Sword of Coming

As the owner of Luolu Mountain, Chen Ping'an, strangely enough, has never been to the mountain temple at the top of the mountain.

The conversation between the two of them was all about small talk and trivial matters.

For example, the repair results at the Immortal Tomb, the business of the two shops in Qilong Lane, the nest of chickens that Chen Pingan asked her to look after, and the native dog.

Close to the mountain temple.

Chen Pingan was about to speak.

Ruan Xiu stopped, turned around and looked into the distance, smiling: "I know what you want to say."

Chen Ping'an was sitting on the steps with a quiet expression. The steps where they were sitting were illuminated by the moonlight, and there were ancient trees on both sides of the road. Above the stone steps, the moonlight fell down the slope like a stream, and there were algae crisscrossing the water. The shadows of pines and cypresses make this scene feel like a dream.

Chen Pingan said calmly: "It seems that no matter what you say, it is wrong, but it is even worse not to say it. It is best that I am being sentimental. No one will be unhappy if a man is liked by a woman. This is human nature, even if many men have someone they like. The girl also deliberately got involved with her good girl. I can’t say that these men are wrong. I believe there are many men who enjoy this and even think it is a great thing. But this is not my Chen Pingan. It is human nature to do that. I am sorry for Ning Yao and I am sorry for you, Miss Ruan. But if I misunderstood Miss Ruan and was overly concerned, that is for the best. But even if I am angry with you, Miss Ruan, we will not be together in the future. Friends can't be made, so I still have to say it clearly today. Miss Ruan, you have helped me a lot over the years. I keep it in my heart. If I don't want to brag, even in front of Ning Yao, I will still tell you. She, Miss Ruan, is a little grateful for her kindness. As a human being, you must not forget your roots. In ten years or a hundred years, as long as it is something that should not be forgotten, you cannot forget it and you must pay it back if you can. Of course I like Miss Ruan, but that is not a man or a woman. Love, if it were the other way around, some of my words and deeds back then still caused Miss Ruan to misunderstand. The fault is not yours, but my fault, Chen Pingan. If so, what should I do..."

These words, like the stones in the stream, have no edge at all, but after all, they are just a hard stone, not the intertwined and floating algae, let alone the swimming fish playing in the water.

Ruan Xiu looked at the young man who was a little sad and guilty. She was also a little sad.

Why do you feel sad after finally returning to your hometown? Besides, it's because of her.

As for what he likes about love, Ruan Xiu is actually not as entangled as he thought. As for what is right or wrong, he doesn't even think about it.

I like you, and God can’t stop me.

I don’t like you, even if you are God.

What a simple thing.

This lazy girl even feels that if she really likes someone or not, it has nothing to do with that person.

But Ruan Xiu did not tell Chen Pingan these inner thoughts.

The road is not fought day by day.

Ruan Xiuan sat there quietly and asked, "What would have happened if you had seen me first instead of Miss Ning?"

Chen Pingan shook his head without any hesitation, "Miss Ruan can ask this, but I can't think so, so there will be no answer."

Ruan Xiu held her chin with both hands, looked into the distance, and murmured: "You are just like my father in this matter. My father is very stubborn and has never looked for my mother's reincarnation. After seeing her, she is no longer my real mother, not to mention that no one can recover the memory of her past life, so it is better not to see her, otherwise he will regret her who always lives in his heart, and also delay the woman around him. "

When it comes to Master Ruan, Chen Ping'an doesn't say anything.

Ruan Xiu turned around and smiled: "Didn't you bring any gifts when you returned to your hometown this time?"

Chen Ping'an said awkwardly: "How dare you bring a gift? If you don't explain clearly, won't there be more misunderstandings?"

Chen Ping'an immediately smiled with relief and said, "But I can bring you a gift for Miss Ruan from now on."

Ruan Xiu tilted her head, smiled, narrowed her moist eyes, and asked, "Why did you say it clearly?"

Chen Ping'an looked dull.

Hurry and re-organize it from beginning to end.

It stands to reason that if Miss Ruan doesn't like him, and if she really likes him a little bit, he has made it clear.

Ruan Xiu smiled and said: "Okay, it's just that you don't like me that way, and you're afraid that I like you that way. Then you feel embarrassed, and you're afraid that speaking frankly will make me embarrassed, adding insult to injury, and even your friends will be in trouble in the future. You can't do it, right? Don't worry, I'm fine. I won't lie to you. My liking is not what you think it is. You will understand later, or ask your disciple Cui Dongshan. In short, no No matter the delay, we will still be friends.”

Chen Pingan nodded. Miss Ruan's words were a bit convoluted, but she seemed to be more thorough than him.

Ruan Xiu said: "Does Miss Ning like you too?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "I like it."

Ruan Xiu hummed, "Chen Ping'an, why do you think so much? Why don't you think more about yourself?"

Chen Ping'an didn't know how to answer.

Ruan Xiu patted her knees and stood up, "Okay, that's it. I suddenly feel a little hungry. Let's go home for a midnight snack."

Chen Ping'an stood up and asked, "Why don't you go to my bamboo house? I have all the belongings for making midnight snacks. There are a lot of ingredients nearby, including dried fish and bamboo shoots, ham and bacon, and Many wild vegetables are ready-made. If you stew them in a pot, they should taste good and it doesn’t take much effort.”

Ruan Xiu smiled and said: "My father is still waiting at the foot of the mountain. I'm afraid he can't help but stew you for a midnight snack."

Chen Pingan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Ruan Xiu walked down the steps, turned around and said with a smile: "Don't give it away."

Chen Pingan said: "If you want to go down the mountain, just go to the fork in the road."

The two of them slowly descended the mountain together.

Ruan Xiu looked as calm as a god wandering through the woods at night.

Then the two went their separate ways, Ruan Xiu continued walking down the mountain, and Chen Ping'an walked on the road to the Bamboo Tower.

Chen Pingan suddenly remembered a beautiful sentence carved on a bamboo slip.

The stars and moon are bright, the bright river is in the sky, there is no sound around, the sound is among the trees.

Outside the mountain of desolation.

Wei Bo stood beside Ruan Qiong.

The man was sitting on a boulder.

Wei Bo smiled and said: "Mr. Ruan, you really don't want to look at Luopo Mountain? If it's inappropriate for me to be there, I can leave. I guarantee that I won't see or hear anything about the mountain or beyond."

Ruan Qiong drank his wine, shook his head and said, "I'm not so mean. I can't trust Chen Ping'an. How can I not trust my own daughter?"

Wei Bo was speechless.

If you, Ruan Qiong, are really trustworthy, why did you make this secret trip?

Ruan Qiong drank wine.

Wei Bo stood beside him.

Ruan Qiong asked: "Wei Bo, who do you think will be the emperor in the future?"

Wei Bo is not afraid of people listening. In the Beiyue realm, anyone who dares to do this will be deemed too long-lived.

As for the old man from Yang's pharmacy, he wouldn't care about this kind of thing.

Wei Bo thought for a while and said: "For the time being, it seems that both Song He and Song Jixian are possible. Of course, Song He is more likely. He has a deep foundation in both the government and the public and is more able to convince the public. As for Song Jixian, it is just The Ministry of Rites was a bit anxious and secretly bet on him, but no matter what, these are not important. After all, it only depends on the two decisions, and the empress’s words are useless. I think Song Changjing and Cui You will make unexpected choices in the end."

Ruan Qiong said: "Emperor Dali's move was a bit of a coincidence."

Wei Bo smiled and said nothing.

Ruan Qiong is the first-class worshiper of Da Li, and he is also the number one swordsmith of Aquarius Continent who everyone wants to please. He has friends all over the continent, and his "mother's family" is Fengxue Temple. The relationship between the two parties has never been broken. Yes, no one thinks that Ruan Qiong's relationship with Fengxue Temple has broken down. Otherwise, there would not be the figure of the Fengxue Temple Sword Immortal on the Dragon-Slaying Cliff, but Ruan Qiong would simply abandon Fengxue Temple. , directly split in half with Zhenwu Mountain.

He, Wei Bo, was the God of Landscapes conferred by the Song family of Da Li. He had some treacherous and arrogant words, so it was better not to say them at all.

It doesn't matter if we talk about the two princes. It's okay to talk about the vassal king and the imperial master. However, Wei Bo, the position of Beiyue Mountain God, was sealed by the late Emperor Dali himself. Wei Bo wanted to remember this sentiment, so about Song Zheng Whether it was mentioned by Ruan Qiong or the old Huang Tingguo dragon, Wei Bo remained silent about Chun's life and death.

In the distance, a figure of a woman in green clothes appeared. It seemed that she was not walking very fast, but the figure was floating towards her like blue smoke.

Ruan Xiu saw Ruan Qiong and Wei Bo, first nodded to Wei Bo, and then looked at her father, "Dad, what a coincidence, you are also out for a walk?"

Ruan Qiong nodded and threw away the empty wine bottle.

Wei Bo said goodbye knowingly.

Ruan Qiong's lips moved slightly, but in the end he just took out another jug ​​of wine from the nearby objects, opened the mud seal, and started drinking.

Ruan Xiu smiled and said, "I just met Chen Ping'an on Luolu Mountain."

Ruan Qiong said with a straight face, "What a coincidence."

As expected of a father and daughter.

Ruan Xiu picked it up and told her father the conversation between the two. The general meaning remains the same, but some wordings were slightly changed by Ruan Xiu.

Ruan Qiong took a big sip of wine, wiped his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Ping'an is blind? What's wrong with my daughter? She doesn't like it?! Who dares not to like the dog he lent to him?"

Ruan Xiu smiled and narrowed her eyes.

Ruan Qiong was extremely angry and drank heavily again. He was silent for a moment, "But this guy is still a kind man. Unlike many men, who always think about what's in the pot while eating what's in his mouth. I can't fault Chen Ping'an in this regard." Something wrong."

Ruan Qiong suddenly asked suspiciously: "Xiuxiu, could it be that this kid has been in the world for five years and has become more and more cunning, deliberately retreating in order to advance? So that I won't be wary of him?"

Ruan Xiu's eyes were a little disgusted, and she looked at her father without saying a word.

Ruan Qiong said angrily: "That boy shouldn't be so wicked."

Ruan Qiong asked strangely: "Xiu Xiu, aren't you unhappy at all? Xiu Xiu, tell the truth to dad, do you like Chen Pingan? Dad will ask you this time, and you won't ask again in the future, so you are not allowed to lie. .”

Ruan Xiu smiled and raised his hands, shaking them vigorously, "No."

Ruan Qiong was doubtful, "If dad and Chen Ping'an fight, who will you help?"

Ruan Xiu vowed: "Of course I will help dad."

Ruan Qiong was a little relieved.

He turned his head sharply.

Ruan Xiu's face was sincere and flawless.

"Go home early." Ruan Qiong felt relieved, stood up from the ground, and turned into a rainbow.

Ruan Xiu was still enjoying himself, walking alone in the mountains and forests, and finally came to a stream, where he squatted and picked up a handful of water. There was a bright moon in the water, broken and round.

Over at Luoluo Shanzhu Building, Chen Ping'an was just about to go sit alone at the stone table for a while, when the old man surnamed Cui reached out and grabbed him and pulled him into the room on the second floor.

Then the old man kicked him in the abdomen and hit the wall. Chen Pingan put one hand on the ground and turned around. Just as he was about to land and stand still, the old man hit his forehead with another punch. The bamboo building swayed and crashed. Sound.

This shows how powerful this punch is.

Chen Ping'an, who had received a severe beating for no apparent reason, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, cursed hard, and then said angrily: "You have the ability to fight five realms against five realms!"

The old man sneered and said: "Okay, let's exchange it for the gods and men of the five realms beating drums?"

Chen Pingan rushed forward with six steps.

The old man remained motionless, even holding one hand behind his back and extending the other hand casually forward, signaling Chen Pingan to just punch first.

Chen Ping'an took the sixth step and stepped heavily on the ground, his momentum was like a rainbow.

Then he made a sudden turn and rushed out of the unclosed bamboo door on the second floor. With a slight shout, the sword fairy flew out of its sheath, stepped on the sword, and flew straight into the sky, roaring away.

Hey Quan, Chen Pingan can accept it.

But tonight the old guy obviously took the wrong medicine, and seemed to be using him as a punching bag. This is not okay.

The barefooted old man did not immediately punch him down, but tsked: "How could a very slippery Qiu fall in love with a man and a woman, and become so confused? At such a young age, he has already lived a thousand lives and is nothing?" outrageous!"

The old man deduced silently in his mind for a moment, then he walked to the railing outside the house and punched out, exactly like the cloud steaming Daze style.

Chen Ping'an, who thought he had escaped, originally planned to spend the night admiring the moon in the sky, otherwise he would not be able to survive this day.

He never thought of punching the old man down with his sword.

Then he gave the old man a casual slap and pressed him gently.

If there is a powerful wind like a waterfall, pouring down from the sky, it will just happen to take Chen Pingan, who wants to continue to use his sword to control the wind, into the mountain forest.

Chen Pingan fell into a stream, causing a huge splash.

The stream was not deep, so Chen Pingan stood up unsteadily from the water and drove the sword fairy back to the sheath on his back.

As a result, he saw Ruan Xiu squatting by the stream, looking at him longingly.

Chen Pingan bent over, gasping for air, then wiped his face, and said helplessly: "What a coincidence, we meet again."

Ruan Xiu nodded.

When Chen Pingan was about to say something.

He was punched again for no reason and fell into the woods. A familiar voice roared: "Good boy, I know you are determined to be evil and will it never end?! You are addicted to thinking about my daughter, right? You even resorted to torture?! "

Another punch came.

The entire stream was cut in half by the "passing" fist.

Chen Ping'an had no choice but to continue to unsheath the sword fairy. He communicated with his mind and escaped with the sword, barely escaping the punch. From then on, dangers were everywhere.

Chen Ping'an even used the square inch talisman. While running for his life in a hurry, he muttered: "If we add Wei Bo, we can make up a table again."

Out of the corner of his eye, on top of a towering ancient tree, a man in white clothes stood floating, and said with a smile: "This is so embarrassing."

Wei Bo's voice was not loud, but Chen Pingan heard it clearly.

Chen Pingan crashed into the ripples. The next moment, he was standing on the top of Piyun Mountain filled with fairy spirit. He sat down on the ground with relief.

Fortunately, Wei Bo didn't add insult to injury.

On the other side of the stream, Ruan Qiong gently pressed Ruan Xiu's shoulder and disappeared in a flash, returning to the Longquan Sword Sect.

Ruan Qiong personally made a late-night snack. The father and daughter sat opposite each other, Ruan Xiu smiling broadly.

Ruan Qiong sighed in his heart.

It is better to be sad today than to give up in the future.

Over there at Piyun Mountain.

Wei Bo smiled and bent down, reaching out to help the exhausted Chen Ping'an to his feet.

Chen Ping'an smiled bitterly and said, "Tonight is just like a dream."

Wei Bo smiled and stretched out his palm.

A moment later, a blue bird swimming in the sea of ​​clouds at the top of Piyun Mountain suddenly fell into the hands of this god.

Wei Bo held the green bird in one hand, and gently waved his sleeve with the other hand. A white cloud futon appeared behind Chen Pingan.

Chen Pingan was sitting cross-legged on the futon.

Wei Bo raised his palm slightly, and the bird flew away and returned to the sea of ​​clouds.

Wei Bo said softly: "Chen Ping'an, based on the contents of the letters you sent to Piyun Mountain, plus Cui Dongshan's chat at Piyun Mountain last time, I found a clue to piece it together, one thing that may be your own Something strange that I didn’t even notice.”

Chen Pingan asked: "What's so strange?"

Ever since he learned Go from Cui Dongshan, especially when he arrived at Shujian Lake, reviewing the game has been one of the daily tasks of Mr. Chen Pingan, the accountant.

Wei Bo raised his eyes and looked into the distance. The sea of ​​clouds could not cover the sight of a mountain god. The Longxu River and Tiefu River were connected together, and further away were the Xiuhua River and Yuye River on the other side of Hongzhu Town. Wei Bo slowly Said: "The opportunity Ruan Xiu got in Lizhu Cave is like the fire dragon on the bracelet wrapped around his wrist, right?"

Chen Pingan nodded, this is the obvious truth.

Wei Bo added: "Since Mr. Qi gave you the landscape seal, the mountain seal collapsed in the battle of Jiaolonggou, leaving only one water seal. First, I met you at the beautiful and high-wind mansion on the bank of the Xiuhua River. A married woman ghost, later in Tongyezhou, you had a fate with the buried river water goddess. In Qingluan Kingdom, before going to the Lion Garden, it is said that you inscribed on the wall of a water temple. That of Ziyang Mansion in Huangting Kingdom Along the way, I have met the Baihu River Water God with ulterior motives. Regardless of good or bad fate, it is still fate. On the other hand, among the mountain and water gods, there are only a handful of mountain gods besides me. At least in your mind, even if you pass by, you will have an impression. It’s not deep, right? Especially in Shujian Lake in the past few years, how long have you been living near the water? It’s been a long time, right?”

Chen Pingan thought carefully and nodded.

"Have you forgotten who that little loach chose first?! It was you, Chen Ping'an, not Gu Can!"

Wei Bo smiled miserably, "Then have you ever thought that you are so 'water-loving' and Ruan Xiu? Is there any more natural dispute between water and fire than this?"

Chen Ping'an was stunned.

Wei Bo sighed.

Chen Pingan suddenly laughed and pointed at the swordsman behind him, "Don't worry, if there really is a battle between water and fire, I will just give way to Miss Ruan. The reason is very simple. I am a swordsman, and I, Chen Pingan, have the right to fight." , is on the road to martial arts, traveling far and wide with a sword, throwing the hardest punches, passing the fastest swords, drinking with reasonable people, punching and passing swords when injustices happen..."

The young man who was almost "shabby" has never been so energetic in several years. "I hope that one day, when I, Chen Pingan, stand somewhere, the truth will be somewhere!"
