Sword of Coming

You can hear a needle drop in the study.

Chen Ping'an was thinking about these two questions and subconsciously wanted to pick up the sword gourd containing the alley rice wine, but he quickly let go.

Cui Dongshan did not rush.

Mao Xiaodong rubbed the ruler with his fingers.

Chen Pingan said: "There is no answer yet, I want to think about it."

Cui Dongshan nodded and said with a bright smile: "Well, there's no rush. The student can ask whatever he wants, and the gentleman can answer whatever he wants."

Chen Ping'an stood up and left. Cui Dongshan said that he wanted to chat with Mao Xiaodong for a while about the situation in the capital city of Sui Dynasty, so he stayed in the study.

When Chen Ping'an walked to the door, he turned around and pointed at Cui Dongshan's forehead, "Why don't you wipe it off?"

Cui Dongshan had a look of surprise on his face. He quickly stretched out his hand to wipe the red seal, and said with a shy face: "I have been away from the academy for a while, and my relationship with Xiao Baoping is a little unfamiliar. In fact, it was not like this before. Every time Xiao Baoping sees me They are all very kind.”

Chen Ping'an closed the door and his footsteps gradually moved away in the corridor.

Cui Dongshan tiptoed to the door of the room, put his ear against the door, and burst into laughter.

Cui Dongshan straightened up, stretched out his arms horizontally, and began to shake vigorously. His big sleeves swayed like waves, and he said happily: "I don't have to be scolded or beaten."

Mao Xiaodong looked at the guy with a playful smile and said doubtfully: "You were not like this when I was under Mr.'s sect. When I was in Dali, I heard Qi Jingchun talk about the first time he met you. It sounds like you were that good at that time. He seems to be serious every day and likes to put on airs?"

Cui Dongshan jumped up and hung high in the air, then leaned forward, assumed a swimming posture, and started paddling like a dog. He wandered around Mao Xiaodong's solemn study, muttering to himself, "I was already in my early twenties when I was deceived by the old scholar. If I remember correctly, it took me three years to sneak out from my hometown in Aquarius Continent and travel to the back alleys of the Middle-earth Divine Continent where the old scholar lived. Time has been full of pits and hardships along the way. Unexpectedly, after three years, I have not been able to reap the benefits of all the hardships and achieve positive results. Instead, I have fallen into the biggest pit. I am worried every day. I am full and hungry. I am worried that one day the two of them will be together. I'm starving to death, can my mentality compare with mine now? Can you imagine me and the old scholar, carrying two small benches, hungry, sitting at the door basking in the sun, counting on our fingers what day the Cui family would have? The bleak situation of sending money? Can you imagine that there was a problem with the ferry, and the two of us dug up earthworms and went to the river to fish? Did the old scholar come up with that famous saying that makes the world's most grateful people? "

"So, the knowledge of the old scholar came from hunger. This is called writing and writing. Do you think how many good articles the old scholar produced after he became famous? Of course there are good ones, but in fact, no matter the quantity or the Generally speaking, his intentions are not as good as before he became famous. He has no choice but to do so. He is busy behind the scenes. He participated in debates among the three religions, was warmly invited by the academy’s grand ceremony, and the master of the academy cried and shouted asking him to preach and give lectures. His whole body was crushed, and then he ran to the other side of the sky, made trouble with the old man, begged others to chop him to death, and went to the bottom of the river of time to retrieve those broken cave heavens and blessed lands. These are still big things, and there are countless small things. Go to the wine of old friends Drinking and chatting in the shop, exchanging letters with people, and quarreling on paper, how can you have time to write an article?"

Mao Xiaodong snorted coldly, "Don't follow me here to show off your old history and bully your teachers and destroy your ancestors. You have the nerve to reminisce about your past school years."

Cui Dongshan hung in the air and wandered leisurely around the chair of Mao Xiaodong who was sitting upright. "Xiaodong, you have a good heart. You are afraid that I will work with the old bastard to plot against my husband, so you are busy in your heart." I'd like to ask for help for my husband. It's just that my academic foundation is a bit weak after all, but I still have to thank you. I, Cui Dongshan, am not the kind of scholar who talks sweetly and has a sword and a pen. I miss you. Okay, I’ll really help you kill that Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator, and the academy buildings won’t be damaged much. If you were to take charge of the academy, would that work? Can Donghua Mountain’s cultural fortunes be spared any damage?”

Mao Xiaodong chuckled and said, "Then I have to thank your parents for giving birth to such a kind person like you?"

Cui Dongshan turned his body to the position where he was facing up to drink water, and said angrily: "If we quarrel, we will quarrel, if we curse, we will curse. What kind of skill is it to involve our parents and ancestors?"

Mao Xiaodong clicked his tongue and said: "After you Cui Dongshan betrayed your master, you traveled alone to the Middle-earth Divine Continent. What kind of things did you do and what dirty words did you say? I don't know what you said? I only learned a little bit from you."

Cui Dongshan fell to the ground and said with a smile: "Xiaodong, you are not my disciple, why do you want to learn from me? If you are willing to spend money to learn, I don't mind teaching you. Otherwise, I tell you, if a scholar steals knowledge, it is also stealing!"

Mao Xiaodong suddenly stood up and walked to the window, frowning, and in a flash, Cui Dongshan disappeared with him.

The two of them stood on the big tree at the top of Donghua Mountain. Mao Xiaodong asked: "I can only vaguely feel some signs of uncertainty through the Sui Dynasty Wen Yun, but it is difficult to really pick them out. Do you know exactly who is behind the scenes? Can you name them?"

Cui Dongshan sat on a high branch and took out the dough made by the Mohist organ master with the help of Yin and Yang techniques. He couldn't put it down. It was really Shanze Yexiu's first-class magic weapon for killing and stealing. It would definitely sell for a sky-high price. As for Mao Xiaodong's question, Cui Dongshan laughed and said: "I advise you not to do anything unnecessary. I didn't deliberately target anyone, and I already gave you a lot of face. You, Mao Xiaodong, are not the Great Sui Emperor. Nowadays, Cliff Academy does not have the title of 'one of the seventy-two', Wan As soon as you meet a big brother who belongs to the "higher family" among all the disciples, and he acts according to the principles of his own lineage, if you bump into him and seek death yourself, the Academy of Middle-earth will not help you to avenge your grievances. Yes. It’s not like there have never been such tragic events in history.”

Mao Xiaodong sneered and said: "The Strategist family is naturally one of the top families, but that merchant is not even among the top 100 families. If the Li Sheng hadn't come forward to intercede, he would have been directly killed by the Ya Sheng lineage. Let’s remove him from the list of hundreds of families.”

Cui Dongshan said with emotion: "You only see the surface, but not the inside. Then have you ever thought about why the ceremonial saint who almost never shows up makes an exception? Do you think it is because the ceremonial saint is greedy for the money from merchants?"

Mao Xiaodong was furious, "Cui Dongshan, don't insult the virtuous saint!"

Cui Dongshan, who was rarely called by his first name by Mao Xiaodong, looked calm, "You, since you admire the Lisheng so much in your heart, why didn't you just change the family when the old scholar fell? The Lisheng lineage must have looked for you, why did you still do it? I want to follow Qi Jingchun to Dali and open an academy under my nose. Isn’t it disgusting for both of us? Why bother? If the context has changed, you, Mao Xiaodong, have long been in the real Yupu realm. There are rumors in the world, old In order to persuade you to take up a position in the Liji Academy, the scholar said, "Hurry up and get a seat at the Academy. If you don't do well in the future, I can at least go to your place to beg for food." Even this kind of words, the old scholar said You can tell me, but you won't go? What's the result? Today, in Confucianism, you, Mao Xiaodong, are just a sage, and you are not making progress on the road of cultivation, wasting hundreds of years."

Mao Xiaodong murmured: "Is the level of a person who practices Taoism important?"

Mao Xiaodong asked himself and answered: "Of course it is important. But for me, Mao Xiaodong's novels are not the most important, so it is not difficult at all to choose between them."

Cui Dongshan sighed: "Idiot."

Mao Xiaodong looked unkind, "You little bastard, can you say that again?!"

Cui Dongshan weighed it and felt that if there was a real fight, he would definitely be pushed to the ground by Mao Xiaodong who had taken back the jade token. In a small world, the magic weapons and formations of the Qi Practitioners were relatively restrained.

So Cui Dongshan changed the subject with a smile, "Do you really think there is no mystery among the Li envoys who attended the Sui Qiansou Banquet this time?"

Mao Xiaodong asked: "How to say?"

Cui Dongshan took out a folding fan with words on both sides, gently shook the breeze, "completely shatter the Gao family's luck, teach the Sui Dynasty to abide by the covenant, and stay in peace for a hundred years."

Mao Xiaodong asked doubtfully: "If the person behind this plan is as powerful as you say, would he be willing to sit down and have a good chat? Even Xie Shi, the Taoist Heavenly Lord from Luzhou, Beiju, may not have such weight, right? "

Mao Xiaodong nodded quickly and said: "The heroic Xu Ruo. It is really not easy for Xu Ruo to be able to convince the main line of the Mo family and his side branch to abandon their old grudges and put their full bets on Da Li."

Cui Dongshan shook his folding fan and said, "Xiaodong, I'm not praising you. You are getting smarter and smarter now. It's true that you have been with me for a long time. If you have been in Zhilan's room for a long time, you are naturally fragrant."

Mao Xiaodong glanced at Cui Dongshan and wrote the four characters "Conquer people with virtue" on the folding fan facing him.

Cui Dongshan also glanced at Mao Xiaodong, "Don't accept it?"

Mao Xiaodong smiled and said: "If you don't accept it, what should you say? Can you explain it to me?"

Cui Dongshan twisted his fingers and changed the side of the folding fan. There were four characters on it, which was probably the answer. When Mao Xiaodong saw it, he laughed and said, "I'll be beaten to death if you don't obey."

Mao Xiaodong used his sleeve to hit Cui Dongshan from the branch on the top of the mountain, and hit the little bastard directly into the lake on the mountainside.

I saw that Cui Dongshan, who was deliberately not hiding, was dressed in white and did not fall into the lake. Instead, he kept spinning, drawing circles, getting bigger and bigger, and finally the entire lake turned into snow-white. The scene is like a heavy snowfall, and the snow is heavy on the lake.

Cui Dongshan floated out of the lake and stood by the lake, admiring the beautiful scenery in front of him that was just in the summer but like the snow in the cold winter. He was smug and nodded: "Well done! I am convinced!"

————

Chen Ping'an came to Cui Dongshan's courtyard.

Zhu Lian had finished bandaging the wound. Apart from exuding a faint smell of blood, Zhu Lian was talking and laughing freely. He was sitting on the steps, talking to the two little devils Li Huai and Pei Qian about how thrilling and soul-stirring the battle was.

Lin Shouyi is trying to stabilize his mind and energy, which is relatively hard. He just goes in and out of the long river of time again and again. For any cultivator, as long as there are no root causes or legacy, it will be of great benefit, especially to help break through the situation in the future. Become a golden elixir earthly immortal.

Xie Xie's face was pale and she was seriously injured. It was more because her soul had been ups and downs with the flow of time and the little world. But instead of sitting on the green bamboo corridor to heal her injuries, she was sitting not far from Pei Qian, looking at Xiao Xie from time to time. The entrance of the courtyard.

Shi Rou was picked up from the broken floor by Yu Lu and lay flat in the corridor. She had already woken up, but there was a Lihuo Feijian repaired by Yuan Ying Sword "living" in her belly. It was causing the world to collapse, causing her abdominal cramps. , eagerly waiting for Cui Dongshan to return and rescue her from the sea of ​​suffering.

Li Baoping squatted next to "Du Mao" and asked curiously: "Pei Qian said I should call you Sister Shirou, why?"

Just as Shi Rou was about to speak, Li Baoping said considerately: "We can chat again after the flying sword in your belly escapes."

Shi Rou smiled bitterly and nodded.

Yu Lu was sweeping the courtyard with a broom, and his injured hand had been bandaged.

Chen Pingan breathed a sigh of relief.

When I came here, I saw the white deer belonging to the old master Zhao Shi on the road. After being restrained by the secret technique of the person behind the scenes, it was still lying there stiffly.

Chen Ping'an didn't dare to move it randomly and could only leave it to Cui Dongshan.

Chen Ping'an stopped next to Yu Lu, raised his hand, and held the hilt of the sword fairy behind him. The flesh and blood were blurred, and he applied the hemostatic herbs taken from the mountains and the raw meat plaster from the fairy family on the mountains. The familiar bandage was completed. Now Er shook his head at Lu and said with a smile: "Aren't we brothers?"

Yu Luxiao asked: "How did you get injured?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "It's embarrassing to say it, so let's forget it."

Chen Pingan turned to look at Li Baoping and Pei Qian, "If you continue to play with you, nothing will happen. But you still need to live here for the time being, in other people's homes. Remember not to be too secluded."

Li Huai said: "Chen Pingan, what are you talking about? Cui Dongshan is familiar with me. My friend, Li Huai, is your friend Chen Pingan, your friend, and Pei Qian's friend. Since everyone is My friend, it is right to keep to yourself."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Let's talk about your fallacy to someone else."

Li Huai suddenly turned his head and said to Pei Qian: "Pei Qian, do you think my theory makes sense?"

Pei Qian said decisively: "My master is right, it is wrong!"

Li Huai said sadly: "Pei Qian, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Regarding the morality of the world, didn't we agree to travel together in the world and dig for treasures? But we haven't even started to make big money in the world yet. Are you breaking up?"

Pei Qian chuckled and said, "After we finish eating, let's get together again."

Li Huai rubbed his chin, "It seems to make sense."

Chen Ping'an came to sit next to Lin Shouyi and asked softly: "How is it?"

Lin Shouyi sighed and laughed at himself: "When gods fight, ants suffer."

Chen Pingan said nothing more.

Lin Shouyi smiled and said: "When Cui Dongshan comes back, tell him that I will come here often in the future. Remember to pay attention to your wording. It's your wish. I can't disobey Master Cui Dongshan's order, so I came here."

Chen Pingan endured it. After all, there was still Xie present, so he did not reveal the truth that Cui Dongshan invited Lin Shouyi to come here to practice, and said, "It's no problem if you ask."

Lin Shouyi lowered his voice, "I owe him Cui Dongshan a favor. Sooner or later, it's up to him to decide. It's better to owe you a favor and I have to pay it back, but at least it's up to me to decide."

Chen Pingan said helplessly: "Are you bullying the weak and afraid of the strong?"

Lin Shou shook his head and said, "I call it bullying the good but not the evil."

Chen Pingan took off the sword gourd and drank the sweet rice wine inside.

Lin Shouyi asked: "The academy's library is pretty good. I'm familiar with it. If you want to go there to look for books next time, I can help lead the way."

Chen Pingan said: "I don't know how to go. I can't learn so much."

Lin Shou laughed angrily and said, "At least you nodded and agreed on purpose, asking me to return a small favor to you first. Why are you so ignorant of the ways of the world?"

Chen Pingan coughed, wiped the corners of his mouth, and turned his head, "Lin Shouyi, you entered a fake cliff academy and read fake sages' books for several years, right?"

Lin Shouyi laughed.

Pei Qian bumped Li Huai with his elbow and asked in a low voice: "My master and Lin Shouyi have such a good relationship?"

Li Huai didn't even raise his head, he was busy sticking his butt out and playing with his painted puppet, and said casually: "No, Chen Ping'an only has the best relationship with me, and he doesn't have a good relationship with anyone else."

Li Baoping silently came up behind Li Huai and kicked Li Huai until he fell to the ground.

Li Huai sat up with a sad face, "Li Baoping, if you keep doing this, I will drag Pei Qian to set up my own business. I will never recognize you as the leader of the martial arts alliance!"

Li Baoping curled his lips with disdain on his face.

Now Li Huai and Pei Qian, the former got the Donghuashan branch and the small helmsman of a certain school under the jurisdiction of the chief helmsman of Longquan County. He was just expelled. Later, Chen Ping'an came to the academy, and Li Huai was shameless. When he didn't get the lowest grade in his next class, Li Baoping showed mercy and restored Li Huai's status in the world.

As for Pei Qian, Li Baoping said that public and private matters must be kept separate. Pei Qian's qualifications are still relatively young and he can only rely on the small branch of the school at the bottom for the time being, and he is just a registered disciple. Pei Qian thought it was good, but Li Huai thought it was even better. He was one level higher than Pei Qian, the exiled princess, so that now Liu Guan and Ma Lian both became the leader of the martial arts alliance Li Baoping. The registered disciples under his command are just two classmates of Li Huai. The drunkard is not interested in drinking. Liu Guan, who is a ghost, is here because of the status of the Princess Pei Qian as a noble person in the world. As for the top tycoon of the Sui Dynasty. The wealthy Ma Lian blushed as soon as he saw Li Baoping and couldn't even speak clearly.

Cui Dongshan swaggered into the yard, holding the poor white deer's leg by his hand, and threw it casually into the yard.

The white deer seemed to have been broken by Cui Dongshan and restored its true nature as a spiritual creature. However, its energy had not yet been restored and it was slightly sluggish. It slid out of the courtyard and let out a whine.

There is nothing like the beauty of Yoyo Luming recorded in books.

Li Huai's eyes widened with a look of disbelief on his face, "Is this the white deer next to Old Master Zhao? Why did you steal Cui Dongshan? Is this what Pei Qian and I will eat tonight? It's not appropriate. Bar?"

Pei Qian almost drooled, wiped his mouth, and quickly winked at Li Huai.

Li Huai coughed a few times and said, "It's not impossible to eat roasted venison. I haven't eaten it yet."

Li Huai turned to Chen Pingan and shouted loudly: "Chen Pingan, you brought it with you, right?!"

Chen Ping'an smiled and scolded: "Eat venison? Do you want the academy master to make you eat a board and ruler for a whole year?"

Li Huai blinked, "Cui Dongshan stole it, Chef Zhu killed it, and you Chen Ping'an roasted it. I just couldn't help being greedy, and I encouraged Lin Shou to eat a few mouthfuls of venison. Is it illegal?" "

Cui Dongshan suddenly let out a sigh, squatted on the ground, looked at the white deer, and found that it was staring at Li Huai.

Li Huai also discovered this situation and felt that the white deer's eyes looked too much like a living person, so he felt guilty.

Bai Lu stood up unsteadily and walked slowly towards Li Huai.

Li Huai was so frightened that he peed his pants. He turned around and crawled towards the main room using his hands and feet.

The white deer jumped up to the green bamboo corridor and followed Li Huai into the house.

Chen Pingan looked at Cui Dongshan in confusion.

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "Sir, don't worry, it's Li Huai who is born with bad luck. Just sitting at home, good things will happen from the sky. This psychic white deer is very close to Li Huai. After Zhao Shi is found by Sui Dynasty, I will talk to that guy about this matter. I believe there will be an extra white deer in Shanya Academy in the future."

Chen Pingan touched his forehead.

As expected of Li Huai.

After a while, Li Huai rode on the white deer, laughed and left the main room, showing off to Li Baoping and Pei Qian: "Isn't it majestic?"

Li Baoping was too lazy to talk to him and sat next to his junior uncle.

Pei Qian nodded, a little envious, then turned to look at Chen Ping'an, and said pitifully: "Master, when can I have a little donkey?"

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "When you get to Longquan County in the future, I will help you look for something suitable."

Pei Qian smiled happily.

Cui Dongshan walked to Shi Rou. Shi Rou was already sitting in the corridor with her back against the wall. It was still difficult to get up. Facing Cui Dongshan, she was very afraid and did not even dare to raise her head and look at Cui Dongshan.

Cui Dongshan squatted down and moved so that his back was facing Chen Pingan.

He was about to say comforting words, and then do some small actions that made Shi Rou feel worse than death and unable to make a sound.

Shi Rou was horrified to find that she could no longer move and saw Cui Dongshan's sinister face with a sneer.

Fortunately, Chen Ping'an said something in the distance that fell into Shi Rou's ears, which was no different from the sound of nature, "Just take the sword, don't have extra hands and feet."

Cui Dongshan frowned and sighed.

Chen Pingan sat there and slowly drank wine, looking at the slightly crowded courtyard. Compared with the Sui Dynasty study tour, this time there were more Zhu Lian, Pei Qian, and Shi Rou, but there was one missing headgear. A swordsman in a bamboo hat and a sword.

Chen Pingan put away his thoughts, suddenly looked at Cui Dongshan's back and said, "I want to think about it again."

Cui Dongshan was concentrating on subduing the Lihuo Flying Sword that had begun to hide in the immortal's body, but he didn't seem to hear these words.
