Sword comes

This time, Chen Pingan did not pass through Yefu Pass to enter the Dali Country. After walking out of the plank road and the valley, the three of Chen Pingan met a team of elite cavalry.

The wind and snow are boundless, and the two sides confront each other.

Most of the elite troops of the Dali frontier had already turned their horses silently, but suddenly rushed out and galloped to Chen Ping'an's side. It was a young and resolute face, full of vigilance and scrutiny, this Dali border scout Deep in his eyes, there was a resoluteness that Chen Pingan didn't understand at the time.

When this horse came out suddenly, the rest of the robes also gritted their teeth to keep up, and snow dust splashed all over the face.

Chen Pingan shouted in Dali official dialect: "We are from Longquan County. We returned from Huang Tingguo and entered the customs through Niuzhailan."

At the same time, Chen Pingan took out the customs clearance document issued by the Longquan County Government from his bosom, and traveled thousands of miles, covering all the official seals of various passes in various countries. One step, trotted forward, stretched out his hand high, the cavalry became more and more tense, and the whole team of scouts had their pupils shrunk, as if they were facing an enemy.

The scout bent down to accept the pass, and after carefully reading it, he suddenly smiled brightly. The hand that was holding the handle of the knife quietly made a safe marching gesture behind his back, and the pawn still insisted on dismounting. After handing over the document, after Chen Ping carefully put it away, the young cavalry smiled and said: "If you encounter trouble in such a bad weather, you can go to our Fengsui to rest temporarily, prepare food, and wait until the wind and snow are lighter before you go on your way." Not too late."

Feeling the sincerity of the cavalry pawn, Chen Pingan immediately clasped his fists and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just took this opportunity to practice fisting. It's tough, but I can bear it."

Dali is martial arts, the folk customs are tough, and the name moves the whole continent.

The straw sandal boy was so tenacious, and soon won the goodwill of the pair of scouts, even a rough-faced, unsmiling veteran border guard would smile heartily.

The two sides said goodbye at this point, the scouts continued to go south to investigate, and Chen Pingan continued to go north to return home.

The commander of the side cavalry looked back at the backs of the three returning to the north, suppressed his smile, turned his head and reprimanded the cavalry under his command: "What kind of hero are you? Don't worry about your life. Let alone the boy's shade, the two shirts beside him The frail maid and book boy is clearly a practitioner who is not weak in Taoism, otherwise how can he survive the tempering of the weather? Just now we came into close contact, his complexion is so good, you can't tell

If the three of them are really spies of the enemy country, if you go ahead and ask questions this time, our entire army will be wiped out, and it will delay the delivery of the spy information."

The young cavalry pawn murmured, still a little unconvinced, "Captain, we are the second-class scouts at the frontier, and we are still in the territory of Dali. No matter where the gas trainers come from, we have to talk about the rules of our frontier army." If you really dare to kill us, after the investigation, they will definitely have to walk around without eating, and take ten thousand steps back and say, isn’t there still the prince, I will believe whoever has the ability to wrestle with the prince.”

The veteran corporal who had spent half his life in the army was so angry that he hit the young cavalry with a whip, but it hit the space outside the shoulders of the young cavalry. What you are doing is provoking the master Qi trainer, you know? You don’t even know how you died. If you meet a kind and righteous general, you can ask for dozens of taels of pension money for you at most. If you are not kind, you will be locked up."

Those who can become the second-class scouts of the Dali Frontier Army are undoubtedly the top sharp fighters of the Dali Army, and few of them are fools. The young cavalry hurriedly said: "Old Lieutenant, calm down, and hit the Dasui Gao in the future." Shi's lair, I'll use my military exploits to replace you with a rich girl with delicate skin and tender meat, so I can reduce the fire."

The old corporal laughed and scolded: "Fuck off, with your military merits, it's not enough to stuff Lao Tzu's teeth, don't talk nonsense, continue to patrol the top hair, be careful of Huang Tingguo's dog jumping over the wall, the more you have to pay attention to it in this kind of weather, you are not afraid They rushed in looking for death, but after so many years of fighting, it was our horseshoes that stomped on other people's houses, and there was absolutely no reason for others to step on our house."

The young cavalry pawn said with a playful smile: "Understood, I will take a step ahead, so that not a single fly can fly into the valley on the back of the cow's back."

The young cavalry pawn took a deep breath, pulled on the slightly stiff thick sable hat, shook off some ice scum, and ran forward slowly.

A middle-aged scout couldn't help asking: "Commander, there was such a big commotion on the border between the two countries before. I heard that the sky in Huang Tingguo collapsed and many people died. There is no loss on our side. Is this right?" What is there to say, chief corporal, you have a lot of gossip, many old robes are now captains, I know you have specially asked someone to drink before, is there anything you can talk about?"

The old corporal had a serious look on his face, and didn't reveal the secret, just grinned, his eyes were hot, and his tone was gloomy, "There's nothing to say, but we'll have meat soon, it's a good thing"

Over there, Chen Pingan, who was going forward against the wind and snow, said slowly: "I have seen the cavalry of the Great Sui before, escorting us from the border to the capital. I can't tell."

The little boy in Tsing Yi said lazily: "Master, it's such a simple matter. The cavalry of the Sui Dynasty and the watchdogs raised in the courtyard of the deep mansion just look powerful. Of course, if there is a real fight, it may be able to deal with it. But your Dali's The cavalry, especially the border cavalry, are just a group of wild dogs, biting people everywhere, their teeth have been sharpened long ago, replaced by Huang Tingguo's frontier soldiers, seeing the three of us, they would have run away long ago, where is there any chance? Have the guts to step forward and ask questions."

The little boy in Tsing Yi yawned, and said casually: "In Yujiang, I heard a secret story from my Brother Water God. More than ten years ago, there was a frontier army in the north of the Sui Dynasty, and a group of Qi practitioners on the mountain clashed. In a fit of rage, the general mobilized six thousand elites, together with him and his subordinate Wu Secretary Lang, as well as the army trainers seconded from Paoze, and chased and killed four soldiers for more than 800 li. The Qi trainer who did the murder killed three of them."

The girl in the pink skirt was surprised and said: "In Huang Tingguo, no matter if you are in the local army or in the rivers and lakes, you don't dare to compete with the people who practice qi on the mountain. The reason why the Zhilan Cao family spares no effort in cultivating their young sons is because they want to be able to ascend to heaven alone, so they don't need to rely on others everywhere. "

"Huang Tingguo's Hong family is rotten from top to bottom. In future wars, how can they be the opponent of Dali Barbarian."

The little boy in Tsing Yi stretched out his hands out of boredom, condensed crystal clear snowballs again and again, and then threw them into the distance again and again, "The Dali frontier army was also damaged in pieces, especially Wu Secretary Lang died in the battle. His majesty the Emperor Dali, Longyan, was furious, and recalled the third-rank military general to the capital, and demoted him to a low-level soldier in one breath, which calmed down the mountain gate behind the four qi practitioners. In [-], the soldier guarding the northern pass appeared in Yefu Pass in the south, and soon resumed his original position. The frontier army he was in before won the honorary title of one of the new cavalry of Dali. The military horses not only quickly recovered to full strength, but also joined many first-class horses and first-class soldiers, and now they are very prosperous."

Chen Pingan thought of Da Sui Shanya Academy, and said to himself: "Don't fight."

The boy in Tsing Yi quickly threw a snowball to a high place, and then shot away with the second snowball. The key depends on whether Da Sui is competitive or not, but if Dali’s Bai Yujing is really as powerful as rumors say, I think most of the forces on the mountain that Da Sui originally dominated would choose to be wise and safe. After all, no one wants to be plundered from Bai Yujing If the flying sword that is thrown out is killed in the cave protected by the formation in an instant, then it will be a shame to die. Who would like to try Bai Yujing's flying sword? Brother Water God said that as long as Bai Yujing Feijian has half the power of the rumors, he will voluntarily surrender, and with the style of Dali Temple, maybe he will retain his position as Yujiang Water God."

The girl in the pink skirt looked bewildered, "What is Bai Yujing who can run out of the flying sword?"

The little boy in Tsing Yi laughed loudly, flicked his fingers lightly, and a snowball hit the girl in the pink skirt on the forehead, "Swish, a flying sword will be plundered from Bai Yujing in Dali Capital, and the imperial sword fairy of the five realms above The speed of the sword, flying across thousands of mountains and rivers in an instant, pierced through the head of you silly girl, isn't it fun?"

The girl in the pink skirt covered her forehead with her hands, terrified.

The little boy in Tsing Yi sneered and said, "You need to use the Bai Yu Jing Flying Sword to kill you. You are an idiot, but the Dali Court is not stupid. Bai Yu Jing's dozens of flying swords are now the first to target the training Qi fighters are all those old turtle bastards hiding under the water in the territory of the Sui Dynasty. I guess, among the group of Qi fighters who are qualified to be on the list, someone must have quietly left the territory of the Sui Dynasty for the purpose of Avoid its edge."

Although Chen Pingan hadn't interrupted, he felt that most of Yujiang Water Snake's arguments and guesses were well-founded, so he listened to them silently and kept them in his heart.So Chen Ping couldn't understand why such a smart guy with a thorough understanding of problems was willing to take the blame for that water god with ulterior motives in his hometown of Yujiang

Is it dark under the lights

Chen Pingan did not ask.After all, this is Tsing Yi's own business.

Chen Pingan began to walk the pile silently, facing the wind and snow over and over again.

In the knee-high snow, the mountain-shaking boxing had to be extremely slow. Chen Pingan walked all the way from the cliff path to here, and the energy and energy consumed, the longer the time, the further back, it was ten times and a hundred times as usual. as much.

Chen Pingan's whole body, from the outside to the inside, was almost frozen into a block of ice, so that in the later stage, Chen Pingan didn't need to deliberately circulate the Eighteen Stop Sword Qi, and the mysterious Qi like a fire dragon patrolling the pass would be Walking around quickly on his own, invisibly helping Chen Pingan barely maintain a breath of true energy.

Every breath is a painful suffering.

The tired little boy in Tsing Yi looked at it with a big head and felt it was unreasonable. Wouldn't it be good to accept your fate if you have poor talent?

The girl in the pink skirt was almost heartbroken to death.

After half a day, the wind and snow gradually subsided, and the journey afterwards would not be too difficult and difficult.

During the period, the three of them bypassed two passes and dozens of towering beacon towers, large and small.

Chen Pingan would still ask for trouble, every day when he practiced boxing, he took the initiative to learn martial arts with the boy in Tsing Yi, and was often punched by the latter until he fell into the deep snow and disappeared.

But the second realm is still a pitiful second realm, and Chen Pingan's advanced martial arts is really unshakable.

The little boy in Tsing Yi didn't know whether he was mourning his misfortune or was angry about his indisputability. A few times he hit hard, and his own master, who was so heartless, flew out with a broken kite. He had to struggle for a long time before he could stand up. Then he turned his head away, unable to bear to look any further.

On such a stereotyped way back home, the first snow of this year came to an end, and the three finally arrived at a town marked on the map as Fengya County. Pass the line of Xiuhua River, Hongzhu Town and Qidun Mountain.

Chen Pingan wanted to go to more unfamiliar places.

Reading a few books, knowing more than a thousand characters, traveling thousands of miles, and practicing millions of punches, this is Chen Ping's current wish. After all, it needs to be done step by step. Chen Ping's trip back to his hometown has been very enjoyable every day. Enriched, of course, there is no less bitterness.Compared with the study tour to the Great Sui Academy, more time can be spared. Through practicing boxing to build up the body, to temper the soul with luck, to wear water through rocks, and swallows to hold mud, every bit of it is supplementary.

The boy in Tsing Yi would feel that he was wasting his time, but Chen Pingan could clearly perceive the accumulation of a little bit of benefit. This feeling was like the youth in Niping Lane who worked hard every day. It is quietly increasing, and outsiders find it boring, but Chen Pingan himself feels that it is not too good

The New Year is approaching, and we entered the bustling county market. Fengya Town is different from other cities in Dali Bianguan. The smell of books is stronger, because there are obviously a lot of bookstores. There are a lot of typos and omissions. The boy in Tsing Yi and the girl in the pink skirt are both high-sighted. One is wealthy and used to seeing good things, and the other is dealing with sage books since childhood.

So only Chen Pingan was serious about shopping in the bookstore, admiring the long row of [-] complete sets of Yushan Burning Snow on the bookshelf. Unfortunately, there is not much space in the back basket, which can no longer hold such a large set of tomes, and the price is too high , I had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and bought a collection of iron sword flicks signed by Cheng Shuidong.

The elderly storekeeper sincerely praised the young master for his good vision, and then explained that the work of the old servant of Huang Tingguo is now in his pocket, and he must be sure to make a profit, because it is rumored in the market that the man will soon come out again and be invited to be the master Li Yiyi is the deputy head of a new academy.

In the night, Chen Pingan, who had returned with a full load, chose a simple inn and asked for two adjacent rooms, and the girl in a pink skirt slept in one alone.

The boy in Tsing Yi followed Chen Pingan across the threshold, immediately wrinkled his nose with disgust on his face, and shook his palm in front of his nose vigorously to dispel the sour smell that had been aged for a long time. The smell was driven out of the window by the boy in Tsing Yi.

After Chen Ping closed the door, he spread out the map of Dali Nanzhou County on the table, because these secret geographical situation maps have always been exclusive to the government, and private possession by the people is a serious crime.Chen Pingan looked at the distance between Fengya County and Longquan County, which was only [-] miles away. Half of them were official roads that were convenient for business travelers, and the other half were relatively difficult roads along the Okinawa River. Compared with the long journey to and fro, Six hundred miles away, it can be regarded as close at hand.

After Chen Ping ate the food, he began to practice the sword furnace.

From time to time, a woman's curses and the innkeeper's begging for mercy sounded in my ears.

How similar to the scene on Xinghua Lane in Niping Lane in my hometown.

It's just that Gu Can's mother was still there at that time, and the vicious-mouthed Granny Ma hadn't died yet. Every day, the sound of reading in school would be heard as far away as Tiesuojing.

When I went back this time, the old locust tree was gone, and the gatekeeper was no longer there. At the gate of the neighbor’s house in Niping Lane, it was destined not to post a brand new and festive couplet on New Year’s Eve.

Chen Pingan sighed, put away the stake for the sword furnace, went to the window, took out the small silver sword embryo from the small pocket that was specially stitched in his sleeve, held it gently in the palm of his hand, and stroked it slowly.

The little boy in Tsing Yi yelled angrily for no reason, "Looking for death"

Hearing the sound, Chen Pingan turned his head to look, and saw the boy in Tsing Yi grasping a ball of illusory gray smoke with his fingers, and clamping it suddenly, there was a slight crackling sound, the gray fog gradually dissipated, and there was a faint howling and neighing.

Seeing Chen Ping's puzzled face, the little boy in Tsing Yi happily claimed the credit: "Master, I've crushed this little spirit who doesn't know how to live or die, and yet dare to come to your place to act wildly, Master, I'm so tired of it."

The little boy in Tsing Yi pointed to the mist scattered around, "It's called Pillow Charm, and it has no substance. Wherever this little thing passes, the little wind it brings is one of the many evil spirits in the world. I like it the most." Chasing those vicious street-swearing shrews, every time they talk, this kind of spirit will secretly appear, and collecting that kind of atmosphere is the most capable of separating relatives, especially the relationship between husband and wife. The so-called pillow style in the market is theirs. Good at playing."

Chen Pingan sighed, and said with a smile: "In the future, if you encounter such spirits, just drive them away, and you don't need to fight or kill them."

The little boy in Tsing Yi let out a groan, tilted his head, and asked, "Master, aren't you a Bodhisattva heart? Why don't you act for the heavens when you encounter such evil spirits?"

Chen Pingan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What do you do for the heavens? I'm not that capable."

Chen Ping quickly stopped talking and said nothing more.

The little boy in Tsing Yi felt a little disappointed for no reason.

Because I failed to hear the great truth of the bad guy.

In the past, I always felt that listening was boring and boring. After that Wusheng Temple, Chen Pingan didn't talk about it once, and I found it even more boring.

The little boy in Tsing Yi lay on the table for a while, feeling that he was seriously ill, so he simply climbed onto the table, and then lay on his face, staring at the ceiling lifelessly, and saw a small spider web that had no owner sitting there. After looking at it for a long time, Tsing Yi The little boy started to toss and turn on the table.

The girl in the pink skirt tidied up the bedding and mattresses over there, and then ran here to tidy up the master. She didn’t forget to carry Cui Dongshan’s bookcase on her back, and she protected the bookcase all the time during the journey. , the young man in white was in Zhilan Cao's study building, how much psychological shadow was caused to her by using his supernatural powers.

Chen Ping put away the "silver ingot" again, and walked to the table, the boy in Tsing Yi quickly sat back on the stool, Chen Ping took out the book of Iron Sword flicks with a strong ink fragrance from his back basket, and the boy in Tsing Yi hurriedly graciously He brought the oil lamp and helped to light the wick, and the master and servant sat on three sides.

The little boy in Tsing Yi didn't dare to disturb Chen Pingan who was reading, and asked with a smile to the girl in the pink skirt who was sitting opposite him, "Are you happy that you can eat a snake gallstone right away and enter the fifth level?"

With Chen Pingan by her side, the girl in the pink skirt should be much more courageous, "Don't think about my snake gallstone."

The little boy in Tsing Yi laughed and said: "The master told me in private that snake gallstones are classified into different sizes and grades. Silly girl, you have no credit or hard work along the way. It is the most useless, so I will only give you the smallest and worst one." , I have accompanied the master to feed fists so many times, so the two I got in my hand are the biggest and best, one is as big as ten of you."

The girl in the pink skirt immediately turned to look at Chen Pingan.

Chen Pingan turned a page of the book, smiled and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense."

The girl in the pink skirt glared at the boy in Tsing Yi who lied about the military.

The kid in Tsing Yi slapped the table, "rebel"

The girl in the pink skirt sat next to Chen Ping'an.

Chen Pingan was used to this, but he didn't deliberately support the little fire python and read the book quietly all the time.

Borrowing the dim light of the oil lamp, Chen Pingan flipped through the booklet page by page, and took out a leftover bamboo slip from Qidun Mountain, and a small carving knife presented by the shopkeeper who bought the jade hairpin at that time. The good sentences that catch your eyes are engraved on the bamboo slips stroke by stroke.

The little boy in Tsing Yi pressed his cheek against the table, rolling his eyeballs, playing tricks.

The girl in the pink skirt didn't dare to look at him, so she leaned next to her master and watched Chen Pingan read or engrave letters.

Chen Pingan suddenly frowned, and after a moment of hesitation, he asked: "The book says that after wealth and prosperity, roads and bridges must be built, and luxury houses and large tombs cannot be built."

The boy in Tsing Yi scoffed at this, but did not speak, maintaining that half-dead posture.

The girl in the pink skirt nodded and said softly: "Master, some scholars are very particular about this. They hope that when they become rich, they will do good deeds and accumulate virtue to benefit the village."

Chen Pingan was a little helpless. He originally thought that after returning home, he would spend money to build a big grave for his parents immediately before the New Year's Eve. It would be magnificent without even having a decent tombstone.

The little boy in Tsing Yi couldn't help but said: "My lord, you are not a scholar now, so let's talk about these things. I really have nothing to worry about. The big deal is to build roads and bridges. When the time comes, I will help myself. Not only did we spend money, Even if you contribute yourself, God must have nothing to say."

Chen Ping suddenly realized that the knot in his heart that had just been knotted was quickly untied. He turned his head to look at the boy in Tsing Yi, stretched out his thumb to him, and said happily: "You are right."

The girl in the pink skirt cheered up with her master.

The little boy in Tsing Yi was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his head, tears almost fell out.

Walking and walking, through the official road and waterway, the atmosphere of a large and two children was harmonious, and finally saw the outline of a slightly lonely mountain.

Chen Pingan stopped, stretched out his hand and patted the heads of the boy in Tsing Yi and the girl in pink skirt from left to right, then pointed to the big mountain. He smiled and looked at the top of the big mountain named Luopo Mountain. Not subtle at all, "I'm home when I'm home"

The second volume of Shanshuilang is over.
