Chapter 304: Look down at the well, look up at the sky
Chen Pingan did not expect that this trip to the world would last for half a year. It was not that the journey to find the Taoist temple was too far, but that Chen Pingan relied on the instructions brought by the "Chang Qi" behind him to go around a majestic city.
After walking around in circles for three months, he still couldn't find the so-called Taoist temple. In the capital city of Nanyuan Kingdom, Chen Pingan asked all the traffickers, foot soldiers, warriors, and escort chiefs.
None of the government officials had heard of any Taoist temples. Chen Pingan read through various historical records, county annals and personal notes, but still found no clues. The only gain was probably that Chen Pingan could speak Nanyuan fluently.
It’s the official language of the country.
In this way, from the late autumn to the heavy snow, to the pattering spring rain, and until the beginning of summer, Chen Pingan was sure that the entrance to the Taoist Temple was in this capital, but he could never get in.
Even if Chen Ping'an is as determined as Chen Ping'an, he starts to feel a little shaken and irritable.
During this period, Chen Ping'an had many strange experiences. He saw a floating cyan dress at night. It danced like a beautiful lady, and its long sleeves were like flowing water.
Unintentionally, I saw through a blindfold and saw a section of the inner city wall with skeletons leaning on each other, and Buddhist scriptures engraved on each brick.
He also met monks who were rarely seen in Aquarius Island. Buddhism was popular in the Nanyuan Kingdom, and there were many temples in various places. Chen Pingan learned about the many details of monks' cassocks, as well as chanting monks, preaching monks, Dharma-transmitting monks and Dharma protectors.
There are all kinds of differences among monks. Once he left the capital to get some fresh air, he followed a group of monks carrying secret orders from the court to a fierce battlefield. Chen Pingan witnessed with his own eyes more than a hundred monks chanting sutras sitting upright.
On the lotus futon, several chanting monks took off their boots, walked barefoot, lowered their heads and folded their hands. Between their feet and when they opened and closed their lips, snow-white lotus blossoms appeared. The monks all had a string of rosary beads wrapped around their palms.
If evil spirits entangle you, they will be repelled by the golden luster emitted by the beads.
The golden light of the rosary is brilliant, the monk's treasures are solemn, and lotus flowers are born step by step.
Leading tens of thousands of resentful dead souls, follow them into the "Gate of Hell" where Yin and Yang meet.
In the end, Chen Pingan sat far away, imitating the monks, clasping his hands together, bowing his head and saying nothing.
After returning to the capital, Chen Pingan still couldn't find the Taoist temple. Just when Chen Pingan gritted his teeth and prepared to go to the palace secretly, that day, with the scorching sun in the sky, Chen Pingan came to a well and looked down. He saw that it was bottomless.
, dark and lightless.
Chen Pingan looked at it for a while.
But I really couldn't see the doorway, so I looked back and continued wandering.
Looking back at the well, it seemed a bit refreshing as I stood there just now.

Since the battle with Cai Jingshen in the Sui Dynasty, Cui Dongshan has won the title of an ancestor of the Cai family. He is very popular in the Cliff Academy. In addition, Cui Dongshan's current appearance, red mole between his eyebrows, and handsomeness are really pleasing to the eye.
Cui Dongshan can walk around the academy at will, and is always accompanied by a personal maid named Xie Xie. Today, the two of them went to attend a classics and meaning class taught by Master Ge. Halfway through, Cui Dongshan, who was lying on the window sill outside, fell asleep.
Thank you for standing aside, not daring to disturb my young master’s spring and autumn dream, which made all the students in the room hold back their laughter. It was very hard. Mr. Ge wished he could beat Cui Dongshan with a ruler until his head was covered with bruises, but when he thought about it, together with his family
With Cai Jingshen moving out of the capital, the old master suppressed his anger and turned around and told deputy mountain chief Mao Xiaodong that Cui Dongshan was not allowed to come near his classroom in the future.
Trembling, as if he had a nightmare, Cui Dongshan opened his eyes, and it took him a long time to regain his composure, then he swaggered back to his residence with his maid thanking him.
When Xie Xie closed the courtyard door, Cui Dongshan took off his boots and stepped over the threshold. He waved his sleeves and the mist rose, finally revealing a picture of the mountains and rivers of Aquarius Continent.
Cui Dongshan crossed his chest with one hand and held his chin with the other. He first stood at the Sui Dynasty at the northernmost point of "Aquarius Continent", then moved his eyes southward, crossing the Huangting Kingdom and the Sui Dynasty territory, and stopped at Guanhu Academy and Caiyi Kingdom in the middle.
In the Shushui Kingdom area, he suddenly lay down on the ground and looked around.
Xie Xie was sitting on the threshold. This map of Yizhou Kan almost occupied the entire room. She would definitely be scolded and possibly beaten when she entered.
Cui Dongshan kept lying there and asked casually: "Do you think there is anyone in the Sui Kingdom, in the temples, rivers and lakes, on the mountains and down the mountains, scolding the emperor for being a coward who begs for mercy without fighting and cedes territory for peace?"
Thank you for answering honestly: "I don't know about the things outside. In the academy, the masters who came from the Sui Dynasty only frowned and sighed. I have never heard of anyone swearing."
Cui Dongshan stood up and said with a smile: "There is a good thing about scholars. They don't criticize the king. They only criticize traitors, powerful eunuchs, vixens, and relatives. They curse heaven and earth and curse their mother... Of course, there are no absolutes. Anyone who dares to curse the emperor
There must be some, but there are very few who can criticize well and hit the nail on the head."
Xie Xie was used to getting along with Cui Dongshan, so he said perfunctorily: "My lord, I'd like to see you."
She is really perfunctory and unabashed. Not to mention the "literary demon" and "old fox spirit" Dali Imperial Master, even a careless person like Li Huai can see through it at a glance.
But Cui Dongshan doesn't mind this.
Cui Dongshan put his hands on his hips, opened his mouth, and inhaled suddenly, swallowing all the fog on the map.
Then Cui Dongshan raised his hands, opened his teeth and claws, and grinned like a tiger roaring.
Thank you for watching, the corners of your mouth twitched.
Cui Dongshan patted his sleeves and said proudly, "It's really a tiger that can swallow thousands of miles. It's amazing, it's amazing."
The maid thanked her and regretted that she didn't dare to roll her eyes.
She turned her head and looked over the high wall of the courtyard. No matter how undercurrents were surging in the Sui Dynasty, it was another peaceful day in Dongshan and the Academy.
A golden thread suddenly arrived from outside the hospital!
Silent and as fast as lightning.
Although it is extremely small, not even as good as a piece of green hair from a woman's thank you, when this slender golden thread appears out of thin air, in the late autumn when the climate turns cooler, the temperature of the entire yard increases, making people feel like they are in the scorching summer.
Thank you for being so dumbfounded that I had no time to react.
Her mind went blank. Although the temperature in the hospital was scorching, Xie Xie was cold all over. She turned her head stiffly and saw Cui Dongshan's eyebrows being pierced by a golden thread, falling backwards and crashing to the ground.
It must be the assassination method of a land god!
In the distance, a vicissitudes of life voice sounded happily, "The monster is causing chaos in the country, and it is not a pity to die!"
Further away, Mao Xiaodong, the deputy mountain chief who was the master of Fang Xiaotiandi, shouted angrily: "How dare you commit murder in the academy?!"
Xie Xie's eyes were dull, and he still kept his posture of sitting diagonally on the threshold, looking at the young man in white who fell to the ground. Did he just die like this?
Xie was lightly tapped on the shoulder, and Xie suddenly woke up. His body tensed up, and when he turned his head to look, he was about to slap him away with his backhand.
But Xie stopped in a hurry, with an expression on his face that he had seen a ghost in the day.
It turned out that Cui Dongshan was standing in front of her, bending down to look at her. He narrowed his eyes, put one hand behind his back, and gently stretched out his fingers with the other hand to touch Xie's forehead, pushing her to fall into the room. But the mystery was that
Xie Xie's body had fallen backwards on the floor, but his misty soul remained where he was. Cui Dongshan used arrogant secret techniques to force his body and soul to separate. The soul, which could not withstand the destruction of Yang Qi, was about to dissipate.
Cui Dongshan looked at Xie Xie's soul, and finally found something strange in one of her Qi Palaces. He smiled and said, "Hide and seek with me, please be a little more mature."
He grabbed a dark green light spot and crushed it randomly between his fingers. His body was pulled by the soul, and the delicate body that had lost all consciousness jumped hard like a fish on a chopping board.
Cui Dongshan slapped Xie Hunsoul on the "face" and scolded with a smile: "You are the one who fails to succeed but fails to succeed, go back."
She woke up slowly with a splitting headache. She struggled to sit up, put one hand on the ground and covered her forehead with the other. The pain made her face full of tears.
Cui Dongshan strode across the threshold, bent down and picked up a very high-grade substitute puppet talisman in the room, crushed it into ashes with his fingers, turned around and said with a smile: "Mao Xiaodong, can you bear this?! Everyone is in your house
Shit and peed!”
During the chase, Mao Xiaodong's sneer voice came into the small courtyard and said: "Yes, you are that piece of shit!"
Cui Dongshan chuckled and said: "I walk around every day, so wouldn't our Cliff Academy become a toilet?"
Thank you without saying a word.
Cui Dongshan didn't bother to explain the dangers and mysteries to her. He sat down cross-legged and frowned in thought.
Why is Guanhu Academy so forbearing?
The trip south of the Great Li Cavalry was a bit too smooth, which was seriously inconsistent with his expectations. According to the original plan, it would have to go through at least four arduous battles, one near the central part of the Secular Dynasty, and one with Guanhu Academy.
They broke up with each other, one with the Baishuang Dynasty of South Aquarius Continent, and one with the mountain forces in the south of Aquarius Continent.
Could it be that Aquarius Continent has quietly invaded many forces outside of the Great Li Mo Family?
It's a pity that now that I am no longer the Grand Master of Great Li, many of the top insider information are no longer available, including who the chess player is and what his style of chess is.
Cui Dongshan suddenly asked: "Have you ever thought about taking root in Dali Longquan?"
Xie shook his head, "I never thought about it."
Mao Xiaodong, a tall old man, strode into the courtyard and said, "It's a Nascent Soul monk with unknown origins. He ran away."
Cui Dongshan didn't care at all and said with a smile: "This time is just a test. You should be more careful with the master students in the academy. There are always some self-righteous so-called good people in the world. They think the world should be run according to their ideas. Once
Shanya Academy and the capital city of the Sui Dynasty were in conflict, so it is not impossible that the two mountain alliances between the Gao family and the Song family would be invalidated."
Mao Xiaodong frowned and said, "Do we really want to close the mountain?"
As for today's assassination, there is little difference whether it was the original intention of some mountains in the Sui Dynasty or the work of "Cui Chan"'s enemies, because the possibility Cui Dongshan mentioned was by no means a joke.
Cui Dongshan sneered: "Why, do you think you're losing face?"
Mao Xiaodong made up his mind, turned around and left.
Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "Mao Xiaodong, if you say that you are a piece of shit and something happens, I can help the academy."
Mao Xiaodong turned his head and said expressionlessly: "I am a piece of shit."
Cui Dongshan said angrily: "If I say that I am a piece of shit, can I take back what I said before and watch the fire comfortably from the other side?"
The old man twitched the corner of his mouth, put down the word "no", and left quickly. Cui Dongshan sighed, fell backwards, fell to the ground with a bang, stood up with his fingers together in front of him, and muttered "Urgent"
"Like the law", he rolled around in the room like this.
Thank you for gently wiping the sweat from your forehead.
Cui Dongshan stopped his childish behavior and lay on the floor like a corpse, but he said more childish words, "Sir, when will you come back? This disciple has been bullied."
Thank you helplessly.
Cui Dongshan raised his head and asked, "Do you think your young master is joking?"
Thank you. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded.
Cui Dongshan lay on his side, holding his head with one hand, and sneered: "With Chen Ping'an here, no matter whether his cultivation level is high or not, I just need to work hard. I won't get scolded if I do it right, and I won't get scolded if I do it wrong. Anyway, it doesn't take much."
I think you can take less beatings from me. Yu Lu is so heartless and can just watch the fun. Lin Shouyi will turn more to cultivating Taoism. Li Huai is timid, so he has more reason to be timid.
, anyway, Chen Ping’an is protecting him.”
"All the worries are taken care of by my husband anyway."
Cui Dongshan was lazy and said nothing.
Thanks, I was a little curious and missed a little girl who likes to wear red clothes.
Cui Dongshan sighed, "Probably only Xiaobaoping will feel sorry for my husband."
With an ouch, Cui Dongshan started rolling on the floor again, holding his heart in his hands and shouting, "When I think of this, I feel so bad."

After the brief assassination incident, Shanya Academy began to seal off the mountain gate at the insistent request of deputy mountain chief Mao Xiaodong. No matter whether it was Mr. Confucius or student servants, they were not allowed to go out. The nominal mountain chief was the Minister of Rites of the Sui Dynasty.
, had quite some objections to this, but His Majesty the Emperor supported this matter, and secretly sent several more worshipers to hide near Dongshan, and also allowed Prince Gao Xuan to officially enter the academy to study.
On this day, Gao Xuan accompanied his friend Yu Lu to fish at the lake.
As time went by, Yu Lu finally met Gao Xuan honestly, firstly, about his identity as the former prince of the Lu Dynasty, and secondly, about his martial arts cultivation, the Seventh Realm.
After hearing this, Gao Xuan just said two words, one oh and one wow.
The Prince of Sui Dynasty's eyes were shining at that time, and he was proud of his discernment in choosing friends.
Yu Lu didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and reciprocated the love. Gao Xuan also said many sad things about himself. When getting along with a woman, he hopes that he can be perfect, but he may not really like her. When interacting with a man, he can completely ignore his shortcomings and be sincere.
Treat him like a friend.
Two peers, each holding a green bamboo fishing rod, quietly waited for the fish to take the bait. Gao Xuan asked: "Didn't you say before that the Aquarius Society would hold a martial arts conference? Why did I not see you again after being in the academy for so long?
Going to participate?”
Yu Lu smiled and said: "I did the Aquarius three times, and then I stopped gathering the heroes. It's hard to say for others. Anyway, I'm a little disappointed."
Gao Xuan pointed to the path on the shore and said with a smile: "Li Huai is over there."
Yu Lu did not turn around and look.
You don’t even have to look at it to know that Li Huai must be having fun with two friends, a lively and cheerful but somewhat naughty Han clan member, and a powerful Gongsun who has been wearing a hairpin for generations but is timid and introverted. The three of them somehow got together.
, were inseparable every day. It is said that at the suggestion of the Han tribe, the three little guys cut off chicken heads and burned them on yellow paper, becoming sworn brothers. The so-called chicken heads were just birds caught from the trees, and the yellow paper was made from birds.
The pages were secretly torn out of the classics in the library. After the incident was revealed, the three of them gave Mr. Tuye a spanking until they were happy.
The three of them used the branches in their hands as swords by the lake, whizzing past each other. Li Huai naturally saw Yu Lu who was fishing on the shore, but he hesitated for a moment and still did not say hello to Yu Lu.
If it were Lin Shouyi, Li Huai might even go and chat for a few words. Li Huai was not particularly close to Lu and Xie.
In the team that traveled to study in the Sui Dynasty, Li Huai, Li Baoping, and Lin Shouyi were classmates and fellow villagers, and their friendship was stronger than that between Yu Lu and Xie Xie.
Lin Shouyi goes to the library less now. In addition to attending classes every day, he mostly stays in a small courtyard to practice. This was requested from the academy by a respected old master who was a practicing practitioner.
, willing to teach Lin Shouyi everything, not only explaining to him many subtleties of the "Langlang Book on the Clouds" that Lin Shouyi carried with him, but also brought several fairy secrets from his own collection to the small courtyard.
Lin Shou casually browsed through it, and whenever the old master had time, he would come to the small courtyard and answer Lin Shou's puzzles.
One old and one young, although they do not have the name of master and disciple, they are actually master and disciple.
In addition to studying boring classics and scriptures, Lin Shouyi focused more on pure practice.
Yixin asked.

In the cold autumn, there was a little girl in the academy. She just changed her thin red dress into a thicker one. As for the cotton-padded jacket, she didn't need it for the time being.
She would still often go to the tall trees on the top of Dongshan Mountain alone, sit there in a daze, or eat some pastries to satisfy her cravings. When her classes were heavy, she would sit on the branches with her books and recite, so as not to worry about it.
The next day, she was punished by her husband for copying. Fortunately, when she had a little free time, she would prepare the transcripts of the articles needed for her master's punishment. The piles were stacked neatly, and she had accumulated a lot in the school building.
So she now has the nickname "Book Copying Girl" at Shanya Academy.
Today, Li Baoping was dangling on the tree, counting his fingers and calculating how long it had been since he had been separated from his junior uncle.
It's been so long, why hasn't Junior Uncle come yet?
Li Baoping had a faint look in his eyes.
Haha, since it has been so long, does it mean that the next time we meet is close?
Li Baoping was happy again.
So the little girl in red stood up and jumped up on the branches, trying to keep herself high and look far away. Maybe by accident, the little uncle was already standing at the foot of the mountain?
Click.
Li Baoping fell to the ground, his head and face covered in dust.
Fortunately, he had rich experience and knew how to make the fall less painful. In the end, Li Baoping was not injured, but he was sore and bruised, that's for sure.
The grinning little girl quickly looked around and found that no one saw her embarrassment, so she staggered down the mountain.
Many people took the initiative to say hello to her along the way, and Li Baoping agreed to go there one by one.
After returning to the school building, with nothing to do, she started copying books again. Li Baoping glanced at the "inheritance" on the desk and smiled brightly. Hey, next time the junior uncle comes to the capital of Sui Dynasty, she can skip school for a decade.
Afterwards, her husband settled the accounts with his wife, so she moved this book mountain to him.
The more Li Baoping thought about it, the smarter he felt. He was skillfully copying books with a pen in one hand, and extending his thumb with the other hand. His eyes were shining, and he said: "As expected of the leader of the martial arts alliance, you are so domineering!"

After receiving a letter on Luolu Mountain in Longquan County, the boy in Tsing Yi, who rarely went out, first went to the small town to answer the letter. He was full of confidence, and then went to Piyun Mountain for the first time to look for the boy in Dali Beiyue Hall.
Wei Bo.
But after returning to the bamboo house, the girl in the pink skirt found that he was not very interested. Although she didn't know what he was asking for, it probably didn't go well.
The boy in Tsing Yi didn't want to complain to her. He just sighed and sighed alone on the cliff. He soon became more motivated and went down the mountain to visit the small town, the county government and the kiln superintendent's office. When he came back, he walked around
Feeling ill again, he went to the newly built Longquan County outside the mountains to the north two days later and found the county governor Wu Yuan.
The boy in green was so busy that the girl in pink skirt was confused.
Although he was not serious on weekdays, she knew that he was arrogant and arrogant. In the past, even Wei Bo couldn't look down on him. Don't expect him to be very flattering when he meets Wei Dashan God.
But after flattering the horse, he turned around and spit, let alone Magistrate Yuan, Governor Cao or Governor Wu.
The girl in the pink skirt couldn't help but ask. He just said that you, a girl, know nothing about movies. Then he moved a bamboo chair and sat alone on the edge of the cliff.
Finally one day, the boy in Tsing Yi started to walk like a swagger again.
The girl in the pink skirt was afraid that he would find her annoying again, so she couldn't bear to ask. The boy in Tsing Yi was in a good mood this time. He took the initiative to move two bamboo chairs under the eaves, crossed his legs and ate melon seeds. The girl in the pink skirt thought to himself, maybe he is stupid, right?
The boy in green clothes was full of energy and said with a smile: "The task entrusted to me by Brother Water God has been completed! I have already sent a letter to Huang Tingguo Yujiang Water Temple!"
The girl in pink skirt said in astonishment: "Then what does Yujiang Water God want you to do?"
The boy in green grinned and said: "Isn't it that Huang Tingguo has become a vassal state of Da Li? The Water God Brother heard that I was prosperous in Da Li and wanted me to help him make connections. In addition to ensuring that the Water God Temple is not
In addition to tearing it down, it would be best to ask him and Da Li for a piece of Tai Ping Wu Shi Shi. This trivial matter is nothing, isn’t this what it is all about?!"
It turns out that the Yujiang Water God sent a letter from Huang Tingguo, asking him to do something. The boy in Tsing Yi promised with all his heart, and he was very confident in the letter. He said a lot of big words, but the water god brother can rest assured that some trivial matters are not worth mentioning, waiting for him.
The good news is.
The girl in the pink skirt complained in her heart, what a trivial matter? Before, you scratched your head and scratched your head all day long, looking like you were hopeless, what does it mean?
Besides, why do you have the nerve to say that you are prosperous here in Longquan, even practicing diligently, just to be beaten to death with two punches?
I guess every time I have the courage to go down the mountain, I am always trembling with fear.
The girl in pink skirt asked softly: "Did Mountain God Wei help you solve it?"
The face of the boy in green changed slightly, his smile was a little forced, and he pretended to be bold, "Of course, Wei Bo and I are so familiar, we are so familiar with each other. We call each other brothers every day. This is just a small favor. How dare Wei Bo say no?
The first time I went to Piyun Mountain to visit Beiyuedian, it was just that Old Wei was out for business. You don’t know, but the auxiliary spirits of Shanyuedian were so polite to me and set up a large banquet for me. I said no, but they insisted
They dragged me and refused to let me go down the mountain. Oh, I am so worried..."
The girl in the pink skirt didn't say anything.
She just didn't want to expose the truth, after all, he was so obsessed with face.
The boy in Tsing Yi was talking with saliva and brows, but at the end of the sentence, he lost his energy and simply stopped talking and ate melon seeds silently.
When they met for the second time, Wei Bo indeed nodded in agreement. As Beiyue Zhengshen, he spoke to the Dali court and asked for two amulets for his water god brother who controlled the river.
But he paid a little price in exchange.
A fine snake gallstone given to him by Chen Pingan.
The boy in Tsing Yi feels very hurt, but he has no regrets.
He suddenly laughed, stretched out his hand and pointed to the south, "Stupid girl, when you get to Yujiang, I will take you to the mansion of my water god brother, drink from a big bowl and eat a big piece of meat, so that you can know where I am.
How popular are you! Just because I took you there, everyone will respect you!"
The girl in pink skirt was speechless.
But she accidentally caught a glimpse of his face, which was full of excitement, and she couldn't bear it. She said softly: "Okay, remember not to eat too much fish or meat. I'll just eat some seasonal delicacies."
The boy in green laughed heartily, "What's so difficult about this? It's all a matter of my words!"
The two began to fall silent.
He suddenly said: "If the master is in the mountains, I should be able to run less often, right?"
The girl in pink skirt hummed softly.

In the big mountain to the west, the business of Dong Shuijing's wonton stall is getting better and better. The faithful men and women who come to the mountain temple to burn incense love to come here to have a bowl to relieve fatigue and fill their stomachs. It kills two birds with one stone. As the business grows, the stall becomes too small.
So Dong Shuijing simply built a shop. In this way, in bad weather, customers could come in and have a meal while waiting for the rain to stop. Moreover, this young man was easy to talk to. Even if he didn't pay for the wontons, he would just use the shop as a place to rest.
Not only did the pavilion not chase people away, but they also asked two newly hired shop assistants to deliver a bowl of hot tea.
The store's expenses have increased, but the price of each bowl of wontons has not increased and the taste has remained the same.
As a result, several officials from Longquan County came over after hearing the news. For example, Wu Yuan, the prefect with the highest official hat, ate a bowl of fragrant wontons at the shop and praised it full of praise.
In the dusk that day, the shop was about to close, and the waiters were waiting for a few tables of customers. Dong Shuijing rarely took a break from the busy work. After a hard day's work, he was exhausted, so he sat at the door of the shop, holding a bowl of tea and drinking it slowly.
Dong Shuijing stood up suddenly, drank the rest of the tea quickly, and walked quickly. A group of people came down from the mountain, and there was a familiar face among them. She must have followed the elders in the family to climb the mountain and burn incense. She just came down the mountain now to look at the sky.
, most likely living in the city of Longquan County.
Dong Shuijing smiled and said hello, looked at the ages with the adults, called his uncle and aunt, then looked at the slightly taller girl and asked: "Shi Chunjia, when did you come back?"
Nowadays, the little girl no longer wears braids.
Shi Chunjia went on a thrilling short trip with Li Baoping, Dong Shuijing and others. After returning to the town, these children were divided into three groups, each going their separate ways, each with their own choices.
Li Baoping, Li Huai and Lin Shouyi followed Chen Ping'an to study in Sui Dynasty. Dong Shuijing stayed in the town and went to school for a while, but left soon, leaving one of the two ancestral houses in the town.
After selling one, he not only bought half a street of high-end mansions in the county town, but also used the remaining money as capital to start a business on his own. Only Shi Chunjia sold the ancestral shop in Qilong Lane and moved with his family.
I went to the capital city of the Great Sui Dynasty. I don’t know if I returned to my hometown this time to worship my ancestors or something.
Shi Jiachun's parents had only heard of Dong Shuijing, but had never seen them. Seeing that their daughter was obsessed with leaving, they took advantage of the situation and asked for a few bowls of wontons. Dong Shuijing cooked the food himself, handed it to the table, and said a few words before returning.
Behind the counter, Shi Jiachun finished his meal in a hurry, then got up and ran to Dong Shuijing, asking in a low voice if there was any news about the treasure bottle. Dong Shuijing could only repeat some of the things Chen Ping'an said, and Shi Jiachun pricked up his ears.
Don't want to miss a word.
Dong Shuijing looked around and saw that the wontons there were almost finished. He seemed to ask casually: "Are you going to stay when you come back this time?"
Shi Jiachun nodded and said: "I heard that the new school here was founded by the Chen family in Longwei Xi, so my grandfather asked me and my parents to come back. Anyway, the shop was sold, but the ancestral house is still there and we have a place to live."
Dong Shuijing nodded.
In the end, Shi Jiachun and the others still collected the money, but it was less copper coins per bowl than usual.
Shi Jiachun was a girl with a straightforward personality. When she saw that Dong Shuijing dared to accept money, she glared hard at this classmate who was looking for money.
Dong Shuijing smiled slightly and didn't take it seriously.
I watched them leave, knowing that there would be many opportunities to meet in the future.
When doing business, when an acquaintance comes to visit, you must not kill the acquaintance, but you cannot not charge money, and it is best not to make a profit or lose.
Otherwise, the more you do business, the less friends you will have.
You lose money time and time again, but that person still likes to come to your door from time to time, proving that the other person does not regard you as a friend.
If you make more than usual every time, then it becomes clearer that you have never regarded that person as a friend. If this is the case, it will be more satisfying.
If it's the former, it will be worrying.
After confirming that there would be no more customers, the two shop assistants were exhausted. Dong Shuijing made two large bowls of wontons for each of them and watched them devour them. Dong Shuijing looked at the night outside the shop, and then saw a man holding a long sword.
The man hanging behind him crossed the threshold.
A Mohist hero named Xu Ruo, who had just returned to Longquan County Ferry from Old Dragon City, found this place directly, smiled at the tall young man and asked: "I have already told you about her news against the law, so have you decided now?
?”
Dong Shuijing nodded.
Now that she is already among the gods, she can no longer live like this.
If you become a credit card holder, you can live for decades or even hundreds of years longer.
Regardless of whether he can get together with that girl in the end, it is always good to see her a few more times.

A little devil named Gu appeared in Shujian Lake.
His name is Gu Can, and he is a close disciple of Qingxia Island Jiejiang Zhenjun Liu Zhimao. He is actually able to control a dragon whose strength is comparable to the peak of Jindan. In the previous bloody battle between the same sect, the dragon killed Qingxia Island with corpses everywhere.
What's even more strange is that Liu Zhimao didn't stop him from the beginning to the end. Even though the eldest disciple was bitten to death by the beast, he still didn't show up.
If it had stopped here, Little Devil Gu's fierce reputation would not have spread throughout Shujian Lake, the largest water area in Aquarius Continent. The reason is that after that, on the blue waves of Shujian Lake, there would often be a seemingly innocent and innocent person.
The evil child was wandering around. At first, some Qi practitioners mistakenly thought that the child had used water control and water avoidance techniques to be able to swim leisurely on the lake without moving his feet.
Generally speaking, it's all about keeping water in a well but not in the river.
But one time, something bad happened. More than 20 young Qi practitioners who had good relationships with each other took a huge boat and went out on a lake together. They accidentally met the child, and they faced each other head on.
, no one wanted to give way, so a conflict broke out.
As a result, when the two sides were about to collide, the child with his arms folded across his chest suddenly rose up. It turned out that he was stepping on a huge dragon. It pressed down with its claws and cut off a large ship. It first tried to use the wind to escape from the sunken ship.
The Qigong practitioners were rushed past by the beast's spray of water, leaving only their skeletons. As for the group that became drowned rats, they were disembowelled one by one with claws. Those who were less lucky were killed.
It is put into the big mouth and chewed.
All weapons and magical powers hit it without any pain or itching. It didn't even bother to dodge. The most miserable person was a "smart man" who tried to capture the thief first. He was a swordsman with a high status.
In Shujian Lake, where all the heroes gathered, he became famous and used his natal flying sword to assassinate the child standing on the top of the dragon's head.
The dragon, which had always been in a playful mood, immediately became extremely irritable. He controlled the lake water around his body, set off huge waves, and trapped the swordsman in a square cage of blue water. Then he didn't know what the beast used.
This secret method actually sucked out all the air, allowing the sword cultivator's spiritual energy to dry up, and his body exploded to death.
There was a loud bang.
That prison was filled with blood.
It's like a huge flower blooming.
The child sat cross-legged on the dragon's head and laughed.
Some Longmen Realm monks and Jindan Realm bosses who rushed over were frightened when they saw this scene up close and personal. The Qingxia Island had been in internal strife before, and the distance was far away, and the beasts at that time did not show anything similar to the Qi Practitioners.
Today, with a distance of less than a hundred feet, I see that beast seems to have awakened and fully understood its natal magical power. If the records in the ancient books about the dragon clan are correct, wouldn't it mean that as long as we make further progress, it will be worthy of the name.
The Immortal Dragon can transform into a human form. In the ancient times when dragons flourished, it might have been qualified to own a dragon palace among the great rivers.
This group of famous Shujianhu monks were still lucky at first and wanted to secretly save one or two of their disciples. However, an old monk from the Dragon Gate Realm who was the first to do this gently waved his claws at the beast.
Dozens of feet away, the old monk's entire body had a huge claw mark inexplicably, which was blown up in the air.
In a fight between monks in the middle and fifth realms, even if they are separated by one or two realms, the suspense of victory or defeat is definitely not great, but generally the judgment of life and death will not be like this.
Everyone looked at each other, but in the end no one saved the sect disciples who fell into the water. They chose to protect themselves wisely and retreat quickly.
After that, some people smuggled into Qingxia Island and tried to assassinate the demon Gu Can, but they were all killed one by one by Zhenjun Liu Zhimao. In half a year, five or six assassinations were carried out one after another, but they were all stopped by Qingxia Island.
Next, half a year later, with Liu Zhimao as the leader and Gu Can and that beast as the main force, they attacked the island sect where the assassins were located. Without exception, only some young girls with acceptable monastic qualifications were selected, and the rest were all executed.
After scraping three feet of the ground and collecting all the treasures and magic weapons, Qingxia Island suddenly became the master of the Shujian Lake archipelago. Those who followed it prospered, and those who went against it perished.
Now Gu Can and his mother live in one of the most magnificent mansions on Qingxia Island. Several times, the master and apprentice have joined forces to destroy the sect's mountain. After the war ends, Gu Can will ask the senior sister who informed him of the news back then.
, helped him select some beauties with outstanding looks, who were not very young, as candidates for the future "little girls", and also specially hired someone to teach them how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Today, it was rare for Gu Can not to go out for fun. She accompanied her mother to the back hall, knelt down respectfully on the futon, kowtowed to a memorial tablet and offered incense.
Over the years, the woman has been pampered and her appearance and figure have become more plump and attractive.
After the woman got up, she closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and murmured softly, as if she was reporting peace to her dead husband.
Gu Can stood in the solemn and silent lobby, looking up at the curling incense in front of him. The child, whose hands had been stained with countless blood, was speechless.
The two of them crossed the threshold together, and Gu Can suddenly called her mother.
The woman holding Gu Can's little hand looked down and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
Gu Can forced out a smile, shook her head, and said it was okay.

In the capital city of Nanyuan Kingdom, there was a hungry and skinny little girl, with shabby clothes and cold eyes. She walked carefully to Qinghefang, where the powerful were gathered, and came to the back door of a luxurious mansion by familiar routes. She was skinny under the scorching sun.
The dark-skinned little girl was sweating profusely from walking, but her expression was still cold. She squatted in the shade of a big tree. She looked up and saw the scorching sun in the sky. The brightness made her eyes shed tears.
.
She silently looked away and wiped her tears.
Soon the back door of the house was secretly opened. Through the narrow crack in the door, a man of about the same age as the skinny girl slipped out. He was a rich and well-dressed little girl. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes. She hugged her with some difficulty.
A small wooden box, dripping with sweat, trotted up to the skinny girl and said with a bright smile: "A gift for you."
In the scorching heat of midsummer, some water stains seeped out of the small wooden box.
The skinny girl frowned and took the wooden box, held it in her arms, and pushed open the lid with one hand.
The beautiful little girl opposite laughed happily, "Do you still remember, we built this snowman together last winter, and I asked my family to put it in the ice cellar, and I deliberately took it out for you today. Do you like it?"
"
The skinny little girl lowered her head and stared at the little snowman, unable to see her expression clearly.
The beautiful girl who came out of the noble family was still asking for credit, innocently asking if she liked it.
The skinny little girl slowly raised her head and asked, "Where's the food?"
The pretty girl uttered an ouch and apologized: "I'm sorry, I forgot."
She cried sadly and kept apologizing, "I will go to the temple with my parents soon to burn incense and pray for blessings. I can't bring you anything to eat today. I'm sorry..."
The skinny little girl twitched her lips, lowered her head and glanced at the little snowman in the small wooden box.
A snap.
The wooden box "accidentally" fell to the ground.
The beautiful little girl was about to cry and hurriedly knelt down.
The skinny little girl also squatted down, and just reached out to pick up a stone at the base of the wall. She looked at the little snowman broken in half in the wooden box, then she raised her hand high and pointed towards the girl in beautiful clothes.
Smash it hard.
A breeze blew by.
When the beautiful little girl raised her head, smiled, and wanted to say it was okay to her good friend, she was surprised to find a stranger in front of her, wearing a beautiful snow-white robe, and carrying a sword on her waist.
A small scarlet gourd, the little girl blinked her moist eyes, turned her head slightly, looked at the dark and skinny little girl, full of questions.
I found my good friend being held by that person.
The guy with the sword on his back smiled and pointed to her in the direction of the back door and said, "Go home first. Look, someone is waiting for you."
Sure enough, the housekeeper, Grandpa Zhao, had already arrived. The beautiful little girl was holding the small wooden box, hesitant as she didn't know whether to give it to her playmate or take it home and hide it in the ice cellar.
Fortunately, the stranger made the decision for her again, "Take it back. It's a pity that you can't keep it outside. You can wait until it snows this winter and then build this little snowman into a big snowman."
The little girl nodded vigorously, hugged the small wooden box, and said goodbye to her good friend whom she had known for nearly two years.
The skinny little girl remained silent.
When the door closes.
Chen Pingan let go of the little girl's hand. He found it unbelievable to this little lunatic. The two children obviously had a good relationship, but they wanted to kill each other just because they didn't bring food?
Chen Pingan looked down and asked, "Who are you?"
The little girl raised her head and asked, "Do you care about me?"
