Cui Dongshan casually put down the pair of chopsticks, lowered his head, placed the two chopsticks neatly, raised his head, and said with a smile: "It seems you are sure that I won't go on a killing spree here?"
Cui Dongshan clapped his hands and laughed, and stood up slowly, "You are right. I will not kill indiscriminately on my mobile phone. After all, I have to return to the Cliff Academy. That's all, my descendants will have their own blessings, and I will be the boss.
My ancestors can only help you up to this point."
However, Cai Jingshen stretched out his hand to signal Cui Dongshan to sit back and asked: "How can you prove that your words are effective in the Sui Dynasty and in the Li temple?"
Cui Dongshan leaned lazily on the chair, stretched out his hand to play with his bun, and twisted it gently, "It's not easy to prove."
Cai Jingshen had no choice but to take a step back, hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Then how do you extract Cai Feng, and it must be the kind that leaves no consequences and will not affect his future career? I must remind you, no.
Letting Cai Feng defect in battle and betray his friends for glory will hinder Cai Feng's path to becoming a god after his death. Cai Feng will be closely related to the Sui Dynasty Zuo, luck and Feng Shui for hundreds of thousands of years, and he has done such disgusting things.
It is not difficult to be honored while alive, but after death you will be rejected by the incense of the Sui Dynasty."
Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "The mountain people have their own clever plans. Don't worry, I guarantee that Cai Feng was appointed to the six ministers during his lifetime, except the Ministry of Rites. This position is too important. I am not the emperor of Dali. As for after his death, he will become a big state within a hundred years."
Mr. Chenghuang Pavilion, how about excluding Longxing Land in Geyang of the Gao family?"
Cai Jingshen asked tentatively: "What about the choice and reputation of our Cai family?"
Cui Dongshan said with a smile: "When the time comes, I will ask you and the Cai family to cooperate in two painful schemes. Everyone will give you Cai Jingshen a thumbs up. From now on, history books will definitely have good words."
Cai Jingshen wanted to speak but stopped.
Cui Dongshan sneered and said: "Sign a landscape covenant between you and the Earth Immortals? Cai Jingshen, I advise you not to do this."
Cai Jingshen thought of those erect golden pupils and felt horrified. Although he and the Cai family were at the mercy of others and felt aggrieved, the unbearable consequences would be that Cai Feng would drag the entire family into an abyss, which would even affect him.
As an ancestor of the practice, the current depression is not unbearable.
Now that we have become a temporary ally.
Cai Jingshen wanted to express some sincerity, "When Mr. Cui was assassinated in the academy with a gold thread, he escaped with a death charm. Didn't Mr. Cui want to know who was behind the scenes? Or do you think it was actually a group of people?
"
Cui Dongshan squinted at Cai Jingshen.
Cai Jingshen felt uncomfortable and didn't understand what he said wrong.
Cui Dongshan stood up and took a bottle of unopened old wine from the cellar from the table, "I was so bored in the academy that I almost went to the top of the mountain to hang myself. I finally waited for such an interesting thing. Do you see what I did afterwards? I waited.
After a long time, I didn't see them continue to sneak attack and assassinate, so I had to take the initiative to run to Qingxiao Crossing and stretch my neck. As a result, no one dared to take action, so I had to move several large cars to Qingxiao Crossing Lvzhu back to the academy to lay the floor.
What price? How much money should I give Xiaoshu? Why? I am grateful to them for relieving my boredom. In order to deal with the second assassination, I planned so many backup plans. Although there was no chance to use them, the process of using my brain was still very effective.
To pass the boring time."
Cui Dongshan walked around the table and patted Cai Jingshen on the shoulder, "Xiao Cai, you are still too young to know my temper. If we get along for a long time in the future, you will find that you have recognized a good ancestor. I will go to your ancestral grave when I have time.
Look, the smoke must be billowing. If any ancestors of the Cai family entrust you with dreams in the near future and express their gratitude to me with tears and runny noses, you can tell them that there is no need to thank me. Being kind and charitable has always been the foundation of my knowledge."
Cai Jingshen turned a deaf ear with a straight face.
The bull monster, which belongs to the local ox family, has already gone to the "cattle pen" to rest.
However, Wei Xian had been sitting at the wine table where Cui Dongshan and Cai Jingshen were sitting, saying nothing and just drinking.
Wei Xian followed Cui Dongshan to his residence.
After the two sat down, Cui Dongshan used the golden flying sword to draw a thunder pond to isolate Cai Jingshen from prying eyes.
Cui Dongshan kicked off his boots, sat cross-legged on a chair, and asked with a smile: "Come and help me seal the coffin with a sentence or two."
Wei Xian said slowly: "The high-flying bird dies of delicious food. The fish in the deep spring dies of fragrant bait."
In Wei Xian's view, Cai Jingshen and his ilk are worth mentioning because they are both powerful and powerful.
Under the general trend, the torrent is rolling, and even a Nascent Soul Earth Immortal is still like a mantis.
Before entering the city, Cui Dongshan showed Wei Xian a lot of intelligence about the inside story of the Sui Dynasty. The conspiracy of Cai Feng in the capital was nothing more than the secret hidden by Cai Jingshen, the old worshiper of the Gao family.
During the Great Sui Dynasty, the Gao family was able to join forces with the Lu family to suppress the rise of the Great Li who had the national advisor Cui Chan and Shanya Academy, but this was delayed for decades.
It's not just as simple as Emperor Gao's foresight in the Sui Dynasty.
At the beginning of Da Li, there were experts from the Mo family and the Lu family of the Yin and Yang family who helped build the imitation White Jade Capital. In the Sui Dynasty and the Lu family, there were also great monks from various schools of thought, hiding behind the scenes and gesticulating.
Cai Jingshen is a chess piece that is buried deeper and more important.
Don't look at Cai Jingshen's timid performance tonight, Cui Dongshan is in full control of the situation. In fact, Cai Jingshen even "resigned out of anger" and moved his family out of the capital. It seemed that he couldn't bear the humiliation.
It's an instruction from an expert.
Nowadays, the Sui Dynasty and the Great Li have formed the highest-ranking mountain alliance. On the one hand, Donghua Mountain is where the Cliff Academy is located, where the Dragon Vein King Qi gathers. On the other hand, Piyun Mountain, the latest dynasty's northern mountain, serves as the place where the mountain alliance offers sacrifices to heaven and earth.
It seemed that everyone was happy. The Sui Dynasty did not have to fight head-on with the Great Li cavalry and won a good opportunity to recuperate for more than a hundred years. It only ceded the Huang Tingguo and other Ping vassals, while the Great Li was able to preserve its strength and go south with all its strength, killing Zhu Zhu with overwhelming force.
The border of Ying Dynasty.
But behind the scenes, the Song family of Da Li and the Gao family of Sui Dynasty naturally had their own thoughts.
Especially after the death of Emperor Song Zhengchun of the Great Li Dynasty, even though the Great Li Shushu kept the secret secret, I believe that the Sui people might have noticed it, so they were ready to take action.
Although the Great Li cavalry is now unstoppable and covers half of the Aquarius Continent, it is not stable. Once the Great Li and Great Sui burst into flames in their backyards at the same time, coupled with the sudden force of Guanhu Academy and the Zhuying Dynasty, the Great Li's set seems to be
In a chess game with a good situation, the dragon will be slain in an instant. At that time, the entire northern territory will be trampled and crushed by the great Li cavalry. Under the eyes of the boss behind the scenes who won the victory through late strikes, there will be big pieces of fat everywhere that can be legitimately put into the mouth.
Cui Dongshan's trip to Wei Xian admitted that it had no purpose, and it varied from time to time. Whether it was to recruit, to suppress, or to be used as bait, it just depends on how Cai Jingshen responded.
Wei Xian did not dare to say that Cui Dongshan would definitely be able to defeat those top figures behind the scenes.
But Cai Jingshen is definitely not a problem and will only be played by Cui Dongshan.
That's why Wei Xian said that birds and fish are greedy for food.
Cui Dongshan shook his head. Cui Dongshan stretched out his fingers and wrote the same sixteen words in the air.
If the tiger humbles its power, it will be attacked. If the tiger shrinks its body, it will be attacked.
Wei Xian frowned and said, "The Sui Dynasty really wants to tear up the alliance and make a desperate move. Does it mean he wants to replace the Great Li?"
Cui Dongshan laughed loudly and pointed at himself.
Wei Xian was stunned for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "The Imperial Master is far-sighted and far-sighted."
Cui Dongshan complained a little, "From now on, it's okay to call me Mr. Cui. One word means a national teacher. I always feel that you, the founding emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom, are taking advantage of me."
Wei Xian sighed: "Nanyuan is a small place, but it is the land of several states in Da Li. There were people who banished immortals and left only a few words. That's why I ordered the alchemists of Nanyuan to go into the mountains to seek seclusion and go out to sea to visit the immortals, but they didn't really come.
When I visited the vast world, I still couldn’t imagine how vast it truly is.”
Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "There is a very powerful scholar in Tushen Continent. He once sighed like a drop in the ocean and a mustard seed on the land. If you have a chance in the future, I will take you to meet him. When the time comes, you can sigh like a frog in a well again. It is very timely.
.”
Cui Dongshan held the handle of the chair with both hands and shook it, and the chair began to "move". Cui Dongshan seemed to be jolting on a horse, which looked extremely funny.
It's just that Wei Xian has been accustomed to spending time with Cui Dongshan day and night during this period. When it comes to this matter, Wei Xian and Yu Lu should adapt to it much earlier.
This is probably the mentality of an emperor or a crown prince.
Cui Dongshan said slowly: "I told you the answer. Anyway, the people behind the Sui Dynasty and Da Li are fighting for their backs. The life and death of pawns like Cai Feng, as well as the surrender of Cai Jingshen and others, are all at stake.
If I can't stir up trouble, then the reason why I stayed in Zhoucheng and did not go to the academy in the capital is actually not as complicated as you think. My husband loves Xiaobaoping the most. Mao Xiaodong is someone who can't hide his words. He will definitely tell him about this in Sui Dynasty.
This is a disgraceful conspiracy. If I head into it now, I will definitely be angered and scolded for not doing my job properly."
"If I talk to my husband about the great cause of the country, it will be even more unpleasant. Maybe even his students will not be able to do it. But things still need to be done. I can't say, sir, don't worry, Aquarius Li Huai and the kids will be fine.
, Sir, now the knowledge is becoming more and more complete. From the order of the original intention to the quality of the final goal, as well as the path choice during the period, it has a rough prototype. My more cold-blooded philistine wording on work is very easy to deal with.
It’s strenuous.”
"So it's better for me to hide here, make amends for my mistakes, produce real results, help cut off some connections, and then go to the academy to admit my punishment. The worst I can do is get a beating. It's better than letting the husband feel sad. Then I'm done.
.Once he is determined to have evil intentions, it will be difficult for gods to save him, even if an old scholar comes forward to plead for mercy, it may not be effective."
Wei Xian thought for a moment and was about to speak.
Cui Dongshan, who had already moved to the window with his chair, turned his back to Wei Xian and waved his hand, "Wei Xian is not qualified to comment on the dispute between my husband and I, so read more and talk less."
Cui Dongshan murmured: "Wu Yuan, the governor of Longquan County, Wei Li of Huangting State, Liu Qingfeng of Qingluan State, Wei Liang, the Grand Governor, and you, Wei Xian, are all our... good seedlings for our Prime Minister, and you are the best choice for me."
Wei Liang and Wei Liang have the highest starting point, but your future success still depends on your own ability. Wei Liang will not talk about him, Gu Yun Yehe is not a real chess piece, and they are complementary to each other, but Wu Yuan and Liu Qingfeng are
He has carefully cultivated you, and you and Wei Li are my choices. From now on, the four of you will come to the ring for us."
The words were a bit cloudy, but Wei Xian kept them in mind silently.
Cui Dongshan suddenly slapped the handle of the chair, "That stupid Shi Rou, I guess you still don't know that the origami sentence in the tip bag, but my heartfelt words, sincere words, blood and tears, are from a person who has experienced it.
The most precious words of experience. Next time I see her in the academy, if she doesn’t make any progress, let’s see how I deal with her! Humph, Du Mao looks like a fairy, she doesn’t have to eat, drink or sleep, so she can endure her nausea. I’m here
Sometimes she is required to eat, drink, poop, take a shower, and do it several times! She also needs to know what a real man is!"
Wei Xian said goodbye and left.
Cui Dongshan waved his sleeves and removed the restriction of the thunder pool surrounded by golden light.
Wei Xian sincerely admired and respected this man.
I admire the fact that Da Li can achieve such a great situation today. It has been less than a hundred years since it was a small vassal country under the Lu Dynasty.
But these were not enough to make Wei Xian feel in awe of the national master Cui Chan. When this person was conquering the world, he was thinking very hard about how to defend the country.
Wei Xian felt that this was the real game of chess.
After Wei Xian left, Cui Dongshan flicked his wrist, grabbed the pot of wine on the table, and took a sip of wine.
During the ups and downs of his travels, he saw too many people and things, read more books, and saw countless mountains and rivers.
During the thrilling March 4th War that year, there was an official who was inconspicuous both in life and death. He probably said something that no one took to heart, but it has always moved Cui Chan and will be remembered to this day.
"Heaven and earth have given destiny, and life must lead to death. Plants and trees spring and autumn, and their prosperity must wither. This is the law of heaven! You Qi practitioners who disregard the law and care about human life, and mountain gods who treat people like ants, how are you different from that monster clan?!
"
Cui Dongshan twisted the wine bottle with his fingers, slumped back on the chair, and murmured to himself, his voice as thin as a mosquito, intermittent: "I was once the banished immortal, and I drank the spring water of the wine brewed by the God of Heaven, and drank the water of Baidi City.
Colorful cloud spectrum... I look at the iron surface and horizontal waves, but I am not happy at all... I am homeless, dining with rosy clouds, drinking dew, and feasting on the cool breeze. I light up the lanterns and drink wine, which is no match for the wind, rain, thunder and lightning... Mr. drunkenly shakes his head and holds it high
With the cup empty, I asked God and his heart which one came first. The boy couldn't be right, so he lowered his head and fell asleep. However, he heard the chirping of insects on the walls, which was in harmony with the chirping of the sir... The gentleman took off his clothes and put on the boy's clothes. He stumbled and fell into the broken house.
Sleeping on the floor, snoring like thunder, dreaming about the world..."
Cui Dongshan suddenly stretched out his hand and scratched his cheek, "It's not interesting. Change it to another one. What should I change? Well, I have it!"
He started humming an unknown folk song, "One toad with one mouth, two toads with four legs, jumping into the water, the toads don't eat water, the year of peace, the toads don't eat water, the year of peace..."
The Cai family's residence in Beijing.
In the silence of the carriages and horses, distinguished friends gathered, and all the wise men arrived.
Cai Feng, the second-ranked scholar currently serving in the Imperial College, is already considered a distinguished figure.
I never thought that tonight, among seven or eight people, Cai Feng would be the one with the lowest official position.
Guo Xin, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, Tao Jiu, the right minister of the Ministry of War, Miao Ren, the general of Longniu after the founding of the country, Song Shan, the deputy commander of the infantry Yamen in charge of public security in the capital...
Most of them were young officials from the capital of the Sui Dynasty, not very old. The elders were like Tao Jiu, who was only forty-five years old.
Cai Feng is a tall, handsome young man with a majestic appearance. Even when facing these high-ranking officials, he still maintains his imposing manner.
This is not only self-reliance on talent and learning, but also related to the surname of this mansion. The ancestor of the Cai family, Cai Jingshen, even if he becomes the butt of laughter, he is still an old immortal immortal who has protected the capital of the Sui Dynasty for many years.
Everyone is drinking tea or drinking, and they have already made plans. It is very likely that the future trend of the Sui Dynasty, and even the future trend of the entire Aquarius Continent, will be decided in Cai Mansion tonight.
Half a month later, His Majesty the Emperor will convene a banquet of thousands of old men. You can do anything before or after this!
Cai Feng stood up and said loudly: "Studying the books of saints and sages diligently, all the people in the mountains and rivers will not be insulted, and the country's surname will be protected from being overridden by foreign countries and foreign surnames. We, the scholars, are sacrificing our lives for righteousness. It is at this time!"
Another newly-appointed number one scholar who was still in the Hanlin Academy stood up suddenly, threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, smashed it into pieces, and said in a deep voice: "A son has no two fathers, and a minister has no two kings. I would rather be broken into pieces than be ruined! I
Most of the thirty-six generals who founded the Sui Dynasty were Confucian scholars!"
The crowd was furious and passionate.
Someone raised their arms and shouted, "Swear to kill the demon Mao Xiaodong!"
Some people burst into tears and slapped the chair handle again and again with their palms, "How can I, the Sui Dynasty, bow down to the barbarian Song family, cede territory for peace, and be defeated without a fight? It is a great shame!"
The crowd gradually dispersed.
Cai Feng didn't see anyone off, otherwise it would be too eye-catching.
Although Song Shan had made arrangements and the night confinement near Cai's house had been cleared, and all the soldiers were the confidants of the deputy commander of the infantry yamen, it was still better to be careful.
Cai Feng stayed alone in the lonely banquet room, where the smell of wine still filled the air.
Cai Feng's eyes were hot.
Who can turn the tide but Cai Feng?
Miao Ren and Zhang Dai, the new champion scholar, left in the same carriage.
The two of them sat opposite each other in the carriage.
Miao Ren looked at the young man with a calm expression, and felt a little self-deprecating. He was not as calm as a junior at a weak age. He was worthy of being praised as a prime minister, and he was the same as Li Changying, the future gentleman of Cliff Academy, and Nan Xi.
Chu Tong, plus Cai Feng, were known as the Four Spirits of the Capital. They were the leaders of the younger generation of the Sui Dynasty. In addition, there were the four chiefs including Pan Yuanchun, the son of the late general Pan Maozhen. However, these were all younger brothers of the generals. In the end,
After the young Pan Yuanchun left the academy to join the army on the border, the four chiefs were all in the army.
There are eight people in total among these Four Spirits and Four Leaders. After the achievements of powerful nobles, such as Chu, Dong and Pan Yuanchun, there are four people. There are also four people who work hard for the common people in humble families, such as Zhang Dai and Li Changying in front of me.
Miao Ren knew that there were only three young people with bright futures and destined to have a smooth career involved in this plan.
Therefore, Miao Ren felt that all the heroic spirits of the Sui Dynasty would protect them and they were done.
Miao Ren opened the car curtain and took a look outside. The night was dark and it was still a long time before dawn.
On the way back, Chen Ping'an was still thinking about what Lin Shouyi said, but after thinking about it, he didn't feel that he had done anything worthy of Lin Shouyi's gratitude.
If it is said that Li Baoping and Li Huai are in love with each other, Chen Pingan is not surprised at all.
But Lin Shouyi was different, probably because of his sensitive background. He had always been thoughtful, very independent, and ambitious, so it was not surprising to Chen Ping'an that he entered the path of spiritual practice early in his studies.
Zhu Lian's intuition was sharp, so he did not go straight back to his guest house. Instead, he followed Chen Ping'an into the house and asked softly: "Is there anything going on?"
The two nominal masters and servants fought to the death one after another and developed a tacit understanding.
Chen Ping'an did not hide it from Zhu Lian. After pouring two bowls of wine, he nodded and said: "Master Mao Shan told me that someone in the capital of the Sui Dynasty is going to target the academy students in the near future. He hopes that during the critical period when the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty holds the Thousands of Old Banquets, there will be a large number of people."
Envoy Li's participation in the grand event could arouse the public anger of the two countries if something went wrong on the academy's side, which would upset the delicate balance and possibly start a border war. In the past two years, the Sui Dynasty and the public had taken the initiative to take an interest in the barbarian Emperor Gao.
Li bowed his head and obeyed, holding back a breath of evil fire. From the humiliated ministers and generals, to the indignant scholars, to the confused common people, as long as an opportunity arises, he will..."
Zhu Lian then said: "A single spark will start a prairie fire, and once it is out of control, the Sui generals will have no way to turn back. Even the Emperor Gao will be forced to tear up the mountain alliance."
Chen Ping'an said calmly: "I understand these important matters in the court. Seeking benevolence will lead to no resentment. So I would not care about it. I will not seek political advice if I am not in my position. It is the same as when we walk in the rivers and lakes and are responsible for life and death. It's just that
Aquarius and the others are involved..."
Chen Pingan drank the entire bowl of wine in one gulp and stopped talking.
Zhu Lian was slightly surprised.
Very murderous.
In the heart of the lake, a ferocious aura arose.
Zhu Lian wanted to speak but stopped.
Chen Pingan's face was calm, "I know."
Chen Pingan poured a bowl of wine, "The more I practice swordsmanship, the more I am influenced by the swordsman Wei Jin who split the night with his sword, and the massacre in Jiaolonggou. I am a timid person, and I dare not
I did whatever I wanted, but later I was seriously injured by Du Mao's sword-swallowing boat, and later, when I met my enemy Li Baozhen, it became more and more clear to me that there was something wrong with my state of mind. It was even possible that my natal porcelain was broken in the same way as when I was the earliest.
It has a lot to do with it, but it’s very troublesome anyway.”
Zhu Lian worriedly said: "How should the young master deal with it? This seems to involve a knot in the heart...or is it the inner demon of a cultivator?"
Chen Ping'an raised the wine bowl, touched it with Zhu Lian, and said with a smile: "Read more."
Seeing Zhu Lian's bewildered expression, Chen Ping'an smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not kidding you."
Zhu Lian took a sip of wine and shook his head.
If this is not a joke, what else is there in the world?
Chen Pingan said softly: "Before I arrived at Donghuashan Academy, I actually started to read the books of sages and sages in depth, intentionally or unintentionally. Why did I go to the Confucian books in Qingluan Kingdom? Because I found that reading only Confucian books seemed to be related to me.
Some people's original intentions are unclear, but they are not completely consistent and have little effect. Therefore, under Cui Dongshan's suggestion, I want to verify the Confucian moral chapter and the fundamental knowledge of Legalism with each other. Looking back, it is indeed of some use, etc.
When I arrived at the academy, I saw the ruler on Master Maoshan's waist and the inscriptions on the side. It suddenly dawned on me that I was on the right path. But before, I was confused and relied on intuition. I actually had no idea where I was going.
You may not know what I, Chen Pingan, am most afraid of..."
Chen Pingan began to formulate his words.
Zhu Lian said tentatively: "Draw your sword and look around, feeling confused."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's so interesting. As long as I see... someone standing somewhere far away or high, no matter how far or high, I won't be afraid."
Chen Pingan gently wrote on the table with his fingers and said slowly: "The sage has a saying: follow your heart's desires and do not exceed the rules. This is the right medicine."
Zhu Lian held up the wine bowl, feeling that it was neither good nor bad to drink.
Chen Pingan laughed and said: "You still need a reason to drink? Leave one!"
The two finished the bowl of wine.
Chen Ping'an felt that since martial arts experience and life-and-death enemies are the most beneficial to cultivation, is it possible to practice Qi Shi yourself to sharpen your mind, work hard, and use it as a dragon-slaying stage for cultivation?
Just like when he was on the Chengtian Mountains on the ferry, Zhu Lian punched Pei Qian, but Pei Qian dodged it.
Shi Rou is not a pure martial artist. He doesn't know what is so wonderful about Pei Qian relying on his "instinct" to break through and dodge punches from all four realms.
Zhu Lian was also not a Taoist and did not understand the horror of the earthly immortals who regarded their inner demons as mortal enemies, so he did not understand how high the realm Chen Ping'an sought.
Had a drink.
Zhu Lian began to make calculations out of habit and said: "I heard from Shi Rou that last time on the wall of the Lion Garden, the young master almost got into a fight with Uncle Liu, the girl in the master's sword room, and almost pulled out the sword from behind, but Shi Rou was behind you.
Did you find that even if the young master only held the hilt of the sword, his palms were burned and injured? He had to withdraw his hands into his sleeves afterwards to prevent Uncle Liu from discovering the truth?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "There is no way, half-immortal soldiers are so difficult to serve."
Zhu Lian looked puzzled.
Regarding the battle between Ouhua Blessed Land and Ding Ying, Chen Pingan once said it carefully. It was a review of the chess game between the master and the servant.
Chen Pingan explained: "The 'Changqi' sword I told you about before, although it is of higher quality, most of the restrictions were broken by the boss swordsman. Otherwise, I will never be able to pull it out until my death."
The sword, and the Fu family of Old Longcheng acted as the 'sword immortals' to apologize. On the one hand, they wanted to watch the show and knew that giving it away to me would mean that the so-called semi-immortal soldiers would be useless for a long time.
In line with the rules, they helped open all the restrictions, which means that this sword fairy sword is like a house without the door key. It falls into my hands, Chen Pingan, and can be used. If it accidentally falls into the hands of others, it can be used.
Having free access to the mansion is an act with ulterior motives."
Chen Pingan stretched out his hand and grabbed the sword fairy on the bed. "I have been using the small refining method to peel off the secret restrictions. The progress is slow. I probably need to reach the seventh level of martial arts to break all the restrictions one by one.
, it can be used freely, like an arm and a finger. If you pull it out now, you will kill one thousand enemies and damage yourself eight hundred. It is best not to use it unless it is absolutely necessary."
Zhu Lian suddenly understood, took a sip of wine, and then said slowly: "Li Baoping, Li Huai, Lin Shouyi, Yu Lu, thank you. The five of them are all from Dali. It doesn't make much sense to assassinate Yu Lu. Thank you for identifying yourself."
, is a remnant of the Lu family. Although he was once a Taoist genius in the residence of the most powerful immortal family of the Lu family, his identity determines that thank you is not enough. The first three are all from Lizhu Cave Heaven, and they were taught carefully by Mr. Qi in the past.
The direct disciples, Xiao Baoping and Li Huai are the best. One of the family ancestors is already Da Li worshiping Yuanying, and one father is the great master of the end. If anyone has a problem, Da Li will not let it go.
One is unwilling, the other is afraid."
Chen Ping'an did not mention Li Xisheng's matter to Zhu Lian, so Zhu Lian said "dare not" to Li Huai, whose father is Li Er.
Li Xisheng used his Sixth Realm Qi Practitioner cultivation level to confront a Nineth Realm Swordsman who was an innate sword embryo in Mubo Alley, and his defense was flawless and he was not at a disadvantage.
Later, he painted talismans on the Bamboo Tower in Luo Lo Mountain, with thousands of characters, which caused the entire Luo Lo Mountain to sink.
In fact, these are not important.
For Chen Pingan.
Li Baoping's own safety is the most important thing.
Chen Ping'an poured another bowl of wine for Zhu Lian, "Why do you feel that if you follow me, you will never have a stable life?"
Zhu Lian drank heavily, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Master, if you had entered the Ouhua Blessed Land earlier and met the old slave in his most prosperous time, you would not have said this. Life and death have always been a matter of a snap of a finger.
.”
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "The fact that I was able to defeat Ding Ying at that time had something to do with his blind support. If I meet someone who doesn't pay attention to the style of a master like you, I will probably die."
Zhu Lian quickly finished the bowl of wine, licked his face and stretched out the wine bowl, "Young master, I should drink an extra bowl of wine as punishment."
Chen Ping'an actually poured another bowl of wine for Zhu Lian, and said with some emotion, "I hope that you and I, whether it is ten years or a hundred years, will often have the opportunity to drink together like this."
Zhu Lian grinned and said, "What's so difficult about this?"
Chen Pingan drank a lot tonight, far more than usual.
After the two separated, Chen Ping'an went to Mao Xiaodong's study and talked in detail about the refining of natal objects.
Night.
Chen Pingan walked alone.
Before lights out in the school building.
Pei Qiannan said: "Sister Baoping, I don't sleep well."
Li Baoping thought for a while, then moved the small mountain of books that occupied one bed and stacked them next to another small mountain of books.
The two of them were lying on their own bedding. Li Baoping lay down straight and said the word "sleep" and fell asleep instantly.
Pei Qian carefully tossed and turned and fell asleep very late.
When he woke up the next day, he found that he was like a rice dumpling, wrapped in a warm quilt. Pei Qian turned around and saw that Li Baoping's quilt was neatly packed, as if cut out by a knife.
When Pei Qian thought about the tofu pieces he had eaten every time he put away the bedding, he thought about it and felt a little guilty, so he fell back into a comfortable sleep. He kept his spirits up so that he could continue to fool the stupid Li Huai and others today.
Li Huai is the stupider guy of the two.
As for the arm-wrestling match with Li Baoping, Pei Qian thought that he would wait until he is as old as Li Baoping. Anyway, since he is young, it would not be embarrassing to lose to Li Baoping.
Next year he will be twelve years old and Li Baoping will be thirteen years old. Naturally, he will still be one year older than her. Pei Qian doesn't care. Next year comes next year. There are so many next years, which is pretty good.
Li Baoping went to find Chen Pingan early in the morning after getting up. There was no one in the guest house, so he rushed to the courtyard of Master Maoshan.
Wait at the door.
As a Confucian saint who was in charge of the academy, Mao Xiaodong could have an intimate view of the academy if he wanted to, so he had no choice but to tell Chen Ping'an that Li Baoping was waiting outside.
Chen Ping'an left the study and went to take Li Baoping back to the study. On the way, he said that he could not visit the capital of the Sui Dynasty today.
After Li Baoping learned that Chen Pingan would stay in the academy for at least a few months, he was not in a hurry. He thought about going to some places he had never been to today, otherwise he would take Pei Qian with him first. However, Chen Pingan suggested that he take Pei Qian with him first.
After taking Pei Qian to visit the academy, he took Pei Qian to see the famous places in Donghua Mountain such as Confucius Hall, Library and Bird Pavilion. Li Baoping thought it was okay, and before he could reach the study, Feng Fenghuo ran away, saying that it was
I want to have breakfast with Pei Qian.
Mao Xiaodong smiled and said: "You have to worry about being assassinated when you go out, but you can't bear to let Li Baoping down. Don't you think it's troublesome?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said, "I'm very hesitant."
Mao Xiaodong asked: "Don't ask me, do I know which powerful people in the Sui Dynasty are planning this matter?"
Chen Pingan shook his head, "Even this academy is still the land of the Sui Dynasty."
"The most important thing now is your refining."
Mao Xiaodong waved his hand, "Cui Dongshan is full of shit, but there is something he said that is still human. The place where our academy is founded, wealth, life, and knowledge and skills are all in one line."
Mao Xiaodong stood up and walked slowly, "Buddhists say that if you let go of your attachments, you will no longer suffer from all kinds of suffering in this life. It is a great freedom. Taoism pursues purity, and suffering is like a flying boat flying through the void, avoiding the human world as early as possible.
, is a kind of true freedom. Only we Confucians can face difficulties and face difficulties. People in the world are suffering in this life and cannot escape. The books of sages and sages are like lanterns guiding people.
Chen Ping'an couldn't help but said softly: "Even if there are thousands of people, I will go."
Mao Xiaodong stopped and thought deeply, exclaiming: "This is exactly the truth!"
In just two hours, Li Baoping took Pei Qian to complete a trip to the academy. If he hadn't patiently explained to Pei Qian, Li Baoping could have solved it in an hour.
In the end, Li Baoping also took Pei Qian to the towering tree on the top of Dongshan Mountain. He climbed the branches one after another and took Pei Qian to look into the distance. Then he stretched out his fingers and told Pei Qian what was there in the capital city of the Sui Dynasty.
There are so many interesting and delicious things in her family, and her grandeur is like...the whole capital is her courtyard.
Pei Qian took a peek at Li Baoping.
You can imagine the scene of Sister Aquarius, wearing a red skirt or red cotton jacket, standing here all these years, waiting for her junior uncle.
The two of them sat on a branch. Li Baoping took out a red handkerchief and opened it to find two soft and glutinous pastries, each of them nibbling one at a time.
Pei Qian said she could go shopping by herself in the afternoon.
Li Baoping nodded in agreement and said that in the afternoon, there was an old master from outside the academy who had a great reputation and was said to have an even louder tone. He wanted to come to the academy to give a lecture. He was a lecturer on a certain Confucian classic. Since my uncle is busy today, there is no need to go.
While wandering around the capital, she wanted to hear whether the old master from the far south was really that knowledgeable.
Pei Qian, who didn't even know what exegesis was, asked timidly: "Sister Aquarius, do you understand?"
Li Baoping nodded and shook his head and said: "In fact, the books I copied are all about it, but I have a lot of questions that I can't figure out. The gentlemen in the academy either advised me not to aim too high, saying that Li Changying from the academy came to ask questions, so it's not enough.
It was said to me, but I didn’t understand it, but I didn’t quite understand it. I didn’t even say it, so how do you know I didn’t understand it? Forget it, they are Masters, I can’t say it like that. I can only hold back these words.
I'm rolling in my stomach. Or there are some masters who think about the left and right. Anyway, they are not like Mr. Qi, who can always give me an answer every time. Nor are they like the little uncle, who knows and says, no.
Yes, even if you tell me bluntly, he doesn’t understand. So I like to go outside the academy often. You may not know that in our academy, the earliest masters of the mountain taught me, Li Huai and Lin Shouyi.
Mr. Qi, he said that all learning still falls into the word "Xing". How do you interpret the word "Xing"? It has two meanings. One is to travel thousands of miles to increase knowledge, and the other is to integrate and master what you have learned to cultivate yourself.
The family governs the country and the world is peaceful. I am still young now, so I can only run around more."
When talking about this, Pei Qian found that Li Baoping frowned a little.
Pei Qian sincerely sighed: "Sister Baoping, you think so much."
When Li Baoping saw that Pei Qian hadn't finished the piece of cake yet, like a little mouse gnawing corn, he laughed and patted Pei Qian on the shoulder, "Young uncle, you have so many things to think about."
Li Baoping shook his feet and said seriously: "Cui Dongshan once said that one day, my junior uncle will meet his favorite girl. I can only rank second in my junior uncle's heart.
Maybe one day in the future I will meet someone I like more, and my junior uncle will be second in my heart. I think Cui Dongshan is talking nonsense. I don’t mind if my junior uncle has a girl he likes, but I
How can you like someone more than your junior uncle, right, Pei Qian?"
Pei Qian nodded quickly.
Li Baoping was very satisfied with Pei Qian's attitude. He patted her on the shoulder and said earnestly: "In the future, I will travel with my little master uncle. You must keep up your efforts and be more sensible. It's okay to be naughty, but don't always be naughty. Let my little master
Uncle, you have worked hard, my little uncle, your master did not fall from the sky. My little uncle will also have troubles, and there are sad things that need to drink to drown sorrows, so you have to be more sensible, can you do it? You
Seeing that my junior uncle didn’t even drink alcohol back then, but now he does, it means that you, the founding disciple, have not done enough, right?”
Pei Qian still nodded, sincerely convinced.
Regarding the small silver gourd and the narrow knife auspicious talisman lent to him, Li Baoping said what his master Chen Ping'an and Zhong Kui said at the time, and the general meaning was exactly the same.
At that moment, Pei Qian admitted that there was a reason for Li Baoping to call Chen Ping'an his junior uncle.
The two of them slipped down the big tree one after another.
Li Baoping was going to listen to the foreign master's lecture, so he rushed away. Among a group of old masters and young college students, Li Baoping was undoubtedly the youngest, and his bright red color was extremely eye-catching.
Pei Qian stepped on the point where Li Huai and the others finished class and went to their school building.
The three of them are still walking together.
Liu Guan asked: "Ma Lian, tell me, if someone in your family is an official and gets an imperial edict, is it really like what Pei Qian said, that there is so much emphasis on decoration?"
Ma Lian nodded vigorously, "There are some minor discrepancies, but in general it is exactly what she said."
"And Pei Qian said that the bed she slept on when she was a child was really that big and could hold so many messy things?"
Ma Lian still nodded, "Yes, my sister has one!"
Liu Guan said helplessly: "Well, you are indeed a noble princess! Then how should we salute next time we meet? Is it enough to give her a big bow? You can't kneel down and kowtow, right?"
Ma Lian looked puzzled: "His Majesty the Emperor and the prince and princess have visited my home, but I was too young at that time and have no memory at all."
Li Huai said happily: "What's wrong with your highness the princess? She's not Chen Ping'an's apprentice yet. It's okay. When you meet her, just like me, we all treat her as if we were meeting each other, and treat her as equals. We hold hands as a courtesy."
Liu Jian nodded and said: "That's good. Anyway, she said she is a Jianghu person, so we don't have to lose our status."
I saw Pei Qian at the door.
The three of them cupped their hands together.
Pei Qian raised his eyebrows and returned the gesture with fists.
Entered the school building.
Pei Qian soon began to vividly describe a conflict between the rivers and lakes to the three of them.
A group of desperate thieves sprang out from both sides of the grass. Dozens of burly men, armed with swords, guns, clubs, and eighteen kinds of weapons.
The leader, holding a large Xuanhua ax, raised his arm and pointed the ax blade directly at my master, and shouted loudly, with a voice as loud as a thunderbolt from the blue, "I opened this road. If you want to pass on from now on, leave the money that will buy you your life!" If you put yourself in his shoes!
, asking you if you are afraid?!
Ma Lian nodded.
Liu Guan chuckled and said: "Anyway, you are protected by your master. They are just mountain bandits and thieves. What are you afraid of?"
Pei Qian crossed his hands on his chest and rolled his eyes at Liu Guan, "My master asked, so what if you don't pay? You don't know what a heroic demeanor my master was at that time. Even if the mountain wind blew, my master would not move.
Step by step, you already have the grandmaster style of "taking the heads of generals with thousands of troops as if they were picking out objects from a bag". Looking at the huge number of bandits, they are simply... These juniors are just like chickens and dogs, trying to sell Seoul with a price tag!"
Pei Qian couldn't help but admire himself. Those romance novels about battlefields and rivers and lakes were really not in vain, and they came in handy now.
Liu Guan said impatiently: "We have heard a lot about how powerful your master is. His boxing skills are unparalleled and his swordsmanship is invincible. He is a swordsman and a martial arts master. I know it all. I want to know how the situation will develop next? Yes
Not a bloody battle?"
Pei Qian glared and said: "Do you think the world of Jianghu is only about reckless and vulgar fighting and killing? People in Jianghu, whether they are green forest heroes or Liang Junzi, regardless of their level of cultivation, are all living people! And no one is stupid!"
Liu Guan was scolded, but for the first time he did not talk back.
Pei Qian jumped off the stool and walked to the side. "The leader of the bandit was furious. He picked up a huge ax weighing seventy or eighty kilograms. He became angry and asked my master, 'Boy, are you tired of living? Yes?'
Don’t you want to live anymore?’”
Pei Qian jogged for a few steps, turned around and said, "I just heard my master Yun Danfeng say one word. Think about it. The situation suddenly changed, and the group of thieves made a lot of noise and became fierce."
Liu Guan and Ma Lian listened attentively.
Li Huai was eating melon seeds.
He and Chen Ping'an have seen the world, and they have even dealt with ghosts of married women. He, Li Huai, still doesn't look down on a group of small bandits.
Pei Qian ran forward again, pretending to have a ferocious expression on his face, turned around and said, "Just listen to that guy saying sternly, good boy, do you know how to write the word "death"?!"
Pei Qian ran back the same way and said, "My master said two more words, I know."
Then Pei Qian immediately used his finger as a pen and wrote the word "death" in the air. He turned to the three of them and said, "I did such an action at that time. How about it?"
Ma Lian's eyes were dull.
Liu Guan clapped his hands and applauded.
Pei Qian walked to the table. Ma Lian had prepared tea before. She took a sip, moistened her throat, and continued: "The gang of thieves were so angry that they screamed and beat their chests and feet like drums on the battlefield. The leader
The man roared to the sky, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and he gave orders to the minions, "Brothers, copycats, kill this guy who likes to pretend! Especially the little girl with the wrong sword on her waist."
, Don’t look at her young age, but she is a seasoned veteran. Her cultivation is profound and unpredictable and should not be underestimated...'"
Pei Qian suddenly stopped "storytelling".
It turned out that a big warm hand was pressing on my head.
Pei Qian turned his head and smiled bitterly, "Master, you are here. I am talking to Li Huai and the others..."
Pei Qian wanted to honestly admit that he was talking nonsense.
Unexpectedly, Chen Ping'an had already smiled and said: "Okay, Li Huai and the others are still academy students. Don't talk too much about these Jianghu affairs. If possible, you will become friends in the future and you can study together in Li Huai, Liu Guan and Ma Lian in the school."
When the time comes, you can travel and learn with them together, and then talk to the three of them in detail."
Pei Qian hummed heavily, happily.
Chen Pingan asked Li Huai to have dinner with his friends first and then go back to the guest house to find him. Chen Pingan took Pei Qian to find Li Baoping.
On the road, Chen Pingan reminded in a low voice: "If you really have the opportunity to study with Li Huai and the others in the future, remember one thing. At that time, how much martial arts training you have and how many rivers and lakes you have traveled, you must be with them.
Make it clear, you can’t just brag about yourself, take over everything, and mislead them into the so-called Jianghu, but if you do this, things will easily happen, remember?"
Pei Qian nodded and said, "Remember!"
Chen Ping'an said seriously: "Be careful."
Pei Qian grinned and said, "I will carve the bamboo slips every word when I look back!"
Chen Ping'an was walking on a secluded academy path, feeling something in his heart, and said softly: "Why do you want to travel around the world? It's not just about chasing those beautiful scenery. It's not just about practicing boxing and martial arts to make yourself stronger. You also want to see more.
See yourself as a better Jianghu person."
"Like Master, I saw the hungry Zhang Shanfeng on the Dajiu Mountain ferry, Xu Yuanxia rushing into the ghost house with a chivalrous spirit, the old swordsman of Shushui Kingdom who appeared in the dilapidated ancient temple, the pair of seemingly terrifying but yet terrifying
The ghostly couple who love each other, Fan Er from the old Dragon City, Liu Youzhou from the ape-torn mansion hanging upside down on the mountain... Master will also feel ashamed, admired and envied in this way, and even occasionally a little jealous."
Pei Qian was surprised and said: "Master, will you still do this?"
Chen Pingan rubbed his little head and said, "What do you think? Master also has emotions and desires, and also has many bad habits. There are always many people who don't like or think well of Master. But when you see better people, you can't just look at them in vain.
We must look up to the high mountains, even if we cannot reach them, our hearts will be longing for them..."
Pei Qian walked slower and slower.
After Chen Ping'an walked more than ten steps, he turned his head and saw the little black girl standing there without moving, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"
Pei Qian laughed and said, "Sister Baoping, she said that her little uncle didn't fall from the sky, but I think the master did fall from the sky back then."
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "If you have the ability, tell your sister Baoping?"
Pei Qian quickly ran towards Chen Pingan, "I'm not stupid!"
I was looking at Master's back earlier.
Pei Qian suddenly felt a little sentimental.
Hiking through mountains and rivers, a long journey.
They once saw a lot of falling stones on a muddy mountain road in the heavy rain.
Pei Qian thought he could go around it.
But Master would stop when it rained heavily and move stones away from the road.
Under the dark rain curtain, the master dressed in white was busy.
They also stopped by a long-maintained wooden bridge on the Tea Horse Road. The master looked at the wooden bridge there for a long time, then ran to the mountains alone, chopped down the big wood, carried it back, chopped it into pieces, and lost the hatchet.
Replace it with a hammer, ding-ding-dong-dong, and mend the bridge.
