Sword of Coming

In the past, the mountains to the west were sparsely populated, with only woodcutters burning charcoal and kiln workers digging earth. Nowadays, fairy mansions occupy the top of the mountain, including Niujiao Mountain, the fairy ferry. Chen Ping'an saw the small village more than once. The local children in the town squatted on the wall with their rice bowls, looking up and waiting for the ferry to pass by. Every time they happened to see it, they would shout and scream with joy.

This time on the mountain road back to Luolu Mountain, Chen Ping'an and Pei Qian encountered a convoy of immortal masters heading to Yidai Peak.

There is something wrong with settling down here and building a cave. Ruan Qiong has set a rule and does not allow any monks to travel far away. However, as time goes by, after Ruan Qiong established the Longquan Sword Sect, he is no longer just a saint, but a saint. The leader of a sect that needed to open up branches and exchanges of favors began to relax the restrictions slightly, and asked Dong Gu, a disciple of Jindan Earth Immortal, to be responsible for selecting a few routes to control the wind and travel through the void, and then asked Longquan Sword Sect for a few pocket irons. With the sword-style "Guan Lian" waist badge, you can come and go freely in Lizhu Blessed Land, but so far, only a few of the dozens of immortal forces that have remained in Longquan County can get the small iron sword. It’s not that Longquan Sword Sect’s eyes are too high, but the person who forges the sword, not Ruan Qiong, nor those direct disciples, but Ruan Qiong’s only daughter, the Xiuxiu girl, the speed at which the sword comes out of the furnace is extremely slow and grinding. It took a year to finally build one, but who had the nerve to come and urge it? Even if you have the shame, you may not have the courage. Nowadays, there is a rumor circulating in the mountains. A few years ago, a group of elite Niangan Lang from Dali led by the Minister of Rites, Qing Li Division, went south to Shujian Lake to "reason". Miss Xiuxiu settled everything almost by herself. .

The Xianjia sect that originally spent gold and copper coins to select the location of Yidai Peak, the Shanmen Ancestral Hall is located in Mengliang Country where Yunxia Mountain is located, and is at the bottom of the second-rate forces on Baopingzhou Mountain. The situation of the Great Li Cavalry was not good at the beginning, and it was really not the place. The sect does not want to move, but is reluctant to part with the money from the gods that opened up the mansion, and is not willing to let it go down the drain. Moreover, an old master of the Ancestral Hall, as the only remaining golden elixir earth immortal on the mountain, is now cultivating at Jiemao on Yidai Peak. , with only more than a dozen disciples and disciples, as well as some servants and maids, the old monk had a bad relationship with the mountain master. The sect’s move was originally to send the stubborn patriarch away, so as not to spend time with the ancestor every day. The other side of the hall was arrogant and glaring, making all the juniors feel uncomfortable.

Chen Pingan walked not in a hurry, but the carriage was not slow, so he took Pei Qian to get out of the way, and he never thought that the motorcade would also stop.

There are two carriages in the convoy and more than twenty people. There are only three real Yidai Peak Genealogy Immortal Masters, and the rest are all servants on the peak.

A young monk and two beautiful nuns stepped out of the carriage respectively. One of the female nuns held a lazily curled up young white fox in her arms.

The young monk was one of the direct descendants of the old master of Yidai Peak. He came to Chen Ping'an and took the initiative to say hello and said with a smile: "Master Chen, I am Song Yuan of Yidai Peak. My master took me to visit Luolu Mountain earlier. Stay back, Shanzhu Chen may have no memory."

The words were spoken smoothly but not greasyly, which was very beautiful.

In fact, Chen Ping'an recognized Song Yuan. He had a good memory, and he had never been the kind of person with his nostrils turned upward. He thought that Cuiying of Qingfufang could remember it, let alone the direct disciple of a Jindan Earth Immortal from the neighboring mountain. On the day before, the Earth Immortal from Yidai Peak visited Luopo Mountain. Instead of standing at the back, Song Yuan had several senior brothers and sisters standing in the back row. Song Yuan stood next to his master. After all, he was a retreating disciple, the most favored, and the emperor. I also love Yao'er, that's why.

Chen Pingan clasped his fists in return and asked with a smile: "Xianxian Master Xiao Song is coming back from other places?"

Song Yuan was a little surprised. On Yidai Peak, there was an uncle whose surname was also Song. Therefore, the master of Luolu Mountain was very particular about calling out Immortal Master Xiao Song.

Song Yuan nodded and said: "Junior sister Liu and I have just returned from watching the ceremony at Yunxia Mountain. A friend was also watching the ceremony at the time. Hearing that our Lizhu Blessed Land is one of the rare beautiful places in the continent, he wanted to visit our Longquan County. Just go back with Junior Sister Liu and me."

Song Yuan took two small steps back without revealing any trace, and stretched out her palms towards the two young female cultivators, "Let me introduce to Master Chen. This is Junior Sister Liu, my master's most beloved granddaughter. Master Chen calls her Runyun Bian." Yes. This is Fairy Zhou from Qingmei Temple in Nantang Lake. She is best friends with Junior Sister Liu. We have just come from Chen’s School. We plan to visit Linlu Academy in Piyun Mountain first and then return to Yidai Peak. .”

Chen Ping'an called Miss Liu and Fairy Zhou twice, and then said with a smile: "Then I won't delay Immortal Master Song on his way."

Song Yuan smiled and nodded, and did not deliberately continue the polite greetings. The relationship was not built like this. The monks on the mountain, as long as they were the middle-level and fifth-level immortals who walked to the mountainside, most of them were ascetic and did not want to be involved in too many worldly things. Since Chen Ping'an Song Yuan would not open the invitation without taking the initiative to invite him to Luo Po Mountain. Even if Song Yuan knew that Fairy Qingmei Guanzhou next to him had winked at him, Song Yuan would just pretend not to have seen her.

Along the way to the north, this fairy, who had made a lot of money from Nantang Lake Qingmei Temple through the mirror flowers and water moon, was very stubborn and did not want to miss any connections and landscapes. Almost every fairy mansion or beautiful mountains and rivers she visited was Fairy Zhou has to use the secret method of Qingmei Temple to "interpret" a picture, and then "embed" her own moving figure into it. During the holidays, she can send it to some acquaintances who are wealthy and spend a lot of money on her. Song Yuan accompanied her all the way, which was actually a bit depressing, but Fairy Zhou and Junior Sister Liu had always had a good relationship, and Junior Sister Liu was extremely looking forward to her own Yidai Peak in the future. She could also open up the restrictions of the Mirror Flower and the Moon, and learn from this all-around exquisite Zhou. Sister, Song Yuan won’t say anything more. The master is very fond of this granddaughter, but he is unwilling to agree to this matter. It is said that a woman is dressed up in a colorful way, showing off her appearance, and posing in front of a large group of evil-minded disciples all day long. She is not short of clothes and clothes. This little fairy money is absolutely not allowed.

Fairy Zhou didn't want Chen Ping'an to move, she smoothed her temple hair, her eyes moved, and said loudly: "Master Chen, I heard Senior Brother Song talk about you many times, and Senior Brother Song admires you very much. They also say that Master Chen Shan is now one of the top landowners in Lizhu Blessed Land. I wonder if it would be abrupt if Runyun and I visit Luopo Mountain together?"

Song Yuan's scalp felt cold and he smiled bitterly.

In fact, he had said to Fairy Qingmei Guan Zhou more than once that this side of Lizhu Blessed Land is no more important than other places where immortals practice Taoism. The situation is complex, intertwined, and there are many gods and men. You must be careful with your words and deeds. It must be Fairy Zhou. He didn't listen at all, and he might even become more motivated and eager to try. It's just Fairy Zhou, Fairy Zhou, this Dali Longquan County is really not as simple as you think.

Chen Pingan smiled slightly at Song Yuan, and his eyes told the young immortal Master Song not to think too much, and then said to the fairy Qingmei Guan: "Unfortunately, I will leave the mountain soon, and I may disappoint Fairy Zhou. Next time I return Luopo Mountain, I must invite Fairy Zhou and Miss Liu to sit there."

Yidaifeng Liu Runyun was about to speak, but Song Yuan quietly grabbed his sleeve.

Fairy Zhou bit her lip and said, "That's right. I don't know when Shanzhu Chen will return home. Qiong Lin should prepare early."

Chen Pingan shook his head and said with a smile: "It's hard to say for the time being."

Fairy Tingting's slender Qingmei Temple turned sideways and gave a blessing. After straightening her slender waist, she said delicately and softly: "I'm glad to meet Master Chen. You are welcome to visit Qingmei Temple in Nantang Lake next time. Qiong Lin will definitely take care of you personally." As Master Chen appreciates the plum blossoms, our Qingmei Temple's "The Plum Blossoms in Thatched Cottage is the Strongest in Spring" has long been famous and we will definitely not disappoint Master Chen."

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Okay, if I have a chance to pass by, I will definitely disturb Qingmei Temple."

Zhou Qionglin saw the black girl holding a hiking pole and said with a smile: "Hello, little girl."

Pei Qian pointed to his still red and swollen face, looking naive and stupid, "I'm not feeling well."

Zhou Qionglin was still trying to get around this unpleasant-looking little girl, but Chen Ping'an had already taken Pei Qian's hand and left.

Liu Runyun seemed to want to vindicate Sister Zhou, but Song Yuan not only did not let go, but directly grabbed her wrist. Liu Runyun, who was slightly in pain, was extremely surprised, so he could not speak.

Although he has been under the protection of his grandfather since he was a child, he is carefree, has a charming and innocent temperament, and rarely has a city, but Liu Runyun is a serious genealogy master after all. Even if he has not reached the cave realm yet, he is not How silly.

The convoy passed slowly, and after driving far away, the coachman, who had received instructions in advance, dared to speed up the horse's hooves.

The car curtain opened, and Zhou Qionglin looked at the big and small people walking by the road, but the two of them were just immersed in driving, which made her a little helpless. She was proficient in all kinds of martial arts to confuse men's minds, but she unexpectedly encountered this strange man. The blind man who understands the charm.

Song Yuan sat alone in the front carriage and sighed.

This Fairy Zhou is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. When she goes back to Yidai Peak, she must say a few words to the master in private, so as not to lead Runyun astray.

On the road, after Pei Qian performed a set of crazy sword skills, he asked with a smile: "Master, do you think among the three people, which one do I like the most?"

Chen Pingan replied casually: "Yidaifeng Liu Runyun?"

Pei Qian shook his head and said, "Give Master another chance to guess twice."

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Like Master, is it Song Yuan?"

Unexpectedly, Pei Qian still shook his head like a rattle, "Guess again, guess again!"

Chen Ping'an was a little surprised, "Why Zhou Qionglin?"

Chen Ping'an couldn't say he was disgusted with Zhou Qionglin, who was good at maneuvering, but he couldn't say he liked him.

The main reason is that her kind of soliciting relationship is too inappropriate and can easily cause trouble for Song Yuan. If she arouses a bad feeling, Zhou Qionglin can return to Nantang Lake Qingmei Temple and continue to be her fairy, but as her half My friend's Song Garden and the Yidai Peak where Song Garden is located cannot be left. This is the key reason why Chen Ping'an does not want to give Zhou Qionglin any face.

Pei Qian stretched out a palm and shook it twice, indicating that she wanted to whisper something to the master.

Chen Pingan bent down with a smile, and Pei Qian covered his mouth with one palm and whispered to him: "That Fairy Zhou, although she looks charming and charming, of course, is definitely still far less beautiful than Sister Nu Guan and Yao Jinzhi. Yes, but, Master, let me tell you, I saw that there were many poor little people in shabby clothes living in her heart, just like me back then, very skinny and almost starving to death, and she Well, I was very sad, and I didn’t dare to look at them in front of a big empty rice bowl.”

Chen Pingan was shocked. He suddenly looked up and saw that the motorcade was already far away. Chen Pingan murmured what the fairy had said before: "That's it."

Chen Pingan walked slowly.

Pei Qian waved his hiking stick and raised his head in confusion, "Master, are you unhappy? Did I say something wrong?"

Pei Qian thought for a while and quickly came up with a remedy. She opened her mouth wide, then shook her head and made a wolfish look, "Okay, Master, I have eaten all the words back. Master, hurry up and be happy." !”

Chen Ping'an smiled brightly and gently reached out to hold Pei Qian's head, shaking her from side to side. "After Master leaves Luoluo Mountain, go to Yidai Peak to find Sister Zhou and invite her there." Luopo Mountain is a guest. But if Sister Zhou wants you to help visit the Longquan Sword Sect or something, don’t agree. Just say that you are a child and can’t make the decision. You can go wherever you want on the top of your own mountain. If there are some things, you really can’t. If you're sure, just ask Zhu Lian."

Pei Qian snorted, "Don't worry, Master, I am very good at dealing with people now. The business at the New Year's shop has earned more than ten taels of silver this month than usual! Fourteen taels of silver! In Nan How many baskets of snow-white steamed buns can we buy in Yuan Kingdom? Right? Master, let me tell you something else. After earning so much money, wasn’t it that I was afraid that Sister Shirou would get interested in seeing the money? I even deliberately discussed it with her. After a while, she said that I would hide this money secretly with her. Anyway, God doesn’t know, so it should be treated as the girl’s private money. Unexpectedly, Sister Shi Rou said to think about it carefully, but she thought about it for many, many days. , I was almost dying of anxiety, and it wasn’t until two days before Master you came home that she said let’s forget it. Alas, this Shi Rou, luckily she didn’t nod in agreement, otherwise she would have suffered from my crazy sword skills. But seeing that she still has some conscience, I spent my own money and bought a bronze mirror for her. I just hope that Sister Shi Rou will not forget her roots and look in the mirror more every day. Haha, Master, think about it. Looking in the mirror, Sister Shi Rou saw a bad old man who was not Shi Rou..."

Pei Qian was like a little sparrow surrounding Chen Ping'an, chirping and noisy.

Chen Pingan touched his forehead and didn't want to speak.

I really don’t know who is teasing whom among the two New Year’s Eve shops. It seems that no one is taking advantage.

"Master, why didn't you invite Zhou Qionglin yourself? Forget it, she should feel honored that I, Master's first disciple, will do it myself. Beier has face!"

"I only acknowledge her unknown good deeds, not her lack of thoroughness in managing relationships, so Master cannot come forward. Otherwise, when I visited Luoluo Mountain in Longquan County, I would mistakenly think that every mountain top is as desolate as us. Shan, with her style of conduct, it may be smooth sailing at Qingmei Temple, but here, sooner or later, she will have to hit a wall and suffer hardships. The Taoist immortal master who can buy the mountain here will not care about Nan once a conflict arises. Tanghu Qingmei Temple, in the end, weren’t we the ones who harmed her?”

"Master, you are going round and round, but I am studious and like to think about things seriously, and as a result, my head hurts."

"Then don't think about it, just listen."

"But it goes in one ear and out the other, which is not a good thing. Chef Zhu always says that I am inexperienced. He also likes to say that I am neither tall nor wise. Master, please don't believe him."

"Don't gossip about people behind their backs."

"Oh, I know."

"Actually, it's not that you can't say anything. As long as you don't mean any harm, that's the real childishness. The reason why Master seems so inhumane is because he is afraid that you are young and will become accustomed to it, and you won't be able to deal with it in the future. "

"But what if I didn't know it was malicious, but it was really malicious, and I ended up doing something wrong or bad?"

"Master is here."

When they arrived at Luolu Mountain, Zheng Dafeng was still busy supervising the work and did not care to talk to Chen Ping'an, the owner of the mountain.

In Zhu Lian's house, the walls are already covered with paintings, all in the style of ladies.

All of them are female gods from the Beiyue Realm. They are lifelike and very expressive. There are more than ten kinds of buns alone.

Chen Pingan held it in for a long time and asked, "Cen Yuanji didn't say you were old and disrespectful?"

Zhu Lian laughed and said: "The little girl only praised the old slave as a master of painting."

At that time, Chen Pingan was holding a bamboo hat and was speechless.

The three of them went to the Bamboo House together.

Zhu Lian asked: "Young master just left like this?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "The cross-continental ferry will arrive at Niujiao Mountain in the next few days."

Zhu Lian, who was stooped, rubbed his chin and smiled silently.

Chen Ping'an asked doubtfully: "How do you explain it? If you have something to say, just say it."

Zhu Lian scratched his head and said, "It's okay, I just thought of the partridges singing in our mountains for no reason, and I had some feelings when we parted."

Chen Pingan was confused.

Zhu Lian said he was going to watch Cen Yuanji's boxing practice and left.

When Chen Ping'an arrived at the bamboo tower, he sat on the stone bench by the cliff without rushing up. Pei Qian quickly rushed over with the girl in pink skirt named Chen Chujian.

Chen Pingan stretched out his hand skillfully and got a handful of melon seeds.

Chen Chujian is the incarnation of the fire python of literary luck. He actually reads a lot, so Chen Ping'an couldn't help but ask: "What do ancient poems and literati's notes say about partridges?"

Chen Chujian hurriedly stopped eating melon seeds. After sitting down, he talked about a lot of poems about partridges. Pei Qian dozed off while listening to them, so he hurriedly ate more melon seeds to refresh himself.

Chen Pingan felt that he could not really figure out the meaning of Zhu Lian's words. They were mostly similar to hearing partridges deep in the mountains and describing the pain of parting. However, Chen Pingan was too lazy to think about it. He would have to go upstairs later, so he was worried about himself. yes.

The little girl suddenly laughed and said: "One more thing, the stream is fast and the mountains are craggy, so it's hard to do it, brother!"

Pei Qian suddenly had an idea, "Oh, the old cook is talking about Sister Xiuxiu."

Chen Pingan put down most of the melon seeds in his hand, stood up silently, and went to the second floor. It felt good to be fed.
