Sword of Coming

Zhongtu Suishan.

A golden-armored god on the top of the mountain, holding a sword in both hands, slowly opened his eyes.

The real name of this tiger spirit is Zhou You, and the divine name is Dajiao.

There are nine mountains and rivers in the vast world, and the number one mountain god in the world.

Zhou You looked at the swordsman in blue shirt standing thousands of miles away.

Not far or near, this person happened to be on the border of Beiyue, and he was accompanied by a retinue.

Zhou You frowned slightly, thinking together, his dream shattered, and there was a slight sound of cracks in porcelain between heaven and earth.

Looking around at the green-shirted man in the distance, he asked, "How did you do this?"

After all, even the peak Ascension Realm monks cannot do this by forcefully dragging a Central-Earth Mountain King into a certain dream state.

Besides, it is not a fun thing for anyone to do this kind of thing when they are full.

Of course, except for the Huolong master from Luzhou in Beiju, he did it twice. The first time was the act of enlightenment by Huolong Zhenren from the Immortal Realm to the Ascension Realm. He once sleepwalked in the Five Mountains and Lakes.

The second time was that the old god was just bored. To use the words of Master Huolong, even a poor man could not afford a cross-continental ferry, so he could only use some unsophisticated tricks to enjoy the great rivers and mountains. .

The young hidden official looked sincere and said: "Is it possible that sincerity leads to spirituality, and heaven and earth will work together in time?"

The burly golden-armored god took a deep breath, smiled, raised a palm, and tapped the hilt of the sword with his palm.

Damn, it's very familiar, couldn't be more familiar, because it sounds like the tone of an old scholar.

Zhou You and Chen Pingan have actually met many times.

The last time we attended a meeting at the Confucian Temple, neither party said a word. The young Yinguan seemed a little guilty and did not dare to get close to the great god Suishan.

After all, the first time he "visited Suishan", Chen Ping'an was still an ignorant boy with straw sandals. He once split the landscape restrictions of Suishan with a sword and committed an act of disrespect.

Because of this incident, many monks on the mountaintops of Middle-earth were suspicious. After that, the temple received a lot of oblique letters asking about this matter, and Zhou You was too lazy to reply.

Is it true that the invincible one in the world of Qing Ming left Bai Yujing and traveled to Suishan with his sword? Or are the old swordsmen at the Great Wall of Sword Qi settling old scores with Suishan?

Speaking of Haoran's local sword cultivator, who dares to act so arrogantly and want to go to the Gongde Forest to eat in prison and read books about sages?

In addition, there was another time, but the two sides did not meet because it was Chen Ping'an who was forced to come here to meet with the Holy Master.

It is not advisable to show up when traveling around at that time, so as not to reveal the secret.

Chen Pingan bowed and apologized: "I was young and ignorant, acted impulsively, and often caused offense."

Zhou You shook his head and said, "It's just an unintentional move. You don't need to pay too much attention to it."

Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. Suishan was restrained by the sword, and Zhou You had no prejudice against the straw-shoe boy. The old scholar who had made the connection had to be blamed.

It's just that the old scholar was so shameless that he kidnapped an ancient sword pill named "Xiao Fengdu" from Suishan.

The root of this object is somewhat similar to the "Niwan" sword embryo presented by Wu Yi of Ziyang Mansion. It was a treasure refined by the real person who was stationed in the Five Mountains of the Central Plains. It has special magical powers, like a military talisman, and is equivalent to being tied to a mountain. Those who have good luck can enter the mountain with tokens in hand to open the door to the real cave ruins. As for how many blessings they will get in the future, it is impossible to say whether the Qi practitioner will enter the treasure mountain and return empty, or return with a full load.

It's a pity that Chen Ping'an couldn't find the right method in his subsequent practice, and he never got in before the opportunity came. He just managed to refine it into his natal object, but still failed to become a genuine sword cultivator. Moreover, the young man from the back alleys of Lizhu Cave had a simple mind at that time and failed to hear some hint from the old scholar, so he never took this thing with him to travel to Suishan. If before visiting the Great Wall of Sword Qi for the second time, Chen Ping'an could first visit the Middle-earth Divine Continent and Suishan, where he could practice immortality and gain the Taoist fate, and finally succeed in refining the sword. The young man would need less time to go to the Great Wall of Sword Qi again. There have been many ups and downs.

Regarding this matter, the old scholar and Zhou You had a review in the early years. The old scholar regretted it and was heartbroken. He only said that he had made a mistake and blamed me.

It turns out that Chen Ping'an hadn't drunk wine at that time. He only heard Master Wen Sheng say that Suishan's flower and fruit wine was a unique thing in the world. How could the young man take it seriously? Besides, he was thin-skinned, so he felt that he had cut him off with a sword for no reason. With the mountain and water formation at the mountain gate, do you still have the nerve to ask for a drink? But if the old scholar changed his mind at that time, I would like to say that the great god Suishan is the most generous, he is a heroic and arrogant person, and there are fairy money everywhere in the mountain. Anyone with average luck can pick up some, but you can't pick it up. The mountain god is still not happy... Do you think Chen Ping'an will come to Suishan to find a way to visit the immortals? There are only twelve or ten hours in a day, maybe eleven hours, and you can see the figure of the young man walking with his head down.

You can avoid looking at the old scholar scratching his head and beating his chest in annoyance when you travel around, but you can't escape the noisy chatter of the old scholar's mother-in-law. It's really annoying, so he had to say, "Take some detours and endure more hardships." Isn’t that a good thing?”

In the end, it was okay for Zhou You not to speak. When he heard this, the old scholar seemed to have finally found a reason to jump and curse, "What a bastard! He is tall and can stand taller. He is older and has more abilities. He just likes to stand and talk without backache, right? ? Enduring hardship? How else do you want that child to endure hardship?!"

Zhou You said disapprovingly: "I was born in a poor alley, lost my parents at a young age, was unable to study, and was isolated and helpless, so I had to wander around and work hard to survive. To be honest, this kind of hardship is nothing. In the Zhongyue region of my country, not to mention the ten thousand people with It is not difficult to find hundreds or even thousands of people of the same age as Chen Pingan who have been in similar situations."

The old scholar sighed, probably unwilling to say more about this matter, and ended the topic with "Insensitive, you know nothing."

Finding joy in suffering is just the way to live in the world. Not knowing suffering is the way to establish one's body.

Suishan Mountain in Zhongtu is unparalleled in its majesty, developing all things, and is as high as the sky.

Wuyue Mountain must be domed and swollen, as high as the sky, and the watercourse should be deep and wide, with a long history, and open to the sea.

Therefore, some Confucian sages have commented on this. The way of the sage is high, similar to a mountain, and reaches the highest point in the sky.

Standing next to Chen Ping'an, this was the first time Qing Tong saw the magnificent scene of Suishan with his own eyes. It was indeed the only one in the world.

No wonder the most holy master would choose this place as a temporary "study" to do battle with the great ancestor of Tuo Yueshan.

Qing Tong had previously traveled to the Five Mountains of Aquarius Continent with Chen Pingan, and only said that the mountains and rivers contained the Tao Qi of heaven and earth. Compared with it, it was like a middle-level Qi practitioner like the Earth Immortal who met an Ascension Realm.

Suishan's flower and fruit wine is as famous as the Qingshenshan wine in Zhuhai Cave and the Baihua wine in Baihua Paradise. In addition, the vegetarian restaurant in Shanjun Temple is even more famous in Jiuzhou.

The wandering god named "Dajiao" has a lofty status and vast supernatural powers. It is said that he is much higher than the other four Central-Earth Tigers.

According to the old temple master, as long as he is in the Suishan realm this week, he can be regarded as most of the fourteenth realm monks, second only to Jingsheng Xiping who is in the merit forest.

Zhou You said to Chen Ping'an, "You and I will meet at the mountain gate."

Chen Pingan took out a hiking stick in his hand, nodded, and walked to the mountain gate of Suishan in one step. Apparently, Zhou You approved and allowed Chen Pingan to use a Guangyin stream as a long bridge to span thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.

In this dream, if Qing Tong deliberately hides his whereabouts, then the relationship between Qing Tong and Chen Pingan is like a night ship in the vast world.

Just as Qing Tong was about to move, he noticed the sharp gaze of the golden-armored god, so he had to stop immediately, stretched out two fingers, and held the edge of the power fence to express his apology.

You, Kirihazu Seito, want to set foot on our Suishan Shinto?

Where is the customs clearance document issued by the Zhongtu Confucian Temple? Otherwise, why don't you go ask the sage for a verbal decree?

Zhou You appeared at the gate of the mountain. Next to it stood a huge stone tablet with the four words "Only Heaven is Above" engraved on it.

Both parties climbed up the stairs together. There were many scenic spots along the way. Many ancient stone tablets with dragon seals, phoenix seals and heavenly scripts were destroyed and eroded by the long river of time, so that no one in later generations could recognize their true meaning.

Suishan's stone carvings are unparalleled in the world both in terms of quantity and number. There are thousands of existing stone tablets and more than 10,000 cliff inscriptions.

It is said that all Suishan stele rubbings in the world, as long as they are written by the genealogy monks on the mountain, must be divided with the Tiger Mansion on a scheduled basis.

Zhou You and Li Yehou, Lord of the South Sea, have similar meanings, but this Suishan god makes it more clear.

"Do you know that in the future, meritorious deeds will become very valuable, extremely valuable, no matter how useless they are? Especially those Ascension Realm monks with outstanding military exploits will regard this object as one of the great opportunities to break through the realm. , as long as there are merits and virtues to protect it, it is like being in an excellent Taoist temple with both the right time and the right place. From then on, you can get twice the result with half the effort. Even if the retreat fails in the end and the breakthrough is unsuccessful, there will not be too many sequelae. For Longhushan Zhao If Tian Lai, Liu Jubao and others make further progress, hope will come true. For Wei She and others like Aai Aizhou, the long drought will be replaced by sweet rain, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright again."

"I just want to talk about the next meeting of the founders of the three religions. I am a bit envious of the "unique blessings" of a person like you who has great merits and virtues."

"Besides, it's a foregone conclusion that the land will sink to the southeast. But maybe others don't know the secret behind it, but you don't know. Then the energy of the entire vast world will naturally flow from other parts of the eight continents, especially from the northwest, to Tong. The side of Yezhou is tilted. This is where the main road is. Like water flowing from high to low, this is the general trend. This is also the reason why Qing Tong stood by and remained confident, because Qing Tong can just sit back and enjoy the results. I don't understand. It’s okay to say you were kept in the dark, but since you know what you’re doing, why are you anxious?”

"You are just using 30% to 40% of your own merits to get 10% to 20% of the income for Tongyezhou. Do you not understand this account?"

"Chen Ping'an, tell me what you are thinking. Tell me so that I can laugh."

After being "reprimanded" all over, Chen Ping'an smiled. He was not a senior like his elders and could not say such angry words.

The golden-armored god caught a glimpse of the young man's face and eyes, and said angrily: "I'm familiar with the old scholar, but that doesn't mean I'm familiar with you."

"The Tao is impartial and the Dharma is like falling rain."

Chen Pingan explained softly: "In this majestic rain that benefits the earth, I am in it, and I cannot be an exception. Of course I can learn from Qing Tong and wait for good fortune, but there is a problem here. I am a Qi practitioner. , and even more so for a sword cultivator, the breakthroughs achieved in exchange for merit, even if it is one breakthrough after another, such as directly changing from Nascent Soul to Yu Pu and then to an immortal, but for a pure sword cultivator, in the long run, it is still The loss outweighs the gain, so this account may have to be calculated.”

Picking up the hiking pole in his hand, Chen Pingan pointed to the mountainside, raised it a little higher, pointed to the top of Suishan Mountain, and said slowly: "If you walk fast, you can only spin around there, but if you walk slowly But they can go all the way to the top of the mountain before stopping."

Zhou You smiled and said: "A great swordsman, in the eyes of Yinguan, is he so worthless?"

If Chen Ping'an thinks this way, it cannot be said that he is entirely wrong. But the problem is that an Immortal Realm sword cultivator, even in the Middle Earth Divine Continent,

As expected, Chen Ping'an gave the final answer, "I want to become a pure swordsman in the Fourteenth Realm."

When I heard this statement when I was traveling around, I looked at him sideways and was speechless for a long time.

The fourteenth realm monks are already rare, and the sword cultivators who have reached the fourteenth realm are even more lethal. So the fourteenth realm sword cultivator with the word "purity"?

Pei Min, one of Haoran's three masters of swordsmanship, has been blocked by these two words for thousands of years?

Chen Ping'an continued: "If that gift is a gift of merit, I can decide how to use it myself. For example, I can use it to exchange for a large amount of fairy money falling from the sky, or to win some easily accessible resources for Luopo Mountain and Xiandu Mountain. Bao, whether for myself or for the long-term planning of the two sect mountains, I will definitely reserve a small amount of merit in my hand. Maybe this time I travel in a dream, I will only visit the Water Palace to see the water god, not It’s time to see the tiger at the top of the mountain.”

Zhou You said: "It can be regarded as a kind of gentleman who loves money and uses it wisely. By the way, Chen Ping'an, how come you didn't even get a wise man when you discussed the matter at the Confucian Temple last time?"

Among the disciples of the Wen Sheng lineage, Li Baoping was already a gentleman and a veritable female concubine. In addition, Li Huai and Zhao Yao, the minister of Da Li, both had the title of sage.

Among Chen Ping'an's students, there was Cao Qinglang, who had a talent for reading. Fortunately, this person seemed to be a different scholar from his master and his husband.

Chen Ping'an said: "Senior, if you are willing to recommend something, please say a few fair words to the Confucian Temple. I would like to thank you in advance."

Zhou You said with a smile: "When promoting talents, we should not avoid relatives, and I, an outsider, will not be able to do it."

Among the direct descendants of the Literary Saint lineage, this is definitely the youngest guy who can say such a thing.

It's no wonder that the old scholar prefers the closed disciples the most, because he is the most like him. He loves drinking the most, is thick-skinned, and has the connection with his elders. The key is that Chen Ping'an has also found a wife. He is better than his predecessors. Is this an "unprecedented" achievement for the lineage of literary saints?

Just talking about eldership, Cui Chan, the former disciple of Literary Saint, is too talented, so even though Xiuhu is clearly gentle, gentle, and polite to others, he still gives people the illusion of being overbearing, and his disciple Qi Jingchun It's because he lives in seclusion and rarely travels out. Because of Liu Shili's background, how many people can be as old as him, so how many "elders" in the world dare to call themselves elders? As for the man who is recognized as the "troublemaker of the literary sage" and has the worst temper, before practicing swordsmanship, he had a naturally cold face. After practicing swordsmanship, he even made the old scholar smile and apologize to everyone.

Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "Senior, can you make an exception for fellow Taoist Qing to cross the boundary and be a guest in the mountains? This guy has been fascinated by our vegetarian restaurant in Suishan for a long time."

Zhou You was noncommittal and chuckled, "Why is it 'our Suishan'?"

Chen Ping'an said: "Since the senior is familiar with the husband and are close friends, the junior and Suishan can be considered 'half-familiar'."

Zhou You reminded: "Since the relationship is only half-acquainted, then don't think about those inscriptions on the tablets."

Chen Pingan asked: "That stick of mountain incense?"

Zhou You nodded and said, "No problem."

The old scholar did have a good student who could take care of his husband's worries.

When the truth about this patchwork of land shortage is revealed to the world in the future, haha, with the consistent style of the old scholar, not to mention the group of saints accompanying the Confucian Temple will be annoyed, I am afraid that even when they get to the Lisheng, the old scholar will also Say a few words

But it may also be rare for an old scholar to remain silent.

If you read a good book, you won’t be willing to share it.

Qing Tong, who was standing there obediently waiting for the news, suddenly heard a decree from Suishan in her heart, which actually allowed her to climb the mountain and eat a bowl of plain noodles.

That god-man has a perfect golden body. From the perspective of Qing Tong's Qi-gazing technique, it looks like a majestic image of "the mountain is almost as high as the sky."

So much so that Qingtong always felt that on the Zhongyue boundary line, if Zhou You handed out a sword from Suishan, Qingtong would think about it a little, and he might not have to go back to Tongyezhou.

So I was lucky enough to be able to go to Suishan and eat plain noodles before leaving. It was an unexpected joy. Qing Tong bowed respectfully in the distance, thanked Zhou You, and then followed the example of Chen Ping'an, and arrived at the foot of the mountain. Walking out of a dream picture, even if today is the eve of the New Year, there is still an endless stream of devotees and women climbing mountains and burning incense along the main Shinto road. Suishan is so popular that it is no wonder that traveling around can temper the golden statue. body.

Qing Tong once again wore the power fence on his head and hid in the ranks of ordinary masters. Walking on the bustling mountain road, Qing Tong was very pleased with himself and looked quite contented.

Hanging out with Mr. Zheng, I really don’t have to worry about food and drink.

Look, Master Suishan will give you some face.

Zhou You took Chen Ping'an to the top of Suishan Mountain. Climbing up and looking into the distance, it made people feel that all the mountains outside this mountain were small.

Someone once said that Shinto is one in chaos.

Some people say that my way is consistent.

As for the two sides, who is right and who is wrong, who is the unity of all things, and who is the life of all things, for the time being, there is no answer.

Zhou You asked: "Why does this young fellow think you are Zheng Juzhong?"

Chen Pingan said frankly: "I was misled by Yun Qi from Jiuzhen Immortal Pavilion."

Zhou You smiled and said, "It seems that smart people are most afraid of Zheng Juzhong."

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Anyone who is too smart will be afraid of the smartest person."

Zhou You looked at Chen Pingan with a playful look.

Chen Pingan understood clearly, shook his head and said: "I may not be able to reach the mental state of senior brother and Mr. Zheng in this life."

Qing Tong did not dare to take a leisurely walk and climb the mountain. At this moment, he sat down at a noodle restaurant near the Tiger Temple and ate a bowl of hot plain noodles. The taste was excellent and it lived up to its reputation.

Zhou You said: "The opportunity that originally belonged to the 'Little Fengdu' Sword Pill has gone out of date and has now gone elsewhere."

Chen Ping'an smiled casually and said: "Just think of it as if you don't ask for more than one foot in your life."

Zhou You nodded, if he didn't have such magnanimity, why would he want to be a pure swordsman in the Fourteenth Realm? The identity of a hidden official is the most effective, and they are naturally close to you. But in this Middle-earth Divine Continent, etiquette has always been the most important. A person is young and energetic and ignores the rules. There are two different things. For the rest of the Tiger Mansion, I will say hello to you first. Just say that you will travel to the Five Mountains next, how about?"

Of course Chen Pingan would not refuse and thanked him.

Just let Qingtong finish the bowl of plain noodles.

Before leaving, Chen Ping'an and Tiger Tour clasped fists and thanked each other, "Suishan is the only place where my husband can enjoy drinking. From now on, as long as Luolu Mountain and Qingping Sword Sect are useful, I will just do my bidding."

Zhouyou was not polite to young people.

He is more kind than the old scholar.

Zhou You didn't have the slightest idea that Chen Ping'an was saying some flattering words.

Once the founders of the three religions disperse, there will be a new situation that has not been seen in the world for thousands of years.

It's just that no matter how unconstrained the fourteenth realm monks are, they will all show up one by one, and they will all have their own moves.

On the avenue, chaos arose.

Conspiracies and conspiracies are coming one after another.

You must know that before the Holy Master left Suishan, he once said to Li Sheng, "After I leave, the plan against you will follow, so be more careful."

The Five Mountains of Central China are Suishan, Guishan, Jiuyi Mountain, Yanzhi Mountain and Juxu Mountain.

The female tiger of Yanzhi Mountain is named Zhu Yuxian, and has a rather strange nickname, Kucai.

At that time, my husband was restored to the throne of the Confucian Temple. Congratulations were received from all directions in the Gongde Forest. Zhu Yuxian once sent a generous gift, including an origami swallow in black clothes.

Over at Jiuyi Mountain, the tiger presented a pot of Wenyun calamus as a gift.

However, the two tigers who were stationed in Guishan and Juxu Mountains respectively participated in the discussion at the Confucian Temple, but neither of them went to Gongde Forest.

On the Guishan side, it was because of an old grudge that they couldn't deal with the Wen Sheng lineage. A country has five mountains, and Guishan Mountain ranks high among the five mountains in a continent. There are many "five mountains" under its jurisdiction. One of the mountains was visited by an old scholar because of his disciple Jun Qian.

Huai Lian, the tiger who lives in Xushan Mountain, has never been involved in such worldly affairs.

However, Huai Lian has a great respect for the Great Wall of Sword Qi. He once publicly declared that if the Great Wall of Sword Qi fought a few more years, the world would have to fight a few fewer battles. Countless people have survived for me, Haoran. The meritorious service is extremely great.

The implication is that Tiger Huailian obviously admires the last hidden official of the Sword Qi Great Wall.

But then Chen Pingan and Qing Tong continued to travel far away, but they returned without success one after another. This was something Chen Pingan expected. He had to distinguish between public and private affairs. If it weren't for his husband's face, plus the Suishan travels I had told him beforehand that I would probably have to fight a few lawsuits at the Confucian Temple.

Although the female tiger Zhu Yuxian did not agree to Yin Guan's request to light the incense, she still warmly invited Chen Ping'an to go to the tiger temple and drink a cup of tea.

Qingtong finally got the benefit of the doubt and drank a cup of the famous Rizhu tea.

In addition, Jiuyi Mountain God was quite polite and appeared at the mountain gate to remind Chen Pingan that this kind of transgressive behavior should never be repeated.

However, he had a casual chat with Chen Ping'an, saying that the blushing lady would be free one day and she would be welcome to visit Jiuyi Mountain.

Chen Pingan agreed with a smile. Since ancient times, there has been a saying in Haoran Tianxia that "there are two and a half plum blossoms in the world, and one of them is in Jiuyi Mountain."

The tiger named "Tianjin" in Guishan Mountain did not see Chen Ping'an at all. He only asked a temple priest to come to the foot of the mountain and said, "I'm sorry for not being able to entertain guests. The hidden official can go back home."

Chen Pingan, who had received a solid rejection, stood outside the mountain gate and did not leave immediately. He put his hands behind his back and looked up at the plaque on the mountain gate.

Of course, the white-haired old Miao Zhu didn't dare to chase people away anymore. A small Miao Zhu couldn't afford this kind of fight between gods and gods.

If he hadn't known that Tiger Tiger was staring at what was going on at the mountain gate, Lao Miaozhu would have wanted to have a few polite words with this young hermit official who was famous all over the world.

But the God of Juxu Mountain showed up in person at the mountain gate, but he sneered at Chen Pingan and said a very "serious" sentence, "This is not an Ascension Realm Sword Cultivator, it will be in the future. Isn’t it true that every mountain in the world is my own portal, and I can come and leave as soon as I want?”

Chen Ping'an's heart rippled, and Qing Tong's voice sounded, "Since you know you can't do anything, why bother asking for trouble."

In fact, Qing Tong did not rub salt into Chen Ping'an's wounds, because such a rash visit would definitely annoy people in vain, and it would not be as unpleasant as in the market down the mountain. To take the simplest example of violating taboos, if Chen Pingan travels to the boundaries of Guishan Mountain and Juxu Mountain in the future, even if the two Five Mountain Monarchs don't know Chen Pingan's whereabouts at all, they will still find an illusory avenue out of thin air. Overwhelm.

Chen Ping'an said: "If you don't really ask for help, how will you know that there is nothing wrong?"

As long as there is any tiger on the Five Mountains in the Middle Earth, except Suishan Tour, who is willing to agree to this matter, such as Juxu Mountain Huailian nods, then Chen Ping'an will go through Guishan, Yanzhi and Jiushan all over again. Yishan. If Zhu Yuxian, the second person to visit, nodded in agreement, then the three tigers including Huai Lian might not be able to "send" Chen Pingan so easily. It’s not enough to just give some merit, what about fame and fortune? Chen Ping'an had already found out clearly about the boundaries of the Five Mountains, from Shenjun's Mansion to the many Taoist temples and temples in the mountains. He only mentioned Zhu Yuxian's relationship with the female swordsman Zhu Mei, who was also When she was a girl, Zhu Mei followed Lin Junbi to the Great Wall of Sword Qi. There is a lot of martial arts in Juxu Mountain, but is it too much for the tiger Huailian? For example, Chen Pingan promised to break through the realm by himself in the future, or who in Luolu Mountain could break through the realm with the strongest strength and would choose Juxu Mountain? And there are many sword cultivators in the Guishan realm, but the tiger king and his lineage of literary saints can't deal with them? From now on, those embryonic sword immortals with a secret lantern hanging from the Tiger Mansion behind their backs will have to take their time when going out to practice. It is best to be more decent and not be too arrogant. Otherwise, the flying sword will not last long when it comes to taking swords. Eyes. Furthermore, for example, the Niaoju Mountain where Fengjun's monastery is located is one of the two mountains of Chujun in Juxu Mountain.

Chen Pingan laughed at himself: "Four different things."

Cui Cheng, Zheng Juzhong, Wu Shuangjiang... are indeed difficult to learn.

If it were senior brother Cui Chan who took this trip to the Five Mountains of Middle-earth, with the same realm and the same identity, it is estimated that no matter what they think in their hearts, the five tigers would nod in the end.

Mount Guishan, known as the place where the moon sets, has an "honored guest" who cannot be chased away. Gu Qingsong, whose Taoist name is "Xiancha", is the unnamed disciple of Bai Yujingsan's master Lu Chen.

Gu Qingsong and the mountain king complained: "What's the matter with you? Why don't you listen to good advice at all? If you become a mountain god, you can't understand people, right?"

The elegant-looking old man in a Confucian shirt has become accustomed to this. Someone's words only need to go in the left ear and out the right ear.

Gu Qingsong thought to himself and said: "It's a bad habit of remembering to eat but not to fight. Why was it that the top of the mountain that was one of the candidates for the secondary mountain on your plate was not allowed to be visited by Liu Shiliu? You suffered a lot, and even called Liu Liuliu a flat-haired beast. What happened? He was trampled by the old scholar and fell into the earth for more than a hundred feet. Your immediate boss, you don’t learn from the good ones, but the bad ones. You have to learn from the old scholar to protect his shortcomings, right? What happened when he helped to quarrel and the quarrel reached the Confucian Temple? I heard that the embroidered tiger, who was Liu Shiliu's senior brother, directly gave it to the tiger on the top of the mountain. Nearly a hundred charges were listed, and every one of them was well-documented. Not to mention that the mountain failed to regain its height, and it was directly eaten in prison at Gongdelin. Is it delicious? Were you ashamed at that time? After all, you are a Dayue Mountain King. , why didn’t you directly use your natal supernatural power to help the Confucian Temple dig a hole? Now, who doesn’t know that the old scholar is most partial to Chen Ping’an, a closed disciple, so you are stepping on the pole to get into trouble?”

The old tiger frowned and said, "Is it over yet?"

Gu Qingsong sighed and said, "If I didn't have something to ask for, I would rarely tell you these truths."

The old tiger said: "I received an order from the Confucian Temple earlier, and I just obeyed the order."

Gu Qingsong asked in confusion: "Is it Naya Sheng who asked you to stumble Chen Ping'an?"

The old tiger said angrily: "Be careful what you say!"

Gu Qingsong thought to himself and said: "It's definitely not the case. If Ya Sheng and Wen Sheng don't deal with each other, it will still be a dispute of knowledge. A Liang is also a dog-headed strategist from Wen Sheng's lineage. The relationship between the two families is actually not as good as the outside world thinks. Poor. Otherwise, who is the leader of the Confucian Temple? It shouldn't be the case. Now the old scholar has just regained his divine status. I have the best relationship with the old scholar, who in the Confucian Temple is so stubborn?"

The old tiger said: "That decree has no signature."

Gu Qingsong rubbed his chin, "That's very strange. The young master always avoids doing secret things, but it's not Ya Sheng's instruction. Could it be that the Holy Master, like me, came to the side of Taoist Tianjin? , do you have anything to ask me?"

The old tiger said angrily: "Gu Qingsong, stop talking nonsense! If you dare to talk nonsense again, go down the mountain immediately."

Unexpectedly, Gu Qingsong dropped his sleeves and said, "Just leave."

He really just disappeared in a flash and went to the outside of the mountain.

Just a moment later, Gu Qingsong retreated back to his original place. Gu Qingsong said: "You kicked me out twice, and I came to ask for help three times in total. Fellow Taoist Tianjin, if you don't give me any face again, , I really want to curse people."

No matter how good the old tiger is at cultivating his qi, he still can't stand up to Gu Qingsong telling lies like this. How dare you, Xiancha, act like a mute without opening his mouth before?

Gu Qingsong shook his head and said: "It's not as good as a young man in his early forties who can keep his composure. Fellow Taoist Tianjin, how old is he to live like a fool?"

Among the many mountain monks in the world, at least half of their popular "nicknames" came from Gu Qingsong.

It has to be said that it is a miracle that this person is still alive and well today.

In Juxu Mountain, a new wine shop has opened in recent years, but it is not well-known and the threshold is high, so there have always been few customers.

At present, apart from the old shopkeeper and a shopkeeper named Xu Jia, there is only one drinker in the wine shop, Tiger Huailian.

An old Taoist priest riding a green ox, carrying a luggage cross-body, decorated with a row of green bamboo tubes, clashing with each other, crisp and sweet.

I saved enough money for drinks, so I went to drink again today.

In the ancient times, there were real people governing each of the five mountains in the Middle Earth, and there were three real people among them. The place where their government was located was the boundary of Juxu Mountain.

And this prince, who was known as the Qingniu Taoist Priest, happened to be one of the three immortals, one main, two deputy, and his seat was Niaoju Mountain, one of the deputy mountains of Juxu Mountain.

The old Taoist priest came here to revisit his old place after leaving the night ship, and reopened the monastery at the old site in the mountain. However, the authority he held in the past has become a thing of the past.

In the early days, the real people in charge of the Five Mountains and Dadu in the world were not the mountain kings and water gods, but the "land gods" invited by their sages to come out of the mountains.

After Li Sheng abolished all the real people's offices, Fengjun went out to travel in the mountains. As a result, he provoked Pei Min, a swordsman. The world was so big that no paradise in the cave seemed to be safe, so he had to hide on the night boat. .

The old Taoist priest put the green cow outside the door, went into the wine shop alone, had a Taoist meeting with the tiger Huailian, and then asked the old shopkeeper for a pot of Wangyou wine.

People are in high spirits when happy events happen. On the night boat, the old Taoist priest and the young hermit official made a deal and got a picture of the true shape of the Five Mountains showing the rank of the ancestors. Harmony brings wealth. This is called harmony brings wealth.

To be honest, today Chen Ping'an failed to climb the mountain in the end. The old Taoist priest was actually very sorry. On the way here, he thought that when he went to the wine shop and met the unkind tiger Huailian, he must say a few words of injustice for the young hermit official. Just fine.

There was a birdcage on the counter, and there was a yellow bird inside. When he saw the old Taoist priest who came to sit down, he said: "Trash, trash."

The old Taoist priest was not annoyed at all. He stroked his beard and smiled and said: "A poor Taoist cultivator is not a pure martial artist who only knows how to fight and kill. He can have a few kilograms of martial arts luck."

Xu Jia put the wine pot and white bowl on the table and said, "The tiger master just said that Chen Ping'an was not mentioned, but that the sycamore tree spirit from the Demon Suppressing Tower, in addition to his cultivation in the Ascension Realm, can also be regarded as A semi-talented martial artist."

Feng Jun smiled and said: "Why do you want to compete with a sycamore tree? It won't be a problem."

The old shopkeeper was lying on the counter and said with a smile: "Back then, my eyesight was so stupid that I couldn't see the depth of that hidden official's martial arts skills."

As soon as he mentioned the young Yinguan who had drank twice in his own shop, Xu Jia, the shopkeeper, got angry and said angrily: "The "Nothing" brand of the small wine shop in Jianqi Great Wall is all learned from our shop. .”

Feng Jun took a sip of his drink, stroked his beard and sighed: "Previously on a night boat ride, Pindao and fellow Taoist Chen fell in love at first sight, and they had a long discussion about Taoism. Each had their own wonderful methods to strengthen each other. Taoist Chen once said, 'There is no flaw in the Taoism in the world.'" , It’s just that the Taoist priest on the street is worried. What he said is really... watertight. It’s no wonder that at such a young age, he can occupy high positions and perform successive feats."

Xu Jia said: "That guy is just lucky."

The old shopkeeper smiled and shook his head. Because Xu Jia and Cao Ci were friends, he always looked at Chen Pingan with displeasure.

Feng Jun shook his head, held the bowl in one hand, raised the other hand, and retorted: "This is wrong. I underestimate Taoist Chen too much. A person is very hungry and can eat nine big meat buns in one breath. Ordinary people eat steamed buns. The more you eat, the worse it will be. If the first bun tastes the same as the ninth bun, you are a Taoist. I have traveled all over the world and read countless people like Taoist Chen. , there are only a handful of them.”

Huailian said: "You two can ask whatever you want, no need to beat around the bush."

One deliberately mentioned Chen Pingan, and the other took advantage of the situation. In the final analysis, he was still curious about why he refused Chen Pingan to climb the mountain.

Feng Jun asked curiously: "Since fellow Taoist Huailian has no ill feelings toward the young hermit officer, and even has some undisguised good impressions of him, why are he not allowed to climb the mountain today, and why do you want to make unnecessary remarks and deliberately say a few hurtful words?" Strong words?"

Huailian sneered and said: "Sword cultivators don't care about their own realm, so do they still care about their status?"

Feng Jun shook the wine bowl, "But after all, this is not a reason not to let him climb the mountain, right?"

In addition to his status as a swordsman, Chen Ping'an is also a martial artist who can compete with Cao Ci in four rounds.

Huailian said: "The reasons are given, believe it or not, it's up to you."

Feng Jun looked regretful and said: "It's a pity that the information on the ship was not well-informed. Otherwise, even if the poor Taoist was selling iron, he would have to scrape together a sum of Grain Rain money to bet on Chen Daoyou to win Cao Ci."

Regarding Cao Ci and Chen Ping'an, two martial artists of the same age, in the Qingbai dispute in the Merit Forest, the monks on the mountain and the martial artists at the foot of the mountain discussed and argued endlessly.

Generally speaking, it is the monks on the mountain who admire Cao Ci and feel that in the future martial arts, Chen Ping'an will never be able to truly stand side by side with Cao Ci in this life, so he can only catch up all the way.

Cao Cihui has been Chen Pingan's lifelong martial arts master. If he is lucky, he can get the title of "No. 2 in the World".

However, most pure martial artists recognize Chen Pingan more.

There is only one point of view, and everyone on the mountain and the mountain can reach a consensus.

That means we don’t talk about the final level of martial arts between Cao and Chen, but only talk about the process of practicing martial arts and boxing.

You can learn from Chen Ping'an, but you don't need to learn from Cao Ci.

Chen Ping'an and Qing Tong left the Middle-earth Divine Continent, returned to Aquarius Continent, and walked to a ridge road called Watershed.

Qing Tong said in disbelief: "Have you really visited the mountain temple here? Even if it's over, can you return to Tongye Sect?"

Chen Ping'an hummed.

Wei Wei, the goddess of the mountain, walked out of the clay statue inside the temple. When she saw the young swordsman in a blue shirt and long coat and cloth shoes, she felt a little embarrassed.

Mr. Chen, Chen Jianxian, Master Chen, Lord Yinguan?

If Wei Wei remembers correctly, this is the fourth time that Chen has come here.

In less than thirty years, four times!

Hey.

Could it be?

As soon as she thought about it, she wanted to give herself a slap in the face. Are you stupid after reading that landscape travel book? ! Have you forgotten the scene when you first met?

There is never any pity or pity for jade, only ruthless hands can destroy flowers.

Nowadays, the mountain temple is considered wealthy and developed.

Wei Wei had to admit that it was all thanks to the person in front of him. The methods that Chen Jianxian taught to his ancestral temple were really effective.

Chen Ping'an sat on the bluestone bench outside the temple and said with a smile: "Everything is always difficult at the beginning. If one thing goes well, everything will go well. I am happy and congratulated."

Wei Wei stood under the green pine tree beside him and said with a grin: "If there weren't many things to do, and I, a little mountain god, have an unstable foundation and difficulty in moving, otherwise I would have gone to Luolu Mountain to visit Chen Jianxian to say thank you."

Previously, she had let the ancestral temple serve as the maid of the god. According to the method described by Chen Ping'an, she imitated the goddess in the book and fell into a dream. She traveled with the son who came to Beijing to take the exam. The scholar, who looked rather ugly but was quite knowledgeable, regarded it as a good omen after waking up from the dream, so he was full of confidence. In the imperial examination hall in the capital, his ideas really flowed out like a spring, and he wrote like a god.

Although he did not get the first or third place in Jinshi, he still got the first place in the second place, and was called to the Golden Palace. Later, he was even admitted to the Hanlin Academy without examination. He was directly awarded the post of reviewer and was ranked seventh. If nothing unexpected happens, six ministries will soon be assigned to serve as chiefs. If he is released to the capital again, he will start as a county magistrate in the officialdom. Moreover, it is said that in the capital examination, the examiner who had been in charge of the country's cultural standing for more than 20 years, as well as the examiners, were full of praise for this person's examination papers. It was only because of his slightly abnormal performance in the subsequent palace examination that he did not become one of the most popular candidates. His Majesty the Emperor drew the first three names in a circle with a red pen.

When Shizi was in high school and on his way back to his hometown from Beijing, he went straight to the mountain temple, offered incense, kowtowed, and wrote an inscription on the wall. When he returned to his study, he wrote a poem and recorded it in his collection, specifically describing this magical event. He planned to write it in the future. Published.

The scholar thought it was a dream, and the dream came true. For Wei Wei and the two attendant goddesses, it was not the case.

Chen Ping'an reminded with a smile: "In the future, read more sage books and read less miscellaneous books."

Wei Wei still doesn't know that this is actually the fifth time Chen Ping'an has come here.

It's just that last time I saw Wei Wei and two temple maids chatting about a book of landscape travels, they had such a lively conversation that the Mountain Goddess laughed so much that she rolled on the mat on the floor.

Chen Ping'an didn't show up so as not to spoil the scenery.

Wei Wei was confused and could only nod in agreement.

Nowadays, dozens of red lanterns secretly made by the mountain temple are lit on the boundary of the temple.

In market language, there is a saying, "I protect so-and-so". In fact, the word "cover" has a lot of knowledge.

Within the jurisdiction of the Mountain God Ancestral Temple, those lanterns include those from high-ranking counties and noble families, as well as those from humble noble families, and half of the lanterns are in the streets, alleys, and rural villages.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Isn't it difficult to borrow again?"

Before, Wei Wei owed a lot of debt to the county God's Temple. Logically speaking, even if he got a fortune now, after repaying the debt, the mountain temple would definitely not be able to build such a large number of incense lanterns.

This is just like Huang Tingguo, which is considered to have strong water transport. It is already a little difficult to seal the rivers and rivers including the Five Mountains and Hanshi River. This is why the Tieguan River in front of Ziyang Mansion has never been upgraded to a river. Jiang Shui Zhengshen, it’s not that the Emperor Huang Tingguo didn’t want to have a relationship with the Ziyang Mansion, it was really a country with limited luck and weak intentions.

Wei Wei said with a guilty conscience: "In exchange for the wine debt, I owe a new debt, and I still have to pay it back."

Chen Ping'an smiled and helped "explain", "Just not in a hurry?"

Wei Wei smiled awkwardly and said bravely: "I am in a hurry to repay it. I am debt-free and I understand the truth. I do want to set a time limit, but none of the neighboring counties and counties said that they are not in a hurry. They will wait. I’ve accumulated enough incense here and it won’t be too late, and the Zhouchenghuang Temple even took the initiative to ask me if I need incense.”

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "That's right. Jianghu helps the urgent but not the poor. Relatives help the poor but not the lazy."

Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. The neighbors on the mountain are nothing more than the mansion of the Immortal family, plus the gods of the mountains and rivers, the City God Temple and the Wenwu Temple.

In the past, Wei Wei's mountain temple was a pauper who couldn't make ends meet, and Wei Wei, the newly promoted mountain god empress, seemed to be bad at running things. Now, of course, things are different.

Chen Ping'an suddenly asked: "What's the name of the pilgrim who donated money to build the temple?"

Wei Wei smiled brightly and said, "Zhang Guidong."

Chen Pingan silently wrote down the name.

Before, Wei Wei found a place on the mountain and built a small temple. There was a local pilgrim who donated two considerable sums of sesame oil money. This man was good at charity, but he did not seek fame. He worked on building bridges and paving roads. , the most generous.

Wei Wei later invited a lonely old woman who was kind-hearted and a Buddhist to come to the temple to serve as a temple blessing. Some old women nearby would also come to the temple from time to time to help.

Chen Ping'an mentioned the matter of Xinxiang, and of course Wei Wei agreed without hesitation, and had already begun to have fun secretly. She no longer knew how to calculate, and knew that she was going to be really wealthy this time.

After paying off the debts to those city gods, there must be a surplus for the mountain temple!

You can now create a batch of red lanterns secretly made by the Mountain God Mansion!

But Wei Wei remembered something and asked cautiously: "My mountain temple, after all, occupies the site of the old temple, will it violate a taboo? Does it count as...dove occupying the magpie's nest?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and shook his head and said, "Don't think too much. If you really feel sorry for yourself, just hold a temple fair every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month to try to add some incense to the temple."

Wei Wei's eyes lit up, "Temple fair?"

Chen Ping'an said: "You just rent out the shop and charge some rent. The rent should be less but not too much. From now on, you can rely on this steady stream of income to save some money little by little. Then you can hire a group of skilled craftsmen from the mountains. Follow the scrolls at the foot of the mountain and the sixteen true pictures and the eighteen Arhat pictures on the fans to build an Arhat hall. Once this is done, you will regard it as a fulfillment of your wish. However, I personally suggest that it is best to erect an Arhat hall to worship the five gods. In the Arhat Hall with hundreds of Arhat statues, people who enter can first select an Arhat according to their age and birth date and start counting, and then count all the way. Which Arhat they count at the end will be protected by that Arhat."

Wei Wei widened his eyes and said, "Is this okay?!"

Wei Wei's words were full of sighs, Chen Ping'an, what kind of swordsman or mountain master do you think you are? You should go do business.

If I were the founder of the business, I would make you the second in command!

Chen Ping'an laughed angrily and said, "I'm not talking nonsense, that's what I'm paying attention to."

When I took Pei Qian and Cao Qinglang on a long trip, I passed by a temple. This was indeed said in that big temple.

Wei Wei angrily put his hands together and said, "Sincerity leads to spirituality, and sincerity leads to spirituality."

Chen Pingan stood up and was hesitating about something. He had more merit than expected. Where should he use it?

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in my heart, asking something.

"Chen Pingan, what do you think of the three-fourth dispute?"

Chen Pingan hesitated for a moment and gave his answer.

The man smiled and said: "Very good, you can go back."

In Tongyezhou, in the corridor of the Demon Suppressing Tower, Lu Yan asked with a smile: "What answer can satisfy the Holy Master so much?"

This problem is not a big one.

As a close disciple of the Literary Sage lineage, if Chen Pingan wants to answer appropriately, the key is to be sincere, which is naturally extremely difficult.

The Most Holy Master stroked his beard and smiled, "Chen Ping'an only said one sentence, 'Master said that there is no distinction between teachings.'"

Even Lu Yan was stunned for a long time. After thinking for a moment, he patted the railing and laughed loudly: "I feel inferior to you."
