Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Seventh Thinking of Innocence Is Calm
Two Taoist priests, one old and one young, were walking along the banks of the great swamp in the Divine Continent of the Middle Earth. The autumn wind was blowing coldly. The old Taoist and his disciple said they wanted to meet an old friend.
The young disciple didn't ask who he was and whether he was of a high level, because there was no need.
Back then, I was turned away by a scholar on that isolated island overseas.
The young Taoist priest had some emotions about his master's cultivation, especially after learning that the master said that the scholar was not a land immortal, let alone the Jade Pu Realm, the Immortal Realm and the Ascension Realm. The young Taoist priest originally wanted to comfort his master.
It's just that the young Taoist priest gave up as soon as he saw the master's indifferent appearance. It would be better this way. The master's ability to kill demons is not good, and he, a disciple, has poor Taoism. It seems to be excusable?
Later, the master took him to the Middle Earth Divine Continent and went to the Dragon Tiger Mountain of the Middle Earth where his master's sect was. As a result, Zhang Shanfeng was left at the foot of the mountain by the master. The young Taoist priest felt a little regretful, but he felt that the master's reputation was not big enough.
Unable to take anyone with him to climb the mountain, he didn’t say anything. Master only said that he wanted to ask those yellow and purple nobles for something on this mountaineering trip. If it was successful, Zhang Shanfeng would be able to climb the mountain, so Zhang Shanfeng asked Master to give him snacks.
, Speak well to those yellow and purple nobles, and don't be as generous as you are on the top of your mountain. After all, whether you can visit the Tianshi Mansion depends entirely on the master.
The old Taoist priest said that there is nothing to worry about when Master is doing things.
The young Taoist priest's eyes are sad. He has been practicing in Paidi Peak for so many years. Master, what have you accomplished? Occasionally, some Taoists from different backgrounds come to talk to you. They are either fast asleep or just letting themselves and a few people talk.
The older senior brothers helped to shirk the situation. As time went by, Taixia, Baiyun and fellow Taoist disciples from Zhixuan Sanmai, before they even discussed matters, saw him showing up, and immediately sighed, turned around and left without hesitation. Although the disciples
It is only right to help the master to relieve his worries, but it is unjustifiable for the disciple to help the master to avoid disasters time and time again, right?
The old Taoist priest came down the mountain not long after he climbed the mountain. He said that the matter was not going to work and that it would make it impossible for the disciple to go to the Tianshi Mansion to see him.
The young Taoist priest said it didn't matter, and in turn gave the old Taoist priest a few words of comfort.
The old Taoist priest burst into tears of gratitude and said with great emotion, "Shanfeng Mountain, a disciple like you is really the master's little cotton-padded jacket."
The young Taoist priest raised his head and glanced at Longhu Mountain in the distance. The immortal energy was lingering, the cranes were roaring, and the precious light was hidden. He was a little disappointed. However, this disappointment was not for the master, but for himself. He followed the master's instructions back then.
He was told to stop wandering near his own hilltop after leaving the top of the mountain, and go to a distant place to see the scenery, so Zhang Shanfeng took a ferry directly to the distant place. After a trip, he was devastated and unwilling to return to the teacher's gate.
He gritted his teeth, took out almost all his fairy money, and took the Dajiao Mountain ferry to travel directly across continents to Aquarius Island. Later, he met a friend, and then met another friend. The three of them parted ways and met again.
There is parting.
After experience, there are some things that the young Taoist priest can understand very clearly.
Therefore, Zhang Shanfeng became more and more grateful to his master.
The old Taoist priest stopped somewhere on the bank of Daze and said to wait a moment.
Zhang Shanfeng stood aside with a bamboo box on his back and asked softly: "Master, you came to visit and didn't bring any gifts?"
The old master, who had two fire dragons embroidered on his Taoist robe, frowned and said, "I was in such a hurry that I forgot about it."
Zhang Shanfeng sighed, "Even if it's just a few snowflakes as a gift, it means less courtesy than affection. Master, are we too ungrateful? Next time you visit a friend, please make an agreement with me in advance.
Just come and prepare a gift."
The old master thought for a while and nodded in agreement. He still resisted telling his disciples the truth. If our master and disciples came to the door with gifts, he was afraid that the Daze Water God would mistakenly think that he wanted to pay homage first and then attack, and his knees would probably become weak due to cramps and peeling.
Although the Zeshui God was the first in the water god temple of the third largest dynasty in the world, he really didn't know how to behave... As a god, he had a bad temper, so he started to use his magical powers to burn Daze until he waited until
After the water surface of the entire Daze dropped by more than ten feet, the guy finally started to kneel down and kowtow, praying for mercy.
At this moment, the old man who had used a blinding trick revealed a little bit about the situation.
Soon an old man in golden robes came out of the water. After landing on the shore, he didn't say anything. He didn't dare. His heart was pounding, trembling, and his face was sullen. He was afraid that if he couldn't hold it back, he would kneel down and cry bitterly.
What a pitiful man. If he talks some disgusting flattery, it will make the old god displeased. Wouldn't it be a big disaster? If we say that in this great dynasty and up and down the mountain, his rank and cultivation are not low.
The Water God is also known as a tough guy. He once fought with several great monks who had passed through the border. The only exception was when he faced the Fire Dragon Master.
Generally, when a great monk is exhausted, he will use magic spells and magic weapons to break his golden body, severely damaging his vitality. He can then use incense and water luck to repair the golden body and then recover.
But the Fire Dragon Master in front of him could beat his golden body to pieces, and he had no power to fight back.
As for why the Fire Dragon Master can attack a mountain and water god at will, while the Middle-earth Academy has very few rules and restrictions on this old god, it is a bit strange.
The young Taoist priest looked at what looked like an outsider who had cultivated Taoism here. Then he looked at this man's cold expression with a stern face and said nothing. He was somewhat blaming the master. Look, there was a little bit of joy in the reunion of old friends.
Atmosphere? Could it be that the master feels that he has lost face in the Longhu Mountain and wants to come to this mirage water area to find a Taoist friend with a mediocre relationship. Fortunately, the disciple can show off his friends in the Middle-earth Divine Continent.
Extensive? In fact, Master, you really don’t need to be like this. The young Taoist priests feel sorry for Master.
Zhang Shanfeng coughed, "Master?"
The immortal Huolong who traveled thousands of miles said "oh" and said with a smile: "Long time no see."
The old man in gold robe swallowed his saliva and said with a forced smile: "It's been a long time."
Master Huolong was too lazy to talk nonsense with the Daze Water God, "I want to ask you for a bottle of water elixir."
The old man in golden robe almost shed tears on the spot.
It's just a bottle of natal water elixir from the Mirage Water Palace. It's a trivial matter that's just passed on by someone. Why does the old master need to personally take action? If we take these extra steps on the country roads, wouldn't it delay the old immortal's practice? Do you, the old immortal, know?
You know, your appearance almost scares the courage out of this little god like me, okay?
The golden-robed old man only thought that he would have to hold a banquet at the Water God Palace to survive the disaster. After all, he had been worried for more than a thousand years, always worried that the next time he saw the real Fire Dragon, he would shed a layer of skin even if he died.
Who would have thought that just a bottle of water elixir could solve the problem? Of course, the so-called bottle of water elixir is only aimed at old immortals like the Fire Dragon Master, who are at the peak of the Ascension Realm. Ordinary Immortal Realm monks who are proficient in fire magic and magical powers do not dare to speak like this.
He, the water god of Middle-earth, who is of extremely high rank, can neither defeat nor escape. What can he do to me if he hides in the water? Anyway, if the other party bullies others and really makes a big fuss, neither the dynasty nor the academy will stand idly by.
So the old man in golden robe immediately took out a porcelain bottle in his hand and asked cautiously: "Is one bottle enough?"
Master Huolong smiled, "What do you think?"
Without saying a word, the golden-robed old man took out an extra water elixir condensed from the essence of Mirage Water Transport.
In fact, the Fire Dragon Master really only needed one bottle, but he suddenly thought that someone from the Baiyun lineage on the top of his mountain might need this item to help break through the situation, so he had no intention of refusing.
Zhang Shanfeng gently tugged on Master's sleeve.
Master Huolong said with a smile: "Your friend gave you such a big gift and was sincere to you. Although the master had given him a gift back then, in fact, according to the master's seniority, it was not enough.
So I plan to give him an extra bottle of water elixir. It is not only to help you repay the favor, but also to break some karma. As for the other bottle, it is for your senior brother from the Baiyun lineage."
Zhang Shanfeng didn't quite understand what the gift and cause and effect were.
But when I think that Chen Ping'an can get an extra bottle of water elixir, it is a great thing after all.
Master Huolong doesn't mind that this disciple and that young man will walk together forever, but some trivial causes and effects still need to be sorted out.
Master Huolong took the two bottles of water pills, and at the same time, he quietly left a fire dragon as thin as silk in the palm of the Mirage Water God to help him temper the god's golden body.
When you take advantage of others, you must reciprocate the favor.
Furthermore, regarding Chen Ping'an, in fact, Huolong Zhenren was unwilling to encourage others. In fact, his disciple Zhang Shanfeng, or rather himself, owed him two favors.
The first is the seal carved by the great heavenly master of the previous generation. It is not valuable, but it has far-reaching meaning to Zhang Shanfeng. This is Tao Yuan.
For a Taoist, the sky is vast and the earth is vast, the Taoist destiny is the greatest, and magic weapons and immortal soldiers are just around the corner.
The second is the sword, but this is another fate.
This is also an important reason why Master Huolong is willing not to get angry at the Tianshi Mansion after his "asking for help" was fruitless.
This time, as agreed upon, Huolong Zhenren hoped that his disciple Zhang Shanfeng could obtain the instruction of the contemporary Great Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master's Mansion and take up the post of Great Heavenly Master with a foreign surname.
However, the Tianshi Mansion recognized that Zhang Shanfeng had a bright future, but felt that the world of chaos had already begun, and that distant water could not quench the thirst of the nearer. It asserted that Zhang Shanfeng was destined not to become the mainstay of Longhu Mountain within a hundred years. In addition, the Tianshi Mansion itself was
In the past thousand years, two candidates with other surnames for the Great Heavenly Master have been found, so they did not accept the proposal of Master Huolong. Therefore, as long as Master Huolong truly ascends in Beiju Luzhou, Zhongtu Longhu Mountain will launch a plan that day.
Although his surname is Great Heavenly Master, he is much inferior to Huolong Zhenren, but compared to Zhang Shanfeng, there is a world of difference.
At that time, in the Patriarch's Hall of the Tianshi Mansion, except for the great Tianshi who looked calm, almost all the other nobles in Huang and Purple were somewhat confused and unavoidably frightened.
He was afraid that Master Huolong would take action if he disagreed.
Fortunately, Master Lao just went down the mountain silently and left the boundary of Longhu Mountain with his disciple Zhang Shanfeng.
On the bank of Daze, the old man in golden robe was so crazy that he wanted to kowtow to express his gratitude, but Master Huolong gave him a look in his eyes, telling him not to act like this.
The old man in gold robe quickly calmed down.
Zhang Shanfeng took the two bottles of water elixir from the hands of Master Huolong, put them in his sleeves, and smiled broadly.
I can finally do something for Chen Pingan, right? I ate and drank all the way back then, and owed Chen Pingan a lot of debt. In the ghost house of Caiyi Country, the nectar armor I bought on credit was at the ferry in Shushui Country.
It was the sword that was given on credit. Later, when she and Xu Yuanxia were trapped in a siege in the Qingluan Kingdom, Chen Pingan came to the rescue?
Master Huolong glanced at the golden-robed old man, who immediately understood. He gritted his teeth and took out the last bottle of water elixir he carried with him and gave it to the young Taoist priest.
Just a monk in the Lower Five Realms?
Is he really the high-ranking disciple of Master Huolong? Although Master Huolong has an eccentric temper and never accepts disciples based on their qualifications, but since the old god is willing to travel hand in hand with a disciple to the Middle-earth Divine Continent, how can this disciple be simple?
The young Taoist priest was a little shy. He wanted the bottle of water elixir but felt it was unkind, so he tried to evade it.
The old man in the golden robe made a bold statement, saying that this water elixir was the most worthless thing in his family. It was the first time they met. He was so many years older that he deserved to be given as a gift.
He didn't dare to say how many years older he was. Otherwise, if he were the senior of the little Taoist priest, wouldn't he be the same generation as Master Huolong?
Zhang Shanfeng had actually made up his mind not to accept it, but Master Huolong persuaded him to accept it, saying that he could repay the gift if he had the opportunity to travel alone to the Middle-earth Divine Continent in the future.
Regarding the word "repaying the gift", the golden-robed water god's scalp went numb when he heard it, and his heart was filled with fear.
He guessed that Huolong Zhenren was related to Longhu Mountain, because during the thousand years after Huolong Zhenren burned Daze and returned to Beiju Luzhou, there would often be Huangzi nobles from Tianshi Mansion traveling down the mountain and making a special trip to
Here's a look at the battlefield.
Only then did Zhang Shanfeng accept the third bottle of water elixir and gave him a thank you gift.
The old man in golden robe did not dare to stay any longer and said goodbye.
We must quickly use the fire dragon gifted by the old god to temper our golden body. Before that, of course we must pass on the order and all the lake spirits within our jurisdiction must immediately return to their lairs. Who dares to lose control of his legs? He, the mirage water god,
It means they can't hold their own heads.
Master Huolong took Zhang Shanfeng to continue hiking.
Master Huolong had some harsh words and did not say much to his disciple Zhang Shanfeng.
The causal connection between Chen Pingan and Beiju Luzhou is very deep, and it is easy for this disciple to be dragged into it.
I believe that with that young man's temperament, even if he is in a desperate situation, he will not take the initiative to drag Zhang Shanfeng. However, the world is in a mess. If Chen Pingan does this, his disciples will have their own opinions and will definitely join in it without hesitation.
When the time comes, as a master, will I let the Beiju Luzhou Sword Immortal go out to sea to resist the group of Taoists from the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, as I did back then? Or will I break the rules and go down the mountain to fight with the disciple and the young man?
I have to admit that many of the fundamentals of Taoism that Lu Chen admires are actually very confusing at first glance, and they sound harsh at first glance. However, after careful consideration a hundred times and thousands of years, they are actually the right principles.
Cultivation on the mountain, everyone practices self-cultivation, travels in vain, ascends or reincarnates, naturally the mountain will be pure, and the world will be peaceful.
Once the people who practice Taoism on the mountain decide their fate down the mountain based on their personal preferences, and the knowledge of hundreds of schools of thought will drag it here and there, it will become an even messier mess.
Everyone is reasonable and everyone is unreasonable.
Master Huolong once visited Qingming World in his early years due to fate.
I have seen both the good and bad aspects of Taoism in the world, which is not sloppy, and I have also seen the good and bad aspects of Confucianism, a network of people in the world.
Sure enough, it makes sense for Taoists in Qingming Tianxia to use a white jade capital to fight against the illusory demons from the outside world, and in Haoran Tianxia to use the Great Wall of Sword Qi and the Hanging Mountain to defend against the barbaric world.
The young Taoist priest suddenly laughed and said: "Master, now that I have walked through the Middle Earth Divine Continent, I am like Chen Ping'an, a person who has walked through the Three Continents."
Master Huolong smiled and nodded, "They are all amazing."
Zhang Shanfeng asked: "Are the younger generation of Qi practitioners in Aquarius Continent inferior to us?"
Master Huolong said: "There is only a sixty-year difference in the big years between the two continents. Maybe if we look at it next time, everyone will find that the young people of Aquarius Continent are getting more and more attention. But having said that, Yizhou Qi
Luck is a certain number, but there is no such thing as the amount of spiritual energy. Whichever continent is big, and where young geniuses are springing up in big years, the number will be even more exaggerated. Therefore, if Aquarius Continent wants to impress the other eight continents, it still needs a bit of luck.
Judging from the current situation, Master's old friend, now named Li Liu, will definitely excel, and no one can stop her. Ma Kuxuan is also a unique person who only has a few years left, and the person he assists
Of course, a woman is no exception. Relatively speaking, these three people have the smallest accidents, so Master will single them out and talk about them. Just because the accidents are small, does not mean there are no accidents."
Zhang Shanfeng smiled, "Chen Pingan will definitely stand out, right?"
Master Huolong nodded and said: "He should be counted as one. But the final height is hard to say for the time being. Because there are too many variables."
Zhang Shanfeng said: "Master, I must have good taste. The first friend I met in Aquarius Continent was Chen Pingan."
Master Huolong said: "I think Chen Pingan has a good vision."
Zhang Shanfeng thought for a while, "Chen Pingan's taste in making friends is not bad, but Master, your taste in accepting disciples is probably neither good nor bad. After all, some of the senior brothers and sisters who came out of Paidi Peak are still very powerful.
.”
Master Huolong was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "Mountain Peak, remember one thing."
Zhang Shanfeng said curiously: "Master, tell me."
The old master said with emotion: "In the future, you will also recruit disciples and teach Taoism to them. Remember, don't think that anyone can definitely become a person on the top of the mountain. Just like these disciples, but there are many in these disciples... well, maybe
Even those who are masters are not as good as them, so they are destined to have more opportunities to climb to the top, so you can like them more. Don't make a mistake about the order of things. Qualifications are never absolute.
Everything is growing and graceful, and there is no unique scenery. Many of the ancestors of the Immortal family practiced cultivation until their brains were rusty, and they could not understand such a small thing, so they made a mountain without any sense of humanity."
The old master turned his head, saw his disciple suppressing a smile, and asked: "What's wrong?"
Zhang Shanfeng smiled and said: "Master, with my little Taoism now, how can I have the nerve to accept a disciple? I am not misleading others."
The old man smiled and said: "Take your time, don't be in a hurry."
The so-called Taoist inheritance is passed down from generation to generation.
Maybe it's never a big deal, it's just someone taking the lead to light up a light. Although the light is thin, it can help people behind to light a light on the dark night road.
Otherwise, the world will always be dark.
Tao Sheng Yi.
Two gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.
"Mountain Peak, do you want to take a ride on the Qiong Yao Sect's Xianjia Ferry? Cross the continent and travel south to Nan Po Suo Continent. The scenery along the way is quite beautiful."
"Master, let's not do this thing of pretending to be fat, right?"
"But there is a friend over there who invites Master to be a guest. It's hard to refuse such hospitality."
"Then I think this friend of yours, Master, probably has an even relationship with Master. Otherwise, how could he not know about Master's financial constraints?"
"Mountain, if it doesn't work, then I can only make you suffer a little. Master's ability to slay demons is indeed a bit lacking, but Master's shakichi technique is quite acceptable. You have experienced it."
of."
"Then let's take the cross-continental ferry. Money is only a foreign possession. Before boarding the ship, disciples, just prepare some dry food and pickles."
"Why did Master accept a spiritual disciple like you?"
"Master, do you have good taste?"
"That makes sense."
"Master, you have to prepare gifts for this visit, right? When you go out, you are not practicing on your own mountain after all, so you still need to pay attention to some etiquette."
"He is a scholar. Let's just buy a few books from a roadside stall. It will be easy to deal with."
"Are you a scholar again? Don't be rejected again."
"Shanfeng, Master has to tell you some truth. In fact, Master's Taoism and name are still a bit thin outside of his own mountain."
"Then why was the senior just not willing to invite us to his house? He could just invite us to have a cup of tea. I always felt that the senior was actually very polite. Even though he clearly didn't want to see our master and apprentice, he still
The etiquette is thoughtful and I am not unfamiliar with this kind of scene. When I left Paidi Peak and traveled down the mountain, many families had rich families with evil spirits lingering. I wanted to do a favor. After knocking on the door and explaining the situation, the other party did not chase people away.
Even if you throw me a handful of copper coins or a few grains of silver, I understand what the other person means."
"I see."
"Master, from now on, don't always sleep on the mountain. Go for a walk at the foot of the mountain more often. Disciples have also learned these superficial human skills under the mountain."
"Mountain Peak, on your way down the mountain last time, did you meet an old man halfway? I heard we had a great conversation."
"Well, the old man said that he was an old acquaintance with the master and asked about it while climbing the mountain. I pointed out the way to him and chatted for a while. After the chat, the old man seemed very happy."
Master Huolong nodded and said nothing more.
After a twelve-level swordsman left Paidi Peak, he spread the news like a gossipy woman in the market. Can he be unhappy?
When he returns to Beiju Luzhou, he will go to that guy's sect and make him happy and full at once.
However, Huolong Zhenren is a little sad. No matter how high his cultivation level is, he still has the sadness of parting in this world.
It may not be possible to come back.
A broken sword can be recovered, but not a human being.
Beyond Hanging Mountain, there is the Great Wall of Sword Qi.
The sword energy soared into the sky.
In the vast world, roosters crow, dogs bark, smoke curls from cooking stoves, and thousands of houses are lit with lights.
There are three continents, and all of them may be lost in the blink of an eye.
Finally, Zhang Shanfeng said for no reason, "Master, although your Taoism is not high, I think you are the best master in the world."
The old master smiled and said: "That's right. The way the master selects his disciples is the same as the way the disciples view their master."
Zhang Shanfeng said casually: "Master, are you waiting for me to have Taoism like you one day, and then I will be considered successful in Taoism?"
The old man smiled heartily and said: "Forget it."
The Taoism of the world comes from one person?
After a moment of silence, the old master smiled and said softly: "Blessings and Immeasurable Heavenly Lord."
It was the beginning of summer before.
Over at the Qilong Lane shop, Shi Rou was the only one left to look after the business of the shop.
Pei Qian had already left the school, Zhu Lian nodded in agreement, so Shi Rou didn't say anything.
As soon as Pei Qian left, Zhou Mili followed him to Luopo Mountain.
It went from lively and bustling to deserted and deserted, and Shi Rou was a little uncomfortable with it.
During this period, Wei Bo often came to Luopo Mountain quietly. Zheng Dafeng also often left the mansion he built at the foot of the mountain and came to Zhu Lian's side.
The Lotus Flower Blessed Land was divided into four parts, and Luolu Mountain was able to occupy one of them.
Of course it is a good thing, but there is also a trouble, that is, if any blessed land wants to maintain the stability of the world, it needs to "eat money", a lot of fairy money.
Especially if you want to upgrade from a low-level blessed land with poor spiritual energy to a medium blessed land where the locals of the blessed land can practice, it is even more necessary for the person in charge of the blessed land to continue to consume the immortal money. Simply put, this is a bottomless pit, but if you manage it
If done properly, it will be like the Yunku Blessed Land controlled by the Tongyezhou Jade Guizong Jiang family. At first, the blessed land was allowed to swallow up the gods' money. After it was finally promoted to a superior blessed land, a relatively stable pattern was formed, and various people who helped stabilize the spiritual energy of the landscape began to appear.
God Fang, as well as the monastic sects that gathered spiritual energy on the top of the mountains of the major immortal families, not only did not bring down the Jiang family, but they also made a lot of money and eventually supported the Jiang family.
The local monks in the blessed land, as well as the various heavenly materials and earthly treasures that were gradually nurtured by the spiritual energy, were all sources of wealth.
Recently, Wei Bo, Zhu Lian, and Zheng Dafeng have been discussing this matter. How should they manage this small area tentatively named "Lotus Root Blessed Land"? Of course, the real naming needs to be discussed by Chen Ping'an back.
Today, the territory of this small blessed land is the territory of the Nanyuan Kingdom of the Lotus Root Blessed Land in the past.
The total population is 20 million people.
When the Lotus Root Blessed Land was obtained by Luopo Mountain, it was already full of spiritual energy, and it was between the lower and middle Blessed Lands. This meant that all living beings in Nanyuan Kingdom, whether they were humans or plants, trees, spirits, and monsters, had hope of practicing cultivation.
But the crux of the problem is that as long as it has not yet reached the level of a middle-level blessed place, even if the emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom and the imperial court enshrine the gods of mountains and rivers, the aura cannot be retained. The aura of this blessed place will dissipate and leave no trace, even if it is a great mountain god like Wei Bo.
There are no clues about the loss of spiritual energy, let alone stopping the slow leakage of spiritual energy. Therefore, the top priority is how to spend money to upgrade the lotus root blessed land to a medium blessed land. But how to spend money, where to spend it, and
As a university question, you don’t just throw away a lot of fairy money randomly. If you do it well, one Grain Rain coin may be able to retain the spiritual energy of nine Xiaoshu coins. If you do it poorly, you may be able to leave four or five Xiaoshu coins.
The aura is considered good luck.
Normally, it's okay, but when something like this happens, the Luopo Mountain family's lack of financial resources suddenly becomes apparent. It's even more obvious than the previous situation when building the Luo Po Mountain protective formation, which was in short supply.
Before spending big money, there are other problems: how to borrow money, who to borrow money from, and how much money to borrow.
After these two issues were determined, there was a series of trivial matters such as how to sign a contract with the emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom and Zhongqiu, and how to secretly place the Xian family's spiritual weapons and magic weapons, spread practice secrets, etc., and then teach the Nanyuan Kingdom
A complete set of etiquette and rituals for deities of mountains and rivers enshrined by the imperial court, as well as how Luo Po Mountain can benefit from the Lotus Root Blessed Land, ensuring that it will not dry up the lake for fishing, and that it can also make a middle-level blessed land hopeful of becoming a high-class blessed land, and in the future, a group of people who can be Luo Po Mountain will emerge.
The earthly immortal monks recruited.
This requires Luo Po Shan to be forced to assume the identity of "God" to set strict rules for the Lotus Root Blessed Land.
Zhu Lian, Zheng Dafeng and Wei Bo each came up with a detailed charter, and then checked each other's omissions to fill in the gaps.
Later, Zhu Lian rarely took the initiative to send a letter to Lu Baixiang, asking him to win over the influence and start accumulating fairy money.
As for Wei Xian's letter, he only needs to send it to Cui Dongshan. In fact, in the final analysis, it should be sent to Cui Dongshan. After all, he is his young master's disciple and student, so you are welcome.
The one on the right side of Yu Guizong's Sui Dynasty used a cross-continental flying sword that cost a lot of money. Zhu Lian couldn't help but cursed.
I want Na Sui to not delay his own practice, but also remember to be conscientious, and pick up a few magic weapons and send them back to his parents' home if anything happens.
Wei Bo was in business, and he was willing to borrow money from various forces that the Dali court was already relatively familiar with. However, the dividends from the Lotus Root Blessed Land after it became a medium blessed land were the same as the dividends from the Niujiao Mountain Ferry.
Zhu Lian then began to turn his back on one thing. In addition to having to spend enough Guyu money, Wei Bo could only occupy 10% of the income from the Lotus Root Blessed Land, instead of the two 20% proposed by Wei Bo himself.
Cheng, not only that, Zhu Lian also wanted to add a period of one thousand years. After that, if Wei Bo still wanted to share, he would have to come up with additional Guyu money. As for the specific amount, we can discuss it later.
Of course Zheng Dafeng helped Zhu Lian.
While Wei Bo was borrowing money and borrowing money through his own secret channels, he was slowly getting into trouble with these two guys.
Zhu Lian and Zheng Dafeng didn't say anything about Wei Bo's move. Wei Bo knew how to act appropriately.
After Cui Dongshan received the secret letter, the three of them were exactly the same. No matter how much fairy money this person was willing to pay, he was never allowed to get involved in the matter of sharing, even if Cui Dongshan was in the name of borrowing money.
It's no problem to deal with Luo Luo Shan.
The three of them met again that day, sitting in Zhu Lian's small courtyard. Wei Bo sighed and said slowly: "The results are calculated. At least two thousand Grain Rain coins are spent, and at most three thousand Grain Rain coins are spent, and you can barely reach the middle-level blessed land.
.The longer it is delayed, the greater the consumption will be.”
Zhu Lian said: "I haven't received the reply from the Fan family and the Sun family in Old Dragon City yet."
According to the conclusion discussed by the three people, if these two families are willing to lend money to Luo Lo Shan, it is best to add interest, and Luo Lo Shan will pay them back as agreed. But if the two families are willing to pay a large sum of Guyu money each, they can
They can jointly share 10% of the income from the Blessed Land, or Luo Luoshan can repay the money slowly with half of the income plus half of the interest-free principal. However, the three of them have also prepared for the worst, and both families feel that
If the return is too small or too slow, decline the offer.
Ruan Qiong has now returned to Longquan County from a large Lixin mountain, but the three of them did not even think about the neighbor Longquan Sword Sect. No one would say this because the two parties were inappropriate and too involved. Chen
After all, Ping'an is the real master of Luoluo Mountain. In all kinds of plans, Chen Ping'an's situation still needs to be considered first.
Zheng Dafeng laughed and said: "Let's just let Wei Bo hold another night banquet. Mosquito legs are also meat. In two days, he will be in the Jade Pure Realm. If we hold another one, it will be two mosquito legs."
Wei Bo said helplessly: "It's so shameless, isn't it appropriate?"
Zheng Dafeng turned to look at Zhu Lian and said with a smile: "Do you think it's appropriate?"
Zhu Lian said seriously: "I think it's quite suitable."
Wei Bo smiled and said, "Okay, then I will hold another one and collect a bunch of fairy money and various spiritual weapons."
Zheng Dafeng said: "But when Niujiaoshan reopens its shops and sells those unheated worshipers at high prices, I think it will be really shameless."
Zhu Lian said with a smile: "I'll sell it and be a shopkeeper. We don't need Wei Shanshen to show up. What's there to be afraid of? The worst is, let Piyunshan spread the word and say that Wei Shanshen's house was attacked by thieves and they stole a thousand and two pieces.
net."
Wei Bo rubbed his eyebrows and said, "It's better to open the shop before the Shanshui Night Banquet is held. It's shameless anyway. I might as well let them know that I'm short of money now."
Zheng Dafeng clicked his tongue and said: "You kill two birds with one stone. It makes people mistakenly think that you need fairy money to help increase your chances of breaking through. This second night banquet was held with great meaning. The worship ceremony may not be much different from the first one."
.”
Zhu Lian and Zheng Dafeng looked at each other and smiled.
The three of them then began to deliberate on the details of improving each medium-level blessed land.
After Zhu Lian entered the Lotus Root Blessed Land Nanyuan Kingdom last time with Pei Qian, he went there again alone. The opening and closing of this blessed place is not a casual matter. The loss of spiritual energy will be great, which can easily damage the Lotus Root Blessed Land.
Bones, so every time you enter a new blessed land, you need to be cautious. Zhu Lian went to see the national teacher Zang Qiu, and under Zhong Qiu’s recommendation, he met the Nanyuan Emperor. The conversation was neither pleasant nor too pleasant.
Zheng. Later, Zhong Qiu said a finishing touch, seemingly asking Zhu Lian's identity and whether he was the legendary noble prince Zhu Lian. Zhu Lian neither admitted nor denied it, and the Emperor of Nanyuan's face and eyes changed on the spot.
, reduced some hesitation.
Zhu Lian was now the "immortal", so the Emperor of Nanyuan was certainly extremely afraid of him.
But if the banished immortal who descended from the sky was Zhu Lian, the Emperor of Nanyuan would only be afraid.
It's very simple. Which madman in history killed nine people and killed all the other nine great masters? The battlefield was in the capital of Nanyuan Kingdom!
Who wouldn’t be afraid of negotiating a business deal with this kind of person?
Zhu Lian finally said casually to the emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom, there is a way out there, and the method of immortality outside is not comparable to that of your Ouhua Blessed Land. So many emperors who made elixirs and cultivated immortality died, but they just couldn't find the method.
Then the emperor's eyes changed from fearful to hot.
Although the national teacher Zhongqiu was worried, he didn't say much at the time.
The three people in the small courtyard talked about this big thing, and there is another big thing next.
Pei Qian’s martial arts training.
Howling and crying.
Over there on the second floor, it's like this almost every day.
Wei Bo is a little worried that Pei Qian's temperament will change drastically. When Chen Ping'an returns to Luolu Mountain, who will take the responsibility?
Zheng Dafeng said that he was looking after the gate at the foot of the mountain, and of course it was Zhu Lian, the big housekeeper. Zhu Lian said that he couldn't handle it, so he should let senior Cui Cheng of Zhulou do it. Wei Bo was speechless.
Wei Bo hesitated for a long time and said, "If Chen Pingan is really angry, I will be hiding in Piyun Mountain anyway. Where can you two go?"
Zheng Dafeng glanced at Zhu Lian and said, "At least I should stay away from the bamboo building."
Zhu Lian smiled and said: "Okay, there won't be a big problem. If it does happen, no one can stop it. Maybe it would be better if my young master is on the mountain, but since he is not there, things are inevitable.
If it happens, we can only wait and see what happens."
Wei Bo had a headache and left.
Zheng Dafeng thought for a while, then went down the mountain and went to the small town.
I went to Yang's shop, not to borrow money, but to ask about some things to note when running a blessed land.
The smoky old man didn't answer those trivial matters, but just said with a smile: "Do you really think of Luoluo Mountain as your home?"
The hunchbacked man smiled and said, "I think it's pretty good."
Old Man Yang said: "For these little things, you can send a letter to Lion Peak in Luzhou, Beiju, and Li Liu will tell you."
Zheng Dafeng nodded.
Zheng Dafeng asked: "Can I use that Jinliang Zhenqi Talisman on others?"
Old Man Yang said: "It's up to you."
Zheng Dafeng stood up and left.
In the front shop, a rickety man lay on the counter and exchanged playful smiles with the junior sister, which made him feel so aggrieved that he wanted to hit her.
Over there at Luolu Mountain.
One day at dawn, the dark-skinned girl who was supposed to go to the second floor of the Bamboo House ran all the way to the foot of Luolu Mountain, sat on the steps, and secretly wiped her tears.
If you take another step, you will leave Luopo Mountain.
So she sat there in a daze.
And she knew that if she went to the Bamboo House late, she would only suffer more.
When she slowly stood up, she planned to climb the mountain.
Only to find the old cook sitting on the steps behind him.
Pei Qian held a hiking stick and said angrily: "Old cook, are you afraid that I will sneak back to the Qilong Lane shop?! Am I that kind of coward?"
Zhu Lian shook his head and said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with you running back to Qilong Lane."
Pei Qian sat back down, put the hiking pole horizontally, then crossed his arms with his chest, full of anger.
Zhu Lian sat on the steps behind and said with a smile: "If you are afraid that the young master will be disappointed, I don't think it is necessary. Your master will not be disappointed with you just because you gave up after practicing half of the boxing skills, let alone be angry.
Don't worry, I won't lie to you. Only if you are lazy and delay copying books, you will be disappointed."
Tears welled up in Pei Qian's eyes.
Every time Chen Ruchu left the bamboo building on her back and woke up from the potion bucket, she would have to copy books, but her soul was shaking and her body was shaking. How could she not keep her hands from shaking?
During this period of time, no matter how hard she gritted her teeth and persisted, no matter how many methods she used, such as tying her hand and pen together, she was still unable to write a word correctly, and she had already accumulated a lot of debt.
Zhu Lian said to the slender figure again: "But there are two types of slackness. The slackness in the state of mind is more terrible. If you can make up for the debt one day while practicing boxing, it is not really slackness. Your master is on the contrary.
You will feel that you are doing the right thing, because your master has always believed that everyone has things they cannot do well, and temporarily being powerless is not a fault. It is even more rare to be able to make up for it one by one when you have the will and strength."
Pei Qian wiped his face, stood up silently, and ran up the mountain.
Zhu Lian sat there and turned around to look.
One day, Zhu Lian was cooking in the kitchen. His intentions were different from his usual intentions. Today he carefully prepared many seasonal dishes.
Because there stood a shaky dark girl at the door of the house, her arms were drooped, and her face was pale. After wandering all the way here, she said that she was a little greedy today.
So Zhu Lian planned to reward this black charcoal girl's five internal organs temple.
Then Cen Yuanji said that there was a guest visiting Luo Lo Mountain, who came from Laolong City and called himself Sun Jiashu.
Zhu Lian, who was wearing an apron at the time, said oh and just asked the head of the Sun family to wait first. If that didn't work, he called out Wei Bo's name several times and asked this guy to entertain him first.
Pei Qian then said: "Old cook, you go and do the important work. We have cooked several dishes, which is enough to eat. I will just bring the rice to the table later."
The little water monster who was helping Pei Qian carry the hiking stick in the yard immediately straightened his back and said loudly: "I am temporarily appointed as the right protector of the New Year's Shop in Qilong Lane, Zhou Mili, and I have your order!"
Pei Qian hummed, turned his head, and said with a straight face: "If you can do things well, when my master comes home, I will put in some good words for you, and you will have a chance to be promoted to the right protector of Luo Luo Mountain."
Zhou Mili puffed out his chest and grinned, but quickly shut up.
But inside the kitchen, Zhu Lian didn't turn his head, "I think what I'm busy with right now is a big thing."
Pei Qian hesitated for a moment, "Old cook, you'd better go see that person. Why don't you finish cooking so many dishes and you can't finish them all?"
Zhou Mili was about to say some upright words, but Pei Qian turned his head and glared at him. Zhou Mili immediately said loudly: "I'm not hungry today!"
Zhu Lian then put down the spatula, took off his apron, and left the kitchen and yard.
In the main room, Pei Qian asked Zhou Mili to bring the dishes to the main table one by one. However, what surprised Zhou Mili was that Pei Qian also ordered her to bring an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks and put them at the main table facing the door.
superior.
Zhou Mili took a big bowl, filled it with rice, and sat on a bench with Pei Qian, because Zhou Mili needed to help Pei Qian pick up the chopsticks to pick up vegetables and feed the rice. This was a common thing recently, and she often needed to do this.
The Right Protector has made great achievements, and Pei Qian said that all the things Xiao Mili has done, she and Pei Qian will record them in the merit book. When the master returns home, it will be the time to reward them based on their merits.
Every time Zhou Mili fed Pei Qian a mouthful of food, she devoured it herself. Then when she looked up, she saw Pei Qian looking at the empty seat where the rice bowl and chopsticks were quietly placed. Then Pei Qian looked back, seeming a little happy.
Shaking her head and shoulders, she told Zhou Mili to serve her another small bowl of rice. She wanted to eat more today. Once she was full, she could eat a few more fists tomorrow.
After Zhou Mili got up, she carried the empty bowl of rice to the rice pail placed on the small stool aside to fill it up.
When her back was turned to Pei Qian, the little water monster secretly wiped her face and sniffed. She was not really stupid. She didn't know that every time Pei Qian took a bite of food, his whole body ached.
This day is the fifth day of May.
Those who practice Taoism should enter famous mountains.
Chen Ping'an met a pair of scholars and boys in the mountains of Fufou Kingdom. They were two ordinary people. The scholar failed in the imperial examination. After reading some strange novels and literati's writings, he heard that those masters disappeared in the secluded mountains and forests.
I was obsessed with finding one or two people to see if I could learn some immortal magic. I always felt that it would be easier than getting named on the gold medal list and then returning home in fine clothes, so I worked hard to find ancient temples, Taoist temples and old people in the mountains, and ate a lot along the way.
Bitterly, when Chen Ping'an saw them on a mountain road, the young scholar and the boy were already emaciated and hungry. The boy was working hard fishing in a stream in the sun, and the young scholar was hiding under the shade of a tree to enjoy the coolness.
After repeated inquiries about whether they had been arrested, the young man was miserable and depressed, so he just said no. At that time, Chen Pingan was lying on the branches of an ancient pine tree, closing his eyes and resting, while practicing the Sword Furnace Standing and Qianqiu Sleeping Stands. In the end, the young man finally touched it with great difficulty.
I caught a thorny yellow aunt, and I was so happy that I grabbed the fish with both hands and spoke loudly, saying that it was a big one. I was happily asking for credit with my son, but suddenly my hands were stung so hard that I felt distressed and ran away. The young scholar lost it.
A wild banana leaf was used as a fan, originally intended to take a look at the "big fish". The young scholar sat down in the stream and cried loudly. The young scholar sighed and said, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious."
I was lucky to lose my life. I never thought that when the young man heard these words of comfort, he cried harder and harder, making the young scholar so worried that he squatted by the stream and scratched his head.
Chen Ping'an took out the bamboo box and carried it on his back. He held a brand new green bamboo hiking pole, floated it on the mountain road, and walked slowly. After "encountering" the scholar and the young man, he took off the bamboo box and rolled up his trousers and sleeves.
, without saying much, he went down to the stream, spotted a place with more fish, and then began to carry stones, close to the stream, and built a dam upstream, horizontally, vertically, and horizontally, and began to move in the shallow water.
However, Yi Zhang was fishing in his own territory, and soon many Aunt Huang and boat nails were thrown on the shore. The young man's eyes lit up, and he felt that according to the young master's statement, in the world of martial arts, this is called enlightenment, and being caught in the eye.
The martial arts seniors instilled him with a dozen years of martial arts skills. On the mountain, it was the immortal who supported him and taught him the method of immortality!
The young man forgot that his hands were still burning and sore, so he followed the gourd to draw a ladle, moved a stone to ladle water, and he really got something. They were all wild stream fish that he couldn't name. Although they couldn't compete with that "senior", they were comparable to his own young master.
It was more than enough for a lunch. But when they thought about how to make a fire to cook and roast fish after all the huozhezi were used up, the young scholars and teenagers started to stare at each other again. If the route was correct, they were still hundreds of miles away from the nearest county seat.
On Yuli Mountain Road, they had really not seen smoke from cooking for a long time. At the beginning of the trip, they felt that the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs in the countryside were extremely annoying, and now they really missed it.
Fortunately, the young man in green clothes, who didn't look like a gangster at all, taught the young man a unique skill. He picked a few foxtail grass, stringed up the disemboweled and cleaned river fish, and then put them on the
They were exposed to the sun on the big rocks by the stream. The young man didn’t care what he was doing. He was learning how to use it now. He cleaned the stream fish, which were as big as a palm and as small as the length of a tail finger. After cleaning them, he put them one by one on the hot pot.
On the rocks by the stream.
The scholar's self-registration number was from Lujiu County in the Kingdom of Furui. His surname was Lu and his name was Dun. He invited the young man in green shirt to enjoy the shade of the tree together. The young scholar squatted aside and looked at the young man lying on a stone not far away and enjoying the sun.
There were more than a dozen fish in the stream, secretly enjoying themselves. The young man claimed that his surname was Chen, that he came from a small country in the south, and had traveled all the way here. Lu Dun chatted with him, mainly because he hoped to go with Mr. Chen who was on a study tour.
His hometown of Lujiu County, otherwise he would already be short of money and still have five to six hundred miles to go. In fact, on the way back home, there are two local county prince families who have a close relationship with his family.
He wanted to borrow some money, but he didn't have the nerve to ask for it, especially to the family nearby. There were people of the same age who were well-known in the spring in the capital. If he came to visit like a beggar, what would he do?
What's going on? As for the other place, in that family, there was a beautiful girl that he longed for. She was elegant, quiet, and well-known as a beauty, so he was even more shameless.
Chen Pingan took out some dry food from the bamboo box and handed it to the master and servant.
After the young scholar thanked him without any courtesy, he gave the young scholar half.
The three of them ate dry food together.
Chen Pingan said that the dried stream fish can be eaten directly and are quite hungry.
The scholar and the young man suddenly realized.
The young scholar, who was a scholar at last, said that he had once seen a similar text in a book called Miscellanies of Western Xinjiang, saying that the scorching sun was so terrifying that he tried sticking the dough cakes on a brick wall and it would cook in a short time.
The young book boy is very proud.
My young master is naturally very knowledgeable.
Chen Pingan patiently listened to the young scholar's explanation, and while chewing slowly, he also thought about some things.
Green Eagle Guo Longtoudu bought a set of twenty-four solar terms Grain Rain stickers. They were large in quantity, but not expensive. They cost twelve snow coins. The most expensive one was the Guyu sticker, which sold for forty-eight snow coins. In order to bargain.
For two snowflakes, Chen Ping'an spent a lot of effort at that time.
I bought three bamboo cricket cages in Jingnan, a country where cricket fighting is common, and planned to give them to Pei Qian and Zhou Mili. Of course, I will not forget the girl in pink skirt Chen Ruchu.
The three small porcelain pots of the Lanfang Kingdom can be used to plant small green pines and orchids. The bonsai of the Lanfang Kingdom is the best in the territory of more than ten countries. Each of the three people has one, but it is estimated that even if the flowers and plants are planted, Pei Qian and Zhou
Chen Ruchu would also take care of rice grains, and soon he no longer had the patience to water them every day, so he often moved them in and out.
There is an incense burner made by the former imperial dynasty of Jinfei Kingdom, and there is also a kind of hollow gold ball that captures the sky, which is nested in sequence, from large to small, as many as nine.
In the end, Chen Pingan did not agree to go with the young scholar.
But in the end, he gave them his own stream fish and gave them some hooks and lines. After the two thanked him again, they continued on their way.
Chen Pingan sat by the stream in the mountains and began to breathe.
So many years of traveling.
Chen Pingan has met many people and admired many people.
But there was one person who, during the most difficult trip to Shujian Lake, seemed inconspicuous and was just a small passerby on the muddy road of the world, but Chen Pingan was always fresh in his memory.
She was an old country woman with a rough life. At that time, Chen Pingan took Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi to pay off her debts.
Near the village stream, Chen Pingan met a poor old woman with a stooped figure. Her clothes were clean, but even though they were mended, she still felt a little bit dilapidated.
The old woman just returned from washing clothes by the stream. She walked home with a big bamboo basket on her arm. Then she saw the ghost that had been transformed by her grandson after his death. It possessed Zeng Ye and ran to the old woman's side, kowtowing vigorously.
The old woman quickly placed the bamboo basket filled with clean clothes on the muddy ground, squatted down and tried to lift up the strange boy she did not recognize.
That scene.
Let Chen Pingan remember it for a lifetime.
It can even be said that to Chen Pingan, she is like another tiny but warm light in the lake of slips that cannot be reached.
Chen Pingan clearly felt the power of two words for the first time in the old woman.
Calmly.
It seems that so many invisible rules and sufferings in the world are so unworthy of mentioning after they have fallen firmly on the old woman.
There are mountains and mountains in the world, and there are also differences between rich and poor, but the weight of suffering is not necessarily great or small. It falls on everyone. The pain someone feels after hearing a word may be the pain of someone else being stabbed. This
It's hard to explain anything with reason, it's just generally difficult.
The only word "calm" is that it will never be easy through the ages.
Chen Ping'an suddenly opened his eyes. He was forced to withdraw from the inner vision method of a Taoist monk, and his mind was greatly moved!
But it is definitely not the kind of chaotic atmosphere where a martial artist goes crazy.
He only felt his sleeves bulging, and Chen Ping'an was completely unable to restrain his fisting intention.
Both parts of my heart and soul were shaking like a god beating a drum.
Chen Pingan stood up, staggered, stepped into the stream, then gritted his teeth and stood still, with one foot in the mountain and one foot in the water.
When the drum sounds, the fire dragon in the Qi Mansion orifice in the body swims past, like a series of spring thunder vibrations, naturally exploding in the small world of the human body.
