Chapter 428: During the autumn hunting season, please enter the urn
The autumn wind blows the crab roe and fat. Now is the best time to eat golden crabs in Chishuicheng. When it is time to eat, the whole city is filled with that unique fragrance.
There are even some old gourmets who came all the way from the Zhu Ying Dynasty to exchange glasses of wine at various Linshui mansions and restaurants with whom they have good relationships. However, few people come to Shihao Kingdom, which is closest to Shujian Lake, this year.
Enjoy this delicious food, after all, your life is almost gone.
The Shujian Lake Island Owners Association will be held in about ten days. At that time, more than a hundred island owners will board the Gongliu Island where the owner has been absent for many years to elect a king of the rivers and lakes.
Liu Zhimao, the True Lord of Qingxia Island, was naturally the highly anticipated candidate.
But here is the Shujian Lake. It was only after the pleasant banquet was over that there were more than 400 wild cultivators who joined forces to kill the Yuanying and the Golden Core Sword Cultivator.
In the past two days, news has spread from Chishuicheng that the little devil Gu is coming to the city to eat crabs. Fan Yan, the young lord of Chishuicheng, has begun to spend a lot of money to buy the most plump golden crabs in Shujian Lake, which are the rarest "bamboo branches" among golden crabs.
"It's huge in size and contains abundant water transport essence. Ordinary fishermen can't even hope to catch one in their lifetime. They can't even see it. It's a treasure that only monks in the cave realm can try their luck to catch."
Nowadays, Qingxia Island is in full swing. Liu Zhimao has stopped expanding in the past year. He is like a man who eats like crazy. When he is full, he has to slow down and digest it first. Otherwise, it may seem like a good situation, but in fact it is still a mess of unstable people.
Liu Zhimao remained sober at this point, Sansha, and screened the Shanze wild cultivators who came to Qingxia Island very strictly. The specific affairs were all taken care of by a female cultivator named Tian Hujun among his disciples.
She was Gu Can's second senior sister at first, and now she has naturally become the senior sister. The senior brother has been beaten to death by his junior brother Gu Can. The position cannot be left vacant. It is shameful and it will not be heard well if it is spread out.
Nowadays, around Gu Can, there are a large group of young monks and wealthy disciples with high status. For example, Fan Yan, the young lord of Chishui City, who is hosting a banquet to entertain "Brother Gu", is the only son of the lord of the city, and his wife dotes on him like a king.
I am not afraid of anything. I claim that I will not obey any land gods in this life, but only admire heroes.
In short, he is a brainless person.
He is almost 30 years old and still likes to call Gu Can as Brother Gu. Even Chi Shuicheng likes to treat this young city lord as a joke.
In addition, there are Qingxia Island's fourth senior brother Qin Jue and sixth senior brother Chao Zhe. They are both outstanding monks from Shujian Lake. They are talented and never show mercy when killing. They are the capable generals of Zhenjun Jiejiang in his conquests.
There is also Lu Caisang, the young junior brother of the Oriole Island owner, who is several hundred years older than the island owner's brother because he was a disciple of an ancestor before he went into retreat, so he has a very high seniority.
Before the heyday of Qingxia Island, Oriole Island was one of the few large islands that could compete with Qingxia Island. Of course, it is definitely not as powerful as Qingxia Island now.
Yuan Yuan, the young island master of Guming Island, nicknamed Yuanyuan, was born to a couple of monks from Guming Island, two golden elixir monks. The woman’s surname was Yuan, and the man’s surname was Yuan. They were an intruder, and Yuan Yuan’s mother was a shrewd
The key to the existence that is so arrogant that even Liu Zhimao has a headache is that this female cultivator is said to have a great background. In her early years, she was the beloved concubine of a Nascent Soul sword cultivator from the Zhu Ying Dynasty.
Han Jingling, the prince of Shihao Kingdom, and Huang He, the son of the general.
Gu Can, the dandy Fan Yan, Qin Jue, Chao Zhe, Lu Caisang, Yuan Yuan, Han Jingling, Huang He, plus the senior sister Tian Hujun who doesn't like to appear in public, but only Gu Can leads the way.
Except Tian Hujun, who was dragged in by Gu Can, the other eight people were of the same mind. It is said that at Gu Can's suggestion, they caught a big rooster from nowhere, made a blood alliance, and became brothers, known as the Ten Heroes of Shujian Lake.
Not talking about Shu Jian Lake, in fact, even the other eight people were murmuring, why were they declared to the outside world as the Ten Heroes when they were clearly nine people?
At that time, the little devil Gu Can was just standing on the second spot with bare feet, jumping up and down, pointing to the vacant top spot, grinning, and said that he would keep this position for now.
This Gu Can is not very old, but after arriving at Shujian Lake, his size has mushroomed like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. He has grown a lot every year. A boy in his teens is already as tall as a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old.
There are rumors that the dragon that likes to eat Qi Practitioners as food can feed the little devil Gu's body. The only assassination on Qingxia Island that was closest to success was when the assassin slashed Gu with one blow.
On the back of the little devil, if it were an ordinary person, he would definitely be killed on the spot. Even a Qi practitioner in the lower five realms would probably not be able to get out of bed after three or two years of training. However, in less than half a month, the little devil came out of the mountain again.
, and began to sit on the head of the dragon, which he called "little loach", and happily wandered around Shujian Lake.
On this day, when looking at Shujian Lake from the high-rise building in Chishui City, one could see a huge ship slowly approaching. The ship was as big as the city wall of Chishui City.
Around the building boat, apart from the water waves crushed by the hull, there were circles of tiny ripples on the lake more than a hundred feet away from the building boat, which were difficult to detect.
There is a boy who looks like a boy, wearing a well-fitting dark blue python robe, sitting barefoot on the bow railing, dangling his legs, and every once in a while, he will habitually twitch his nose, as if he has been passing by for a long time.
, is taller, but there are still two snots hanging on his face, so he has to take those two little green dragons back to the cave.
There were three people standing behind him, Senior Sister Tian Hujun. She is now in charge of the life and death of nearly ten thousand people on Qingxia Island and the vassal islands. She has already acquired a majestic aura somewhat similar to Zhenjiang Zhenjun. One on the left and one on the right, standing with her
Two junior brothers, Qin Jue and Chao Zhe.
After that, there was a row of more than a dozen beautiful girls with different styles and styles. They just went out to play and put on a pair of subtle and decent clothes.
And under the lake water around the building boat.
It is a "little loach" hundreds of feet long.
The ferry on the shore has long been occupied by Fan Yan, the young lord of Chishui City, who has expelled all the idlers, including Yuan Yuan, the young lord of Guming Island, the young master Lu Caisang, who is spoken of by a large group of white-haired old monks on Oriole Island, and Lai Lai.
Han Jingling, the prince of Shihao Kingdom, who has been taking refuge here for half a year, is chatting and laughing on the shore. The only missing person is Huang He, the son of the general of Shihao Kingdom. There is no way, Huang He is the one who holds the 60,000 elite frontier troops in the southeast of Shihao Kingdom.
I, it is said that I just stabbed the Emperor of Shihao Kingdom in the back, joined the Song family cavalry in Dali, and planned to support the prince Han Jingling as the new emperor. He was very busy, and Huang He couldn't get away, so he just asked someone to send a secret letter.
Go to Chishuicheng and ask brother Han Jingling to wait for the good news.
The outline of the Chishui City wall is getting clearer and clearer.
Tian Hujun walked to the boat rail and whispered: "Do you really want to change the route into the city and deliberately give those assassins a chance?"
The young man crossed his arms and grinned: "Otherwise, do you really think I'm here to eat crabs? It's so fucking annoying that I'm going to vomit after eating it. It's so annoying to eat. It's not as good as the fried crabs in the creek in my hometown."
It’s delicious, crunchy and crunchy in every bite, you don’t even need chopsticks, it’s just that delicious taste. You guys from Shujian Lake, you guys, don’t know any better! You have a few stinky money in your pocket, so you just mess around, look at me
Do you need to bring money? Do you need to bring a large group of followers?"
Tian Hujun smiled and said, "Junior brother is like a dragon or a phoenix among people, so it's natural that we common people can't compare."
The young man leaned back, turned his head, and said with a smile: "Senior sister, even if you say such nice things, you are not qualified to be that cardigan girl. You are too ugly, and your breasts are too small. It's really pathetic. You can just be ordinary."
The mirror, for you ordinary-looking women, is just a magic mirror."
Tian Hujun smiled awkwardly. She didn't think this was a bad thing in her heart.
There is a quiet path by the lake far away from the ferry. The willow trees are turning yellow. There is a middle-aged man standing next to a willow tree, looking at the boat on Shujian Lake in the distance. He picks off the wine gourd, lifts it up and puts it down, puts it down and lifts it up again.
do not drink.
————
As the local people in Longquan County became more and more familiar with the so-called immortals on the mountain, some people began to realize that not all doctors in the world can make people feel no pain and sleep peacefully during serious illnesses.
Ointment. Especially since people are constantly being admitted to the Longquan Sword Sect. Even among the remaining prisoners of the Lu Dynasty, two children have reached the sky in one step and become little gods on Shenxiu Mountain.
The Yang's shop was bustling with activity. The seven aunts and eight aunts all went to the drug store with their children, each with their heads sharpened, looking for gods. Old Yang, who was sitting in the backyard, was of course the most "suspected". As a result, it caused great harm to people.
The Yang family shop almost closed down, and the current head of the Yang family, who had an ancestral saying passed down from generation to generation, almost felt so guilty that he knelt down and kowtowed to old man Yang to apologize.
They are all nearby neighbors, or they are familiar faces in the town. After twists and turns, they can always make some connections. The Yang family is not among the four major surnames and the ten major families in the town. They are ordinary wealthy and well-off families.
, it’s not easy to ask the store clerk to drive someone away. Besides, unless he is ruthless, he really won’t be able to drive him away.
It really didn't work, so the drug store had to find someone to guard the door and persuade him carefully. Old Yangtou was not an old god at all, but an old man with a few secret recipes handed down from his ancestors.
Who would believe this kind of deceitful nonsense? The more this happens, the more people become suspicious, and they feel more and more that the old man Yang who likes to smoke and smoke is a reclusive master.
Fortunately, Old Man Yang didn't seem to care much about this. He didn't ask the head of the Yang family to close the shop directly. Instead, he asked the drug shop to spread the word. He knew some fortune-telling and bone-feeling skills, but every time he checked the children to see if there were any changes.
To become a god, you have to pay money, and it's not cheap. It costs a piece of snow.
After all, people in small towns are used to being poor. Even if they suddenly have access to money, they will not be the kind of people who don't treat money as cash. Some people sell iron and save money.
A thousand taels of silver. Some people borrowed money from friends who suddenly became rich by selling ancestral items. Fortunately, many people chose to wait and see. On the first day, there were not too many people who took the money to the drug store. Old Man Yang
He said a lot of fairy words that were obscured by clouds and mist. These are not important. What is important is that Old Man Yang just shook his head and did not take a fancy to anyone.
After fewer people came to the door, the drug shop began to spread the news again that they would no longer charge for snow. You only need to buy a package of medicine at Yang's shop. Everyone is a neighbor, and paying for a piece of snow is indeed a bit expensive.
.
As a result, the number of people visiting the house dropped sharply.
Yang's Pharmacy must be crazy about money.
Then some people kept going back on their word and going to Yang's shop to beg for the snowflake, throwing themselves around and doing whatever they could.
The shop is extremely resolute in this matter and won't give in even a single copper coin. Let alone a piece of snow money, even a copper coin. In this world, there is a reason to refund the money if you and I are willing to do it? Is it really the Yang family shop?
Doing good deeds?
Everyone hit a wall, but suddenly one day, a guy who was close to Yang's Shop got drunk and said that he relied on his connections to get back the fairy money, and everyone in Yang's Shop said that
Old Man Yang is actually a liar who copied a shabby book on physiognomy. Even the rumors at the beginning were deliberately spread by the Yang family store in order to make money for the drug store.
The nest was blown up.
Overnight, the reputation of Yang's shop became infamous. All the Yang family's children, like rats crossing the street, complained endlessly and asked the head of the Yang family to let the old guy who dared to pretend to be a ghost without the ability to pack up his clothes and get out of the medicine shop.
The head of the Yang family kept his mouth shut and finally managed to appease everyone in the family.
After that, the drug store was finally clean.
It is estimated that no one at the drug store or Mr. Yang was willing to ask people to touch their bones and read their faces, and they didn't bother to do anything unless they paid for it, unless the money was enough.
So much so that the drug store replaced two clerks, one was a kiln worker girl from Qilong Lane, and the other was a kid from Taoye Lane, and no one cared about them anymore.
These nonsense things are for laymen to watch, while for experts to watch the door, for those who are destined, they will watch the road.
A small town man who disappeared for several years reappeared, Zheng Dafeng, the gatekeeper. In addition to becoming a hunchback, he neither brought back a wife nor brought back some money from other places. Although Zheng Dafeng was not a shop assistant,
During this period, he often sat on a bench at the door of the drug store, not blocking anyone, just watching the fun, still looking like a fool, with a sly look in his eyes, and kept pressing on the woman's breasts and buttocks, which made the little girl more and more angry.
The ladies of the town looked down upon him.
After Zheng Dafeng returned to the town, in addition to seeing this farce, he also saw many people who had made a fortune, stayed up all night, gathered people to gamble, and hung out in the newly built brothels every day. They went in with their heads held high and their legs were a little weak.
come out,
There are also men and old bachelors who have too much money in their pockets to count, and whose waists are harder than that old locust tree. They used to walk on Fulu Street and Taoye Alley and dare not take a breath.
I have the guts to start drinking with the stewards and discuss the possibility of buying one or two good-looking maids and maids, preferably women who can read and read, even better. If they are young girls, then it is best.
In the past, I never dreamed of being able to have a woman with a scholarly scent on the bed. In this life, it is not a loss! In the past, a bag of copper coins was the uncle, but now the money is our grandson, money and so on,
What a fart!
Money is like running water, flowing through the hands of different people.
People's hearts are the same.
After autumn, Zheng Dafeng felt a little sad.
Basking in the warm autumn sun, Zheng Dafeng lowered his head and glanced at his crotch, feeling even more sad. He always felt sorry for his little brother. Could it be that he really had to transform from a handsome young bachelor to an old bachelor?
Unexpectedly, he thought that the woman who called herself Jiang on the street outside Chenchen Pharmacy probably weighed twice as much as Zheng Dafeng. Zheng Dafeng was startled. She is a good girl, but there are some things that cannot be dealt with by turning off the lights.
Yes, for such a big girl, no matter how good-natured she is and no matter how willing she is to be friends, Zheng Dafeng would rather mistreat his little brother than himself!
Just when Zheng Dafeng was feeling guilty about his thoughts and about Miss Jiang, today Ruan Qiong suddenly appeared in the backyard of the medicine shop. For the first time, Old Man Yang did not smoke dry cigarettes. He was taking a nap in the sun with his eyelids open.
He glanced at Ruan Qiong and said, "Rare guest."
Ruan Qiong carried two bottles of wine and raised his arms.
Old Man Yang shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't like this one."
Ruan Qiong moved a bench and sat across from the main house, separated from Old Man Yang by a courtyard.
Old Man Yang asked: "It's rare that Saint Ruan is restless. Why are you worried about Ruan Xiu?"
Ruan Qiong nodded.
Old Man Yang rarely joked, "Is it that difficult to accept Chen Ping'an as your son-in-law?"
Ruan Qiong took a sip of wine and said, "Chen Pingan is not a bad person. Although I don't want to accept him as a disciple, I must recognize Chen Pingan's character. If Ruan Xiu is not Ruan Xiu, but an ordinary girl, then she will
I went with her. Maybe... I will often have a drink with this son-in-law, which is not a bad idea. And I don't have to worry about my daughter being wronged. I am only worried that my daughter will be too overbearing and my son-in-law will run away. But I
My daughter is Xiuxiu."
Old Man Yang nodded, "Things are great, but there are worries. I can understand."
Ruan Qiong drank a veritable cup of sorrowful wine. After taking a big gulp of wine, he wiped his mouth and said gloomily: "Because the old god-lord had talked about it before, I can guess a little bit about Cui Han's general plan this time.
, it’s just that I can’t guess the specific sinister intentions, the interlocking and elaborate settings. This is not my strong point, and I don’t bother to think about it. However, when it comes to spiritual practice, the most taboo is to be sloppy. My family Xiuxiu
, if it gets deeper and deeper, something will happen sooner or later, so I sent Xiuxiu to Shujian Lake this time."
Old Man Yang said: "If you are willing to give in, Cui Chan, a very smart person, will definitely return the favor, don't worry. He will do things beautifully and seamlessly, at least it will not be counterproductive."
Having said this, Old Man Yang smiled slightly and seemed to remember something
, "Returning a peach to a plum, the plum replaces the peach stiffness, well, it is a bit chewy. As for chewing it, it tastes like Coptis chinensis or sugar water, it depends on the person."
Ruan Qiong also doesn't bother with such riddles. Let alone him, I am afraid that except for Qi Jingchun, all the three sects who sit in Lizhu Cave will not be able to guess what this old god is thinking and planning.
What I want is that Ruan Qiong never engages in unnecessary competition. He is already busy enough in making iron and swords during his good days. He also has to worry about Xiuxiu's future. How can he have so much free time to fight with others.
Old Man Yang just said it casually and returned to the topic, "If you want to make a break, you can use Gu Can from Mu Bottle Alley and the unknown plan of the embroidered tiger to create a gap between Ruan Xiu and Chen Ping'an.
The more transparent the two people's minds are, the more they like to get into trouble. When they are stubborn, flaws as big as sesame seeds will become bigger than the sky. So I didn't stop Ruan Xiu from leaving Longquan County. This is also the common behavior of you, Ruan Qiong, as a father.
"
Ruan Qiong sighed for no reason, "This Cui Chan is really amazing."
He, Ruan Qiong, hoped that his daughter Ruan Xiu would no longer be entangled in matters of love between men and women, and could practice cultivation with peace of mind. She could reach the upper five realms as soon as possible, and at least have the power to protect herself first.
If you want to sleep, someone will hand you a pillow.
Ruan Qiong had no contact with Cui Chan, and Cui Chan didn't even hint at anything.
Ruan Qiong volunteered to join the chessboard and became one of the chess pieces on Cui Chan's chessboard together with his daughter Ruan Qiong.
This is Cui Chan's precise calculation and correct prediction in people's hearts. This is the chess ability of a national player outside the chessboard.
Old Man Yang smiled and said: "Don't think that the first disciple of the literary saint in the past is not a root. Half of the rules of the three-fourth war that determined the cultural trend of the entire Haoran world were set by Cui Chan. What do you think?
Could it be awesome? But at that time, Cui Han was already frightened and a little guilty. It was very hard to hide here and there, not daring to show up for life and death, so he lost the last chance to mend the relationship between master and disciple. Of course, this
Maybe it’s an invisible protection given by Wen Sheng to Cui Han. You see, my eldest disciple has deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors. He is even more like a lost dog than the sage master back then. You, the sub-sage lineage, have the nerve to treat him.
Are you pestering us endlessly? Aren’t you yourselves clamoring for compassion? Then treat Cui Han as a fart. So Cui Han ran to our Aquarius Island safe and sound. Ruan Qiong, don’t look at me like this.
, this kind of rogue thing can be done by a literary saint. So there are so many people who accompany the saints, I only think this gentleman is more pleasing to my eyes."
Ruan Qiong twitched the corners of his lips, "A scholar's twisted intestines are probably more winding than all the mountains in the world."
Old Man Yang chuckled and said: "In addition, the Taoist Qingming World, the Buddhist Lotus World, and the demon tribe's Barbaric World are all incomparable."
This was the first time Ruan Qiong felt that drinking and chatting with this old god was much better than he imagined. He could come here more often in the future? Anyway, the female student didn’t want to stay in college. Even if she stayed by her side, she wouldn’t trust him as her father.
Every time he thought about this, Ruan Qiong wished he could open a wine shop in a small town, so that he would not have to go to that shop to buy wine and have to make fun of a market woman every time.
After Ruan Qiong left, Zheng Dafeng walked into the backyard.
As an apprentice, of course the first thing Zheng Dafeng did when he returned to the town was to visit his master.
That meeting was the first time in his life that Zheng Dafeng dared to look at Old Man Yang and calmly said some treacherous words. For example, even if he had no future in this life, he would either continue to make a living at the inn or work for Chen Ping'an.
In Luolu Mountain, he continued to be a gatekeeper, and Zheng Dafeng didn't feel any shame. He was safe and sound, which was pretty good.
Old Yang was just puffing away his words, neither saying good things nor cursing.
After Zheng Dafeng finished speaking his mind, he left the backyard of the drug store. Although he still felt a little guilty, his heart felt relaxed as he had never felt before.
Then he felt a little ridiculous. Even though he was an eighth-level martial artist in the past, he didn't dare to talk to his master like this. Every time he spoke, his master never spoke more than ten words. Zheng Dafeng was afraid that his master would mistakenly think that he was a broken man.
I looked down on him even more. Just thinking about it, Zheng Dafeng thought it would be better to stay in the small town and come to the drug store every now and then to look for the old man, regardless of whether the old man would be annoyed when he saw him.
Zheng Dafeng entered the backyard and sat on the bench without saying anything. He planned to just sit with his master for a while and then leave.
Although he had been holding back his words, Zheng Dafeng knew his master's temper very well. As long as he made a decision, no one in the world, let alone Li Er, could change his master's mind.
Old man Yang smoked a dry cigarette, blew out a smoke ring, and said slowly: "Didn't I bring a cigarette stick with me when I went home? Why did I throw it away? Isn't it shameful?"
Zheng Dafeng was struck by lightning and was so burnt on the outside that he was tender on the inside. The first thing he did was to break his fingers and said in surprise: "Master, you said twenty-two words in one breath today!"
Old Man Yang asked: "A disciple who doesn't dare to look at his master when he sees him is worthy of being a master. How many words can you say? Were you worthy back then?"
Zheng Dafeng sat upright, "It is the disciple who has let the master down."
Old Man Yang's next words were as harsh and harsh as ever, "If you don't have hope, how can you be disappointed?"
Eight words.
This was the most normal conversation between master and disciple before Zheng Dafeng left his hometown.
Zheng Dafeng didn't feel aggrieved, he was quite happy. Adding these eight words, Master has already spoken thirty words today. When he sees Li Er in the future, he must brag about it!
Old Yang stretched out his hand and threw it away. It was the cigarette rod that Zheng Dafeng had secretly left outside the town. Zheng Dafeng took it in his hand and found that it was even filled with tobacco.
Old Man Yang said: "I just want to ask you one thing, do other people deserve to be plotted by Cui Han like this?"
Zheng Dafeng sighed, rubbed his fingers casually, and lit the tobacco. He still has this ability now.
Old Man Yang said: "If Chen Pingan had not been shattered, he would have had the qualifications of an Earth Immortal, good or bad, just not top-notch. Now Chen Pingan's heart has been broken, and his future as a Qi practitioner has been ruined.
If you have martial arts, you can go all the way, but the worst thing is that you will be completely disheartened and become a lost rich man in Luolu Mountain who lives a stable life. What's wrong with that?"
Both the master and the disciple were puffing away, and Zheng Dafeng suddenly said: "This is not good."
Old Man Yang sneered: "Oh?"
Zheng Dafeng raised his head and mustered up the courage to say: "He is Chen Pingan!"
Old Man Yang knocked on the cigarette rod on the steps and said casually: "The real key to choosing Chen Ping'an was Qi Jingchun's words, which moved that existence and chose to gamble on that one. Do you really think it is?"
Chen Pingan’s qualifications, temperament, talent and circumstances?”
Zheng Dafeng responded tit for tat, "Would Qi Jingchun choose Ma Kuxuan or Xie Jiameier to convince that existence? I think Qi Jingchun is embarrassed to say this! So according to Chen Pingan's theory, he wants to find out a result
How to go back step by step, Qi Jingchun's words are of course crucial, but can Chen Ping'an's qualifications, temperament, talent and circumstances be ignored? When I went out, I became more aware of the world outside.
It turns out that they believe in suffering in the world more than the people in the small town. As long as someone is rewarded, it is no longer suffering. Those long sufferings in suffering, the ups and downs of people's hearts, it turns out that they can't compare to a realm in their eyes.
A magic weapon, a flying sword, and an opportunity."
Old Man Yang smiled, with cold eyes, "Are these fools worthy of being talked about by you and me? A group of ants are fighting for the crumbs of food. How do you talk to them? Lie on the ground and talk to them? Look.
When I come to you for this long trip, I really feel more alive and come back."
Zheng Dafeng smiled playfully and quickly changed the subject, "Master has staked a lot on Chen Ping'an, so you don't worry about losing all your money?"
Old Man Yang shook his head and said: "You have poor vision and you have lost money in business, so don't blame heaven and earth."
Zheng Dafeng sighed.
I have already exhausted all my benevolence and righteousness, and if I continue to nag about Chen Ping'an, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive.
Old Man Yang glanced at the rickety man who was in a daze, and revealed the secret in one sentence, "What Cui Chan wants, and the knowledge he has in the dark, has given me some good things, which has benefited me a lot. I used to rack my brains,
After more than nine thousand years of thinking, I still haven't been able to solve the problem. I've thought a lot, but with little success. I might as well have chatted with Cui Chan twice, which would have been more beneficial. I have to return this extra gain to Cui Chan."
"So even if the little thing I bet on Chen Ping'an loses everything, it still doesn't matter much."
Zheng Dafeng asked: "Master, I'm very curious. Among the many disciples you have accepted, is there anyone who makes you particularly happy or particularly sad? For example, senior brother Li Er is expected to become one of the ten realms of 'God'. Master will
Wouldn’t you be more satisfied?”
Old Man Yang shook his head and said, "No."
Zheng Dafeng pointed at himself and smiled, "What about me? My disciples are so miserable, so I don't feel sad at all."
Old Man Yang could only laugh.
Zheng Dafeng's eyes were filled with sadness, "Master, although I have been prepared for this for a long time, I really know the answer, but my disciple is still a little sad."
Old Man Yang was too lazy to talk nonsense with this disciple, and suddenly said: "In order to live, and to live better after living, we have to compete with the world, childish ignorance, young blood, ordinary man's courage, rivers and lakes chivalry, scholarly spirit, general loyalty, hero gambling, this can be
Go forward courageously and with a clear conscience. But someone insists on trying to mess with you. How do you untie the knot that you have twisted into a ball?"
"It is difficult for today's cultivators to cultivate their minds. This was also a restriction we set for them back then. It is the reason why they are inferior to ants. But at the time, they did not expect that it happened to be this kind of useless thing that became Cui Chan's mouth.
The so-called spark in the book... Forget it, let’s just say that this person’s sloppiness is just like a mountain climber wearing soaked clothes. Without delay, he is getting heavier and heavier. The hundred-mile mountain road is half ninety.
.In the end, how to wring it dry, keep it fresh, and continue climbing is a big question. However, no one thought that these ants could really climb to the top of the mountain. Of course, they may have thought of it, but for the sake of
I don’t care about the word immortality. I mistakenly thought that ants climbed to the top of the mountain and saw the beautiful buildings and jade buildings in the sky. Even if I grow wings, I still have a long way to go from the top of the mountain to the sky. I’ll do whatever I want then.
It's not too late to trample him to death. The original plan was to fatten up the autumn fat, hunt again, and have a good meal. In fact, after countless years, it was still very stable. The decay of the golden bodies of countless gods was slowed down, and the world
It continues to expand in all directions, but you have already seen the final outcome."
When Old Man Yang said this, he didn't feel too much anger or sorrow. He was calm and calm, like an outsider talking about the biggest secret in the world.
Zheng Dafeng asked carefully: "Why don't the saints of the three religions eradicate the master?"
Old Man Yang smiled and said: "Now, does it make sense for you to ask such a big question? Shouldn't you think carefully about why you shouldn't be a bachelor?"
Zheng Dafeng said with a sneer: "Master can also tell funny things."
For the first time, Old Man Yang showed a look of helplessness, and his wrinkled face became more and more wrinkled, "It's not because of the nagging of Li Er, that disgusting woman."
Zheng Dafeng asked softly: "Sister-in-law too?"
Old Man Yang sneered: "If she were, would I not treat her like a pig or a dog for the rest of my life? Just because she is just a shrew who makes you miserable, I don't care."
Zheng Dafeng was relieved.
Old Man Yang said: "What Gu Can is to Chen Pingan is what Chen Pingan is to Qi Jingchun. It happens to be the dead end of the situation."
Zheng Dafeng frowned and said, "Gu Can and Chen Ping'an, their personalities are too different, right?"
The man shook his head and said, "It's different, it's different."
Old Man Yang smiled and said, "If you don't talk about good and evil, then look back, will it really be different?"
Zheng Dafeng fell into deep thought.
Zheng Dafeng's eyes gradually became firmer.
Old Man Yang shook his head and said: "Don't get involved. Even if you Zheng Dafeng is already a tenth level martial artist, it will be useless. In this situation that has nothing to do with killing and life and death, even if Wen Sheng wants to help Chen Ping'an, he still can't help. This has nothing to do with learning.
It doesn't matter whether it's big or not, whether it's a high level of cultivation or not. Because the altar of worship in the Confucian Temple was smashed, the cultural roots of Literary Sage's own knowledge are still there. Of course, Literary Sage can use a huge knowledge to forcibly
It temporarily covers Chen Pingan's current knowledge and subdues the evil dragon in his heart, but in the long run, the gains outweigh the losses, and it is easy to go astray and kill Chen Pingan."
Old Man Yang glanced at the sky, "The visiting Master Lu can help Chen Pingan embark on another path, but Chen Pingan himself will not agree."
"And one thing Chen Ping'an guessed accurately is that what Master Lu wanted most was the Chen Ping'an chosen by Qi Jingchun, naturally not Chen Ping'an himself, so once he became unstable, he was kidnapped to Bai Yujing. It would be better,
It is not impossible to become a puppet, eleven or twelve realms. But if it is worse, I may not be able to escape from the hands of Master Lu for the rest of my life. Use it to observe the Tao."
Zheng Dafeng snorted, "It's like a man. The more awkward a woman is when he doesn't get it, the better she looks. But if you get it, it's actually just the same thing."
Old Man Yang said for no reason, "There are many brothels in small towns now."
Zheng Dafeng's face turned red, "Master, I just talk a lot, but I'm not that kind of person!"
Old Man Yang asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with the topic at all, "What is written on the four-dollar plaque at Crab House that the Three Religions family hangs here in the town?"
Zheng Dafeng replied: "Confucianism is about doing one's duty, Taoism is about speaking naturally, Buddhism is about not asking outsiders, and military strategists are about bullfighting in anger."
Old Man Yang smiled and asked, "Think about it carefully."
Zheng Dafeng thought for a moment, "Doing my duty is one of the key reasons why Chen Pingan is trapped in this situation..."
Old Man Yang smiled and said, "Isn't it wonderful to be alone in Taoism and pursue the Tao, to be in harmony with heaven and earth? That's why I said that the Taoism taught by Master Lu can save Chen Ping'an for a while, and he doesn't even care about the human world.
Do you still care about the life and death of a young boy from Mu Ping Alley? Wen Sheng scolded Master Lu for being blind to others and ignorant of heaven. In my opinion, this is not the case. In the early days, Master Lu sought the Tao in the land of Haoran.
Maybe so, but when he went out on the boat, things started to change. He really began to forget his form, and he was incomparably close to Taozu's great road, so he became Taozu's favorite disciple. As for the Buddhist saying derived from that Buddhist saying
, seems to be a way for Chen Ping'an to break the situation, but in fact it is not the case. Cui Chan must have thought of it and already has countermeasures. As for the angry bullfight..."
Zheng Dafeng lowered his voice, "What about her?"
Old Man Yang said expressionlessly: "She? She doesn't care at all. Maybe she wants Chen Pingan to be more comfortable. As long as Chen Pingan doesn't die, she will be happy to see it happen, even if it goes to an extreme."
Zheng Dafeng scratched his head, "After all, Chen Ping'an is definitely doomed?"
Old Man Yang smiled and said: "When the time comes, a rich man guarding the top of the mountain will have you guarding his mountain gate, eating and drinking, wouldn't it be nice?"
Zheng Dafeng suddenly raised his head and stared at the old man, "Master deliberately wants the evil dragon in Chen Pingan's heart to rise up, so as to temper the heart of the sword. If he doesn't talk about the benevolence, righteousness and morality that restrains his hands, Chen Pingan will only feel that the sky is huge.
It only makes sense to have a sword in hand, so that you can help that existence and throw away the scabbard of Chen Ping'an earlier, right?!"
Old Man Yang smiled and said: "If you can think of this step, it seems that you have made some progress."
Zheng Dafeng said tremblingly: "Is this what she asked for?"
Old Man Yang shook his head, showing a look of emotion and nostalgia, and murmured: "She
Why would she care about this? She doesn't care. She...it's her."
Zheng Dafeng looked sad, "It's pitiful, it's really pitiful."
He thought of the young man sitting opposite him on the bench under the eaves in the dust medicine shop, eating melon seeds and looking at the people in the yard with a smile.
He always felt that after suffering such an unreasonable disaster, that young man should live a comfortable and comfortable life for a few days.
Who would have thought that from the moment he left Old Dragon City, there would be a more terrifying situation waiting for Chen Ping'an than Du Mao in the Ascension Realm and his natal sword-swallowing boat.
It's autumn.
It’s autumn hunting.
Old Man Yang said calmly: "Nowadays, with the arrival of the great chaos in the world, there will come a time when everyone doesn't like to talk about the truth, those fools who feel that it is useless to know the truth, and the evil people who use the truth to satisfy their own selfish desires.
, will follow those basic truths, and the truth will come to light together. If you don’t eat, you will die, and if you don’t drink water, you will die. When that time comes, you will know how valuable it is that someone is willing to reason. Fortunately, people’s memory is not good. After eating, the pain will soon disappear.
Forget, the world is just like this over and over again, ten thousand years have passed, and it’s still not much better.”
Zheng Dafeng said tremblingly: "Okay? Why is it okay?"
Old Man Yang smiled, "Am I a human?"
Zheng Dafeng was speechless.
Old Man Yang asked again, "Are you a human being?"
Zheng Dafeng remained silent and speechless.
Zheng Dafeng finally left the shop and walked to Mu Ping Alley, passing Chen Ping'an's ancestral home and Gu Can's ancestral home.
Old Man Yang was smoking alone in the yard.
Thousands of years ago, there were clusters of divine brilliance in the sky, vast and bright, with stars shining brightly.
How can those insignificant human natures in the world, just little sparks, win?
Cui Chen gave the answer.
Old Man Yang doesn't want to admit it, but he has to admit it.
And the guy who can give that answer is probably somewhere in Shujian Lake by now.
————
On the top floor of a high-rise building with a wide view in Chishui City, the door was opened. Sitting there was a young man in white clothes with a mole between his eyebrows, and an old man in scholar's clothes, looking out at the magnificent scene of Shujian Lake.
Cui Dongshan, Cui Chan.
The two people today were once one person, Xiuhu, the master of the Great Li Kingdom, and the first disciple of the Wen Sheng in the past.
Cui Dongshan looked solemn and used the flying sword Golden Spike to draw a small thunder pond around himself to remind himself that no matter what happened, he could not get out of this circle.
Cui Chan glanced at Cui Dongshan and said with a smile: "As expected of a teacher and a student, both of them like to draw the ground as a prison."
Cui Dongshan gritted his teeth and said: "If I lose, I will definitely admit it. If you lose, don't bully others and turn your back and deny it!"
If this old bastard hadn't forced this game and didn't give him any room to refuse, how could he, Cui Dongshan, be willing to go to the gambling table again? He now hates the term "elder brother" the most, and he doesn't want to gamble on betting big and winning more.
, and even more unwilling to kill him.
But the old bastard doesn't agree, what can Cui Dongshan do?
On the other hand, if Cui Dongshan were sitting in Cui Han's position, he thinks he would do the same thing.
How could I not understand myself?
This time the bet between Cui Dongshan and Cui Han was very simple. They had to prioritize one thing and another, that's all, it didn't involve life or death.
This is also the reason why Cui Dongshan is unwilling to break the pot. This is precisely what Cui Dongshan hates about himself the most. "A person" will know where his bottom line is better than any outsider.
If Cui Chan loses, from now on, Cui Chan will be allowed to cede territory and become king in the Sui Dynasty, and not only Cui Chan, but the entire Dali Song Dynasty will bet on Chen Pingan. Chen Pingan is worth the price
When Cui Chan met last time, he said with a smile, "Even I thought it was a dead game. Chen Ping'an was able to break it, so he certainly deserves my admiration. Such a being cannot be beaten to death casually, so...
…The other extreme is to try your best to win over someone. There’s nothing shameful about that.”
If Cui Dongshan loses, he must go out of the mountain and leave the Cliff Academy to help Cui Han strategize and conquer the Zhuying Dynasty. After bypassing the Guanhu Academy, he must dispatch the Great Li cavalry, or south of the Great Li, Guanhu Academy
To the north, suppress all parties and quickly digest the national heritage of half of Aquarius Continent, turning it into the internal national strength that truly belongs to Da Li.
Cui Dongshan also wanted to follow the path of meritorious service and become the founding disciple of Cui Chan's theory of meritorious service.
Why is the Xianjia ferry in Qingluan Kingdom so slow? Why are there no ferries directly to Shujian Lake in Laolong City, Qingluan Kingdom, and Huangting Kingdom? Why did Chen Ping'an train at Sui Academy?
Transformed into a second natal object? Why did Longquan County suddenly start a new round of buying and selling Shantou?
It’s all for Shujian Lake to have everything ready, not even the east wind.
But in this process, everything needs to be in line with the general trend of the continent and be reasonable. It is not that Cui Han is forcing the layout, but under the premise that Cui Dongshan is personally watching, Cui Han takes steps step by step, and every step cannot be unreasonable.
.
Dali, who had already secretly infiltrated Shujian Lake, is now quietly closing the net.
As an important piece of land adjacent to the Zhuying Dynasty, Shujian Lake has long been in the eyes of the Great Li Imperial Master.
Liu Zhimao, the real king of Jiejiang, wanted to unify Shujian Lake. After unifying the rivers and lakes, who would he hand it over to? Naturally, he would sell it to the emperor's family for a sky-high price.
This is the Emperor's House, which is a bit far away from Shujian Lake. The Emperor's House will be resold, and to whom? It is the Yu Guizong of Tongye Continent. The Yu Guizong plans to choose a Feng Shui treasure land in Aquarius Continent.
As the opening address of the next sect, there are already three locations selected, one is Longquan County, which is divided into two, Ruan Qiong and Yugui Sect, which are equally divided. One is somewhere close to the Yunlin Jiang family and Qingluan Kingdom. The last one is
, which is Shujian Lake.
Liu Zhimao was originally an ambitious man. Through his fierce attacks, win-overs, and kindness and power over the years, he had become the overlord of the Shujian Lake. With the last killing, and with the help of Brother Da Li, he was expected to have the final say.
Ruan Xiu should have been added to stand on the opposite side of Gu Can, and he should have waited until the latest king of the world was elected, and experienced a series of killings with the oriole behind him.
It doesn't matter.
Originally, Ruan Xiu was not on the chessboard. Her presence or absence did not matter, at most it was just the icing on the cake.
Originally, Chen Ping'an should have arrived in Longquan County, happily bought one or two hills, practiced boxing at Luoluoshanzhulou, chatted with the two little guys, and had a good time.
Then he would suddenly hear bad news from Shujian Lake. A big melee broke out in Shujian Lake. The young Gu Can was deeply involved in it and exerted considerable influence.
After that, Chen Pingan hurriedly took a fairy ferry that "happened to pass by" Niujiao Mountain. Through Wei Bo's personal relationship, he spent a lot of fairy money and ventured across the territory of Aquarius Continent to reach this Shujian Lake.
.
By that time, the situation will be even more complicated and difficult to resolve than it is now.
Because more people died.
Maybe we should also add Ruan Xiu.
Cui Han smiled and said: "It still doesn't matter, the overall situation has been decided, just pretend that I can't bear to kill you Cui Dongshan with a stick, so as to save you from changing the path, which will be too long and delay the general trend of Aquarius Continent."
Cui Chan shifted his gaze and looked at a path by the lake. With a smile on his face, he said slowly: "You, Chen Ping'an, stand upright and are willing to be reasonable in everything. Do you want to be a Buddhist monk? That's okay.
It’s up to you!”
"There is no difference between what you believe in and what you are close to. So when the person you care about the most and is closest to you makes a big mistake, a huge mistake, but that person seems to have some reasons of his own, then you Chen Ping'an
What should I do? Does the principle you Chen Pingan have always insisted on still work? I am very curious and I am looking forward to it. "
"Or should you go to those messy literati's writings or the so-called warning quotes and find a few truths you want?"
Cui Chan narrowed his eyes, "You and I can wait and see."
Cui Dongshan sneered: "A good gentleman can bully others."
Cui Chan thought to himself and said: "In that test in the small town, for Chen Ping'an, the temptation was mostly external objects, not pure enough, that's why we lost so miserably. In the final analysis, I underestimated a boy from a back alley.
Now that he can be selected by Qi Jingchun, I and we should have been more cautious. So in this current test, we only have to ask our true intentions."
Cui Dongshan was not kept in the dark by Cui Han at all, or was being plotted by that old bastard behind his back. In fact, Cui Han would make it clear to Cui Dongshan every step of the way.
The more this happened, the more Cui Dongshan felt that he was waiting to die.
So when Chen Ping'an and the four scrolls arrived in Qingluan Kingdom, Cui Dongshan finally couldn't sit still. He couldn't just watch himself become a vassal of the old bastard.
So he suddenly appeared in that quiet and peaceful village.
After that, it was until Chen Pingan arrived at Cliff Academy.
Cui Dongshan cheated twice.
Once, he "naturally" talked about Legalist knowledge with the help of the debate between Buddhism and Taoism in Qingluan Kingdom. During that separation, Cui Dongshan secretly handed Pei Qian the bag of tips and wrote a sentence on the note inside.
.
The second time was when we met again at Shanya Academy and persuaded Chen Pingan to read more than a dozen "serious scriptures" from the three religions and hundreds of schools. The real intention was to secretly recommend to Chen Pingan the few Buddhist scriptures.
It is already an extravagant hope to break this situation, so take a step back and let Mr. Chen Pingan keep his Taoist heart at least. Cui Dongshan knew that he was struggling hard and gave two possibilities.
One is a legalist, right and wrong, the other is determined by the law, there is no distinction between closeness and distance.
One is Buddhism, the theory of cause and effect, all living beings are suffering, all kinds of causes yesterday, all kinds of effects today. All kinds of causes in the past life, all kinds of effects in this life. Those innocent people's misfortune today is because they are burdened with sins and karma in the previous life, and this should be the "reason".
In fact, Cui Dongshan's cheating was even more subtle.
It was the most ingenious time in the courtyard of Shanya Academy.
At this moment, Cui Han looked at the Qingxia Island boat slowly approaching the ferry on the lake, and smiled: "You cheated twice, I can pretend not to see it, I am overwhelming you, you will inevitably
I’m not convinced, so what if I let you have two sons?”
Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "You old bastard, you really sound like a wealthy person. I like it, I like it! Otherwise, if you give me another son, you won't be able to do more than three things, how about that?"
Cui Chan looked at the building ship, "Didn't I already give in? I just said it out loud because I was afraid that you, a brat, would be embarrassed by it."
Cui Dongshan looked ugly.
Cui Chan said to himself: "In the courtyard of Donghua Mountain, you deliberately lured two naughty and lively children to smear on your fairy painting, and then you deliberately used a picture of a skeleton to cool off the summer heat to scare Pei.
Qian, deliberately let his temper go too far, and then he was beaten and scolded by Chen Pingan. Chen Pingan's performance must make you very happy, right? Because he has come such a long way, but he is not too rigid in books.
I understand the truth of death. I know that a gentleman's song and extension are indispensable. I also know what it means to "do as the Romans do as the Romans do." You laugh so hard that Cui Dongshan doesn't care about those scrolls. In your eyes, they are worthless. Plus, Chen Ping'an is willing to
I treat you as one of my own, so it seems that Chen Ping'an is being unreasonable. It was clearly Pei Qian and Li Huai who made the mistake first, so why did he explain the basic principles of the order to you Cui Dongshan? Because this is called doing as the Romans do, the principles of the world.
It must be in line with those 'faultless' favors. Your intention is nothing more than to ask Chen Ping'an to think carefully about why Gu Can ended up in this lake of slips and how he became a person after knowing what Gu Can did.
Is it possible to kill a little devil who kills innocent people indiscriminately? Is it possible that the world is like this and Gu Can doesn’t make many mistakes? "
Cui Dongshan's face was solemn.
Cui Han said with a smile: "But is this really useful? Do you really think that your move is very good? You are wrong. This move of yours was a good move for the boy in Mud Bottle Alley back then, but now it makes sense in his heart.
For Chen Ping'an of Cangshi, it only adds fuel to the fire, which will only make him think deeper and make him even more confused in the end. Cui Dongshan, until now, haven't you seen the really interesting part of my game?"
Cui Han looked calm, never turning his head to look at Cui Dongshan, let alone using an aggressive posture, "What's interesting? It's about the word "heat". The complexity of the truth is precisely that it can be said that when one goes to the countryside, do as the Romans do, is it possible?
No, the principles can be explained or not. The principles of law, the law of a place, and its own principles can all be confused. Shujian Lake is a lawless place, secular laws do not apply, and the teachings of sages and sages do not work. Even many Shujian Lake islands
The rules set by each other will not work. Here, the big fish eats the small fish and the small fish eats the shrimp. People eat people. People don’t treat people as people. Everything depends on their fists. Almost everyone is killing here and there.
Being trapped in it, no one is exempt."
"These can all be the valid reasons for Chen Pingan to take a step back for peace of mind. These are the leeway I deliberately gave Chen Pingan. I gave him countless possibilities to choose. The avenues and forks are all at his feet.
, no one stopped him. In this way, I can teach him to feel for himself that there seems to be no logical truth in the world. I just want him Chen Pingan to go. For Gu Can, he has to choose to deny himself and accept the world.
That bastard theory that only has a position and no right or wrong."
Cui Chan smiled and said: "A good person who is reasonable meets a world that believes in fists in his heart and only talks about reason. Then this good person has a bloody head, ties his own hands and feet, and draws the ground as a prison. I want to see it. In the end, you Chen Ping'an
Cui Chan then spoke eloquently, every sentence, like knives piercing Cui Dongshan's heart.
"Gu Can's mother, with that bowl of kindness back then, Chen Ping'an felt that she was a life-saving benefactor to you."
"You have as much affection for Gu Can as Liu Xianyang. You treat Gu Can as your biological brother."
"Even that loach was the one you personally gave to Gu Can back then."
"Since you Cui Dongshan secretly used the tenets of Buddhism to save Chen Ping'an, can you really save him? Didn't Chen Ping'an believe in the "Don't ask outsiders" on that archway? The cause and effect of those who died in vain can be explained, but once you escape Zen,
I want to give myself a Buddhist peace of mind outside of Confucian principles, but the question arises again. Do you want to get this earliest cause and effect related to you? Can you not see it? "
"If Chen Pingan pretends not to see it, it doesn't matter, because Chen Pingan has lost the innocent heart that Qi Jingchun cherishes the most. The outcome has been decided between you and me."
"If Chen Pingan really can't see it, it doesn't matter. I will find someone to remind him."
Cui Zhang finally concluded his decision, his tone was normal, but he was not too happy, "This time, no one can save him, not even Chen Pingan himself."
Cui Dongshan sat aside and said nothing.
Cui Chan finally turned his head and said with a smile: "Young man, if you want to be energetic, why are you even more depressed than me now?"
Cui Dongshan closed his eyes, his face full of tears, and murmured softly: "May your mood, sir, be like spring all year round, like spring all year round..."
The boat on the lakeside had already docked. The "middle-aged man" surnamed Chen was standing under the willow tree with yellow leaves in the distance. He finally stopped drinking. After putting the wine bottle back on his waist, he hesitated to move forward.
He is seventeen years old.
Cui Zhang stood up, stretched out a palm, and said with a smile: "Please enter the urn!"
