Chapter 884： Words of the World

Chen Pingan and Xiao Mo stood at the railing of the ferry, under their eyelids, the earth, mountains and rivers were winding like silk threads.

Raise your sight, if the sky has no four walls, then the vision of man is like an invisible wall in which everyone is imprisoned.

Xiao Mo asked: "The son is waiting for someone?"

"I am waiting for the owner of this ferry."

Chen Ping'an turned his head and looked at the third floor of the ferry, then withdrew his gaze, and took Xiao Mo to continue walking along the bow. In fact, the ferry named Liquan at their feet was still a magic weapon of the immortal family. Since the establishment of the Song family of Dali, more than a hundred years ago, the Song family of Dali had not yet escaped the status of a vassal of the Lu dynasty, internal and external troubles, and weak national power. They often needed to borrow this mountain ferry from the Changchun Palace to solve the local state. In the county’s drought, immortal masters were invited to cast spells and rained sweet rain. It is said that the Dayi court owed a lot of debts for this, and Changchun Palace never collected debts with the Song family. So when the Dayi dynasty rose, several Song emperors The monks of Changchun Palace have always been treated with special preference. If it weren't for the fact that Changchun Palace had no monks at the Yupu realm, it would be undoubtedly a matter of joining the sect. Presumably, the Emperor of Dayli would make an exception and personally participate in the celebration to congratulate him.

Chen Ping'an explained: "We boarded the ship before and were uninvited. If we leave without saying goodbye, we will be rude. It is a taboo thing to do on the mountain."

"If we take the initiative to visit the ferry steward, it will be easier to think about it when we return to the Changchun Palace."

"In Beiju Luzhou, it doesn't matter. The customs of the two places are still different. It can be regarded as one side of the water and soil nurturing the other side."

Xiao Mo smiled and said, "Stay by the son's side, with ears and eyes, you can learn a lot of human feelings outside of books."

Chen Ping'an didn't take this at all, but just by the way told Xiao Mo about the past of Changchun Palace and the Song family of Dali.

Xiao Mo took a high look at this Dali local fairy mansion and said: "Through the difficulties together, Changchun Palace can be regarded as waiting for the clouds to see the moon."

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "To help each other in the same boat is indeed a good fate."

"Xiao Mo, in the future, you will leave Luopo Mountain, Jiuzhou, and other places are easy to say, but Beiju Luzhou must be visited."

"Okay, Xiao Mo must travel north to this place if he has the opportunity."

Chen Pingan took Xiao Mo from the bow to the stern and looked north.

If there are sword immortals in Luzhou, Beiju, who died in a foreign land, a continent of mountains and rivers, as long as you are a sword repairer, no matter you are foe or foe, there is a custom of sacrificing swords on a continent.

Just like the Ghost Mythical Valley in the Skeleton Beach, Jingguancheng Gaocheng will take the initiative to hand his fists, not hesitating to expend a lot of spiritual energy, but also to open up the restrictions of heaven and earth, just to let the sword repair the Puxi commemorate the sword and lift up higher.

As if sacrificing the sword, the ghost valley can't fall behind people, and the sword light can't be lower than people.

And the Muyi Mountain, which is close at hand, and Pima Zong, who are mortal enemies with Jingguan City, will never wait for an opportunity to attack Jingguan City in any way.

Just about this matter, Chen Ping'an didn't say much to Xiao Mo.

Although the scene was magnificent and breathtaking. But it's best to never see it again.

In the two foreign battlefields of the Great Wall of Jianqi and Baopingzhou, the sword fairy of Luzhou in Beiju, who could have been out of the way, has withered too much.

On the third floor of the ferry, a beautiful woman with a successful cultivation and youthful appearance, Xiu, dressed as a woman, without powder, and graceful, just accidentally glanced at Chen Ping'an, she forced herself to calm down, and sighed in her heart. With a sound, it is a blessing, not a curse, but a misfortune, so she can only show up in person. The woman is the current steward of this Liquan ferry. If possible, she would like to pretend that she hasn’t seen anything, and the other party quietly boarded the ship and ignored it. , Swaying off the boat, let alone stopping, blamed myself for still not holding back the inquisitive heart, and looked at the bow of the ship a few more times.

She was really curious about the legendary sword fairy in Qingshan.

She took a deep breath, stroked the blue silk on the temples, and adjusted the lap of the Lifa robe.

Earlier, Yuhong Gao disciples had a dispute with others. In a battle, the mountain ferry used to deal with these kinds of rivers and lakes. It was always loose outside and tight inside.

Then on the Liquan ferry side, someone found that among the crowd watching, there seemed to be two unregistered gas trainers, all of whom were strange faces. Looking at it again, they were almost scared out of their bodies. One of them was actually The Sovereign Chen of Luopo Mountain, who stabbed the sky in Zhengyang Mountain, is called rituals. He demolished the Patriarch Hall and erected a monument on the border.

The female cultivator who was specially responsible for checking the abnormal ferry quickly found the steward and asked the latter to decide.

Rush people? Make up money?

Of course, it's up to the manager to decide whether to invite Sword Immortal to drink or drink tea.

The female clerk calmed down for a while, and then she pinched the tactics and performed a transposition technique. When she came to the deck of the ferry, she hurriedly walked towards the sword fairy in Qingshan who had only one entourage at the stern.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is bold and brazen.

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

She is a Jindan Dixian of Changchun Palace, serving as an enshrined elder. She has a seat in the Patriarch Hall, and the seat is relatively forward. Therefore, compared with the genealogical monks of Zhengyang Mountain, Laolongcheng and Yunxia Mountain, she needs to know more inside stories on the mountain and heard more horrifying truths.

Seeing the young mountain lord of the Luopo Mountain, she bowed her knees and gave a blessing and demeanor. "I saw the lord Chen Shan, my name is Gan Yi, with the name of rime, and now she is the steward of this ferry."

The female seminarian was afraid of taking advantage of her name, so she hurriedly added: "It's the sweet, refreshing joy."

Chen Ping'an clasped his fist and said, "I have seen Gan manage things."

Xiao Mo glanced at Gan Yi, full of spirit, with two eyes.

This golden core female cultivator has bright eyes and a pair of wines on her cheeks. So the woman in front of her is a kind person.

Chen Ping'an helped introduce: "My house is dedicated to Xiao Mo. Small and small, strange Mo."

Xiao Mo made a polite, smiled kindly, and whispered softly: "Fortunately to see Master Gan."

Gan Yi hurriedly returned the gift, "Gan Yi has seen Master Xiao Mo."

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

The Changchun Palace has a lesson learned in this matter, so Gan Yi can't help but be careful.

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

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "There are two friends from the rivers and lakes on the boat who have known each other for many years. They came here to take a look. They had a drink and were just about to go back to the capital. I had to apologize to Gan Guan for rash boarding with Xiao Mo earlier. "

I wanted to say that the cost of docking at Niujiaodu for Liquan Ferry could be waived.

This sentence almost blurted out, but fortunately he held it back.

Talking about this with the wealthy Changchun Palace is too swollen and fat.

Gan Yi's mind turned sharply, and asked cautiously: "Chen Shanzhu's friend, but the Great Master Fish?"

In fact, she didn't want to ask, and it was easy to get involved, so she really didn't dare not ask.

There is no way, chatting with these high-powered mountain monks, the other party often has something to say, something else.

It seems to be all nonsense, but in fact not a word is nonsense.

She didn't dare to regard this young sword fairy from a poor background as a monk in the mountains who was pure-hearted and only relied on luck.

If it is Yuhong.

The ferry fee for that group of people has been collected. Pay it back? That's too cheap.

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

Otherwise, just a great master of martial arts, Changchun Palace really wouldn't have to struggle to cling to it, just a rather young but hopeless nine-level martial artist, it is not an end.

Although Changchun Palace is not a sect, it is the native immortal home of the Dayi Dynasty second only to the Longquan Jianzong. What's more, the mountain is also close to the place of Longxing of the Song family of Dayi.

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

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said, "It's not Yuhong, it's the old gang leader Zhu and Mr. Yu, but it's also a coincidence that both seniors are now serving as elders in Fushutang."

How Gan Yi was, and immediately understood that she had to send out three jars of fermented fermented rice at least.

Of course, Yuhong is indispensable, otherwise it will make it difficult for the two "seniors of the river and lakes" of Chen Shanzhu to be human.

Chen Pingan was about to leave. Gan Yi suddenly said: "Lord Chen Shan, it is our hindsight from the Changchun Palace. Changchun Palace is grateful for the fact that Mi Dajianxian guarded the road back then. The scenery along the way, if there is no Zhou, I hope Mi Dajianxian will forgive me a lot."

A few years ago, Changchun Palace had a female cultivator from the line of "Lin You", the elder of the Supreme Supreme Being. The journey to the south was nothing unexpected, and everything went smoothly. I never thought of the only great accident, but the one who walked right in front of my eyes. .

They passed by Piyun Mountain on the way, and there happened to be a famous guest named Yu Mi on the side of the Beiyue Mountain Monarch's Mansion. If they wanted to go south to return to their hometown, they went all the way to protect the road.

At that time, Piyunshan said that the ancestor of Yu Mi’s family is an old acquaintance with Wei Shanjun, and he is not a Jiazi time in his cultivation, he is a master of sea-viewing, and he is a master of sword and talisman. Not bad.

It turned out to be all nonsense...

Chen Ping’an nodded and smiled: “Okay, small things, I can help you talk. But I have also heard Mi Yu say about it. I can hear that he has a good impression of Changchun Palace, saying that your elders on the mountain are well-guarded. , Do your best, the younger generations practice diligently, get along very easily."

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

A sword immortal from the Great Wall of Jianqi has an unpredictable temperament. It is really impossible for people to take it lightly. In the Patriarch Hall of the Changchun Palace, this matter has been mentioned many times, and it is still pending.

The kind words of Chen Shanzhu in front of him should not be taken too seriously.

But if the other party doesn't even bother to say a word of kindness, it will be extremely problematic.

I never thought that today's casual chat, which does not seek merit but seeks no demerits, and the unexpected joy, let Gan Yi help her teacher solve a small heart disease.

On the journey to the south, in the territory of Huangting State, Changchun Palace dismissed a haunting painting demon from Yunshan Temple, and then relieved an old soldier from the trap, went to the middle of Aquarius Island and led a great heroic hero to his hometown. Finally, The most important secret was to go to Fengxue Temple to buy a small piece of pine for the general Su Gaoshan who was still alive at the time.

The Supreme Elder of the Changchun Palace and the ancestor of the Qin family in Daweigou had a very "story" between the two parties. Therefore, the Changchun Palace thought that this was possible beforehand. As a result, when the other party heard that he wanted to buy Wannian pine, he turned his face. I recognized the person and said it was impossible. Because the Wannian pine tree named "Long Love" grew on the Shenxian Terrace of Fengxue Temple, and it belonged to the Great Sword Immortal Wei Jin in name.

Therefore, a group of Changchun palace female cultivators touched their noses at Fengxue Temple. They returned disappointed and were anxious. They didn’t know how they confessed to the master, and how the master should be the best with a great military minister. The patrol envoy confessed.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yinhua was bright in another village. At the Niujiaoshan ferry on the way home, "Yu Mi" gave Han Biya a piece of pine in private when he disembarked.

In fact, after the Changchun Palace determined the authenticity of Wannian Song, it was extremely puzzled and puzzled how a monk of the middle five realms who had passed Yunshan Keqing succeeded in obtaining this thing.

buy?

Even if the monarch Weibo opened the golden mouth, with Fengxue Temple's temper, he would not nod his head.

steal?

Who has the ability to cross the mountain and water restrictions of the Fengxue Temple, and has the courage to climb the "long love" old pine?

Later, in the old Dragon City, the fighting was fierce. During the period, an unknown sword fairy with outstanding combat power appeared. He was handsome and his sword light was like a rainbow. He liked to cut the demon tribe's earth fairy either by dividing the body or cutting it off.

And it seems that this person is old acquaintance with the female sword fairy Li Cai of Luzhou in Beiju.

Changchun Palace first checked the identity of this person by comparing his own intelligence with Dali's spy information, only to discover that it turned out to be the "Yu Mi" of the "Sea Viewing Realm".

When the dispute between Luopo Mountain and Zhengyang Mountain began, as expected, it was Mi Yu, the Yupu Realm Sword Fairy who likes to drunk and lie on Yunxia at the Great Wall of Jianqi!

The elder brother Mi Hu is a great sword fairy who was once expected to enter the ascending realm.

There is a saying by the Dali Frontier Army that the more dead people they have seen, the look in the eyes of the living on the battlefield is almost the same as seeing the dead. When killing people, the hands are more stable and the heart is more stable.

This is the case in the battlefield at the foot of the mountain, presumably the Great Wall of Jianqi is even more the same, or even worse.

Therefore, the Changchun Palace elder who was in charge of protecting the road, because he often said coldly to the "Yu Mi" during his travels, now he often feels that his neck is chilled, as if she was wandering around the gate of a ghost.

Chen Pingan was a little puzzled. With Changchun Palace's detached position on Dayi Mountain, he had never had any grudges with Luopo Mountain. Seeing herself as the owner of the mountain, Gan Yi said that she would not be so restrained.

Actually, it's pretty good.

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

In addition to martial arts, monks on the mountain, there are also various "small hills" that do not have the boundary of the hill. For example, between the ferry stewards who often meet outside, there will be private friendships of different depths, and even special mirror flowers, water and moon, to connect with each other. , To facilitate the interoperability of some ways of making money.

And he, the last hidden official of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, was attributed to the "Chunbanzhai Battle" that fell down the mountain that year, and his prestige in the loose "gang" of the Transcontinental Ferry was unimaginable.

It’s a god-like god.

With the lifting of the ban on Shanshui Dibao by the Confucian Temple, there are no more taboos, and it is even more thrilling...

So much so that among the ferry stewards in the world, a competition from low to high gradually appeared inexplicably.

Holding a transcontinental ferry in hand, I look down on the ferry that can only fly around within one continent. Fortunately, I have been to the Upside-down Mountain and "doing a little bit of power" for the Jianqi Great Wall. I look down on those who don’t. The transcontinental ferry that had traded with the Great Wall of Jianqi, went to the Upside Down Mountain, and walked through the gate of Chunbanzhai to talk about business, and looked down upon the poor worms who had never seated in the lobby of Chunbanzhai.

Those who have been to Chunbanzhai and participated in that "mountain discussion" should look down on those who have not experienced the "hidden official style" in person.

Nowadays, such a small group of ferry boats are in charge, and they are all over the top. Looking at all the other ferry boats, they are all rubbish.

After all, how do you know that the undercurrents of the discussion back then were extremely dangerous, our lives were hanging by a thread, and the wave of Chunbazai's unresolved wave rose again?

The two sides confronted each other.

The hermit led more than a dozen sword immortals, and he almost closed the door and hacked people.

Gan Yi, as the steward of the Liquan Ferry, has of course heard some secret rumors about clouds covering the mist.

So Gan Yi knows who she faces.

It was not Chen Shanzhu, nor was it a closed disciple of Wensheng's line, but the last hermit of the Great Wall of Jianqi.

Last time the Changchun Palace Patriarch Hall was discussing matters, the palace lord said something meaningful.

Our Dayi is not far away from Beiju Luzhou.

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

Chen Pingan declined to say: "Forget it this time, I won't make any more harassment with Xiao Mo."

The Changchun Palace was listed as one of the candidates of the sect by the Dali court, and there was no way to fight for it.

Song Changjing also asked the Confucian Temple for three additional places in the Confucian Temple before discussing matters. Changchun Palace did not run around like Zhengyang Mountain and Yunxia Mountain to find a way. He did not think about getting a place for himself, probably because he was afraid of it. The Li Song family was embarrassed because of this. It can be seen that Changchun Palace's sense of sense of proportion is not generally good.

Although Chen Ping’an already knew about the three places, the Dayi Dynasty had arranged for them, namely the next sect of Zhengyang Mountain named "Huangshan Jianzong" by Emperor Bamboo, and a large temple near Longqiu of Yandang Mountain. Plus Cao Rong's Taoism.

Therefore, the Changchun Palace will not be an exception to the sect, but the status of the candidate of the sect is not an empty title to add to the cake. Once the Dali Iron Cavalry makes a great battle in the wild world, even if there is no Jade Pureland in the Changchun Palace, it can still be used. With permission from the Confucian Temple, he was able to make up for the vacancy. The next sect of the gods, as well as Yunxia Mountain, had to wait behind to make it.

Seeing Chen Pingan's unwillingness to stop drinking, Gan Yi was obviously a little disappointed.

She also didn't dare to joke with Chen Ping'an casually.

Otherwise, Gan Yi really has a sincere statement that is not a joke, and she wants to talk to the hermit.

As long as Chen Shanzhu is willing to go to the Changchun Palace as a guest, even if it is just a few glasses of wine and leave, the gang of crazy girls who are responsible for serving the wine to the table can grab their heads and care about their fellowship.

It is important to know that the court ladies of Changchun have always been extremely enlightened in their treatment of love between men and women.

A young female cultivator has already threatened that if Chen Jianxian came in person, I would be able to show up with a drink, and if I had to come here inadvertently, I would lick my feet, and I didn’t expect to pour it into my arms. There is no escape!

Where does Chen Ping'an know the secrets of these smoky mountains?

But if he really knew about it, it is estimated that Changchun Palace would not even think about seeing Chen Shanzhu's face for at least a few hundred years.

Chen Pingan said goodbye.

Wearing a blue shirt, his body turned into dozens of faint sword lights, which flashed by on the ferry.

Xiao Mo smiled, bowed his head and clasped his fists, said goodbye to Gan Yi, and then disappeared out of thin air.

There is no spiritual ripple on the Liquan ferry, the ferry formation is like a fake, but Gan Yi is not surprised.

At dusk, the clouds burned like fire.

Because Chen Ping'an didn't rush back to Dayi Capital, the sword light condensed his figure in the distance, and then the sword light dissipated again, reuniting further north a hundred miles away.

No longer using this unskilled escape method, Chen Ping’an took a walk on a sea of ​​fiery clouds, and smiled with the little Mo around him: “Hometown proverb, the fire burns the big cloud at night, and you will travel thousands of miles tomorrow. Actually, he landed in the sky of Lizhu Cave. Before taking root, very few people really traveled so far. They just went around in circles. The farthest was to go to the mountains to chop wood and burn charcoal, and then they would have to go home, maybe a round trip, which would be more than a hundred miles of landscape.

In the kiln fire on the ground in my hometown, I have seen countless morning and sunset glows in the sky.

Because first Zhou Haijing, then Zhu Fengxian and Yu Cangmang, Chen Ping'an realized what happened. In addition to having its own mirror, Luopo Mountain needs to use this matter to collect all kinds of news on Yizhou Mountain. Therefore, in addition to someone starting to build an espionage agency in Luopo Mountain, the expense of watching the various fairy palaces is not a small sum of money. If you want to watch other fairy houses and other fairy tales, you have to buy mountain spirit artifacts. Fortunately, apart from paying for it, Zhu Lian, Mi Dajianxian, and Chen Lingjun are all very suitable for this...people are among the dragons and phoenixes.

The guarding formation of Luopo Mountain is both offensive and defensive.

There is already the true figure of the Five Sacred Mountains of Lao Guanzhu, plus a picture of the sword fairy hanging in the old mountain shrine on the top of the mountain.

This trip to the barren hinterland has yielded a lot. Only talking about the jade city of the Cloud Pattern Dynasty, Chen Ping'an got the twelve flying swords from the emperor Ye Bao, who was named "One Step".

With the addition of the formation map gifted by Taiping Mountain, the attacking sword formation built in the Patriarch Hall of Ji Se Peak on the Luopo Mountain in the future is not weak. If you can kill Yupu, you can frighten the immortals.

Just the thought of spending money everywhere makes a hero short of breath. Fortunately, Chen Ping’an remembers that he seems to be an anonymous guest of the Liu family in Ai Aizhou.

If you are named, you need to show your face. Keqing will "click" every few years. If you are not named, you don’t have to pay attention to this. It is almost equivalent to not giving money for nothing.

On the side of Xiaomo, with ingenuity and skill, on the cloud road, he began to weave a pair of sneaky clouds, snow white and luster, and his rank is not low at first glance.

Above the sea of ​​clouds, Chen Ping'an asked casually: "Xiao Mo, when do you think the Wei and Jin Dynasties can enter the ascension realm."

Xiao Mo thought for a while, "Wei Dajianxian's aptitude is still quite good, and he has got that chance again. If he doesn't fight, he doesn't strengthen his mind in the arena of life and death, and he doesn't fight for a few games with those with higher sword skills. Only after four or five hundred years of water milling time can we see the bottleneck of the earth fairy..."

Having said that, Xiao Mo hurriedly changed his words: "This time is different from the past, so I have to call it a fairyland."

Chen Ping'an asked, "Are all the earth immortals in ancient times so powerful?"

Xiao Mo smiled and said: "In fact, it is not too strong, but it is definitely not weak. It is extremely difficult for the earth immortal to ascend to the sky. It is only the first pass, which is equivalent to the sword cultivation sword at the peak of the fairyland today. After that, there were two more passes waiting. According to legend, one of them involved the Taoist's xinxing, which seemed rather illusory. Therefore, even if there were those two ascending platforms, most of the earth immortals did not dare to go up, as if they were seeking their own death. , If you wait until the immortal gods in the world decay, just to continue their lives, and then risk a fight, they will die, so there is a helpless paradox in the middle, which will eventually make the men and women of the earth immortal at that time, The number of successful climbs is extremely limited."

"When Xiao Mo was boring when he didn't practice swordsmanship, he would sit near the ascending platform and watch others ascend to the sky. Many times, he never saw anyone walked to the highest heaven gate with his own eyes. Without exception, he fell in the middle. Now, those Taoists’ skins and souls are like...flowers blooming, they practice hard, and in the end they just add a majestic rain to the world. Anyway, I think it’s a pity."

"If Wei Jinsheng were in that year, it is estimated that he could successfully ascend to the top of the platform."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "It's not difficult to make a soaring realm just by relying on Wei Dajianxian's arrogance in buying wine."

Regarding the Wannian pine tree named "Changqing", Wei Jin, who was a monk with a single seedling on Shenxiantai, actually had a headache.

If it were not for the involvement of ancient pine and mountain roots, which would be extremely difficult to transplant, the Wei and Jin Dynasty would have allowed the Big Salamander Gou, Lvshuitan, or Wen Qingfeng to move away.

Otherwise, it will only make Fengxue Temple tired of dealing with those human relations, because there are too many dignitaries and dignitaries to 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 the mountain has not yet cut the red dragon. The female nuns, boil medicine with Wannian Song, are an excellent fairy medicine for one party.

However, when encountering the various forces who came to buy this thing, Fengxue Temple did not promise outsiders once, and it seemed extremely unkind in this matter.

Although the Wei Jin and the suzerain have said twice, when he is not practicing in the mountains, the Patriarch Hall can dispose of this "long love" casually.

In fact, the years of Wei and Jin’s practice in Fengxue Temple, after the first descent from the mountain, the number of days added together is only a handful, otherwise it would not even be in the closed life and death of the Yuan Ying realm, and Wei and Jin would not be in their own mountains. .

So Wei and Jin couldn't help but wonder if Fengxue Temple was unwilling to sell Wannian pine, deliberately using itself as a shield?

Last time I returned to Fengxue Temple, Wei Jin had the idea to accept a nominal disciple?

I don't get close to Fengxue Temple anymore, but the line of Shenxiantai is always passed on.

So before reuniting at the Great Wall of Sword Qi, the downfall Shan Keqing of Wei and Jin asked the mountain master to help pay attention to whether there is a suitable sword repair embryo.

The Wei and Jin dynasties had a little requirement. The aptitude for cultivation can be average, but the child must be born in Aquarius.

After all, he is the first disciple. As for the future disciples, the Wei and Jin Dynasty still had to choose them by themselves.

Therefore, in addition to letting Chen Ping’an help select the disciples, he also discussed with Chen Ping’an. If you have an idea about the ancient pine, you should go to Fengxue Temple to buy it yourself. Besides, he has already agreed to this matter in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, so as long as Feng Feng Xuemiao has no objection, and Luopo Mountain can afford the money, and the ancient pine can migrate to Luopo Mountain for a price.

However, Chen Ping’an did not have such an idea. Of course, it was not that he was not greedy and heartless, but the Fengxue Temple was very likely to wait for the success of the refining of the Wannian pine tree. The temple's guarding mountain is enshrined.

Especially when the old ape of Zhengyang Mountain died, Aquarius once again vacated an upper five spirit monster, and Fengxue Temple was even more unlikely to sell the hopeful Wannian Pine on that avenue.

Moreover, since Gu Song is called "Changqing", there must be some unknown origin.

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

On the Liquan ferry, Gan Yi did not look back for a long time.

Now Yizhou monks are all regretting something, 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 Jianqi to Aquarius.

Regardless of how the rest of the Seven Continents in the Haoran world look at these children from foreign land, only Aquarius Island and Beiju Luzhou, they can walk sideways.

The monks on the mountains on the two continents adjacent to the north and south are their protectors.

Gan Yi actually wanted to ask a question just now, whether there is a young sword repairer from the Great Wall of Jianqi on Chen Shanzhu's Luopo Mountain, practicing in the mountain.

It's just this kind of thing, she is not a sword repairer, naturally it is not suitable to ask.

Before moving, Gan Yi smiled, full of style.

Ha, Master Hermit has taken his own ferry.

You can show off with others when you look back.

Go drinking.

————

In the city of Dali, early in the morning, the preface of Hongxun Temple, Xunqu, once again came to the Renyun Yiyun Tower, and sent some newspapers from the six official offices of the imperial court to Mr. Chen.

After Chen Ping’an returned to the capital last night, he found that Ning Yao was still in the inn’s retreat. Chen Ping’an read the book for a night in the book building, while Xiao Mo hung up the innocence card, then used the blindfold method, and walked around casually. After returning to the alley in the brightly lit capital city, I stayed in the courtyard outside and knit a few Tsing Yi robes.

Worried about following the son to the side of Luopo Mountain, not enough preparations for the meeting ceremony.

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

Xun Qu discovered that today Mr. Chen had an extra young-looking entourage than last time. Xun Qu only knew that the other party was called Xiao Mo, who was worshipped by Luopo Mountain.

He is a very friendly and easy-going teacher on the mountain.

Chen Ping'an put the mansion in his sleeve, and according to the agreement, he and Xunqu would go to a famous tourist attraction in Beijing.

A group of people walked to the two sides of the street more than one mile long, rare books, calligraphy and painting of the past dynasties, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, rare antiques, everything.

It used to be an official kiln, which was used to make glazed tiles and blue gold bricks for Ouchi. Nowadays, two or three hundred-year-old shops abound on this street. This is a bit good. They all pay attention to repeat customers. No one wants to smash their own golden signs. Even if it is inevitable that some shops bully customers, they are fakes. There are very few fakes. In this place where the capital is elegantly visited, in the final analysis, there is no money in the pocket, and the pocket is not enough. When you come here, you can only stare at it and be destined to come empty-handed and return empty-handed.

Chen Pingan got the hint of Xun Xuban's eyes and bought the three favorite books, all of them paper like white jade, which can be regarded as rare books. Ordinary scholars are like seeing a beautiful woman on the road, and you really can only look at it, not touch it.

Chen Ping An finally gave Xun Qu six books. Three books are recorded on the account of Honghe Temple, about two hundred and eighty taels of silver.

The other three were Chen Ping’s own pockets and were given to this young official who was in the same year as Cao Qingqing.

On the way back to Renyun Yiyun Tower, Xunqu hesitated and hesitated, still asking in his heart: "Mr. Chen is not curious why I am a Taoist?"

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

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "We don't need to go into each other's fate."

The sea-viewing realm in his thirties is actually not low.

In the former Aquarius Island, the cultivators of the Middle Five Realms were all gods and great demons.

Chen Pingan suppressed a smile and asked, "Don't you know that Cao Sunny is a fellow like you?"

Xunqu was dull and speechless, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it."

Chen Ping'an said: "Also, if you meet again in the future, you can have an extra topic and talk about spiritual practice."

Xunqu couldn't help muttering in a low voice, "Good fellow, pretend to be poor with me!"

Seeing Mr. Chen's playful gaze, Xunqu was a little embarrassed, "Mr. Chen, unlike Cao Sunny, I am a really poor person who can't keep money when I was young."

Chen Ping'an quipped: "After all, you are mostly an official. The article hates your fate. You don't have money. It's okay if you don't have money. In the future, you will be a high official by the way. In the future, I will come to the capital and have an official backing."

Xun interesting dumb.

Unlike his friend Cao Sunny, who was in the same year of the imperial examination, although Xunqu was a second-class scholar, his ranking was very low, so he started low in the officialdom, otherwise he would not be thrown into the Xiaojiuqing yamen outside the six branches of Honghu Temple.

Xunqu really didn't think he could be a high official. And even if the official hat is bigger, does it work on Mr. Chen's side?

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

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Can you ask which expert it is?"

Xun Qu said: "The master is the priest of the Ministry of Rites offering sacrifices to the officials of the Qing dynasty."

Chen Ping'an was stunned immediately, that was the case.

Among the many official officials in the Dali officialdom, three positions are the most important, the official department of the test of merit, the department of military elections, and the department of rituals. Although they are only the official body of the fifth grade, they have great authority, especially The preacher of Xunqu, the mentor who paid homage to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, is also in charge of evaluating the merits and demerits of all the landscape gods in Dali, so he has the reputation of "little heaven official" on the mountain.

This old doctor who has been lying in this official position for many years seems to have an old friendship with Li Jin, the water **** of the Chongtan River.

The last time I showed up, I visited Red Candle Town in person to find the trouble of the Yuye River God Empress who caused the trouble.

It's just that this kind of official, like the superintendent Cao Gengxin in his hometown, is not suitable for proactive friendship.

In Chen Ping'an's view, what a person calls "clearly reasoning" is nothing more than "knowing and stopping."

It lies in knowing what, but also in not doing.

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

Throughout the journey, Xunqu always remembered the words of Hongxu Temple and asked the same question twice.

Cui Yang, the master of the country, seemed to be not very concerned about the staff of the old man Guan, as well as the ritual department. As for the deserted yamen like Honghu Temple, they are even more faceless.

However, the National Normal University has always been extremely concerned about the Armory Department of the Ministry of War, as well as the departments of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry.

Therefore, Arsenal Mukosi is said to be the most likely to lose office, or even lose his head.

In addition, it is said that even small officials such as the heads of households and labor ministries will personally review their resumes. If the Zhima official is like this, let alone the promotion and expatriation of the two divisions.

Xun Qu is not sure about one thing now, because of his master's relationship with the officialdom of Hongshe Temple, has he already fallen into the eyes of the national teacher?

Chen Ping’an returned the wooden box containing the flying sword to Xun Qu, and said with a smile: “The diaries which I borrowed twice with Hongxu Temple, before I leave the capital, will give it to Liu La who guards the alley. Ban just asks him directly."

Xun's interesting work is thankful.

Because I know that Mr. Chen is here to help himself in the capital, without showing the mountains and water, creating an extra road.

A monk who was responsible for guarding the mansion of the national teacher seemed to be unimportant if Xunqu knew whether he knew him or not. But it's actually very important.

Xiao Mo is the one who bought the most books today.

He went to the Xianjia Inn recommended by the son last night. Just like the ferry on the mountain, there will be a place similar to a pawnshop, which is convenient for the trainer who stays in the inn to convert the fairy money.

Xiao Mo gave his son three small summer coins, which were converted into snowflake money and a large stack of silver bills, as well as some gold leaves and silver ingots necessary to walk the rivers and lakes.

Especially Xiao Mo specifically asked the inn to help give himself a large bag of golden melon seeds.

Because I arrived at Luopo Mountain, this thing was reused.

At first, the woman who claimed to be the treasurer of the inn was not reluctant, because the fancy stuff like golden melon seeds is really not common. Most of them are gifts given to the younger generation by the parents of wealthy people. Not to mention the monks on the mountains, they are the people of the rivers and lakes , Away from home, who needs this stuff. Just waiting for the young monk named Xiao Mo to say that she was an entourage of Lord Chen Shan. Without a word, Gaiyan melted a dozen gold ingots and squeezed out a bag of gold melon seeds with her own hands. In the end, she refused to live or die. Collect money.

Today, in addition to the classics of Zhuzi Baijia, Xiao Mo also bought a lot of miscellaneous books.

Everyone’s poems, literati’s notes, ghosts, and even some transcripts of official articles compiled into books, and some art-making books that are said to be "martial arts secrets" on the academic stage.

Chen Ping'an quipped: "Why, do you still want to be an official through the imperial examination? Then some are busy. The county examination and the government examination first become a talented student, and then the Qiuwei township examination is held every three years. Jingcheng Chunwei will test, become a Jinshi, and finally have the palace test. It is step by step, and there are many gates, just like a carp jumping into a dragon gate."

"However, if you really have this idea, it is also a good thing. It can be taught by Cao Sunny to teach you. It is more reliable than buying these so-called secrets for craftsmanship and policy theory."

"It's just the Jinshi of the Dali court. It is indeed the most difficult to get. It is not one of them. It can be said that it is the most golden Jinshi and the highest in the entire Haoran Jiuzhou. Once there are too many people, the seeds of reading from the vassal countries will gather here. In addition, there are too many questions on the Ministry of Rites, and there is no fixed number of paths. On the contrary, the small countries south of Aquarius Island have issued some official books. There are many rules and regulations. There must be more than a dozen books. It's a shortcut, and it's useful if you learn it by heart. Of course, this move was criticized by some well-learned Confucian scholars, and it was filled with righteous indignation. There is a saying that the official comprehended the book and said it was dead."

"So Xiaomo, if you really want to be a champion, you can go to accompany a country south of the capital and stay for a little ten years. There, the family members will open the Mongolian education name, that is, practice calligraphy. After that, go to the school and get in touch with the Mongolian learning books. Endorsement of Chinese characters, rich people go to their private school, and children who don’t have money go to the village school. As long as the family is not too poor, they are generally affordable. After all, there is a place to read and read, and then they start studying classics. ."

Xiao Mo kept listening to the son's whisper.

Chen Ping'an found that Xiao Mo's curious eyes seemed to wonder why he was so concerned about this matter.

Chen Ping’an nodded and smiled: “That’s right, I did think about taking part in the imperial examination. When I went out for a long trip for the second time, in my spare time practicing boxing, I really read through a lot of related books. When you get the status of a child, you will be satisfied with the goal of becoming a master of Juren. It’s the silver jinshi and Jin Juren.”

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

Xiao Mo sighed.

It wasn't that he really had any thoughts about the fame of the imperial examination, but Xiao Mo couldn't imagine that the books and knowledge of the world today are so cheap that they are simply worthless.

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

So Xiao Mo had an idea, and when he arrived at Luopo Mountain, he decided to build a book building by himself, named Wanjuan Building.

Of course, it is best to let the son to help choose a good name.

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

Without thinking about it, Chen Pingan blurted out, "You can call Liangwangranlou."

Xiao Mo briefly checked the hundreds of famous poetry collections in Xinhu Lake, and suddenly realized: "Wonderful!"

As Jian Xiu, Ya Hao collects books.

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

The book and the sword are at a loss. Two dazed floors!

Chen Ping'an casually said, "Of course you can use this name or not, you can figure it out."

Xiao Mo said cheerfully: "My son, the name of this bookstore is so good that Xiao Mo is reluctant to make it public."

As a result, the son squinted his eyes.

Xiao Mo immediately said with interest: "Then use it, it's not as good as the others."

In the night, the restaurants on both sides of the Changpu River stretched all the way up and down.

Lanterns and festoons, lively and noisy, one after another, wine orders, box-guessing sounds like breaking windows, and graceful singing followed.

According to legend, some people like to drink and don't need money. From evening to early morning, in a place like Changpu River, you can drink four or five drinks with just a little step.

Today, a child of the Guan family in Yizhou who rarely comes here to drink, it is rare to save a very private wine bureau.

After pulling Jing Kuan, who is both a colleague and not a friend, after leaving the Yamen, the two went straight to the Changpu River.

Guan Yiran and Jing Kuan, the origins of the two are completely different, which can be regarded as the difference between them, but now the official positions are the same.

Although Guan Yiran has enough military exploits and an excellent official resume, he is an unsuspecting waiter candidate, but no matter what, Jing Kuan, who is born in the cold clan, can serve as a Qing official in his early thirties and a few years old. He became one of the chief officials of the Eighteenth Division of the Qing Department of the Household Department. This shows how broad the promotion of Dali’s officialdom is.

Someone in front touched his head and raised his head to curse. It turned out to be a bite of flying phlegm from the sky.

Jing Kuan whispered: "Yiran, I'm a little nervous. Seeing that Chen Jianxian, what should I say so that I won't be cold?"

Because Guan Yiran left Beijing to join the army very early, he was actually as unfamiliar with this place as Jing Kuan, so he needed to ask people for directions. When he heard Jing Kuan's question, he just smiled and said nothing.

Jing Kuan continued: "What are the taboos? Tell me quickly, don't pretend to be deaf and dumb here."

Guan Yiran joked: "Tabs? Just one. By the time you can't drink enough, we Chen Jianxian didn't drink enough to enjoy ourselves. We lost our spirits and came back. We must bear your revenge when we look back."

Jing Kuan was still uneasy, "Is it a **** on the mountain, so young, so he doesn't have a temper? Waiting for me to make a fool of myself, are you looking a joke?"

Friends of friends are not as easy to get along with as expected.

Guan Yiran rolled his eyes and said: "My husband, you have no energy, you don’t come to officialdom. If a meal is served from beginning to end, with proper speech and dripping water, then what shall we do at the wine table. Today’s wine, It's different from the big and small wine bureaus you used to participate in. If you can't believe me, and you see Chen Jianxian later, you will say that you never drink and just watch."

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 a "small meat" flower wine with a group of colleagues in the household department of about the same age. Jing Kuan would straighten up. Pole, sit tightly, if there is a woman snuggling, it is like facing an enemy.

After that, the two met an acquaintance in a blue shirt, long coat and cloth shoes.

Standing at the door of a restaurant, it seemed to be waiting for them.

Jing Kuan recognized the other party at a glance. He was the former foreigner who was sitting with Guan Yiran and drinking tea inside the yamen of the household department.

What's more, it was not long after we met at the government office last time, and the other party was still someone who could joke with Guan Yiran casually.

Let Jing Kuan remember deeply.

It seems that this person has been mistaken for a shopkeeper who is soliciting business at the door, and a customer in front of him actually started asking him something.

The man was not annoyed, smiled and stretched out his hand towards the restaurant, Yomo was helping to show the way.

Guan Yiran quickly stepped forward and glanced at the restaurant's sign, "Tsk tsk, it's really good for picking the ground, there are more than a hundred restaurants, and this one has the best drinks!"

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "

The cost of a meal is not low. "

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

Chen Ping'an smiled and looked at the young and promising Hubu doctor. According to Guan Yiran, this person was also in charge of the fish scales at the north stall of the Hubu.

In fact, when we met last time, Chen Ping’an found that behind this young official, there were as many as six red lanterns hung by various gods and gods. On the lanterns, there were all the words secretly made by certain mansion and temple, so he would Let this adult doctor appear to be rich in cultural luck in the eyes of the hopeful man. At the same time, even if this person is alone in the mountains and rivers, walking in the mountains and old forests, he will avoid evil, ghostly and timid, and can make the landscape spirits take the initiative to detour.

Jing Kuan hurriedly said, "It's fine here."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "My doctor, are you sure you don't change the restaurant? Say it in advance. If my doctor is polite with me, I'll be really welcome."

Seeing that none of them moved, as if the man in the green shirt was waiting for him to change his mind, Jing Kuan had to lower his voice, and asked Guan Yi in confusion, "When will the Chen Jianxian arrive?"

Guan Yiran held back a smile and raised his finger to Chen Ping An, "Chen Cage, let's Master Jing ask you something, when will Chen Jianxian arrive? Don't blame me for not reminding you, but don't let us wait for a long time. One of the chief officials of the dignified Qingli Shisi, who is in charge of the money bags of the three states, is a little bit short. It is the governor of the border such as the governor of the county. He saw Master Jing in the household office, and he was a little shorter."

Among the six divisions of the Ministry of Households, the official Langguan is the most. Because he is in charge of the court's money bags, the official nickname is also the most. The Ministry of Households is the grandson's Yamen, so the Langzhong Office is the scolding office. What kind of saliva is there? .

As soon as Chen Pingan raised his foot, Guan Yiran jumped away and pointed at Chen Pingan. He laughed and said: "My doctor, you are far away from the horizon, and this Chen Clerk is the one you are going to drink tonight. Up."

Jing Kuan was stunned, wishing to dig a hole and drill down, so he had to pay a salute to the sword fairy and apologize at the same time, "Master Chen, I was in the yamen before, so I was offended."

Previously in Guan Yiran this **** house. The other party claimed to be the younger brother of Master Guan from the rivers and lakes. As soon as he arrived in the capital, he rushed over to worship the mountain...

It turns out that this Chen Jianxian speaks quite funny.

"I was so proud, I couldn't beat him, and I couldn't drink him?"

Wouldn't it be more fun to speak by yourself?

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Those who offend and don't have to be guilty will say nothing, and I will see you later on the drunk table."

The three of them crossed the threshold together and walked into the restaurant. Chen Jianxian personally led the way. When they climbed the stairs one after another, Jing Kuan secretly gave Guan Yiran a elbow, lowered his voice and laughed: "Guan Yiran, are you cheap?! "

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

When he arrived in a private room on the top floor, Chen Ping'an brought his own drink.

However, there is an unwritten rule in restaurants large and small 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 special rule set for those gods on the mountain. Anyway, there is no shortage of silver for banqueting friends here, and they are not gods' money.

The so-called "Vegetarian" before Guan Yiran is actually that in this restaurant, there is no young woman called "Jiu Ling" who helps the guests do the warm wine and pours, and there is no female musicians to add to the fun.

Therefore, the taste of drinks here is notoriously weak in Beijing.

After Guan Yiran took his seat, he smiled and said: "Chen Cage, I sent me an inkstone before. I heard that it came from a waterside pit, right?"

Before Chen Ping'an went to visit Guan Yiran and sent a copy of the inkstone to one party, Chen Ping'an bullied the other party for not understanding the inside story, saying that it was the old pit of the Yanshan Mountain in Yunku Fudi, and he casually named it a "water side pit".

Scam me? Chen Ping'an looked puzzled and said, "Otherwise?"

Guan Yiran sneered and said, "Don't talk about the old pits in that Yanshan Mountain, they are the new pits, they don't seem to have any water sides. Chen's accountant, gift giving is very knowledgeable."

"Why, it was Chen Jianxian who took a lavish deal and spent a high price with Yunku Fudi. He directly contracted a site on that Yanshan Mountain and named it'Shuipangkeng'. He intends to resell our Aquarius Island so that it is convenient to sit on the land and start the price? "

This party copied the inkstone, but Guan Yiran's generosity was actually passed on to the Master Shangshu who was signed by his government.

If it weren’t for Ma Shangshu’s two daughters, they would really follow their fathers too much.

What Master Shangshu, after seeing it, Guan Yiran must have called Master Yue Zhang directly now.

It's the granddaughter of the grandson of the grandson of Hongyou Temple, that's a handsome water spirit. Therefore, the young people in Yichi Lane and Chi'er Street, whoever are a little bit courageous and see an old Siqing with a very good temper on the road, like to cheekily call their father-in-law.

Guan Yiran wrapped his arms around his chest, "Chen Jianxian probably forgot about our household department and a fat inkstone service bureau?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "I just said it casually, you take it seriously, hurry up and punish yourself for a cup."

Guan Yiran tweeted: "I like to beat and rake, don't you?"

Plates of dishes are served on the table, and Guan Yiran is responsible for pouring the wine, mostly chatting.

Jing Kuan didn't talk much, but he didn't drink less wine.

Chen Ping’an suddenly said: “It’s actually a good suggestion. When I look back, I’ll discuss with Yunku Jiang to see if I can buy the hundred-year purchase of that inkstone mountain. Didn’t your household department happen to have an inkstone affairs department?”

"I advise you not to make this money. The problem lies here. The Yankstone Office is inevitable. There is a turtle grandson over there. He is very fierce to earn money."

Guan Yiran shook his head and said: "This Inkstone Affairs Department sounds like a clean water sect, but it is actually very oily. Anyway, Jing Langzhong and I are very jealous. If it weren't for the bastard, I would really like to find a way out. , Try to see if you can get a piece of the pie."

Jing Kuan smiled and said nothing.

Guan Yiran stepped on the chair with one foot, he was joking, and suddenly started cursing, "This kid, who is also called Longju, is a piglet! He is in charge of the purchase of inkstones from other places, and he stretched out his hand for a long time. I can’t support him. I usually speak with a big tone. I really feel that I’m the surname of the Shangzhu country. Lao Tzu is puzzled. Speaking of his dad, he is notoriously cautious and cautious. When he gets to this kid, he starts to lose his heart with lard, earning money, he is notoriously ruthless."

Jing Kuan smiled and said, "He is still very polite when he comes to your side."

On the capital side, no matter how good the atmosphere is, there will always be a few flies and shit. Don't do things idiomatically, don't pay attention to people.

To use the words of Guan Yiran and this group of people is shameless.

In Dali Capital City, the official elder son of Yichi Lane, and the seed brother of Chi’er Street, the first-class ones, like Guan Yiran, Cao Gengxin, and Yuan Zhengding, were thrown into the local government by the family, relying on their ancestors. Yin, started in officialdom, but can rely on his true ability to gain a firm foothold and advance step by step, with a bright future.

Otherwise, like Liu Xunmei, who joined the army early, fumbled and beaten in the forest of swords and the dead, counting his head on the belt of the trousers, relying on the solid military merits,

Like Guan Yiran, he joined the army, served as a monk with the army for many years, and then transferred to the Dadu Supervisor, which is even more heterogeneous. That's why there are so many old people in officialdom, and Guan Yiran only wears such a big official hat nowadays.

Second-class officials can also be officials, but they are not big officials, and most of them are officials in Beijing. Whether they rely on imperial examinations or family favors, they can stand firm in the yamen.

The third class is not doing business properly, but it is also considered to be safe and self-conscious, at least not to cause trouble to the family. The most inferior is proficient in all kinds of prostitution and gambling, as long as it can be related to the prodigal, it is absolutely unambiguous. I am idle, I like to be jealous with others, I don't have the ability to fart, and I am bigger than the sky.

Guan Yiran snorted, "That's being polite to my last name. You see, he was polite to you when he met you? Did he look at you with his straight eyes?"

Jing Kuan said, "It's okay."

Guan Yiran smiled and looked at Chen Ping’an, then raised his finger to Jing Kuan, “Look, listen, your words are not leaking, let’s understand, you’re young, he’s already an old oilman in the officialdom, if this guy is Without a bright future, there will be no reason."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "It doesn't matter how you speak. As long as there is no more alcohol left, the wine will be fine. As long as the wine is fine, the character will definitely be fine."

Guan Yiran took it seriously and said, "That's true."

So Jing Kuan had to drink again.

Guan Yiran sighed, letting you Jing Kuan also take a good look at Chen Clerk's skills in persuading wine.

His mother, it was on the side of Shujian Lake back then, it was really interlocking, and the person who was invited into the wine urn didn't know it.

Guan Yiran said abruptly, "Jing Kuan may be released."

Jing Kuan immediately shook his head and said, "If there is nothing left in the character, say what he did."

Guan Yiran rolled his eyes and said, "Fit your fart, carry it, and you kid will continue to carry it for me. It's all a certainty, and you haven't been with me here. In our yamen, you have to say On the official side, Guan Yiran has no acquaintances. Who dares to say that I have acquaintances?"

Jing Kuan was a little helpless.

Guan Yiran is really drinking too much.

Otherwise, this kind of statement is very inappropriate.

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

In the officialdom of Dali, who doesn't know "the official surname Guan".

Since all the officials have their surnames Guan, it is conceivable that there are so many protégés of the Guan family.

The key is that Emperor Xian and Dang today have nothing to say about it.

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

When Guan Yiran retired from the post of Dadu Supervisor and returned to the capital, he was unexpectedly not in the official or military department, but in the most unpleasant household department. This is in the officialdom, not to mention promotion, not even the level of promotion. It's a real relegation.

Chen Ping'an nodded, raised his wine glass, and said with a smile: "I wish the adult collaborator go out as an official for the benefit of one party and become a parent official who truly treats the people like a child."

Jing Kuan was originally worried that Guan Yiran would say more inside stories, but fortunately, he just clicked and stopped, and it seemed that he still didn't really drink high.

Not long ago, the left servant of the household department called Jing Kuan to ask questions and asked a lot of questions. Although there was no clear intention, Jing Kuan knew that he was very likely to leave Beijing to become an official.

And Master Shang Shu is also considered to be very important to himself.

But where he went, Jing Kuan just had a few guesses.

When Guan Yiran deliberately mentioned the matter on Chen Shanzhu’s side, Jing Kuan began to be somewhat certain. There are ten places where he will be released as an official and county guard.  Ding I stopped Huan, faded, and apologized for the arrogant field, 揋淦qiao rubber group, meal, animal husbandry, 茥荩? /

The time and place are favorable, and Jing Kuan has all of them before he leaves Beijing to serve as a magistrate.

Being an official in Longzhou is recognized as both a great risk and a great opportunity in the officialdom of Dayi. 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 almost an hour. In fact, afterwards, Chen Ping'an didn't try to persuade him to drink. Guan Yiran was fighting with Jing Kuan at the wine table.

After the two household officials walked out of the restaurant, they swayed and supported each other. They walked by the Changpu River, watching the back of the steadily steadily drifting green shirt, Jing Kuan was envious, worthy of the sword immortal, and the amount of alcohol was really good. .

As soon as the cool breeze blew, the alcohol gas dissipated a bit.

Jing Kuan whispered: "Thanks."

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

"The local government is no more official than when we are in Beijing. There are more yamen here, with strict rules and clear boundaries. Everyone who is an official knows about it. Just say that we are in Nanxunfang over there. What is a doctor? It's just outside, To do a lot of things, you have to rely on your conscience. It can be dispensable, you can do it or not, it can be clever or confused, you can nod or shake your head, you can know or not, you have to figure it out. "

"Jing Kuan, my grandfather once said that it is not easy to be an honest official with a clear conscience. It will only be more difficult to be an honest and good official. What is meant by being a good official is that you always feel uncomfortable in your heart."

The two of them walked to the arch bridge, Guan Yiran staggered, and quickly ran to the railing of the bridge, spitting wine against the Changpu River.

Jing Kuan, who had originally patted Guan Yi and then on his back, was estimated to be involved, but Jing Kuan suddenly overwhelmed the river, and followed Guan Yiran, lying on the railing together.

In the end, the two of them disagreed and stopped. They turned and sat on the ground with their backs against the railing of the arch bridge and smiled at each other.

Chen Pingan took a walk along a radiant river.

In today's wine bureau, Chen Ping'an did not bring Xiao Mo, but just let him stroll around Changpu River.

Xiao Mo had nothing to do, so he bought a few lotus lanterns at the roadside stall, put them in the river, and then moved slowly along with the lanterns.

After just taking a few steps here, Xiao Mo found that he could almost distinguish the natives from the capital city from the outsiders at a glance. The former has an unconcealed sturdiness. The younger the younger, the more obvious it is. Even outsiders are dressed in luxurious clothes. , There is still a bit of restraint in his expression.

Xiao Mo stood by the Changpu River, looking at the river.

Drain the water from the bamboo basket, and pick up the poems of Yin Yue from the ages.

The horseshoe shook the ground, splashing out a hundred-year-old frontier.

Xiao Mo was stunned, and he couldn't help but think of the accidental meeting ten thousand years ago.

That existence, with his hands sleeved, looking at the world, from the ascending platform that should have only been the earth fairy, "the great rebellion is not the way", and slowly descended alone.

The world.

This word, at that moment, is not a noun, just like a verb.

It may be that he saw Xiao Mo who was sitting not far from the ascending platform, and the existence looked at Xiao Mo, then smiled at the convenience and stretched out his sleeves...

At this time tonight, Chen Ping An was walking by the river and beckoned to Xiao Mo not far away.

Tonight’s drinks were not drunk for nothing. Guan Yiran is a man who obeys the rules for the officials, so the previous mention of the guy who was messing around in the Inkstone Services Department was not a careless remark at all. It was not a rush on the wine table. Instead, he was reminding Chen Ping An to say hello to his fellow Dong Shuijing, and to be more careful in dealing with him in the future, and he has been spotted by a handful of powerful children of the capital who are jealous of his business.

It’s not that the guy from the Inkstone Bureau of the Ministry of Households, who is not the surname of Shangzhuguo, can really hurt Dong Shuijing. In fact, the other party does not even have the qualifications to wrestle with Dong Bancheng, but many dudes in the capital also have their own hills. The head, likes to hug each other, and is in the same spirit. In the capital, you may be a tortoise one by one, but as long as you get out of the capital and get to the place, it doesn't matter whether it is in the mountains or in the official and business circles. Once Dong Shuijing was targeted by the partnership, it was a lot of trouble after all.

Of course, this is related to Dong Shuijing's closing the door to make money, which led to the fact that many of the official connections of Dali are always not visible and have a certain relationship, which makes people feel like a soft persimmon.

The world is so complicated, and whoever abides by the rules may not be able to keep others from committing a mess.

It's like walking alone by the Changpu River, and then a drunkard can't make way or hide.

Xiao Mo suppressed the extreme ups and downs in his heart, and said in his own voice: "My son, there is a sneaky guy who just secretly looked at my son twice."

"The other party is an immortal, just like Senior Lu, but he can fight more."

"I originally wanted to wait until three times to get him out. But the other party was very cautious, as if he was aware of my intentions in advance. The son was right, and sure enough, these fortune-tellers must be treated with a higher level."

Chen Ping An was a little surprised and a little helpless. After the fall, it would be difficult for him to take the lead.

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

It couldn't be Qi Zhen, the great heavenly monarch of Divine Sect. Xie Shi from Beiju Luzhou is even more impossible. Someone who just passed by Aquarius Island? Or the direct disciple of Lu Chen? This person cultivated in the mountains of the old Baishuang Dynasty for many years, and he was aliased as Cao Rong. The Taoist temple in the mountain that he left behind will be the next sect of Aquarius Island.

Cao Rong once shined in the battlefield of Old Dragon City.

A book of landscapes, flowers and birds in total was presented, forming a formation to protect the entire old dragon city.

The three masters of Bai Yujing each have a private seal, and the seals are printed on the four landscape painting albums. The "Taojing Master" of the master master is truly invincible. Yu Dou's Wen has no first, and Wu has no second. Master Lu Chen's "Stone to Today".

There is also Daxuan Duguan Sun Daochang's "See Peach Blossom Again".

In addition, the four seals on the four flower-and-bird scrolls at the back also have great backgrounds. They are Fu Lu Yuxuan's "Singing Blockbuster", Dragon Tiger Mountain Great Heavenly Master Zhao Tianlai's "Young Phoenix", and Huolong's real "chittering". .

And the "white eyes" of Cui Yang, the great teacher of the country.

A middle-aged Taoist appeared in front of Chen Ping'an and Xiao Mo. It was Cao Rong.

Cao Rong was very sincere and didn't use blinding methods.

Cao Rong hit a Daoist inspector and asked with a smile: "Dare to ask the hidden official, poor Dao Master, how good is it now? Have you returned to Bai Yujing?"

Chen Ping’an clasped his fists in return. “The juniors have met Cao Xianjun. If there is no accident, Master Lu has not returned to Qingming for the time being. He may have to take a trip to Guihua Island and Yunxia Mountain. Cao Xianjun can go to Yunxia Mountain to wait for Master Lu and meet him The opportunity is greater."

Cao Rong smiled bitterly: "If Master does not want to take the initiative to find me, you will definitely not be able to see Master's face."

Xiao Mo glanced at Cao Rong.

It seems that Lu Daoyou's ability to accept apprentices seems pretty good.

Gu Qingsong, who was named Xiancha, made his son very respectful.

In front of this, Taoism is not too low.

Cao Rongxiao asked, "Hidden officer, who is this expert?"

Xiao Mo gave the other party a Taoist inspector, "Daohao Xizhu. Cao Xianjun is like fellow Lu Daoyou, just call me Xiaomo."

Cao Rong's heart tightened, and he called the chief inspector, "I have seen Senior Xi Zhu."

The so-called Lu Daoyou of this person is naturally his own master.

The first time I used my palm to view the mountains and rivers, I didn't notice it and didn't feel anything unusual the first time. Chen Pingan obviously didn't know that he was spying from a distance.

The second time, in an instant, Cao Rong's heartstrings were tense, as if he was facing an enemy. It is still not from Chen Pingan, but from the subtle changes affected elsewhere in the Changpu River.

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

The "young" monk who was not in the slightest sense of superiority in front of him, not surprisingly, was an unknown ascension realm on the top of the mountain.

Could it be that the Zhongtu Confucian Temple secretly sent to Chen Pingan's protector?

Cao Rong showed up tonight to ask the master Lu Chen where he was going, and it didn't mean anything.

Therefore, I came and went in a hurry, and left with Chen Ping An and the "Senior Xizhu".

Xiao Mo suddenly laughed and said: "Cao Xianjun, let me say a word, friendship is friendship, and rules are rules. Similar things, don't take this as an example."

Cao Rong nodded gently.

When Cao Rongyuan went away, Xiao Mo asked, "My son, was it too insensitive to what I said just now? There is also the suspicion of relying on the old and selling the old?"

Chen Ping'an shook his head and smiled: "No, he is very immortal, and he has great demeanor."

Tonight's fairy Cao Rong.

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

There are more and more strange people and strangers on these mountains.

Chen Ping'an lost his drunkenness and patted his sleeves.

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

Chen Ping'an nodded, decisively saying: "Of course!"
