the righteous master on the mountain road a few steps behind him.

Chen Pingan explained with a smile: "This trip is just a stroll, so I changed my identity and appearance."

Zhang Caiqin suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the previous battle of Hehuan Mountain, which was full of thunder and rain, was full of indescribable mystery from the beginning to the end.

Chen Pingan asked straight to the point: "Patriarch Zhang, Miss Caiqin, in your opinion, what kind of person is Liu Yu, Prince of Qingxing Kingdom?"

Zhang Caiqin hesitated, and the atmosphere in the room became extremely dignified for a while.

Hong Yangbo had no choice but to help warm the field and said: "Prince Liu Yu not only has literary talents, but also wants to do something practical for Qingxing Kingdom."

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Is this really the case?"

Hong Yangbo choked for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

After all, it was he and the young lady who asked the young hermit to come out to attend Liu Yu's coronation ceremony. Chen Shanzhu came to Qingxing Country and Hehuan Mountain ahead of time, saying that he was just hanging out, who would believe it?

If the crown prince Liu Yu has a bad impression in Chen Shanzhu's heart, then today is Chen Shanzhu and the entire Tiancao County Zhang family's xingshi. It's a big idiot, isn't it?

The family, Zhang Qiong, has a temperament of talking one and one, and said with a bold smile: "It may be a bit harsh to say that Liu Yu is ambitious and talented. I have seen this child a few times, and he has a good heart. Anyway, I can't boast about how to understand people's sentiments and know people's hearts well. Compared with Emperor Liu He, I am much worse. As for Liu Yu's shortcomings, I can't say anything, but I can guarantee one thing. For an ordinary noble son of a royal family in a small country, even if he is placed in the surrounding countries, it is considered very good."

Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "Patriarch Zhang means that Liu Yu belongs to a piece of rough jade, or is it worth carving?"

Zhang Qiong nodded, "Master Chen Shan, that's pretty much what I meant."

Don't look at the old Patriarch's smooth speech and fluent answers, but he was actually very panicked.

Zhang Caiqin and Hong Yangbo looked at each other, and they both sensed each other's embarrassment.

Hong Yangbo was even more nervous. For some reason, besides his appearance, the "boy" in front of him seemed to have changed his temperament.

Chen Pingan was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "I have wandered around a few places in the capital. If I had known this earlier, I would never have agreed to go down the mountain to attend the ceremony last time."

Zhang Caiqin looked embarrassed, and tentatively asked: "Then cancel the ceremony?"

Chen Ping rubbed the center of his brows, and said helplessly, "Do you think it's appropriate to do this?"

Probably because newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but Zhang Yujiao dared to ask: "Chen Shanzhu, can you tell me why you don't like Liu Yu so much?"

Chen Pingan said: "The upper beams of the entire Eastern Palace are not straight and the lower beams are crooked. Except for a man named Ren Xiangqi, Zhan Shifu Qing Jilang, who has a little knowledge of economics and general affairs, the rest of the seven Eastern Palace officials I met, the Yamen There are different departments and different official ranks, all of them are people who seek fame and reputation, from Shao Zhan Shi and Tong Shi Sheren of Zhan Shifu, to Zuo Shuzi of Zuochunfang, Sizhilang of Youchunfang, and Prince Xima of Sijing Bureau. , Zhengzi, I have seen it with my own eyes.”

Zhang Yujiao was extremely shocked, and was very surprised. It turned out that Chen Yinguan was really a "hanging out".

Among them, the extremely high-ranking Sixth Fu of the Eastern Palace is more of a false title. It is just an honorary title bestowed by the court on some veterans. In fact, it has nothing to do with the daily teaching assistants of the Eastern Palace. The expensive Zhan Shifu, together with Zuochunfang and Youchunfang and the Sijing Bureau, totaled four East Palace yamen. In order to facilitate the transfer of documents between each other, they were sent to Zhan Shifu to work together. Zhan Shifu was not in the palace. Inside, it was built on the bank of the Yulong River between the imperial city and the outer city, because Qingxing Kingdom's capital occupies a small area, and the yamen is not considered "alienated" from His Majesty the Emperor. Among them, there are two chief officials in the Bureau of Economics and Economics, Prince Xima, who are not high in rank, and are only from the fifth rank. They are mainly responsible for the publication, editing, and collection of books in the Eastern Palace. Job, the old saying in the market says that the prime minister's concierge is a third-rank official, let alone the crown prince's official in the East Palace, the old man in the hidden residence? Moreover, these noble officials can use this as a ladder for the transfer of Hanlin officials.

Chen Pingan added, "And most of the officials here think that Prince Liu Yu is a fool who is easy to deceive."

The implication is that Liu Yu was regarded as a fool by this group of officials of his own East Palace, and you, the Zhang family of Tiancao County who helped Qingxing Kingdom and Luoba Mountain to be a matchmaker, were even more fools, and I, Chen Pingan, as the owner of Luoba Mountain , Invisibly became the biggest fool.

Chen Pingan said: "I don't mind adding icing on the cake to anyone, but because of my appearance, some things are wrong, and I even lose the possibility of correcting mistakes."

Zhang Yujiao seems to understand but not understand.

Zhang Qiong asked curiously: "Mr. Chen, what should we do now?"

Chen Ping said with a smile: "It's not my habit to give up halfway. Since they are all borrowed guests, let's work together with the Zhang family of Tiancao County to help clean the courtyard."

Zhang Qiong expressed his gratitude with a sigh of relief, "It's a great honor."

Recently, the temples of Qingxing Kingdom have indeed been quite lively. First, Zuo Shuzi, as the chief official of Zuochunfang in Zhan Shifu, submitted a memorial, suggesting that the court prohibit "outsiders" from filling certain noble positions. The Ministry of Officials did not have objections to this, and even the You Shuzi, who was a senior official in the Zhan Shifu, publicly sang against it, insisting that the quality of an official's character has nothing to do with his birth. Then, the minister of the Ministry of Industry requested that the Ministry of Industry, which has heavy government affairs, be promoted to the six "forward" government offices. For this reason, he did not hesitate to quarrel with the officials of the Ministry of War in the court hall. And the coronation ceremony of His Highness the Crown Prince became the next top priority for the officials of the Qingxing Kingdom's Ritual Department. For those few second- and third-rank bosses from various ministries who have left the stage, you come and I go back and forth. As long as our Ministry of Etiquette successfully organizes this celebration, it will be a great achievement.

The Emperor Liu of Qingxing Kingdom is indeed old, and has to think about how the crown prince can successfully inherit the Datong. In order to make this ceremony look more important, many dignitaries left Beijing one after another. Explicit or implied, no expense was spared in inviting people to the ceremony. The farce of Qingxing Kingdom making an exception this time and inviting monks from other countries to watch the ceremony soon stopped, just because it was said that there would be a big man whose identity was still shrouded in clouds and fog to visit Qingxing Kingdom.

The more it spread, the more exaggerated it became. At first, it was a certain respected and respected Yuanying old fairy, then it was a certain real emperor from the ancestral hall of Shengaozong, and then it was an old man from the ancestral hall of a certain Jiang family in Yunlin. In the end, it became even more exaggerated. It is rumored that there are noses and eyes, and it is said that the one who was invited by Mrs. Liu was none other than Li Bo Caoyong, one of the two dukes of Dadu in Aquarius Continent!

You Qingxing Country, why don't you just say that you hired Chen Pingan from Luoba Mountain?

Before Chen Ping called Zhang's party from Tiancao County.

The golden house where one of the princes washes horses hides his beauty. The night was heavy, and the rain hit the plantains.

The official was young and in his prime, and when he was fighting, he got off his horse out of breath, wanting nothing more, stretched out his hand to rub the white ball of Mei Jiao Niang who was lying beside him, thinking about his thoughts.

The woman sat up, stretched out her hand to roll up her messy black hair, and asked with a smile, everyone in the capital said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will soon ascend the throne and become emperor, sir, can you be promoted soon?

My master is a minister who has been an official in the hidden mansion for many years, and when His Royal Highness puts on the dragon robe and sits on the dragon chair, hey, is there any better thing in the world than this that one person can ascend to heaven alone? Maybe not. She just didn't know if she had the luck in this life to be able to see His Majesty's face up close.

The official glanced sideways at the white-flowered scenery, probably because he didn't like her radiance when she mentioned Prince Liu Yu, so he sneered, "Don't think that His Highness is so great, it's just a piece of clothing. Man, woman or woman."

She smiled prettily, dazzled the man for a while, he sighed, he had already fought two battles tonight, and he was powerless.

When he sat up, the woman lay on the bed familiarly, with her jade body lying horizontally, she stretched out her hand to pick up the messy clothes on the ground, and with a snap, she was hit and trembling.

She gave him a wink and helped him put on his clothes. The man twitched the corners of his mouth, knowing that she would not chew his tongue when she was out of the house. Whoever throws something big and empty to him at the square, he thinks it is a good strategy for governing the country."

After getting along with His Highness the Crown Prince for a long time, you will find that it is just like that.

Except for a good pregnancy, it cannot be said that there is no ability, it is just false, and there are a lot of sages and sages in the book, but what is the use, it is nothing more than gold and jade.

Just talking about why the right concubine and the left concubine are contradicting each other, isn't it because of their different backgrounds, and behind them are a large group of scholars who are not well-known for the time being? It doesn't matter whether you are a prince, grandson, literary scholar, or an idle scholar with no way out, Liu Yu, do you really know what true talent and real learning are? A few poems of homage, and a few games of chessboard players, can you know how much talent and learning the opponent has, and can determine whether the opponent has a good way to govern the country? Half a bucket of water, I like to pretend to know what I don’t know. Just like him, who was the prince's horse-washing horse, he just studied how many chess books and seals in private, and practiced how many words on the stack of postcards, only to write the hairpin that His Highness the Prince loves the most. Hua Xiaokai?

On the other side of the wall, there was a silent boy with a sword on his back.

Before dawn, a car was driving to participate in the morning court. The lord Zuo Shuzi in the carriage lowered his head and breathed heavily. It rained heavily. This section of the road was extremely muddy and bumpy, and it would not become smooth until we reached the Royal Street. The carriage passed by a row of stalls that were open early and late at night, and there were all kinds of food, all of which were waiting for the court officials. The vendors chatted with each other occasionally, and they would sigh that it was not easy to be an official.

The coachman stopped the carriage deftly, and threw a handful of copper coins onto the table, maybe because he didn't grasp the strength well, or maybe it was on purpose, the few copper coins just rolled to the ground.

It was a regular customer, and the vendor hurriedly trotted a few steps, bowed his head, and passed a food box to the driver according to the old rules. Mess with a breakfast. The vendor rubbed his hands, waited until the carriage passed, then bent down to pick up a few copper coins in the mud, and then gently rubbed his fingertips on his apron. These officials who are qualified to go to the early court are more particular than each other, and they are very clean. .

Another carriage was parked nearby, and the vendors all practiced sharp eyes, and at a glance, they knew that it was the carriage of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Mr. Minister Minister is having a headache about the reserves of a country's arsenal, how to clear up the mountains of weapons in several warehouses of the Ministry of War.

The undercurrents in the court and the open and secret fights between the government offices have nothing to do with the common people. Anyway, it is a good world of singing and dancing, and there is no need to fight.

Whenever I put away the breakfast stall and find that there are a few more silver coins than yesterday, today is a good day. If there is a few pennies less, I will try to earn more tomorrow.

A boy in straw sandals spent more than a dozen Wen and was not full. In the past few days, I have been buying breakfast here, chewing slowly.

There is only one official named Ren Xiangqi, who seems to get out of the carriage every day, and sits here to have breakfast, absent-minded, often muttering, and habitually counting with his fingers, as if he is settling accounts. As soon as the young man inquired about it, he realized that he was quite famous, and that he was born in a serious imperial examination biography, and that Ren Xiangqi was actually from a family of a prefect in a certain place. Bian was sent to Zhan Shifu and sat on the bench for many years. Many of the exams that were not as good as his in the same year have made a fortune. The vendors here are very well-informed. The handle is Ren Xiangqi's same year, the lower-ranked second-class Jinshi, the Han family in white clothes, but now he is riding on the head. The boy in straw sandals asked curiously, how did Qing Jilang participate in the early court since he was not a big official. The vendors laughed endlessly, and asked, did you not see Qing Jilang's carriage, and the direction was wrong?

In the Zhan Shi Mansion by the Yulong River, a few officials on duty at night were yawning profusely, joking about the recent anecdotes in Zuo Chunfang or the Bureau of Economics and Economics, in order to refresh themselves and drive away sleepiness.

Youchunfang, a few officials, teapots filled with wine, each tacitly took a sip, boasting that the country is a national policy, what is lacking is not talent, but an official status.

In the relatively most leisurely Department of Economics and Economics, they are chatting about which rouge horse a certain lord of a certain yamen has surrendered recently, which meritorious descendant fought with which prince's son, and who bought a big house Son, which rare books and whose authentic calligraphy and paintings have been bought.

It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Qingxing Kingdom has raised a large group of rich and idle people who are concerned about the country and the people. Just waiting for you Liu Yu to ascend the throne, you can show your ambitions?

The boy in straw sandals with a talisman on his forehead just walked through the corridors and aisles of the various government offices, swaggering, as if entering a land of no one, occasionally blowing the talisman lightly, ups and downs.

In the palace, the old emperor Liu He temporarily summoned more than a dozen important officials of the temple, His Royal Highness Liu Yu, and Cheng Qian, the current leader of the Jinque Sect, the protector of the country, to participate in the discussion tonight.

After all, such a big man who is far away in the sky and higher than the sky, can't help but be careless when he visits his country. All the details need to be carefully considered, and there must be no mistakes. What kind of fairy wine to drink, how to choose seasonal fruits and vegetables and special pastries , the shape of the chair table, the selection of antiques and calligraphy and painting books in the house, where to put them, etc., are all knowledge. The Ministry of Etiquette has just discussed a preliminary plan. After Chen Shanzhu arrived in Qingxing Country, the address where he will stay, there are three records for the time being at the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites. The Xianjia Inn in the Songtao Pavilion and the Chuiqing Peak in the Jinque School have their own advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of choosing the Honglu Temple Hall is that the imperial court can fully control all links. Chen Shanzhu mistakenly thought that Qing Xingguo was not caring enough, and was perfunctory. The location of Songtao Pavilion is good, and it is in the capital city. However, the imperial court needs to temporarily build a fairy palace. The Ministry of Industry has already prepared enough materials on the mountain. It is almost like "copying" a fairy palace. But this requires bargaining with the Songtao Pavilion. The Ministry of Households allocated a large amount of fairy money for this purpose, and only waited for His Majesty the Emperor to issue an "imperial construction". If it is said that the location of the Jinque faction, the aura-rich fairy mansion, the surrounding martial law and many other matters can be omitted, the only problem is that it is too far away from the capital, and His Majesty the Emperor obviously hopes to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to let the prince Liu Yu has had a lot of contact with Chen Shanzhu, who was born in the lineage of literary sages. If the two people's personalities and words are congenial, for the Liu family Guozuo, it will be a hundred years and a thousand years of peace of mind.

Therefore, deep down in His Majesty's heart, His Majesty still prefers to choose the Songtao Pavilion as the place where Master Chen Shan will stay.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment said softly: "Your Majesty, the Wucheng Bingma Division just got the news that Zhang Qiong and his party rushed to the Songtao Pavilion tonight. According to the rules, our priests did not track down who they were going to see."

Liu He said with a smile: "According to the intelligence, I heard that the behind-the-scenes bosses of the inns on the Songtao Pavilion are all surnamed Dong? After all, Boss Dong and Shanzhu Chen are still from the same village."

Cheng Qian nodded and said, "Dong Shuijing, nicknamed Dong Banzhou, and Chen Shanzhu are both natives of Huaihuang County, Longzhou."

Liu He sighed: "A Lizhu cave is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. The younger generation is even more outstanding."

Among the ten young people from Aquarius Island selected that year, in addition to Ma Kuxuan, who was the top of the list, there was also Xie Ling from the Longquan Sword Sect. It seems that the female Sword Immortal named Sui Youyou is also a genealogy monk of Luopo Mountain. There are still different opinions about Sui Youyou's background, and there is no conclusion. In fact, all the qi practitioners on Baopingzhou Mountain knew it well. If it wasn't for some reasons, plus the young hermit official who had already been ranked among the top ten young people in the world, and the current suzerain of Longquan Sword Sect, Liu Xianyang, There is also Gu Can who ascended to the sky in one step and became the direct disciple of Zheng Juzhong in Baidi City. There are ten young people in Aquarius Island. If we only talk about their hometown and background, regardless of the current Taoist place, then the younger generation of monks in Lizhu Dongtian can completely occupy half of the country.

The protector of the country, who looked like a child, smiled and said: "I have to admit that the luck of this place in Longzhou is at its peak, and it is the most magnificent in the world."

An old minister of the Ministry of War asked curiously: "Song Mu, King of Daliluo, Zhu, King of Donghai Sea, Lord Chen Shan, and Gu Can, they all lived in the same alley back then? Can you meet each other often?"

Cheng Qian nodded and said: "That alley is called Niping Alley, it seems that the ancestral home of Cao Xi, the sword fairy of Nan Po Suozhou, is also in this alley, but the old sword fairy Cao has been away from home for a long time."

Old Shangshu held back for a long time before he could make a concise two-word evaluation, "Terrible."

If it were him, assuming that he was a prophet and knew about the future achievements of these people, twenty or thirty years ago, when the Lizhu Cave just opened, when his body was still strong, he would go to the so-called mud bottle alley , can't you have a trembling heart and a wobble with your feet? Can you imagine that a young man who is an apprentice in a kiln worker is the last hidden official of the Great Wall of Sword Qi in the future? How do you greet each other when you meet in an alley? A young girl who may return with a bucket of water from the iron lock well is the only true dragon in the world. She will face the two throne monsters alone in the battle of the old dragon city. In the end, the Confucian Temple decided that she would be in charge of the East China Sea. ? Since it is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, they just don't know that Gu Can, who is known as the "madman", and Song Mu, the most powerful vassal king of the Great Li Dynasty, what was their relationship in the early years, whether they were harmonious or not?

Probably due to the approaching of the Qingming Festival, there was continuous heavy rain, but the recent atmosphere of the Zhuzhi School's Caiyu Mountain, and the state of mind of the genealogy monks, were like the sun shining brightly.

It was only because Caiyu Mountain, which already belonged to Zhengyang Mountain, only spent 30 Guyu coins to buy it back after the leader Guo Huifeng took a trip to Yixian Peak alone.

As for how Guo Huifeng talked with the sword fairy suzerain Zhuhuang, she didn't say exactly how they talked.

The monks of the Zhuzhi Sect only found out through some gossip from the peaks of Zhengyang Mountain that it was the Zhuhuang who personally appeared at the foot of the Zushan Mountain to receive him.

At the same time, the relationship between the Zhuzhi faction and Zhengyang Mountain remains the same, and it will not become the latter's downfall, but the annual "tribute" share remains the same, or the relationship of spending money to buy asylum.

Bai Ni, who is the mining officer of Caiyu Mountain today, just entered the mountain, and saw a familiar face squatting at the entrance of an old pit.

The old man walked quickly, near the entrance of the old pothole, slowed down a little, and joked with the young man, "You are a dog, so well-informed?"

That's good, save a lot of trouble finding someone, now that the Zhuzhi faction has overcome the difficulties, it's okay to say that it's a blessing in disguise, so the outsider Ji Ji, who was kicked out by himself not long ago to avoid the limelight, can come back and resume his duties. It's just why the Zhu Zongzhu is willing to treat the Zhuzhi faction so favorably and take the initiative to show her goodwill. The last time Guo Huifeng was at the foot of the Yixian Peak, he didn't understand it. After returning to the Zhuzhi faction to hold a meeting in the Patriarch Hall, she just said the final result of the discussion between the two parties. Let Zhang Lv Lingxie restrain his monk's words in the near future, don't get carried away, lest some young and energetic sword immortals in Zhengyang Mountain hear it, feel unhappy in their hearts, and come to find fault again.

With his hands in his sleeves, Chen Ji asked with a puzzled face, "Uncle Bai, what news?"

Seeing that he didn't seem to be pretending to be stupid, Uncle Bai hesitated for a moment, but told the other party a general idea from his heart. It was nothing more than an improvement in the relationship with Zhengyang Mountain. The head of Guo and the master of the bamboo clarified all the misunderstandings, and won the victory for the Zhuzhi faction. He had lived in peace with Zhengyang Mountain for hundreds of years, so he planned to let Chen Jiu restore his status as an outsider, and asked Chen Jiu if he would like it.

The young man shouted angrily: "It was Uncle Bai who drove me away, and now it is Uncle Bai who invited me back to Caiyu Mountain. How dare you, Uncle Bai, walk the fish here?"

Uncle Bai smiled and said, "Don't act like a good boy when you get a cheap price. You can just say it. Would you like to resume your status as a knowledgeable guest? If you nod, don't be too happy. There is also a hard job waiting for you, but don't let your energy go in vain." , can raise salary.”

The old man's eyes were kind, looking at this young man whose boots were covered with mud from the mountains, it must be that it is really not easy to make a living outside, otherwise this kid would not have returned to Caiyu Mountain holding his nose, putting himself in his shoes and putting himself in his youth , being chased away, I really don't want to serve you anymore. As an outsider, the salary is twelve snowflakes per month as usual, and the bamboo stick pie includes food and housing, and there is almost no additional expenses. What's more, Zhike is responsible for dealing with people, if he is a little more active, and if he gets some kickbacks, as long as he doesn't get too dark, with Bai Bo's kindness and the old man's love and partiality for the old man, he will definitely turn a blind eye to it. One eye, not to mention a lot of oil and water, let the young people save some daughter-in-law money with Zhuzhipai, after all, it is possible. But if you say that your old heart is higher than the sky, and you fell in love with a certain fairy from the Daxian Mansion, such as Su Jia in Zhengyang Mountain, then you will be fine, sleep more and dream more.

Chen Ping said with a smile: "Uncle Bai, I came back to Caiyu Mountain this time to enjoy the blessings. Let me talk about it first. What is the hard work? I have to hear it before making a decision. Don't fall into a trap." "

Uncle Bai smiled and said, "The Caiyushan mining project that was put on hold has now resumed work, but both the head of Guo and Zhang Zhanglu feel that the previous method is not very reliable. The ideas raised here, I have brought a few words to the Patriarch Hall. I never thought that most of the members of the Patriarch Hall thought it was good, so I asked for an errand for you to manage the accounts. How about it? ?”

The personal promise of a suzerain sword fairy is more reliable than any vows made by burning talismans and submitting ultimatums. This means that for at least three to five hundred years, or even longer, the Bamboo Emperor will remain the suzerain of Zhengyang Mountain for as long as one day. Then the Zhuzhi School, which was once precarious, no longer has any internal and external troubles.

Just like the last meeting in the Patriarch's Hall, Bai Ni, who used to only listen and not talk, rarely took the initiative to ask if he could accept Dianke Chen Jiu as his direct disciple.

It was obvious that he wanted to cultivate the other party well, and he was going to give the mining officer a "hereditary replacement" to the young man surnamed Chen.

The leader Guo Huifeng also had a good impression of the young people who often went fishing by the river, and the leader Ling Xie took a special look at the old files and found that this outsider had a good reputation in his own school, so she didn't have to In this kind of trivial matter, he competed with the head of the sect, so Chen Jiu became a direct disciple of the Patriarch Hall, which was almost a certainty.

As for Bai Ni himself, after having this idea, his mood became more and more relaxed. He always felt that in the future, he would raise a flock of geese and ducks, build a vegetable garden, fish by the river, and read books if he looked at thousands of mountains.

Young people can't be heartless, but they can't be too tall, and they shouldn't be too sharp. They have to let the world and human affairs help them sharpen their edges and corners.

So the old man didn't tell Chen Jiu his true thoughts.

One day when I retire, let Chen Jiu stand on top, and there is a chair in the Zhuzhi Patriarch Hall.

First become your own heirloom status, and after a few years of qualifications, take advantage of the opportunity to serve as the next mining officer. The old man is paving the way for the young.

"Uncle Bai, to be honest, it's really not that good."

Chen Pingan rubbed his cheeks, "Will it be overkill?"

Bai Ni laughed angrily, and slapped the young man on the shoulder, "Well, well, well, well, Chen Zhike has a high level of ambition, and he is so overqualified!"

Chen Pingan said: "Uncle Bai, I understand your kindness, but I came here just to say goodbye to you. Last time I was worried that Uncle Bai would think too much, so I left in a hurry on purpose."

Bai Ni asked suspiciously: "The stinky boy found a place to stay so quickly? Don't it be that Zhengyang Mountain? Why, just drank a bit of wine, and climbed to the high branch of Xiahou Sword Immortal of Shuilong Peak?"

Chen Ping couldn't help laughing and said, "Even if I dare to go, Zhengyang Mountain won't accept me."

Bai Ni thought for a while, and didn't pretend to be a veteran, he must be young, so he just said: "Then I won't ask any more questions, you young people have your own ideas, it's good to venture outside, anyway, outside If you are successful, I am happy for you. If you are doing well, don’t be pretentious. Go back to Cai Yushan, and Uncle Bai will always have a bowl of food for you. The bamboo branch school is not a big school, but the style of the school is good after all. Yes, there are not so many intrigues and dirty things."

Chen Pingan smiled and narrowed his eyes, stretched out his sleeves with both hands, clasped his fists and shook it a few times, and said, "Boy, thank Uncle Bai here."

Bai Ni smiled and said: "It's a pity that the head of Guo once praised you a few times in the discussion of the Patriarch Hall."

The young man rubbed his hands in surprise and said, "Could it be, could it be?"

Bai Ni scolded with a smile, "Guo's head is a golden core immortal, can he look up to you? How dare you kid have a bad stomach and want to eat soft food all day long?"

Chen Ping smiled and said: "Uncle Bai, to be honest, I already have a daughter-in-law. I have a very good relationship with her in a place that can be regarded as my second hometown. She has a good family background, a good temper, and a good cultivation qualification , but at home, I have the final say, heh, when I am away from home, my face is so good, no one dares to say that I eat soft food, drink casually outside, and come back when I want to go home , there is a bowl of hangover soup waiting for me..."

The old man smiled and said: "Stop bragging about this kind of bullshit. A man can be so hard-headed, and he would never put it on his mouth. I see you kid, you are out drinking with friends and you come home late, and you are often locked out of the door." .”

Chen Pingan was shocked and said: "Uncle Bai can do it, come here?"

The old man smiled and said, "Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig run?"

Chen Ping gave the old man a thumbs up.

"Old, it's a coincidence that your surname is also Chen. If you want to learn how to eat soft rice, you can learn from that person. Chen Yinguan from Luopo Mountain can become a Taoist couple with Ning Yao, and the soft rice is the best in the world."

"Yes, yes, Chen Ping'an is really not a thing, Mr. Ye is still a bachelor, useless."

At this moment, the old man noticed that the young man's body was tense, he turned his head stiffly, and then had a smiling face. It's hard to say whether the smile is bright or flattering.

Following the old line of sight, Bai Ni saw a heroic squint-eyed woman with a slender figure and a sword case on her back. She just stared at the young man.

Ning Yao smiled and saluted the old man, "My name is Ning Yao, and I am the one who was given soft food."

Bai Ni was stunned for a moment, clasped her fists in return, and said with a smile, "Young lady is joking."

Chen Ping jumped up, walked quickly towards Ning Yao, and asked in his heart, "Why are you here?"

Unexpectedly, he didn't notice the slightest sign. When Ning Yao came, Chen Ping'an was kept in the dark, and he gasped after realizing it. The matter of the head of Guo... Uncle Bai misunderstood me!

Ning Yao said in a heartfelt voice: "Boss Sword Immortal once reminded me to retreat in the future before the sky weeps. I must hide from the rain and wait until the rain breaks before going out. I have nothing to do. Come and have a look."

Chen Ping grinned, "I'm already in the Immortal Realm, the Great Sword Immortal."

Putting it on the Great Wall of Sword Qi, a sword cultivator in the Immortal Realm is called a Great Sword Immortal, but it is not a curse word.

Ning Yao nodded and said, "I see."

Chen Pingan asked tentatively, "When did you get here?"

Ning Yao twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't worry, after you talk about the head of Guo and 'Could it be, could it be'."

Chen Ping laughed and said: "Uncle Bai is an old bachelor. He has the same virtue as the Jianqi Great Wall wine shop. He likes to chat nonsense and find something to talk about. In fact, we don't usually chat like this."

Ning Yao smiled and said, "The conversation at the wine table is farting, I know it very well."

Just the wine and the table.

Chen Ping'an looked complicated for a moment, and asked, "Could it be you?"

On the way of practice, there is almost no serious retreat for Ning Yao. She has the weight of serious retreat. Chen Pingan has personally experienced it in the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

Ning Yao looked playful: "Two realms higher than you."

Fourteen realms.
