At dusk, there were large fire clouds, and there was a river on the earth, winding like a golden snake.

The three sword lights dragged out long flowing fireflies, and wherever they went, there was a thunderous roar in the sea of ​​clouds.

Deng Jianping learned the luck method of the Eighteen Stops of Sword Qi neither quickly nor slowly. Not fast, compared to the outstanding swordsman geniuses at the Great Wall of Sword Qi, but not slow, probably because Chen Ping'an was at the bottom.

Chen Ping'an did not regard Xie Gou as an outsider. She was a typical person who knew how to do it as soon as she heard it, and she became proficient in it in a short time. She quickly practiced it several times, and her sword energy moved without any stagnation.

In terms of sword training qualifications, Ning Yao and Xie Gou are indeed unique among geniuses.

After Xie Gou learned this skill, he praised the foundation of the Great Wall of Sword Qi. This put pressure on Deng Jianping, who thought he had not yet truly mastered the technique, and asked Chen Pingan in his heart if his qualifications were not good enough.

Chen Ping'an was speechless for a moment. His qualifications were inferior to those of you, but you wanted to compete with Xie Cixi. He comforted the newly recruited disciple with a few words, saying that there was no need to be impatient, and that he should proceed step by step, like arranging troops in formation, and fight steadily.

On the way to ride the wind, Xie Gou was a little envious of the green bamboo stick, "Mountain Master, can you also give me a hiking stick? We are all people who write landscape travel notes every day."

Chen Pingan declined politely: "No need, you are not a nosy person."

Xie Gou did not give up and vowed: "I can take care of it more in the future."

Chen Ping'an said bluntly: "Is there a possibility that you might as well just ignore the noisy things you encounter?"

Xie Gou was a little depressed, he hummed, and stretched out his fists, making countless holes or straight lines in the sea of ​​clouds.

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "If you are really greedy, when you go out alone and feel that you have taken care of one or two other things, you can ask me for it when you come back to the mountain."

However, Chen Ping'an didn't think Xie Gou would be interested in this thing. After all, there are so many people, things and things that I miss today and forget about when I wake up tomorrow.

Chen Pingan turned to Deng Jianping and said: "We will take a short rest at Qingjing Mountain, and then we will continue on our way. We will neither cross the sea with a sword nor take a ferry. I will teach you an ancient secret three-mountain talisman that can instantly

The time is endless, and you can travel across continents. You are now in the golden elixir realm, and it may be a bit difficult, but with me and Xie Gou by your side, the problem won’t be too big. When you land at the Nanyue of Aquarius Continent, your soul will be stirred.

It just happens to be able to examine the subtleties of your soul and the yang and yin spirits, and see if there are any gaps that need to be checked and filled."

After imparting the talisman and the know-how, Chen Ping'an carefully explained to Deng Jianping the rules and taboos on the use of the Three Mountain Talisman. Finally, he told him that the Jian Qi Shiba Stop and the Three Mountain Talisman are both Luoluo Mountain's secrets and should not be disclosed to others easily.

Deng Jianping naturally kept it in his mind. It was as if before entering the mountain, he only felt that the mountains were majestic. After entering the mountain, he realized that there were gods on the top of the mountain.

Xie Gou said from the bottom of his heart: "The mountain master really missed it. Deng Jianping's qualifications are average, but he is very similar to the ancient Taoist priests. He has a tenacious heart for the Tao and a pure heart for attaining the Tao. As long as he gets enlightened one day, he will be able to practice swordsmanship quickly."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Then you can give me some more advice in the future. Anyway, I want to kidnap Chai Wu to be my successor. If I have the chance, I will let Jian Ping listen. If I teach two people the same content, I will make a profit."

Xie Gou knew that his mountain master was embarrassed by his direct descendant, and he laughed and said: "The mountain master can't teach geniuses, and I can't teach those who are not geniuses. They are quite complementary. A down-and-out mountain cow."

Chen Ping'an laughed and said, "I've seen flatterers before, but I've never seen you flatter me with such a tricky angle."

Although Deng Jianping couldn't hear their exchanges, he could see their subtle expressions from the corner of his eye. He guessed that Master and Xie Cixi were talking about something big. Deng Jianping sighed again, the atmosphere in Luolu Mountain is so good.

Xie Gou asked for no reason, "Mountain Master, you are still so young, and you already have Zhao Shuxia as a close disciple of boxing. Isn't Deng Jianping the last direct disciple you will receive in kendo?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "Now there are seven direct disciples. Let's try to have more than ten direct disciples one day. No matter how many there are, there is no need."

Cui Dongshan, Pei Qian, Cao Qinglang, Zhao Shuxia, Guo Zhujiu, Ning Ji, Deng Jianping.

Among the seven students and disciples, only Pei Qian and Zhao Shuxia were actually learning boxing from Chen Pingan.

Chen Ping'an thought of something and felt that he must remind Deng Jianping, "You have a junior brother named Cui Dongshan, who is the first master of the Qingping Sword Sect. In the future, if he says that he will protect you for a long time, or something like that,

I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you, about life aspirations and so on. Ignore him and just move out of Master. You can also file a complaint with Senior Sister Pei and Senior Brother Cao."

Although Deng Jianping didn't know what was going on, he still agreed honestly.

During this period, Chen Pingan received a letter from Feijian.

Xie Gou probed his head and glanced at the content. It was a secret letter from his good neighbor Yeyou Shenjun, asking Chen Pingan to give an exact date as soon as possible.

Xie Gou felt a surge of resentment at the end of the letter. It turned out to be Wei Yeyou who reminded him not to delay any longer. If you really want to be determined, there is no harm in delaying. Please tell Shanzhu Chen to tell His Majesty the Emperor clearly,

Don't let him, Wei Bo, be the one who doesn't want to please both sides.

In short, as long as Chen Ping'an has set a date, the Dali imperial court will immediately start arranging the specific itinerary. The position of national advisor that has been vacant for many years and the old chair in the imperial study room in the capital will be confirmed.

's new owner.

Chen Ping'an silently put the secret letter into his sleeve, and Xie Gou asked tentatively: "Don't the mountain master reply to the letter on the spot? You can just write a few perfunctory sentences. It's not easy for Wei Yeyou to blame."

Mr. Zhu has said something fair, Wei Shenyou is like a long-term laborer for us in Luopo Mountain. The key is that the landlord never pays him any wages.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "We can finalize the date as soon as we return to Fuyaolu Dojo. Oh, we are all the people who traveled to Shenjun that night, so what's the rush?"

It must be before the fifth day of May, no matter how late it is, it will never be later than this day.

Xie Gou suddenly realized that it was as if the mountain owner had tried to persuade Wei Bo and the Zhongtu Confucian Temple to register the Night Tour God's Number, but the result was that?

Chen Ping'an said: "You know the Dali imperial court made a request, hoping that I would be a little more pompous and bring a few people who can fight. But now I am hesitant to bring Jian Ping with them."

Xie Gou habitually frowns slightly and tilts his head. What does it mean?

Chen Ping'an couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this expression. In fact, this is the signature move of the kid in green on Luolu Mountain.

Zhu Lian's evaluation is spot on. The silly son of a landlord's family has a kind of crystal clear ignorance in his eyes.

Chen Ping'an explained: "What happened in the past is Lao Huangli, and what will happen in the future is the most important thing. Pei Qian, Ning Ji, Chai Wu, and Jian Ping are the future of Luo Luoshan."

Xie Gou did enter the mountain late, so he missed the last visit to Luolu Mountain to view Zhengyang Mountain. This time, he couldn’t miss it again. Xiao Mili often talked about this in the mountain, and was very proud, saying that she was going to the top of such and such a mountain.

, his arms crossed his chest, his face full of seriousness, he felt that he was at least one foot tall at that time!

In Luo Luo Mountain, Xie Gou would not only wander around with the white-haired boy, no matter it was a sudden rain, the new moon was full of flowers, or the moon was like frost, and the crescent moon was like a hook, he only knew the girl in the mink hat who didn't know what home was.

He also likes to chat with the little girl in black, listen to the kid in Tsing Yi's unpretentious bragging, and go shopping in the mountainous market with the girl in pink skirt.

Landing at the edge of Qingjing Mountain, Chen Pingan slowed down and walked towards the main mountain where Qinghu Palace is located, allowing Deng Jianping to regain his composure.

Chen Ping'an was an old acquaintance at Qinghu Palace, and soon a Taoist priest from the Lower Court went to the main mountain palace to report the news.

In the entire Qingjing mountain area, foreign Taoists are allowed to build grass and Qingqing on the peaks. They only need to prepare some local products during the holidays and discuss it with the Qinghu Palace.

In the early years, before the Taoist priests from Qinghu Palace moved to Aquarius Island, they were not so easy to talk to. After moving back to Qingjing Mountain, many of their actions became more impressive.

Taoism has always placed more emphasis on nourishing the body than the mind. On the way to the mountains, it is common to see Taoist priests doing Qi-nurturing Kungfu to exercise the body. The movements may seem slow, but they are completed in one go. Visitors, whether they are practicing martial arts or practicing Qi, will find it pleasing to the eye.

Deng Jianping hesitated to speak, Xie Gou couldn't stand this, the elders were really unhappy, so she wanted to make some remarks.

Chen Ping'an guessed Deng Jianping's thoughts and asked with a smile: "Do you want to ask about Cao Ci?"

Deng Jianping looked embarrassed, but nodded honestly and admitted the matter.

Xie Gou gave a thumbs up and praised: "A heroic man, a true hero. He just became a disciple and asked his master about someone who had lost several games in a row. Why, do you want to help the master avenge him? Big ambition!"

Deng Jianping became more and more ashamed.

Chen Pingan thought for a while and said: "We don't need to know Cao Ci, meet and talk to him, let alone ask about boxing, we all know that he must be a proud man."

Deng Jianping nodded. A pure martial artist, one after another, his deeds are completely equivalent to those of immortality. Outsiders can imagine Cao Ci's demeanor.

Chen Ping'an added, "After you get to know Cao Ci really well, you will be surprised how he can be so arrogant and calm."

Deng Jianping was surprised that his master actually respected Cao Ci who was his age so much. He remembered that in his hometown of Luzhou in Beiju, martial arts fighters would not admit defeat even if they were convinced.

The common sense of the martial artist Cao Ci, the open-mindedness of the sword cultivator Chou Miao, the gentle pragmatism of the Confucian scholar, etc... Chen Ping'an would sincerely admire them, and of course, the land wine fairy Liu Jinglong.

Xie Gou patted his heart gently, "Haha, Mountain Master, so to speak, Cao Ci is very similar to me. He doesn't show off his appearance when he goes out and is approachable."

Deng Jianping was in a strange mood and plucked up the courage to ask: "Master and Cao Ci are both enemies and friends on the road to martial arts?"

Chen Pingan was silent for a long time. Regarding this matter, he confided his feelings for the first time and said slowly: "I want to win against him, but I am afraid that he will lose."

Deng Jianping couldn't understand Chen Ping'an's thoughts for a while. Xie Gou helped the mink hat and explained on his behalf: "I really want to win. I am a martial arts student. Who doesn't want to be the first and who is willing to be the second best. Who doesn't want to win?"

, I am afraid that the highest point of martial arts is already under my feet, and that is the end. If I am strong, there are still stronger ones at the higher places in front of me, and this avenue has not yet reached the top, and I can continue walking. I don’t really like to learn boxing.

, I can’t say such a thing.”

Deng Jianping was not stupid after all. He quickly noticed a bit of "linguistic problem" and asked: "I am number one, can't I continue to reach higher levels of martial arts?"

Chen Pingan smiled and nodded.

Xie Gou sighed, "So you are not a martial artist. You practice Taoism on your own and seek martial arts from outside. A world without old enemies and bitter rivals would be boring. You will become an adult bullying a bunch of children."

Chen Pingan said frankly: "In the final analysis, I still don't have the confidence to win against Cao Ci."

Xie Gou turned sideways and walked away, raising his hands like Xiaomi Li and raising his thumbs towards his mountain master, "Massive!"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Don't be too jealous when drinking."

Xie Gou burst out laughing. Wei Xian was a bit amused. He often said that Chai Wu's aptitude was as good as his ability to drink, which made Chai Wu reach the Yupu realm in one step, but he was more confused than anyone else.

I heard that Shanzhu Chen from Luopo Mountain had come to visit again. The Taoist priests in Qinghu Palace suddenly felt complicated. It seems that the master of the palace has not started refining elixirs recently.

The owner of the temple, Lu Yong, was fishing beside the old dragon pond with a Taoist boy who was his disciple. Zhao Zhu, a disciple named "Xianxiu", came here to report the news.

Zhao Zhu is the proud disciple that Lao Zhenren has high hopes for, and the little Taoist boy is Zhao Zhu's most valued personal disciple. The child was personally brought up the mountain during his travels a few years ago. He is kind-hearted and innocent. He has been practicing Taoism in the mountain for only five years.

Lu Yong often taught Taoism in person, saying that the child was very patient and suitable for alchemy. The little Taoist boy had a simple mind, and the Taoist priests in the temple all said that the master had an irresistible relationship with the young hermit official, and since the master became the guest of Luopo Mountain, it would be natural for him to do so.

He was very close to Chen Jianxian. Being held by his master, the child raised his head and asked seriously, "Master, do we still have the elixirs in stock in the temple? Don't let Master Chen return empty-handed."

Lu Yong looked embarrassed and gave a rough explanation: There are many rules in alchemy, and one must pay attention to the right time, place, and people. If any of them are missing, a clever woman will be in a difficult situation.

Zhao Zhu gently patted the child's bun and stopped talking.

The old man twisted his beard and pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "The child happens to be with Pindao at this moment, and Yin Guan happens to go up the mountain at this time. It is the fate of this child. You and I don't have to be pretentious."

Zhao Zhu nodded when he heard this, and the gloom between his brows faded a bit.
