Sword of Coming

The lady who is the Queen Mother of Dali seemed to finally remember her son Song He, the new emperor of Dali, beside her. She smiled and said: "Mr. Chen, this is my son Song He. It should be the first time for you to meet each other. I hope we can meet him more often in the future." Deal with him. Mr. Chen is the proud son of Heaven who is responsible for the military destiny of our country, and our country is built by force. Whether it is my uncle or Song He, they will and should treat Mr. Chen politely. "

The young emperor leaned forward a little and said with a smile, "I have met Mr. Chen."

There is no airs about the Nine-Five Supreme Being.

This boarding trip was a private visit incognito, to make friends with the so-called mountain masters, so I could put aside the secular etiquette.

In his early years, Song He was able to win a reputation among the civil and military officials of Dali, and his reputation in the government and the public was very good. In addition to being well taught by the Empress of Dali, he also did a good job himself.

Chen Ping'an nodded and said: "I will definitely go to the capital to visit if I have the opportunity."

The woman smiled and said, "The imperial court plans to promote Longquan from a county to a prefecture. Wu Yuan will be promoted to governor. I wonder if Mr. Chen has a suitable candidate for the position of county governor left?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Isn't it possible to choose one of them from Yuan County Magistrate and Cao Governor? Yuan County Magistrate is diligent and clear in rewards and punishments. He manages the territory of a county without missing any traces. Cao Governor is close to the people and arrests the big ones and lets go of the small ones. The affairs of Longyao are tight on the outside and tight on the inside, and there are no mistakes. Both of them are good officials. Whoever gets promoted will make us, the people of Longquan County, happy."

The new emperor Song He glanced at Chen Pingan quietly.

Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?

The two great surnames of the Shangzhu Kingdom, Yuan and Cao, could not fight in temples, but they also had to fight on the battlefield. How many generations have they been tit-for-tat? Giving it to either party is tantamount to neglecting the other party. The official status of a county governor is actually not very big, but losing the face of a certain Shangzhu country is not a trivial matter. To say the least, even if the head of the Yuan Cao family is heartbroken. Unbiased, glorious, and accepting whatever the court says, what will the direct descendants and disciples below them think? One side is proud, the other is feeling aggrieved. Is this the court adding fuel to the fire?

The woman looked calm and said with a smile: "Perhaps Mr. Chen is a Taoist in the mountains and likes to travel around the world, so he has little contact with the two local parents and officials and has no personal relationship, so I don't want to say anything more, but there is one more thing. Mr. Chen should have some ideas about emotions and reasons. In the future, Longquan will be promoted to the prefecture, and the three city gods in the prefecture and county have not yet been decided. The mountain god of Luolu Mountain did not say hello to Mr. Chen in advance, so he chose the old governor to be an official. Song Yuzhang, although it is in line with the etiquette and law, to be honest, it is actually our court that did it... It is a little less humane. It should be discussed with Mr. Chen before making a decision. So this time the three city gods and Mr. Chen There is no need to have any worries. As a woman, I, my son Song He, and the imperial court all believe in Mr. Chen’s character and vision, so we should ask Mr. Chen to help Da Li select one or two treasures from the ocean. "

The woman continued to persuade: "Master Chen is going to travel far away this time, but Longquan County is his hometown after all. There are one or two trustworthy people of his own who can take care of the mountains including Luolu Mountain on weekdays. When Master Chen is away from home, it is a good idea." Be at ease."

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said with regret: "I'm really not familiar with the gods of mountains and rivers around Lizhu Cave, the Lord of the City, and the other incense spirits who died and became gods. Every time they come and go, they are in a hurry, otherwise they are really I want to be selfish and ask the court for a city god who is close to me to be in charge of Longquan County. I, Chen Ping'an, was born in a shabby alley of the city. I have never read a day, and I am not familiar with the rules of officialdom. I have been wandering around for a long time, but I still know that "county magistrate" It's better to take care of it now than the vulgar truth of it."

Song He smiled in his heart. What he said was true. You, Chen Pingan, really only know Wei Bo, the God of Beiyue. He is almost good enough to wear a pair of trousers.

The woman was also full of regrets, "The Ministry of Rites has been quarreling fiercely over the candidates for the three City Gods, and they will be finalized soon. In fact, the Ministry of Works is already discussing the location of the three City God Pavilions and temples, and Mr. Chen missed it. This opportunity is really a pity. After all, once such incense gods take root in the landscape, they are not like those yamen officials who often change their stools. They will not make changes for decades at least or hundreds of years at most."

Chen Pingan sighed and said: "I accept the court's kindness. The rivers and lakes are far away, and the mountains are high and the rivers are long. I hope there will be similar opportunities in the future."

The woman stood up slowly, and with a simple movement, she was full of grace and grace, "Then we will not disturb Mr. Chen's journey and practice."

Chen Ping'an stood up and said, "I am neither a sword cultivator nor a martial artist in the far-traveling realm. I cannot send you far on the ferry, so I still hope to see Haihan."

The woman nodded, indicating that it was okay, and turned to Xu Ruoyan with a smile, "Anyway, the ferry has not left the territory of Aquarius Island yet. I believe that He'er and I will have a safe return journey. Since Mr. Xu is familiar with Mr. Chen, why not Stay and catch up on old times?”

Xu Ruo shook his head and smiled: "No need."

It was concise and to the point, without even giving a reason.

However, neither the woman nor the new emperor Song He seemed to find this offensive, as if it was only natural for "Mr. Xu" to express his stance like this.

Finally, Chen Pingan sent the three people to the boat rail. Near the Pima Zong ferry on the skeleton beach, there was a huge ferry with a height of six floors running abreast. In comparison, the Pima Zong ferry, which was already a giant, It looks a bit "slender and slender". Between the two ferries, I don't know how, a painted "corridor bridge" with blue mist paved on the ground was set up. It was more than two feet wide and filled with fairy spirit. You could vaguely see the graceful dancing of the goddess on the corridor pillars, just like the ancient heaven. The three people walked in the corridor, as if they were walking on flat ground. Whenever the soles of their shoes touched the "bluestone road", there would be circles of colorful haloes spreading out and ripples.

Chen Ping'an didn't move. He looked up and saw that this fairy covered bridge was put away by an old monk in white clothes and high crown on the opposite ferry. He turned his wrist and stood it upright in the palm of his hand, as small as a seal, and then slowly hid it in his sleeve.

The mother and son disappeared over the ferry stairs.

Xu Ruo turned around and stood leaning on the railing. Chen Pingan clasped his fists and said goodbye. The other party smiled and nodded in return.

Chen Pingan returned to the house, stopped practicing boxing, and began to close his eyes, as if he had returned to the Shanmen House on Qingxia Island in Shujian Lake and became a bookkeeper.

Start calculating the accounts silently.

Some things may seem trivial, but they are difficult to check. Once checked, they will alert the snake and affect the whole body.

But for some major matters, even if they involve top-level insider information of the Song family in Dali, Chen Pingan can ask questions without hesitation from Cui Dongshan.

But after careful calculation, it is nothing more than the same word.

Chen Pingan opened his eyes and tapped the sword gourd lightly with his fingers.

There was actually no need for this mother and son to make this trip, and they even took the initiative to show their kindness.

Maybe he was pursuing the greatest interests. The grudges and grudges he had committed back then were not worth mentioning in the eyes of the woman after the situation changed.

For example, killing Chen Ping'an costs ten taels of silver. If you win over him, you can earn five taels of silver. This is actually a transaction of fifteen taels of silver.

Of course, it could also be a cover-up. That woman was used to using all her strength to fight with lions and rabbits. Otherwise, Chen Ping'an, who had killed a second-level warrior, would not have mobilized those assassins.

It may also be a test, first determine the depth of Chen Ping'an, and of course his attitude towards the assassination that year, and then the Dali court will make a decision.

Chen Pingan's thoughts gradually drifted away.

Thought a lot.

For no reason, I remembered a scene that I was very envious of when I was young. I watched my peers from a distance gathering around the Immortal Tomb and having fun. They liked to play good guys and bad guys, black and white. Of course, there were also people who played husband and wife, mostly from wealthy families. The boy acted as the husband-in-law, the beautiful little girl played the role of the little lady, and the others played the roles of housekeepers, servants, and maids. They were presentable and lively, and there were many things that the children had stolen from home. They tried their best to make the "little lady" Dress up nicely.

After growing up, when I look back, at first glance, it is full of innocence and childishness, but at second glance, it is not so beautiful. It seems that in childhood, children have learned knowledge that they will use throughout their lives.

Chen Pingan took off the sword gourd, drank wine, and walked to the viewing platform.

It was dark at night, and the ferry had just passed the top of the old Beiyue Mountain of Da Li. It was vaguely visible that the mountain was extremely steep, just like Da Li's style of doing things.

The bright moon is in the sky.

Chen Pingan opened his eyes wide and looked at the mountain and the moon.

The moon is small when the mountain is near and far away, so this means that the mountain is larger than the moon. If someone has eyes as big as the sky, he should see that the mountains are high and the moon is wider.

In a gorgeous house covered with the most exquisite lichen in Caiyi Country, a woman poured herself a cup of tea. She suddenly frowned. The stool was slightly higher, causing her feet to lift off the ground. Fortunately, she had the best ability in her life. , which means adapting. He lifted his heels higher from the ground, tapped the precious lichen with his toes lightly, and asked with a smile: "How is it?"

Song He thought for a while and said, "He is a person who is insufferable from both oil and salt."

The woman took a sip of tea and thought about it. It seemed that it was not as good as the spring tea in Changchun Palace. There was nothing good in that place. It was more deserted than a cold palace. They were all women who couldn't even chew their tongues. They were boring. , and the tea was good, so that those years of cultivating Taoism on the mountain were not too painful. She deliberately drank a sip of tea and chewed a piece of tea leaf in her mouth. In her opinion, the best taste in the world can only be found in the form of tea. Only after hard work can you slowly taste the good taste. After swallowing the finely chewed tea leaves, he slowly said: "Without any ability or character, a bastard who grew up smelling chicken and dog excrement in Mubo Alley, can Live to this day? How old are you? How much wealth does a young man of only 21 years old earn? "

Song He didn't care much about the mountain owner of Luo Luo Mountain, but his mother had to drag him along, so he had no choice but to follow her.

Song He had known clearly since he was a child what kind of blessings he would enjoy and how much trouble he would endure when he became emperor. Just after becoming emperor, how much red tape had he done in a year? Fortunately, Song He was so skillful that he didn't look like a new king. It's no wonder that some old immortals in the court who didn't like him stared wide-eyed just to find fault with him. They probably had sore eyes. I couldn't find any flaws, so I could only hold my nose and recognize it.

Song He said with a smile: "If I had those good fortunes, I wouldn't be much worse than Chen Ping'an."

The woman asked, "Do you really think so?"

Song He smiled and nodded.

The woman narrowed her eyes and twirled the exquisite teacup with plum-green glaze between her fingers, "Think about it carefully and then answer me."

Song He quickly raised his hands and said with a smile: "It's my son's angry words. Mother, don't be upset."

However, the woman did not return to her usual doting look. When mother and son were alone, she would not regard Song He as some kind of Emperor of Dali. She said sternly: "Qi Jingchun will choose you?! Can you, Song He, endure hardship?!"

Song He shook his head: "No way."

"Some places are not as good as others, just not as good as others. There is no one in the world who is worse than others in everything and takes advantage of them!"

The woman said angrily: "Since you were born to enjoy happiness, then you should think carefully about how to enjoy happiness. This is a good thing that many people in the world would envy. Don't forget, this is never an easy thing! You If you feel that you have finally become the emperor of Dali, you dare not slack off at all. I will leave the words here today. One day, if you make a fool of yourself and lose the dragon chair, Song Mu takes it and sits on it. Your mother is still the Queen Mother of Dali. , who will you be when the time comes?! Others don’t know the truth, or dare not mention it even if they know it, but your husband Cui Chan, and your uncle Song Changjing, will they forget?! When we want to say something, we two can stop it ?”

Song He said guiltily: "It's my fault, I shouldn't get carried away."

In the past, the woman would have said something nice and comforting, but today it was very different. Her son's gentleness and well-behavedness seemed to make her more and more angry.

The woman placed the tea cup heavily, tea splashed everywhere, and her face was cold, "How did I teach you in the first place? Living deep in the palace, it is difficult to see the outside world, so I begged Your Majesty to come and teach you personally. Reading, not only that, my mother will take you secretly out of the palace whenever she has the opportunity, and walk around the capital, just to let you see how a poor family prospered, how a rich family fell, what fools are How to live, how do smart people die! Everyone has their own way of living and their own advantages and disadvantages, just to let you see clearly the complexity and truth of this world!"

"Do you still remember why my mother beat you for the first time in her life? In the market, ignorant people laughed and said that the emperor must use the golden pole at home to eat several large plates of steamed buns in one meal. When you heard this, you thought it was funny and laughed. You can’t help but smile, isn’t that funny?! Do you know that the embroidered tiger who was traveling with us looked at you the same way you looked at the common people!”

"Can a dragon chair and a dragon robe be eaten? When the day comes when everything is exhausted, is it really worth a few steamed buns? How did the Imperial Master teach you that in the world, those who achieve great things must have a solid foundation? The unknown dark place, the more consistent it is with the common sense of the world, the more unbreakable it is by wind and rain! Who is the example given by the Imperial Master? It is the old man Guan who seems to be sleepy all year round! Who is the counter-example? The ancestors of the Yuan and Cao families, who seem to have gone down in history and have infinite glory! How dare you, Song He, not be interested in teaching the bad guys how to live well in such a clear way?!"

The woman stood up, furious, "Those shabby books that have been kept secret by the kings of the world, the so-called emperor's books, and other hidden secrets that are so hidden that they dare not see others, they are nothing! They are those big books. Isn't it wrong? Is it wrong? No! It couldn't be better, it couldn't be more right! But do you understand why Aquarius Continent has so many emperors and kings, big and small, and how many are left now? How many people have become wise kings? It’s because these guys sitting on the dragon throne, with their little vision, temperament, and ability to control people, can’t support the principles in those books! Xiuhu taught them back then His achievements and knowledge, which words, which great principles, did not start from the most inconspicuous and trivial matter?"

The woman's face was livid, and she pointed at the face of the young emperor of Da Li, "You have endured hardships with a bitch today, and you feel that you are better than him. Are you going to compete with your brother tomorrow for merit, and feel that you are greater? With I competed with the imperial masters on learning, and competed with my uncle on martial arts, but they all thought you were not bad at all? Who gave you the courage to let Song He be so generous to you? Am I a person who has been living with my tail between my legs all my life? I was tricked by the Lu family in China and became Ying The late Emperor who died young? Or the Imperial Master who looks down on you as a disciple from the bottom of his heart?!"

Song He also stood up and remained silent.

There is no resentment or resentment at all, and I accept the teachings with an open mind.

Even though he is now the man sitting on the dragon throne.

The woman lamented, slumped back on the chair, and looked at her son who was reluctant to sit down. Her eyes were filled with resentment, "He'er, do you think mother is very annoying?"

Song He then sat down and laughed softly: "If I were not worried about the criticism from the government and the public, I would like to let my mother listen to politics behind the curtain and have a good time. In this way, my mother can leave more ink in the history of history."

The woman laughed angrily: "Nonsense!"

Song is harmonious, Song is harmonious, harmonious and harmonious, the family is harmonious and everything is prosperous.

The door to the market and the home of the emperor are very different, but the truth is actually the same.

It's just that the woman had to make a difficult choice at that time. She gave up one son and kept the other. She had to send her infant son to the Lizhu Cave for the sake of the Song Dynasty. After "died of illness", On the family genealogy, the name "Song Mu" that was supposed to be Song He was checked off. Not only was the second son able to stay in the capital, he also got the name Song He and the status of the eldest son.

Only then did the Song Dynasty collect salary in Nipingxiang, and Song Yuzhang left the capital and served as the kiln supervisor. After his success, he returned to the capital to report his work to the Ministry of Rites, and then returned. Finally, he was killed by the Lu family next to the woman. The surrendered general cut off the head with his own hands, put it in a box and sent it to the late emperor. The late emperor stayed alone in the imperial study room all night, flipping through a file until dawn. Later, he issued an imperial edict and asked the Ministry of Rites to confer Song Yuzhang as the official of Luolu Mountain. The new mountain god, and the statues in the temple only have gold-plated heads. Finally, the people up and down the mountain in Longquan County were called the "Golden-headed Mountain God".

The Zongren Mansion, which is responsible for compiling jade certificates and managing the list of the Song family clan in Dali, had several elderly people die more than 20 years ago. Twenty years later, just last year and this year, another group died, all of them. "Death of old age". It's just that it was the late emperor's decree that he had to die. This time, it was these old people who were tired of living and wanted to die. They actually made a huge bet on a prince who had no foundation and wanted to reverse the case and fight for a " "old and young" status.

Song He said goodbye and left.

The woman drinks tea alone.

She had mixed feelings.

Whether it was Song Jixin or "Song Mu", he was her biological flesh and blood after all, how could he not have any feelings.

Back then, she was holding her infant eldest son in her arms and staring at the pink and lovely son. With tears on her face, she murmured: "Who made you the elder brother? Who told you to be born in the Song family of Dali? Who told you to be born in the Song family of Dali? Where are our cruel parents?"

The late emperor was present at that time, but he was not angry at all.

Over the years, she did not hesitate to go beyond the limits and peek into the secret files. However, after being reprimanded by the late emperor, she gave up completely and treated her son as dead.

In the end, the more guilt she felt, the more afraid she was of facing Song Jixin and hearing anything about him.

I am even more afraid that one day in the future, I will drag down my "only son" who is raised by my side, and end up being like a basket case.

Song Yuzhang, who had been a kiln affairs supervisor for many years, originally had a chance to avoid death. To say the least, he could at least die later and with more glory. For example, according to the earliest arrangement of the late emperor, Song Yuzhang would die first. He worked in the Ministry of Rites for a few years, and then transferred to the Qingshui Yamen, which was aristocratic and powerless, and his rank was definitely not low. There was no need to think about the Dajiuqing, including the officials of the Six Departments, the late emperor would definitely not give it to him, but the Xiaojiuqing was destined to be The things in the bag, such as the minister of Taichang Temple, or the concubine of Honglu Temple and Zuo Chunfang, are equivalent to being imprisoned and enjoying the blessings for ten or twenty years. After death, they will receive a high-ranking posthumous title, which is also considered a big deal. The Li Song family treated the hero favorably.

You must know that the construction of the covered bridge was handled by Song Yuzhang from beginning to end. The biggest scandal of the Song family in Dali is buried there. Once it is leaked, it will be caught by Guanhu Academy, and it will even affect Dali's annexation of Aquarius Continent. pattern.

Therefore, the late emperor was kind and generous enough to Song Yuzhang.

But it should not be done at all. In the small town of Lizhudongtian, there are already rumors that Song Jixin is the illegitimate son of him, the supervisor. It has become known to everyone. Song Yuzhang still doesn't know how to restrain himself and doesn't know how to hide it. He dared to show signs of father-son affection to Song Jixin. The most damning thing about Song Yuzhang was that deep down in his heart, Song Jixin seemed to be resentful of this supervisor, and indeed hoped that Song Yuzhang was really himself. His biological father was clearly recorded bit by bit in the secret file. After Song Yuzhang returned to Longquan County as an official of the Ministry of Rites, he still refused to repent. What else could he do if he didn't die? Therefore, even if Song Yuzhang died, the late emperor still did not intend to let go of this loyal minister who had offended Nilin. He allowed her to cut off her head and bring it back to the capital, and then consecrated her to the title of Luolu Mountain God. A gold-headed mountain god, reduced to the entire Xinbei Mountain. Jokes from the underworld.

Even if the late emperor has left.

The woman was still afraid of this man who was so talented but died young in middle age.

She loved him very much and was full of adoration and admiration for him.

But he died neither early nor late, just right, and she was actually very happy.

For some women, love is just a condiment for cooking. Having it is the best thing, but if you don’t have it, it doesn’t matter, there is always something you can make up for from elsewhere.

The old immortal master in white who had previously put a fairy covered bridge into his sleeves stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I think our Queen Mother has started teaching her son again."

Xu Ruo smiled but was speechless.

The Dali ferry turned around and headed south, while the Gugutan ferry continued northward.

The old man turned his head and glanced at the north, and said softly: "Why did you choose Dong Shuijing instead of this person?"

Xu Ruo smiled and said: "Compassion does not control soldiers, and righteousness does not control wealth."

The old man sneered, not hiding his disapproval.

Xu Ruo held the hilt of the sword behind him with both hands, looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance with a relaxed attitude.

Below the ferry, in the north of Aquarius Island, the source of the river is as wide as a broom.

The old man is the main lineage of the Mo family who bets on the Great Li Queen and is the talker in Aquarius Continent.

He has always had a good relationship with Xu Ruo and that "old carpenter", but the latter lost the fight to become the Mohist master, moved away from the Middle-earth Divine Continent, and finally chose the Song family of Dali.

At that time, the Mo family of their lineage was accompanied by a branch of the Lu family of the Yin Yang family. The two parties hit it off immediately, and began to risk the disapproval of the world and secretly build the imitation Bai Yujing that could kill the Immortal Realm monks.

Not only that, the great monk of the Yin and Yang family also had more hidden and sinister methods. He tricked the late Emperor Da Li to violate Confucian etiquette and practice without authorization to reach the middle five realms. Once the emperor broke through, he would maintain his spiritual intelligence and secretly become a master. As a string puppet, and the state of his body will be gone, it will be equivalent to returning to the body of an ordinary master. When the time comes, it may not be the Cliff Academy in the capital city of Dali, or the Guanhu Academy in the middle of Aquarius Continent, it will be noticed. There are no clues but no traces to be found. Only the Lu family of the Yin and Yang family, who has a profound foundation, can imagine and achieve such a large-scale feat of the Immortal family.

Regarding this matter, even the "old carpenter" surnamed Luan was deceived. Even if he got along day and night, he still didn't notice it. It has to be said that the monk from the branch of the Lu family was thoughtful, and of course the palace of the late Emperor Dali was deep.

The Cliff Academy of the State Masters Cui Han and Qi Jingchun chose the Dali Song family after these two lines. As for the two literary saint disciples Cui Han and Qi Jingchun, apart from assisting and studying, the pair had already turned against each other but became enemies. It's hard to say what each of the senior brothers who are neighbors really want.

As soon as the last A Liang came.

It completely changed the structure of Da Li and the entire Aquarius Continent.

After A Liang's sword strike, the imitation Bai Yujing built with half the country's effort failed to function properly. Within decades, the sword array could no longer be used to kill enemies thousands of miles away. The Song family of Dali suffered heavy losses and their vitality was damaged. However, It was a blessing in disguise that Lu Chen, the headmaster who secretly came to Lizhu Cave Heaven, seemed to be too lazy to argue with Da Li. When he came to Haoran World and then returned to Qing Ming World, he did not take action to destroy Da Li's White Jade Palace. Lu Chen's men showed no mercy. , is still a strange thing that puzzles many experts. If Lu Chen takes action because of this, even if it is to express anger at the Great Li Dynasty, the deputy leader of the Middle-earth Confucian Temple and the accompanying saints will not do it. stop.

After that, the Great Li Cavalry accelerated southward.

The creation of the imitation white jade capital consumed half of the power of the Song family in Dali.

In addition, Da Li had been using a secret channel to source the fairy money and open accounts with others, allowing Luan Juzi and the Mohist organ masters to build eight "mountain" ferries.

It can be said that as long as the Great Li's southward movement is blocked and stalled somewhere, it only needs to be delayed for another three to five years. Even if the Great Li cavalry's combat power is not greatly damaged, the Great Li Song family will support it. Not going down.

Therefore, the Zhu Ying Dynasty was fighting to stop the Great Li Cavalry at the time, and it was by no means motivated. However, the surrounding vassal states fought desperately to resist, using tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops to consume the Great Li Cavalry. The same thing happened behind the scenes. With the guidance and operation of experts, otherwise under the general situation, there is a huge disparity in combat power between the two sides, and they are destined to lose miserably on the battlefield. Who would be willing to die in vain?

This old Mohist monk had a very bad impression of Cui Chan in his early years. He always felt that it was hard to live up to his reputation and that it was too vain. So what if he had a Caiyun Pu with the Lord of Baidi City? So what if Literary Sage accepted disciples in the past, and what if he had cultivated in the Twelve Realms, he was a single-handed man with no background and no mountains. What’s more, in the Middle-earth Divine Continent, he, Cui Chan, was still not among the top few. After being expelled from the Cultural Saint's cultural context and packing up and returning to his hometown of Aquarius Continent, how much can he accomplish?

But after Xu Ruo persuaded the current giant of the Mo family's main lineage, they actually came to Aquarius Continent, a remote barbarian land, and they began to realize Cui Chan's power bit by bit.

Last year, at the critical juncture when the Great Li cavalry was blocked from the country by the Zhu Ying dynasty, probably to appease people's hearts and the turbulent trend of the Great Li southward movement, Cui Cheng, who had never liked to show up, finally took some old men and sat down to talk frankly. , we had a good chat. Instead of talking about the inevitable success of the Great Li and how to divide the benefits after success, Cui Han only talked about every advancement step of the Great Li Cavalry in the next ten years, almost specific to the details of each year's great success. Who did the three Li cavalry fight against, where did they fight, what were the battle losses of both sides, and the corresponding situation of the Li cavalry's treasury, etc., are all "little things" that cannot be more detailed, and then Guanhu Academy , Zhenwu Mountain and Fengxue Temple, the mountaintop forces of Aquarius Continent, how will their respective attitudes change slightly at different stages, and when will Shen Gaozong Qizhen come into the game and finally be willing to meet the Great Li Envoy? Cui Zhanlian's resurgence on the new territory of Da Li in the future, the repeated tug of war with Da Li's garrison, why the fuse started, and how it will end, and Da Li's gains and losses during this period are explained one by one.

At the end, Cui Han asked everyone to wait and see, believe it or not, whether they should give up halfway and retreat, or increase their bets. Don't worry, just watch the fire from the other side and see if the Great Li cavalry can win Zhu Zhu according to the steps given by Cui Han. Ying Dynasty.

Facts have proved that Cui Yi was right.

Until that moment, the old monk had to admit that Cui Chan was really good at playing chess.

However, the old monk was also a sharp-edged figure. He didn’t believe in evil, so he ran to ask Cui Han how he did it. He didn’t believe that there was such a thing as a god or a prophet in the world. After all, there were no real chess players competing for victory in one continent. Fiddle with a few chess pieces.

Cui Chan took him to a heavily guarded Dali archive, which was secretly built on the outskirts of the capital.

Nearly five hundred people, half of them monks, are doing one thing, which is to collect spies, obtain information, and connect with dead spies from all over the continent.

The military arrangements of all the dynasties and vassal states in Aquarius Continent, the distribution of forces on the mountain, and the personal information of important civil and military officials were divided into categories. The belly of a mountain was completely hollowed out and filled with these archives that had been accumulated for hundreds of years.

This is not even the most shocking thing to the old monk. The thing that really makes the old monk of the Mo family feel terrible is a "little thing" that is easily ignored.

At that time, the Great Li State Master, who was wearing a Confucian shirt, led him to visit the Great Li Forbidden Land called "Book Mountain". Along the way, everyone who came and went, without exception, walked in a hurry. He saw a State Master, but They just gave way for a while, and then said goodbye. There was no kneeling down to bow, no polite greetings. Even if the Imperial Master asked something, they only asked and answered. Both sides spoke concisely, and then they went their separate ways.

As a master of the Mo family and a leader among the machine warlocks, the old monk's feeling at that time was that when he came back to his senses and looked around again, when he was in this "book mountain", it was like being in a Zhengu Shuo Today's huge and complex institutions are full of principles, precision and fit.

Many monks in history came down the mountain to "support the dragon". Compared with the actions of this embroidered tiger, they were like children playing house. When they achieved a little success, they were overjoyed.

The infamous First Disciple of the Literary Saint remained silent for a hundred years after leaving the Middle-earth Divine Continent where stars gathered.

It's funny to say that when the eight "mountain" ferries slowly took off and the Great Li cavalry officially headed south, almost no one cared what Cui Chan was doing in Aquarius Island.

Along the way, Chen Ping'an was studying Beiju Luzhou Yayan.

In this regard, Beiju Luzhou is worse than Baopingzhou and Tongyezhou. Yayan is widely used in the continent. There are also Mandarin and local dialects in various countries, but they are far less complicated than the other two continents. Moreover, people are accustomed to communicating in Yayan when they go out. , This saves Chen Ping'an a lot of trouble. On the other side of the Hanging Mountain, Chen Ping'an has suffered a lot. For monks from other continents, it is difficult to understand the elegant words of Aquarius Continent. Contempt.

The Pima Sect ferry was about to land. Chen Pingan arranged his salutes and came to the boat railing on the first floor. The army of strong men dragging the ferry and flying through the sky was very mysterious. It seemed that it was not a pure ghost, but a kind of intermediary. The existence between Yin spirit ghosts and talisman puppets.

Underfoot is the vast land of bones. It is not the ghostly and dense atmosphere in Chen Ping'an's impression. Instead, there are several gorgeous brilliance that shoot straight into the clouds and linger, like auspiciousness.

The Skeleton Beach has a radius of thousands of miles, and is mostly plains and tidal flats. There are few mountains and peaks like the ordinary Zongzitou Xianjia, and there are many mountains and mountains.

There is only one large river under the jurisdiction of Skeleton Beach that runs from north to south. It is not like the meandering of ordinary rivers. It is as straight as a sword, and there are almost no tributaries spreading. It is probably a hidden mystery.

There is only one Immortal shop on the Pima Sect ferry, with a lot of goods. The treasures of the shop are two magic weapons of very high grade, both of which are the damaged swords of the ancient immortals. If it were not for the fact that the sword blades on both sides were unrolled and injured, The two ancient swords have lost the possibility of being repaired as they were before. Otherwise, they should both be worthy of being half-immortal weapons. The most praiseworthy thing is that the two swords are the so-called "Taoist companions" on the mountain. For "Yu Luo", a sword named "Deng Ming" is said to be the sword of a pair of sword immortals and Taoists in Luzhou, Beiju.

Therefore, the ferry was not dismantled and sold, but the price of the two magical swords was one hundred Grain Rain coins.

There is also a gimmick in this deal, Earth Immortal Sword Cultivator can buy it at a 20% discount. You can get a 40% discount on the swordsman of the upper five realms.

It's just that compared to the Earth Immortal cultivator, the price is really expensive, and it's even more worthless for an Upper Five Realm Sword Immortal.

Chen Pingan was just addicted to the eyes, and he was short of money. Besides, even if he had money, Chen Pingan would not be taken advantage of.

However, Chen Ping'an still went to the shop with the plaque "Xuuhen" and bought a few small and cheap items. One was a spiritual device connected to the mirror of Mount Dili, a flower in the water and the moon, and a celadon pen washer, which was similar to Chen Lingjun's water bowl back then. Because in the fairy book of Hanging Mountain, there is a special mention of Trishan Mountain, which is a place specially used for sword practice and sword competition. As long as any grievances and grievances are agreed to be settled at Trishan Mountain, there is no need to make a life or death agreement between the two parties. Once they reach Tuili Mountain, they will start fighting until one is killed. For thousands of years, there have been almost no exceptions.

Then there is an antique inkstone for poetry and literature, and a box of rearranged stone drums and inkstones made by the last emperor of a certain fallen dynasty, totaling ten ingots.

When Chen Ping'an was settling the bill with the store, the shopkeeper showed up in person and said with a smile that Master Wei of Piyunshan had spoken, and any expenses incurred at "Xuhen" Shop would be recorded in Piyunshan's account.

Chen Ping'an was not polite and asked, would it be okay if I bought a few more pieces?

The shopkeeper smiled and shook his head, saying that Master Wei had also said that after he, the shopkeeper, came forward, the agreement between the two parties would be invalidated.

Chen Pingan still smiled and thanked the shopkeeper. After some conversation, Chen Pingan found out that although the shopkeeper opened a shop on the ferry of Pima Sect, he was not a monk of Pima Sect. , each one is more valuable than the other, and after the founder of the mountain migrated from the Central Plains, he established a quota of "thirty-six direct descendants of the inner sect and one hundred and eight outer disciples". Therefore, Skeleton Beach is mostly composed of outsiders like him.

The old shopkeeper was a talkative person and introduced to Chen Ping'an the many customs and customs of Skeleton Beach, as well as some taboos on the mountain.

The two were chatting and laughing at the boat rail, but Chen Ping'an turned around and saw that at the end of the sky as far as the eye could see, two sword lights criss-crossed, and each time they clashed, a large ball of light and lightning was emitted.

The old shopkeeper was not surprised and said with a smile: "It's a common thing. The sword cultivators here are just stretching their muscles. Mr. Chen, you will understand if you see that they always stay away from the central area of ​​​​the Skeleton Beach, otherwise the two sides will really fight. , I don’t care about your Skeleton Beach Pi Ma Sect, it’s not surprising that you are flying around on the roof of the Patriarch Hall. At worst, you will be beaten away by the Pi Ma Sect monks, vomiting three liters of blood or something, it doesn’t matter, you are capable enough. , let’s just have a chaotic fight among the three parties to feel comfortable.”

Chen Pingan was speechless.

This Beiju Luzhou is really a... good place.
