Sword of Coming

As one of the tallest mountains in Lizhu Cave, Luolu Mountain is a perfect place to enjoy the moon.

Cui Dongshan, dressed in white, gently closed the bamboo door on the first floor. When the handsome fairy boy stood still, it was really the moonlight and white clouds that had returned.

Cui Dongshan tiptoed to the second floor. The old man Cui Cheng had already walked to the corridor, and the moonlight was like water washing the railings. Cui Dongshan called grandpa, and the old man nodded with a smile.

Grandfather and grandson, the old man stood with his hands behind his back. Cui Dongshan was lying on the railing, with his two big sleeves hanging outside the railing.

Cui Cheng didn't want to talk more with Cui Han, but Cui Cheng might be closer to this "Cui Dongshan" whose soul was split in half because it was more in line with his early memories.

Cui Cheng asked: "Why did you run back?"

Cui Dongshan said softly: "Walking around outside, I always feel that there is no energy. When I arrived at the boundary of Guanhu Academy, I thought about meeting the teachers. I was upset, so I sneaked back."

Cui Cheng smiled and said: "Since you are doing something important that is worthy of your true heart, you must have perseverance and not always think about fun and boring things."

Cui Dongshan used his chin as a rag and wiped the railing back and forth, "I know."

Cui Cheng asked: "Leaving tonight?"

Cui Dongshan nodded, "Business still needs to be done. The old bastard likes to be serious and is willing to admit defeat. Now that I have chosen to bow to him, I will naturally not delay his great cause. I will be diligent and honest. It’s just like when I was a child, I had to do my homework with my master at home.”

Cui Cheng didn't say much. The old man didn't think he was qualified to tell them what to do. Back then, he was too pedantic and taught too many rigid principles, and he liked to put on airs. That's why the little boy left home in anger, traveled to a foreign country, and left in one breath. Aquarius Continent, went to the Middle-earth Divine Continent, and accepted a poor old scholar as his husband. All this was beyond the old man's expectation. Every time Cui Chan sent a letter home asking for money, the old man was both annoyed and distressed. How much good knowledge can a dignified grandson of the Cui family learn by studying in a shabby alley? That's all. Since you have given in to the family and asked for it, you only get so little money every month. How dare you ask? How many sage books can I buy? Even if you don't eat or drink for a year, can you assemble a decent study room? Of course, it was only later that the old man realized that the old scholar's knowledge was so high that it was at its peak.

Cui Cheng said: "Cui Han has just contacted Chen Ping'an, and he should tell the truth."

Cui Dongshan hummed, not surprised, Cui Zhang saw him thoroughly. In fact, Cui Dongshan looked at Cui Zhang very much. After all, he was once the same person.

Cui Dongshan turned his head, "How about I leave later?"

Cui Cheng smiled and said: "You leave late and leave early, can I stop you? Apart from locking you in the attic to study when you were a child, when have you ever listened to grandpa's words since then?"

Cui Dongshan said: "I will listen to grandpa this time."

Cui Cheng said: "Okay, if he wants to talk about it later, just blame it on me."

Cui Dongshan smiled brightly, climbed up the railing skillfully, turned over and landed on the ground on the first floor, swaggered towards the houses next to Zhu Lian, and first went to Pei Qian's yard. He made a series of strange noises, rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue, bared his teeth and claws, and was confused. When Pei Qian woke up, he was so frightened that he took out the yellow paper talisman at lightning speed and put it on his forehead. Then, without putting on his shoes, he ran towards the window sill with his hiking stick in hand, closing his eyes and doing the same thing. Crazy swordsmanship, blindly shouting, "Go, go, go! I'll spare your life!"

Cui Dongshan shouted angrily: "You knocked on my husband's window and you have to pay for it!"

Pei Qian was stunned on the spot, stretched out her two fingers, and gently pressed the talisman on her forehead to prevent her from falling. If a demon deliberately changed into Cui Dongshan's appearance, she must not take it lightly. She asked tentatively: "Who am I?"

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "Senior Sister."

Pei Qian was relieved. It seemed that it was really Cui Dongshan. He ran to the window sill, stood on tiptoes, and asked curiously: "Why are you here again?"

Cui Dongshan asked: "You care about me?"

Pei Qian took off the talisman and put it in his sleeve, and ran to open the door. When he saw that Cui Dongshan was gone, he turned around and couldn't find it. When he looked up, he saw a guy in white clothes hanging upside down under the eaves. He was frightened. Pei Qian sat down on the ground. There were already tears in Pei Qian's eyes. Just when he was about to cry loudly, Cui Dongshan was like an ice pick hanging under the eaves on a snowy day. He poked Pei Qian and his mountain sticks. When it broke, Cui Dongshan slipped from the eaves in an upside-down position, hit his head on the ground with a thud, and then fell straight to the ground. Seeing this scene, Pei Qian burst into tears and laughed, and all his grievances suddenly disappeared.

Cui Dongshan climbed up, shook his snow-white sleeves, and asked casually: "Where is that blind maid?"

Pei Qian said cautiously: "Sister Shirou is busy with business at the New Year's Eve shop. She helps me make money together. There is no credit but hard work. You must not bully her again, or I will tell the master."

Cui Dongshan sneered: "Complain? Your master is my husband, and he is obviously closer to me. When I met my husband, you didn't know where to play in the mud."

Pei Qian didn't want to be inferior to him in this matter. He thought for a while and said, "Master went to Shushui Kingdom to travel around the world this time and brought me a lot of gifts. I can't even count them. Do you have any?" ?Even if there is, can there be as many as me?"

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "Are you comparing your wealth with me, who is known as Uncle Duobao in the world?"

Pei Qian said seriously: "What we have is not counted, we are only better than what our masters and husbands gave us."

Cui Dongshan spread his hands and said, "There is no shame in losing to Senior Sister."

Pei Qian nodded and said, "He who knows the current affairs is a hero."

Cui Dongshan stretched out his finger and poked Pei Qian's eyebrows, "You can just drag the text and make all the ancient sages angry to death."

Pei Qian slapped Cui Dongshan's dog paws off and said timidly: "Presumptuous."

Cui Dongshan was amused that such a good word was used so ungratefully by Xiao Heitan.

Cui Dongshan started walking out of the yard, "Let's go and play with the pig's head."

Pei Qian was no longer sleepy, and happily followed Cui Dongshan, telling him about his heroic feat of poking a hornet's nest with Sister Baoping. Cui Dongshan asked: "It's just that I am naughty, and I also bring disaster to Xiao Baoping. Sir, didn’t he beat you?”

Pei Qian rolled his eyes and said, "You're just talking nonsense."

Cui Dongshan lamented, "My husband really treats you as his own daughter."

Pei Qian was happy, the big white goose was better at talking than the old cook.

As for the Big White Goose, it was Pei Qian's nickname for Cui Dongshan in private. She only told the most "tight-lipped" sister Aquarius about this matter.

Passing by a house, there was a muffled sound of walking and punching inside the wall.

Cui Dongshan jumped in the air and climbed higher step by step. Standing outside the wall, he saw a slender and beautiful girl practicing his husband's best six-step walking pole. Pei Qian leaned the hiking pole against the wall and stepped back a few steps. He jumped up high, stepped on the hiking pole, grabbed the wall with both hands, exerted a little force on his arms, and successfully stuck his head out. Cui Dongshan rubbed his face and muttered: "This punch really hurts my eyes." .”

Pei Qian lowered his voice and said, "Cen Yuanji is not a bad person, he is just a little stupid."

Cui Dongshan nodded and said, "I can tell."

After all, Cen Yuanji is the martial arts embryo that Zhu Lian favors, a woman who is expected to become a martial artist in the golden realm. It is only in a place like Luolu Mountain where ghosts and gods are infested that she is not conspicuous at all, otherwise she will be easily thrown into Shushui Kingdom, In the Caiyi Kingdom, once she reaches the seventh realm, she will be a veritable grand master. Walking through the shallow rivers and lakes is like a forest python wading through a pond, causing the water to burst.

It's just that Cen Yuanji has just practiced boxing. It's very difficult to immerse her mind in it when practicing boxing. Therefore, it wasn't until she took a short rest and stopped her boxing that she heard the whispers on the other side of the wall. She instantly turned sideways and stepped forward. He retreated, opened a fist with both hands, raised his head and shouted angrily: "Who?!"

When she saw the handsome "young man"'s head, she frowned, wondering why such a stranger who looked like an immortal appeared. Then she saw Pei Qian grinning at the side, and Cen Yuanji breathed a sigh of relief.

Cui Dongshan put his elbows on the wall and asked, "Are you Zhutou...oh no, are you the registered disciple of Luo Luo Mountain chosen by Zhu Lian to go up the mountain?"

Cen Yuanji didn't answer and looked at Pei Qian.

Pei Qian introduced with a smile: "His name is Cui Dongshan. He is a student of my master. We are of the same seniority."

Cen Yuanji started to mutter.

That young mountain master’s student disciple?

Is this handsome young man in front of me, who looks very smart, stupid? Who should I choose to be my husband? Why not choose that unlearned guy? She wanders around all year round, working as a shopkeeper, and occasionally returns to the mountain. I heard that she is either casually socializing, or that she has witnessed with her own eyes, drinking and acting crazy at night. What can you learn from that guy? That guy is so deceived by lard that he dares to be a gentleman. Is he so short of money?

Cen Yuanji sighed in his heart and looked at the handsome young man in white with some pity.

Cui Dongshan said softly: "You are really stupid, not just pretending."

Pei Qian hummed, "I didn't lie to you."

The two heads, big and small, disappeared from the top of the wall almost at the same time, in perfect agreement.

Cen Yuanji couldn't hear it clearly and didn't bother to care. Anyway, there were a lot of weird people and strange things on Luolu Mountain.

Cui Dongshan did not go to Zhu Lian, but took Pei Qian to the top of Luolu Mountain. He stamped his feet and angrily said, "Get out yet."

Song Yuzhang, the mountain god of Luolu Mountain, quickly revealed his true form. Facing this "young man" whose true identity he had already known back then, Song Yuzhang bowed to the bottom of his body at the foot of the steps outside the ancestral temple, but did not name him anything.

Cui Dongshan's face was gloomy, full of evil spirits, and he strode forward. Song Yuzhang stood there.

Pei Qian sees that the situation is not good, Cui Dongshan is going to start acting like a monster again, isn't he? She hurriedly followed Cui Dongshan and persuaded in a low voice: "Speak carefully, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. When the time comes, it will be difficult for you to be a good person. Master."

Cui Dongshan sighed, stood in front of the desolate mountain god with a calm expression, and asked: "Being an official is like death. After all, you have finally become a mountain god, but you are still not enlightened?"

Although Song Yuzhang was in awe of this "National Master Cui Xun", he had a clear conscience about his conduct as a person, so he would never be cowardly at all. He said slowly: "If you are good at being an official and a good person, don't say that I am not lacking in Dali. From now on, From the already destroyed Lu family, to the surviving Gao family of the Sui Dynasty, to the small vassal states like Huang Tingguo, who were able to adapt to the changing circumstances, how could there be any less?"

Cui Dongshan asked: "Then let me ask you, whether you are an official or a mountain god, if you are placed in these positions by the Dali Song family, are you pursuing moral self-perfection, or are you focusing on serving the country and the people?"

Song Yuzhang asked: "Master, don't you allow ministers to do both?"

Cui Dongshan waved his sleeves and said impatiently: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you."

Song Yuzhang bowed and said goodbye, meticulously, returned to the clay statue with his golden body, and took the initiative to "close the door" and temporarily gave up his inspection of Luolu Mountain.

Cui Dongshan took Pei Qian for a casual walk on the top of the mountain. Pei Qian asked curiously: "Why are you angry?"

"There's no point in being angry. I'm never angry at stupid people. I'm only worried that I'm not smart enough."

Cui Dongshan shook his head, spread out his hands, and gestured, "Everyone has his own way of living, knowledge, principles, old sayings, experience, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., together, they built themselves a house, some small , just like the small houses in Muping Lane and Xinghua Lane, some are big, like the mansion on Fulu Street in Taoye Lane, the Xianjia Cave Mansion on the top of the mountains, and even the human palace, the Divine Continent of Middle Earth. Baidi City, the White Jade Capital in the Qingming World, is not only big or small, but also stable. Large and unstable, it is like a loft in the sky, but it is not as good as a small and sturdy house. It cannot withstand wind and rain. When suffering comes, it will fall apart. The building collapses. In addition, it depends on the number of doors and windows. If there are many and they are often opened, you can quickly accept the scenery outside. If there are few and they are closed all year round, it means that a person will be very stubborn and easy to get into trouble. self."

Pei Qian nodded, "I just like to see big and small houses, so I understand what you are saying. That mountain god master who is not afraid of you is obviously a guy with a closed heart. He is stubborn and accepts death."

Cui Dongshan turned his head, glanced at Pei Qian's eyes, and said with a smile: "Okay, you are so clever."

Pei Qian crossed his arms across his chest and held the hiking pole, "No, I'm going to a school soon."

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "Then I have to remind you that the space in a house is limited. If you install this, you can't fit that. Why do many scholars become stupid with reading? It's just that if you read too many books in a certain genre, every time you have more When you read a book, you cover the windows and doors a little more, so towards the end, you can’t see the world clearly. In the blink of an eye, your hair is gray, and you are still scratching your hair. Why do I read so much and still live? They are no better than pigs and dogs. In the end, I can only comfort myself by saying that it is not my fault that the world is declining."

Pei Qian looked around, but there was no one around, and then whispered: "I went to the school just to make the master feel more at ease when he went on a long trip, and it's not like he was really going to study. Reading a boring book would make his head hurt. "

Cui Dongshan blinked, then laughed loudly, and ran all the way down the mountain, "I'm going to file a complaint."

Pei Qian was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears and began to run with all his strength to chase the big white goose.

Cui Dongshan suddenly stopped and stood at the foot of a step. He turned around and saw a black charcoal girl. In order to catch up with him, he didn't care whether he would fall or hurt himself. She kicked the ground on the top of the mountain. , leaping high, very much like the straw-shoe boy in Mud Bottle Alley back then, flying like an eagle across the stream.

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "Sir, student, disciple. It turns out that the three of us are the same. We are all so afraid of growing up, and we have to grow up."

Suddenly, someone slapped Cui Dongshan on the back of the head. The uninvited man smiled politely and said, "Bullying Pei Qian again."

Before he finished speaking, a man in green clothes who had just rushed over from the Luolu Mountain Bamboo House swept away with his toes, hugged Pei Qian and put her on the ground. Cui Dongshan smiled and bent down to bow. : "The student is wrong."

Pei Qian wiped the sweat from his face, rolled his eyes, and began to help Cui Dongshan speak, "Master, he and I were joking. We actually didn't say anything."

Cui Dongshan's little chicken pecked at the rice, "Yes, yes, yes."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Do you believe it yourself?"

Pei Qian and Cui Dongshan said in unison: "Believe!"

Chen Ping'an didn't get to the bottom of it, it was all nonsense anyway.

The three of them went down the mountain together.

Mr. student, Master's disciple.
