Sword comes

When Chen Ping woke up on the roof, he found that he was covered with a piece of clothing, and the sword-raising gourd was next to him. If in the past, Chen Ping was drunk and fell asleep all night, he would have jumped off the roof immediately to check the The locust wood sword box on the table in the house, but today, Chen Pingan just slowly put away the clothes, folded them carefully, and was not in a hurry, because he believed that the wooden box was there.

Chen Pingan believed in the old boatman.

Chen Pingan kept a sword gourd on his waist, sat cross-legged, turned his head and looked towards the east, and the morning glow was as bright as a chrysanthemum.

Compared with Chen Pingan's state of mind when he left Jiaolonggou to chase Osmanthus Island, there is a world of difference. One is distracted and erratic, and the other has a tethered horse.

Chen Ping stood up, covered his eyes with his hands, and admired the morning glow. He once saw it in a landscape travel book, and the morning glow scattered colors and shamed the clothes hanger. I really don't know how scholars can come up with such a beautiful image.

Chen Pingan suddenly turned his head and looked outside the small courtyard of Guimai. There was a young girl dressed as an osmanthus lady standing under a sparsely shaded osmanthus tree. , probably guessing the odd and even numbers of the leaves, Chen Ping followed her line of sight, took a closer look, grinned, and said loudly: "Girl, it's 32 leaves."

The girl turned her head in a daze, and when she saw the little sword fairy on the roof, her cheeks were flushed. It seemed that the morning glow in the sky would also favor some beauties.

Miss Osmanthus Fragrance, who was found to be lazy, held back her shyness and asked, "Do you want breakfast now, Master?"

Chen Pingan smiled and said, "Okay, please get some more, girl, I'm hungry."

Miss Osmanthus blinked her eyes, the figure floated down the small courtyard and disappeared without a trace, and the girl's mood suddenly improved.

A few days ago, even though this little sword fairy was very polite, she was still terrified. She always felt that she had done something wrong, even if he would definitely not complain to Aunt Gui, he would definitely be punished. He saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.That's why she was a little afraid of him. When he told her to see no one, she honestly blocked many visiting guests, bit the bullet and rejected a group of mountain gods.

After breakfast, Chen Pingan began to practice boxing in the courtyard. He practiced the mountain-shaking boxing in the morning, and in the afternoon he practiced the sword alone. Very carefree, after entering the fourth realm, the spiritual energy began to be introverted. During the six-step walk, it looked light and light, as if Feihong was stepping on slush, but every time there was a subtle and sudden pause, the punching energy poured out, especially swiftly.

Turning to sword practice, Chen Pingan found that the luck routes of the two sides were completely different, but the "meaning" was common, which made Chen Pingan feel more at ease, because he found that practicing boxing diligently is self-cultivation, and there are many ways to practice.When Li Xisheng was drawing talismans in front of the Lost Mountain Bamboo Building, he said that drawing talismans is practice. A Liang knocked someone down with a punch.

Then the fourth level of Martial Dao continued like this. Before, Chen Pingan still felt at a loss like walking in the void, confused, but now he has become much more determined.

In the evening, Chen Pingan practiced the sword furnace stake.

When eating supper, Mrs. Gui didn't let the sweet-scented osmanthus girl show up, and the lady brought the food box herself.

This Aunt Gui seemed to be preoccupied, and she didn't know how to speak. Chen Pingan had already taken the lead and said, "Aunt Gui, this time I helped Fan Xiaozi keep the Osmanthus Island. Can you send Feijian a message for me and say that I like it very much?" This Guimai small courtyard will belong to me from now on, Aunt Gui, I don't think Fan is too stingy, but Fan's parents probably won't agree, so you can help me talk about it when the time comes."

Aunt Gui was full of suspicion, and looked at the young man carefully, her expression did not seem to be fake, she had mixed feelings for a while, and said with a smile: "If you dare not agree to Fan's ancestral hall, then Aunt Gui will drag Fan boy to call for grievances, a shrew Swearing at the street, rolling all over the floor, it will definitely succeed."

Aunt Gui sat beside Chen Ping'an, watching him gobble it up all the time, as if she was amused by herself, she covered her mouth and smiled, "Osmanthus fragrans Island has a small courtyard by itself, which is a rare thing that has never happened before. Aunt Gui will go to draft it herself." A land deed, according to the rules of the yamen, is in duplicate, we two will draw the pledge first, cut it first and play it later, and then let Boy Fan throw it in the ancestral ancestral hall, and run away, regardless of whether the old men are willing or not."

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Aunt Gui, the land deed is unnecessary, I and you don't need this."

Aunt Gui stared into the boy's eyes, "I really don't need it"

Chen Ping looked at her, nodded and said, "Really."

The woman sighed slightly, and suddenly threw her arms around the young man, holding her in her arms. This plain-looking but graceful Mrs. Gui smiled softly and said, "Although I'm about the same age as Fan, the bamboo rafting time It’s heroism, and today it’s like this, it’s true that the hearts of all women in the world are going to melt.”

Chen Pingan was still holding chopsticks, his body was crooked, a bit like the old willow tree with crooked neck by the Tiefu River. I understand, especially if a woman's heart is tender or not, it's a metaphor for being a literati and a scholar. And Aunt Gui's way of expressing the kindness of her friends and the kindness of her elders is indeed a bit inappropriate. Fortunately, the age difference between the two generations is too large I believe that even if outsiders see it, they won't think too much about it

The woman had already let go of Chen Ping'an, smiled slightly, and saw the young man's face was neither red nor heartbeat, only his eyes were dazed and cute, Aunt Gui squinted her eyes, the normally dignified woman showed a charming and charming expression for the first time, jokingly said : "Oh, it turns out that he is still a child just like Fan boy."

From the beginning to the end, Chen Pingan was a little embarrassed, so he had to bow his head to eat and drink occasionally.

Aunt Gui smiled and got up to leave.

As a result, at the door, I saw an old man carrying wine with a playful smile, full of alcohol smell, dangling the wine jug, striding into the yard, shouting what wine is for Huanbo, to relieve worries and bring joy, toads and rabbits are moving, and osmanthus trees are shaking shade.

Mrs. Gui smiled helplessly, she didn't take it seriously, and walked away slowly, accompanied by the shade of osmanthus trees all the way.

The old man Zhouzi suddenly disappeared from his drunken state, and said seriously: "Chen Ping'an, my master suddenly came to Osmanthus Island, calling for you by name and saying that he wanted to send you a message. I can only confirm whether you will see me or not, old man." , is not a bad person, and has always been kind, but I am also not sure if such a good person will do a bad thing once. The reason why I don’t want to climb the mountain to come to this small courtyard”

The old man was suddenly a little embarrassed, "It stands to reason that I, as an apprentice, should be taboo for the Venerable, but this kind of thing, forget it, let me tell you, Master, an old man, was once the number one ferryman on Osmanthus Island. A boatman, playing dragon poles, those origami chariots and tall buildings are all the rules passed down by him, but after that, the master disappeared very quickly, and only appeared once 500 years ago, so he accepted me like this As a registered disciple, it can be seen that the master and the old man have some thoughts about Mrs. Gui, but it is a pity that he has somehow annoyed Mrs. Gui, and the master is not allowed to set foot on Osmanthus Island for the rest of his life."

The old Zhouzi suddenly said: "I guess Master, the old man, is the boatman recorded in the Taoist classics. He went to sea for hundreds of years at a time, and he punted for the person you mentioned. So this time he came to you, I It’s just helping to report the news, Chen Pingan, you should think about it yourself whether you want to go or not.”

Chen Pingan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Go. That Lu"

Lao Zhouzi winked quickly, stopped Chen Ping'an's words, and said in a low voice: "If someone calls you by his first name, a sage with great morals can feel it. Think about it, ordinary people in the market, why are they often warned?" , it is not so simple not to call the names of the deceased elders just out of etiquette."

Chen Pingan hummed and went down the mountain with Lao Zhouzi.

The old man joked: "Don't be afraid that I have evil intentions."

Chen Pingan pretended to be mysterious, and said softly: "I have some feelings about whether others will harm me. Senior, does this mean that I have the potential of a saint?"

The old man couldn't help laughing. A saint and a qi trainer of the upper five realms are actually two kinds of people. If one wants to become a saint, especially a saint of the three religions, even if it is only a saint of the tenth realm, he is afraid that compared with other qi trainers It is even more difficult to enter the Jade Realm.

After going down the mountain, approaching the familiar ferry, Chen Pingan and Lao Zhouzi were a little surprised, but they felt it was reasonable.

Mrs. Gui stood at the ferry, her sleeves fluttering, detached from the world, as if she was preventing a middle-aged man from stopping the boat and landing.

Mrs. Gui is the owner of the small world of Osmanthus Island. Naturally, she knew that the two of them were approaching, and she didn't want to entangle with this person anymore, so she spoke harshly and said angrily to the middle-aged boatman with a dull expression: "Hurry up, I want to chat, go to the sea Let’s talk, you don’t want to set foot on Osmanthus Island, or I will fight you hard.”

The middle-aged man with a simple appearance is the boatman who used to sail the boat at the left and right feet of Jianxiu, and he should also be the mentor of the old boatman beside Chen Ping'an.

The middle-aged man is originally an unshakeable and dull-tempered man, but Mrs. Gui in Dukou is his Achilles' heel. Seeing a woman so unkind, and even seeing him so fierce for the first time, this simple and honest man feels that the world is falling apart. Life is so boring, so I became impatient, lost the penny, stomped my feet repeatedly, and wailed: "Well, well, it was after being rejected by you that time, after being hurt so much by you, and after getting drunk, Jiu Zhuang is cowardly, so he secretly ran to hug the osmanthus tree a few times, it was uncontrollable and understandable, you don’t know who I am, even my husband said I was honest and honest .”

Mrs. Gui was so angry that she sneered and said: "Yo Yo Yo, everything is intertwined, first move with emotion, then understand it with reason, and finally move out of the backer, amazing, who taught you this kind of wording?"

The courage that the man had finally mustered up was completely clean, and he said dully: "Xiao Qi from Shen Gaozong"

Mrs. Gui stretched out her hand and scolded angrily: "You old man, do you still have any sense of responsibility and loyalty? Qi Zhen will help you with advice, and you will betray him like this without even hesitating."

The middle-aged man sat down on the boat as if he had been condemned by God, his hands and feet dangling, and he shouted, "Why is life so interesting after living?"

Old Zhouzi stopped, unwilling to take another step forward, stretched out his hands to cover his face, and beat him to death not to see the scene of his master, an old man. It is a great shame for a disciple to be so maddened by his teacher.

Lao Zhouzi turned around abruptly, "Let's go, let's look at it again, my broken Dao heart, even if I was lucky before, I was not beaten to death by Lao Jiao, but I will return it to Master."

The man shouted to Lao Zhouzi: "Little Shui Tong, when you see Master, you don't say hello."

Lao Zhouzi, who was called out by his nickname when he was a child, stopped and sighed, but turned around and resolutely did not meet his master's eyes. Hurry up and climb the mountain.

Chen Ping went all the way and walked up to Mrs. Gui, both of them nodded and smiled. Chen Ping squatted on the bank of the ferry, looking at the man who glanced at himself and Mrs. Gui again. Something is wrong, why does it look like the women of Niping Lane and Xinghua Lane, Chen Pingan suddenly realized the way she looked at her man and Gu Canniang, she looked so honest, why is she so small, no wonder Mrs. Gui didn't like it.

Chen Pingan asked: "I have something to do with you."

The middle-aged man roughly repeated what he had said to Jian Xiu before.

Before being honest, the man stomped his feet lightly, and the penny bounced up. He held it in the palm of his hand and hit the ship's plank heavily. In an instant, the man temporarily created two small worlds with shocking magical powers. Chen Pingan, within a short distance, and the larger ones, covered the entire Osmanthus Island in one breath. In this way, I am afraid that even some Taoist priests from the inverted mountain and the saints from Nanbasuozhou would not be able to investigate this place.

After all, he is Lu Chen's registered disciple.

I don't want to take the left and right swords from Jianxiu, or look like a rascal in front of Mrs. Gui. In a vast world, I only have the name Zhouzi in the rare classics, but it doesn't mean that this person is not strong and the way is not high. .

Mrs. Gui knew the background of this person, so it was not surprising that in the small world beside her, the figures of the two were blurred, and the voices of the two parties did not reveal the slightest.

After Chen Pingan finished listening, he nodded and said, "Okay."

The middle-aged man said slowly: "You don't want to be my husband's closed disciple. If you agree, I will thank you and owe you a great favor."

Chen Pingan looked at this man, simply sat on the edge of the ferry, took off the gourd of raising swords, just drank and didn't speak.

The man leaned on the ground with a bamboo pole in his hand, looked up to the sky, and said softly: "Sir, I have never regarded me as his disciple, just a servant who helped him punting in the early years, although several of his direct disciples came to this world to travel When I was a teacher, he would take the initiative to look for me, and he was willing to call me senior brother, but I knew very well that my husband always disliked me for being dull, with poor qualifications, and I couldn’t even let go of a word of love, so I searched countless people in the sea. In [-], I wanted to follow in the footsteps of my husband, go to that Qingming Tianxia, ​​and formally learn from my teacher, but my husband didn't want to see me, but if you are willing to promise my husband today, as long as my husband is in a good mood, I will meet you, I am sure."

Chen Pingan smiled lazily: "Then do you know that the disciple your husband wants to accept is me now, not me after becoming his disciple."

The man stretched out his hand and patted his head, but he still couldn't figure it out. He said angrily, "I've confused you. What's the matter, you sir's disciples, why do you speak in such a weird way? It's so cool. Even Bei Xie Shi from Ju Luzhou is also very polite in his speech, and all his curse words are hidden in his praises. It took me more than 100 years to realize that he was scolding me for not being enlightened. like."

The man then sighed, "It's still my fault, too stupid. No wonder other people are so smart."

Chen Pingan stopped drinking and smiled, "Why don't you blame the world?"

The man stood on the boat, and the boy sat by the ferry.

The two were just at eye level.

The man grinned.

Chen Pingan has already changed the subject, "Your disciple suffered such a serious injury, you don't care if you have been to the Nascent Soul Realm before, and then fell back to the Golden Core"

The man said angrily, "I'm his master, not his father. I'm five hundred years old, and I can't make shit and piss."

Chen Pingan put down the gourd of Yangjian, stretched out a finger of his left hand to hover in the air, then pulled his right hand to the right, and then stopped. Between the two fingers, it was like an invisible ruler. On this side, what you said seems to make sense on this side, but your reasoning can't refute my reasoning, do you know why? Because your reasoning shouldn't go so far all at once."

Chen Pingan moved his right hand slowly to the left, clicked in the middle, then clicked on the left and right, and said with a smile: "Your reason, if you just go around here and stand here, it may be considered the real reason. There is a little deviation, but when the truth is in the right position, how to measure the weight and size of the truth? Do you know that the art of jurisprudence is not the art of yin and yang, but the art of arithmetic, plus Legalism, there is With these two smaller rulers, it will be useful.”

The man said calmly: "Don't try to ruin my way"

Holding a penny in his hand, he slammed the boat again.

Chen Pingan smiled brightly.

Because I was right again.

Chen Ping stood up with a smile, no longer pretending to be mysterious and making things out of nothing. In his dream last night, he had a dream and read books all night.

As if he also realized that he was being teased, the man was a little annoyed and scratched his head, but he didn't vent his anger on Chen Ping'an.

Chen Ping blinked, "Mrs. Gui is watching, how do you think she will think you are right when you treat your disciple like this?"

The man seemed to be enlightened immediately, his eyes lit up, he hesitated, and took out from his arms a stack of gold books connected together by piercing holes in simple straw ropes, "I picked it up from a place on the bottom of the sea with great difficulty, and handed it to the small bucket, remember It must be handed over to him in front of Mrs. Gui, can it be done?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "Of course I can say a few more nice words for you."

The man smiled and said, "Then you calculated my affairs just now, so I won't record it in the account book."

Chen Ping took the golden book without looking at it, carefully put it in the sleeve, and glanced at the woman who seemed to be a short distance away, but was not in a small world at all. She was looking at the moonlit night on the sea, her expression was blurred, Chen Ping withdrew her gaze, Somewhat curious, he asked in a low voice: "You have such a high seniority and have lived for so many years, why do you only love Mrs. Gui and know that your way is hindered? It's the word love. It seems that you are still enjoying it."

The man was stabbed in the heart, and said angrily: "None of your business"

Chen Pingan was walking on the bank with a wine jug, and asked, "Madam Gui can't hear us talking?"

The man nodded.

Chen Pingan still lowered his voice and said, "Mrs. Gui's temperament is of course very good, but she shouldn't be too good-looking, right? The story between the two of you, tell me why you liked her in the first place, why she disliked you, and how to do it." Even if you like someone, how do you separate and combine? Where did you annoy Mrs. Gui? Love, I know very well"

The man rolled his eyes and said: "If you like a person, if you can tell a lot of ways, it's a fart liking. Talking to a layman like you is really boring. Xiao Shuitong is only willing to drink with you because he is blind."

Chen Ping grinned.

The man suddenly reached out and beat his chest vigorously, and vowed: "Also, Mrs. Gui is in my mind, that is the beauty of the country and the city, no one in the world can compare, you boy, be careful when you speak to me in the future, and dare to speak of her. I'll beat you up like a fool with a penny"

The man spat at Chen Pingan, "What kind of eyes can't see the slightest beauty or ugliness?"

The middle-aged Zhouzi turned the bow of the boat with a penny, and left alone by punting the boat, and went thousands of feet away in an instant.

Chen Ping patted his chest, and happily called Aunt Gui, "Come on, I asked the old man for a secret book from his master."

Chen Pingan didn't forget to say good things to the middle-aged man, and said a few words, "He is a generous man. He is a little too honest."

Mrs. Gui nodded and said with a smile, "Yeah. It's just that she doesn't look too good."

Chen Pingan swallowed, turned his head stiffly and looked at the person and boat that had long since disappeared, that man was really unkind

Mrs. Gui patted the boy on the head lightly, apparently not really angry, and said softly, "What are you looking at, let's go."

The two walked side by side along the mountain road, and Mrs. Gui asked casually: "In another month, we will reach our destination, Chen Pingan, do you have any acquaintances in the inverted mountain? If not, it will be a bit troublesome to go to the Great Wall of Sword Qi , the signs of our Fan family and Osmanthus Island are not very effective there. And in the inverted mountain, there are some things, even if you have money, there is really no way to let ghosts push them. Because"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Gui paused for a moment, and said helplessly: "That second son of Taoism has established some weird rules. For thousands of years, no one has ever been able to cross the thunder."

Chen Pingan didn't quite believe it, "There's never been a single one"

Mrs. Gui sighed: "Many people in history have tried it. Afterwards, the corpses and souls were thrown into a small thunderstorm on the upside-down mountain by a certain Taoist lord. Among those people, almost everyone is second to none. None of the children of wealthy families from the Nine Continents, the Zongmen’s immortal family, or the masters of all schools of thought came to a good end, and no one can change that Taoist’s decision.”

It seems that when the golden statue appeared in Jiaolonggou, the Taoist's real body far away on the inverted mountain also used magical powers to isolate the world, so that the sweet-scented osmanthus island could not see the truth.

Chen Pingan was worried, and roughly described the Taoist's appearance. Mrs. Gui looked surprised, "How did you recognize this Daoxuanshan Tianjun?"

Chen Ping grinned bitterly.

At this moment, a white rainbow pierced the night sky, flew over Osmanthus Island, and said, "Everyone on Osmanthus Island will be exempted from tolls if they climb upside down mountain. The Great Wall doesn’t cost money either.”

Chen Ping suddenly raised his arms, clenched his fists, and said with a smile: "He won."

One month later, passengers on Osmanthus Island can already see the majestic outline of the upside-down mountain in the air from a distance.

And above the sea, every short distance, there are all kinds of transcontinental ferries, which are magnificent in shape.

As time goes by, the inverted mountain becomes more and more majestic.

After Mrs. Gui nodded and agreed, Chen Pingan sneaked out of the Guimai courtyard before dawn, and finally sat on the high branch of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree on the top of the mountain, dangling his feet and looking up vigorously.

It is said that the inverted hanging mountain is the border pass between the two worlds.

He, Chen Pingan, is a pure martial artist, and he is not a master of remote travel who can control the wind, so he can only walk step by step or take a ferry.

It is already so far from Dali in the north of Aquarius Continent to Old Dragon City in the south.If you go from one world to another, it sounds far and far away.

Chen Pingan sat on a tall branch, smiling and throwing punches at will, his body twisted left and right.

Under the tree, a young woman who came to the top of the mountain early in the morning sighed and murmured, "I still think this guy is stupid."
