When Fan Er walked out of the alley, the young woman in green robe had already entered the dusty drug store.
When she walked into it, the vying for beauty among the women and girls suddenly became eclipsed. They looked at each other in disbelief. Being in the same room with this woman, they felt ashamed in their hearts.
Compared with Fan Er's politeness, this woman was not so approachable, striding towards the bamboo curtain and heading to the backyard.
From the beginning to the end, no drug shop woman dared to speak out to stop it.
Zheng Dafeng was sitting on the steps of the main house, smoking a dry cigarette.
The woman in green robe looked around, raised her hand, and a small bench instantly appeared behind her from under the eaves of the wing. She sat down and started drinking.
Of course Zheng Dafeng recognized this person. When he entered Old Dragon City this time, the first person he met was the unknown eldest lady of the Fan family, Fan Junmao.
Among the five major surnames in Laolongcheng, Fusun Fanghouding.
Not to mention the Earth Immortal Fu Qi and the Fu family who holds four immortal weapons, the Sun family is famous for its rich heritage and has a Nascent Soul Earth Immortal sitting in the ancestral home.
Although the Fang family does not have a Nascent Soul to terrify the heroes, they do have two seventh-level martial arts masters and an eighth-level golden elixir sword cultivator. In the Shanxia Dynasty in the south of Aquarius Continent, especially in Jianghu, the Fang family has great power and is spread all over the country.
Banks, escort agencies, pawnshops and inns are dotted all over the place. Compared to the Fu family and the Sun family, the Fang family makes small profits and takes the path of accumulating small amounts to make more.
The top combat power of the Hou family, the group of people who worshiped Qingke in the middle five realms, did not have any advantage. However, there was a concubine who had been away from home for many years and was already a sage in Guanhu Academy. Although that sage never returned after leaving home.
The family worshiped their ancestors in the village, but the Hou family has indeed benefited from it profoundly. Every year they send people to Guanhu Academy to pay New Year's greetings.
In addition to the cross-continental ferry to Daoxuanshan, the Hou family also owns the most routes from Laolongcheng to Beiju Luzhou. Most of the distances are not long, ranging from tens of thousands to three hundred thousand miles. For example, the end of the northern section is at Sohu.
The Hou family occupies half of the water country's dragon road. The fragments and pieces together cannot be underestimated.
The Hou family has many intersections with the Xianjia sects in southern Juluzhou. After painstaking efforts in the past two hundred years, several mountain sects have been established there.
The Ding family was almost removed from the top five surnames, and was replaced by a rising surname that had been eyeing it for nearly a hundred years, especially since the Ding family had initially offended Chu Yang, the number one man in the Golden Pill of Old Dragon City, who was married to Mao in Denglongtai.
The practitioner's vitality was severely damaged, and his momentum fell to the bottom.
But at this time, a young man from the Southeast Continent changed everything. When he entered Old Dragon City for the first time, he was very depressed. In the end, he failed to make any ripples in Old Dragon City. Before leaving Old Dragon City, he was still
Desperate.
But when the Ding family was about to completely decline, this young man rushed to Laolong City in time, brought people and money, and tried to turn the tide for the Ding family. In the end, he just took away a woman.
Only then did Lao Longcheng learn that the young man was actually a direct disciple of the Zitouxian family, the largest sect in Southeast Tongye Continent, with an extremely high seniority.
After that, the Ding family joined the Tongyezhou line. It has developed rapidly in recent years, and there are vague signs of competing with the Sun family.
Only the Fan family is tepid and never attracts attention.
There is neither an ancestor of the Tenth Realm Nascent Soul, nor a powerful golden elixir that can really be used, nor a talented rising star. They have always followed the Fu family step by step. It is easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and rely on this layer.
Because of his connections, he barely clung to the title of one of the top five surnames.
Therefore, the Hou family, who had a gap with the Fan family, dared to say that the Fan family was just a watchdog for the city lord Fu Qi. Year after year, they ate scraps and starved to death. All the family heads in the past generations had no ambitions.
Eat and wait to die.
Zheng Dafeng stared through the smoke at the young woman in a dark green robe not far away, drinking wine leisurely.
Regarding this person, the old man did not elaborate on her background. He only talked about Old Dragon City. He wanted to find her first and just have a face-to-face meeting. Then he went to discuss the business with Fu Qi, the lord of Old Dragon City.
Zheng Dafeng was used to the old man's clouds and mist. This was true for smoking cigarettes and even more so for doing things. Therefore, he didn't bother to get to the bottom of the story about the woman named Fan Junmao. When he first observed Fan Junmao at the level of an eighth-level martial artist, he was just a woman who had not yet reached the fifth level.
He was a young monk in the Ninth Realm, but now that he had reached the Ninth Realm, Zheng Dafeng realized that he had made a mistake at first. Fan Junmao was clearly a Qi Practitioner in the Golden Core Realm.
The woman only drank and did not talk.
Zheng Dafeng stayed with her and remained silent. Anyway, he took advantage of the woman's good looks.
Zheng Dafeng suddenly let out a series of tuts, "It's amazing. I always felt that in Old Dragon City, I couldn't see more exaggerated strange people and strange things than in a small town. Today I really gained a lot of knowledge."
It turns out that "Fan Junmao" reached the tenth realm, the Nascent Soul realm, while drinking, and became an earthly immortal in the eyes of the world.
Although she had tried her best to suppress the clues revealed by Po Jing, Zheng Dafeng still caught some clues and was amazed in her heart.
Confirmed.
The old man is determined to win this person.
Maybe this person has already been one of the winners in the old man's mind.
Fan Junmao finally spoke his first words, "From now on in Old Dragon City, you will obey my orders."
Zheng Dafeng frowned.
The woman in green robe stood up, sneered, then made an extremely weird action, raised her arm and made a throwing motion, with a serious smile on her face, she lightly poked Zheng Dafeng's heart with both hands, and said slowly: "Whoosh"
, dead.”
Zheng Dafeng stood up. At this moment, he was no longer the drugstore shopkeeper with a playful smile.
It was Zheng Dafeng who had had five "death" battles with Li Er, the one who had killed dozens of gatekeepers outside the town gate who came to Lizhu Cave to look for opportunities.
The woman smiled slightly and said, "I can't beat you now."
But she quickly added: "Temporarily."
Her whole body turned into strands of dark green mist, and then instantly rushed into the sky, blending into the sea of clouds.
The next moment, she was sitting on the edge of the sea of clouds, her feet dangling in the air, swaying gently, so that the entire sea of clouds undulated slightly, like a city girl swinging on a swing, drinking wine and looking at the sea.
The bright moon rises over the sea.
This is also the scene in the bright eyes of the woman watching the scene.
————
At dawn, Chen Ping'an was already practicing pile walking in the small courtyard. The world was lonely and only the morning light lay lazily on the young man's shoulders.
By the time Jindan Sword Xiu Ma Zhi pushed out the door, Chen Pingan had already finished walking. He was sitting at the stone table and reading the "Swordsmanship Sermon". Chen Pingan actually never stopped reading during the break from practicing boxing.
Among the miscellaneous books I purchased, there were also the landscape travel notes "stolen" from the study room of the governor of Caiyi Kingdom, and of course the introductory Confucian classics given by the old scholar. In addition, I had traveled with my disciple Cui Dongshan all the way, so I already knew the seriousness of the second book.
The word "Zheng" is not the so-called "zhengzheng" as the saying goes, but a huge statement. For a book to be called a "jing" is already the pinnacle of worldly wisdom. If it is added with the word "zheng", it will be even more extraordinary.
Although Zheng Dafeng seems carefree, he is actually not ambiguous about certain things.
Zheng Dafeng doesn't like Chen Pingan, so why does Chen Pingan like this small town gatekeeper?
But just because two people hate each other doesn't mean they can only look at the annoying things about the other person. If they like each other, they can't just look at the good things.
Just like Gu Can, who was young and had a gloomy temper, Chen Pingan was very afraid that he would follow Zhenjiang Zhenjun Liu Zimao in Shujian Lake and get along day and night. In the end, Gu Can became the kind of person he hated the most when he was young. Li Huai, who had just left
When I was in my hometown, I was a typical quarrel. I wonder what it has become now? Do you dare to stand up for your friends when they are bullied, instead of traveling to the Sui Dynasty and just hiding behind him every time?
Behind Ping An's death? Lin Shouyi, although precocious and calm, is a good talent for cultivating Taoism. Chen Ping'an would be worried that it is a good thing to ask questions with concentration all the way. But if he just asks with all his heart, even Li Baoping, Li Huai and others who share weal and woe,
Before the great road, Lin Shouyi would think that it was just a hindrance, so he would not miss the old relationship, and the two sides would become farther and farther apart. What should he do?
And that best friend, Liu Xianyang, has long threatened to see the highest mountain and the largest river outside his hometown. He will never die in such a small town in his life. Will Liu Xianyang get used to it?
After seeing the majestic mountains and the beautiful scenery, you simply don’t want to go back to your hometown?
Chen Ping'an always has worries of one kind or another, so he sincerely envies Fan Er's carefreeness.
Chen Ping'an is different from his neighbors Song Jixin and Ma Kuxuan of Xinghua Lane. They are two proud men destined to fly to the sky. If one sees a good thing that he can't get, Song Jixin will probably sneer at him, and Ma Kuxuan will
If Xuan Yi is in a bad mood, he might just punch it to pieces. If I can't get it, you can't want it either.
Chen Pingan put away his thoughts for a while and continued to open the sword manual that Zheng Dafeng temporarily named "The Book of Swordsmanship".
If seriousness is very big, swordsmanship is very small, because swordsmanship is a martial art learned by martial arts swordsmen. Often only swordsmen among Qi practitioners can speak the word swordsmanship. Cai Yi was beaten to death by Ma Kuxuan
The National Sword God, the Sword Master Song Yushao of the Shushui Kingdom, the Sword Master Lin Gushan of the Ancient Yu Kingdom, and the Sword Immortal Su Lang of the Songxi Kingdom are all warriors under the mountain. Generally speaking, they are still hanging around in the world and are not regarded as comrades on the mountain.
The guy wearing a bamboo hat on his head and hanging a bamboo sword on his waist is an exception. He is obviously the most awesome swordsman in the world, but he still likes to call himself a swordsman and likes to wander around.
This sword manual only records six sword techniques, two for offense and defense. The attack is the avalanche style and the God-Suppressing Head style, and the defense is the mountain style and the armor style. The other two moves are sword skills used to temper the swordsman's body and soul.
It's not about killing enemies but about cultivating one's health. The first is refining, and the second is trance. Refining is a bit like the six-step walking method of Shanshanquan. The trance is similar to setting up stakes in a sword furnace, one movement and one silence.
Among the six moves of swordsmanship, Chen Ping'an especially likes the avalanche style. The sword moves very fast, and people follow the sword like a ball of snow, which dazzles people.
Six moves of swordsmanship, corresponding to six pictures.
The page with the picture is quite magical. The paper is different from the adjacent snow-white page, which is light silver. The person painted is constantly practicing the sword, from starting to putting away the sword, repeating the cycle, meticulous, and the picture
A swordsman will have a golden thread flowing slowly along a specific path in his body.
No matter how complicated and complex the sword moves are, they are still dead in the final analysis. A martial arts genius can always learn something that is 80% or 90% similar after reading it several times. The key lies in the movement path of the true energy when making the move. This is what a superior martial arts often does.
The key to becoming a surname's family master is which Qi palace it starts from, which acupuncture points it passes through, and where it ends up. During this period, should one go through all the Qi palaces in one go, or should one move quickly or slowly?
There are changes, it’s all about paying attention to it, it’s all about university knowledge. Why is it said that it is directly passed down by disciples? Because it is often not recorded on the secret book paper, but is passed down from generation to generation between masters and disciples, and passed down from person to person.
There are four words on the cover, "The Book of Swordsmanship".
There are several crosses in the preface, roughly describing the source of the sword manual.
The main text explains in detail the luck method of Six Moves Swordsmanship.
Annotations are Zheng Dafeng’s own insights.
In the four pieces of content, Zheng Dafeng actually used four styles of techniques: charming and delicate, dignified and elegant, majestic and unrestrained, and sickly and slender like wicker.
There are plump pens with thick ink, like a mature woman in a dusty drug store, there are dry ink pens, and there are moderate shades.
There is no doubt that this is Zheng Dafeng showing off his calligraphy skills.
But it is undeniable that Chen Ping'an was greatly impressed by Zheng Dafeng's skills. He thought that he was indeed a janitor who was idle all day long. He could practice such a solid calligraphy skill by drawing on the ground with branches every day.
After Chen Ping'an closed the sword manual, the old man Jindan slowly sat down opposite the young man, "This place has been shaded by the ancestral laurel tree on the top of the mountain. As long as there is not too much movement, the ferry passengers outside will not notice it.
Chen Pingan, I have told you about my realm before. Today is the first day of the sword test. Before that, I will say more. If I talk about something you have already heard, you can tell me directly. I will skip it.
That’s it.”
Chen Pingan nodded and sat upright.
The old man said slowly: "There is a saying on the mountain that Jiazi is an experienced qi practitioner, and a hundred-year-old swordsman is a young swordsman. It means that a qi practitioner who only reaches the fifth level at the age of sixty is no longer a monastic genius, but can reach the sixth level of Dongfu.
A sword cultivator, even though he was already a hundred years old when he broke through the realm, he is still a young and promising qi practitioner with a bright future. Why?"
Chen Ping'an didn't need to speak, the old man had already asked and answered himself: "It's very simple, our sword cultivators are the most lethal in the world. It is not easy to become a Qi practitioner, and becoming a sword cultivator requires more talent. In the end, can we cultivate it with warmth?
A natal flying sword is a big threshold. After finally raising a flying sword, it is even more difficult to be able to support this little ancestor who eats gold and silver. I am Ma Zhi, two hundred and seventy.
At the age of 80, I had entered the Golden Core Realm eighty years ago. At that time, I caused quite a stir in Old Dragon City. There were four of the five major surnames. At the same time, I was invited to serve as a worshiper with a large sum of money... A hero does not mention his bravery in the past, and does not talk about these things.
Chen Zhima is rotten millet, I just want to say that when I first broke through the realm, I understood one thing, I don’t have to think about the Nascent Soul realm of land gods in this life, why?”
The old man asked himself again and answered, "First, he is not talented enough, and second, he really has no money."
When the old man said this, he laughed at himself: "If the Fan family is willing to spend half of the family's money to help me temper the flying sword of my destiny, buy heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and cast a sword furnace, maybe I can break through the ninth level.
However, no matter how good the Fan family is, it is impossible for them to do this. After all, my surname is not Fan."
Although the old man understood it very well, he was still full of disappointment, and there was a look of loneliness that could not be concealed on his face.
It is reasonable and reasonable for the Fan family to do this.
Old Man Jindan seemed to be trying to convince himself so that he could feel at ease, and said to himself: "Just like Longhu Mountain, which stands side by side with the three Taoist religions, there is also a Tianshi Mansion Huang Ziguo and a foreign surnamed Tianshi.
, there are many Celestial Masters with foreign surnames in the past, including many amazingly talented and beautiful gods of the upper five realms. There are even cases in history where the Celestial Masters with foreign surnames have Taoism that overwhelms the great Celestial Master of Tianshi Mansion. However, that Celestial Master Seal, an Immortal Sword
, will never fall into the hands of a Celestial Master with a foreign surname."
It was not difficult for Chen Pingan to understand this, and he nodded and said: "Soldiers are the most deadly weapons of the country. The power of those big Xian family tycoons is actually not much different from that of a country. Just talking about a family or a country, if there are no rules at all
, even if we get the current temporary prosperity, it will only lay the seeds of disaster, and future generations will probably have to spend several times the effort to rectify the source."
"Of course!"
Old Jin Dan nodded in agreement, always mistaking the young man in front of him for a high-ranking disciple, so Chen Ping'an's opinion did not surprise the old man.
The old man Jin Dan immediately sighed: "Having said that, in this complex world where immortal masters appear in large numbers and demons are at work, there are still many people who only follow their own preferences and just want to smash everything with one punch and one sword. It's not that they can do it.
It's totally wrong. To be honest, those who watch the lawless pleasure will inevitably feel a little envious in their hearts. It's just that such people can exist, but they must not be praised by everyone, especially after watching the excitement for a long time.
The day when that sword hit me on the head for no apparent reason, it was really painful."
Obviously, the old man must have suffered such unreasonable disasters from the sky.
The old man sighed. In the Golden Core Realm, especially sword cultivators, they would still have a place even in the Middle-earth Divine Continent. It was nothing more than changing from the number one scholar in the Aquarius Continent to a Jinshi, but in the end they still couldn't be truly free.
immortal.
Ma Zhi suppressed the ripples in his mind and said with a smile: "Master Chen is a martial artist, but since he wants to practice swordsmanship, and I am the imaginary enemy, he should know the details of the Qi practitioner..."
Ma Zhi suddenly stopped talking, "I think these young masters already know it, so I won't nag you?"
Chen Ping'an shook his head and said: "Mr. Ma, just say it, there are never too many good words."
Ma Zhi smiled slightly, "There are five realms among Qi Practitioners: Cave Mansion, Guanhai, Longmen, Golden Pill, and Nascent Soul. The Golden Pill realm where I am can condense the entire Qi sea into a golden pill. As for the Golden Pill
The appearance, size and image of the elixir vary from person to person. Generally speaking, the quality of the golden elixir can be roughly calculated through the alchemy chamber of the Longmen Realm period. I was the one who made the elixir by luck when the alchemy chamber was rough at the time.
It's not much better, and I know that I have no hope of Nascent Soul. If this were not the case, why would I, a golden elixir sword cultivator, still be unable to defeat Chu Yang, who climbed to the dragon platform and formed a mao? These old Dragon City people have no secrets behind their backs.
Do you know how many Jindan peers and those little guys in the fifth realm make fun of me, Ma Zhi? As time goes by, a saying has spread that when you are young, being big may not necessarily be good, but Ma Zhi is also..."
Ma Zhi laughed heartily when he talked about this embarrassing incident, obviously he had no regrets at all.
Chen Pingan suddenly asked: "Mr. Ma, can you ask me a question about your cultivation level?"
Ma Zhi nodded and said, "There is nothing you can't do."
Chen Ping'an asked cautiously: "At what age did Mr. Ma reach the Dragon Gate realm? How many pictures and scenes are there in the alchemy room?"
Ma Zhi suddenly felt enlightened.
As expected, he is the first-class descendant of the Immortal family on the mountain, otherwise he would never be able to ask such a question.
Those casual cultivators in Shanze who are lucky enough to reach the fifth level of the middle realm may never know that the alchemy room in the Longmen realm can have more than one picture scroll, and that a true monastic genius can have two alchemy room "murals". Ma Zhi
Among the senior monks I have come into contact with in my life, there are several Nascent Soul immortals who all have two paintings, and one Jade Pure Realm immortal has three paintings, which is shocking to the world.
Ma Zhi stroked his beard and smiled, not hiding anything, and told him frankly, "As I mentioned before, I, Ma Zhi, entered the Nine Realms of Golden Core and Longmen Realm when I was one hundred and ninety years old. That was a long time ago.
It’s a matter of fact, when I was more than one hundred and twenty years old, because I started cultivating Taoism late, otherwise it wouldn’t be a big problem before I turned one hundred.”
Chen Pingan looked shocked and swallowed.
Ma Zhi thought the young man was surprised by his talent for cultivating Taoism, and the old man smiled a little more.
As everyone knows, the reason why Chen Pingan had this question was because he remembered a girl talking to herself full of annoyance and dissatisfaction at the ancestral home in Mubo Lane. Chen Pingan, who had his ears pricked up at the time, listened to her word for word.
, "I have only reached the Dragon Gate realm", "The pattern of the six palaces in the alchemy room", "The finishing touch has not yet been completed, the goddess has not yet flown into the sky"...
Chen Pingan silently picked off the sword gourd and drank the fragrant sweet-scented osmanthus wine to calm down his shock. He drank two more sips to calm down his shock.
Ma Zhi was kept in the dark, but instead smiled and comforted the young man, "Mr. Chen, with your outstanding qualifications, even if you choose martial arts, your future achievements will only be higher than mine. As long as you keep your feet on the ground, you can expect great success!"
You might as well start adapting to my sword energy from today."
Chen Pingan looked embarrassed and nodded, "Okay!"
Ma Zhi stood up and said seriously: "There are three realms of martial arts refining qi, soul and courage. Among them, there are three souls and seven souls. The three souls are Feiguang, Shuangling and Youjing. I will use three different sword qi to help you wash them one after another.
Rinsing, flushing and sharpening the three souls in the body. I will know how to measure it and will not hurt your vitality. During this period, you can practice the four offensive and defensive moves in the sword manual at the same time, provided that you can do it.
…”
The old man smiled playfully.
Although I don’t know why the young man had the rudiments of soul courage early on, but the sword energy of a golden elixir sword cultivator invaded the Qi Mansion and swept away the three souls. Not to mention gritting his teeth and practicing swordsmanship, there is no telling whether he can stand firm. Speaking of which,
Come back, if Chen Pingan can really do it, even if it only lasts for a moment and a half, the four sword skills recorded in the sword manual will definitely improve rapidly.
"Mr. Chen, be careful. I will first test the thickness of your three souls with the true meaning of swordsmanship."
Ma Zhi smiled, and a natal flying sword flew out from the old man's heart, hovering between the two of them, "I named this sword Liangyin. When it was born, it was placed under a towering tree.
Under the shade of the tree, it has been with me for more than two hundred years. It is not very sharp, but it is not bad to fight against others and quietly hurt their souls."
Chen Ping'an didn't care about the sword gourd, so he patted it hard twice, in order to make the two flying swords in the first grade and fifteenth grade inside be quieter, so that they didn't have to come out to show off their power with their peers.
Then Chen Ping'an frowned slightly and remained motionless. Even his breath and breathing were exactly the same as before.
