Sword comes

Liu Xianyang began to teach Chen Pingan the ancestral "Sleepwalking" sword technique, not caring about Xie Gou's presence.

Chen Ping'an had a lot of questions, and Liu Xianyang told him everything he knew. Xie Gou didn't interrupt their preaching and listening. He sat beside them and yawned, then lay down with his legs crossed and ate melon seeds, then turned sideways and supported his cheek, still bored, and lay on the ground waving his sleeves as if swimming in the water.

The mountain master's brows were mostly furrowed, occasionally relaxed, or bowed his head in meditation. After a long time, one could see purple air rising from the acupoints on the face, mist lingering around the ears, and unusually small fairy palaces appearing. The true energy gushed out of his nostrils like a long snake hanging, or he shook his sleeves and deduced with his fingers, and in an instant, the room was filled with rosy clouds and ripples appeared around the cushion like water waves. Or he put his fingers together and pointed, and the extremely condensed sword light of an inch kept flowing... Xie Gou wanted to say something again and again, but he held back. He was filled with emotion and realized that practicing Taoism was so hard.

Time passed by without her noticing. The girl in the mink hat calculated the time and thought it was time for supper. She glanced at Liu Xianyang, who shook his head gently and waved his hand.

Xie Gou did not forget to bow to express his gratitude. After all, he was just listening to someone preaching. Liu Xianyang just nodded and didn't take it to heart.

Xie Gou tiptoed out of the house, stretched, used the technique of shrinking the earth, took a step forward, and arrived at Ji Ling Peak, where he just happened to see a group of people holding toothpicks in their mouths wandering over.

The girl in the mink hat put her hands on her hips and said indignantly, "Zhong Diyi, Master Wen, how shameless are you guys?" When they entered the yard and sat on the table, the hungry ghosts were reincarnated and started eating quickly, only Zhu Lian was lying on the rattan chair, fanning himself with a palm leaf fan. After eating and drinking, Xie Gou picked his teeth with a toothpick, walked out of the yard with the others, burped, and complained that Zhong Diyi's order today was not up to standard. Zhong Qian accepted it humbly, holding the toothpick in her mouth, shaking her fist, and said that she must know shame and then be brave.

After a brief thought, Xie Gou took him to a relatively secluded private house to find Jiang She.

Zhong Qian was not happy at first and said that she wanted to go back to sleep because she had to get up early tomorrow and have breakfast on time.

Xie Gou just asked him to follow, so much nonsense, womanizing. Your golden body is too sloppy.

Following the girl in the mink hat, Zhong Qian was in a fog. She didn't know what realm the martial arts master surnamed Jiang mentioned by Xie Cixi was at. She heard that he was a relative of Pei Qian's family who came to visit. She guessed that he was in the Far Traveling Realm, but he couldn't be in the Mountain Top Realm, right? Zhong Qian was the number one martial artist in the Lotus Root Blessed Land, and she knew very well the importance of a Mountain Top Realm master. It's just that he didn't show up in his own Fallen Mountain. Master Chen, Pei Qian, the old cook, Brother Dafeng... Brother Wen really suffered a lot. I heard that before going down the mountain, he had a chance to reach the Mountain Top Realm.

Zhong Qian finally saw Jiang She, who was enjoying the cool in the courtyard. He was tall and strong, and had an amazing aura. In her hometown, if she saw such a person, she would avoid him.

Jiang She just glanced at Zhong Qian, guessed what Xie Gou was thinking, and said directly, "I won't teach useless people."

Zhong Qian really didn't care, she was smiling and not angry at all. I am a waste, do I need you to remind me? You are being polite.

Xie Gou wanted to give up, thinking that a forced melon is not sweet, but he just happened to burp, so he said directly to Wu Yan: "Listen, is this human language?"

Wu Yan held a fan, looked gentle, and advised, "Just think of it as a practice."

Jiang She frowned, still reluctant.

Xie Gou put his hand to his mouth, giving Zhong Qian a reassurance, "Don't be afraid of him, he is our mountain master's defeated opponent, he lost miserably, he can no longer use advanced Taoism, and his martial arts has also fallen a lot."

Zhong Qian nodded, and roughly understood that he must be a Taoist monk and a mountain-top warrior.

Wuyan narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Jiang She snorted and slowly stood up.

Relying solely on intuition, Zhong Qian retreated again and again, but it was not the kind of retreat that intended to get away. Instead, she instantly raised her fist stance, concentrated her fist power, strengthened her fist intent, and stirred up her murderous intent!

In his hometown, Zhong Qian never took the initiative to cause trouble. If anyone provoked him, it would be easy for him to kill them.

Jiang She exclaimed, "I underestimated you. But if your skills are limited to this, there is no need to think highly of you."

Jiang She became slightly interested and rubbed his wrist. "Nobody, let me tell you my name first. I'll also let you know one thing. You are far from the true Golden Body Realm."

Zhong Qian pulled the corner of her mouth, not daring to take it lightly, "Lotus root blessed land warrior, your grandfather Zhong is here..."

Xie Gou sat next to Wu Yan, marveling at the appearance. He said, "Don't judge a book by its cover. Our Zhong Diyi is usually a low-key person. He has the mentality of "praising me is the same as scolding me, and scolding me is the same as praising me". He doesn't want to fight with others, otherwise his mouth will stink."

Zhong Qian's eyes suddenly blurred, and she flew into the air. Her body instantly bent like a shrimp, and her back hit an invisible wall. A series of firecracker sounds rang out from her bones. Her eyeballs were instantly filled with bloodshot, and her head tilted, with blood dripping from her ear holes onto the ground. Zhong Qian groaned, her Adam's apple moving slightly, and she swallowed the large blood clot back into her stomach along with...tonight's supper. It can't be wasted. This is what I bought with my face.

Jiang She stood where Zhong Qian had stood before, with one hand behind his back and the other hand beckoning towards the Golden Body Realm warrior who was half-crouching on the ground, "Come."

The ground shook, raising a cloud of dust. Zhong Qian's figure was as fast as a wisp of green smoke, and her route turned several times, but Jiang She still raised his hand and slapped her on the forehead. Zhong Qian fell to her knees on the spot, as if she was hit directly by a thunderbolt on the forehead. There was a buzzing sound and blood all over her face. Zhong Qian used all her strength, raised her hands with difficulty, clenched her fists, shook them a few times, and stopped fighting.

Jiang She laughed angrily, "Grandpa Zhong, right? You just took a bite of the appetizer with your chopsticks, and you told me you're full?!"

Zhong Qian vomited a large mouthful of blood, fell forward, and had to support herself on the ground with her hands. She shook her head as if she had drunk several kilograms of fake liquor.

Jiang She moved away and asked in confusion, "How did you become the number one person in the blessed land? Are you the biological son of the Lord of Bixiao Cave?"

Wu Yan coughed quickly. Don't you know what kind of stubborn temper that fellow Daoist Bixiao from Luobaotan has?

Xie Gou took note of this silently, and next time if he accidentally said something that annoyed Fellow Daoist Bixiao, he would bring up Jiang She's words to ward off disaster.

Zhong Qian flipped over and lay on her back. She reached out to wipe the blood and felt herself falling apart. She said weakly, "Grandpa Zhong is not as skilled as others. Just admit defeat..." Zhong Qian rolled over with lightning speed. A foot appeared where her head had been placed, and a pit appeared under her feet.

Zhong Qian and the girl in the mink hat came to ask for help, "Thank you, Vice-Chancellor. It's just that the dishes I ordered tonight were substandard. No matter how big the hatred or resentment is, it won't cost me my life, right?!"

Xie Gou slapped his hand on his face and said helplessly, "That's it. Anyway, I have done my best. It's you who didn't seize the opportunity. Don't blame me for being disloyal in the future."

Zhong Qian sat on the ground, supported her knees with her fists clenched, and tried to raise a breath of pure true energy that was scattered like thousands of gossamer threads, but failed.

Jiang She stamped his feet lightly, and Zhong Qian floated in the air. Jiang She came to his side, stretched out his hand to grab his shoulder, and shook it gently, and the bones shook again. Jiang She's move was like a snake catcher in the mountains who caught a snake by its vital point, and then shook it suddenly, and the snake became obedient. Zhong Qian collapsed to the ground, but his eyes were wide open. Grandpa Zhong, why do I feel that my blood circulation is flowing smoothly and I feel refreshed?

Jiang She said with a smile: "Grandpa Zhong, are you lying on the ground and enjoying yourself?"

Zhong Qian smiled brightly and clasped her fists in thanks, "Zhong Qian thanks you for the fists, senior."

Jiang She asked: "Your mountain master is a famous martial arts master. How does my boxing compare to his?"

Zhong Qian said: "My eyesight is too short and my realm is too low. I think each has its own merits."

Jiang She waved his hand.

Zhong Qian limped away with a grin on her face.

Not long after, an old man appeared at the door. Xie Gou immediately smiled and said, "Master Xu!"

Jiang She glanced at his Taoist partner, and the woman went to get the wine.

Xu Yuanxia explained with a smile: "I couldn't sleep, so I just took a walk to admire the moon, and accidentally walked over here. What happened? It made quite a noise."

Since being kidnapped here, Xu Yuanxia has been living temporarily in the mountains.

Green mountains, clear waters, black words on white paper, always have the magic to keep one young.

I wonder how many heroes throughout history have been envious of the word "old age" and the beauties who cannot bear to see a single strand of white hair.

Jiang She and Xu Yuanxia, ​​two men with an age difference of more than 10,000 years, hit it off at first sight and were unreasonable.

As for Zhu Lian, Jiang She knew his background, so no matter how much he liked her, he was still reserved in his conversation. Only Xu Yuanxia, ​​who claimed to be a young frontier soldier, had wandered the world when he was young, returned to his hometown to open a martial arts school when he was old, and had been compiling a travelogue of mountains and rivers in recent years, made Jiang She feel very close to her and they could talk very well.

Jiang She really let down all his guard in front of this "old man", but Wu Yan was not surprised.

Be it her personality and temperament, or the rambling chatter, as well as Xu Yuanxia's life experience, they were all really to Jiang She's liking!

Jiang She joked, "What a hero you were back then, Brother Xu. You left the battlefield alive, with a big beard and a sword, all alone, slaying demons and monsters. How cool and unrestrained you were. It would have been fine if you had a crush on that Taoist priest you met by chance, but why did you acknowledge Chen Pingan as your little brother? Brother Xu, you're condescending."

Xu Yuanxia laughed, "Who said it wasn't?"

Chen Pingan came quietly from the Fuyaolu Dojo and stood outside the door of the house. He stopped for a moment and did not go in.

Let these two old hands talk more about the world of martial arts.

In Fuyaolu, even with Liu Xianyang personally teaching swordsmanship, progress was still slow. First of all, this swordsmanship has two thresholds, one hidden and one visible. The obvious one, of course, requires extremely high comprehension and a clear sword heart to match it, but the hidden one is a strange requirement.

A sword cultivator needs to either be completely dreamless, or have extremely frequent dreams and be able to remember their dreams while awake or asleep.

It was already very difficult for Chen Ping'an to pass the threshold and learn swordsmanship.

Furthermore, "thanks to" the chaotic human and environmental atmosphere, Chen Pingan's practice of this swordsmanship was extremely painful.

With Xie Gou beside him to help contrast, Chen Pingan seemed particularly stupid and his talent was extremely mediocre.

Come to the bamboo building, look at the bright moonlight on the cliff, look at Qidun Mountain, and the Hongzhu Town where three rivers converge, with its brilliant lights.

During the day in the government office, I looked through the landscape files of the Ministry of Rites. Changchun Hou Yanghua is very pragmatic. Dadu Hou Mansion does not accept any congratulations. In the past few years, she has inspected the counties under her jurisdiction alone, without any entourage or carriage, and did not greet the local landscape officials. Her footprints have covered thousands of counties.

In contrast, Cao Yong, Marquis of Linli, acts according to the rules of officialdom, is experienced and diligent in governing, which is a completely different character.

Chen Ping'an also looked up Cen Wenqian, the newly appointed head of Qiantang, and Bai Deng, the water god of the Tiefu River at his doorstep.

In addition, he personally approved the proposal of the Ministry of Rites, allowing Li Qingzhu, the water god of Yuye River, to be transferred to the Nishe River in Weizhou to build a temple and statue. At the same time, he allowed Su Rui, the water god of Nishe River, to be transferred to Yuye River to take up his post.

Chen Ping'an called Xie Gou and said he wanted to go out for a while to see the scenery along the way of Dadu and verify the effect of the Imitation Three Mountains Talisman.

There's nothing wrong with thanking the dog, and that travelogue will be more colorful!

He repeatedly sacrificed the fake Three Mountains Talisman, whose only shortcoming was that it could not shrink the distance far enough. He stopped briefly in the mountains and rushed towards the Zhongyue territory.

The East and West Duks come from thousands of mountains in the north and south.

Dali Handan, the capital of Qiu State.

At a breakfast stall near the Imperial Road, a dull young man and a freckled girl put their gold and silver jewelry in a crossbody bag. They still had to wait for the city gate to be opened, so they sat down here first and had a meal. They ordered two bowls of cheap and good wontons, with large fillings and thin skins, as well as seaweed, dried shrimp, and shredded spiced tofu. In the middle of the table, there was a bamboo tube full of chopsticks and various sesame oil and sauce dishes.
