After stealing his father's candidate map of a county, the thief Liu Gaohua felt guilty and felt that fifty taels of silver was a bit hot, so he wanted to make up for it, so he left the three bearded swordsmen in the living room and ran to his father's house.
The official who handles government affairs said that during his travels, he met the immortals in the books. Among them, the bearded man who wielded the sword was a famous knight in the world. He was the number one master in the county.
He may not be his three-in-one enemy, and he must not be neglected. There is also Zhang Tianshi from Longhu Mountain, who carries a mahogany sword on his back. He has a strong family background and can kill demons and subjugate demons with ease. The last one named Chen is even more remarkable.
Although he looks like a young man, he is actually eighty or ninety years old. He is just "a successful monk and has the appearance of a young boy".
His son Liu Gaohua's extravagant praise made the county governor doubtful. With a little bit of uneasiness, he brought along a well-informed palace staff member and went to the living room to entertain the distinguished guests. As a result, County Sheriff Liu was greatly disappointed. The man was indeed missing.
There were many ghosts and spirits, but his eyesight on people was really not bad. After saying hello, he sat down and drank a cup of tea, but his interest was gone. He asked Liu Gaohua to entertain the three distinguished guests, and then found an excuse to return to the official hall.
Along the way, Sheriff Liu shook his head and said: "What a heroic heavenly master. He did not live up to his name. He was deceived and tricked into my house. He is really audacious. If they dare to make unreasonable demands later, I will let them sit in jail and eat their fill."
"
The old staff member laughed softly and said: "It's not like eating and drinking together. It's hard to tell between the young Taoist priest and the boy with the scorpion. The swordsman does have some real skills. The nursing home in the house is definitely no match. Mr. Liu, you need to know
Before I entered the government, I had traveled around the world for more than 20 years and met several famous masters. In the southern part of our country, Caiyi, they were all top masters. In terms of bearing, the bearded man was no less impressive.
Polished and dignified."
The county guard nodded, "That makes sense."
The old staff reminded in a low voice: "Mr. Liu, think about it, the general stationed in this state is recognized as the great master of the four realms. We once watched from a distance at the banquet. At that time, we felt that even though we were drinking, talking and laughing, there were still many people.
His unruffled and self-defeating demeanor is very scary. If you think about it carefully, does the Jianghu man who calls himself Xu look somewhat similar to him?"
Sheriff Liu frowned and said, "What do you mean, do you want to win over each other? But I heard that when dealing with people in Jianghu, it is considered heroic to spend a lot of money. If you only spend a few taels of silver as payment, it is not a polite friendship.
On the contrary, it is humiliating and will offend those gangsters. I have always been an honest official and have no surplus. What should I do if I can take action? Is it possible that I have to borrow money from the rich people in the county? "
Having said this, the county's parent officer looked a little unhappy, "If the relationship is so full of copper stench, I don't mind it."
Scholars look down upon Jianghu people, especially those who have official status in the imperial court. In fact, they still look down upon them in their hearts.
The old staff member sighed in his heart, Commander Liu couldn't handle the connections he brought to his door, and he couldn't complain that he was only a fourth-rank official despite being a good writer, not to mention that Commander Liu's chief minister was still a high-ranking official in Caiyi Kingdom.
If he were the county guard, he would not hesitate to borrow money from the rich, even if it was to sell iron. Assuming that the bearded swordsman was a master of martial arts who was a minor master of the Three Realms, as long as it was related, then under the table
There are so many things that can be done. Besides, how can you be humane if you don’t have any human relations? Thinking about asking for others’ help is not the way to be an official. If you have some contacts with the rich and powerful families in the county and city, how can you borrow a few favors?
It’s only a hundred taels of silver. Has it really made you, County Sheriff Liu, lose face? Wrong, it’s you who gave that family face. It’s just that County Sheriff Liu doesn’t like to hear these things, because he thinks they’re insulting to gentle people. After the old staff said it once or twice, he knew better.
.
When he thought of this, the old staff became a little disheartened. The officialdom is so tortuous, why is it not the same in the world? Before he became anonymous, he actually served as a confidant for the leader of the southern Jianghu of Caiyi Kingdom.
Yes, but more importantly, there are so many little things in the world. No matter how heroic you are, your spirit will be worn out in a few years. Think about how heroic the old alliance leader was, but in the end he ended up with a wife and a son.
The family is scattered and people are destroyed?
After Governor Liu left lukewarmly, Liu Gaohua was a little embarrassed. In addition, the governor's mansion was so shabby that even a few rooms could not be spared. The bearded swordsman asked Liu Gaohua to take him to the nearest inn to stay. As long as the god
When the old Taoist priest Gaozong entered the county mansion, he quickly informed the three of them, and Liu Gaohua responded repeatedly.
Because of its good location and time-honored name, the inn's business was booming. Fortunately, the governor's son's face was still worth some money, so he just offered three guest rooms without daring to raise the price. Liu Gaohua also accepted this favor from beginning to end.
He didn't realize that the innkeeper was worried about cutting the meat, which made the bearded swordsman laugh. Even the Taoist priest Zhang Shanfeng shook his head.
Humanity and sophistication are also knowledge. These knowledge are not taught much in the books of sages, but they are found in the world, and Chen Ping'an sees it in his eyes and remembers it in his heart.
In fact, there used to be shops like Ni Ping Lane and Xinghua Lane.
The three of them chatted in the bearded man's room, and naturally talked about their trip to the ancient house, and talked about Zhang Shanfeng's magical talisman. After Xu Yuanxia asked about the price, she found out that it was so expensive, and she felt a little sorry for it.
Ju Luzhou Taoist priest said with a smile that he must gain something from his next trip to slay demons. Although Zhang Shanfeng was afraid of poverty, he did not complain about others at all. This made Xu Yuanxia look at him with admiration. The man knew that on the way to practice, Qi practitioners accumulated a lot of money.
Family background is so important. Xu Yuanxia, who has traveled north and south, knows very well about the rules of some immortal families in the mountains. Qi practitioners practice here and there, cultivating their minds and strength, and what they cultivate is real gold and silver. If the young Taoist priest has always been like this
If you can't make ends meet, it will definitely be difficult to move to higher places. No matter how good your character is, you won't be able to withstand such a dull knife.
After chatting, Chen Ping'an learned more about the scenery of Qi Practitioner's Lower Five Realms in detail for the first time.
The previous time he returned from the Sui Dynasty with "disciple student" Cui Han, because Lin Shouyi was already half a mountain god at that time, Chen Pingan was a little curious about this. During a rare chat between the two, Chen Pingan asked him about it for the first time.
Practice and practice Qi.
As a result, the young Cui Zhang rolled his eyes and said, "The lower five realms? It's all rubbish. It's so boring to talk about that. It's just a disservice to the gentleman. Sir, let's talk about the upper five realms. I think I was a student back then."
It's the Twelve Realms...
At that time, Chen Ping'an was deeply prejudiced against him, so he didn't want to listen to the boastful talk of the young man in white, so he got up and went to practice setting up a sword furnace in a distance.
Thinking about it now, Chen Ping'an, does it hurt Cui Zhang's self-esteem? "At least" he once became an immortal in the Twelve Realms, and even played chess with the lord of Baidi City among the colorful clouds...
Chen Ping'an scratched his head and lowered his head to take a sip of tea, but what he was thinking about was that he regretted sending the two thousand taels of silver notes to "Cui Dongshan" with the letter, being so polite and unceremonious with the student disciple who had been an immortal.
Isn't this insulting?
The lower five realms of Qi Practitioners are the five realms of Mountaineering, Copper Skin Realm, Grass Root Realm, Willow Tendon Realm, Bone Qi Realm and House Building Realm. Among them, the first four realms are to cultivate skin, flesh, muscles and bones respectively. They are said to be Qi Practitioners, but in fact they have raised a
A tough physique is also valued, but the truth is simple. If the human body is a water bowl, one pound of Qi can be refined. If the water bowl can only hold eight taels, the other two taels will become empty talk. In the final stage,
It is the state of mastery, melting and forging, which is the state of perfection for the human body as a Qi training tool. It probably means that you can officially climb the mountain.
Because Yang Huang, the ghost ghost, mentioned Liujin Realm many times and called it the "Retention Realm", the bearded man explained it emphatically to Chen Ping'an, a layman. He talked about it with gusto and was full of pure warriors' ridicule of the gods on the mountain.
, leaving the young Taoist priest who just happened to be stuck in the three realms very helpless.
"There once was a monk named Liu who was extremely talented and talented. He directly entered the upper five realms and achieved the supreme immortal body just by practicing muscle exercises. He is said to be unprecedented and unparalleled. Therefore, this realm is named after Liu Jin. And
There is a saying of retaining the realm of human beings, because many monks who extravagantly hope to take shortcuts have gone astray in this realm, and they have tried to make mistakes in the incomplete secrets left by the monk surnamed Liu. They have delayed it for too long and have ruined their lives."
The bearded man drank tea with the same boldness as drinking. There was a lot of ridicule in his words, "We warriors are always looked down upon by the monks on the mountain, but there is one thing that we are better than Qi practitioners, that is, we are solid step by step, and there are no messy shortcuts to take."
, the most down-to-earth, so this Liujin realm has retained countless lucky young monks in the world, and the Qi practitioners in the lower five realms, as long as they are not military strategists and sword cultivators, have met the purity of our third realm.
A warrior, you can’t get the slightest advantage!”
As the only Qi practitioner present, the young Taoist priest said dullly: "After you warriors have reached the third level of Qi refining, and we Qi practitioners have reached the middle fifth level, let's compare again? We, the Qi practitioners, must have a better chance of winning.
"
The bearded man chuckled and said: "We are only competing for the same realm. The Jindan realm Qi practitioners in the ninth realm are immortal enough, right? Try it when you meet a pure martial artist in our mountain top realm? Then Song Changjing, the king of the Great Li clan
, you Tenth Level Qi Practitioners dare to stand in front of him? This Song Changjing is one of our pure warriors in Aquarius Continent!"
The bearded man held out his thumb.
He was still reluctant to put away his thumbs and praised highly: "Such warriors are the real heroes in the world. They are at the foot of the mountain, but they can look down on the mountain. I only hate that I, Xu Yuanxia, can't see him, otherwise I have to respect him even though I am shameless."
Bowl of wine!”
Chen Ping'an looked strange.
The vassal king Song Changjing was Song Jixin's uncle. He once passed by in Mubo Alley, and Chen Ping'an even met Song Changjing face to face.
Besides, a pure martial artist at the same level as Song Changjing only had Li Huai's father in his hometown, a small town, not to mention Cui Chan's grandfather...
Chen Pingan had no choice but to drink tea silently.
Afterwards, the three of them went to eat on the first floor of the inn. There was a lot of discussion at the lobby table. It turned out that there was an old immortal who was about to visit Rouge County. He had magical powers and was unpredictable. The immortal in the book could spread beans and make soldiers, and he could throw away enemies.
Paper is a beauty, and those graceful women with all kinds of graces appear after the pieces of yellow paper fall to the ground. Each one of them is exactly the same as a living person, able to sing, dance, and answer questions fluently.
The old immortal's journey south has already made the dignitaries from all over the Caiyi Kingdom couldn't help but marvel. Therefore, before the old immortal arrived at Rouge County, this Caiyi Kingdom, which is famous for its beautiful women, was already eagerly waiting for him. Hope, men hope that those magical beauties transformed from paper have a special charm. Women with a little beauty are all eager to win. Is there any reason why a thin piece of paper can be better than their real person?
Chen Pingan was not very interested.
The bearded man and Taoist priest Zhang Shanfeng were eager to try and said they must go and have a look. One vowed that the old immortal might be a demon in human skin, while the other nodded vigorously in agreement, saying that demons would never be allowed to deceive people's hearts.
Chen Pingan looked at the two righteous guys and wondered if you two could wipe off your saliva before talking. Don't you just want to see beautiful women? Let's be honest, I won't laugh at you.
Alas, after all, they have never seen a really good-looking girl. Chen Ping'an is very confident about this.
Because he felt that he had already seen the most beautiful girl in the world.
