Chu Mao stood there, speechless, as if there were five thunders from the sky.

How could the green-shirted swordsman in front of me be the young man from back then?!

It has only been a few decades? At that time, I had a narrow encounter with the young swordsman. The two sides were... fighting back and forth, right?

 Besides, can't you, a master of swordsman who has reached the fifth realm, treat me, a little sea-viewing realm spirit, like a fart?

Why bother digging into old scores and ruining the Xian family's magnanimity?

Chen Ping'an moved a chair and sat down, and smiled with a maid: "Excuse me, miss, please help me get a pair of bowls and chopsticks."

Chu Mao was just about to reprimand the stupid goose who had no eyesight at all, but found that the swordsman was looking at him with a smile but not a smile. Chu Mao immediately said to the maid in a pleasant tone: "Remember to bring a few more jars of good wine. "

 After Chen Ping'an sat down, he asked casually: "You haven't had any contact with that Taoist Bailu?"

 It is hard not to remember Taoist Bailu who was one of Chu Mao’s allies fresh in his mind.

 Come quickly, run faster.

At that time, Chu Mao saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately called Qinshan God and Taoist White Deer to come to help. He never thought that Taoist Bailu, who had just landed on the veranda, touched the ground, tiptoed, and transformed a white deer with the dust in his hand. The mount came and went in a hurry, saying "Mother, sword cultivator!"

 In fact, Chen Pingan at that time could not be considered a swordsman.

 A flying sword, whether it has natal magical powers or not, is the most important thing.

 The first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year are the two flying swords that have been with Chen Pingan for the longest time. Until now, Chen Pingan has not been able to find his natal magical power.

Chu Mao became more and more worried and sighed, "Taoist Master Bailu, he was injured in the previous battle. Now he is traveling to other continents to relax. He said that after visiting Haoran Jiuzhou, he must go to the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

While looking at it, I opened my eyes, thinking it was shameless, and wanted to propose a toast to those sword immortals who died in the battle. The Taoist priest also said that he didn’t know how good the Great Wall of Sword Qi was before.

After fighting a hard battle and fighting a large area with one death, I realized that the Great Wall of Sword Qi, which I thought had nothing to do with eight poles, turned out to have helped Haoran the world to maintain peace for ten thousand years. How courageous and difficult it is."

In fact, when he returned to the capital of the ancient Yu Kingdom, Chu Mao had sent a group of assassins, two pure warriors and two wild cultivators from the mountains and rivers, to assassinate the young swordsman. As a result, the mud cows fell into the sea, the meat buns beat the dogs, and none of them went.

No reply.

So for so many years, Chu Mao has not gone to Rouge County of Caiyi Country to seek revenge. He has accepted his defeat and should not offend anyone but the sword cultivator.

Chen Ping'an smiled and asked: "With the great foundation of the Chu State Master, why didn't you take refuge in the wild monster tribe back then?"

Chu Mao smiled and said, "It's a spirit, not an animal."

 Chen Ping'an raised the wine bowl and said, "Take one."

Chu Mao quickly held the cup with both hands, waiting for the green-robed swordsman to drink first, then suddenly raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup.

Chu Mao filled up the wine again and hurriedly said something nice and polite, "If Chen Jianxian didn't have his own mountain top, he really couldn't get away, so why don't you do it like Fengxue Temple Wei?"

 The Great Sword Immortal is so dashing, otherwise he would go to the Great Wall of Sword Qi. With Chen Jianxian’s qualifications, he must be no worse than the Great Sword Immortal of Wei."

Chen Ping'an raised the wine bowl, leaned forward, bumped the wine glass in Chu Mao's hand, and said with a smile: "It's time to settle the grudges. After drinking today, let's just pretend that it's all over. But there is one thing, I have to thank you.

.”

 It means that if you go to the Baofengzhai and pick up money, you will have a good time.

The young swordsman didn't say anything, and Chu Mao certainly didn't dare to ask any more questions.

 Finally, when the young swordsman smiled and said goodbye, Chu Mao still had the illusion that he was in another world.

On a secluded hilltop near a mountain god temple, with a wide view and suitable for enjoying the scenery, three women spread a piece of colorful lichen and filled it with wine, various pastries, fruits and fruits.

As an old saying goes, beauties in the mountains are either ghosts or monsters.

Of course, there is also the goddess who is most desired by down-and-out scholars.

The girl was so happy that she rolled happily on the blanket.

 Haha, everything is really difficult at the beginning, but everything becomes easy once you get started.

　　I have become prosperous, I am finally prosperous, I am finally rich, and I don’t have to depend on others anymore.

It was Wei Wei, the goddess of the mountain, who came here to drink with two maids from the temple.

In the years when I was just promoted to the Mountain Goddess, all my family wealth was spent on building ancestral temples. How could I see how wealthy and wealthy people were spending money? I had no experience at the beginning. I was one of the four evil spirits of Shushui who was used to cutting paths and robbing wealth. How could I know that?

How to be the Mountain Goddess? This is not the first time for a young lady to sit in a sedan chair, so I didn't even think about saving money.

It was so humiliating and outrageous that she had to temporarily borrow incense from the city god to maintain the scenery. Because incense had too much debt, the county god called her aunt when he saw her, which was even worse than her, saying that he had already tightened his pants.

She was not pretending to live a life with a belt, and she was indeed implicated, but the city god of the city was not kind enough. He refused to accept her. When she arrived at the Chenghuang Temple of the Yizhou Yinming Administration Office, any official in the yamen could dump her.

Face.

 Hands and rivers and officialdom are really difficult to get along with.

　　When Wei Wei was still a female ghost, she once complained that in this world, it was difficult for people to live and it was difficult to be a ghost.

I never imagined that I would be able to become a mountain goddess who enjoys incense, but I still have difficulties in everything.

Things took a turn for the better. After the visit from the blue-shirted swordsman, the mountain temple began to turn around.

So much so that Wei Wei privately named the section of mountain road adjacent to the ancestral temple "the watershed."

Chen Ping'an took advantage of Wei Wei's absence in the mountain temple and sat on the long bluestone slab outside the temple.

Listening to the Mountain Goddess and the two goddesses describing the twists and turns of her trip to the capital from a distance, it was like listening to someone tell a story.

It turns out that the three of them "carefully" selected a scholar who came to Beijing to take the exam. They really spent a lot of time and made people wait. If Chen Ping'an hadn't warned them earlier, or if they had just stared at the reading seeds in their own mountain world,

It is estimated that the mountain temple will be too tight at this time to open the door to the problem.

 In the beginning, the scholar didn’t care about walking on mountain roads at all, and would only go around the mountain god temple. What to do, just follow Chen Ping’an’s method, go down the mountain to dream!

According to Wei Wei's estimation, the scholar's ability in imperial examination preparation is not bad. According to his own literary fortune, he is from the same background as Jinshi. As long as he does not act stupidly in the examination room, it is certain that he will be a serious candidate in the examination.

It is a little bit uncertain that he will become a second-class scholar, but it is not completely impossible. If he adds the literary luck given by Wei Wei in one fell swoop and lights a red landscape lantern behind the scholar, he is indeed expected to become a second-class scholar.

 But that scholar’s ​​appearance was really a little bit rough, and he was crooked and cracked.

Wei Wei’s maid was reluctant at first. She thought the scholar was too ugly and said she really... couldn’t keep her mouth shut.

Wei Wei was so angry that she grabbed her ears and scolded her for being ignorant and just dreaming. What kind of words did she say? It's not like he wanted you to have a dream with him.

After a bad dream, it was fortunate that the scholar had encountered such a thing for the first time in his life, otherwise there would be many flaws. Wei Wei herself felt miserable. Later, she gritted her teeth and asked for a landscape genealogy. The mountain god came down from the mountain and tried his best to

Departing from the waterway, we cautiously walked to the capital. The person Chen Ping'an called "a certain important official in the temple" was not mentioned clearly, but both parties knew very well that Wei Wei was very familiar with this guy who had already been in power. However,

When Wei Wei became the Mountain Goddess, the two parties had a tacit understanding to draw clear lines between each other.

That guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he doesn't care about old friendships. He goes around and around and talks in official style. The imperial examination is a major matter of the country. It is not appropriate to interfere and break the rules.

 Wei Wei, who was originally reluctant to mention Chen Ping'an, had no choice but to use the name of this swordsman.

 Okay.

 Chen Pingan is simply the best panacea in the world.

Although the guy only said "Don't have high hopes" at the time, Wei Wei still had some worldliness. The scholar was a Jinshi, and it was almost certain. As for the first, first or third place, Wei Wei really didn't dare to expect it.

, as long as you don’t end up at the bottom among Jinshi.

As a result, the scholar directly won the top two rankings. Of course, the scholar was just dreaming.

Wei Wei and the two maids, after hearing the great news, felt the same way.

As soon as the new scholar named on the gold medal had time, without saying a word, he rushed straight to the mountain temple, offered incense and kowtowed, his eyes filled with tears, and he was extremely pious.

It was at that moment, watching the wisp of essence incense rising in the temple, that Wei Wei suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

 It seemed like I understood a series of truths in an instant, and truly understood how to be the god of mountains and rivers.

 Chen Ping'an was sitting on a bluestone bench next to an ancient pine tree, holding a sword gourd and drinking wine slowly.

Wei Wei had a big laugh, Mr. Chen, who cares about his beauty, speaks those slang words more fluently than us. He really can’t be judged by his appearance.

He then casually mentioned some of the deeds in the landscape travel journal, and Wei Wei burst into laughter.

 Chen Pingan rolled his eyes.

 I don’t have the same knowledge as her.

As expected, many fist-sized red lanterns were hung in the landscape surrounding the ancestral temple. These are small and exquisite symbols of the protection of the mountain gods.

 There are both big and small households, as well as those in small alleys.

 A good cause, as long as it can really blossom and bear fruit, is likely to bloom.

 One thing goes well and everything goes well.

On the border between the two countries, there are no longer the Four Evils of Shushui State who are causing trouble and harming people. It is a scenic place with beautiful mountains and rivers, with both high mountains and ridges suitable for exploring and easy-to-travel places for enjoying the scenery. Otherwise, Wei Wei would not have chosen it.

This place was chosen as the site of the ancestral temple. In addition, there are many strange stories and landscape stories here. There is also an official road within the boundaries of the ancestral temple. The world has become peaceful again. Scholars and women who go on outings and enjoy the mountains and rivers are here.

There are more and more people from the world of martial arts, wandering scholars, merchants and escorts, all three religions and nine streams, and there are more and more incense in mountain temples.

A devout Buddhist pilgrim came to the temple and donated a considerable sum of money for sesame oil.

So Wei Wei built a temple on his property. It was not large in scale, but he also specially invited the temple's blessings to renovate the dilapidated Buddha statues that had been collected early, or gilded them, or painted them. In short, the big pilgrim donated them.

Money, even a tael of silver, is not greedy.

And the big pilgrims in that city made a special trip to burn incense on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and waited here on the fourteenth day. After seeing the temple, they were very satisfied. Rich people may be confused about other things, but
