Sword comes

Chapter 906

Before going up the mountain, Yao Xianzhi wanted to put the fox fur on his grandfather, but Chen Ping shook his head with a smile, expressing that there was no need for such trouble.Afterwards, Yao Xianzhi discovered that at this time of melting snow, the snow was covered with snow, covered with silver, and the mountains were frozen without clouds, but the mountain wind was warm, making people not feel the slightest chill, and the snow on the mountain road under their feet had already melted by itself , like a mountain god

Invisibly clearing the way for the three people to "clean the street".

The old man was very interested, and said with a smile: "Go to the mountain."

During his whole life as a soldier, at the border of Daquan, except for a few occasions when he went to Beijing to meet the emperor, he hardly moved his nest.

Back then, young scouts at the border, chasing enemies on light cavalry, snow covered with bows and knives.Whenever the river freezes, horseshoes step on it, and there is a sound of broken jade.

Yao Xianzhi reminded in a low voice: "Mr. Chen, we only have to walk a section of the mountain road, and we can't let Grandpa's temper go all the way to Qingping Peak."

As His Majesty told him and Yao Lingzhi in private, grandpa is just an old boy now.

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll check it out."

It was rare for the old man to say anything stubborn, but he climbed the mountain slowly, and asked casually, "Ping An, do you think ordinary masters climb high mountains, is it similar to your immortal master Yufeng, who always hold them high to see how round the place is?"

Chen Pingan said: "It's basically the same in essence, but it is rumored that some mountaintop monks in Qingming Tianxia are very leisurely and leisurely, and they will meet in the high cold, drink and help Beidou. Too much."

The old man asked with a smile: "What about you kid, will you do something like this in the future?"

Chen Ping said with a smile: "As long as the level is high enough, I want to take a look."

Yao Xianzhi remembered the dragging moon in the mansion newspaper, and asked curiously: "Is the bright moon in the barren world very big?" There are also mountains, but it’s a pity that it’s dry and lifeless, with no water and no vegetation, which is very different from the descriptions in ghost novels. However, according to the secret records of the Zhongtu Confucian Temple and the Summer Palace, these hanging moons were actually quite different ten thousand years ago. In order to be lively, there will even be ordinary masters living in it, no different from the market at the foot of the mountain today. They are collectively called Yuehu, which is a household registration. Responsible for building the palace

The skilled craftsmen of the hall are known as "heavenly craftsmen". "

Yao Xianzhi was speechless.

Chen Ping smiled and said: "By the way, I have an ancient moon palace in my hand now, and I haven't given it away yet. If Grandpa Yao is interested, we can visit it later."

The old man shook his head: "It's such a huge palace, it's so vast, there are no people, it's meaningless, it's no different from the mirage city where we visit the curfew at night."

Yao Xianzhi was very interested, and felt a little regretful when he heard what his grandfather said.

Chen Ping glanced at Mr. Fu Yin, are you stupid? Grandpa Yao is fighting with us here, so you don't know how to help build a ladder?

Mr. Chen's eyes hinted that Yao Xianzhi had experienced in the officialdom for many years, and he knew it all at once.

The old man asked suddenly: "I heard that the head of the Dafu Academy, Cheng Shan, is from Huang Tingguo, Aquarius Island, and also served as the deputy head of the Linlu Academy in Piyun Mountain near Luopo Mountain, and served as the main lecturer of the academy?" Chen Pingan nodded. Said: "We are old acquaintances with Cheng Shanzhang. When we were young, we traveled to Dasui Shanya Academy together. On the way, we passed through the mountains of Huangting Kingdom. By chance, we passed by Cheng Shanzhang's mountain forest. We received a great hospitality, a table of wild game ,

Seasonal vegetables, so far, I still feel a little greedy. "

In addition to Dafu Academy in the middle of Yizhou, there are also Tianmu Academy in the north of Tongyezhou, and Wuxi Academy in the south. The two candidates for mountain masters are from Lisheng and Yasheng respectively.

In addition, there are two deputy mountain chiefs each. It is said that the four are extremely young and promising gentlemen, and they have all been in the battlefield.Yao Zhen seemed to say casually: "Although I don't know the rules on the mountain, there are some truths, which must be related. For example, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. If I remember correctly, the closest to Xiandu Mountain is the old Dayuan Yuan. The family dynasty, the ruling and opposition parties, can be described as the heroes of the whole country. When I came here, I was idle and I was idle. I heard Yao Xianzhi chat a few words, saying that the Dayuan Dynasty is now divided into three, each proclaiming the emperor, and it’s all a mess. , so that there are many ghost towns in the territory, and there has not been a good

result. "

Yao Xianzhi felt very helpless, it wasn't something I was just talking about casually, it was clearly Grandpa, you took the initiative to ask for a lot of information around Xiandu Mountain.Chen Pingan immediately understood, and said: "Don't worry, Grandpa Yao, we won't sweep the snow in front of each other, and we at Xiandu Mountain will not turn a blind eye to this. After all, in the final analysis, if you do thousands of things, you should still be a person, and the same goes for cultivating in the mountains. My student Cui Dongshan, who is also the first suzerain of the next sect, has secretly visited all those ghost cities and set up formations, which can gather the clear energy between the heaven and the earth, and help the ghosts in the major cities maintain a little real spirit, so as not to Become a ghost, just wait for the old

The Dayuan Dynasty was unified, and the new emperor granted Zhengwen Wu Yingling, and those temporarily abandoned town god temples, large and small, could fill in the vacancies immediately. If it weren't for this, how dare you invite Grandpa Yao to Xiandu Mountain as a guest, isn't it? "

Yao Xianzhi leaned back and quietly extended his thumb to Mr. Chen.

This flattering skill and the ability to give high hats are really perfect. If Mr. Chen is willing to mix in the officialdom, will he be able to pay it off?

After walking about three or four miles on the mountain road, there was a resting pavilion by the side of the road. The old general stopped here and looked at the snowy scenery outside the mountain. It was clean and spotless.

The old man expressed his feelings and couldn't help telling Chen Pingan some stories about his old friends at the border.

In fact, Yao Xianzhi had listened to it countless times, but he just continued to listen without interrupting.

When old people get old, they will talk over and over again. Young people before the age of 30 are often bored by listening to it, and the old man will fall into silence when they say "I have said it".

It's just that when the young people themselves become middle-aged, especially when they have wives and children, their patience tends to get better and better when faced with the nagging of their own elders.

When Grandpa stopped talking, Yao Xianzhi's eyes hinted at Mr. Chen.

Chen Pingan reached out and grabbed the arms of the old general and Yao Xianzhi, jokingly said, "Try the taste of Yufeng."

In an instant, the three of them reached the top of Qingping Peak.

Nephew Zheng Yougan and Tan Yingzhou from Tieshu Mountain are busy making snowmen over there.

The little girl actually built a big snowman more than ten feet high, in the shape of a golden rooster, holding a bamboo sword.

Right now Tan Yingzhou is complacent, but as for the snowman that Zheng Yougan made, she can't bear to look straight at it because it's chubby.

Seeing Mr. Yinguan who suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain, Tan Yingzhou immediately put on a straight face.

Chen Ping greeted the two with a smile, and introduced the old man and Yao Xianzhi to them.

Zheng Yougan saluted, "Little Martial Uncle! I have seen Old General Yao and Mr. Fu Yin."

Tan Yingzhou just smiled shyly at the two strangers, and bestowed a blessing on Lord Yin Guan, but changed his address, "Chen Shanzhu!"

Very ladylike.

Chen Pingan introduced to the old man with a smile: "Ying Zhou is a senior disciple of the Longmen Immortal of Tieshu Mountain in Zhongtu, and he is also a direct disciple of my Senior Brother Jun Qian."

Let the two juniors continue to build snowmen, and Chen Pingan took the old man to visit Qingping Peak.

The old general bent down and grabbed a snowball, kept compacting it in his hands, and suddenly asked: "In the future, Xiandu Mountain will inevitably have contacts with the academy. Are you familiar with Tianmu Academy and Wuxi Academy?"

Chen Pingan said: "I am very unfamiliar with the two mountain chiefs, but I have contacted one of the academy's deputy mountain chiefs at the Jianqi Great Wall. He is a gentleman. When the celebration is over, I will go to Wuxi Academy to visit each other .”

Chen Ping's so-called "gentleman", of course, does not mean the other party's title of gentleman, but the other party's character.

A gentleman is king.

Wang Zai's Confucian culture and orthodoxy belonged to the Liji Academy of Lisage, and his teacher was the Dajijiu of today's Riji Academy.Back then at the Great Wall of Sword Qi, he and Chen Pingan were open and honest, saying that his husband and Mr. Mao were close friends, and the two had traveled together to study together. Therefore, when the lineage of Wensheng was almost cut off, he always hoped that Mao Xiaodong would switch to the lineage of Lisheng. since

Of course, it is not to poach the wall, but to hope that Mao Xiaodong can find an opportunity to revive the lineage of Wensheng.

In addition, Wang Zai was actually born in a family of sages, and the patriarch of the family was the previous Confucian sage of the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

Before leaving office, the sage who accompanied the sacrificial sage had a Taoist contest with the former hermit official Xiao Yun in private, and of course he lost.At that time, a Confucian gentleman and sage like Wang Zai could not do many things in the Great Wall of Sword Qi. One was to serve as a battlefield recorder, similar to a swordsman in the army, and the other was to participate in the espionage affairs of the summer palace, but it was similar to the court speech of Haoran Tianxia. official,

There is no real power, which is really normal. At that time, the lord Yin Guan was still Xiao Yu, and the abbot was the female sword fairy Luoshan and Zhu'an Sword Fairy. In the end, they all defected to the wilderness with Xiao Yun .

At that time, Wang Zai had been in the Sword Qi Great Wall for ten years, and he had almost no reputation.

The old general said: "Acquaintance has its advantages, and familiarity also has its difficulties. Generally speaking, dealing with scholars is very troublesome. Gentleman Confucianism, petty Confucianism, and pedantic Confucianism, each has its own temperament."

Chen Pingan hummed and laughed, "But Wang Zai is a gentleman, but he is not pedantic. He is extremely flexible in doing things, and he is very knowledgeable in dealing with people."

The old man smiled and said, "The evaluation is so high? No wonder he can serve as the deputy head of the academy."

Now Wang Zai happens to be the vice head of Wuxi Academy.Originally, Wang Zai, an upright gentleman who had practiced in the Great Wall of Sword Qi for many years and killed a lot of monsters on the battlefield, according to the established agenda of the Confucian Temple, whether he would come to Wuxi Academy in Tongyezhou or Guanhu Academy in Aquarius Island. But for now, it all depends on Wang Zai's own opinion.The Confucian Temple itself tends to let Wang Zai come to Tongye Island, but at the Gongde Forest, Chen Pingan heard from his husband that Wang Zai's earliest idea was to go to Aquarius Island to serve as the deputy head of the academy, even if he didn't want the deputy head. no title

question.

So Chen Pingan found Senior Brother Mao, who was already serving as the Secretary of the Academy, in private at the Gongde Forest, and helped him introduce him, and then found the Liji Xuegong Grand Priest.

It could be seen that Liu Daji was not in a relaxed mood when he came to offer the wine. He was probably worried that Chen Pingan, the youngest hidden official in the history of the Sword Qi Great Wall, would open his mouth like a lion and make excessive demands.When he heard that he wanted to see if he could persuade Wang Zai to go to Tongyezhou Academy, Liu Jijiu was obviously relieved.Because he, who is Mr. Wang Zai, knows best. The reason why Wang Zai wants to go to Guanhu Academy is to rush to the young hermit in front of him.

To go.

The lineage of Wensheng, from the old scholar who was a gentleman, to the few direct disciples in the past, plus the "comment" of the young hermit on the side of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, Liu Jijiu couldn't help but worry.

Don't look at the stewards of the cross-continental ferry who have been to Chunfanzhai in the inverted mountain now, all of them have their eyes higher than the top. In fact, when they confronted a row of sword immortals back then, they all huddled on the chairs like chickens waiting to be slaughtered. I dare not breathe.

In fact, the Confucian Temple spy information is clearly recorded.

The big sacrificial wine finally smiled and said: "Just be a hermit and owe me a favor?"

Mao Xiaodong immediately became unhappy, did he get the wool on my little junior brother?Old Liu, are you talking drunk without drinking?

Bullying our little brother is easy to talk about, right?

The great sacrificial wine had no choice but to give up, "Just kidding, don't take it seriously."

Among the monks in the world, sword cultivators are the most difficult to restrain. Schools and academies can easily encounter such thorns. For example, old sword immortals like Zhou Shenzhi in the early years, plus Liuxiazhou Puhe and others, there are many academies everywhere. Headache.

How many sword cultivators in the upper five realms are there in the world, are they good friends?

It's not that the academy can't manage it. It's not difficult to follow the rules. It's just that I'm afraid of encountering some ambiguous troubles. The public says that the public is right and the woman is right, and it is the most exhausting to deal with.

If there is a young hermit official from the Great Wall of Sword Qi who helps mediate and mediate for the academy or academy, it may have a miraculous effect at some point.

However, Chen Pingan still bowed to express his thanks, and then agreed with all his mouth, but he only promised that he was willing to mediate the conflict, but he absolutely did not guarantee that a certain sword cultivator would listen to him.

In this way, Liu Jijiu felt the best.

The old man patted the arm of the green shirt beside him, and said softly: "Ping An, don't let nostalgia make you not know how to deal with the Daquan Dynasty in the future, or just do what you want."

Chen Pingan nodded and agreed, "Yes."

In the evening, the sun sets.

On the peak of Qingping Peak, the future Qingping Sword Sect, the old general stood on the edge of the cliff and patted the railing.

Glancing at the two juniors around him, the old man was actually very satisfied, as if in a trance, he remembered the young man in white with a sword on his back that he saw for the first time. At that time, Xianzhi was even more of a young man.

Riding on the country road, a romantic young man.Where does the white hair go? There are thousands of peaks in the setting sun.

----

The old Longzhou was officially renamed as Chuzhou, Huaihuang County.

Li Huai returned to his hometown, accompanied by a personal squire who never left, who looked like an old man in yellow.

It was the wild peach pavilion from Shiwan Dashan, and now it was Taoist Haorannen who became famous in the battle of Yuanyangzhu.Nen Taoist got off the ferry at Niujiaodu and looked around, "Young master, your hometown is really a treasure land of geomantic omen. It really is a place where people are nurtured by one side of water and soil, and you are the best among them. Just say that Huaihuang County is a good name, Huaihuang County. When the flowers are yellow, people

I am busy. "

Interesting, very chewy.

In the past, a small Lizhu cave took root in the sky, descended from the cave to a blessed land, and the younger generation in the town seemed to have ushered in a silent big exam.

Parents, sister and brother-in-law returned to Luzhou, Beiju, but mother was still worried about the shop at the foot of Lion Peak.

Accompanying his young master to the small town, Nen Taoist glanced at the distance, hey, Nen Taoist waved and shouted: "This one... Bah, this little brother, come and talk."

The guardian on the left in the Dragon Riding Alley, hesitated for a moment, raised his head and glanced at Li Huai, then at the old man in yellow, after weighing the pros and cons, he still trotted over with his tail between his legs.

Nen Taoist bowed his head and asked with a pleasant face: "Since the little brother has already succeeded in refining his form, why is he still so... restrained?"

The yellow dog drooped its head.

It's hard to say.It's hard to say.

So what if the refining is successful?What is a fairy day?It was the days when Pei Qian was not in Qilongxiang and Luobashan!Where does it want to be the left protector of Qilong Lane? It was the title that that little Heitan abruptly threw to him back then. The bleakest years were the days when that little Heitan went to school, every time the school ended , passing by the roadside latrine, a small

Heitan always had strange eyes, a playful smile, and asked him if he was hungry.

Li Huai knelt down and rubbed the yellow dog's head.

It could be seen that the left protector of Qilong Lane seemed to be nervous, so Li Huai didn't let Taoist Nen pull this fellow Taoist to greet him politely.

An old school, Li Huai went to the door of the yamen to find an acquaintance to ask for a relationship, so he asked for a key.

This school, which was once used by young children, still belongs to the Huaihuang County Government in name.

The last time Li Huai discussed something with Chen Pingan at Yuanyangzhu near the Zhongtu Confucian Temple. After learning that Chen Pingan did have the idea of ​​being a teacher, but he didn't become a teacher in his hometown, Li Huai asked why It's justifiable not to ask for this place with the Dali court, but it's not too much.

Each opened its own school.

Chen Pingan's answer made Li Huai a little sad.

In the old houses in the small town today, there are not many local people left.On the night of the New Year's Eve, how many other families will visit each other to dream of supper?It is no exaggeration to say that the people in my hometown have gone out of ten, and almost all of them have moved to the state city. After selling their ancestral houses at a high price, or even a sky-high price, they all became rich in the Longzhou government. In the past, apart from Fulu Street and Taoye Lane,

Except for the master craftsmen of the Long Kiln, it is difficult for ordinary people to see a few pieces of silver. In the years of prosperity that they could not even dream of, every household had a hard time seeing a copper coin. Who still has copper coins in their pockets?It's just that nearly 30 years have passed, and there are very few people who really keep the family business. The money comes and goes like flowing water, and half of it is returned to the gambling tables, brothels, and wine bureaus. People even failed to defend the new house on the other side of Zhoucheng.Otherwise, the heart is higher than the sky, drank a few drinks, got to know some so-called rich families and the children of officials, casually partnered with others to do business, and wanted to earn any money.

Earn, but he was born in a small town, how can he be as smart as those people, he came and went, only heard a few noises, and was in vain.

The sun at the end of winter, basking in the body, makes people feel warm.

There is an old saying in the town, if it is converted into Dali official dialect, it means about the sun cave, or the sun nest.

Li Huai stopped after walking past Crab Square and Iron Lock Well. There used to be a fortune-telling stall here.When I was young, I once went shopping with my elder sister Li Liu. When Li Liu was bargaining in the shop, Li Huai got impatient and ran out of the shop alone. I asked for a lottery here, mainly to ask for next year’s schoolwork. keep it simple

Don’t be so forgetful of books anymore, it’s okay to bear the board, but I’m often made fun of by that shofar braid in Qilong Lane, which makes me uncomfortable.Who is not a big man who wants face?

Anyway, Li Huai was shaking around at that time, and a bamboo stick fell out of the stick. The young Taoist was startled and said that it was a good stick.

Li Huai was young at the time and couldn't understand the content of the signature, and couldn't remember it. Li Huai only listened to the young Taoist priest and swore that this was one of the three best signatures, and he didn't need to charge money.

Because he was worried that the Taoist priest would go back on his word and wanted to ask for copper coins from himself, Li Huai ran away when he got a bargain, and went to find his sister. If he really wanted money, he asked my sister for it.

Fortunately, the young Taoist priest just sat behind the booth with his arms covered, smiling like a cheap brother-in-law who has never been educated.

When I went home and said, my mother was so happy. A dinner, big fish and meat, is almost the same as Chinese New Year.

It really is a good sign.

A few days later, because he wanted to eat chicken legs again, Li Huai sneaked to the fortune-telling stall again, pretending that it was his first visit, and it turned out to be another good lottery. The young Taoist said it was one of the three good lottery one.

Li Huai went home again and told his mother that the oil and water were a little less than last time.

On the way home there, there was also a little sparrow that was only scurrying around Li Huai, and was almost picked up by the child by jumping up and down, and took it home with him.

The woman asked at the dinner table, does fortune-telling cost money?

Li Huai shook his head, where did I get the pocket money, I kept it all.

If Li Liu can't get married in the future, he probably has to rely on the piggy bank he picked up from the old porcelain mountain.

It's just that there is no need to say such things, Li Liu will never marry again, she will always be her own sister, and her mother is indeed too partial to her, no matter how young she is, Li Huai feels that this is not good.

The woman was a little skeptical, and turned to chat with her man. That young Taoist priest surnamed Lu must be a liar, right?

Li Er grinned, he couldn't cheat the money anyway, it doesn't matter whether he cheated or not.The woman rubbed the corners of her eyes and realized that the young priest who was said to like flirting and touching the hands of his daughter-in-law probably took a fancy to her own looks and planned to beat around the bush and play a long line to catch big fish.The woman is proud, but her mouth is not forgiving

Hey, he's such a pervert who doesn't learn well, since he can read some characters, why don't he go to Fulu Street to work as an accountant for a rich family.

Li Er just buried his head in his meal and didn't talk to him, and he still had the virtue of being unable to beat a fart with a few sticks.The woman doesn't have any wrong thoughts. No matter how useless her man is, marry a chicken as a chicken and marry a dog as a dog. If you can't hold on to this principle, your neighbors and aunts and aunts will poke your spine with gossip. She just I wonder if I can give it to my mother's family

A girl from , as a matchmaker.

Besides, Li Er is just disgusted by others for not being able to make money, she does not.The woman ran to the fortune-telling stall to have a look, and saw that he was young, thin-skinned and tender-skinned. Well, it didn’t matter at first glance. He didn’t have any tendons on his body, so he could really do farm work?The key is still poor, I heard that all year round, I can only borrow to live in Biandan Lane

Next to a happy event shop, it seems that Aunt Mao's bun shop is next door.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to set up a long-legged stand to make a living. Whose woman will marry him, and the days will be long, and it will be good?Forget it, let's not harm that girl of my natal family.

Li Huai took Taoist Nen to the easternmost part of the town, where there was a lone yellow mud house, which was Zheng Dafeng's residence.

In fact, Li Huai has been very close to Zheng Dafeng since he was a child. Zheng Dafeng often wandered around with children wearing crotch pants on his back.

When Zheng Dafeng was in his hometown, he was dawdling and muddling along. Anyway, he was sewing for another year. He had money to buy alcohol, but he didn’t have money to rub alcohol. A loafing libertine.

Now that Uncle Zheng is no longer at home, there is no shortage of Spring Festival couplets and couplets, and the cleaning is not like a place where no one has lived for many years.

Li Huai knew the reason, it must be that Uncle Zheng left the key for the warm tree steward in Luopo Mountain.

Thinking of the girl in the pink skirt, he thought of Chen Pingan, Li Huai laughed, put his hands on the back of his head, swayed, and on the way to find Dong Shuijing to eat a bowl of wontons, he said casually: "Why isn't the Great Sword Immortal, It's outrageous."

----

Dali Capital City, a small alley.

After Lin Shouyi returned home, he came to find his father.

Lin Shouyi came to the side room and stood at the door.

Father sat cross-legged on the kang, with a jug of wine, a wine bowl, and several dishes of side dishes on top of the table. He drank by himself without using chopsticks.

The man with slightly frosted temples squinted at the door, holding a wine bowl in one hand, and said indifferently, "What's the matter?"

Lin Shou nodded and said, "It's something!"

Looking at the man's posture, if the son is fine, he might as well not enter the house, and if it's fine, he can just stand at the door and finish talking before leaving.

If there were outsiders present and saw this scene, they would probably be able to stare and spin their eyes in the wine bowl.

After giving birth to such a "kilin" like Lin Shouyi, even if you are a high-ranking family with the surname of Shangzhu, don't you have to worship it properly?Lin Shouyi's father was the supervising government office in Lizhu Dongtian in the past. He was an extremely inconspicuous assistant official who was in charge of some subordinate officials. .Just the people of the small town back then

, old and young, have no concept of officialdom, and can't even tell the difference between officials and officials.In addition, the officials of the Supervision and Construction Office only deal with those dragon kilns and kiln workers' porcelain all year round, and have nothing to do with ordinary people.

However, the uncle Cui Chan once revealed the secret for Lin Shouyi, and his father asked the uncle to help him get his own name.

Can a subordinate official who supervises the construction of the government office ask Dali Guoshi to help name his son?

All fools know this kind of thing, absolutely unreasonable.

What's more, Lin Shouyi, who has been wise since he was a child, doesn't think his father is just a sesame official of the Supervision Department.

The man asked: "Should I run to the gate barefoot and welcome you all the way in?"

Lin Shouyi just stepped over the threshold and sat on the kang, but he didn't take off his boots, and sat cross-legged like his father.

I am worried that I will suffer a few more similar harsh words.

Lin Shouyi asked, "Did you participate in the matter of Chen Ping's father?" The man twitched the corner of his mouth, lifted the wine bowl and took a sip of wine, "The wings are hard, you deserve to be a fairy on the mountain, Flying around without touching the ground, the tone becomes louder, how do you say it, eating Xia and drinking dew? Or did you recognize the wild father outside and teach you how to do it?

The way of the Son of Man? "After the man left the Kiln Supervision and Construction Office, he left his hometown and worked in the Chejia Qingli Department of the Ministry of War in Dalijing City. He was not born in the imperial examination, so he is a dirty official, and he is not a native of the capital, and now he is getting older, so let alone a Lang official, it is difficult to remove the word "cong". It is barely in charge of a post office in Qingshui Yamen. This is because the leader is a child of an aristocratic family who is not in charge. Usually, when he sees a man, he will talk to an old Lin. The post offices of various states and counties were sent to Beijing. After being approved by Emperor Zhu, The Ministry of War must go through this inconspicuous place to seal the dispatch.

The government office, in addition to the residence newspapers distributed by the capital to the localities, is also under the jurisdiction of this place.Presumably, those colleagues in the government office couldn't imagine that Lin Zhengcheng, who was always boring all year round, would be the father of Lin Shouyi, who was famous in the two capitals.

Lin Shouyi had been afraid of this father since he was a child.

In fact, these years are not much better.

I have been away from home for many years, traveled far away to study, and practiced hard, as if to prove something to the man.

With or without your father, or with or without my family, Lin Shouyi can be very successful.

The mother is eccentric and dotes on the younger brother.Father is indifferent and doesn't care about everything.

It's just that it's better to have no smiling face on the side of his younger brother Lin Shouye than to be on Lin Shouyi's side who either doesn't speak or speaks harsh words when he speaks.

Therefore, Lin Shouyi's entire childhood, until he traveled far away from home, was worthy of the name that his father did not love his mother or his mother.

Once broke the boy's heart.

So much so that Lin Shouyi, a taciturn and handsome young man who studied together in the Sui Dynasty, confided his heart to Chen Pingan for the first time, and there was such a sentence, "Not all parents in the world are like your parents."

But today's Lin Shouyi seems to be different.Lin Shouyi said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for me, Chen Pingan would never have deliberately detoured and bypassed our Lin family when looking for the truth about the natal porcelain fragments. Even the last time Chen Pingan was in the capital, it was still pretend not to know anything

.Dad, you have to give me an explanation today, because I also have to give my friend an explanation! "

The man glanced at the son.

Lin Shouyi's expression was calm, his eyes were firm, and he just looked straight at his father.

It was an unprecedented thing.

The man was not annoyed, and nodded, "Finally I'm a little bit of a man, otherwise I always thought I had a daughter and worried about the dowry."

Lin Shouyi was at a loss.

Could this be considered a compliment?

The man lifted his chin.

Lin Shouyi was puzzled.

The man asked: "Don't you know how to drink? You are still a monk in the Nascent Soul Realm, and now you don't have a square inch of things on your body, such as jugs and glasses?"

Lin Shouyi was a little embarrassed, "I have never had anything close to me."

The man didn't move at all, but asked: "Then, as a son, do you want to help your father get the wine glass or the wine bowl? Please send a message, so that I won't get it wrong when the time comes, and the father will not be happy."

Lin Shouyi took a deep breath, got up silently, hurriedly walked, and left the room to get a wine bowl elsewhere.

This man either doesn't speak, or likes to poke his heart when he speaks, which has always been the case.

There are a few maids in the house, but they are all big and round, and they are all ordered by their mothers. On the father's side, he has always done big and small things by himself, and never let the maids serve.

After Lin Shouyi returned to the house, he poured himself a bowl of wine, but he didn't dare to fill it up. He kept silent, held the bowl in both hands, and drank it all in one gulp.The man lifted the wine bowl, just took a sip of the wine, twisted a salted peanut, twisted it lightly, threw it into his mouth and chewed, and said slowly: "If you and Chen Pingan are friends, then I and Chen Pingan are friends." Ping An's father is also considered a friend, um, no

Whatever counts, that's it. "

Lin Shou nodded.

Chen Ping'an's father was a kiln worker of a dragon kiln. He was very skilled, kind and honest.And Lin Shouyi's father was in charge of the specific kiln supervisor, in charge of the firing results, and appraised the appearance of the porcelain inspection. Since Song Yuzhang, the supervisor of the early years, was a diligent official who liked to go to the kiln the most, Lin Shouyi father, follow the

When going out with two chief officials and superiors, they often need to get along with kiln workers.

Lin Zhengcheng said slowly: "The two men, apart from chatting about boring business affairs, what else can they talk about. When they each have a son, they will drink a little wine, but they will just chat about their own daily routines."

"Actually, it's been agreed a long time ago. If my family and I happen to have a son and a daughter, we will make a baby marriage. It's a coincidence that we are both sons, so there will be no drama."

Lin Shouyi asked suspiciously: "Uncle Chen also drinks?" Lin Zhengcheng nodded and said: "Yes, you can drink, but it's not good wine, so every time you are dragged by me to drink, it's okay at Longyao, at worst, you'll just fall asleep Well, if he was in the town, he would be like a thief. I wondered back then, he was not that kind of wife

Guan Yan, that younger brother and sister, are famously gentle and gentle, always feel that it is not enough, have never had a chance to ask, always feel that there will be opportunities in the future, but until now I have not been able to figure it out. "At that time, I was eating public food. Our Lin family is not comparable to those big names in Fulu Street and Taoye Lane. It is also considered to be a wealthy family, much richer than him, but as long as it is drinking, I invite a meal. He will definitely pay and treat the meal back, and he will not

Deliberately buy good wine, it is a mind. "

"An honest person is not stupid. A person of duty is not dull. The sense of proportion cannot be learned by reading alone. Even if you practice in the Gongmen, you may not be able to endure it. You can definitely have it if you suffer more. Sense of propriety." "At that time, I said that my son was smart and precocious, and he looked like a seed for reading. Maybe he would be a teacher when he grows up in the future. He said that his son was sensible, and his appearance , Temperament is like his mother, and I will be with you in the future

Go to school to study, read and know how to read, and whether you want to be a kiln worker who burns porcelain in the future depends on the child's own opinion. "

Lin Shouyi listened attentively.

Except that my father was talking about past stories that were never mentioned.

It was also the first time my father chatted with me, and the words were not so unpleasant.

Lin Zhengcheng gently put down the wine bowl, "Someone leaked the inside story about natal porcelain to him." The man narrowed his eyes, "This person has sinister intentions, and he must have only told part of the truth on purpose. Otherwise, all children will have natal porcelain from birth. This incident, in my opinion, is not all bad. Even to put it harshly, under the circumstances of the year

Under the circumstances, only by keeping one's life and having the aptitude for cultivation can one have a chance of survival. "I didn't show up for the two confessional events in Mud Bottle Lane afterwards, which was inappropriate."There are some things here, you don't need to know.But at the Yang's shop, I said hello secretly, but the old man Yang in the backyard has strict rules, so I can help.

After all, there are numbers.In this matter, I feel guilty. It is true that I, as a friend, have insufficient energy to take good care of his son. "

The man sighed, wrinkled his face, and stretched his face again. It was useless to talk too much. He drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and was about to drive people away.

Lin Shouyi said, "I'm going to retreat."

"Are you short of money?"

"There was a gap of one hundred Grain Rain coins before."

"When I didn't ask."

The man immediately said, "Whether it's stealing or robbing, if you ask for money, don't go to my Qingshui yamen, and don't go to the household department. The management is strict, and the Ministry of Rites has saved a lot of private money."

The man said it without embarrassment.

Lin Shouyi was dumbfounded.

Lin Zhengcheng glanced at his son. He thought that a monk in the Nascent Soul Realm would spend heavenly materials and earthly treasures in seclusion and convert them into immortal money, which would be at most forty or fifty Grain Rain coins.

I never wanted to be with such a silent spendthrift prodigal.

Look at Chen Ping'an, then look at Dong Shuijing, which one is not a swallow with mud in his mouth, who goes to his own house every year to replenish his wealth and consolidate his family fortune,

Only myself gave birth to a good son.

Lin Shouyi said softly: "If that's the case, why didn't you say it sooner? He has been worrying for so many years in vain. Chen Pingan must have thought that these years will not be easy."

The man twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Why am I considered Chen Pingan's half-elder? If he doesn't come to me, should I take the initiative to find him? This kid doesn't understand etiquette. Don't tell me I'm an elder, so shameless?" ?” According to the customs of the small town, in the first month of the lunar year, relatives visit each other, whoever is senior, or who is older in the same generation, and who pays New Year greetings to whom, the order should not be messed up at all, otherwise people will see jokes and gossip , the key is to be able to raise

rise.This kind of seemingly insignificant "etiquette" thing, in my hometown, is often even more talked about than who climbed the widow's wall or which mother-in-law stole a man.

What's more, this kind of thing must have been a good thing if it was said earlier?

Lin Shouyi knew he had to go, held back for a long time, and just called "Dad".

The man habitually twitched the corners of his mouth, and with a subterranean smile, he snorted first, and then said: "As a father, I thought I raised an ancestor."

Lin Shouyi pretended he didn't hear it, and bid farewell to his father, got off the kang and left. When he reached the door, the man suddenly said, "Since we've talked about it today, when you leave the customs, go and explain it to Chen Pingan."

Lin Shou nodded.

The man glanced at Lin Shouyi, he was just an elm bump who didn't understand. Seeing that his son didn't understand what he meant at all, he could only say with a straight face, "Remember to ask him to come here to pay New Year's greetings."

Lin Shouyi held back his laughter, and immediately agreed to have a heart-to-heart talk with his father today, which made Lin Shouyi relieved and felt relaxed.The man finally said: "Since the two of you are friends, don't talk about gifts or not during the holidays. It's similar to that in your hometown. If you don't owe the etiquette, the meaning will be. Besides, the money lent to friends, It's best treated as splashed water

, Don't think about the other party paying back. "

Lin Shouyi was speechless.Do you want me to tell Chen Pingan the truth?

Older gingers are more spicy.

The man asked: "Do you want to be the gatekeeper there, or do you want me to take you out? Do you want me to borrow eight big sedan chairs first?"

After Lin Shouyi left, there was an empty wine bowl on the table, and the man filled it with wine, and said to himself, "My son is not bad."

----

An old man and two young men handed over the certificate and successfully entered the capital of the Yu Dynasty.

After passing through the city cave, the vision suddenly opened up, and after walking through a section of the bustling journey of the capital, the young man, the old Taoist priest and the young female crown smiled and bowed to say goodbye, and the two sides parted ways.The captain of the city gate, who was in charge of the gate control of the capital, couldn't help but look back at the white-clothed boy who was gradually receding, and was amazed that he was lucky enough to meet an immortal master from the old dragon city of Baopingzhou. Come on, you should be honored as a master

.As for the term "Guru", there is no evidence of how it spread in the court and the public. It is very knowledgeable. It is not only the abbreviation of "Mountain Immortal Master", but also reveals a natural respect.

The school lieutenant who wears armor and saber, doesn't know what the other dynasties in Tongyezhou are like. Anyway, in Luojing, the monks of Aquarius Island, especially those from the old dragon city, are indeed superior.

As for the other two Taoist priests, they are not worth mentioning. They are from Liang Kingdom, which is just a small place with a big fart, a small pond, and they can't get out of the river.

Longhushan's surname is Great Celestial Master, the real person Liang Shuang went out this time, and changed into a simple Taoist robe that is not so eye-catching. Outsiders can't tell the Taoist legal system just by the Taoist crown and Taoist robe.

The female disciple beside her clenched her fists in front of her body as if she was holding incense. In fact, there was indeed a stick of incense. A blindfold.

The young female crown was quite curious about this Luo Jing, looking around, she was so distracted, but she would not delay her practice.The old master didn't deliberately restrain his disciple's temper.

It is said that the master is going out for a cloud tour this time to meet an old friend's direct disciple, who is from Padi Peak in Luzhou, Beiju.

She doesn't know anything about the mountain, she only knows that Beiju Luzhou is one of the Haoran Jiuzhou, which is in the north of Tongyezhou.

Coming to Luojing, I just dropped by, and on the way, I met that young man who is very good at chess, surnamed Cui and surnamed Dongshan.

The other party said that he came to Luojing as a guest this time because he was ordered by his teacher to find two highly respected friends on the mountain to catch up on the old days.

Liang Shuang didn't say much to his disciples. In fact, Cui Dongshan took the initiative to invite him to leave Liang country this time, saying that the Yu Dynasty has a small merit, waiting for the old man to pick it up.

The old man just sighed, the fate of the country is greater than the fate of people, and the fate of heaven is greater than the fate of the country.Don't look at Luojing's flourishing flowers, busy traffic, and a scene of peace and prosperity. In fact, people's hearts and ghosts are haunted and dilapidated, all of which are the aftermath of the great war.Let’s just talk about those courtiers of the “former dynasty” who survived by luck. Who didn’t have any unspeakable or even tragic scandals in their family in the early years?Rituals and music collapsed, and rules and regulations were shattered. Liang Shuang is in this capital right now, but in fact there is not much gloomy and evil spirit.

What a ghost city, but the filthy smell that hits the face makes an old man who is a great monk in the Ascension Realm feel helpless, and can only sigh and sigh.

Liang Shuang thinks that even if he is the poster maker of the people's hearts of the Yu Dynasty, three generations, at least for a period of Jiazi, or even within 100 years, he will never be able to truly restore the people's hearts before the war.

What would that young man with the same surname do?

Anyway, I will stay in Tongyezhou for a while, so I can wait and see.

Between the palace city and the imperial city, there is an ancient Taoist temple with a long history, and the green glazed tiles fired by the royal official kiln are called Jicui Temple.

The old real person and Taoist Zhike posted a post, and the identity above Guan Yi is Liang Hao, a Taoist priest of the Liang Kingdom, with the Taoist name "Shuangzhen", and his disciple Ma Xuanhui. She has no Taoist title for now.

Not as ignorant as the school captain of the city gate, Ji Cui Guan knows the Taoist priests, and knows that Liang Guo's current protector of the country is called Liang Hao.

However, most of them came from the autumn wind at Jicuiguan.

It's just that the world's Taoist friends are a family, and people in the Taoist school travel all over the world, unlike ordinary genealogy immortal masters, they often stop and rest in the local Taoist temple.

At any rate, the other party was a real person protecting the country, and the Taoist Zhike immediately notified his temple master, who is now the female national teacher of the Yu Dynasty.

A beautiful woman in her thirties is wearing a crown, wearing a crown of taizhen, stepping on a pair of green lotus and white lotus root fairy shoes, and holding a whisk in her hand.

When walking, the fragrant wind blows, and the air of orchid osmanthus lingers around, which is fragrant and refreshing.

It is the owner of Jicui Temple, the current national teacher of the Yu Dynasty, Lu Bilong, whose Taoist name is "Full Moon".

This female temple master who is the royal teacher of the dynasty has a graceful demeanor. At first glance, if she is not wearing a Taoist robe to show her identity, otherwise she is more like a mother who respects the world. What can I teach you?"

The old man raised his foot and said with a laugh: "Pindao is able to step into such a high threshold of Jicuiguan, thanks to the kind words of Manyuedao."

The host and the guest, both of them happened to be real people protecting the country.

It's just that compared to the vast territory of the Yu Dynasty, the Liang Kingdom can only be regarded as an inconspicuous small country.

Lu Bilong laughed it off, hey, the tone sounds a bit weird, could it be that the visitor was not kind?It's not like a master who has a relationship with Ji Cui Guanla.

The old man shook his head and tutted his tongue and said, "You are a beautiful woman, how can you be a thief."

With a calm expression, Lu Bilong waved the whisk, changed hands and put it away, and said with a smile, "Why do you say that, fellow Taoist?"

The old man sighed and said: "Cultivating the truth and living in seclusion, yin and yang are created, and the size of the universe is not the result of rules, but since you and I are both living in the world of mortals and sharpening our hearts, then we have to say that there is no rule and no radius."

Lu Bilong couldn't help laughing, talking so brazenly, you are a Taoist, it's just that you, a Taoist priest of the Liang Kingdom, have come to the wrong place to find the wrong person to talk like that.The old man laughed and said: "Pindao is now just hanging his name in Longhushan Tianshi's mansion to make a living, don't worry about the impoverished backing of Pindao, the teacher who scares people, visit Luojing Jicui today Look, it's just a discussion with Fellow Daoist Full Moon

Fa, one more question. "

Lu Bilong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, pretended to be a ghost, and didn't find a good reason, a little impatient, as soon as he threw the whisk, he was ready to see off the guests.

If he came to Jicuiguan to ask for some fairy money, or asked himself to help find some big pilgrims in Luojing, he just sent it away casually.Who doesn't know that the Huangzi nobleman of the Master's Mansion travels down the mountain, in addition to carrying a mahogany sword on his back, the style of the Taoist robes is also very particular, even if he is not wearing a yellow purple Taoist robe, he is attire that can be recognized at a glance, and he never deliberately conceals his Taoist identity .In history, there are not those monks who are not afraid of death and do not believe in evil, but they want to have trouble with those Longhushan celestial masters who went down the mountain to punish demons. There are even many Longhushan celestial masters who just died in other places, but without exception, soon There will be a new celestial master from the celestial master's mansion to chase after him.

Check it out, no matter the cost.So later on, whether it was monsters from all walks of life, or wild cultivators from various continents, whenever they encountered Taoist priests who went down the mountain to practice, they would hide as much as they could, and run as much as they could.Liang Shuang let go of some restraints a little bit, the Dao Qi was luxuriant, and the immortal energy was ethereal. In an instant, the dragon energy in a capital was instantly suppressed like a small earth snake, crawling on the ground tremblingly. The old man laughed at himself: "The same dragon and tiger The surname outside the mountain is Tianshi, look

After all, Lai Pindao is not as famous as Fellow Daoist Fire Dragon. "

Lu Bilong seemed to have been hit by a thunderbolt from the blue sky, his face was pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Master Liang, Bilong just took the Yu family to avoid disaster with him back then, and his crime is not worthy of death."

The old real man smiled playfully, "Oh? You have the final say, that poor man will shoot Zhou Mi to death with a strike of Leifa, why doesn't Zhou Mi die?" When the master came to Jicui Temple, there was absolutely no way to be kind, but he tried his best to stabilize his Taoist heart, and his eyes became firm, "Besides, even if I am at fault, it is not the turn of a Taoist from the Heavenly Master's Mansion."

Let me make irresponsible remarks, how to deal with it in the end is a matter of the Confucian Academy, and it needs to be decided by the Confucian Temple! "

Liang Shuang restrained his Dao Qi, chuckled, seemed to agree with the statement, and changed the subject and asked, "How did the 'Emperor Son' who was willing to recognize his ancestors with the wild beasts die suddenly in the palace?"

Lu Bilong was silent for a moment, then said: "It seems that a female assassin sneaked into the house, cut off her head, and threw it on the dragon chair. , can only strengthen our vigilance."

Liang Shuang stroked his beard and smiled, "It's such a familiar style."

This kind of unknown assassin is only on the mountain, and is known as a cleanser.

It can be roughly divided into two lines, according to the difference between day and night, a kind of assassin, who likes to kill people in broad daylight and in the city.

For example, the woman who is also considered to be half of her hometown with Bai is an extremely outstanding existence of this lineage.

The other type is day and night, and likes to use assassination, daggers, soft swords, and sleeve arrows, which can be used superbly. Of course, they are all magic weapons refined on the mountain.

Liu Taozhi, in addition to the unknown names of Cherry Tsing Yi, Xishan Jianyin and other first-class land sword immortals, are all listed here.Most of the two parties were young, and were selected by high-ranking people for their qualifications, and they were brought into the mountains to practice. At least ten years, and as many as sixty years, they would go down the mountain to practice.I like paper-cutting to make talismans, horses and donkeys. I act in a very decisive style. Most of them are avenging justice for the common people and supporting the weak.

For example, emperors and generals who are unworthy of virtue, corrupt officials who are fish and meat, Shanzawa Yexiu who is tyrannical but erratic, and genealogy monks who are vicious but covert, are all among the killed.

It's just because this kind of assassination is easily regarded as some kind of personal vendetta in Haoran Tianxia, ​​so the monks on the top of the mountain have never paid attention to it.Because of an accident, Liang Shuang saw two thin figures in a wilderness with thin aura, holding daggers in their mouths, climbing on the cliff. Ascending, one of the little girls was torn off a dead branch by a fellow climber and threw a flying sword. She couldn't dodge it and was hit on the head. If she hadn't caught a vine during the fall, she would have fallen off the cliff and died. The vines are still dangerous, floating in the wind

Swinging, while the girl who was traveling with her, didn't rush to climb up, took out stones one by one from the cloth bag at her waist, and threw them out.They are all eleven or twelve years old. If you want to say that the monk status of the two little girls is not worth mentioning, they are monks in the four realms, and they are not yet in the cave. But their eyes and the attitude that put life and death completely aside , the old man remembers

deep memory.Liang Shuang began to wonder about the masters of the two children. Anyway, where the practice is not practice, the old real person hid himself, waited for a few days on a nearby mountain, and finally saw a female monk with a beautiful face, Nascent Soul Realm At that time, she brought a girl about ten years old into the mountain with her. The newly recruited disciple seemed to be abducted from a rich family's house.After that, the Nascent Soul Nvxiu took the girl who reached the top first, and walked to the city thousands of miles away, and finally the girl held the star

The bun on the head, gently lift it up, and look at it.

At that time, the girl's eyes were indifferent, she had a Dao heart, and the ancient well was calm.That scene made the old man feel complicated.After quietly leaving, Liang Shuang returned to his home dojo. One time, Xiao Zhao from Longhu Mountain climbed the mountain. The old man remembered that experience and asked about it. It turned out that Xiao Zhao was also a clueless person. Zhao Tian

Lai just left the ashram of his predecessors and returned to Longhu Mountain. After a few years, he sent a letter with a talisman, and found out a general thread.

Moreover, Xiao Zhao also guessed that these assassins seemed to be loose, acting independently, and had no contact with each other, but they had a very strong history, and Longhushan had to investigate again as to who gave the orders.

Liang Shuang said with a smile: "Since the business is over, let's discuss a cup of tea with you at Jicuiguan."

Lu Bilong's heart was ashamed, and his expression was gloomy. He brought the old man and the young female crown to a Taoist elegant room. He couldn't keep his mind, so he obediently made tea and entertained guests.

Liang Shuang finished a cup of tea, thanked him with a smile, took a sip of the tea, nodded and said: "It's delicious. Leave a step in the narrow part of the road to walk with others, and you will be on the road. When the taste is strong, reduce it by three points for others to taste. It's really delicious." Just like what Cui Dongshan said on the way when he came, this Jicuiguan Lu Bilong, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, encouraged the Emperor Yu to flee, but he had no collusion with the wild monsters, but he didn't delay himself She was startled.As Lu Bilong himself said,

How to deal with her in the end is a matter for the Academy and the Confucian Temple.

Liang Shuang looked at an ancient peony in the courtyard outside the door that had gone through several dynasties. At the end of winter, the flowers were still blooming beautifully. In more than a hundred years, it is estimated that a flower spirit would be born.

The old man drank tea like wine, showing pride, and once again handed out the bamboo hat in his hand, "Full up."

You direct disciples of the literary sage line seem to like to scare people so much in everything you do?The senior brother saves the sky, and the senior brother makes up for the lack of land.
