It's strange that Mao Xiaodong has obviously left, but the main hall of the Confucian Temple is not only still not open to the public, but has a sense of martial law.
In the back hall, in addition to Yuan Gaofeng and other Confucian temple gods who appeared in golden bodies, there were also two groups of distinguished guests and rare guests.
The Sui Emperor left the palace incognito. Standing beside him was a white-haired eunuch wearing a red python suit.
There were also two men. The old man had gray hair and was still very imposing among the human monarchs and the saints of the Confucian Temple. There was also a relatively young and elegant man. Perhaps he thought he was not qualified enough to participate in secret affairs, so he went to the front.
The temple pays homage to the statues of the seventy-two sages.
The old man was not from Aquarius Island. He called himself Lin Shuangjiang. He only spoke the elegant dialect of Aquarius Island and the Mandarin of Sui Dynasty.
Lin Shuangjiang is probably a pseudonym. This is not important. What is important is that after the old man appeared in the capital city of the Sui Dynasty, his magic skills were so powerful that the eunuch in python suit behind the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty joined forces with a palace minister and tried his best, but there was no way to hurt him.
Not even the elderly.
Lin Shuangjiang glanced at Yuan Gaofeng and the other two literary gods who appeared together to talk to Mao Xiaodong, and looked unhappy.
Looking away, some gods who were the founding Confucian generals, as well as gods who were civil servants in the history of the Sui Dynasty, but established the country and expanded the territory. These two groups of gods naturally gathered together, like a temple on the top of a mountain, with Yuan Gaofeng
In the camp with only a few people over there, there was an indistinct boundary. Lin Shuangjiang’s last gaze fell on the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, “Your Majesty, the hearts of the soldiers and the people of the Sui Dynasty can be used. There are literary daring in the temples, military daring on the battlefield, and the general trend
So, do you still have to endure the humiliation and bear the burden? If it is said that when the mountain alliance was signed, the Great Sui Dynasty was indeed unable to stop the Great Li cavalry and could not escape the fate of destroying the country. But now that the situation has changed drastically, does your Majesty still need to live in an ignoble way? "
Lin Shuangjiang sneered and said: "Do you want me, a foreigner, to tell your Majesty how many officials there have been in the capital who have resigned from their posts during the Sui Dynasty, and how many scholars have gone to the mountains and forests to escape Zen? How many people have there been in the Sui Dynasty?
From the capital to the local areas, do you need to talk about how serious the decline in the fortunes of martial temples in various places is? It is said to be a century-old covenant. Your Majesty exchanged the infamy of one person in history for a century of peace for the people of the Sui Dynasty. But Your Majesty is really sure that even if the Great Li
The barbarians of the Song clan really abide by their promise and do not use any soldiers against the Sui Dynasty, but you, the Sui Dynasty, can really sustain it for a hundred years? Then they look at the sky, waiting for pie to fall from the sky, and the Song clan of Dali will destroy themselves, and then
Is it up to you, Geyang Gao family, to pick the fruits?"
Lin Shuangjiang's face was cold, "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. What kind of virtue is the Song family of Da Li? Your Majesty must know. Now the vassal king Song Changjing supervises the country and Wufu is in power. At that time, Emperor Da Li even connected the five mountains that were closely related to the Gao family.
Even the righteous gods can calculate and revoke all titles. Will the mountain alliance between Donghua Mountain and Dali Beiyun Mountain in the Sui Dynasty really work? I dare to say that it will not take fifty years, at most thirty years, even if the Dali Iron Cavalry is blocked in
The Zhu Ying Dynasty, but the successor to the throne of Da Li and the embroidered tiger, successfully digested the entire northern part of Aquarius Continent. Thirty years later, the Sui Dynasty went from common people to border troops, to subordinates and minor officials, and finally to the court.
All important ministers will regard the Great Li Dynasty as their dream home."
Lin Shuangjiang said sternly: "When the people of the Sui Dynasty regarded foreign lands as better than their hometown from the bottom of their hearts, how could you, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty who had single-handedly caused such a disaster, have the face to meet the members of the Geyang Gao family?
Ancestors?"
Yuan Gaofeng shouted angrily: "Lin Shuangjiang, you are so presumptuous! We, the Sui Dynasty, cannot tolerate your nonsense here!"
An official of the Sui Dynasty, who made Huang Tingguo a vassal state by formulating national policies, said softly: "Your Majesty, think twice."
Lin Shuangjiang stopped talking.
The technique of 捭昖 means opening, which means speaking; closing means closing, which means silence.
The blank space after speaking, those who do not speak directly, show more skill and can confuse people's hearts.
While there was silence in the back hall, in the front hall, a man in a long gown with a handsome and youthful face, like Chen Pingan, looked at the statues of the seventy-two sages.
The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty finally spoke: "It was only after Song Zhengchun died that the two gentlemen came to visit today, right?"
Lin Shuangjiang nodded and admitted.
The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty pointed at himself and said with a smile: "Then what if I am beaten to death by a ten-level warrior one day, or stabbed to death by a flying sword of the Mohist ranger named Xu Ruo?"
The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty pointed to the top of his head, and then pointed to the front hall behind him, "If Xu Ruo kills the king indiscriminately, Xu Ruo, as a cultivator, will most likely be punished by a certain saint over there. Xu Ruo is
An important figure in the Mohist family. The imitation Bai Yujing that a branch of the Mohist family helped build was destroyed. The main line of the Mohist family in China changed its mind and made a bet on the Dali Song family. Xu Ruo is most likely a key figure, so Xu Ruo may not be willing.
The Mohist family would be at a huge loss if they took action and 'double' with me. But if Li Er kills me, a pure martial artist, it seems that according to the rules of your mountain, the Confucian saints will not care."
Lin Shuangjiang said calmly: "That Li Er, as long as he has not reached the 'godly' level among the ten warriors, I can prevent him from even entering the capital city of Sui Dynasty. The premise is that your Confucian Temple is willing to cooperate with me and activate the city defense."
Great formation."
Even so, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty was still not persuaded and continued to ask: "If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid that the thieves will miss you. Will you be able to guard against thieves for a thousand days? Doesn't Mr. Lin want to stay in the Sui Dynasty all the time?"
"
Lin Shuangjiang frowned.
At this moment, a warm voice sounded in everyone's mind, "If Li Er dares to come to the capital of Sui Dynasty to kill people, I will be responsible for going out of the city to kill him. I can only guarantee this one thing, and I will not do anything else."
Intervene.”
Yuan Gaofeng sneered and said: "Well, the qi practitioners of the Middle Earth Divine Continent are very powerful. Killing a ten-level warrior is like a child squeezing a chicken to death."
Lin Shuangjiang didn't say much, and said solemnly: "If Mr. Fan can say it, he can do it."
The Sui Emperor smiled and said: "Seriously?"
The man in the front hall smiled and replied: "Businessmen have been handed down from generation to generation, and integrity is the foundation of their lives."
Li Huai followed Pei Qian's instructions in playing backgammon and lost miserably.
After admitting defeat, he was so angry that he wiped the chessboard densely packed with chess pieces with both hands, "I won't play anymore. It's boring. This chess game makes me dizzy and hungry."
Listen to the crisp sound of the chess pieces colliding with each other.
Xie Xie, who was practicing at one end of the green bamboo floor corridor, his eyelashes trembled slightly and he was a little uneasy. He had to open his eyes and turned his head to glance over there. Pei Qian and Li Huai were picking the black and white chess pieces, and threw them back to their side with a crackle.
Can.
Although the chess pot was made from the imperial kiln of the Great Sui Dynasty and was still worth dozens of taels of silver, the chess pieces, thank you for knowing how valuable they are.
If Cui Dongshan was still in this small courtyard before, Xie Xie would occasionally be dragged by Cui Dongshan to play chess with him. As soon as he made a move with a little force, he would be slapped by Cui Dongshan and spin out, hitting the wall.
He said that if she broke one of the chess pieces, it would be equivalent to making his collection "incomplete" and become incomplete and ruined. She could not afford to pay for it even with her life.
The chess pieces in the world are just made of beautiful stones for ordinary people. For rich people, they are usually made of pottery or porcelain. For the fairy family on the mountain, they are carved from special beautiful jade.
But Cui Dongshan's two jars of chess pieces have an astonishing origin. They are the "Caiyunzi" that is envied by chess players all over the world. Thousands of years ago, it was the junior brother of the lord of Baidi City and the master of Liuli Pavilion who used his unique secret technique to "drop".
"Made", with the collapse of Liuli Pavilion, the owner disappeared for thousands of years, and the special method of "Great Refining and Dropmaking" has been discontinued. There was an immortal from China who was addicted to chess and got a jar and a half
Caiyunzi, in order to make up for it, offered a chess piece, a small summer coin at a sky-high price.
Then at this moment, the glazed chess pieces in the hands of Pei Qian and Li Huai were no better than the stones on the ground.
Thank you, I sighed in my heart. Fortunately, Caiyunzi was worth the money. The young and strong man exerted all his strength and could not break the buckle, but the sound of the pan became more and more powerful.
Li Huai didn't want to play Renju, so Pei Qian suggested playing a country game of catching stones. Li Huai was immediately confident. He was good at this. He often played with his classmates in school. The braided boy named Shi Chunjia often played
I lost to him, and I never lost when playing catch with my sister Li Liu at home!
The two of them picked up five chess pieces from their respective chess jars. After playing a game, they found that the difficulty was too low and wanted to increase the number to ten.
Thank you. I heard those sounds that are clearer than the sound of falling. My heart trembles slightly. I just hope that Cui Dongshan will not know about this tragic incident.
From time to time, one or two colorful clouds would fly out of the back of the hand, fall on the bluestone floor of the yard, and then be picked up by two little guys who didn't take it seriously.
Thank you. I couldn't express myself calmly anymore, so I simply stood up and went to my side room to read some books.
Li Baoping walked out of the study room in the main room and squatted next to Pei Qian and Li Huai to watch the battle. Li Huai was still killed and lost his armor.
Li Baoping silently grabbed five black chess pieces from another chess jar and put the five white chess pieces back into the chess jar. On the floor, there were five black and white chess pieces each. The two people opposite Li Baoping, who were looking at each other, explained: "So
It's more interesting to play. You each choose black and white, and each time you grab a stone, for example, Pei Qian, if you choose black, after grabbing seven chess pieces, if there are two white chess pieces in it, it can only be counted as grabbing three black chess pieces."
Pei Qian timidly said: "Sister Baoping, I want to choose the white chess piece."
Li Baoping nodded, "Okay."
Li Huai said angrily: "I also want to choose white!"
Li Baoping glanced at him.
Li Huai immediately changed his words and said: "Forget it, black chess looks more pleasing to the eye."
Shi Rou's mind moved slightly.
This little girl in a red skirt always seems to have such strange ideas. Shi Rou among all the people, because Chen Ping'an is obviously partial to Li Baoping, Shi Rou observes the most and finds that this little girl's words and deeds are...
It cannot be said that she is deliberately being old-fashioned, she is actually quite innocent, but many of her ideas are actually within the rules, but also go beyond them.
Not long after Shi Rou secretly observed Li Baoping, the battle over there had ended. According to Li Baoping's rules, Li Huai lost even more miserably.
Pei Qian shook his head, weighing a few chess pieces in his hands, gently throwing them up and catching them again and again, "It's lonely, but is it so difficult to lose?"
Li Huai was scheming, his eyes were turning rapidly, and he wanted to change things to regain his place.
Pei Qian lost the chess piece, picked up the hiking pole at his feet, and jumped into the yard. "Sister Baoping, my defeated general Li Huai, let me play a trick for you. What do you mean by holding a long pole and flying across the ridge? I
Now that the magic power has not yet been fully achieved, we can only fly over the walls for the time being! Watch carefully! You must watch carefully!"
I saw Pei Qian retreating to the end of the wall on one side of the courtyard, facing the opposite wall, taking a deep breath, running away, and suddenly stabbed the hiking pole accurately into the gap between the stone slabs in the courtyard. Pei Qian's feet lifted off the ground, and the long pole bent out.
With a big arc, as the hiking pole suddenly straightened, Pei Qian jumped high, his petite body stretched in the air, stood firmly on the wall, turned around, and grinned at Li Baoping and Li Huai, "
Look!”
Li Huai was stunned and shouted: "I want to try it too!"
Pei Qian's figure jumped off the wall lightly, like a little wild cat, landing silently.
He generously threw the hiking stick to Li Huai.
Li Huai also followed Pei Qian's example and retreated to the wall. He first ran forward with quick steps, then glanced at the ground, and suddenly thrust the hiking stick into the gap between the stone slabs.
, Li Huai's body shape rose accordingly, but the final body posture and the angle of exerting force were wrong, so that Li Huai's legs were facing the sky, his head was facing the ground, and his body was tilted. After a few sighs, he fell back to the ground.
Yu Lu flew away with a gust of wind in an instant, catching Li Huai and straightening himself up.
Li Huai said boldly: "It's a pity that we fell short by just a hair."
Pei Qian sneered: "Then give you ten more chances?"
Li Huai said seriously: "Although I, Li Huai, am extremely talented and a martial arts wizard who is not seen in a thousand or eight hundred years, but I don't have this ambition, and I won't compete with you on this kind of thing.
"
Li Baoping took the hiking stick from Li Huai and came over once too.
As a result, under the eyes of everyone, this little girl in a red skirt not only succeeded, but was so successful that she flew off the wall.
There was a slight sound outside the wall.
Li Baoping, who was familiar with this kind of thing, did not get hurt. He just landed unsteadily and his knees gradually bent. After squatting on the ground, his body fell backwards and he sat on the ground.
Li Baoping stood up and seemed completely fine.
A rickety old man stood not far away with a smile, "Are you okay?"
Li Baoping smiled and said: "What can this do?"
Zhu Lian smiled and nodded.
Li Baoping ran back to the yard.
Zhu Lian, as a martial arts master in the Far Traveling Realm, had outstanding vision. Of course, he knew that Li Baoping would be fine, so he did not help.
Zhu Lian continued to walk around the courtyard.
Zhu Lian was not far away listening to Chen Pingan's conversation with Li Baoping before he left the academy, and Chen Pingan did not deliberately hide anything from him.
Zhu Lian even felt sorry for Sui Youyou that he could not hear that conversation.
The four of them had not yet parted ways before. Over at the Dust Medicine Shop in Old Dragon City, the old man surnamed Xun, who had long admired Sui Youyou's "talent as a swordsman", liked to go to the medicine shop to watch chess. Sui Youyou and Lu Bai
The elephants were playing chess in the courtyard, and the old man explained the art of swordsmanship in a few words based on the principles of chess.
Horizontally, vertically, and horizontally, the moves are in the right place.
The subtlety lies in the word "cut". This is the art of swordsmanship.
The quality of the chess shape depends on the two words of definition. Taking over the mountains to be king, separatist vassal towns, and mountains and rivers barriers are all the meaning of the sword.
After the chess game was over and the replay was resumed, Sui's right side remained indifferent. This made the old man surnamed Xun very embarrassed. He even made fun of Pei Qian for a long time, boasted, and used empty words to scare people. No wonder Sister Sui didn't appreciate it.
But that night, Sui Youyou went into seclusion to study swordsmanship. He never left the house for one day and two nights.
Now Sui Youyou has gone to Tongyezhou, to go to the Jade Guizong, who inexplicably became the leader of the Yizhou Immortal Family, to become a swordsman.
Wei Xian ran away with Cui Dongshan.
Lu Baixiang wants to travel the mountains and rivers alone.
Zhu Lian was the only one who chose to follow Chen Pingan.
Chen Ping'an took action twice in the Lion Park, once against the evil monster and once against Li Baozhen. Zhu Lian actually didn't think it was too impressive.
But it was the conversation between Chen Ping'an and Li Baoping that made Zhu Lian chew on it again and again, and he admired it from the bottom of his heart.
Li Baozhen, Li Baoping, Li Xisheng, Li Shi of Fulu Street.
The four of them are related by blood, and although Chen Ping'an is called Junior Uncle by Li Baoping, he is still an outsider.
How Chen Ping'an deals with Li Baozhen is extremely complicated. It is even more difficult to hope that no matter what the outcome is, Li Baoping's heart will not be hurt. It is almost a dead end where everything is "right" but also "wrong".
If Chen Pingan concealed this matter, or simply explained the circumstances of his encounter with Li Baozhen in the Lion Garden, Li Baoping would definitely not have any problems at the moment, and getting along with Chen Pingan would remain the same as before.
But once Chen Pingan kills Li Baozhen who is seeking his own death, even if Chen Pingan is completely reasonable and Li Baoping understands the truth, it has little to do with whether the little girl is hurt or not deep down in her heart.
This is the crux.
So there was that conversation.
Zhu Lian walked slowly and said to himself: "This is the swordsmanship of people's hearts, the cutting is extremely accurate."
What is cutting?
By not killing Li Baozhen once, Chen Ping'an kept his promise and fulfilled his promise to Li Xisheng. In essence, it was similar to abiding by the law.
He also made a "pawn" with Li Baoping and the entire Li family on Fulu Street using Li Baozhen's family ancestral belongings. This is reasonable and humane.
This separated Li Baozhen from the entire Li family in Fulu Street, just like Cui Dongshan's secret technique of using a flying sword to draw the ground as a prison to restrain Li Baozhen alone.
Li Baozhen is the Li family behind Li Baozhen, Li Baoping and Li Xisheng. It is the Li family after Li Baozhen was taken out.
Chen Pingan did a circle drawing and definition.
And quietly, he pointed out a mental path for Li Baoping, providing an open-minded possibility that "no one is wrong, and everyone can take responsibility for life or death". Looking back in the future, even if Chen Pingan and
Li Baozhen was divided into life and death. Even if Li Baoping was still sad, he would never switch from one extreme to the other.
This is what the old man named Xun calls swordsmanship.
Chen Ping'an's sword-drawing fits this perfectly.
It's a subtle tug-of-war in the human heart.
So that day, Chen Ping'an was watching chess in the backyard of the medicine shop, and he also heard the wise words of the old man named Xun. However, Zhu Lian dared to assert that even if Sui Youyou practiced sword training in seclusion for a day and two nights, no matter how talented Sui Youyou was in swordsmanship.
, may not be as good as Chen Ping'an's understanding of the true meaning.
The road under everyone's feet may be far or near, but it may also be high or low.
I still remember the two sentences Li Baoping taught Pei Qian.
Carrying a bamboo box on his back, wearing straw sandals, and punching a million punches, a handsome young man is the most calm.
Carrying an immortal sword on his back, wearing a white robe, thousands of miles away, he is the best little master uncle in the world.
Zhu Lian murmured to himself: "Xiao Baoping, your little master uncle, although he is not a sword cultivator now, the character of the sword immortal should have already taken shape, right?"
Zhu Lian suddenly stopped and looked at the end of the path leading to the courtyard, squinting.
There appeared an old Confucian scholar accompanied by a white deer.
