Sword of Coming

After leaving Yang's drug store and going to the old school that was neither abandoned nor in use, Chen Ping'an stood outside the window with an umbrella and looked inside.

There seems to be the sound of reading in my ears, just like when I was young, squatting by the wall and listening to my teacher's lecture.

After leaving the school, he went to the new school founded by Chen in Longwei River, which was far bigger than the old school. Chen Pingan stopped outside the archway building, turned around and left.

Walking through the place commonly known as Crab Fang in his hometown, Chen Ping'an looked up and walked around, seeing four plaques written by saints, which is true to Confucianism. The Buddhists don't ask outside, the Taoists hope to be natural, and the military strategists bullfight with anger.

After the Li Zhu Cave sky shattered and fell, the Great Li court used secret techniques to rub the words layer by layer, stripping away all the energy and spirit that once contained in the words. It is unknown who will be the winner of these opportunities.

During this period, he looked up at the word "Xi" and thought of what Cui Dongshan said in the letter. Chen Pingan's eyes were dim and unclear, and his thoughts were wandering.

After that, we passed the iron-locked well, which was now purchased by a private person and became a forbidden area. Local people were no longer allowed to draw water, and a low fence was built around the outside.

Chen Ping'an then thought of the young man from Fengweidu who got the iron chain, a disciple of Liu Laocheng from Gongliu Island, a tall, gentle young man in black. Not only did he feel that way, but even Pei Qian thought that young man was a good person. , he must be a really good person. Later, the reason why Chen Pingan dared to venture to Gongliu Island was thanks to him. He always felt that Liu Laocheng, the wild cultivator who could teach such a disciple, would not be so bad. Facts have proved that Chen Pingan was right in his bet, but The intrigue with Liu Laocheng still makes Chen Pingan feel frightened every time he thinks about it afterwards.

Chen Ping'an suddenly laughed. For some reason, standing outside the fence and looking at the well at this moment was a bit like standing on Xuanxuan Mountain and looking at the "Tianmen" leading to the Great Wall of Jianqi from a distance. There was a A man with a sword sitting on the top of the stone monument, a little Taoist boy sitting on a futon reading a book, Chen Ping'an traveled far and wide, and felt that the only place that could compete with the town at his feet, Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, was probably Xuanxuan Mountain, which is the largest in the world. The seal with the word "mountain" is exactly Dao Laoer's grandiose work.

Chen Pingan looked up at the sky.

After retracting his gaze, he went to take a look at the two civil and military temples dedicated to the ancestors of the Yuan and Cao surnames respectively. One was located in Lao Ci Mountain and the other was located in the Immortal Tomb. They were both very particular.

Chen Pingan did not go near the ancestral temple, especially the old porcelain mountain that he had not visited often since he was a child. It was very far away. However, Chen Pingan spent a long time strolling around the newly renovated immortal tomb. There were many statues of Bodhisattvas and Tianguan gods. The skilled craftsmen of Dali have been renovated and re-erected one by one as if they were old. However, it has not yet been completely completed. There are still many craftsmen busy on the tall wooden frames.

It is said that the Dali imperial court plans to continue to expand the Wenwu Temple, and then place Buddhist Bodhisattvas and Taoist heavenly officials in a temple respectively. By then, the Wenwu Temple here, although it is a county ancestral temple, will be the most magnificent in the entire Dali. The spectacular Man Mo Temple will surely be in full bloom at that time, with an endless stream of dignitaries coming to burn incense and worship the gods.

It was actually Chen Ping'an who entrusted Ruan Xiu to help with the money to repair the statues and build sheds. However, it was soon handed over by the Dali government. After that, no private intervention was allowed. Three of the statues that had collapsed were Chen Pingan also threw in three gold and copper coins back then. Although Chen Pingan is in urgent need of this now, he has no intention of pursuing clues. If it is still there, it is fate and three pieces of incense love. If it is given to children and villagers, They bumped into each other accidentally and became their unexpected fortune, which was considered fate. However, Chen Ping'an thinks that the latter is more likely. After all, in the past few years, local people have gone to the mountains and rivers, rummaged through boxes and cabinets, and scraped the ground to find ancestral treasures and treasures of heaven and earth, and then took them to Niujiao Mountain Baofuzhai to sell them. Exchange money, then go to Longquan County to buy a luxurious mansion, add maids and servants, and live a comfortable life that they could never dream of before.

Chen Ping'an didn't think that it was wrong for them to do this. He just felt that even if they wanted to sell it, they should sell it later, and the price would only be higher. It is also an immortal artifact. If it is sold a few years later, it may double several times. .

Why did Niujiaoshan Baofengzhai, like the Xu family in Qingfeng City, take the initiative to withdraw from Longquan County, abandon a costly Xianjia ferry, and make wedding clothes for the Dali Song family in vain?

At first, Chen Ping'an felt that Baofengzhai had made a mistake in betting on the Zhu Ying Dynasty. Now it seems that it was most likely that he had purchased too many small town treasures at low prices and had earned too much fairy money. It got to the point where even Baofengzhai felt sorry for himself, so when the situation in the central part of Aquarius Continent became clear, Baofengzhai weighed the pros and cons and used an Xianjia ferry to build shops everywhere in exchange for an amulet from the Great Li cavalry, which was equal to peace. The Song family of Dali continued to burn incense. In the long run, Baofengzhai might even earn more.

Chen Pingan felt that his idea was probably the truth.

Doing side business with officials can bring in money quickly, but it’s also not the right way. As for how to do business that is not biased towards wealth, Chen Ping'an is naturally not clear about it now. I think Sun Jiashu of Laolongcheng and Liu Chongrun of Zhuchaidao know the rules better and can ask about it if there is an opportunity in the future.

The layout of the Immortal Tomb has changed a lot. When I revisit my old place, I can't go to many of the places I want to go. However, there are pavilions and observation decks in places that I couldn't go in the past.

Chen Pingan rested in a small pavilion with raised eaves.

Among the many helpers of the craftsmen, there were many survivors of the Lu family who migrated to Longquan County. Chen Pingan had seen many prisoners in those years. Because of the construction of the mountain temple and the burning incense shrine in Luolu Mountain, there were prisoners. Compared with those years ago, , the group of survivors who are busy doing chores in the Immortal Tomb now are mostly teenagers and young adults. They still don't speak much, but they don't have the earliest despair, probably year after year, in the hard days, Each of them had a little hope.

Yu Lu, thank you. He is a subjugated prince of the Lu family and a proud son of the Immortal Family on the mountain. He cannot be said to have slipped through the net. In fact, he is a chess piece selected by Cui Han and Empress Dali respectively, and there was a behind-the-scenes deal. , as a result, they both became students of Sui Cliff Academy today. Yu Lu and Gao Xuan had a very good relationship, and they were a bit like brothers in need. One was in exile, and the other was serving as a hostage in an enemy country.

As for thank you, I was really bullied by Cui Dongshan in the past few years.

But just as the old man surnamed Cui would not interfere in the affairs of Chen Ping'an and Pei Qian, Chen Ping'an would not point fingers just because he was Cui Dongshan's "sir".

How to show kindness to others is a big question.

Not "I think" can make up for all the consequences of doing bad things with good intentions.

The landscape of the place where Ma Kuxuan fought had changed drastically, and outsiders were no longer able to set foot there. Wei Bo mentioned that there are no taboos in visiting Shenxian Tomb and Lao Ci Mountain during the day, but at night the great monks of the Yin Yang Family and the Moh Family will appear, set up formations, and be responsible for implicating the water transportation of the mountains and roots. It is not suitable at that time. Night trip.

Chen Pingan felt a little regretful that he could not return to the "battlefield site" where he fought Ma Kuxuan. He walked slowly along a familiar route that often appeared in his dreams. Chen Pingan walked halfway, squatted down, and grabbed He picked up a handful of soil and stayed for a while before starting again and went to the sword-making shop that had not been moved to Shenxiu Mountain together. I heard that a woman who was expelled from Fengxue Temple recognized Ruan Qiong as her master. While cultivating and guarding the "ancestral property", he even cut off the thumb of the hand holding the sword, just to prove to Ruan Qiong that he had made a break with the past. Chen Pingan walked slowly along the Longxu River, destined to not find a snake gallstone. The opportunity was fleeting, but Chen Pingan still had a few high-quality snake gallstones, five or six. ? On the other hand, ordinary snake gallstones were originally numerous, but now there are not many left.

Chen Pingan did not just return to Luolu Mountain, but crossed the stone arch bridge that had long been removed and restored to its original appearance, and went to find the small temple. There were many names written on the walls of the temple back then, including him. Chen Ping'an, Liu Xianyang and Gu Can, the three of them got together and wrote on a blank space at the top of the wall. Liu Xianyang stole the ladder, and Gu Can brought the charcoal from home. As a result, when I walked over there, I found that the small temple for people to rest was gone. It seemed that it had never appeared before. Only then did I remember that it seemed to have been taken into the possession of Old Man Yang. I just don’t know what’s going on here.

Returning to the Longxu River, Chen Pingan went down the river. The road on the opposite side had been widened into one of the post roads in Longquan County. It was once the road that Chen Pingan took to leave his hometown for his first trip. At the earliest, there were only Followed by a little girl in a red cotton jacket.

He took care of the little girl all the way through green mountains and green waters.

But in fact, it was not the little girl who silently supported the state of mind of the boy with mud-legged uncle, that allowed him to travel to a foreign country and never gave up.

Chen Ping'an passed by a water god temple that had been adopted as an orthodox temple by the Dali court. It had almost no incense and a strange status. It seemed that it only had a golden body and a temple. It was not as good as the prostitution temples in other countries because there was not even a decent piece of it. There is no plaque, and few people have figured out until now whether this is a river temple, or a Hepo Temple with the lowest shrine. On the contrary, the Jiang Temple further down the Tiefu River is extremely spectacular. The people in the small town would rather walk more than a hundred miles to burn incense and pray for Jiang Shen Empress. Of course, there is another most important reason. I heard from the old people in the town that the statue of the empress in the ancestral temple looks too much like an old lady in Xinghua Lane when she was young. The old people, especially the old women in the streets, always look like If you have the chance, talk to the juniors loudly and don't burn incense, as it can easily attract evil spirits.

Chen Pingan did not enter the temple, but continued down, planning to go all the way to the Tiefu Jiangjiang Temple.

Tiefu River is now a first-class river in Dali, and the gods are revered, so the ritual standards are extremely high, much higher than Xiuhua River and Yuye River. If Longquan was not the county now, otherwise Wu would not be the governor. Kite, instead, should be the governor of the feudal official, who comes here in person every year to pay homage to the River God and pray for good weather and no drought or flood for the people under his jurisdiction. On the other hand, for the two rivers of Xiuhua and Yuye, it is enough for the local eunuch to visit the river temple in person. Occasionally, when business is busy, it is not an offense to ask the subordinate officials to pay tribute.

After Chen Pingan walked away, in the ancestral temple without a plaque behind him, the clay statue with faded incense rippled and filled with mist, revealing the face of a young woman. She sighed and frowned.

There was almost no incense, so she couldn't help but blame everyone. After scolding for a while, she lost the energy she used to curse people in Xinghua Lane. It was really a cure for all diseases.

Chen Pingan quickened his pace and walked faster and faster.

Finally, I finally started walking the six-step stance. It has been three years since I put down the three fist stances of Shanshan Pu without practice, so I am a little rusty.

According to the expert opinion of the old man surnamed Cui, Chen Ping'an's physical condition is now good or bad. The good thing is that he has a martial arts physique. He has been dormant in Shujian Lake for three years and is still in good condition. The Huolong Master from Luzhou, Beiju, "pointed" three times in the air, which was of great benefit. Otherwise, Chen Ping'an would have really walked into Qingxia Island and left Shujian Lake lying down.

Just one path of cultivating Taoism can be said to lead to many misfortunes. After the golden gallbladder was broken, the sequelae were extremely serious. Originally, the natal object belonging to the Five Elements was created as the key to rebuilding the Changsheng Bridge.

The higher the rank, the more closely related they are. After the collapse, the higher they climb, the harder they fall. This point, similar to what the old man named Cui said about the swordsman's demeanor he witnessed time and time again, would poke big holes in Chen Ping'an's state of mind, and it would be even more difficult to rebuild after being broken. Therefore, it became urgent to refine the third natal item quickly.

Therefore, Cui Dongshan changed his original intention in the secret letter left in Zhulou and suggested that Mr. Chen Ping'an should choose the soil of Dali New Five Mountains that Chen Ping'an had given up as the natal object of the Five Elements. Cui Dongshan did not To explain the reason in detail, I only said that I asked my husband to trust him once. As the "National Master" of Da Li, once the entire Aquarius Continent is annexed and becomes the territory of Da Li, he will naturally have a good idea of ​​which five mountains to choose as the new Five Mountains. For example, Longquan County of Da Li's native land, Piyun Mountain will be promoted to Beiyue, the entire Great Li, the number of people who knew about this matter, including the late Emperor Song Zhengchun, could only be counted on one hand.

Zhongyue is the old Zhongyue of the Zhu Ying Dynasty. Not only that, the great mountain god who was forced to change his temple due to the general situation was still able to maintain the golden body of the temple and made a step forward to become a continental mountain. In return, this "intact" god must help the Song family of Dali to stabilize the landscape and destiny of Xinheshan. Any monk within the jurisdiction can not only be protected by Zhongyue, but must also be restrained by Zhongyue. , otherwise, don’t blame the Great Li Iron Cavalry for turning its back and disowning its people, even taking away its golden body.

Mohist hero Xu Ruo took charge of this matter personally and was stationed near the mountain temple.

Ruan Qiong will also leave Longquan County by then and go to the top of Xinxiyue Mountain, which is not too far away from Fengxue Temple. The new Huashan Mountain, named Ganzhou Mountain, has never been included in the local Five Mountains. This time it can be regarded as a step to the sky.

And a group of big Litou and other worshipers, all of whom are earthly immortal monks such as Jindan and Yuanying, will go to the new Dongyue Mountain called Qishan to patrol the border together to prevent the subjugated monks who are stubbornly resisting in various places from infiltrating. , regardless of life, but also to destroy the local landscape.

As for Nanyue, Fan Junmao will be the righteous god of the mountains there.

As for the location of Dali New Nanyue, Cui Dongshan kept it secret, saying that he can wait and see, and then he will understand what it means to "build a mountain by accumulating soil."

So Cui Dongshan confessed in the letter that he would take this opportunity to dig up soil from the roots of the other four new mountains early. Can the matter of scholars be called stealing? Besides, even if Mr. is still unwilling to choose mountain five-color soil in the end as the next natal item, baskets and baskets of rare soil should be filled with at least one square inch item. This is a big sum of money. Since the supervision is not strict now, don't give up. As for Beiyue Wei Bo's side, sir, you and he are wearing the same pair of trousers anyway, why are you so polite?

Chen Ping'an had arrived at the majestic Jiangshen Temple before he knew it.

The incense here is always so strong that it can’t be compared to the Buried River Temple. There are still more than a thousand pilgrims waiting outside in the middle of the night, waiting to enter the temple to burn incense. After all, there are still few people in Longquan County. When Longquan is promoted from a county to a state, the Dali court continues to When immigrants come here, they can fully imagine the lively scene of this Dalijiang Temple.

Chen Ping'an hesitated for a moment and walked into it. The ancient cypresses were dense and gloomy, most of them transplanted from the mountains in the west.

When he arrived at the main hall, Chen Pingan crossed the threshold and looked up at the painted clay statue. It was four feet high and lifelike, with colorful ribbons lingering around it, as if it was about to soar.

The height of the golden statue largely represents the ranking of a deity in the pedigree of a country's court.

Like the temple that Chen Pingan passed by earlier, the statue was no more than a foot high.

Chen Pingan knows the secrets here.

This Empress of the River God, whose real name was Yang Hua, was once the personal maid of Empress Dali. She held an ancient sword with long golden spikes in her arms, but later, for unknown reasons, she gave up her human body and died as a god, becoming the deity of this river. He endured great pain in the water and molded the golden body of the god, which caused strange phenomena. The golden body was of extremely high quality, which made the Dali court attach great importance to it. They first raised the river to the river, and then directly promoted the water goddess to the river. The highest position among gods.

Chen Ping'an neither invited incense to burn incense nor made any gesture of respect. After staying for a while, he left the main hall, walked out of the vast ancestral temple, and returned the same way.

From the beginning to the end, the atmosphere in Jiangshen Temple was silent, except for the lingering scent of incense.

Chen Pingan did not bother Wei Bo this time. When he walked back to Luolu Mountain, it was already the dusk of the second day. During this period, he also visited several hills along the way. He got several bags of gold and copper coins. Ruan Qiong suggested that he buy the hills. Chen Ping'an traveled around the mountains alone with the map drawn by the Kiln Supervision and Construction Office, and finally selected five mountains including Luolu Mountain and Zhenzhu Mountain. Thinking about it now, it feels like a lifetime ago.

After Chen Ping'an climbed the mountain, he first went to the bamboo tower. A monk could run away but he couldn't run away from the temple. He couldn't hide from the old man every day. Besides, even if the old man really wanted to beat him, he couldn't hide.

Chen Ping'an wrote several letters on the first floor, intending to send them to Shanya Academy, Qingxia Island, Liu Zhimao and Gu Can, and the villa where Song Yushao from Shushui Country was located. Among them, he wanted to help deliver the letter to Gu Can. The message was given to Liu Chongrun of Zhuchaidao. As for the Feijian summons sent to Liu Zhimao, it mentioned the situation of Hongsu, the female official of the Spring Court House.

Liu Zhimao survived the catastrophe, and now he has not only walked out of the Gongliu Island Water Prison safely and returned to Qingxia Island, but also transformed into a new person. Like Liu Laocheng, he has become a worshiper of the Jade Guizong, and ranks third. The many forces in Shujian Lake that made trouble for Qingxia Island back then are probably going to suffer. As for the disciples and worshipers on Qingxia Island, they are probably more likely to suffer. For example, that smart man who made all his plans based on the fact that Master Liu Laocheng must die, Mr. Tian Hujun, a golden elixir monk from Sulin Island, will probably be at risk.

So the old saying about keeping a thin line in life still makes sense.

The last letter was written to Zhong Kui of Taiping Mountain in Tongyezhou. It needed to be sent to Old Dragon City first and then sent to the cross-continental flying sword. For the rest of the letter, there is a sword house at the Niujiao Mountain ferry. Within a continent, as long as it is not too remote or a mountain with too weak power, it can be reached smoothly. It's just that Jianfang Feijian is now firmly controlled by the Dali military, so it is still necessary to pull Wei Bo's banner. If there is no other way, Ruan Qiong will naturally not have to do so. In the end, it is still Luoposhan. Not yet established.

I wrote letters one after another, found Pei Qian and Zhu Lian, and asked them to send them to Niujiao Mountain.

Pei Qian was in high spirits.

I just want to call the boy in green and the girl in pink skirt to go on the road together. Having fun alone is not as good as having fun together.

However, Chen Pingan called them back, and Pei Qian had no choice but to go down the mountain with the old cook. However, he asked the master if he could hold the horse, and Chen Pingan said yes, and Pei Qian walked out of the yard in a swagger.

I originally thought that I would only be able to ask my master for a little donkey next time I ventured into the world. I never thought that I would be able to ride a big horse now. Why don’t I stop being in the world in the future? Riding a horse and wandering around Luopo Mountain is not considered a career in the world. ? She doesn't have to meet so many bad people she doesn't like, she can run back to Luolu Mountain when she's hungry, and she doesn't have to worry about food or clothing. This kind of world is like a small one, but she likes it very much.

Zheng Dafeng is no longer on the mountain. He said he went to Longquan County to settle some accounts, and then came to live in Luopo Mountain. It is estimated that Zheng Dafeng owed a lot of debt to the restaurant and inn, not to borrowing money from Zhu Lian. As for not paying it back yet, God knows when.

The girl named Cen Yuanji was standing in the yard at that time, at a loss what to do, her face flushed, and she did not dare to look at the young mountain master of Luo Mountain.

Of course, Chen Pingan would not mind that misunderstanding. To be honest, at first he was being sentimental and mistakenly thought that Zhu Lian had hit the mark. He did not want to give the innocent girl a blow in the head soon. Chen Pingan was still a little disappointed.

It's not that Chen Ping'an is really flirtatious, but what man in the world doesn't like that he looks upright and not annoying?

Chen Ping'an did not deliberately ignore Cen Yuanji. He once again repeated what he said at the door of Cen's house in Longquan County. Now that we have arrived at Luopo Mountain, we must have rules to practice martial arts here. It is best to ask Zhu Lian about them one by one first. Clearly, as long as you do and say something within the rules, there will be no taboos. And even if you are punished in the future and you feel that you are not wrong, you don’t have to worry. You can go to Chen Pingan directly to reason with him, and no one will stop him. , as long as she is right, Chen Ping'an will recognize her reason.

Cen Yuanji nodded in a daze, but still didn't speak.

She was relieved and worried at the same time. What she was relieved about was that Luopo Mountain was not a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. What she was worried about was that except for the old immortal Zhu, how could anyone from the young mountain master, the mountain master's founding disciple, to the pair of little bookboys in green clothes and pink skirts, be with Cen Yuan? In Ji Xin's eyes, the people who practice Taoism on the mountain are far behind. The only "Wei Bo" who best fit her image of an immortal turned out not to be the monk on Luo Luo Mountain.

As for the old man named Shi Rou, he doesn't like to talk and is even more weird. He makes people look at him.

Cen Yuanji sighed in his heart, no matter what, he should just practice martial arts with peace of mind.

Chen Pingan took the boy in green and the girl in pink skirt to the stone table on the cliff side of the bamboo building.

The girl in pink skirt sat next to Chen Ping'an, facing north, so that she would not block her husband's view to the south.

The boy in Tsing Yi sat opposite Chen Pingan. When he reached out, the girl in pink skirt took out a handful of melon seeds. After spending a long time with Pei Qian, who likes to eat melon seeds the most, she looked a bit like a melon seed vendor.

Chen Ping'an said sternly: "It's not a problem that you still don't have a formal name. In the future, there may be a sect in Luopo Mountain, maybe even the Ancestral Master Hall. But you'd better hide your birth names yourself. I I haven’t asked you all these years, and I won’t ask you in the future. Even if Luopo Mountain becomes a real mountain of cultivation in the future, I won’t ask you for anything. I can leave my words here now. Whoever talks nonsense in the future will use this to talk about things. , you tell me, I will talk to him. But in the future, there must be names that can be recorded on the genealogy of the Patriarch Hall, so do you have any pseudonyms that you like?"

The so-called natal names of the monsters and monsters in the mountains, rivers and lakes must be carefully carved somewhere in the heart, heart, or mind.

Especially after turning into a human form, this name is indispensable, which is equivalent to "telling the world", just like the title of the founding of the country.

It is said secretly on the mountain that if the spirits and monsters do not want to be "recorded", they will be squeezed out by the great road of the world and suffer constant ups and downs. Many mountain and river spirits who are far away from the human world are not familiar with this way. The reason why it is extremely difficult to achieve enlightenment is that no one told them about it on the way to practice. As a result, they have remained nameless for hundreds of years, stumbling around, slowly breaking through, and not being recognized by the vast world. This is the fundamental reason. one of the reasons.

But once the true name is mastered by the monks, the monsters will have a big handle on them.

Therefore, Chen Ping'an never asked the boy in green and the girl in pink skirt about their real names.

Chen Pingan suddenly smiled and said confidently: "If you don't think well about it yourself, it doesn't matter. I will help you choose a name. I am good at this."

The boy in green, who was still shaking his head while eating melon seeds, dropped the melon seeds on the table as if struck by lightning. He put his hands on the stone table and wailed: "I can't help it! I can think of a name by myself, sir." You’ve already worked so hard, so don’t bother yourself anymore…”

Even the girl in the pink skirt who was closest to Chen Pingan, with her cute little pink face, began to look stiff.

Chen Pingan glanced at the boy in green and then at the girl in pink skirt, "You really don't need my help? There is no shop like this after passing this village. Don't regret it."

The kid in green clothes quickly rubbed his cheeks and muttered: "Damn it, I'll live for the rest of my life."

The girl in the pink skirt was afraid that her master would be sad, so she pretended not to be so happy, with a sullen pink face.

Chen Ping'an still refused to give up and asked tentatively: "I came up with many names on my way back home, why don't you guys listen to them first?"

The boy in green clothes was about to cry: "Sir, I heard that a scholar's knowledge will be lost as soon as it is used up. The four swords, the first and the fifteenth day of the lunar month, are used to subdue demons and demons. Master, your knowledge and talents should have been almost used up." Ah, just use it sparingly."

The kid in green clothes knocked his head on the stone table, pretending to be dead, but he was really bored. Occasionally he reached out to grab a melon seed, tilted his head slightly, and secretly ate it.

Chen Pingan sighed, "Okay, if you regret it, just tell me."

The boy in Tsing Yi put his face against the table and made a face at the girl in pink skirt.

The girl in pink skirt covered her mouth and smiled.

Chen Pingan smiled gently and rubbed her little head.

On the way back home, Chen Pingan rode on horseback, looking through the bamboo slips one after another and carefully browsing the beautiful words on them, just to give these two little guys good names.

It's a pity that there is no place for heroes.

After talking about business, the two little guys got up to say goodbye and ran quickly.

Chen Pingan laughed dumbly.

Sitting there, there were still uneaten melon seeds left on the table by the boy in green. He picked them up one by one and ate the melon seeds alone.

To sign a mountain contract with the Song family of Dali, the imperial court will dispatch a Minister of Rites.

Chen Ping'an clapped his hands and took out the real amulet of the Day and Night God, with some hesitation.

Wei Bo said that although the Li family in Fulu Street had a rich background, the ancestor of the Li family had to forcefully break through the golden elixir bottleneck and become Yuanying in one fell swoop, which cost a lot of family wealth. Moreover, this Nascent Soul monk, who is "extremely young" compared to outside monks, got used to the small world in his early years after the restriction of Lizhu Cave Heaven was broken. The benefit he received back then has now returned to the big world, but it is a disaster. The foundation is too shallow and the realm is too high, resulting in a dangerous situation of seawater intrusion. It is necessary to spend fairy money to build a dam to prevent the continuous invasion of evil and turbid air.

In addition, the Li family has now taken over a large house owned by a descendant of a down-and-out prince in the capital of Li. The expenses are huge, so the Li family is really short of money now.

The four major surnames and ten major families in Fulu Street and Taoye Lane in the original town have changed drastically.

Some have moved out and have not been heard from since, and some have gone silent, either because they were gathering momentum or because of unknown behind-the-scenes planning. Some families that were not included in the list back then, for example, had a long-browed child. The Xie family of Taoye Lane is now one of the leading wealthy families in Taoye Lane due to the ancestor of Xie Shi, Tianjun of Luzhou, Beiju.

On the second floor, the old man said: "Let's start practicing boxing tomorrow."

Chen Ping'an responded, stood up, and went to the small pond behind the bamboo building. The water in the pond was crystal clear. After Wei Bo opened up this small pond, the source of the living water was not simple. It came directly from Piyun Mountain. After that, he would Golden lotus seeds were thrown into it.

Chen Pingan squatted aside, stretched out his hand and patted the ground gently, and said with a smile: "Come out."

A little lotus flower emerged from the ground without any mud on his body. He giggled, pulled Chen Pingan's green shirt, and suddenly sat on Chen Pingan's shoulders.

Chen Ping'an has already told Wei Bo to help take care of the little lotus. Wei Bo's eyes were dazed at that time and he just nodded.

After looking at the small pond for a while, of course I couldn't see a single flower.

Chen Pingan stood up and took the lotus figure to the first floor, which was Chen Pingan's official residence.

Many objects are left here. When Chen Ping'an is not at Luoluo Mountain, the girl in pink skirt will clean it spotlessly every day, and the child in Tsing Yi is not allowed to enter casually.

Chen Ping'an sat at the table and smiled suddenly. He was still wearing a green shirt, so he wanted to be the accountant again? Take a careful inventory of your current possessions?

The little lotus man jumped on the table and started running around to check whether the objects and books on the table were arranged neatly. He looked at them meticulously and moved them gently if they were slightly uneven. The little guy was very busy.

Chen Ping'an suddenly caught a glimpse of a seal box on the table. After opening it, he found a private seal inside. He had not taken it with him on several trips, but he accidentally found it. It was probably the treasure of Luoluo Mountain today.

Chen Pingan raised the seal high and engraved three words on it.

Chen Shiyi.

Chen Ping'an kept looking at the three small ancient seal characters.

Chen Pingan laid the seal across the table, resting his chin on his folded arms, staring at the seal characters at the bottom of the seal.

Chen Pingan sat up, twisted his wrist, controlled his mind, "taken out" the water mark of the natal object from the natal water palace, and gently put it aside.

The two seals were finally no longer alone.

Chen Pingan lay down on the table again and said to himself: "I hope that one day, when someone tries to reason with me for being unreasonable, he will first ask me about my boxing and sword, and I won't answer. But now my boxing skills are not very good, and my swordsmanship is not good either." No, it’s already halfway through the ten-year agreement, what should I do?”

At this moment, the sword fairy in the scabbard behind his back was like a dragon that made an eye, sounding on the wall.
