Sword comes

Chapter 884 The World 1 Word

Chen Pingan and Xiao Mo stood at the railing of the ferry, under their noses, the land, mountains and rivers meandered like silk threads.

Raise your gaze, if it is said that the sky has no walls, then people's vision is like an invisible wall, and everyone is imprisoned in it.

Xiaomo asked, "Is the young master waiting for someone?"

"It's the owner of the ferry who is waiting."

Chen Pingan turned his head to look at the third floor of the ferry, then retracted his gaze, and took Xiao Mo to continue walking on the bow side of the boat. In fact, the ferry named Liquan under their feet was still a magic weapon of the fairy family that travels the clouds and spreads the rain.From the founding of the Dalisong clan to more than a hundred years ago, the Dalisong clan has not yet got rid of the vassal status of the Lu dynasty, internal and external troubles, weak national strength, and often need to borrow this mountain ferry from Changchun Palace to solve the local state. The drought in the county invited immortal masters to cast spells and rain. It is said that the Dali court owed a lot of debts for this, and the Changchun Palace never asked the Song family to collect debts, so when the Dali Dynasty rose, several Song emperors Changchun Palace monks have always been given special preferential treatment. If it wasn’t for the fact that Changchun Palace has never had jade-like monks, it would be unquestionable to join the sect. Presumably His Majesty the Emperor of Dali would make an exception and personally attend the celebration to congratulate.

Chen Pingan explained: "We boarded the boat earlier, and we came here uninvited. If we leave without saying goodbye, we will be disrespectful. It is a very taboo thing on the mountain."

"If we take the initiative to pay a visit to the ferry steward, it's easy to think too much about Changchun Palace."

"It doesn't matter on the Luzhou side of Beiju. The customs of the two places are still different. It can be regarded as one side nourishes the other side."

Xiao Mo said with a smile, "Staying by your side, you can learn a lot about human relationships outside of books."

Chen Pingan didn't accept this question at all, but just talked to Xiaomo about the past of Changchun Palace and Dali Song Clan.

Xiao Mo took a high look at the Dali Native Immortal Mansion, and said, "To tide over the difficulties together, the Changchun Palace can be regarded as waiting for the clouds to open and the moon to shine."

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "It is indeed a good relationship to help each other in the same boat."

"Xiaomo, in the future you will leave Luopo Mountain, Haoran Jiuzhou, other places are easy to talk about, but Beiju Luzhou must be visited."

"Okay, Xiaomo must travel north here if he has the opportunity."

Chen Ping took Xiao Mo from the bow to the stern, looking north.

If there are sword immortals from Beiju Luzhou who died in battle in a foreign land, a continent of mountains and rivers, as long as you are a sword cultivator, no matter the enemy or yourself, there will be a custom of worshiping swords in a continent.

Just like the ghost valley in the bone beach, Gao Cheng of Jingguancheng will take the initiative to throw punches, and he will not hesitate to spend a lot of spiritual energy, but also to open the restriction of heaven and earth, just to let the sword cultivator Pu Jie pay homage to a sword and rise higher into the sky.

As in the matter of offering swords, ghosts and mythical valleys must not fall behind others, and the light of swords must not be inferior to others.

And Muyi Mountain, which is close at hand, and the Pima Sect, which is a deadly enemy with Jingguan City, will never wait for an opportunity to attack Jingguan City.

It's just that Chen Pingan didn't say much to Xiaomo about this matter.

Although that scene is magnificent and breathtaking.But it would be best never to see it again.

In the two foreign battlefields of the Sword Qi Great Wall and Aquarius Island, the Beiju Luzhou Sword Immortal who could have stayed out of the matter had really withered too much.

On the third floor of the ferry boat, a young and beautiful Xiu Xiu, who has achieved Taoism and is always young, is dressed as a woman, without makeup, and looks graceful. Just now, she accidentally looked at Chen Pingan. She forced herself to calm down and sighed in her heart. Say, it's a blessing, not a disaster, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, so I can only show up in person, the woman is the current steward of this Liquan ferry, if possible, she really wants to pretend that she didn't see anything, and the other party quietly boards the boat and doesn't care , Swaggering off the boat and not stopping him, I blamed myself for not holding back the desire to explore, and looked at the bow of the boat a few more times.

She was really curious about that legendary green-clothed sword fairy.

She took a deep breath, stroked the black hair on her temples, and straightened the skirt of her robe.

Earlier, Master Yuhong had a dispute with others, a martial arts competition, and the ferry boat on the mountain was always loose on the outside and tight on the inside when dealing with such rivers and lakes.

Then on the side of the Liquan Ferry, someone noticed that among the crowd watching the excitement, there seemed to be two unregistered Qi practitioners, both of whom were unfamiliar faces. The Master Chen of Luopo Mountain, who pierced the sky in Zhengyang Mountain, euphemistically called it "Watching the Ceremony", not to mention tearing down the ancestral hall, and erecting a monument at the border.

The female cultivator who was in charge of checking the abnormality of the ferry quickly found the steward and asked him to make a decision.

Drive people away?Top up money?

Of course, it is up to the steward to decide whether to invite the Sword Immortal to drink or drink tea.

The female cultivator in charge calmed down a little, and then she made a formula and cast a transposition spell. When she came to the deck of the ferry, she hurriedly walked towards the green-clothed sword fairy with only one follower at the stern.

It is no exaggeration to say that I have the courage to bite the bullet.

Compared with the general mountain sects, the news of Changchun Palace can be said to be one of the most well-informed mountains in Aquarius Continent.

She is a Changchun Palace Golden Core Earth Immortal, serving as an enshrined elder. She has a seat in the Patriarch Hall, and the seat is relatively front.Therefore, compared with the genealogical monks of Zhengyang Mountain, Old Dragon City and Yunxia Mountain, she needs to know more inside stories on the mountains, and has heard more shocking truths.

Seeing the young owner of the desolate mountain, she bowed her knees and bestowed a blessing on her face, "I have met Lord Chen, my name is Gan Yi, my name is Wusong, and now I am the steward of this ferry."

The nun was afraid that her name might be taken advantage of, so she hurriedly added: "It's the sweet sweet, the refreshing Yi."

Chen Ping clasped his fists and said, "I've seen Guan Shi."

Xiao Mo glanced at Gan Yi, she was full of energy and had two eyes.

This Jindan female cultivator has bright eyes and two wine dimples on her cheeks.So the woman in front of me is a kind-hearted person.

Chen Pingan helped to introduce: "My family enshrines, Xiaomo. Small in size, unfamiliar Mo."

Xiaomo saluted, with a warm smile, and said softly, "I am honored to meet Immortal Gan."

Gan Yi quickly returned the gift, "Gan Yi has met Immortal Master Xiaomo."

God knows if the other party is another hidden sword fairy?

Changchun Palace has learned from the past in this matter, and Gan Yi can't help but be more careful if she is not careful.

Gan Yi tentatively asked: "Master Chen Shan is going back to Luopo Mountain by the way?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "There are two Jianghu friends who have known each other for many years on the boat. They came here to have a look. After having a drink, they are just about to return to the capital. Earlier, Xiaomo and I boarded the boat recklessly, so I have to apologize to Guanshi Gan. "

I wanted to say that the fee for the Liquan ferry docking at Niujiaodu can be waived.

This sentence almost blurted out, but luckily held back.

Talking about this with Changchun Palace, who has a lot of money, is too swollen and fat.

Gan Yi's thoughts changed sharply, and she asked cautiously: "Master Chen Shan's friend, but that Master Yu?"

In fact, what she didn't want to ask was easy to cause side issues, so she really didn't dare not to ask.

There is no way, chatting with these high-ranking monks on the top of the mountain, the other party often has something to say, but something to say.

It seems to be all nonsense, but in fact none of it is nonsense.

She didn't dare to treat this poor young swordsman as a mountain monk with a simple mind and only relying on luck to get things done.

If it is Yuhong.

The ferry fare for that group of people has already been charged, how about paying it back?That's too underhanded.

But there are other ways to make up for it, for example, she personally sent a few altars of Changchun Palace Immortal Brew.

Otherwise, it's just a great master of martial arts, Changchun Palace really wouldn't be able to cling to it so hard, it's just a nine-level martial artist who is not young but has no hope of breaking through, and it's not the end.

Although the Changchun Palace is not a sect, it is the local fairy family of the Dali Dynasty, second only to the Longquan Sword Sect, not to mention that the mountain is close to the Longxing Land of the Dali Song Clan.

Of course, now there is another Luopo Mountain with the prefix Zong.

Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "It's not Yu Hong, it's old Zhu and Mr. Yu, but it's a coincidence that the two seniors are now serving as elders in Fushu Hall."

How sweet is Gan Yi, who immediately understood that at least three jars of wine had to be given away.

Of course, a share of Yuhong is indispensable, otherwise it will make it difficult for Chen Shanzhu's two "senior Jianghu" to be human.

Chen Ping was about to leave, but Gan Yi suddenly said: "Master Chen Shan, it was our Changchun Palace who realized that Changchun Palace was very grateful for Mi Dajianxian's protection of the Tao. Zhou Zhi, I hope Sword Immortal Mi will forgive me a lot."

A few years ago in the Changchun Palace, there was a female cultivator from the lineage of the Supreme Elder "Linyou". She traveled to the south, and there were no accidents. .

They passed by Piyun Mountain on the way, and at the Beiyue Mountain Junfu, there happened to be a registered guest named Yu Mi, who wanted to go south and return home, so they went along the way to protect the road.

At that time, Piyunshan said that the patriarch of Yumi's family was an old acquaintance with Mr. Wei Shan. He had not practiced for a long time. Not bad.

It turned out to be all bullshit...

Chen Pingan nodded and smiled: "Okay, small things, I can help with the message. However, I have also heard Mi Yu talk about this matter, and I can tell that he has a good impression of Changchun Palace, saying that your elders on the mountain are well-protected , do your best, the junior practice diligently, get along with each other very easily."

There was an extra smile on Gan Yi's face, as if she had taken a reassurance.

A sword fairy from the Great Wall of Sword Qi, with an unpredictable temperament.It is really impossible to let people take it lightly. In the Patriarch Hall of Changchun Palace, this matter has been mentioned many times, and it has always been unresolved.

Don't take the polite words of Chen Shanzhu in front of you too seriously.

But if the other party doesn't even bother to say a word of kindness, there is a serious problem.

I never thought that today's small talk without seeking merit but without fault, and the unexpected joy, let Gan Yi help her teacher solve a serious heart disease.

During the journey to the south, in the territory of Huang Ting Kingdom, the Changchun Palace impeached a painting demon that haunted the Yunshan Temple, and then freed an old soldier from the trap, and went to the middle of Aquarius Island to lead a heroic spirit of the Great Li army back to his hometown. Finally, The most important secret was to go to Fengxue Temple to buy a small piece of ten thousand year pine for the great general Su Gaoshan who was still alive at that time.

The Supreme Elder of Changchun Palace and the patriarch of the Qin family of Giant Salamander had a very "story", so Changchun Palace felt that this move was not impossible, but when the other party heard that they wanted to buy the Wannian pine, they turned their faces against each other. Recognized people, said that this is absolutely impossible.Because the Wannian pine named "Long Love" grew in the Shenxiantai of Fengxue Temple, and it belonged to the Great Sword Immortal Wei Jin in name.

So a group of female cultivators from the Changchun Palace touched their noses at the Fengxue Temple, and returned disappointed, all of them anxious, not knowing how they would explain to the master, and how the master would have the perfect relationship with a Da Li military official. The hunting envoy confessed.

Unexpectedly, in another village, when "Yu Mi" disembarked at Niujiaoshan Ferry on the way home, he gave Han Biya a ten thousand year pine in private.

In fact, after the Changchun Palace confirmed the authenticity of the Wannian pine, it was extremely puzzled, and it was hard to understand how a middle-five-level monk who was a Keqing in Piyun Mountain managed to get this thing.

purchase?

Even if the tiger Wei Bo opened his mouth, with Feng Xuemiao's temper, he would not nod.

steal?

Who has the ability to overcome the barriers of the Fengxue Temple, and who has the guts to climb that "Long Love" ancient pine?

Later, when the battle was fierce in the old dragon city, an unknown sword fairy with outstanding combat power emerged, with a personable personality and a sword light like a rainbow.

Moreover, it seems that this person is an old acquaintance with Li Cai, a female sword fairy from Beiju Luzhou.

After comparing their own information with Dali's information, Changchun Palace quickly checked the identity of this person, only to find out that it was actually "Yu Mi" from the "Ocean Viewing Realm".

When there was a dispute between Luopo Mountain and Zhengyang Mountain, it turned out that it was Mi Yu, the Sword Immortal of the Jade Realm who likes to lie drunk and lie on clouds in the Great Wall of Sword Qi!

The elder brother, Mi Hu, is even a great swordsman who was once expected to ascend to the Ascension Realm.

The Dali Frontier Army has a saying that the more dead people they have seen, the more they look at the living on the battlefield, the same way they look at the dead.

This is true in the battlefield at the foot of the mountain, presumably the same is true for the Great Wall of Sword Qi, or even worse.

That's why the old woman in Changchun Palace who was in charge of protecting the Dao, because she often spoke sarcasticly to that "Yu Mi" during her travels, now she often feels chills on her neck, as if she was wandering around the gate of hell.

Chen Pingan was a little puzzled. With the transcendent status of Changchun Palace on Dali Mountain, there was no enmity with Luopo Mountain. Gan Yi saw herself as the owner of the mountain, so it is reasonable to say that she would not be so restrained.

Actually very much.

Because today's Chen Pingan doesn't know anything yet.

In addition to sects, the monks on the mountain also have various "small hills" without mountain boundaries. For example, the ferry stewards who often meet outside will have personal friendships of different depths, and there are even special mirrors and water moons to connect with each other. , to facilitate the intercommunication of some ways of making money.

And he, the last hidden official of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, owes his prestige to the loose "gang" of the cross-continental ferry boat to an unimaginably high level due to the "Battle of Spring Banzhai" that happened on the inverted mountain.

It's amazing to spread rumors with falsehoods.

Now that the Confucian Temple has lifted the ban on Shanshui Mansion newspapers, there are no more taboos, and it is said that it is a thrilling...

As a result, gradually, inexplicably, a competition from low to high appeared between the stewards of the ferry in Haoran Tianxia.

Holding a cross-continental ferry in his hand, he looks down on the steward of the ferry that can only fly around within one continent. Those who have done business with the Jianqi Great Wall on the cross-continent ferry, who have been to Daoxuan Mountain, and who have walked into the gate of Chunfanzhai to negotiate business, look down on those poor people who have never sat in the lobby of Chunfanzhai.

And those who have been to Chunfanzhai and participated in the "mountain discussion" in person will look down on those who have not experienced the "elegance of hidden officials" in person.

Nowadays, such a small group of ferry stewards are out of the house, all of them have their eyes above the top, and when they look at all the other ferry stewards, they are all rubbish without saying a word.

After all, how do you know that the undercurrent of that discussion back then was turbulent and extremely dangerous, our lives were hanging by a thread, and the unrest in Chunfan Zhai would rise again and again?

The two sides confronted.

Yinguan led more than a dozen sword immortals, and they almost closed their doors to kill people.

As the steward of the Liquan Ferry, Gan Yi has of course heard some secret rumors of clouds and fog.

So Gan Yi knew exactly who she was facing.

They are no longer Chen Shanzhu, nor are they closed disciples of the lineage of Wensheng, but the last hermit official of the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

The last time the Patriarch Hall of Changchun Palace was discussing matters, the Palace Master said a meaningful sentence.

Our Dali is not far from Beiju Luzhou.

Gan Yi said sincerely, "If Master Chen Shan is not in a hurry, you can try our Changchun Palace wine."

Chen Pingan politely declined: "Forget it this time, I won't bother Xiaomo any more."

The Changchun Palace was actively listed as one of the candidate sects by the Dali court, and they didn't even try to fight for it.

Before discussing matters in the Confucian Temple of China, Song Changjing also asked for three additional sects from the Confucian Temple. Changchun Palace did not run around like Zhengyang Mountain and Yunxia Mountain, looking for ways, and did not want to win a place for themselves. The Li Song family was in a dilemma because of this, which shows that Changchun Palace's sense of propriety in dealing with people is not generally good.

Although Chen Pingan already knew the three quotas, the Dali Dynasty had already made arrangements, namely, the lower sect in Zhengyang Mountain named "Huangshan Sword Sect" by the Zhu Emperor, a large temple near Longqiu in Yandang Mountain, and Plus Cao Rong's Taoism.

Therefore, the Changchun Palace will not break the rules and join the sect, but the status of the sect candidate is not an empty title that is icing on the cake. Once the Dali Iron Cavalry makes military exploits in the wild world, even if the Changchun Palace still does not have the Jade Realm, it can still be used. With the permission from the Confucian Temple, I was able to take advantage of the situation to fill the vacancy.The next sect of Shen Gaozong, and Yunxia Mountain, have to be late to get their turn.

Seeing Chen Ping'an's reluctance to stop and drink, Gan Yi was obviously disappointed.

She just didn't dare to joke with Chen Pingan casually.

Otherwise, Gan Yi really has a truth that is not a joke, and she really wants to say it to this hidden official.

As long as Chen Shanzhu is willing to go to Changchun Palace as a guest, even if he just drinks a few glasses of wine and leaves, those crazy girls will be able to grab the head of the person who is responsible for serving the wine, and it doesn't care about the friendship of the same family.

It should be known that the female cultivators of the Changchun Palace have always been extremely enlightened when it comes to the love between men and women.

A young female cultivator has already threatened that if Chen Jianxian comes in person, I will be able to show my face with a glass of wine. There is no escape!

How did Chen Pingan know these secrets about the smoky other mountains?

But if he really found out, it is estimated that Changchun Palace will never even think about seeing Chen Shanzhu for at least a few hundred years.

Chen Ping said goodbye.

Wearing a green shirt, his figure turned into dozens of tiny sword lights, which flashed away on the ferry.

Xiao Mo smiled, lowered her head and cupped her fists, bid farewell to Gan Yi, and then disappeared out of nowhere.

There was no ripple of aura on the side of the Liquan ferry, and the formation of the ferry seemed to be empty, but Gan Yi was not surprised.

At dusk, like fire burning clouds.

Because Chen Pingan was not in a hurry to rush back to Dali Capital, Jianguang condensed his figure in the distance, and then the sword light dissipated again, and reunited in the north a hundred miles away.

No longer using this escape method that he has not yet mastered, Chen Ping walked forward on a sea of ​​fiery red clouds, and smiled with Xiao Mo beside him: "As a proverb in my hometown, the fire burns the big clouds at night, and you can travel thousands of miles tomorrow. In fact, you will land in Lizhu Cave." Before rooting, very few people really travel so far, they just go round and round, the farthest is to go to the mountains to cut firewood and burn charcoal, and then they have to go home, maybe a round trip, it is only a hundred miles of mountains and rivers."

The kiln fire on the ground in my hometown has seen countless morning and sunset glows in the sky.

Because there was Zhou Haijing first, then Zhu Fengxian and Yu Cangmang, Chen Pingan realized that besides having its own mirror, Luopo Mountain needed to collect all kinds of news on Yizhou Mountain through this matter.Therefore, in addition to someone starting to prepare for the establishment of an espionage agency in Luobashan, just the expense of watching the mirrors of various fairy houses, the fairy money is not a small amount.If you want to watch the beauty of fairies in other fairy houses and other families, you have to buy a lot of spiritual artifacts on the mountain.Fortunately, aside from spending money, Zhu Lian, Mi Dajianxian, and Chen Lingjun are all very suitable for this matter... among the dragons and phoenixes.

Luopo Mountain's mountain guard formation is both offensive and defensive.

There is already the old Guanzhu's picture of the true shape of the five mountains, and in the old mountain shrine on the top of the mountain, there is a picture scroll of a sword fairy.

This trip to the hinterland of the wilderness has yielded a lot of rewards. Let’s just talk about the Yuban City of the Yunwen Dynasty. Chen Pingan got the Twelve Flying Swords from the emperor Ye Pu with the Taoist name "Dubu".

In addition to the formation map given by Taiping Mountain, the attacking sword formation built in the Patriarch Hall of Jise Peak in Luopo Mountain in the future will not be weak in killing power.If you can kill Yupu, you can frighten the immortals.

It's just that the thought of spending money everywhere makes people short of breath. Fortunately, Chen Pingan just remembered that he seems to be an anonymous guest of the Liu family in Aiaaizhou.

If you have a name, you need to show your face, and the guest has to "click" every few years. The guest who does not have a name is not so particular, and it is almost like getting money for nothing.

On the side of the cloud road, Xiao Mo was dexterous, and started to weave a pair of walking shoes, snow-white, and the grade is not low at first glance.

Above the sea of ​​clouds, as if walking on flat ground, Chen Pingan asked casually, "Xiaomo, when do you think Wei Jin will be able to enter the Ascension Realm?"

Xiaomo thought for a while, "Wei Dajianxian's aptitude is quite good, and if he got that chance again, if he didn't fight, if he didn't sharpen his Dao heart in the field of life and death, and if he didn't fight for a few rounds with someone with higher sword skills, I guess he would It takes four to five hundred years to grind time before you can see the bottleneck of the earth fairy..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Mo quickly changed his words: "This time is different from the past, it has to be called a fairyland."

Chen Pingan asked: "Are all the earth immortals in ancient times really so powerful?"

Xiao Mo said with a smile: "Actually, it's not too strong, but it's definitely not weak. It's extremely difficult for an immortal to ascend to heaven and become a god. It's just the first pass, which is equivalent to asking a sword cultivator at the peak of the fairyland today. After that, there are two more passes waiting, and it is said that one of the passes involves the mind of the Taoist, which seems to be more illusory, so even if there are two ascending platforms, most of the earth immortals dare not go up, as if they are looking for a dead end If you wait until those celestial beings in the world decay, just to continue their lives, and then take a risky fight, you will definitely die, so there is a helpless paradox in the middle, which finally makes the male and female earth celestial beings at that time, The number of successful ascents to the sky is extremely limited."

"When Xiaomo didn't practice swords and was very bored, he would sit near the Ascension Platform and watch others ascend to the sky. Many times, he has never seen anyone go to the highest gate of heaven with his own eyes. Without exception, they all fell in the middle of the journey. Well, those Taoists' skins and souls are like...flowers blooming, and they practice hard, but in the end they just add a majestic rain to the world, anyway, I think it's a pity."

"If Wei Jinsheng was in that year, he might have successfully climbed to the top of the Ascension Platform."

Chen Ping said with a smile: "With Wei Dajianxian's pride in buying wine, it's not difficult to earn an Ascension Realm."

Regarding the Wannian pine named "Long Love", Wei Jin, who is a single seedling monk in Shenxiantai, actually has a headache.

If it weren't for the fact that the ancient pines were not involved in the roots of the mountains, it was extremely difficult to transplant, and the Wei and Jin Dynasties would have moved the giant salamander ditch, Lvshuitan, or Wenqing peak.

Otherwise, it will only make Fengxue Temple tired of dealing with those human relationships, because there are too many genealogy masters and high-ranking officials who ask for the branches, leaves and bark of this ten thousand-year-old pine, whether it is an ordinary woman at the foot of the mountain, or a red dragon on the mountain who has not yet beheaded. The female cultivator in the village cooks medicine with Wannian pine, which is an excellent fairy medicine.

But when encountering various forces who came to buy this item, Fengxue Temple did not agree to outsiders even once, and it seemed particularly unreasonable in this matter.

Although Wei Jin and the suzerain have said twice that when he is not practicing in the mountains, the Patriarch Hall can dispose of this "Long Love" tree at will.

In fact, the number of days that Wei Jin practiced in Fengxue Temple after the first time he went down the mountain is very few. .

So much so that Wei Jin couldn't help wondering whether Fengxuemiao was unwilling to sell the Wannian pine and deliberately used himself as a shield?

The last time he returned to Fengxue Temple, Wei Jin had an idea to accept a disciple in name?

No matter how indifferent I am to Fengxue Temple, the lineage of Shenxiantai must pass on the incense.

So when we reunited at the Great Wall of Sword Qi before, Wei Jin, the downcast mountain guest, asked the mountain master to help him find out if there was a suitable sword cultivator embryo.

The Wei and Jin Dynasties had only one requirement, the cultivation aptitude could be mediocre, but the child had to be born in Aquarius Continent.

After all, he is the first disciple.As for the future closed disciples, Wei Jin would of course have to choose by himself.

So in addition to asking Chen Pingan to help select disciples, I also discussed with Chen Pingan about the matter. If you have an idea about the ancient pine, you can go to Fengxue Temple to buy it yourself. Besides, Wei Jin has already agreed to this matter, so as long as Feng Snow Temple has no objection, and Luopo Mountain can afford the money, so they can move the ancient pines to Luobo Mountain.

However, Chen Pingan did not have such an idea. Of course, it was not that he was not greedy or tempted, but that Fengxue Temple was very likely, waiting for the successful refining of the Ten Thousand Years Pine, to ascend to the sky in one step, enter the upper five realms, and then justifiably become Fengxue The mountain guard of the temple is enshrined.

Especially once the old ape who moved the mountain in Zhengyang Mountain died, Aquarius Continent was once again vacant for a spirit monster of the upper five realms, and it was even more impossible for Fengxue Temple to sell the hopeful Ten Thousand Years Pine.

What's more, since the ancient pine is called "Long Love", there must be some kind of unknown origin.

Naturally, Chen Pingan didn't need to go to Fengxue Temple to make fun of himself.

On the side of the Liquan ferry, Gan Yi didn't look back for a long time.

Now the monks in Yizhou are regretting this, but it is a pity that Wei Dajianxian of Fengxue Temple did not bring one or two sword fairy embryos from the Great Wall of Sword Qi to Aquarius Continent.

Regardless of how the other seven continents of Haoran Tianxia regard these children from foreign lands, they only talk about Aquarius Continent and Beiju Lu Continent, and they can walk sideways.

The mountain monks on the two continents adjacent to the north and south are all their guardians.

In fact, Gan Yi really wanted to ask a question just now, is there any young sword cultivator from the Great Wall of Sword Qi who cultivated in the Luopo Mountain of Lord Chen Shan.

It's just that she is not a swordsman about this kind of thing, so naturally she shouldn't ask about it.

Before moving away, Gan Yi smiled sweetly, full of flair.

Ha, Mr. Yinguan has taken his own ferry.

You can show off with others when you turn around.

Go for a drink.

----

In the capital of Dali, in the early morning, Xunqu, the preface class of Honglu Temple, came to the Renyun Yiyun Tower again, and sent Mr. Chen some residence newspapers from the six government offices of the imperial court.

After Chen Ping returned to the capital last night, he found that Ning Yao was still retreating in the inn. Chen Ping spent the whole night reading books in the library, while Xiao Mo hung the nothing happened card, and then used his tricks to wander around. After going back to the alleys in the brightly lit capital city, he stayed in the courtyard outside, weaving a few Tsing Yi robes.

I was worried that I didn't prepare enough for the meeting ceremony when I followed the young master to the Luopo Mountain.

Chen Ping took Xiao Mo out of the alley to meet Xun Qu.

Xun Qu found that Mr. Chen was surrounded by a younger-looking attendant today than last time. Xun Qu only knew that the other person was Xiaomo, who was an enshrinement of Luobashan.

He is an immortal teacher on the mountain who looks very friendly and easy-going.

Chen Ping'an took the mansion newspaper into his sleeve, and according to the agreement, he and Xun Qu would go to a famous tourist attraction in the capital.

A group of people walked to the streets on both sides that were more than one mile long. Rare books, calligraphy and paintings of past dynasties, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, rare antiques, everything is there.

It used to be an official kiln, which was specially used to make glazed tiles and green gold bricks for Ouchi.Now on this street, two or three hundred years old shops can be found everywhere. This is a good thing. They all pay attention to repeat customers. No one is willing to smash their own gold-lettered signs. There are very few goods. After all, this place of elegant travel in the capital has no money in your pocket, and your wallet is not big enough. When you come here, you can only stare blankly, and you are destined to come here empty-handed.

Chen Pingan got the cue from Xun Xuban's eyes, and bought the three favorite books, all of which were as white as jade and could be considered rare books.Ordinary scholars, like seeing a beautiful woman on the road, really can only look at it, not touch it.

Chen Pingan finally gave Xun Qu six books.Three books were recorded in the account of Honglu Temple, about 280 taels of silver.

The other three books were given by Chen Pingan to this young official who was in the same year as Cao Qinglang.

On the way back to the Renyun Yiyun Building, Xun Qu hesitated and hesitated, but still asked in his heart: "Mr. Chen is not curious why I am a Taoist?"

Of course, with Mr. Chen's cultivation and vision, he must have seen through this matter long ago.

Chen Ping smiled and said, "It's their own destiny, so there's no need to delve into it."

The Sea Viewing Realm in their thirties is actually not low.

In the previous Aquarius Continent, monks in the middle five realms were all gods and monsters.

Chen Pingan held back a smile and asked, "Don't you know that Cao Qinglang is a fellow of yours?"

Xun Qu was speechless, shook his head and said, "I haven't noticed it all the time."

Chen Pingan said: "Alright, when you meet again in the future, you can have an extra topic and talk about spiritual practice."

Xun Qu couldn't help muttering in a low voice, "Good guy, pretend to be poor with me!"

Seeing Mr. Chen's playful gaze, Xun Qu was a little embarrassed, "Mr. Chen, unlike Cao Qinglang, I am really poor, the kind of person who couldn't keep money when I was young."

Chen Pingan joked: "In the end, you are mostly an official, and your articles are full of life. If you don't have money, it's good. In the future, you will be a high-ranking official by the way. When I come to the capital in the future, I will also have an official background."

Xun Qu was dumbfounded.

Unlike Cao Qinglang, a good friend who was in the same year of the imperial examination, although Xun Qu was born as a second-class Jinshi, his ranking was very low, so he had a low start in officialdom, otherwise he would not have been thrown into the small Jiuqing yamen outside the six divisions of Honglu Temple.

Xun Qu really didn't think he could be a high official.And no matter how big the official hat is, it will work on Mr. Chen's side?

Xun Qu hesitated again for a long time, "My master said that he knew Mr. Chen a long time ago."

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Can I ask who is an expert?"

Xun Qu said: "Master is the doctor of the Ministry of Rites and the Qing officials."

Chen Ping suddenly realized that it was so.

Among the many Lang officials in the Dali officialdom, three positions are the most important. The Ministry of Officials examines the meritorious service, the military selection department of the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Rituals. Xun Qu's preacher, the lord of the Ministry of Rites and the official priest of the Ministry of Rites, is also in charge of the evaluation of the merits and demerits of all the gods of the mountains and rivers in Dali, so he has the reputation of "Little Heavenly Official" on the mountain.

This old doctor who has been in this official position for many years seems to be an old friend with Li Jin, the God of Okinawa River.

The last time she showed up was to visit Red Candle Town to find trouble with the Yuye River Water God Empress who caused trouble.

It's just that this kind of official, similar to Cao Gengxin, the construction supervisor in his hometown, is not suitable for making friends with Luoposhan.

In Chen Pingan's view, a person's so-called "reasonable" is nothing more than "knowledge".

It's about what you know and what you don't do.

Xun Qu accompanied Chen Pingan to the door of an inn near an alley.

Xun Qu traveled all the way, recalling the words of Honglu Siqing and asking the same question twice.

Cui Chan, the national teacher, seems to have never cared much about Mr. Guan's official department and the Ministry of Rites.As for the deserted yamen like Honglu Temple, they don't even show their faces.

However, Master Guoshi has always been very concerned about the Arsenal Division of the Ministry of War, as well as the divisions of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry.

Therefore, among the arsenal division doctors, it is said that it is the position that is most likely to lose an official position, or even lose his head.

In addition, it is said that the national teacher will personally review the resumes of such small officials as the heads of the two departments of household and industry.

Xun Qu is not sure about one thing now, because of his master's relationship, has his official behavior in Honglu Temple already fallen into the eyes of the national teacher?

Chen Pingan returned the wooden box containing the letter-passing flying sword to Xun Qu, and said with a smile: "The mansion newspaper I borrowed twice from Honglu Temple, before I leave the capital, will be handed over to Liu Jia, who guards the alley, and Xun Qu Ben just ask him for it."

Xun Qu bowed to thank him.

Because I know that Mr. Chen is helping himself in the capital, without showing the mountains and not showing the water.

It doesn't seem to matter whether Xun Qu recognizes a monk who is in charge of guarding the residence of the national teacher, and whether he is familiar with him or not.But it's actually very important.

Xiaomo is the one who buys the most books today.

He went to the fairy inn recommended by the young master last night, just like the ferry on the mountain, there will be a place similar to a pawn shop, which is convenient for the qi practitioners staying in the inn to exchange the immortal money.

Xiao Mo gave the young master the three Xiaoshu coins, and converted them into snow coins, a large stack of bank notes, and some gold leaves and silver ingots necessary for walking in the rivers and lakes.

In particular, Xiaomo specially asked that inn to help him with a big bag of golden melon seeds.

Because when we arrived at Luoluo Mountain, this object was reused.

At first, the female Guixiu who claimed to be the shopkeeper of the inn was reluctant, because fancy things like golden melon seeds are really not common. , who needs this thing when they are away from home.Just waiting for the young monk named Xiaomo to say that she is the entourage of Chen Shanzhu, Gaiyan melted down dozens of gold ingots and pinched a bag of golden melon seeds with her own hands, but she still refused in the end collect money.

Today, in addition to the classics of various schools of thought, Xiao Mo also bought a lot of miscellaneous books.

Everyone's poetry collections, literati's notes, strange novels, even some academic articles that have been transcribed and compiled into books, and some art books that are said to be "martial arts cheats" in the imperial examinations.

Chen Ping joked: "Why, do you still want to pass the imperial examination to become an official? Then some people are busy. The county examination, the government examination, first become a child-born scholar, and then the three-year-old autumn township examination, and pass the examination. The imperial examination in the spring of the capital, when you become a Jinshi, the final examination is the palace examination, which is progressive and difficult, just like a carp jumping over a dragon's gate."

"However, if you really have this idea, it's a good thing. You can ask Cao Qinglang to teach you. It's more reliable than buying these so-called secret books on art making and strategy theory."

"It's just that the Jinshi of the Great Li Dynasty is indeed the most difficult to obtain. There is no such thing as one of them. It can be said that it is the most valuable Jinshi and first degree in the whole Haoran Jiuzhou. When there are too many people, the reading seeds of the vassal states will gather here. Furthermore, the questions from the Ministry of Rites are too complicated, and there is no fixed number of ways. On the contrary, the small countries in the south of Aquarius Island have promulgated some official revision books. It is a shortcut, and it will be useful if you memorize it. Of course, this move has also been criticized by some well-educated Confucians, and they are filled with righteous indignation.

"So Xiaomo, if you really want to be the number one scholar, you can go to a certain country south of the capital and stay for ten years. There, relatives and relatives will open the Mengjiaozi shop, that is, practice calligraphy. After that, go to a private school and get in touch with elementary school books. To learn calligraphy and memorization, rich people go to their own private schools, and children without money go to rural schools. As long as the family is not too poor, they can usually afford it. After all, there is a place where they can read and write, and then they start to study classics and study the subject .”

Xiao Mo has been listening to the young master's eloquence.

Chen Ping noticed Xiao Mo's curious eyes, and seemed to be puzzled why he was so concerned about this matter.

Chen Ping nodded with a smile and said: "You guessed it right, I did think about taking part in the imperial examination. When I traveled far away for the second time, when I was not practicing boxing, I really read a lot of related books. Get the status of a child student to start, and strive to become a master of juren, and you will be satisfied, silver Jinshi and gold juren."

Of course it doesn't matter now, anyway, there is Cao Qinglang among the students.

Xiao Mo sighed.

It's not that he really has any thoughts about fame in the imperial examinations, but Xiaomo really can't imagine that books and knowledge in today's world are so cheap, they are simply worthless.

Back then, how rare and valuable was a random book full of words in the world?

So Xiaomo had an idea. When he arrived at Luopo Mountain, he decided to build a library, named Wanjuan Building.

Of course, it is best to ask the young master to help you choose a good name.

Xiao Mo was straightforward, and immediately said the matter from his heart.

Chen Pingan didn't need to think much, and blurted out: "It can be called the Two Confused Buildings."

Xiao Mo flipped through Xinhu's more than a hundred famous poetry collections, and suddenly realized: "Wonderful!"

As a sword cultivator, Ya likes to collect books.

There is a cloud in the ancient poems, and the book and the sword are both boundless.

Books and swords, two boundless, of course.Two dazed buildings!

Chen Pingan said casually: "Of course, whether to use this name or not is up to you."

Xiao Mo said brightly, "My lord, the name of this library is so good that Xiao Mo is reluctant to reveal it to the public."

As a result, the young master covered his sleeves with both hands, and squinted.

Xiao Mo immediately said wisely: "Then use it, it's better to have fun alone than to have fun with others."

In the night, the restaurants on both sides of the Changpu River are high and low, stretching all the way.

Decorated with lights and festoons, bustling and noisy, drinking orders one after another, the sound of boxing games broke the windows, and graceful singing followed.

According to legend, some people who like to drink and are not short of money can drink four or five meals in a place like Changpu River from evening to early morning, just by moving a little.

Today, a descendant of the Guan family in Yizhou who seldom comes here to drink, has a very private wine bureau.

Pulling Jing Kuan, who is both a colleague and not a friend, after leaving the Yamen, the two headed straight for the Changpu River.

Guan Yiran and Jing Kuan's backgrounds are completely different, it can be regarded as a difference, but now their official positions are the same.

Although Guan Yiran has enough military achievements and excellent official experience, he is an unsuspecting candidate for a servant, but no matter what, Jing Kuan, who was born in the Han clan, can serve as a certain department of Qing officials at the age of only a few years in his early thirties The Langzhong became one of the chief officials of the Eighteen Divisions of the Ministry of Household Cleaning and Officials. This shows how broad the road to promotion in Dali's officialdom is.

Someone in front touched his head and raised his head to curse angrily. It turned out that he got a mouthful of phlegm falling from the sky.

Jing Kuan said in a low voice: "Yi Ran, I'm a little nervous. Seeing that Chen Jianxian, what should I say so as not to be cold?"

Because Guan Yiran left Jingkuan very early, he was not as familiar with this place as Jing Kuan, so he needed to ask people for directions, and when he heard Jing Kuan's question, he just smiled and said nothing.

Jing Kuan continued: "What taboos do you have, tell me quickly, don't pretend to be deaf and dumb here."

Guan Yiran joked: "Taboo? Just one. When the time comes, you won't be able to drink enough, and we, Chen Jianxian, won't drink to our fullest. We come back disappointed, and we will definitely remember you later."

Jing Kuan was still worried, "Is he a mountain god who has no temper at such a young age? Waiting for me to make a fool of myself, are you a good joke?"

Friends of friends are actually not as easy to get along with as you think.

Guan Yiran rolled his eyes and said: "My lord, if you are interested or not, don't come to the officialdom. If the whole meal is decent, and the words are not leaking, then what are we doing at the wine table? Today's drink, It’s different from the big and small wine parties you used to participate in. If you can’t believe me, when you meet Chen Jianxian later, you can say that you never drink, just watch.”

This guy Jing Kuan is good at everything, but he is too cautious and can't let go of his hands and feet. I heard that he used to drink some "little meat" flower wine with a group of colleagues from the household department who were about the same age. Jing Kuan would straighten his waist Pole, sitting upright, if there is a woman snuggling up, it is like facing a big enemy.

Later, the two met an acquaintance, wearing a green shirt, a long coat and cloth shoes.

He was standing at the door of a restaurant, apparently waiting for them.

Jing Kuan recognized the other person at a glance, it was the stranger who was sitting and drinking tea with Guan Yiran in the household department yamen.

What's more, it's not long since the last time we met at the government office, and the other party is a person who can casually joke with Guan Yiran.

Let Jing Kuan remember deeply.

It seemed that this person was mistaken for a waiter at the door touting business, and a customer in front actually started asking him something.

The man was not annoyed, he smiled and stretched out his hand towards the inside of the restaurant, probably to help guide the way.

Guan Yiran stepped forward quickly, glanced at the signboard of the restaurant, "Tsk tsk, you really know how to pick places, among the hundreds of restaurants, this one has the best drinks!"

Chen Ping smiled and said: "

Suguisu, the cost of a meal is not low. "

Guan Yiran waved his hand and said, "Go to the next door, go to the next door! The Lord Jing next to me likes to eat meat but not vegetarian."

Chen Ping smiled and looked at the young and promising Hubu doctor. According to Guan Yiran, this person is also in charge of the fish scale album in the north stall of the Hubu.

In fact, the last time we met, Chen Pingan had already discovered that behind this young official, there were as many as six red lanterns hung by various gods of mountains and rivers. In the eyes of the spirit watcher, this doctor looks rich in culture. At the same time, even if this person is trekking alone, walking in the deep mountains and old forests, he will naturally avoid evil spirits and cowardly ghosts, and can make the mountains and rivers take the initiative to detour.

Jing Kuan quickly said, "It's good here."

Chen Ping said with a smile: "Master Lang Zhong, are you sure you don't want to change restaurants? It was agreed in advance that if Master Lang Zhong is polite to me, I will really be rude."

Seeing that they didn't move, as if the man in the blue shirt was waiting for him to change his mind, Jing Kuan could only lower his voice, and asked Guan Yiran in doubt, "When will that Chen Jianxian arrive?"

Guan Yiran suppressed a smile, raised his finger and pointed at Chen Pingan, "Chen Accountant, Mr. Jing is asking you something. When will that Chen Jianxian arrive? Don't blame me for not reminding you. Don't make Mr. Jing wait for a long time. The chief official of the first ten divisions of the Qing Dynasty is in charge of the money bags of the three states, so take it easy, even a big official in the frontier like the governor, if he sees Mr. Jing in the yamen of the household department, he will be short."

Among the six departments of Dali, there are the most Lang officials in the Qingli Department of the Household Department, because they are in charge of the imperial court's money bags and have the most nicknames in the officialdom. .

As soon as Chen Ping lifted his foot, Guan Yiran hopped away, pointed at Chen Ping, laughed and said, "My lord, you are far away in the sky and close in front of you. This accountant Chen is the one you are going to drink tonight." gone."

Jing Kuan was stunned for a moment, wishing he could dig a hole in the ground, so he bowed to the sword fairy and apologized at the same time, "Chen Shanzhu, I was in the yamen before, so I offended you."

Previously in Guan Yiran, that bastard's house.The other party claimed to be Master Guan's younger brother who had been recruited in the rivers and lakes. As soon as he arrived in the capital, he rushed over to pay homage to the mountain...

It turned out that this Chen Jianxian spoke quite funny.

"I'm also arrogant. I can't beat him, but I can't drink him?"

Wouldn't it be funnier to speak for yourself?

Chen Ping said with a smile: "If you offend but don't offend, there is nothing to say. See you at the wine table later."

The three of them crossed the threshold together and walked into the restaurant. Chen Jianxian led the way in person, and when they climbed the stairs one after another, Jing Kuan secretly gave Guan Yiran an elbow, and said with a low voice, "Guan Yiran, are you cheap or not?! "

Guan Yiran said seriously: "What are you talking about, the one in front of us is the sword fairy."

In a private room on the top floor, Chen Pingan came with his own drinks.

However, there is an unwritten rule in the large and small restaurants on the Changpu River. Guests can bring their own drinks, but they still have to pay a sum of money, and the prices vary.

In fact, it is a rule specially made for those gods on the mountain. Anyway, there is no shortage of money for entertaining friends here, and it is not some god money.

Guan Yiran's so-called "vegetarian" before actually means that in this restaurant, there are no young women called "wine singers" to help the guests warm and pour the wine, and there are no female musicians to add to the fun.

Therefore, the taste of the drinks here is notoriously dull in the capital.

After Guan Yiran took his seat, he smiled and said, "Chen Accountant, you gave me an inkstone earlier, I heard it came from the waterside pit, right?"

Before Chen Pingan went to visit Guan Yiran and gave away a hand-made inkstone. Chen Pingan bullied the other party for not knowing the inside story, saying that it was the old pit on Yanshan Mountain in the blessed land of Yunku, and casually named it "Shui Gang Pit".

lie to me?Chen Pingan looked puzzled and said, "Otherwise?"

Guan Yiran sneered and said, "Let's not talk about the old pits in Yanshan Mountain, even the new pits, it seems that there is no water. Accountant Chen is very knowledgeable in gift giving."

"Why, it was Chen Jianxian who spent a lot of money and paid a high price to buy a piece of land on Yanshan Mountain with the blessed land of Yunku. He named it 'Shui Gang Pit' and planned to resell it to us in Aquarius Island so that the price can be raised on the ground? "

In fact, Guan Yiran donated this hand-made inkstone to the Shangshu lord in his government office due to the generosity of others.

If it weren't for the two daughters of Ma Shangshu, they looked too much like their father,

What Lord Shangshu, did you see yourself outside, Guan Yiran would definitely call out Lord Yuezhang now.

On the contrary, the granddaughter of Sun Mao, the chief minister of Honglu Temple, is a handsome and handsome girl.Therefore, young people in Yichi Lane and Chi'er Street, whoever is a bit courageous, like to call their father-in-law cheeky when they see the old temple minister with a very good temper on the road.

Guan Yiran folded his arms around his chest, "Chen Jianxian probably forgot about our household department, and there is a fat and fat inkstone affairs department?"

Chen Pingan laughed and said: "You said it casually, but you still take it seriously. Hurry up and punish yourself with a drink."

Guan Yiran clicked his tongue and said, "You like to beat people up, don't you?"

Plates of dishes were brought to the table, Guan Yiran was in charge of pouring the wine, mostly chatting.

Jing Kuan didn't talk much, but he drank a lot.

Chen Pingan said suddenly: "It's actually a good suggestion. I'll discuss it with the Yunku Jiang family later to see if I can buy the century-old purchase of that inkstone mountain. Doesn't your household happen to have an inkstone affairs department?"

"I advise you not to earn this money. This is the problem. There is an irresistible inkstone affairs bureau over there. He has a vicious heart when he earns money."

Guan Yiran shook his head and said, "This inkstone affairs office sounds like a Qingshui yamen, but it's actually rich in oil and water. Anyway, Jing Langzhong and I are very jealous. If it wasn't for that bastard in charge, I really want to find a way out. , Try to see if you can get a share."

Jing Kuan smiled and said nothing.

Guan Yiran stepped on the chair with one foot, and suddenly started cursing, "This kid, he's called Longju, he's a piggy! He's in charge of the purchase of inkstones from other places, up and down the mountain, with a long hand I can't support him. I usually speak loudly, and I really think that I have the surname of Shangzhu, so I am puzzled. Speaking of his father, after a few generations, officials are notoriously cautious, why? When I got to this kid, I started to be deceived by lard, and I was notorious for being ruthless and ruthless when I made money."

Jing Kuan smiled and said: "When he came to your side, he still spoke very politely."

Here in the capital, no matter how good the atmosphere is in the yamen, there will always be a few fly droppings.Do things unethically, and don't pay attention to people.

In the words of Guan Yiran and his gang, it's shameless.

In the capital city of Dali, the princes of officials in Yichi Lane, and the younger brothers of generals in Chi'er Street, the first-class ones, like Guan Yiran, Cao Gengxin, and Yuan Zhengding, were thrown into local officials by their families, relying on their ancestors. Yin, starting out in the officialdom, but can rely on his true ability to gain a firm foothold, step by step, and have a bright future.

Otherwise, someone like Liu Xunmei who enlisted in the army early, scrambling in the forest of swords and the dead, counting his head on the waistband of his trousers, relying on his solid military achievements,

Like Guan Yiran, who joined the army, served as a monk accompanying the army for many years, and was transferred to be the supervisor of Dadu, he is even more out of the ordinary.That's why there are so many elders in the officialdom who complain that Guan Yiran only wears such a small official hat.

The second-class ones can also become officials, but the officials are not big, and most of them are Beijing officials. Whether it is through the imperial examination or the family's favor, they can gain a firm foothold in the yamen.

The third class, they don't do their job properly, but they can be regarded as law-abiding, at least they don't cause trouble to the family.The lowest class is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, as long as it can have some relationship with the prodigal, it is absolutely unambiguous.Idle and idle, likes to compete with others and be jealous, has no fart skills, and has airs bigger than the sky.

Guan Yiran snorted, "That's being polite to my surname, do you think he was being polite when he met you? Did he look straight at you?"

Jing Kuan said, "It's okay."

Guan Yiran looked at Chen Ping'an with a smile, and then raised his finger to Jing Kuan, "Look, listen, the words are impeccable, take a lesson, he is already a veteran in the officialdom at a young age, if this guy It would be unreasonable to have a bright future.”

Chen Ping said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what you say, as long as there is no leftover, the quality of the wine will be fine, as long as the quality of the wine is fine, the character will definitely be fine."

Guan Yiran thought deeply, "That's true."

So Jing Kuan had to drink again.

Guan Yiran suppressed a smile, and asked you, Jing Kuan, to experience Chen Accountant's persuasive skills.

Damn it, back then at Shujian Lake, it was really intertwined, and those who were invited into the wine jar didn't know it.

Guan Yiran said abruptly, "Jing Kuan may have been released."

Jing Kuan immediately shook his head and said: "There is nothing left in the eight characters, what does he do?"

Guan Yiran rolled his eyes and said: "Fart your fart, hold it, you kid will continue to hold it for me, it's a final matter, and I'm still here with me. In our yamen, if you want to say In the official department, I, Guan Yiran, have no acquaintances, who dares to say that I have acquaintances?"

Jing Kuan felt helpless.

Guan Yiran is really drunk.

Otherwise, it would be inappropriate to say such a thing.

Of course, the more important thing is that Guan Yiran regards himself and Chen Pingan as his own.

In the officialdom of Dali, no one knows that "the surname of officials is Guan".

Now that the officials are all surnamed Guan, it is conceivable that there are so many former officials of the Guan family.

The key is that neither the late emperor nor today's emperor had any grievances about it.

After all, Mr. Guan was one of the few officials who dared to talk back to Cui Guoshi face to face in his early years.

When Guan Yiran resigned from his position as the supervisor of Dadu and returned to the capital, unexpectedly he was not working in the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, but in the most hated Ministry of Households. It's a real relegation.

Chen Pingan nodded, raised his wine glass, and said with a smile: "I wish Sir Lang Zhong to go out to be an official, benefit one side, and be a real parent official who treats people like his own son."

Jing Kuan was originally worried that Guan Yiran would tell more inside stories, but fortunately, he just stopped talking, and it seemed that he was still not really overwhelmed.

Not long ago, the left servant of the household department called Jing Kuan over to question him. He asked a lot of questions. Although he didn't have a clear intention, Jing Kuan knew that he was very likely to leave Beijing to become an official.

Moreover, Lord Shangshu also thinks highly of himself.

But where to go, Jing Kuan only has a few guesses.

When Guan Yiran deliberately mentioned this matter to Chen Shanzhu, Jing Kuan became somewhat certain that the place where he was sent out as an official and county guard was probably not too far from Longzhou .It might even be in Longzhou, where the "Jurisdiction" includes Luoba Mountain and Piyun Mountain!

The right time, place and people were in harmony, and Jing Kuan already had everything before he left Beijing to serve as a magistrate.

Being an official in Longzhou is recognized as both a huge risk and a huge opportunity in Dali official circles.Those who end badly, like Wu Yuan, and those who end well, like Fu Yu.

After a meal of wine, the three of them drank for more than an hour. In fact, Chen Pingan didn't try to persuade them to drink. It was Guan Yiran who was fighting with Jing Kuan at the wine table.

After the two Hubu officials walked out of the restaurant, they staggered, supported each other, and walked by the Changpu River. Looking at the back of the green shirt who was walking steadily and gradually drifting away, Jing Kuan was very envious. .

As soon as the cool wind blows, the smell of alcohol dissipates a little.

Jing Kuan said softly: "Thank you."

Guan Yiran hiccupped, "When we get to the place, do a few more good things."

"Officials in the local area are no more than we are in the capital. There are many yamen here, the rules are strict, and the boundaries are clear. Anyone who is an official knows it by heart. We only talk about Nanxunfang over there. What is a doctor? It's just outside. To do many things, you have to rely on your conscience. It doesn’t matter, you can do it or not, you can be smart or confused, you can nod or shake your head, you can know or not, it’s all up to you. "

"Jing Kuan, my great-grandfather once told me that it is not easy to be a clean and honest official. It will only be more difficult to be a clean and honest official. What does it mean to be a good official is that you always feel uncomfortable in your heart."

When the two walked to the arch bridge, Guan Yiran staggered, quickly ran to the railing of the bridge, and spit wine towards the Changpu River.

Jing Kuan, who had originally patted Guan Yi lightly and then backed his back, guessed that he was involved, but suddenly Jing Kuan was overwhelmed, and followed Guan Yiran, lying on the railing together.

In the end, the two stopped disagreeing, turned around and sat on the ground, leaning against the railing of the arch bridge, and smiled at each other.

Chen Ping'an walks along a colorful river.

Chen Pingan didn't bring Xiao Mo with him in today's wine game, but just let him wander around the Changpu River.

Xiao Mo had nothing to do, so he bought a few lotus lanterns from a roadside stall, put them in the river, and then walked slowly following the river lanterns.

After just walking a few steps here, Xiaomo found that he could almost distinguish between the natives of the capital and the outsiders at a glance. , there was still a bit of restraint in his expression.

Xiaomo stood by the Changpu River, looking at the river.

Fetch water with a bamboo basket, and pick up poems chanting the moon through the ages.

The horseshoe shook the ground, splashing out a century-old frontier song.

Xiao Mo was in a daze, and couldn't help but think of the chance encounter ten thousand years ago.

That existence, with his arms around his sleeves, looking at the world, from the ascension platform where only earth immortals should have ascended, "rebellious", slowly descended alone.

The world.

The word, at that moment, is not a noun, it's like a verb.

Perhaps seeing Xiao Mo sitting not far from the Ascension Platform, that existence exchanged a glance with Xiao Mo, then smiled at the convenience and stretched out his sleeves...

At this time tonight, Chen Pingan was walking by the river, waving to Xiaomo not far away.

The drinks tonight are not for nothing, Guan Yiran is a very disciplined official, so the guy who was messing around in the inkstone affairs office mentioned earlier was not an inadvertent remark at all, it was not a rush of words on the wine table, Instead, he was reminding Chen Pingan to say hello to Dong Shuijing, a fellow countryman, and to be more careful in doing business in the future, as he has been targeted by a small group of elite children of the capital who are jealous of his business.

It's not that the guy from the Hubu Inkstone Affairs Bureau is not a guy with the surname of Shangzhu, which can really hurt Dong Shuijing. In fact, the other party doesn't even have the qualifications to really wrestle with Dong Bancheng, but many dudes in the capital also have their own hills. They like to hug each other, and they are connected with each other. In the capital, they may be shy turtles one by one, but as long as they leave the capital and go to a place, they are very aggressive, no matter whether it is up or down the mountain, or in the official and business circles.Once Dong Shuijing is targeted by the partnership, it will be a big trouble after all.

Of course, this has a certain relationship with Dong Shuijing's closed door to make money, which has caused many contacts in Dali's official circles to remain invisible, which makes people feel like a soft persimmon.

The world is so complicated, maybe whoever abides by the rules can't help others to mess up.

It's like on the bank of the Changpu River, when a person walks in a decent manner, and then a drunkard comes crookedly, he can't make way, and he can't hide.

Xiao Mo suppressed the uncontrollable ups and downs in his heart, and said in his heart: "Young master, there is a sneaky guy who secretly looked at you twice just now."

"The other party is an immortal, just like Senior Lu, but better at fighting."

"I originally wanted to wait until the third time to catch him. But the other party was very cautious, as if he had detected my intention in advance. The young master is right. Sure enough, these fortune tellers need to be treated with a higher level."

Chen Pingan was a little surprised, but also a little helpless. After falling, it was difficult to take the lead.

Chen Pingan thought for a while, a Taoist from the fairyland?

It can't be Qi Zhen, the Great Heavenly Lord of Shen Gaozong.Xie Shi from Beiju Luzhou is even more impossible.A strange person who just passed by Aquarius Continent?Or that Lu Chen's direct disciple?This person practiced Taoism in the mountains of the old Baishuang Dynasty for many years, and his pseudonym was Cao Rong.The Taoist temple in the mountain he left behind will be the next sect in Aquarius Continent.

Cao Rong once shined brilliantly in the old dragon city battlefield.

A total of eight landscapes, flowers and birds were sacrificed, and an array was formed to protect the entire Old Dragon City.

Each of Bai Yujing's three head teachers has a private seal, which is stamped on the four landscape painting albums. The "Taoist scripture master" of the big head teacher is truly invincible. Wen Wu is the first, and Wu Wu is the second.Master Lu Chen's "Stone to the Present".

There is also "Seeing Peach Blossoms Again" by Daxuan Duguan Sun Daozhang.

In addition, the four seals on the four flower and bird scrolls at the back are also of great origin, namely Fulu Yuxuan's "Blockbuster", "Little Phoenix" by Zhao Tianlai, the great celestial master of Longhu Mountain, and Huolong Zhenren's "Twittering". .

And the "white eyes" of Cui Chan, the master of the Great Li Kingdom.

A middle-aged Taoist who appeared in front of Chen Pingan and Xiao Mo was Cao Rong.

Cao Rong didn't play tricks, he was very sincere.

Cao Rong called the head of the Taoist gate, and asked with a smile: "Dare to ask the hidden official, poor Taoist master, how are you doing now? Have you returned to Baiyujing?"

Chen Pingan cupped his fists to return the salute, "The younger generation has met Cao Xianjun. If there is no accident, Master Lu has not returned to Qingming Tianxia. He may have to go to Osmanthus Island and Yunxia Mountain. Cao Xianjun can go to Yunxia Mountain to wait for Master Lu to meet him. The chances are greater."

Cao Rong smiled wryly, "If Master doesn't want to take the initiative to find me, then he will definitely not see Master."

Xiao Mo took a look at Cao Rong.

It seems that Fellow Daoist Lu's ability to recruit apprentices seems to be pretty good.

Gu Qingsong, whose dao name is Xiancha, made his young master respect him very much.

In front of this one, the Taoism is not too low.

Cao Rong asked with a smile: "Officer Yin, who is this expert?"

Xiao Mo gave the other party a Daoist Jishou, "The Taoist name is Xizhu. Cao Xianjun is the same as fellow Daoist Lu, just call me Xiaomo."

Cao Rong's heart tightened, and he slapped his head, "I've met Senior Xizhu."

This person's so-called Fellow Daoist Lu is naturally his master.

The previous two times he used Palm View Mountains and Rivers, but for the first time, he didn't notice anything, and there was nothing unusual.Chen Pingan obviously didn't know that he was spying from a distance.

The second time, in an instant, Cao Rong's heartstrings tensed for no reason, as if facing a formidable enemy.Still not from Chen Pingan, but a subtle change elsewhere in Changpu River.

Cao Rong hurriedly made an exception to deduce a hexagram for himself, and the result was astonishing.

The "young" cultivator in front of him, who didn't have the slightest air of superiority, was no accident, an unknown Ascension Realm on the top of Haoran Mountain.

Could it be the Taoist guardian secretly dispatched by the Zhongtu Confucian Temple to Chen Pingan?

Cao Rong showed up tonight to ask about the whereabouts of his master, Lu Chen, without any deep meaning.

Therefore, I came and went in a hurry, and said goodbye to Chen Pingan and that "senior Xizhu".

Xiao Mo suddenly laughed and said: "Cao Xianjun, let me say something more, friendship is friendship, and rules are rules. Similar things should not be used as examples."

Cao Rong nodded slightly.

When Cao Rong left, Xiao Mo asked, "My lord, was what I said just now too inhumane? Is there still the suspicion of relying on the old to sell the old?"

Chen Ping shook his head and said with a smile: "No, it's very fairy-like, and very elegant."

Tonight's immortal Cao Rong.

There is also the swordsman Pei Min who met in Tongyezhou before.

There are more and more strange people on these mountain tops.

Chen Pingan dissipated the smell of alcohol and patted his sleeves.

Xiao Mo complied, and then asked: "Is it the custom of the Beijing Wine Bureau again?"

Chen Pingan nodded, and said decisively: "Of course!"
