The white clouds are like formations, and the mountains are as deep as the sea. There are no guests here, just a few glasses of wine.

Whether flowers are blooming, birds are flying, the wind and smoke are clear, and the characters are all in the color of snow.

Chen Ping'an came to Huang Xi and Xiu Niang. Behind him, higher up, there was a girl in a mink hat and a handsome monk with an unfamiliar face, wearing a green robe, slowly walking down the Shinto steps.

Deng Jianping quickly climbed the mountain and came to Chen Pingan's side. Deng Jianping was obviously very nervous. Huang Xi found it interesting. When he usually talks to his sister and brother-in-law, isn't your kid quite young and witty? Now he has become mute.

, in a nest?

Chen Ping'an didn't speak, and Deng Jianping became more and more embarrassed. Huang Xi saw that the atmosphere was awkward and couldn't turn his elbows outward, so he joked, "Chen Jianxian is so familiar with the elegant words of Luzhou, our northern capital.

I can’t hear the slightest trace of Aquarius Island elegant dialect or old Dali Mandarin accent.”

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "We are all happy to meet each other. Where is the hometown? But in the final analysis, I am not as sincere as Brother Huang, so when I check out, I reciprocate my registration number."

The embroiderer hurriedly said, "Chen Jianxian is right. When you go out, you should be careful and speak only a few words to people you meet. You can't just throw your whole heart into everyone."

Deng Jianping nodded, deeply convinced.

Huang Xi's face was full of melancholy, "My dear wife, you are so unkind, you are burning bridges across rivers. I am the only one who dares to admit that I am a confused outsider?"

Xie Gou and Qing Tong came here to get together, and Xiu Niang asked in a low voice, "Chen Jianxian, who is this girl?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Grandmaster Deng just calls me by my name. Her name is Xie Gou, and she is our Luolu Mountain Genealogy Monk. Of course, we are definitely not father and daughter."

Xie Gou rubbed his mink hat, grinned and introduced himself, "My name is Xie Gou. Why don't I mention it by name? It's a false name for an external object. You can just call me Gouzi from now on. I am the second in command of Luo Luoshan."

The worshiper, like the mountain master and Deng Jianping, is a sword cultivator, but I entered the mountain later, it seems that among the genealogical cultivators, I am a little earlier than your brother."

Although Huang Xi was always regarded as a wild cultivator in the mountains and rivers in Luzhou, Beiju, in fact, he had a rich background and origins.

Otherwise, he would not have suggested that his brother-in-law Deng Jianping cross the continent to practice Taoism in Wutong Mountain, because Huang Xi knew the true identity of the "Qingyu Patriarch" and his relationship with the Demon Suppressing Tower.

Huang Xi said from his heart, "Huang Xi, a monk from Luzhou, Beiju, and his Taoist companion Deng Jianqiao, have met senior Qingtong. Our original intention is to let Deng Jianping come here to find a seat in the ancestral hall."

Qing Tong just nodded in greeting, with a cold and distant expression, and casually made a pun, "The temple is small. The vegetarian food may be bland, so it may not be delicious."

Don't look at Qing Tong's lack of momentum when it comes to Xiao Mo and Bai Jing. After all, he is a time-honored brand with ten thousand years of experience in the Ascending Realm. Not to mention he is the owner of one of the nine Xiongzhen Towers in the world, and he is even more closely related to Lao Guan.

The Lord has been a neighbor for countless years. In the eyes of Qing Tong, how do the Huang Xi and Deng siblings still need to be condescended to?

Xie Gou Da Bao said, "I worship my master and practice my sword well. If you encounter any difficulties in building the road, if the mountain master is not around, you can ask me. You can also often go to the Sword Worship Platform, one of the mountains of the Luopo Mountain Domain.

, find Gan Tang, oh, just worship Gan Tang. When you get to Luo Po Mountain, you will know his identity. Anyway, the little old man is also a sword cultivator, his realm is acceptable, his Taoist power is average, but his ability to preach is not

Well, patience is a rare advantage in him."

Chen Ping'an had a minor accident. It was rare for Xie Gou to be so concerned about other people's spiritual practice. The old deaf boy had to suffer a lot in order to learn some sword skills from her.

I remember that when we first arrived at Luopo Mountain, the old deaf boy was still reluctant in every possible way. He was afraid that the young hermit official would ask him to shoulder the burden, which would cause extra social affairs and delay his cultivation.

It's good now, I heard that Gan Chongfeng has moved directly to Huaying Peak to teach Taoism. Instead, I started to worry that those Taoist embryos have no way to study and are not brave enough to break through the practice.

Just because Deng Jianping's visit to the mountains to learn Taoism made Xie Gou think of the earth on earth thousands of years ago. Many monsters who had opened up their spiritual wisdom and were able to shape themselves almost all had a pure and unyielding Taoist heart.

Heart, you want to learn from the masters of those who have attained the Tao. Many monsters have only heard of a certain mountain or the name of a certain Taoist temple, and they only know a general direction. They will make a wish and resolutely go there.

, The mountains and rivers are far away, and the Tao lies there, so we have to work hard. This journey often takes several years or even decades. The journey is often extremely difficult and dangerous, and finally we have the opportunity to meet the Taoist priest who has been asking him to help solve the puzzle.

It is a journey of hard work that consumes endless effort. Even if you are lucky enough not to be expelled and be left on the mountain by the Qi Refiner, the matter of cultivating Taoism is just the beginning. Most of them are not registered for the time being. Can you be accepted into the sect?

The wall still needs to be observed for a long time. After protecting the mountain for decades or even a hundred years, it may be possible for a Taoist priest to teach you a few words of true secrets.

So Xie Gou’s first impression of swordsman Deng Jianping was not bad, and he would choose his master.

Being able to choose a master depends not only on vision but also on luck. This is a very real skill. We need to know that in ancient times, how many demon monks who sincerely followed the Tao ended up miserably. In vain, they became some

A mountaineering "Taoist food" for those with evil intentions?

The embroiderer wiped the corners of her eyes, focused her voice into a thread, and murmured softly, "Fortunately, all the hard work has come to an end. A rather bad beginning, but finally a happy ending."

In fact, everything that the woman does except her brother, her own martial arts training, and all the matters on the mountain top are handled extremely carefully. Only the matters related to Jian Ping are trivial and trivial, and it is easy to lose ground and get entangled.

It was so serious, as if she had lost her soul, that she would look to Huang Xi for advice.

Huang Xi helplessly reminded her in her heart, "Hey, Xiu Niang, where are you now? I just became a master. Jian Ping still has a long way to go from now on. He only said that he would go to Luo Po Mountain and practice sword practice with Chen Pingan."

, there are many more things to pay attention to than practicing at home, such as how to get along with those classmates who are already well-established and famous students, can they be harmonious, will they be excluded? Can Jian Ping adapt to it?

The family tradition of Luolu Mountain, whether there is an elder relationship or not, usually treats people less casually than in the home dojo. We know each other well in the past, so naturally we don’t have to worry about saying something wrong or inappropriate, and the other person may miss him for a long time. Besides,

Well, our side is just a hilltop where there are no more than a hundred people. It is far inferior to the hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Luolu Mountain. There are many experts with different temperaments. Let’s just talk about this girl Xie. She can serve as the second enshrinement of Luolu Mountain at the foot of the mountain.

In the store, can we imagine her true identity? Things like this will have to be considered and figured out by Jian Ping in the future. He needs to be able to accommodate others and adapt to the environment entirely on his own."

The embroiderer complained to herself and said, "It's still my fault. I didn't teach enough principles in the past. It's also your fault. As a brother-in-law, I'm not close to my brother-in-law. I can't have a few drinks throughout the year..."

Huang Xi's head was agitated when he heard this. I had never gone to drink with him less often, and I had to give him face. Only once did we both drink well, but Deng Jianping sat on the ground after drinking, acting like a brother-in-law.

I could only squat on the ground and drink with you. The brat was so drunk that he still kept his momentum and said, "If I dare to let my sister down, I will chop me to death. Even if I can't chop me to death, I will die on the top of your mountain. It's a Chinese New Year."

During the night vigil, Huang Xi ended up carrying his brother-in-law on his back, and even had "nectar from heaven" spat on his head. When his brother-in-law was treated like this, Huang Xi himself felt that he was sincere.

The embroiderer whispered, "Husband, it's hard for you."

Huang Xi smiled and said, "Xiu Niang, if you want to make up for the past, you don't have enough, just ask me to get it. If you feel you owe something, you can pay me back in your next life."

"I will be an uncle then, and I will let you grind ink on your red sleeves every day to add fragrance, and I will also serve you tea and water to help wash your feet. Haha, I am happy just thinking about it..."

The embroiderer elbowed her again, and then started to worry again, "But Jian Ping went on a long trip alone, with no one around to take care of him. Will he be wronged when he gets to Luo Po Mountain?"

"If a cultivator wants to gain something, he should go through countless hardships. Don't be anxious. In short, let's take it one step at a time. You have to believe in my vision of good and bad people, and you can also believe in Jian Ping's Taoism.

heart of."

Huang Xi then gave an attributive sentence, "What's more, when Jian Ping went to that Luo Po Mountain, what he really wanted to learn was not just Chen Ping'an's swordsmanship."

Xie Gou seemed to be afraid that the mountain owner would regret it, so he said tentatively, "Sister Deng Jianqiao and brother-in-law Huang Xi are both very good people, especially this one named Xiu Niang, who is naive. I believe that the character of this child Jian Ping is not that different."

Where are you going? The owner of the mountain picked it up and missed it! Is this called buying a pig to watch a pen?"

Which pot does Qing Tong not mention? "Yin Guan is able to recruit disciples here. Doesn't Wutong Mountain have some credit for naming it as a courtesy?"

Xie Gou grinned and muttered, "It's bad luck. I'll never come here again."

Qingtong felt relieved. From now on,

It would be best if you two fellow Taoists are not invited to come.

Chen Pingan changed the subject and said with a smile, "Comrade Lao Qing, please make some space for us to sit down and chat for a few words. Then let Deng Jianping perform a simple apprenticeship ceremony, and we will no longer disturb the Taoist monks."

Qingtong opened all the restrictions on the landscape and found a quiet place in the private dojo.

In the room, the host Qing Tong and the guest Chen Ping'an sat on the upper seat together. Xie Gou sat cross-legged on the chair. Opposite him were Deng Jianping and three others.

Chen Ping'an was sitting upright, and he only had to drink a bowl of apprenticeship tea from Deng Jianping to register his name as master and apprentice. After that, he still needed to change to the Jise Peak Patriarch Hall and go through the process of recording his name on the golden and jade genealogy.

Chen Ping'an looked soft and said slowly, "Jianping, when we become our masters later, we will have the status of masters and disciples on the mountain. As a preacher, my requirements for you do not say what realm you must reach in the future, so

You don’t have to feel pressure in this regard. I only have one thing to say. You must remember that after you follow me into the mountains to practice, you must sincerely follow the Tao and work hard to practice swordsmanship. In addition, if you feel that you are not good at dealing with people, you can live in seclusion in the mountains and concentrate on practicing swordsmanship.

. Occasionally leave the dojo and go out to relax, whether it is at the top of Zhufeng Mountain or in Huaihuang County. No matter who you meet on the road, no matter who the person is or what their status is, just have a rough etiquette. As for your fellow brothers and sisters

, there is no need to rush to meet, and when you meet, there is no need to deliberately ponder their thoughts or treat others, just be yourself."

Huang Xi glanced at Xiu Niang, as if to say, look, Chen Jianxian has already thought of what you are worried about.

Xiu Niang, who had been subconsciously clutching her dress, felt like she had taken a reassurance. She just felt like she was in a dream. Jian Ping was relieved of her knot and recognized her master?

Xie Gou immediately spoke up and said, "These are not polite words, they are the sincerity of our mountain master. For example, there is Tao Jianxian in the Qingping Sword Sect who is in the Jindan realm. He is in the same realm as Jianping. He was born as a wild cultivator in Shanze. He has no

He has a bad temper and loves to scold people. Jiang Shangzhen, Mi Yu, my Xiaomo, and even the owner of the mountain were all taught a few words by him in person. Tao Jianxian is still alive and kicking every day now. Hehe.

, Now that we are all family members, I will tell you more about Tao Jianxian’s feats. Last time Qingping Sword Sect held the opening ceremony of the mountain, Tao Jianxian was the last one to get up and met our mountain master on the mountain road.

He spoke straightforwardly and persuaded that there should be less red tape for this kind of ceremony, otherwise he would take a nap in the ancestral hall and sleep in his cage. The mountain master had no choice but to nod obediently and say okay, okay."

Chen Ping'an smiled and explained, "The story of what happened has been polished a bit by Xie Gou, and it is a bit exaggerated. Tao Wen doesn't just curse people when there is nothing wrong. Most of them happen for a reason."

The embroiderer was dumbfounded when she heard that. That Jindan realm sword cultivator couldn't be so bold. How heartless would he be to be so generous? How many lives do you have to dare to curse like this?

Huang Xi laughed from the bottom of her heart and said, "Ms. Xiu, I can see that Xie Cixi has a good impression of you. Maybe this is called eye compatibility."

The woman then thought, even if Xie Cixi used an exaggeration, no matter how inexperienced Jian Ping is, how can we be a better person than Tao Jianxian?

Qing Tong coughed and reminded that this was Yin Guan recruiting disciples. In a sense, every word he said was preaching and teaching skills. You, Bai Jing, an outsider, should not interrupt, it is inappropriate.

Xie Gou rolled his eyes, it was really bad luck. However, Qing Tong thought that when he met the two of them, his fate seemed to be in conflict, which would be his downfall.

Chen Pingan said sternly, "Deng Jianping, before you formally become a master, as far as I'm concerned, it's not just the master who chooses his apprentice, the apprentice can also choose his master. The rule that one day is a master and a lifetime is a father is not so natural."

.If one day you feel that the two ways are not compatible, you can get together and have a good time. Don’t be too rigid about the master-disciple status, and don’t think too much about the human world outside of practicing Taoism and sword practice. Of course, you still have to go through the necessary procedures at the Zushi Hall.

Yes, remember not to leave without saying hello."

In fact, both the master and the apprentice were of similar age, but no one here thought that Chen Ping'an was putting on airs, and Deng Jianping always held his breath and listened with an open mind.

Until this moment, Deng Jianping's mind was still full of confusion. Hearing these words, he suddenly became frightened and said in a trembling voice, "Unless Chen Jianxian and Luo Luoshan insist on driving me away, I will never leave the genealogy and retreat."

Yi Yi said, even if you drive me away, I will still take my bedding and stay at the foot of the mountain, waiting for Chen Jianxian to change his mind."

Chen Pingan smiled and said nothing.

Xie Gou was overjoyed, "This guy knows how to take advantage and knows how to find a way out at the foot of the mountain. Our gatekeeper at Luopo Mountain is Taoist Priest Xianwei."

Qing Tong felt pity for this young sword cultivator. Until now, he still looked like Chen Jianxian with a sense of distance.

Chen Ping'an said, "Before I hand you the apprenticeship tea, Jian Ping, please go and wait outside the door. I have something to say to your sister and brother-in-law."

Deng Jianping hurriedly stood up, walked to the door, closed the door gently, and stood in the corridor as if facing the wall, pursed his lips. After a long time, he came back to his senses and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Xie Gou raised his chin and signaled to Qing Tong that you are a shitty outsider and you should leave the house quickly.

Qingtong, a landowner, had no choice but to stand up and make room for a group of outsiders.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Friends Qing Tong don't need to avoid suspicion. You are a registered worshiper of the Qingping Sword Sect. At this moment, everyone in the house counts as one of your own."
