Sword of Coming

Chen Ping found A Liang at the corner restaurant.

A Liang was hooking up with a swordsman, saying, "Why are you sad? Nalan Caihuan has your heart, so what, can she get your body?" Impossible, she Nalan Caihuan has no such ability. The man didn't feel any better, but he wanted to drink more and more. He reached out unsteadily and picked up the wine bottle on the table. It was empty. A Liang quickly asked for another bottle of wine. Hearing boos from all over, he saw thank you. The lady twisted her waist and walked around the counter. She looked out of the restaurant with a smile on her face. A Liang turned around and saw that it was Chen Ping'an who was here. At the Great Wall of Sword Qi, we scholars are so precious. We are welcome wherever we go. .

After Chen Pingan sat down, he smiled and said: "A-Liang, I invite you to have a meal at Ning Mansion. I will cook it myself."

Mrs. Xie put a pot of wine on the table, but did not sit down. Ah Liang nodded and agreed to Chen Pingan's invitation. Now he looked up at the woman. Ah Liang's drunken eyes were hazy, and he looked left and right, " Xie sister, what’s going on, I can’t even see your face anymore.”

The woman sneered and said: "Are you going to talk about how you can see two upside-down mountains every time you are drunk? There is nothing new to say. Ah Liang, you are old. Look through the Second Shopkeeper's Jianjianxian Seal Book more, that is A scholar should have something to say."

Xie Meizi likes the new and dislikes the old, A Liang is a little sad.

The two left, and after Chen Ping'an walked some distance away, he said: "When I looked through old files at the summer palace, I only said that Xie Yuan was seriously injured. After that, Mrs. Xie made a living selling wine."

A Liang shook off the alcohol and slapped his cheek, "It's wrong to call her Mrs. Xie, and she has never been married. Xie Yuan was born in Yangliu Lane and has excellent sword training qualifications. He stood out at a young age. Compared with Yue Qing and Mi Hu is younger and is a sword cultivator of the same generation as Nalan Caihuan, and together with Cheng Quan and Zhao, the woman whom I have longed for, they were the most outstanding young girls on the Great Sword Qi Wall back then."

A Liang said with emotion: "The light rain was falling, the sky and the earth were hazy, and the handsome scholar suddenly saw a woman walking with an umbrella. She was dressed in green clothes. She held the umbrella like flowers blooming on the street, and the person was like a willow leaning against the spring rain. She was absolutely beautiful."

Chen Pingan said: "Remove the 'handsome scholar' and leave only the woman, and the picture will be really beautiful."

A Liang smiled and said: "Without that handsome scholar seeing it with his own eyes, how would you know about this beauty?"

A Liang continued: "Xie Yuan exchanged a natal flying sword with a junior sister of Sword Immortal Shou Chen on the battlefield, and each of them shattered. Then she was seriously injured and had no time to evacuate, so Shou Chen rushed to her and supplemented her. A sword. If Xie Yuan had not suffered this disaster, it would be easy for Xie Yuan to reach the fifth realm. Therefore, Xie Yuan and Wen Hai have a close relationship and have a sworn hatred. You beat the Jia Shen Zhang Liu in vain. Half dead, Xie Yuan is naturally grateful to you."

A Liang gloated: "For this kind of thing, when you meet in person, you can just say thank you. Why make an exception and not charge money."

Only then did Chen Pingan understand that A Liang would not ask him to go to a wine shop for a drink for no reason.

It turned out that it was to untie the knot for Xie Yuan. Of course, A Liang also drank for nothing.

When they arrived at Ning Mansion, Chen Pingan went to the kitchen to cook. Aunt Bai helped, and the two chatted about trivial matters.

A Liang was in the wing of Chen Ping'an's residence, flipping through the thunderous book of Jian Jian Xian Seal Book. There were many blank fans and plain seals made of plain material on the table, but it looked like he didn't know how to write or write. .

Ning Yao sat aside and asked: "What is going on with the demon outside the sky? Isn't it possible that the White Jade Capital can't completely suppress it?"

Haoran Tianxia has never had a definite explanation of the origin of the demon. As for the sword cultivators of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, they didn't care at all.

A Liang only gave a general idea: "It's not the trouble caused by us cultivators. We can't clean our own butts, so we can only deceive ourselves and others and let it go. Year after year, floods occur, and Qingming's world can only use The stupidest way is to build a dike to block the water, build a dike to contain the water, and raise it higher and higher. Over time, it will become a dangerous scene of "flood above the head, hanging high in the sky". It cannot be entirely blamed on Bai Yujing's stinky nose for not treating the symptoms. Treating the root cause and tracing back to the source, every Qi practitioner has the responsibility. It is said that Dao Lao Er's senior brother has been committed to finding a way to cure the root cause. Dao Lao Er and Lu Chen actually have their own corresponding strategies, but they are just one of them. The method was deliberate and cruel, but Lu Chen's method was too casual, so I guess Dao Ancestor is not very satisfied with it, so more hope is still pinned on the eldest disciple."

The three masters of Bai Yujing are the three patriarchs under the Tao Ancestor in Qing Ming World. However, the title of the Taoist Patriarch is self-proclaimed by the Taoists, and of course the various schools of thought will not recognize it.

A Liang said with a smile: "Don't blame me for being vague. I don't mean to offend you. It's just that the speaker has no intention and the listener has the intention. Once a cultivator has the intention, it is often a big obstacle, especially this demon who has transformed from the outside. When dealing with it, it becomes more and more difficult. The more powerless a genius is. Of course, nothing is absolute, there are always exceptions, and you, Ning Yatou, are the exception. But once I tell you, it is inappropriate, so it is better to just let nature take its course."

Ning Yao nodded.

The reason why she asked about the demon outside was because she was still worried about Chen Pingan's future ability to form a golden elixir and give birth to a Nascent Soul.

As for herself, she didn't seem to have any hidden worries. It would not be difficult for Ning Yao to break into the realm of Jindan and Nascent Soul, or even the Yupu realm, which was just a stone's throw away.

A Liang revealed another secret, "The Taoist priests in the Qingming world are busy and not relaxed. It is a different battlefield from the Great Wall of Sword Qi, but the level of tragedy is similar. The Buddhist countries in the West are similar. Under the nine springs, the innocent souls Fierce ghosts gather like a sea, who do you blame?"

Ning Yao said, "Human?"

A Liang said: "Literacy begins with worry in life. So once a person cultivates the Tao, of course there are more worries and more hidden dangers."

Ning Yao asked suspiciously: "Ah Liang, you should talk to Chen Pingan about these words, he can answer the words."

A Liang said with a smile: "I won't burden him anymore. Girl Ning, you'll forget it after hearing it, so it's right to talk to you."

A Liang twisted a plain jade-like badge in the palms of his hands, without engravings on it, and said slowly: "Cultivation, after all, is overwhelmed by the Dao of Heaven and Earth, and on the way of practice, I am used to it, so I have to lose it. Take and don’t give, just take and don’t let go, of course there will be endless troubles. The sages climbed mountains and practiced, drinking poison to quench their thirst, so it’s impossible not to drink. We younger generations are just greedy for drinking, thinking and thinking, the ancients and the present are really two people. That's why there is such a sentence, the ancient people are externalized but not internalized, and today's people are internalized but not externalized. This is the old people who are really angry, so they can't help cursing from the bottom of their hearts. But the old man We, deep in our hearts, actually hope that the young people in the future can prove that their angry words are wrong."

A Liang put away the plain badge, put it back in its original place, and said with a smile: "No matter what, the characters must be recognized, the books must be read, the Tao must be cultivated, the road must be walked, and the food must be eaten." !"

Ning Yao said: "Don't persuade Chen Pingan to drink."

A Liang got up and said, "Have a drink, I promise not to drink too much, but you have to drink. If the wine seller doesn't drink, it must be the shopkeeper's heart. I have to help the second shopkeeper prove his innocence."

In today's Ning Mansion, there are four people at a table eating together, all of which are home-cooked dishes.

Chen Ping can only drink a bowl of wine.

A Liang was not polite, sat on the main seat, and asked with a smile: "Your brothers are on the left and right, have you never been to Ning Mansion?"

Chen Ping said helplessly: "As I mentioned before, the senior brother said that the master did not even visit the Ning Mansion. He, a student, went to the door first to put on airs. What's the matter? It's heavier, it should be blamed for my ignorance."

A Liang took a sip of his wine, shook his head and said, "You are also stupid, you don't know how to tell the left and right that you will vacate the main seat for the old scholar? The old scholar is equivalent to taking a seat in advance. As a student, how dare he not take a seat?" Accompanying? Even if Mr. is not by your side, you should be in your heart."

Chen Ping felt reasonable and deeply regretted. With the big brother's temper, I believe that as long as I move out of the husband, it will work whether I am present or not.

Ah Liang is worthy of being an old Jianghu, but he still lacks a lot of skills.

Nanny Bai complained: "Young Master is an honest person, not as twisted as you, A Liang."

A Liang quickly raised his wine bowl, "Miss Bai, I'll punish myself with a drink, you can drink a bowl with Brother A Liang."

Bai Lianshuang glared at A Liang, but didn't respond, but helped Ning Yao and Chen Pingan pick up a chopstick dish respectively.

She is a bad old woman, she is called a girl by others, or in front of the young lady and uncle, is it plausible?

A Liang looked at the white-haired old woman, feeling a little sad.

I remember that when I first met Bai Lianshuang, she seemed to be a slim girl, a pure martial artist, after all, no better than a female Qi fighter, it was a disadvantage.

The sword cultivator of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, it is difficult to tell her real age just by looking at her appearance.

Nalan Yexing, who was in charge of the Ning Mansion, was actually not old when he first saw the young girl Bai Lianshuang. He looked like a man in his early forties, but later on, Bai Lianshuang first changed from a girl to a young woman, His head has white hair, and Nalan Yexing has also fallen from the fairyland to jade, and his appearance suddenly looks old. In fact, when Nalan Yexing looked like a middle-aged man, in A Liang's words, Brother Nalan, you are a bit pretty, and when you come to Haoran Tianxia, ​​you are in high demand!

And Bai Lianshuang, who was very beautiful when he was young, was born as a maidservant of the Yao family, but in the Sword Qi Great Wall where there are many sword masters and few warriors, he was not worried about marriage in the early days.

It's just that Bai Lianshuang has a high vision and excellent martial arts aptitude, and he doesn't take a fancy to any sword fairy man. Year after year, the little girl becomes an old girl, and the old girl accidentally becomes an old mother.

A Liang smiled and said: "Miss Bai, you may not know, Nalan Yexing, and Jiang Yun's grandfather, the one named Jiang Chu and nicknamed Shizi, he is about the same age as you, and there are several others who are still alive today. Alcoholic beating bachelors, I saw you in the early years, don't look at them, they were all scared to death, they didn't dare to speak, they met each other in private, and they scolded each other for being shameless, Jiang Chu especially liked to scold Nalan Yexing Don't be ashamed to be old, no matter how old you are, seniors will obediently be seniors, Nalan Yexing's scolding skills are really bad, it's horrible, but fortunately he is good at fighting, I once saw him in the middle of the night, taking advantage of Jiang Chu's sleep So, I sneaked into the Jiang family's mansion, went to hit the sap, knocked out first with one stick, and then hit the face with a few more sticks, all in one go, the stick didn't break anyone and didn't leave, every time Jiang Chu woke up, he didn't know how his nose was bruised and his face was swollen Yes, and later bought several exorcism talismans with me."

The old woman laughed it off, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the empty space near the gate.

Ning Yao was a little worried and looked at Chen Pingan.

Chen Ping shook her head lightly, signaling her not to worry.

There are some words, Nanny Bai is the elder in the family, Chen Ping'an is just a junior after all, so it's not easy to speak.

It is suitable for A Liang.

A Liang and Bai Lianshuang recited some old stories.

Nanny Bai didn't say anything, she just listened.

She really doesn't know many people and things related to herself, because she has never paid attention to it before, and maybe it is because she is only in this mountain.

Chen Ping found that Ning Yao was also listening very seriously, so he was a little helpless.

A Liang asked suddenly: "Chen Pingan, in your hometown, there are not many girls of the same age that you miss or like you?"

Without hesitation, Chen Pingan said, "No. I'm too young to understand these things. Besides, I went to the Dragon Kiln as an apprentice very early. According to the old rules in my hometown, women are not allowed to approach the kiln entrance."

A Liang said: "No, I heard from Li Huai that there is a family next door to your house in Niping Lane. Where to go? Li Huai said that you get up early every morning to help carry water, and that a hole was dug in the wall of your house, and you only missed opening a window."

Every day you uncle.

Chen Ping slandered in his heart, and said: "Liu Xianyang likes her, but I don't. And when Li Huai saw you, A Liang, he never went to Niping Lane at all. He never went to the iron house to fetch water from Li Huai's house The side of the lock well is too far away. My house has two walls, one side is next to no one lives, and the other side is next to Song Jixin's house. Li Huai's nonsense, whoever believes it is stupid."

Ning Yao said: "I've seen her before, and she looks pretty. She's not tall. Looking at Chen Pingan's yard in the next yard, if she doesn't stand on tiptoe, I can only see half of her head."

A Liang rubbed his chin, obviously wanting to chat again, Chen Ping raised the wine bowl and drank it down, "After drinking, I'll eat."

During this meal, Ah Liang was bragging about his past deeds in the world, what interesting mountain gods, daffodils, and ghosts he met, saying that he once saw a ghostly scholar who "eats words and becomes fat", and he really knows how to eat books , Eating books can really improve your cultivation base. Fortunately, by accident, I participated in a banquet in the mountains, which was euphemistically called the Banquet of the Hundred Flowers, and met a little girl who was hiding and crying. Writing about Basho made her low-level and was not seen by her sisters. A Liang was filled with righteous indignation, and together with the little girl scolded that scholars are not a thing, then A Liang wrote a few poems on the spot, inscribed them on the leaves, and planned to give them to the little girl, but the little girl ended up with a poem for each leaf I didn't take it all, and ran away, crying even harder for some reason. A Liang also said that he once looked at the mirror in the mirror with a few pairs of skeletons in the mountain tomb. He said that he knew the fairy among them, but he didn't believe anyone.

Once on the small bridge in the market, I saw a woman on the mountain who was famous for being as cold as ice. Seeing no one around, she twirled the corners of her skirt, very cute. He also once encountered a group of gossip-ridden female ghosts on a weedy mountain path, which frightened everyone to death. I also met a lonely little girl on the dilapidated tomb, she was in a daze, and when she saw him, she yelled a ghost, bumped all the way, ran around, sank into the ground, and jumped out, but she couldn't get away. A Liang had no choice but to explain to the little girl that he was a good ghost and would not harm others. In the end, the little girl who regained her senses little by little felt sad for A Liang and asked him how long it had been since he had seen the sun. Later, before Ah Liang left, he built a small nest for the little girl. The site is not big, it can hide wind and gather water, and see the sun.

Up to this point, the man who had been in high spirits lost his smile and took a big sip of wine, "I passed by again later, I went to find the little girl, and wanted to know if she had grown up. I couldn't see it. I only found out after asking." The immortal master who passed by killed the demon without asking the reason. I remember when the little girl said goodbye to me happily, she told me, haha, we are ghosts, and I don’t have to be afraid of ghosts anymore. "

A Liang picked up a peanut, put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully, "As long as I think a little more, even a little bit, for example, I don't think of a little ghost so much, so I am a little bit good, who is in the wilderness? Will you care, why must I take you to a certain mountain and water god to settle down? After moving the nest, receiving some incense, and gaining a security, will the little girl not be so happy instead? Don't think too much about it , I think too much, the places where I should think more, such as the monks on the mountain, ask with all my heart, never think too much, there are so many things in the world, I don’t think too much.”

A Liang murmured: "Many years have passed, and I still want to know if such a little girl who has no one to rely on for life and death will actually remember that swordsman when she completely leaves the world, will she remember that swordsman?" Want to have a word with that guy? If so, what would she say? Never know."

When Ah Liang said this, he looked at Chen Pingan, "I told you the nonsense of not taking care of it, you didn't listen to it, it's good, this is the mud leg of the Lizhu cave I know, what I saw in my eyes , It’s all big things. I don’t think Ah Liang is a sword fairy anymore, why bother to let go of such trivial things, and bring up the old things at the wine table.”

A Liang raised his wine bowl and drank it all by himself.

The parting of life and death of the strong still has a sense of grandeur, while the joys and sorrows of the weak are silent, and it is not clear whether there is that whimper.

Ning Yao and Nanny Bai left the dinner table first, saying that they would go to Zhanlongya Pavilion to sit together, Ning Yao asked Chen Pingan to accompany Ah Liang to have a drink, and Chen Pingan said that he would come to clean up the dishes later.

After the two finished drinking, Chen Pingan sent A Liang to the gate.

Chen Pingan suddenly remembered that Ah Hao seemed to be in the Great Wall of Sword Qi, and he had never had a serious place to stay.

All he knew was that every time A Liang drank his wine, he would swing around the sword, and those idle private houses left by the sword fairy outside the city could just live there.

On the other side of the city, he can also lie down and sleep.

A Liang said: "In the next six months, you won't be able to go down to the city to fight anyway, so make a good plan for yourself, raise your sword, practice boxing and refining things, and you will be busy with others. There is Shou Miao sitting in the summer palace. Even if a few young outsiders leave, they can fill in the vacancies and continue to perform their duties. Chunfanzhai and Yanming can't miss anything. Let me give you a suggestion, you can do more Go a few times to the prison of the old deaf son, if you have nothing to do, go and experience the suppression of the realm of the great monster in the fairyland. Unfortunately, the head of the Ascension Realm has been pulled out, otherwise the effect will be better. I will fight with the old deaf son Say hello, keep an eye on it for you, there will be no accidents. Your natal supernatural power of the bird in the cage, and the bottleneck of the martial artist of the seven realms, you can take this opportunity to hone it."

Chen Pingan hesitated to speak.

A Liang said: "It can't be delayed anymore, and there is no need to delay it any longer. Just half a year is enough for the boss Sword Immortal to arrange a retreat."

Chen Pingan nodded.

A Liang smiled and said, "For the past six months, I've been here."

Ah Liang suddenly said: "The boss sword fairy is a kind man, with high sword skills, good character, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a strong back. That is a handsome appearance..."

Chen Ping was at a loss, not knowing why A Liang's flattery was so blunt, and then Chen Ping found himself on top of the Sword Qi Great Wall.

Near the hut, there are either the old sword fairy or the great sword fairy.

The tomboy Yuan Haohua once gave them the top ten sword immortals in the minds of these children.

Boss Sword Immortal, Dong Sangeng, A Liang, Lord Yinguan, Chen Xi, Qi Tingji, Left and Right, Nalan Shaowei, Old Deaf, Lu Zhi.

At this moment, Chen Pingan's senior brothers were already in Tongye Continent, replaced by A Liang who had returned to the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

As for Mr. Yin Guan, he is still there, but he has also changed from Xiao Yun to Chen Pingan.

For some reason today, ten people need to gather at the top of the city.

The old sword celestial Chen Xi took the initiative to smile at the young hermit, and Chen Ping returned the salute with a clasped fist.

With his hands behind his hands, Chen Qing asked with a smile: "Master Yinguan, you are the only one here who is not a sword fairy."

Chen Ping nodded helplessly.

Nalan Shaowei squinted and smiled.

Chen Ping turned a blind eye and listened but didn't hear.

A Liang and the old deaf child hooked shoulders together, muttering to each other. The old deaf child bowed his head, twirled his beard with his fingers, glanced at the young hermit, and then nodded vigorously.

Chen Qingdu said: "After talking about things, let's go."

Most of the sword fairies returned with their swords.

Even Ah Liang didn't say anything, and went for a walk with the old deaf child.

Chen Pingan froze on the spot. what?

Chen Qingdu waved his hand and said, "Bringing you over here is just to make up the numbers."

Chen Pingan tentatively asked: "Boss Sword Immortal, is there really nothing wrong with me?"

Chen Qingdu shook his head with pity in his eyes.

Chen Pingan had no choice but to sacrifice the amulet and return to the city in a daze.

Previously at the north side of the city, I saw Fengxue Temple Sword Immortal who was practicing swords, and said hello, saying that Wei Dajian Immortal was basking in the sun.

With a smile on his face, Wei Jin looked at the distant talisman boat with the same pitiful eyes as the boss sword fairy, feeling silly, a little silly.

After returning to Ning Mansion, I only saw Mother Bai at the gazebo, but not Ning Yao. The old woman just smiled and said that she didn't know where the lady was going.

Chen Pingan had nothing to do for a while, but he didn't know what to do, so Yu Jian went to the Summer Palace to find something to do.

Ning Yao was sitting in his room, writing the word "Chen" seriously.

After finishing writing, I lay down on the table in a daze.

On the table, next to the landscape travel notes presented by Chen Pingan, several books were placed. Every page was filled with Chen Pingan's name, and only his name was written.

Write Chen today, Ping tomorrow, and An the day after tomorrow.

Only write one word a day, one Chen Ping every three days.

She is not the same as Chen Pingan. After Chen Pingan met her, she has gone through thousands of mountains and rivers, and has stories big and small.

After she reunited with Chen Pingan in the inverted mountain, her story seems to be only one Chen Pingan.
