Sword comes

Chapter 939 Peach Leaf Sees Peach Blossom

In the territory of Mengliang Country, the Huangliang Sect, which is a neighbor of Yunxia Mountain, has a ancestral mountain called Loushan, located in Bieyi County, Huai'an Prefecture, Mengliang Country.

Ever since the Huangliang faction bought Yidai Peak as an enclave of "downhill" in the mountains to the west of the former site of Lizhu Dongtian, it seems that they have been unlucky and started to turn around and have good luck.

First, in the early years, he used a bag of Spring Festival money as road money, and then used the remaining bag of winning money to buy Yidaifeng from the Dali court, and the price doubled several times.

Then Liu Hongwen, the uncle who was sent to Yidai Peak for the elderly, got acquainted with that desolate mountain. It is said that on the side of the mountain owner Chen Pingan, everyone would be honored as Master Liu. Chen Lingjun, the enshrinement of Luopo Mountain, is a very good drinking buddy, and his uncle has also participated in several night banquets on Beiyue Piyun Mountain, so he and Wei Shanjun must be considered familiar faces.

In the words of my uncle, I, Liu Hongwen, sat in the front row every time at the night feast of Wei Shanjun. I was seated in the front row when I was not under the Yuanying. , Twice is the Jiangshui Zhengshen of the Xiuhua River, and once is the City God of Longzhou, in the landscape and officialdom of the Dali court, which one is worse?In Mengliang Kingdom, even the highest-ranked Mountain Monarch of the Five Sacred Mountains could sit next to the Water God of the Embroidered Flower River?

Afterwards, a descendant of the Patriarch Hall who was placed with high hopes, really succeeded in becoming a golden elixir.

That's why the Huangliang Sect's opening ceremony will be held in the first month of next year.

Three golden pills within one door.

In addition, the closed door disciple who was the head of the sect, the one who went to the Lizhu Cave to seek opportunities but failed, now also shows signs of loosening the bottleneck of the Longmen Realm.

Previously, Gao Zhen had a gentleman's appointment with his uncle. Since the uncle really fulfilled the "gambling agreement" and invited the guests from Mount Luopo for the Huangliang Sect, then Yidai Peak would not need to be sold.

The Huangliang Pai specially selected two adjacent mansions with the best views.

The young man in Confucian shirt, named Li Huai, claimed to be from the Cliff Academy, and the old man in yellow beside him seemed to be a follower.His name is Couple Lu, and he doesn't have a surname. His Taoist name is Longshan Gong. On the pass, it shows that he is a casual cultivator from Nan Po Suozhou.

Since this pair of master and servant were unexpected visitors, the Huangliang faction had some guesses. They thought that this academy student was probably born in a wealthy family at the foot of the mountain, so he had a monk as a retinue at a young age. .

At this moment, Li Huai was flipping through a book that looked like a literati's notes in the room. It was a yellowed book that was randomly pulled out from the corner of the bookshelf. It was stamped with several seals, which seemed to be the collection seals of the local literati in Mengliang Kingdom, which can be regarded as inheritance In order, there is a note on the last two pages of the book, which roughly explains the origin of the book. It was obtained from a place called Fenhe Shrine, and it was a gift from the temple.

Because Li Huai was a Confucian student in the academy, the Huangliang School gave him such an elegant house.Plaque couplets, the four treasures of the study, offerings from the Sui Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, everything is available, and several calligraphy and painting jars are filled with scrolls of calligraphy and painting.

Li Huai is actually very ashamed, but it's just not easy to yell, in fact, I don't read much.

Daoist Nen sat on the threshold, seemingly sleeping but not sleeping, concentrating on studying the ancient score. The old blind man threw the "Alchemy Mountain" to him like garbage, but unfortunately it was only the first half.

But just the first half has already benefited Taoist Nen a lot. He and Yuan Shou, one of the old throne monsters in the wild world, naturally had a battle for the way. With Taoist Nen's pushing the mountain, the technique means, the height of the Taoism, both sides are similar, except that Yuan Shou, whose real name is Zhu Yan, seems to have learned from his concubine Yangzhi during the "eat mountain" process of refining the mountain's dragon veins. The ancient supernatural powers made both of them great monks of the Ascension Realm. Zhu Yan had long since reached the "perfection" of the Great Dao Realm, while the Wild Taoting Pavilion was at the slightly inferior "Peak". Pursue the illusory Fourteenth Realm.

It's not that Nun Taoist had never thought about it before, and wanted to ask Li Huai to ask the old blind man.

As a result, Li Huai dispelled Taoist Nen's thoughts with just a few words.

"If I am willing to help you, but do you really think that most of my master is willing to give you the second half of the ancient notation if I beg?"

"Taking a step back, even if he can't save face on my side and gives you the second half, do you really dare to practice?"

Nen Taoist sighed, my son, I am really not stupid.

Li Huai is hiding it for the sake of the venerable, so it is not easy to say it directly. His old blind man, who is more than half of his master, is very easy to talk to Li Huai, but it is difficult to talk to you, Lao Nen.

In fact, this wild peach pavilion was only at the old blind man's side, covering up all the limelight, otherwise it would only be at Yuanyangzhu's side, from Nanguangzhao, to Xianren Yunmo, to those who watched the battle from afar, Qinzao, Strict and Tian Ni Zhiliu, who dares to treat this tender Taoist as a heartless "old man"?As for Taoist Nen, before he became the watchdog of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, in that barren world, since he was able to fight a few times with the old throne, Yuan Shou, how could he be easily provoked?In the history of the wild, there used to be a "young" Ascension Realm who rose to fame, known as the "Little Yuan Shou", who moved mountains with great proficiency. In just 1000 years, he ate up hundreds of mountains and the Patriarch Hall. As for the outside world, they are guessing how much chance he has of winning against Tao Ting, and some guesses are at least [-]%.

As a result, this great monk, who was in the limelight for a while, was really blocked by Taoting during an outing. The two sides fought and fought a million miles away. After a hearty battle, only Taoting was left One, stopped in the air, patted his stomach, burped, and only said one sentence, "[-]% full."

Li Huai asked curiously: "Why there are so many Jindan monks in the history of the Huangliang Sect, but there is not a single Nascent Soul, isn't Feng Shui a little too weird?"

Nen Daoist said with a smile: "Maybe it's due to borrow and pay back."

On that ferry before, as the well-deserved "Patriarch" of the Lushan Mountains in the world, Taoist Nen saw the ins and outs of Loushan when he looked for it. , only to discover an inconspicuous "going vein" in the Loushan boundary. There is a grotto dojo hidden between the cliffs, which happens to belong to the place reflected by Xuanji with a bucket handle. It lingers for a long time and is not eye-catching, but it is extremely concise and restrained, so it is extremely difficult to find. If the mountain of Loushan is a prominent "official appearance" like a person wearing a crimson dress, anyone who knows a little bit of qi can, Everyone can see the depth, so this place belongs to the treasure gourd that was planted deep in the ground, and a treasure of longevity is bred, and the ground vein is a "official goldfish bag" that is like a natural blindfold.

Seeing that his young master was confused, Taoist Nen explained patiently: "This Huangliang sect, when its luck was the most prosperous in the early years, it is said that together with several priests and guest officials, there are twelve golden elixirs in a patriarch hall. At that time, Aquarius Island was not a well-deserved first-class fairy mansion. However, there was a man of Taoism who was proficient in the principles of the ups and downs of all things, and he accumulated some wealth for Lou Shan year after year. Over time, he became A treasure house is just a monk of the Huangliang Sect, who has never been able to produce a true cultivator, so he cannot enter the door, because this treasure house needs a key and someone needs to open the door."

Li Huai was amazed, "Twelve Jindan Earth Immortals are sitting in the Patriarch Hall to discuss matters at the same time, it is spectacular."

So at that time, the Huangliang sect looked at Yunxia Mountain even with Yuanying sitting on the top of the mountain, with a condescending gaze.

Moreover, the relationship between Huangliang Sect and Mengliang Kingdom can be understood just by looking at the name of the sect and the name of the country.

Compared with Yunxia Mountain, the monarchs of all dynasties must have been more naturally close to Loushan in their hearts, and of course they are willing to spare no effort to support the Huangliang Sect.

The tender Taoist chuckled.

What if there were twelve Earth Immortals in that wild world where only one person could eat enough to practice?Regardless of whether you are a golden elixir or a nascent baby, it is not enough for you to eat in one bite.

Li Huai asked curiously: "Master Gao is considered a sword fairy, so why not be the door opener with the key?"

Nun Taoist choked for a moment.

I wanted to say that the head of the Huangliang Sect was just a golden core swordsman with poor aptitude, what a thing.

Just getting along with Li Huai day and night, knowing that his young master doesn't like this kind of rhetoric, Nen Daoist changed the way of saying, "It's a bit far away from what I called the embryo of cultivating Taoism before."

The head of the mountain, Gao Zhen, is a very old "young" Jindan. He was once a genius of Taoism with high hopes because of his diligent cultivation for three hundred years. The two bottlenecks of watching the sea didn't take too long, but they have been stagnant in Longmen for nearly 200 years. According to the counting method on the mountain, the "Dao Age" of becoming a golden alchemist is actually only a short forty years.

In the early years, the only reason why he was able to serve as the mountain master of the Huangliang School in the Longmen Realm was because of his status as a high-spirited swordsman. For hundreds of years, there were only two swordsmen in the Huangliang School, and the younger one, now He is a child who has not been on the mountain for a few years. Although he was found by the monks of the Huangliang faction at the foot of the mountain, and then led up the mountain himself, the final result is not surprising.

This is a common practice on the mountain in Haoran Tianxia. For example, Zhuyufeng Tianwan from Zhengyang Mountain found Su Jia and Wu Tijing one after another. mountain peak.So even the leader of the Huangliang Sect didn't feel aggrieved at all, even when the sword cultivator worshiped Gao Zhen as his teacher, he was willing to give a spiritual weapon that had been treasured for many years as a gift.

The previous mountain master had already made a will before retreating. If he failed to retreat, he had to die and let Gao Zhen take over as the master.

The relationship between Gao Zhen and his uncle Liu Hongwen was not good, and it was also caused by this. Liu Hongwen is a monk of the older generation who values ​​face and rules, just like those old people who are down in the mountains and rivers and lakes. To be the head of a mountain is too outrageous, how rich my ancestors are, in this Aquarius Continent, if it is placed in the dynasty under the mountain, it will be the kind of wealthy family with four generations and three princes. It is a big joke to spread this kind of thing , Ashamed of the ancestors, what face do you have to go to the Patriarch Hall to burn incense?

Afterwards, even if the sect leader succeeded in forming alchemy and became a well-known "Sword Immortal" in the southern part of Aquarius Continent, the relationship with his uncle Liu Hongwen did not ease much.

Why do you want me, Liu Hongwen, an elder of the mountain gate who is a master, to bow his head and admit his mistakes to his nephew?

Taoist Nen said helplessly: "My lord, why is the Golden Core cultivator on your side, still an expert?"

Li Huai seemed even more helpless, "Didn't everyone on the mountain say, 'It's my generation to form a golden core'? Since I have become a land god, I am not an expert. I just met some great monks, and it was either me or me. Great monk, right?"

Taoist Nen immediately flattered him: "Master, this ordinary heart is far higher than my Dao heart, and it is hard to find."

Li Huai continued to flip through the book. After reading about half of the book, he really couldn't read it anymore. He knew all the words, and when he connected them into sentences, he often couldn't understand them. Talking about the mysterious words of famous scholars is far-fetched, and there is no high-level lecture in the blank space. Li Huai sighed, it is not a piece of material for reading, so he had to close the book, put it on the table, and stretch out his hand to wipe Ping, even if it is not a reading seed that can shine on the lintel, you still have to treat the books you get.

Nen Taoist is used to it, as long as my young master reads a book, he will frown, seriously, as for how much he can read, hehe.

Just talk about the "Alchemy Mountain" in his hand, Taoist Nen wanted to let his young master read it, but Li Huai quickly waved his hands and shook his head, saying, what am I doing reading this?Do you understand?Even if I can understand the content of the text, with my aptitude, I can practice cultivation, right?What are you thinking, Lao Nen, deliberately looking at my jokes?

But to be honest, Nen Taoist felt that even if he got the second half of "Alchemy Mountain", Nen Taoist didn't have the slightest confidence in entering the fourteenth realm.

That Yuan Shou, relying on that battle, how many hilltops in Fuyao and Tongye continents were eaten away?so what?No, it's still an Ascension Realm.

Besides, in this world of grandeur, Wei She of Aiaizhou, Nen Taoist walked the world with the Taoist name of Longshan Gong and the name of Couple Lu before, and he has already guessed the clue. Just above the word "mountain", Wei She has suffered a lot, and it is very likely that Wei She was so disheartened because he failed to enter the [-]th realm once or even twice.

"Old tender."

Taoist Nen asked in confusion, "Young master, what's the matter?"

Li Huai said: "I have an immature idea, just listen to it and let it go, if it's wrong, if you feel naive, just hold back your laughter."

Taoist Nen began to hold back his smile sullenly, "Sir, please tell me."

Li Huai said softly: "Lao Nen, your realm is already so high. If you rely on moving mountains, eating up all the mountain ranges, and digesting them one by one with your natal magical powers, of course you can increase your morality and raise your realm bit by bit. But I always feel that...it's a bit far away from the kind of... Dao that you mountain gods, especially monks who have attained Taoism have in mind. Isn't the ancient book in your hand called "Alchemy Mountain", after refining, Can you see those places where there is no shortage of water but only mountains, then you can spit out a few mountains occasionally... Just like in the book I just read, there is a saying called "Cultivation is full of three thousand skills, It is the foundation of Taoism and the foundation of law'. The foundation refers to the house and mansion where we ordinary people live, not the foot of the mountain. I think it makes sense. Wait a minute, let me flip through the book, here, There is also this sentence, the person who wrote this book, said here again, "Smelting in water and fire, refining in mountains and jade, why tell me about the cave"... It seems that there is also this sentence, "Borrowing stones from other mountains can attack you." Jade, other mountains are the mountains outside the body, and this jade is the mountain in the heart"... Whether it is the Taoist so-called heaven and earth, the parent of all things, or the poet's so-called heaven and earth reverse journey, or the one that Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism like to mention' "Heaven and man are one", I think in the final analysis, what it is, it is hard to say, but I am sure of one thing at least, it is definitely not... something like playing chess, there is no need to win or lose, it is not that you are more than me, The matter of cultivating the Tao is by no means a contradictory relationship that you have and I have nothing, and you add and I will lose. If you put it on Lao Nen, if you just blindly ask the world for mountains, hills and dragon veins, and eat all the way, what day will it be? Can’t we eat all the world’s five famous mountain ashrams? If, I mean if, if the entire world can be regarded as a great monk who is similar to a god, he must face endless challenges from human monks. If you don’t give up, I’m afraid you’ll find it annoying, isn’t that the reason? But I’m just a layman, so I’m just talking nonsense.”

In the beginning Taoist Nen looked relaxed, but when he heard Li Huai say the word "Da Dao", his Daoist heart was shocked. For no reason, Taoist Nen immediately raised his spirits, subconsciously straightened his back, and sat up straight. , Waiting for Li Huai to say the words "Foundation of Dao and Law", Daoist Nen's expression was already changing, and Taoist Nen was overwhelmed with complacency...

When Li Huai spoke dryly and stopped talking, no matter whether Lao Nen thought it was funny or not, Li Huai had already embarrassed himself by talking about it.

Speech is incoherent, stepping on the watermelon rind slides wherever it is, without any rules...

It's good that Chen Ping'an is here.

The old man in yellow suddenly regained his senses, stretched out his hand and patted the threshold under his buttocks, and murmured: "I have heard the Tao, and I have seen the Tao."

Li Huai looked down at the cover of the book. The person who wrote the book was named Lu Mingyan.

Daoist Nen was in high spirits, his eyes seemed to be agitated, he raised his head and asked, "My lord, who wrote this book?"

Li Huai smiled and said, "Lu Yan, seems to be a Taoist priest."

Taoist Nen asked suspiciously, "Which word, words of words? Or rocks of rocks?"

Li Huai said: "The rock character on the top grade down the mountain."

Taoist Nen stood up, shook his sleeves, faced Li Huai and the desk table, bowed and bowed three times, Li Huai, the book, and Lu Yan.

In the neighboring house, Chen Lingjun was squatting on the steps, watching Guo Zhujiu practicing boxing while shouting and drinking.

On the side of the Huangliang faction, there is no custom of having a New Year's Eve dinner on the mountain. Chen Lingjun and Taoist Nen have made a plan to let the guests do as they please, otherwise it will seem too embarrassing for the Huangliang faction.

Chen Lingjun asked: "Guo Zhujiu, you are a swordsman, why do you practice boxing here every day?"

Guo Zhujiu jumped up high, spun around and swept his legs, and after his body settled down, he said: "Diligence can make up for one's weakness."

Chen Lingjun rolled his eyes, did I ask you this?

Guo Zhujiu suddenly said: "That Huang Cong is really an emperor?"

That Huang Cong was the first emperor Guo Zhujiu met after he came to Haoran Tianxia.

Chen Lingjun stood up, put his hands on his hips, and said proudly: "You said that my brother Huang Cong must be the emperor of a country, and he didn't put on airs, right? He just didn't drink well, and he couldn't pick out the rest. There's nothing wrong with that."

Speaking of this, Chen Lingjun said bitterly: "I've already let the words out, Guo Zhujiu, turn around and be with the master, can you say something nice for me?"

Guo Zhujiu hummed, "Must."

Chen Lingjun was stunned instead, "Huh? Are you really willing to help?"

Guo Zhujiu said suspiciously: "I saw Master, I have a big basket to say, just say a few nice words for you, just put a small dustpan in the big basket, what do you like or not?"

Chen Lingjun nodded as quickly as a chicken pecking rice, his heart was so warm that tears almost filled his eyes on the spot.

It's true that ten Weishanjuns who don't talk about the morals of the rivers and lakes are not as good as a chivalrous Guo Zhujiu!

Guo Zhujiu suddenly stopped walking, "Look for Li Huai."

Chen Lingjun stood up and asked casually, "What are you going to do?"

Guo Zhujiu always wanted to jump up the wall as soon as he came out, and said: "Look for Li Huai and let him use his natal supernatural powers. The elder sister said it is very effective, and it has been tried repeatedly!"

Chen Lingjun got dizzy after hearing it for a while, and understood what Guo Zhujiu was talking about. It meant that Li Huai drew a talisman on the ground every time and wrote down Chen Ping's name, so that he could really see his master. Chen Lingjun looked up at the man who was already standing on the wall. The guy on the board said: "Li Huai is talking nonsense, and Pei Qian is spreading rumors, do you really believe it?"

Guo Zhujiu fled away like a bird, and said, "If you believe me, you will lose money."

Chen Lingjun thought about it, it seems right?

Immediately raised his voice and shouted, "Wait for me!"

It's just that Guo Zhujiu's habit of not going through the door and preferring to climb over the wall is really indescribable.

The next time I see her master, my master, I must secretly give a few words of advice.

At the gate of the mountain, a talisman paper kite was sent to the Loushan Zushitang. The paper kite flapped its wings, drew a golden firefly in the air, and went straight to Zushan.

It is not only a message, but also an announcement of good news.

The two young monks who are temporarily serving as gatekeepers, a man and a woman, are both in the Dongfu realm, but they are both the future hope of the Huangliang Sect. Taking this opportunity, it can be regarded as a small experience in the world at the foot of the mountain.As for the real gatekeeper who is more experienced, he led a group of guests up the mountain not long ago, and has not yet left the mountain.

The two people's faces were flushed, their eyes were wide open, and they looked at the green shirt with the posture of losing money if they missed a glance.

If I ran into a man in green shirt outside the mountain, I wouldn't dare to admit it.

Chen Pingan had no choice but to smile and nod to them. The man grinned and the woman pursed her lips. It seemed that she hadn't figured out how to speak properly, so she still didn't speak.

Shen Gaozong, as the leader on Baopingzhou Mountain, is of course a thunderous existence to Yizhou monks.

It's just that the "view of autumn hair" has never been heard of before.

And the blessed land of Yunku in Tongyezhou is also well-known. It is the private site of the respected old suzerain Jiang of Yuguizong.

This Immortal Master Ni was able to serve as the guest secretary of the blessed land of Yunku, and he came hand in hand with Chen Yinguan. He must be a strange person with extremely high Taoism.

Only the female cultivator named Qingtong, who claimed to be from Xiandu Mountain in Tongyezhou, had no clue.

"The gold is like iron when it is transported, and the iron is like gold when it comes. This Huangliang faction has encountered a good season, and it is hard to strike the iron itself. At least for three to five hundred years, you can really rest easy."

Lu Chen covered his sleeves with both hands, looked up at the Loushan Patriarchal Hall, and said with a smile in his heart: "I heard that Gao Zhen, the current head of the Huangliang School, is also a sword fairy? It's good to get the name of the head of Gao. .When Pindao returned to Qingming Tianxia, ​​one day he fell in love with a cultivator, and he planned to accept him as a direct heir. He must be given a Taoist name, called "Worriless". And tell him, or her, In the future, if you are successful in cultivating Taoism and able to travel far and wide, you must come to the Huangliang Sect as a guest, and say a few words of thanks to that sword fairy named Gao Zhen."

Chen Ping glanced at Lu Chen sideways.

Lu Chen imitated his example and squinted at Qing Tong.

Qingtong feels powerless, I can't compare with you two, but I'm not a fool.

Of course, Qingtong also heard what Lu Chen meant.

After Lu Chen returned to Qingming Tianxia, ​​he tried his luck and looked at the fate. In the future, the new direct disciple will have a "Worriless" Daoist Qi trainer in the future. If this person wants to travel across the world, at least he must be a great monk of the Ascension Realm, and then come to this mountain, see Gao Zhen with his own eyes, and thank him personally, which means that Gao Zhen of the Huangliang Sect must wait for this day.

And for a monk, if he wants to become an Ascension Realm, it will take at least a thousand years, or even two or three thousand years. If you are willing to personally teach the Taoism, and then pile all the opportunities, talents and treasures on him, 3000 years, no matter what, it should be 1000 years later.

Just say that Taoist Chunyang, didn't he also say, "In the eight hundred and autumn years since I became Taoist, I have never taken a human head with a flying sword"?

Lu Yan's so-called "obtaining the Tao" refers to forming alchemy by himself, and the eight hundred years of cold and heat that he did not sacrifice the flying sword refers to the years of practice before the ascension to the Tao.

In addition, such as Ningyao, the Great Wall of Sword Qi, and the likes of the wild world, after all, they are the only ones in the world.

From this, it can be seen that the years of cultivating the sword cultivator will not be short.

Presumably, this contemporary leader of the Huangliang Sect, who has been extremely troubled in forming alchemy, will have a different fortune in the future.

Lu Chen said with a smile: "Where are Dong Sangeng and the others, have you forgotten them? There is also Mr. Yinguan who is right in front of you, how dare you turn a blind eye?"

Qing Tong was worried, was Zhangjiao Lu implying to himself that apart from this Chen Yinguan who was right in front of him, there was also Mr. Zheng who was far away in the sky?

Lu Chen rolled his eyes straight, "Friend Qingtong, are you too smart?"

Chen Pingan reminded: "When we get to the mountain later, don't make trouble."

Lu Chen laughed and said, "Poverty, whenever he goes out, he is always kind to others."

Chen Ping laughed it off.

Lu Chen asked: "Do you think Gao Zhen will mobilize the crowd, call all the members of the Patriarch Hall, and come to the foot of the mountain to pick him up?"

Ni Yuanzan laughed and said, "The Huangliang Sect is also a fairy mansion that has seen the world, and it's not the city. It's like the magistrate of the county has entered the countryside and villages, and he has to beat gongs and drums to appear solemn."

Lu Chen suddenly gasped and rubbed his chin, "It's all right? Sure enough, there is no distinction between Taoism and law, and there is no difference between distance and nearness."

Except for Ni Yuanzan, who was in the Jade Raw Realm, who was still unaware, the rest of Chen Ping'an and Qingtong also noticed a mysterious ripple of Taoism in the mountains.

Chen Pingan asked in his heart: "Did Taoting find a way?"

Lu Chen nodded, "However, far from the state of 'great enlightenment', this fellow Taoist Taoist, at present, can only be said to have found a possibility, so he doesn't have to despair and wait for death."

Qing Tong said softly: "Chen Pingan, since it was Taoist Chunyang who asked you to find the Taoist sword formula that pointed directly at Jindan, we just passed by, why don't you take a look?"

Lu Chen couldn't help laughing, "Fellow Qing Tong, just rest assured, Pindao won't compete with Lord Yinguan for this opportunity."

Hehe, the female university is not allowed to stay, so you have turned your elbow to Mr. Yinguan so quickly?That's right, they are all guests of Xiandu Mountain.

Chen Pingan said, "I'm already watching it."

----

Above Loushan, in a very elegant and quiet courtyard pavilion, the head of the sect is playing chess with a young man who looks like a scholar.

The person who played against Gao Zhen was none other than Huang Cong, the emperor of Mengliang Kingdom. Behind him stood a woman in palace attire with a strong water transport, and a burly old man with a deep sense of morality.

It seems that the king of a country is not staying in the capital palace on New Year's Eve, which seems to be the first time in the history of Huangliang Kingdom.You must know that a monarch is always the busiest during this season.In Huang Cong's own words, it's just hiding away.However, this young emperor is indeed dedicated to Taoism and is close to Taoism. On the other hand, Yunxia Mountain, which is now the pillar of Mengliang Kingdom, is closer to Buddhism, so even if it is such a big event as changing the owner of the mountain, His Majesty the Emperor has no intention of going there to congratulate him personally. , is just going to let the Minister of Rites go up to the mountain to watch the ceremony.

Huang Cong looked at the situation on the chessboard, picked up a chess piece, his eyes flicked back and forth, he was always hesitating, and laughed at himself: "It seems that those chess in the palace are waiting to be ordered, compared with the gods on your mountain who are good at playing chess, they are still the same. It's a lot worse."

Gao Zhen smiled and said: "They may also have deliberately lost to His Majesty."

Obviously, on His Majesty's side, there is no taboo of monarchs and ministers, let alone such polite words as "I am the No.

Huang Cong smiled and nodded, "It's possible."

Of course, it wasn't that Gao Zhen, as a Sword Cultivator Earth Immortal of Jindan Realm, considered himself very high, and felt that he could look down upon princes.

Perhaps a few decades ago, Aquarius Continent, except for the Great Li Dynasty, mostly acted like this. When the Great Li Song Clan was one country, one continent, especially at the top of the Libei Mountains, this situation had already been achieved. On the other hand, after all, today's Huangliang Sect is located on this ancestral mountain Loushan, not far from the gate of the ancestral hall, and there is still such a monument.Even though the south of Dadu in Aquarius Continent has been restored and is no longer a vassal of the Dali Song Clan, no sect of the Immortal Mansion dares to remove this stele.

There was a gossip that said that there were a few sects on the mountain who thought the monument was an eyesore, so they discussed with the court at the foot of the mountain. Now that the state has been restored, Dali is no longer the suzerain state, so they just move it away.

As a result, after a Shanshui Mansion Newsletter was passed from Zhongtu Shenzhou to Aquarius Continent, it stopped completely, and one after another reported to Yizhou through their own mansion reports, with different wording but the same meaning.

There is absolutely no such thing, whoever dares to slander willfully, must be investigated to the end!

There is no other way, the Dali Dynasty lost an embroidered tiger, and another hidden official came to Aquarius Continent.

And these two happened to be brothers from the same lineage.

Huang Cong finally dropped the chess piece, Gao Zhen glanced at it, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty has lost."

Huang Cong nodded, hesitant to say anything, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them again, started to talk differently, and joked with a smile: "Master Gao, now you Huangliang faction can finally be rich , just me, Nalan Water God, and Mr. Meishan, our three congratulatory gifts are not small sums of money, let alone Yunxia Mountain’s share, even I would be envious, very envious!"

The water god named Nalan said with a smile on her face, "Before I climbed the mountain, I advised Your Majesty that it is better to put the congratulatory gifts prepared by me and Mr. Meishan into the royal treasury. than what."

This water god empress is dressed in a green dress, with colorful thread wrapped around her arms, and a small talisman hanging obliquely on a green cloud servant girl. Just by looking at her attire, you can tell that she is Su Zi's admirer.

Gao Zhen laughed loudly and said, "It's true that I didn't earn less this time. The most important thing is that I was finally able to get Yunxia Mountain to congratulate me in return. It's not easy!"

Rich people get rich after a lifetime, and get richer as they pass by.The poor spend money in their lives, and the poorer they become.

If you don't treat guests, you don't look good, treat guests, slap your face swollen to look fat, the guests eat up and leave, and you turn around and quietly hungry.

The same goes for mountains.

In the early years, with the neighbor who was a few steps away from the Yunxia Mountain, I knew it hard, and the money was spent like water, and the key was the kind of red envelope that was destined to never return.

Just talking about the Cai Jinjian of the Green Cypress Peak, the knotting of the golden pill, the peak opening ceremony, and becoming a Yuanying, how many congratulatory gifts did the Huangliang faction send out?The shot can't be too shabby, right?

In addition, Yunxia Mountain cultivated geniuses one after another, the Taoist couples on the mountain got married, so and so entered the Dongfu Realm, and became a middle-five god, some old fairy masters of the Yunxia Mountain Patriarch Hall who were familiar with the Huangliang School, newly accepted Direct disciples... On the other hand, my own Huangliang sect, that is, the situation has improved in the past few decades. Before that, it was really a bleak time when dumb people ate coptis.

The Huangliang Sect's initial plan for holding the peak opening ceremony this time was of course to hold a big one, so they just wanted to... save capital.

Just because of that unexpected joy, it was more than just saving capital, it was simply making a lot of money.

The Huangliang faction had no idea at first about whether they could invite the Luoposhan monks, so they sent out a respectful invitation post with the mentality of giving it a try.

Although the young hermit official was unable to come to congratulate in person, Zhu Lian, as the chief steward, wrote a letter in the name of Ji Se Peak Patriarchal Hall, explaining why his mountain lord could not attend the celebration.

If Master Chen Shan didn't want to come, there's no need to go to such trouble at all, he just put aside the invitation letter from the Huangliang Sect.

And according to my uncle, Chen Shanzhu, who is not very young, treats people with sincerity, is kind and honest, and will never argue with us in this kind of matter. It means that the eye sockets are shallow, and the gentleman's belly is measured with the heart of a villain.

In the end, there were still two distinguished guests who came to congratulate Luoba Mountain, monk Yuanying and Chen Lingjun.Jindan Dixian, Guo Zhujiu.

I heard that the former was the first genealogical monk to walk into Luoba Mountain, so he didn't need to call him the Mountain Lord, he just called him Master.

The latter is Chen Shanzhu's current young disciple, so he can be regarded as a half-closed disciple for the time being.Since she is the direct descendant of the young hermit official, what if she is a sword cultivator again?

The Huangliang faction didn't dare to publicize this matter, because they were afraid that if they did not do things properly, Luoposhan would think that they misunderstood what they wanted, and that would turn a good thing into a bad thing.

But there is no impenetrable wall in the world. When I heard that there were two monks of not low status on the Luopo mountain, they had already stayed in the Loushan mansion. The guests who requested to watch the ceremony, some of whom could not be invited originally, all came, and the number of people watching the ceremony has at least doubled.

Even at Yunxia Mountain, a patriarch and two old peak masters came.

His Majesty the Emperor of Mengliang Kingdom even climbed the mountain himself.The Lord Meishan among the Five Sacred Mountains of a country, and the first water god, the Empress of the River God, are both here, don't they have to be escorted?

The old monks of the Huangliang faction, who were in charge of welcoming and sending them away, complained endlessly every day, and couldn't hide their smiles at the same time.

How many years have passed, and the Huangliang School has never been so beautiful!

Before Huang Cong got up, he hesitated to speak again.

Gao Zhen still just turned a blind eye, lowered his gaze, and stared at the chessboard. In fact, Gao Zhen knew why His Majesty the Emperor came to the mountain. See if there is any chance to form a sweet relationship with Luopo Mountain. He does not expect the young hermit to set foot in Mengliang Country, and Huang Cong does not expect himself to be a guest at Luobo Mountain without being rejected. He only asks that Chen Lingjun, For monks like Guo Zhujiu, who are monks from the Luoba Mountain genealogy, any person can be an enshrinement of the Mengliang Kingdom, and guests are also welcome.

It's just that Gao Zhen can't be the master of this kind of thing. If His Majesty doesn't speak, Gao Zhen can only pretend to be a fool and never take the initiative to take the initiative.

This young emperor, who ascended the throne in troubled times, still has a very high spirit. Otherwise, if he just asked for a priest or guest minister for Mengliang Kingdom, he would have to go to Yunxia Mountain himself to find an old Nascent Soul Immortal for Mengliang Kingdom. Chief worship is actually not a difficult task.

The surrounding countries of Mengliang Kingdom all know that the young emperor dismounted from his horse back then and put on a dragon robe.

Because when Huang Cong was still a prince, he had taken the initiative to lead an army to the battlefield of Dali Capital, and he was even someone who had actually been lying in the pile of dead people before being found out.

In the battle of Mengliang Kingdom, only the yamen of the Ministry of War, except for those old people and those young and strong officials, almost all changed.

Therefore, the Huangliang Kingdom in Aquarius Continent was the first to restore the country after the war and lost its vassal status. There are even many natives of the Mengliang Kingdom, who are still in the Liubu Yamen and the Xiaojiuqing Yamen of the Dali Capital. office.

Seeing that the high-spirited man didn't answer, Huang Cong laughed at himself, and there was no displeasure on his face or heart. Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, so don't make things difficult for Master Gao and the Huangliang sect.

Are there fewer rules and ways on the mountain than in the officialdom at the foot of the mountain?

Looking back, I went to look for Chen Xianshi, who claimed to be nicknamed "Little Baitiao in Yujiang Langli, Little Dragon King on Luoluo Mountain", and had a drink.

But I guess it was just a drink.

The last time Huang Cong had a cheeky face and took the initiative to pay a visit. This Nascent Soul Shuijiao Old Immortal who looked like a child in Tsing Yi was easy to talk to, approachable, especially appetizing at the wine table, and he soon became a brother to him.

It's just that when it comes to serving as an enshrinement to the Mengliang Kingdom, the other party seems extremely determined, categorically saying that it can't be done, absolutely can't be done, and his master is not on the mountain, so he can't be the master of such a big matter.

Of course Huang Cong was somewhat disappointed, but it was similar to the situation of playing chess with Gaozhen in the gazebo at this time.

Moreover, the boy in Tsing Yi who had the same surname as the young hermit official sent himself out of the house after drinking, and said sincere words that were not like those monks on the mountain would say with a face full of guilt. Brother Huang, I'm sorry, this It’s really not going to happen, if we two got to know each other earlier, I’m not going to say anything, I’ll be whatever you want me to be, it’s not too big for a big official hat, and it’s not too small for a small sesame seed, we’re all friends , It's just a small matter that you watch to do, Brother Huang.But now our Luopo mountain is equivalent to closing the mountain. It’s not a joke. After all, this is what my master personally said. I was the first to go up the mountain, and I was the last to help the master. If I caused trouble to the master, I would lose face and be a man.

At that time, Huang Cong wondered why a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator would be the "least helpful" cultivator on that desolate mountain.

Even if it is the hilltop of a young hermit official, it should not be the case.

Just seeing the gloomy expression of the boy in Tsing Yi at that time, Huang Cong was willing to believe it.

And at the end, the little boy in Tsing Yi seemed to have remembered something, suddenly laughed, and patted his chest to promise that next time I see the master, I can help to explain the situation, as long as the master is willing to nod, Brother Huang, you don't dislike it , I will accept this offering!Brother Huang, don't worry, I've always been shameless on the master's side.As long as the master has no objection, I can also help to bring in a good friend named Mi, at least to be a nominal guest of Mengliang Kingdom for you, no problem at all!

Of course Huang Cong would not refuse such kindness.

The other party may be some kind words after sobering up, or it may not be.

After Huang Cong walked for a while, he looked back and saw that the boy in Tsing Yi was still standing there, grinning, waving goodbye to him, and finally walked into the door with his sleeves flung.

In fact, deep down in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor, the person Huang Cong most wanted to meet on the other side of Luopo Mountain, apart from the young hermit who must be ranked first, was followed by a female grand master .

As long as he could see them, Huang Cong didn't have to talk about offerings and guests at all.

----

Chen Ping'an did not deceive Qingtong. In fact, Lu Chen's yin spirit and Chen Ping'an, who had recreated a dream, were in that grotto together at this moment.

Chen Pingan, who was wearing a green shirt with a jade hairpin on his head, stood on the edge of the stone wall with Master Lu, who was wearing a lotus crown. When Lu Chen raised his hand, he could touch the top of the grotto.

In this abbot's place, the Taoist Chunyang who formed the golden elixir here at the beginning does not seem to have left any traces of Taoism, only an old futon is left, which is made of the simplest straw.

Lu Chen walked around the futon, keeping one hand against the wall, stopped and said, "Pin Dao doesn't see anything unusual about this futon."

Chen Pingan kept his arms around his sleeves, standing on the spot, and asked, "Since Lu Zu didn't set up any restrictions on mountains and rivers, you said that none of the nearby woodcutters and herbal pickers have entered this place for so many years?"

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "Probably not."

Chen Pingan turned around and leaned against the stone wall, "That child?"

Lu Chen sat down on the futon, cross-legged, with his palms facing upwards, pinched his fingers together, and said with a smile, "It's just to give that child a way to go, and he won't be superfluous. Qi Zhen is the most measured in doing things, and he will Putting this child on the side of Qiuhaoguan, he will neither overpower the seedlings, nor waste everything. By the way, now that child is named Ye Lang, the leaf of the leaves, the arrogant Lang of Yelang."

Chen Pingan asked suspiciously: "That child, does he really have the aptitude for cultivation?"

Lu Chen shook his head and said: "Strictly speaking, it is not suitable for cultivation. Even if you break your head at the entrance of the mountain of the Huangliang Sect, you will not be able to climb the mountain and become a god. But this child has the root of wisdom, and the talent for cultivation can be seen with the naked eye. It is useless to say that it is useful, and it is useless to say that it is useless. For example, no matter in Qingming Tianxia or Haoran Tianxia, ​​the unknown monks in many temples are not necessarily as difficult as those who only talk about the difficulty of Buddhism. There is a Buddhist Dragon Elephant who has the status of a monk in the upper five realms, but if he can't practice, he can't practice, fortunately, it doesn't delay their practice of Buddhism."

Chen Pingan asked: "That child, can you accept the opportunity you give?"

Lu Chen nodded with a smile, "Then you haven't seen his talisman on the ground, it's very vulgar, but it's a pity that it has a spirit but no shape, it's a loft in the sky, so if he didn't meet you and me, what happened to him in this life , the situation is similar to those monks I mentioned.”

Chen Ping turned his head to look at Lu Chen who was sitting on the futon and meditating, and said solemnly: "The Romance of the Jianghu and the novels of ghosts and monsters have so many plots, one is being chased and killed by the enemy, and falling off the cliff, um, this place is a bit like it." , and then accidentally meet that tall man's bone, or the remains of an immortal, without further ado, just knock your head a few times first, maybe you can trigger some kind of institutional restraint, and get a martial arts cheat book that can make you invincible after practice. You might as well give it a try, anyway, it’s just the two of us here, so it’s not ashamed.”

Lu Chen nodded, "Yes, yes, that bastard Jiang Yunsheng likes to read these miscellaneous books. He is guarding the gate in the inverted mountain, and it will be the same when he becomes the city lord."

Chen Pingan had a deep memory of that little Taoist boy. Every time he saw him, he was reading a book, and asked, "Did you become the lord of Shenxiao City, or Green City?"

Lu Chen said with a smile: "It's the lord of Qingcui City, who was promoted out of the ordinary and not a monk in the Ascension Realm. The lord of Baiyujing City is rare in history."

Of course it was because of Lu Chenlue's meager efforts, but at the same time, Jiang Yunsheng had to face a life-and-death catastrophe, which was a real test. Just a gatekeeper with the title of city lord, if it doesn't work, then let's talk about it in the next life.

Because when Lu Chen returned to Baiyujing from Tianwaitian, he detained a Huawai Tianmo the size of a mustard seed, and then threw it into Jiang Yunsheng's Dao heart in front of his senior brother Yu Dou.

Mastering the stick, but aiming for the yard.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Is it possible to cancel the other dream?"

Chen Ping's arrangement was ignored.

Lu Chen sighed, because in the "Old Site of Lu Gong Temple", a dream continued to evolve like this.

At the moment, Lu Chen, Lu Sheng, the young girl Peony Jingmei, Naba Shanzawa Yexiu, and the two great immortals... are still talking to themselves over there.

It was as if Chen Pingan had never shown up, and that Lu Chen didn't see through the identity of the girl Mudan, and continued to drink at the same table with Lu Sheng.

Chen Pingan said: "Anyway, it won't last long, and it will dissipate on its own."

It's like a stroke of thick ink dipped in cursive script in one go, no matter how many words there are, the ink on the paper will always become more and more dry.

Lu Chen stopped worrying about such trivial matters, and sighed for no reason, "Are there any hermits in the world?"

Chen Pingan had no intention of talking to him at all. Seeing that Lu Chen didn't get up, he simply sat on the edge of the grotto, with his feet hanging outside the cliff, quietly looking into the distance.

"Chen Pingan, you said that if the Dharma-ending era really comes, will people at that time struggle and quarrel with one question, is there any people who practice Taoism in the world?"

Lu Chen asked himself and answered: "It's a big question, it seems that as long as there is one, it will be fine."

"We seem to be used to thunder and rain, sweating in the sun, birth, old age, sickness and death of ordinary people in the mountains, and the withered vegetation in the world...Chen Pingan, do you think that we take it for granted by default, this kind of context is collectively called causality, Tracing back to the source, who can be responsible for this context? If life is a debt and debt repayment, then who is the guarantor as an intermediary and what kind of existence is it? I once asked I passed Senior Brother, Senior Brother answered irrelevantly, and told me that this is just a small problem. I asked, from Senior Brother’s point of view, what is the real big problem?”

"Senior brother replied with a smile, saying that if the whole world is regarded as one, then can we monks have the supernatural powers to add or subtract one cent from this seemingly eternal one?"

"Words? It still doesn't seem to be counted. The long river of time? It seems even less. Chen Pingan, what do you think?"

Chen Pingan finally spoke, "I don't think so, I just think that you think dreams are barely a kind, because the imaginary one of the twelve high-level gods, in your opinion, may not really be at the end of the road. , otherwise it is one of the six supremes, not the five supremes."

Lu Chen sighed, "I'm so worried."

Chen Pingan asked: "You seem to be afraid of Buddha?"

"Back then, I thought I had completely broken through the language barrier, so I took a trip to the Western Buddhist kingdom."

Lu Chen did not hide anything, "The Buddha once interpreted dreams for me. In that dream-interpretation realm, the Buddha used incredible supernatural powers to completely blur the boundaries between the mustard seed and the eternal moment. I can't even calculate where it is. How long has it been in the years in the dream, tens of millions of years? Hundreds of millions of years? All kinds of life, all kinds of death, changing countless identities, showing countless postures, changing, uncertain, true or false."

Chen Ping said with a smile: "Having immortal skills by his side, this is what makes a master of art bold. After learning the magic of immortals, he will not be afraid to travel all over the world."

It sounds familiar, the first sentence is the wording in the previous dream, and the latter sentence seems to be Sun Daochang's mantra.

Lu Chen stood up, bent down again, and was about to hand over that "nothing unusual" futon.

Chen Pingan said: "Don't take it from anyone, just stay where you are."

With a resentful expression on his face, Lu Chen had to gently put the futon back on its place, pretending to pat the dust, and suddenly became a little curious, and asked, "Where did the story in your dream, about the content of the poor, develop?" ?”

Chen Pingan said: "I lost my realm for no reason, and was slapped and slapped by a girl while scolding me for being a child, and my face was swollen, and I was still saying that Poverty Dao is really the head teacher of Bai Yu Jinglu, shouting that the sun and the moon can learn from each other. Conscience."

Lu Chen grieved and said, "So miserable?!"

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Otherwise, what do you think?"

Lu Chen rubbed his hands together and said, "Since poor Taoists have been scolded as perverts, do you have any hugs? Even if you don't have any hugs, you still have to touch that girl's face and little hands?"

Chen Pingan said: "The slap is on the face, does it count as you touching the girl's hand with your face?"

Lu Chen snorted, "This nonsense, I like it."

Chen Pingan took out a stick of dry smoke, knew the way, and began to swallow the clouds.

After a big battle, for Haoran Jiuzhou, it was like going through a big test of people's hearts.

Just talking about the mountains and rivers of this Aquarius Island is to change customs, like a person reborn.

Lu Chen came to sit down beside Chen Ping'an, and asked casually, "Before you went to Qingming Tianxia, ​​apart from that trip with Liu Jinglong, you just practiced and practiced and practiced, have you been practicing?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "Of course not. After the tour is over, I will be a schoolteacher in Huang Tingguo's side. I will also write a landscape travel journal for Xiaomi Li."

Now Chen Pingan is compiling a landscape travel note by himself, writing about a young ranger who walks the rivers and lakes. In the dumb lake, he met a hidden big water monster. Together against the old ancestor Huangsha who caused disaster, the two sides battled wits and bravery, and finally won. After the dumb lake monster, he realized that the ranger was the young mountain owner who once dreamed about the Luoba mountain. It's called fate, so I made suggestions for the ranger all the way, and acted as the think tank and military adviser, trekking mountains and rivers together, invincible, the monsters are terrified, especially often fighting with people, and never lose...

Chen Pingan said for no reason, "It's hard for you to chat with Xiaomo."

"The donkey is the vassal of the horse, but there is an extra word 'hu'."

Lu Chen shook his sleeves, and said with a playful smile, "I have a broad heart and a narrow heart, I really hit it off with Xiaomo."

You must know that after "the donkey is the vassal of the horse", there is another sentence that no one can take seriously, but Lu Chen cannot ignore it.

The spider is the enemy of the butterfly.

And Lu Chen's heart has seven objects, the seven objects are wooden chicken, toon tree, mole, kunpeng, oriole, pheasant, and butterfly.

Lu Chen turned his head and glanced at Chen Pingan.

There is a peach tree inside the wooden door of Chen Pingan's heart house.

It's just that after today, it will be another new year, whether peach leaves can see peach blossoms.

Afterwards, Chen Ping casually chatted about his future monastic life.

In the middle of winter, when it snows heavily, take a small boat, cook wine on the stove, and go to the center of the lake to enjoy the snow.

During the heavy rain season, put on your coir raincoat and wear a bamboo hat, and watch a big water transform into a dragon and a snake by the banks of the river.

One day when martial arts breaks through, I will make an appointment to fight with Cao Ci on the sea.

I heard that the plum blossoms in Jiuyi Mountain are particularly beautiful this year, so I went to see it.

Lu Chen smiled and said: "Just listening in, you have to be fascinated by it."
