Sword of Coming

Chen Ping'an sat up and turned around to look. Wei Bo had come here from Piyun Mountain, wearing a snow-white robe and a golden earring hanging from his ear.

No wonder that among the five mountains of Aquarius Continent, Piyun Mountain has the largest number of female officials.

Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "Is Zheng Dafeng's drinking capacity so bad now? Wei Shanjun is not full yet? Want to come to me for a second meal?"

Zheng Dafeng was probably too drunk, so he didn't even return to his house in Luolu Mountain, but just found a place to sleep at the Tiger Mansion.

Wei Bo rubbed his brows and drank, but it was easy to get drunk. "There are two things, one is public and the other is private. If it is not a business matter, I will not come to disturb the mountain master's Qingxiu in the middle of the night."

Chen Ping'an asked doubtfully: "There are still official matters between you and me?"

Wei Bao was furious and said: "General Cao Wu of Yuzhou has something to discuss with you. According to the military regulations of Dali, he can communicate with me directly with the secret military talisman. Now he is in the Etiquette Department of Shanjun Mansion. I'm a guest. I guess I'll come to Luopo Mountain to see you after drinking tea."

Chen Ping'an said strangely: "Yuzhou is not far from our state. As a rule, the general of a state can equip a private ferry, so why disturb the Tiger Mansion? Besides, Cao Wu really has urgent military affairs, and the mountain of your Beiyue prince is in the general." Near the residence of the mansion, we can send the prince mountain god directly to the gate of Luolu Mountain. Why, he deliberately went in a big circle. Does this general Cao want to use the name of Wei Shanjun to suppress me?"

Wei Bo smiled and said: "I'm just helping to deliver the message tonight anyway. Cao Wu is worried that you will find a reason to refuse. He said that he just visited the logging yard in Yuzhang County, Hongzhou and met Lin Zhengcheng, the new official."

Cao Wu's true identity is recorded in the Beiyue Mountain Lord's Mansion. Cao Wu's real name is Xu Mao, and he was the poet who wrote poetry in the early years of Shihao Kingdom. At that time, the Great Li cavalry went south and was about to launch a large-scale attack on the old Zhuying Dynasty. As one of the main vassals of the latter, the Shihao Kingdom showed an extremely firm stance. In order to delay the steps of the Great Li Iron Cavalry, the two countries fought, and the battle was fierce. Cao Wu was unable to protect his lord, resulting in the sudden death of the prince Han Jingxin, and had to He turned to Su Gaoshan, the hunting envoy of Dali, and first became a scout commander. Over the years, he gradually became a general of Yuzhou of Dali with his military exploits. In his early years, he married a legitimate daughter of the Yuan family of Shangzhu Kingdom. Cao Wu had a good reputation among the frontier army and officials.

Chen Ping'an frowned slightly, "Then I will go to the Ceremony Department with you and take the initiative to meet this General Yuzhou who is here."

Wei Bo smiled and said, "Is this a way to save face?"

Chen Ping'an said seriously: "Now the entire Dali imperial court only has a few Yizhou generals and half a parent officer!"

If Cao Wu did not go to the barbaric world, there were only two possibilities. One was to sit on the bench, and his road to promotion in the officialdom of Dali had come to an end. The other was that Cao Wu was already in the heart of the emperor and was regarded by Emperor Song He. One of the candidates to head the Ministry of War in the future will gradually break away from the Dali border army system, leaving Cao Wu to just accumulate local qualifications and connections, and in the future he will have the opportunity to become the person promoted to the central position of the imperial court by the Yuan family of Shangzhu Kingdom.

Then Chen Ping'an followed Wei Bo to Piyun Mountain. In an elegant and quiet courtyard, he saw the Yuzhou general who was drinking tea, and beside him sat a female official burning incense and making tea.

Chen Pingan clasped his fists and said with a smile: "General Cao, we have not seen each other for twenty years, right?"

Cao Wu had already stood up to greet him, clasped his fists in return, and said with a hearty smile: "General Cao Wu of Yuzhou, Xu Mao, an old man of Shihao Kingdom, I have met Master Chen, but I haven't seen him for many years, Master Chen."

As the host, Wei Bo smiled and asked the chief official of the etiquette department who was responsible for making tea to entertain the guests not to be busy, and let him personally greet the two distinguished guests. The female official who was born in Jiangshui Zhengshen in the old Beiyue area of ​​Dali was a little disappointed. The young hermit official who saw the real person for the first time gave him a blessing and left. The two mountains, Piyun and Luopo, are so close, and Tiger and Chen Yinguan have a recognized relationship with each other. However, for some reason, Chen Yinguan rarely visits Piyun Mountain. Many officials in her etiquette department are worried about this. Feeling deeply regretful, she even "asked" the tiger several times to invite the young hermit official to come and sit in the Ceremony Department. Unfortunately, Wei Bo just ignored him.

After Chen Ping'an sat down, he took the tea cup from Wei Bo and asked, "I wonder what Brother Xu wants to see me for tonight?"

Xu Mao said: "His Majesty the Emperor is about to secretly tour the south. During this period, he will be stationed at the Yuzhang County Logging Institute. As the general of Yuzhou who is also in charge of the military affairs of Hongzhou, I must ensure that your Majesty makes this trip. However, the group of monks accompanying the army in the General's Mansion now, Most of them are young people, and experienced monks who have accompanied the army have been deployed to the battlefields of the wild world. Therefore, I was worried that if I encountered some unexpected situation, I would inevitably handle it improperly, so I boldly wanted to ask Master Chen to visit Hongzhou. Yuzhang County.”

Chen Pingan answered the question, "What does Dean Lin have to say about this matter? Do you have any suggestions?"

Xu Mao said: "Master Lin also feels that his logging institute is limited by its own responsibilities and member allocation, and it is difficult to take care of all aspects. It requires more efforts from the General Yuzhou Mansion."

Typical official tone, vague words, seemingly saying nothing, but also seeming to say everything.

Chen Ping'an smiled, nodded and said: "I understand, please give me an exact date, Brother Xu. Even if I can't rush to Yuzhang County in person, I will let the sword cultivator in the mountain guard me secretly. After all, this matter involves court secrets." , and I only have a low-level peace and quiet plaque issued by the Ministry of Defense of Dali. Logically speaking, without the order of the Ministry of Punishment, Luo Po Shan and I cannot participate in this matter, so Brother Xu can jointly inform the Ministry of Punishment and the Temple of the Ministry of Rites together with the Tiger Mansion. I would like to sacrifice the officials to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. With the exact answer from the court, I can arrange the candidates and itinerary early."

The Yuzhou general was immediately relieved and raised his glass with both hands, "Xu Mao substitutes tea for wine and thanks Shanzhu Chen!"

Chen Ping'an also drank a cup of tea and chatted with Xu Mao about the current situation of Shihao Kingdom. Xu Mao quickly said goodbye and left.

After sending the Yuzhou general to the door, Wei Bo used the magic power of the tiger again, and Xu Mao was able to retreat to the mountains and rivers and return directly to the secret room of the general's mansion.

Wei Bo smiled and said: "Obviously, General Cao is planning to use you as a favor. After all, there are not many people in Aquarius Island who can hire Yin Guan. Regardless of whether you will come to Hongzhou Yuzhang County in person, even if Only one or two Luolu Mountain Genealogy members showed up there. I believe His Majesty the Emperor will look at General Cao with admiration. Now I am more curious about how Cao Wu talked with Lin Zhengcheng. Do you want me to help you find out? So as not to be tricked by Cao Wu. Got a loophole."

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "Forget it, I was hesitant about going to Yuzhang County."

Without Chen Ping'an's initiative to ask, Wei Bo talked about the so-called private matter, "Zheng Dafeng said that he now has three choices: stay in Luolu Mountain and not be a gatekeeper, find a mountain top under the vassal vassal, and teach boxing in the future. That is to go to Tongyezhou to hang out with Cui Dongshan. The third option is for him to go to Qidu, but if you want to do this, you and I need to jointly recommend it, so he is in a dilemma."

Chen Pingan said angrily: "Is this guy out of his mind?"

You, Zheng Dafeng, are a pure martial artist. Why did you go to Dadu and become the Duke of Dadu? !

Indeed, there are now Changchun Hou Yanghua and Linli Bo Cao Yong in Dadu in the central part of Aquarius Continent, but there is still a lack of a Shuijun with the title of "gong".

To facilitate this matter, no matter who fills the vacancy, the Dali Imperial Court certainly has the right to recommend it. Although it still needs a nod of approval from the Confucian Temple, it is just a formality. This is not the same as Aquarius Continent's desire to have an additional sect prefix. In the Immortal Mansion, the situation is very different, because this Dadu was excavated by the Dali Dynasty. The Confucian Temple will not point fingers with the Dali Song family on this matter. As for this high-power but unresolved Dadu God It is not an exaggeration to say that all forces are competing for the position. Therefore, if Zheng Dafeng really plans to go to Qidu to "pick up the leaks", in addition to needing Wei Bo's help to bridge the gap, in fact, the one who can really finalize the matter has to refuse to take the position. Chen Ping'an from Dali Imperial Master.

Wei Bo leaned against the door and said helplessly: "I scolded him in the same way at that time, but he said it was the master's intention. What else can I say? It's not like you don't know that Zheng Dafeng respects his master the most."

Chen Pingan took a deep breath.

Wei Bo glanced at Chen Ping'an, who had a gloomy expression, and said with a smile: "Why are you so rude? You monks have been watching for a long time, and our civil and military heroes have achieved the status of gods. Isn't it a kind of reaching the same goal through different paths?"

When he was drinking at the Yuefu Division, Zheng Dafeng was drunk, wiping his mouth, and said with a smile that if he could really become such a high-ranking official, and if Piyunshan followed suit, wouldn't it be that the mountains and rivers would blossom, and good brothers would indeed share weal and woe? No matter how rich or noble you are, you will have the opportunity to have a divine title.

Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "Zheng Dafeng is different from you."

If it is just a good thing and it is nothing more than a waste of favors, Chen Pingan will certainly not have any hesitation. Even if it requires some exchange of interests between Luopo Mountain and the Dali Song family, for Zheng Dafeng, it is all trivial. The problem is Zheng Dafeng The reasons for embarking on this spiritual path are extremely complicated and have far-reaching consequences. It cannot be said whether he is "making the same mistakes again" or not. The key is that Chen Pingan still doesn't know whether Zheng Dafeng remembers "what happened back then." In short, in Chen Pingan's view , this matter can be "waited and seen". After all, a new great path will appear in Tongyezhou. If Zheng Dafeng really wants to seek a divine position, he will definitely not have the regret of "no place to arrange in the world" in the future.

Chen Pingan asked: "What do Zheng Dafeng think? When he was drinking with you, did he show any tendency in his conversation?"

Wei Bo smiled and said: "I blame me for not saying it clearly. It's not as bad as you think. Brother Dafeng was at the wine table earlier, and he had already begun to figure out which female landscape gods to invite to the twenty divisions of his own water house who had not yet filled their vacancies. , please let me make a list for him. Anyway, it must not be inferior to Piyun Mountain."

Chen Pingan was so aggrieved that he couldn't help but cursed.

I don’t know whether he was scolding Zheng Dafeng for being broad-minded or scolding Wei Bo for “lying about military intelligence.”

"If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and tomorrow you will be worried."

Wei Bo smiled and said: "Master Chen is very busy with his affairs, so it is rare for him to come to our Piyun Mountain. Since we are all here, we must take this opportunity to have a few drinks tonight."

Chen Pingan said: "As far as our relationship is concerned, no matter how much wine we drink, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water!"

On the other hand, when Zheng Dafeng climbed the mountain before, he kept hinting to Wei Shanjun that he would drink some meat tonight and not make the soup too watery.

It's just that Wei Bo pretended not to understand Zheng Dafeng's hint. Fortunately, Zheng Dafeng didn't complain about anything after drinking some plain wine in the end.

Wei Bo reached out and grabbed Shanzhu Chen's arm, pulled him back into the room and sat down, and then snapped his fingers. Soon a female official in palace makeup wearing a jingle came into the room, bringing wine and food. She was just responsible. There are as many as three female officers carrying food boxes. Could it be that they can finish a plate of food with just two or three chopsticks? Otherwise, it would just be a discussion between two people, and there would be no need to go to such great lengths. Moreover, when they arranged the wine utensils and placed the dishes, their movements were especially gentle and slow, and their beautiful eyes were full of hope.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said from his heart: "Weishanjun, do you think this is repaying kindness with enmity?"

Wei Bo smiled and said: "If you want to accuse me, why bother?"

Presumably, within the past six months, our etiquette department will no longer complain about being busy with paperwork.

Next time Shanzhu Chen visits Tiger Mansion, can the drinking place be moved to the Supervision Department?

After they all left the house, Wei Bo didn't bother to persuade him to drink. He picked up a chopstick and picked up the spring bamboo shoots in Duxian, chewed it slowly, and asked: "Aquarius Island Five Mountains, if you have the opportunity to 'become a god', do you mean it?" "

Chen Ping'an took a sip of wine and said, "What are you thinking about? I'm not even a wise man in the academy. How can I have such great powers?"

Wei Bo said: "But according to the news from the Middle Earth Divine Continent, it seems that your husband personally proposed this suggestion. The Liji Academy was also very insistent, and Mao Siye also gave a A very detailed plan, explaining the pros and cons of this matter, among which three of the principal and deputy leaders of the Confucian Temple, one is in favor and the other is against, and one has not expressed his position for the time being, so the Confucian Temple still needs to hold a formal meeting in which all the seventy-two academy leaders need to be present. Let’s finalize the final result of this matter. Generally speaking, it is more likely to pass.”

Chen Ping'an nodded, "Since the five mountains of the Central Earth Divine Continent, including Suishan, have long had divine titles, then this matter is at least in compliance with the etiquette. Maybe after it is settled, you guys will write it on the Confucian Temple's landscape genealogy There is a high probability that the divine position will remain unchanged. After all, there is currently no Dayueshan Lord in the other seven continents. In recent years, the Confucian Temple has restarted the Dadu canonization ceremony, plus the Lord of Land and Water Transport and the establishment of the Lord of the Four Seas, and there are The water god's escort can help the water god gain merits. I think Haoran Mountain God must have some opinions. I will also say a few words. If the five tigers of Aquarius Island are given "god numbers", it will be good for the Confucian Temple. It is something that is beneficial and cost-effective. It can not only help Aquarius Continent stabilize the destiny of mountains and rivers, but also appease the world's mountain gods, preventing the Confucian Temple from being too partial to the water gods. In this way, many mountain gods in other continents can still have hope, which is equivalent to An extra promotion channel has been created out of thin air. Kill three birds with one stone, why not do it."

Wei Bo smiled and joked: "Master Mao Shan's transfer to the position of Secretary of the Liji Academy is really a stroke of genius."

Chen Pingan complained: "Fuck you, this is called Guangfeng Jiyue, act impartially, don't you get an advantage here and still act like a good boy."

Wei Bo said: "For that thank you gift, next time you go to Colorful World, remember to say thank you to Ning Yao for me."

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "I will definitely bring it."

Wei Bo said tentatively: "From Zheng Dafeng's tone, you seem to be in urgent need of gold and copper coins. There are still seventy or eighty gold and copper coins in Piyun Mountain. I originally planned to slowly collect them." The possessions, relying on the salary from Da Li, the ants move around, and the accumulation lasts for hundreds or a thousand years, maybe it will be worth a fortune, but now we don’t need it anyway, why don’t you take it?”

Chen Ping'an waved his hand, "I don't care about your bit of beryllium copper and iron."

Wei Bo immediately held the cup in both hands and said, "The master of the mountain is so generous, I must raise a toast."

Good guy, I'm sorry you were waiting for these words from me. Chen Ping'an waved his hand, "Stop the ink. Let's toast three times to show our sincerity."

Wei Bo really drank three glasses of wine in a row, burped, and joked: "According to the current custom here in Chuzhou, for weddings, two wine tables must be set up, one in Feisheng City, and if there is a place in Luolu Mountain, If it’s not enough, we at Tiger Mansion can help make room.”

Chen Pingan gave Wei Bo a thumbs up, took off his cloth shoes, rolled up his sleeves, and looked like he was going to compete with Wei Shanjun at the wine table, and drank a glass of wine with a slurp.

Wei Bo suddenly said: "Lin Shouyi has been in seclusion for a while, right over at Changchun Palace. According to the recent signs of the Beiyue Earth Line, he and Xie Ling of the Longquan Sword Sect are very likely to reach the Jade Pu Realm around the same time. Five people, including Yuan Huajing, are now helping Lin guard the gate."

Chen Ping'an said: "Since we promised Xu Mao to visit Yuzhang County, then we should go to Changchun Palace first?"

Wei Bo said angrily: "What does it have to do with me? When you go to Changchun Palace, it's too late for people to welcome you. Whether you have me or not, it doesn't matter at all."

Chen Pingan stretched out his hand, "Give it back to me."

Ning Yao likes to read Chen Ping'an's landscape travel notes, and said that this is a good habit that can be maintained.

On the hilltop of my home, the millet grain is like a god of retribution, and now the white-haired boy is also responsible for compiling the chronology, so he can't hide it even if he wants to.

When he thought about traveling to the Divine Continent of Middle-earth and visiting the Paradise of Hundreds of Flowers in the future, Chen Ping'an was as big as his head.

Just like until now, hasn't Chen Ping'an never been to the Fox Country in his blessed land?

Wei Bo laughed loudly, "Then I will reluctantly go through the Changchun Palace with you."

There are green horses outside the willows, red coats, fengshang jade pendants, colorful skirts and ribbons by the water, and there are warblers and swallows everywhere.

Just like the female officials in the various departments of their own Tiger Mansion, whether they were from the old landscape gods or mountain ghosts, they were almost all curious about this young hidden official who was shrouded in clouds and mist.

Wei Bo smiled and said: "I'm surprised. For such a grand woman as Ning Yao, you are so fussy about this kind of thing. Are you suspicious that there is no three hundred taels of silver here and that Wang Er next door didn't steal it? "

Chen Ping'an sneered, "Are you showing off the method of shrinking to the ground with the Little Mountain God and Dayue Mountain Lord?"

When it comes to the theory of love between men and women, I am no match for those filthy idiots like Zhu Lian, Chief Zhou, and Mi Dajianxian, but I can't beat you like Wei Bo, Xiao Mo, and Xian Wei. Come on, even if you add them all together, I can use one hand.

Wei Bo was speechless, with a look of helplessness on his face. If he had known better, he would not have helped the etiquette department save this banquet.

Drink, drink.

Just rely on the wine glass to keep your spirits up.

Chen Ping'an drank the wine in the glass and waved his hand, "It's boring to drink like this, smash your mouth. Hurry up, change the wine glass to a big white bowl!"

————

Outside the water pavilion of Changchun Palace, on a road lined with flowers and birds, a woman whose beauty was far less beautiful than Zhou Haijing and Gai Yan came, accompanied by a girlish nun, who was carrying a fruit plate.

The woman's name is Song Yu, she is the Supreme Elder of Changchun Palace, and the girl is her direct disciple, named Zhongnan.

The entire Aquarius Continent often doesn’t quite understand how the Song Dynasty of Dali places such high regard on its chief minister, Ruan Qiong, and treats Changchun Palace so favorably, who is still only one of the sect’s candidates, and feels that it’s a bit of a fuss. . For example, no matter how nostalgic the Song family is, with the current power and heritage of the Great Li Dynasty, they should be enshrined by a chief minister who is at least an immortal, or even an ascendant, as the face of the country.

Song Yu's Taoist name is "Linyou". She is the highest-ranking Taoist cultivator in Changchun Palace. She is also a close disciple of the founder of Changchun Palace.

The current palace masters are all the nephews of this female cultivator.

Song Yu was an extremely old Nascent Soul Realm man. He had good facial expressions and a womanly appearance, but her appearance was just that of a middle-aged woman.

Because the Dali Song family treated the Changchun Palace too favorably and courteously, the outside world has been speculating that the Dali Song family could gradually rise from a small vassal state of the Lu Dynasty in the face of internal and external troubles, and eventually annex the suzerain country and leapfrog. Becoming the northern overlord of Aquarius Continent, in this turbulent process, Song Yu, who has the same surname as the country, and the Changchun Palace she founded are the driving forces behind helping the Song family of Dali survive in the cracks. It is because of her He was responsible for mediating and speaking favorably with the emperors of the Lu Dynasty. The Song family of Dali waited for the appearance of the two ministers of Zhongxing, Yuan and Cao, and waited until a hundred years ago to finally usher in the embroidered tiger. After serving as the Great Li State Advisor, he invited the military sage Ruan Qiong to serve as the chief worshiper...

Song Yu arrived in person, and Yuan Huajing walked to the bottom of the steps to the north of the waterside pavilion, cupped his fists and saluted.

It was probably the Changchun Palace monks who had noticed the movement here before, and were afraid of an accident, so they had no choice but to ask the Supreme Elder to come here to find out in person.

Song Yu had actually discovered the strangeness of the glazed tiles on the roof of the water pavilion a long time ago. After receiving the report yesterday, she just deliberately delayed it and made a small fuss. This loss of money was nothing. If there was any movement, she would rush over after hearing the news. It seems that the Changchun Palace is too petty. She remained calm and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."

Gaiyan took the fruit plate and said with a smile: "It's not hard at all, it's all part of the responsibility. The scenery here is pretty good, it's both eye-catching and refreshing."

As the shopkeeper of the Xianjia Inn in the capital, I made up my mind to change my past mistakes and make the business of the inn better. Just like this waterside pavilion, which happens to be named "Yesterday Feizhai", it is tailor-made for her. Zhou Haijing, a woman, is a bit unpleasant to speak, but she can still say a few human words occasionally.

The girl took out six more pots of Changchun Palace wine from the square object given by her master according to the old rules.

Gaiyan was secretly happy as she got five more pots. As for the pot that belonged to Zhou Haijing, don't even think about it. This aunt was just a money addict who fell in the eyes of money. She was shameless and wanted to cheat Yuan Huajing and others. Get those jugs of wine.

Zhou Haijing just leaned against the pillar, crossed his arms across his chest, and said with a smile: "After all, we have responsibilities. Drinking will inevitably cause things to get messed up. Besides, the calligraphy and paintings in the waterside pavilion are all good. They say that when you are frustrated in life, you only need to borrow the ancients' pleasant articles to read. In this way, you can feel relaxed and relaxed, and there is no need to pour wine over you. So we kindly understand that Master Song really doesn’t need to send any more wine next time.”

Gaiyan said angrily with her heartfelt voice: "Zhou Haijing! If you have no virtue or not, aren't you a money fan? Why do you use this despicable method of killing one thousand enemies and damaging yourself eight hundred?!"

Zhou Haijing said with a smile: "One pot versus five pots, if you make big money and I make small money, I won't be happy. So if you can't make a single penny, I will treat it as big money."

Song Yu was obviously a little surprised to hear that Zhou Haijing acted impartially, but she was a sophisticated old Yuanying after all. He smiled and said: "Master Zhou is right, but you still have to treat guests well. From now on, we will still serve drinks as usual , if you are worried about affecting the protection of the gate, just leave it. Whether to drink it or not will be dealt with as appropriate. Even if you save it and take it away after you finish your business, it is still a little thought of our Changchun Palace."

Gai Yan just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Zhou Haijing's concentrated voice again, "Did you hear that? Have you learned? The wealthy shopkeeper Gai, if you have Song Yu's ability to succeed in life, you don't need to be too much, just achieve success." It's enough, and the business of your Xianjia Inn won't be so good that there will be no one left."

Song Yu only walked and chatted with Yuan Huajing along the lakeside road. She had a very good relationship with the Yuan family of Shangzhu Kingdom and had a long history. The friendship can be traced back to the distant ancestor Yuan Xun.

Therefore, Yuan Huajing was extremely respectful to Song Yu.

The children of the Yuan family of Shangzhu Kingdom did not know that there was a real ancestral house of the Yuan family in Erlang Lane in that town until the Lizhu Cave was opened. This gave the Yuan family one more genealogy to test. This is the common trouble of many ancient families. It is not easy to determine the first king of the family and the ancestor who got the surname. Most wealthy families in a continent and various countries regard the person who got the king's "favor of heaven" as their ancestor. After all, like A family with such an orderly inheritance as the Yunlin Jiang family is one of the few in the entire world.

Song Yu sighed faintly, "Master failed to break through the bottleneck and entered Yupu. He passed away in the army. He once left a will and decree. The general idea is that we should follow the rules, have no distracting thoughts, practice simplicity, and 'keep ourselves humble'."

In fact, Song Yu deliberately missed the two words. After Shou Zhuo, there is still "Ruyi".

Yuan Huajing said: "Changchun Palace can achieve today's achievements only because later generations of monks are willing to strictly follow the teachings of the founder."

In fact, the Yuan family also has similar family mottos, and the surnames of the Shangzhu Kingdom, such as the Tianshui Zhao family, are similar in this matter.

It is difficult for a family to build a successful career, and it is even more difficult to sustain long-lasting blessings. If you want to escape the "gentleman's fortune, it will decline in three generations and be killed in five generations", transform from a noble family to a noble family, and maintain long-term vitality, whether you read the history books or look around There seems to be a need for rules and decency around the officialdom, which silently affects future generations. It seems invisible, but in fact it is indispensable. Over time, it becomes a family tradition.

The female cultivator named "Zhong Nan" was left alone by the master at the waterside pavilion because she was not good at speaking. She seemed very embarrassed. She wanted to fulfill her friendship as a landlord, but she didn't know how to speak. She felt a little awkward for a while. .

The woman's appearance can only be described as delicate, not beautiful.

Her real name is Yi Shan, so she is often nicknamed "Yi Shi". Because she was born as a boat girl in Hongzhu Town, she has not yet been pardoned by the Dali Dynasty, so after going to the mountain to practice, she was forced to give up her surname. The name was changed to "Zhongnan" on the Changchun Palace genealogy. It is said that the Empress Dowager Da Li was very fond of this girl when she was still the empress. After removing the last character, the name was finally named "Song Nan", which is the song in the country's surname and the south in the queen mother's name "Nan Hairpin".

However, it is said that it is also possible that he was given the surname Nan and the first name Song. In this way, it is equivalent to the Queen Mother Nan Hairpin who was born in Yuzhang County, Hongzhou, and accepted the girl as a member of the same clan in the genealogy.

No matter what kind of choice it is, it is a great honor for a girl from a rural background.

Fortunately, Gaiyan helped to warm up the show, asked her if she had any questions, and then invited her to stay in his own inn when passing through the capital in the future. She can get a discount, which is very good.

Zhou Haijing couldn't help but make trouble and said: "Discount, what kind of discount? 11% off?"

The young man with his knees crossed and the walking stick was relaxed and grinned.

Although this Zhou Haijing was annoying, the few words he occasionally said made the boy feel familiar and close to him, because his tone of voice was somewhat similar to Mr. Chen's.

Sui Lin is a Five Elements expert who is proficient in yin and yang numerology, astronomy and geography, so he has the most "expert" perspective on Changchun Palace.

It is said that the founder of the Changchun Palace, her ancestors were all fishermen in Yuzhou. She did not have a clear lineage. She was born in Shanze Yexiu and founded the Changchun Palace from scratch.

Therefore, Changchun Palace's special skill is the water method of counting pulses on the surface, but it is an extremely advanced five thunder method on the inside, and it is said that it has no origin with the thunder method of Longhu Mountain.

According to the interpretation of Xu Fuzi, the saint of Zhaoling characters, dragon is the length of a scale insect, with both brightness and brightness. It ascends to the sky at the spring equinox to travel through the wind and rain, and dives into the abyss at the autumnal equinox to nourish the true spirit.

Previously, Cui Dongshan took Jiang Shangzhen and his long-lost "sister" Cui Huahua on a trip to Bailudu in Zhengyang Mountain. The young man in white squatted on the shore and once recited a poem about immortals that had roots in the mountain. It's just that it's not widely circulated, and it's a bit obscure. I heard about it occasionally in later generations. I can only guess that it is related to a Taoist real person who traveled to Aquarius Island, the founding emperor of the Lu Dynasty, and the founder of the Changchun Palace. The content of the poem about traveling to immortals is similar to a prophecy. It is a mysterious and mysterious saying, "The emperor's residence is shaking, the dragon is springing", "The immortal travels in the Changchun Palace, rides on the white dragon without riding a cloud chariot", "The South China Sea is turning green, brewing longevity wine".

Of course Sui Lin had heard of this ballad-like poem about traveling to immortals, so this time he was guarding the gate for Lin, and he happened to take the opportunity to carefully inspect the ground conditions of Changchun Palace.

Zhou Haijing gathered his voices into a line and whispered: "It is said that Song Yu and the Qin family ancestors of the Dalugou lineage of Fengxue Temple were old acquaintances when they were young. There are quite a lot of stories? In Aquarius Continent, you are the most well-informed. Is this true or false?”

Gaiyan said angrily: "It's fake! A martial arts practitioner who is full of food and pays attention to these messy rumors on the mountain every day, no wonder he lost to Yu Hong."

Zhou Haijing smiled from ear to ear. He was not as experienced as this female ghost in the golden elixir realm. For a master of martial arts like Yu Hong, beating you up as a lone Gaiyan is just like playing.

Zhong Nan was not good at dealing with people, so she just stood in the corridor and looked at the top of the mountain.

When the girl and Lin Shouyi met for the first time, it was like an unexpected encounter.

She only felt that the young man in green shirt on the shore had clean clothes and elegant temperament. When he was in the red candle town with feasting and music every night, he was like a spring leaf floating on the turbid water.

Hanging on Zhongnan's waist is a Guanli sword talisman made by the Longquan Sword Sect. Because it was a gift from his mentor, he felt happy when he saw it, so he always carried it with him as an accessory.

Moreover, she once secretly traveled to the top of the old Beiyue Mountain. It was not a serious experience of going down the mountain, but more like relaxing and touring the mountains and rivers.

Anyway, she was close to her master and in the Gyeonggi region. Then on a mountain road, she accidentally bumped into a muddy little girl holding an umbrella, and a girl in green with a ponytail.

They walked together for a while. The ponytailed woman whose name was never mentioned taught Zhongnan an obscure fire method. Zhongnan never dared to practice it easily. After all, Changchun Palace uses water method. The Xianjia sect, which was founded on Leifa, did not dare to hide this matter from the master. After Song Yu heard the Taoist formula, he didn't say much. He just asked his disciples to study this rootless fire method after reaching the Dragon Gate realm.

Over the mountains on the other side of the lake, the sky was clear and blue, but there was faint thunder and vibration.

This is undoubtedly a sign of enlightenment that Lin Shouyi is about to leave seclusion.

There is no calamity, nor does it look very... boring.

A moment later, a man in Confucian robes walked out of the cave. Every time he took a breath, Lin Shouyi's face and seven orifices had strands of tiny golden thunder and lightning hanging down the mountain wall like dragons and snakes.

Song Yu, his disciple Zhongnan, and Yuan Huajing, among them, immediately rushed to the other side by the wind.

Song Yu made a bow and saluted, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Lin, I am very happy to congratulate you."

Lin Shouyi bowed to the elder of Changchun Palace and returned the gift.

Lin Shouyi and Song Yu met for the first time many years ago in Hongzhu Town. One was painting a boat and the other was on the bank. Although Song Yu was older and held a high position in the mountains, her words were humorous and not Old-fashioned, she could tell at a glance that Lin Shouyi was an excellent Taoist cultivator. She even half-joked with the boy, deliberately describing herself as a genuine mountain god, and mentioned the phrase "Five Thunders Zhengfa". Anyway, he showed off his demeanor as an immortal master with words that were "not plain enough".

Back when Lin Shouyi was in Qidun Mountain, he got a book called "Langlang Book on the Cloud", which was just for him to dabble in the art of thunder. The content of this Taoist book was extremely written. At that time, the young man who had just left his hometown had not yet read it. Understand the true weight of the four words "Five Thunders Zhengfa".

The waterside pavilion was occupied by two elusive outsiders.

Chen Ping'an leaned against the pillar, put his hands in his sleeves, tapped his toes on the ground, and said with a smile: "Really, do you really want to attribute it to the secret book you gave me?"

Wei Bo looked lazy, sitting next to the beauty, holding on to the railing with both hands, crossing his legs, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to be greedy for this merit."

Back then, in Qidun Mountain, a swordsman who claimed to be an expert in swordsmanship took the young girls and boys and "sat on the ground to share the spoils."

The scene at that time, in the words of the little girl in the red cotton jacket, was that even Lin Shouyi ran very fast. As a result, Lin Shouyi was the first to choose the treasure. The handsome young man who talked the least and was the most thoughtful along the way caught his eye at a glance. Part of the "Langlang Book on the Cloud" tied with golden silk thread. When Lin Shouyi was also studying in the academy, he once followed an academy master from the Sui Dynasty and went to the boundary of Beiyue in the Sui Dynasty to watch the thunder clouds. He practiced for several months in an immortal cave called Shenxiao Mountain. The master also gave him a thunder bottle specially used to collect thunder and lightning.

Chen Pingan returned to his hometown once in his early years and went mountain climbing with the girl with a ponytail. Remembering that Lin Shouyi was the first person among them to practice and the thunder method, Chen Pingan asked Ruan Xiu for advice on the practice of thunder method. As for the precautions, she said some things that came from "hearsay". Afterwards, Chen Pingan recorded everything in the book and gave it to Lin Shouyi. Chen Pingan's original intention was not to check and fill in the gaps, but just to see if Lin Shouyi could get more inspiration.

Later, Zheng Juzhong from Baidi City secretly visited Huaihuang County and found the dragon-slaying man who secretly lived in the soul of a blind Taoist priest. He then accepted Gu Can as his disciple.

While Zheng was in residence, he used a "Langlang Book on the Clouds" that he personally completed in exchange for something from Lin Shouyi. It was the painting that Chen Pingan received from the blind Taoist Jia Sheng and gave it to Lin Shouyi. Ancestors" Sou Shan Tu.

It turns out that this book on the cloud comes from Baidi City in the Middle East. Zheng Juzhong once asked about Longhu Mountain. As long as Zheng Juzhong discusses Taoism with others, generally speaking, the other party will not think about how to hide their secrets. As expected, Zheng Juzhong He quickly wrote this Yunshangshu by himself. The key is that after "borrowing" this book from Longhu Mountain and Baidi City, all the nobles in the Tianshi Mansion looked at each other and were speechless, knowing that the other party was borrowing. They secretly learned the Five Thunder Methods of their own, but it seemed that no matter how they searched Yun Shanshu, they only had a weird and awkward feeling. There was something wrong between the lines of a Taoist book, and everything seemed to be incompatible with the secret thunder method of Tianshi Mansion. The inextricable relationship seems to really need to be calculated, and Zheng Juzhong has his own reasons. Even the Tianshi Mansion can learn from it?

It's just that the volume in Lin Shou's hand was a fragment, similar to the first volume, and was only suitable for the practice of thunder method by monks in the lower fifth realm. Zheng Juzhong helped to make up the middle and lower volumes for the practice of the middle fifth realm and the upper fifth realm. Finally, Cui Dongshan filled the three volumes of Lei Fa Taoism with his own annotations. This made Lin Shouyi's practice not only extremely fast, but also almost without encountering any obstacles or bottlenecks. .

Chen Ping'an asked: "What is the foundation of the old master from Shanya Academy?"

Wei Bo nodded and said with a smile: "As you guessed, it is the clone of the old coachman in Dali Capital City, the old Shinto senior who almost practiced with you. He has obviously been attracted by Lin Shouyi's Taoist aptitude for a long time. .”

Among the younger generation of Lizhu Dongtian, Lin Shouyi, Ma Kuxuan, and Xie Ling are not the same as Chen Ping'an, Liu Xianyang, and Gu Can. They all have smooth sailings that are different from ordinary people. , until you reach the upper five realms, you will hardly encounter any obstacles, let alone encounter any dangerous fighting skills. Just two words, good luck.

Chen Ping'an asked again: "Have you heard of "Shang Shang Xuan Xuan Collection"? It is also a very high-ranking secret book on thunder techniques."

Wei Bo quickly checked his memory and shook his head, "Unheard of."

At the end of a poem about traveling to immortals, there is a sentence: "I only hope that Mr. Xiang will pay a visit frequently and ask more about mysteries."

The "Langlang Book on the Cloud" left in Aquarius Island fell into the hands of Lin Shouyi.

In fact, there is still a "Shang Shang Xuan Xuan Collection" in Luzhou, Beiju, which was ultimately attributed to Sui Jingcheng of Duckweed Jianhu.

Last time Lin Shouyi and Dong Shuijing attended the Luolu Mountain Ceremony, Chen Pingan also told Lin Shouyi a secret, reminding Lin Shouyi that if he had the opportunity, he could travel to Beiju Luzhou and visit Lingxiao Sect's Paidi Peak and Duckweed. Jianhu and Jianhu, because Sui Jingcheng also happened to have three volumes of Taoism, which were also Lei Fa, called "Shang Shang Xuan Xuan Ji". If there really is a dharma on the mountain, Lin Shouyi and Sui Jingcheng can exchange Taoist books. This is not uncommon in the mountains. Even some sects with good relations will give and exchange copies of their precious Taoist books with each other to enrich their families. , bartering for things, and exchanging books for books are common things. The more sects and sects, the more frequent this is.

Just like in conjunction with the "Shang Shang Xuan Xuan Collection", Sui Jingcheng also has three seemingly "identical" gold hairpins.

Whenever the golden hairpins strike each other, they will create circles of halo ripples, which contain the extremely subtle true meaning of thunder.

The three golden hairpins are each engraved with four-character inscriptions: "Ling Su Qing Wei", "Wen Qing Shen Xiao", "Tai Xia Conquers Ghost".

This Lei Fa Taoist book is also divided into three volumes. The only difference from "Yunshangshu" is that the first volume of the former only explains the purpose of the Tao. It can be said that it is almost useless for Qi practitioners just to have this secret book. For example, it is like the five thousand words passed down by the Taoist ancestors, which are known to everyone in the world and can be read by everyone. However, over the past ten thousand years, there are still a few ordinary people in the mountains who can read this Taoist book alone. A Qi practitioner embarking on the path of spiritual practice? But Sui Jingcheng forced herself to read the first volume over and over again. With just her own random thinking, she was able to read out a Qi practitioner who was stuck in the second level. No wonder Rong Chang, the senior brother of Duckweed Sword Lake, felt that after so many years , Junior sister Sui Jingcheng, who has returned to the sect, is simply a genius that is beyond his reach.

It is not without reason that the Five Thunder Methods are known as the first of all methods.

Back then, Chen Ping'an always felt that Sui Jingcheng's Taoist book seemed to be waiting for Lin Shouyi.

So when Zheng Dafeng returned to Luolu Mountain this time and solved the mystery with Chen Pingan, the answer was both unexpected and reasonable.

People who practice Buddhism have a tenacious mind and a simple and uncompromising mind.

A person who has attained the Tao will form a world of his own, with a clear inner view.

Chen Pingan said: "Let's go."

Wei Bo asked doubtfully: "Don't you see Lin Shouyi?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "If Wei Shanjun had planned ahead, he would have prepared two congratulatory gifts. I will go see him."

Wei Bo immediately stood up, glanced at the figure on the other side of the lake, nodded with a smile, and quietly left Changchun Palace with Chen Pingan.

Sure enough, as Wei Bo expected, he was almost as good as Lin Shouyi. From the Longquan Sword Sect, Xie Ling successfully refined the exquisite pagoda and became the latest Jade Pu realm swordsman in Aquarius Continent.

And deep in the territory of Yuzhou, five monks from the Earth Branch, including Song Xu, were about to obtain the secret treasure when they saw a girl with red cheeks and a mink hat, talking like crazy, talking about this thing. It is an old thing that belongs to her hidden here. Who dares to snatch it from her? She is just a weak girl. She is very ladylike, but she can bring in reinforcements and find her husband to help her seek justice. He is famous I feel sorry for my wife who is henpecked and I will beat you to death for not discussing it.

The girl in the mink hat saw that the other party was clearly frightened. She nodded with satisfaction, then raised her chin towards the suspended treasure filled with layers of ancient restrictions, "Thankfully I arrived in time, otherwise you guys If you were stupid and broke the ban, the consequences would be so serious that half of Aquarius Continent would probably collapse. Don’t believe it? Haha, the Milky Way is high, the fire is scorching, dragons and snakes rise from the land, the road is full of wind and horses, and the sun, moon, mountains and rivers are added. Spectacular, heaven and earth are collected into a vase. Doesn’t it sound awesome? Do you have any knowledge? I just made it up, anyway, that’s what it means. In the earth-shattering battle between water and fire in the early years, you little kids are now even connected to the earthly immortals. None of them, how can you get involved? I don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is!”

While she was talking nonsense, she shouted: "Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo, is Xiao Mo here?"

Xie Gou looked around, and it seemed that Xiao Mo really hadn't followed. She felt warm in her heart.
