Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Three Lights in the World(2/3)
Just like when I first took a look at that well.
Although he knew that he was in the Lotus Flower Blessed Land, Chen Pingan was still puzzled as to how and when to enter.
As long as the old Taoist doesn't show up for a day, Chen Pingan will never know the answer.
Zhong Qiu is a national advisor. After a great war, the situation in the world has become treacherous. There are still countless things for him to decide. Today I came to visit Chen Pingan. Firstly, to prevent misunderstandings. Secondly, I came here out of selfish motives.
I wanted to relax and take a breath. So after finishing what was necessary to talk, Zhong Qiu said goodbye and left.
When leaving, Chen Ping'an apologized: "I can't leave the Lotus Flower Blessed Land for the time being."
Zhong Qiu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, you Chen Ping'an don't look like a banished immortal anyway."
After Zhong Qiu left, he walked alone on the cold street with a sad expression.
If the first banished immortal that he and Yu Zhenyi met back then was Chen Ping'an, would it have a different ending now?
Chen Pingan picked up the small bench and walked into the dark alley.
Chen Pingan suddenly narrowed his eyes.
A skinny little girl stood outside the courtyard gate.
She subconsciously took a step back, raised her head, and looked at the guy's face carefully. She had many things to say, but she didn't dare to say a single word.
Chen Pingan asked: "Where are those books?"
The little girl blinked her eyes and shook her head vigorously, "I don't know."
As if she was afraid that Chen Pingan wouldn't believe it, she said with an aggrieved face: "You fought so hard with those bad guys a few days ago, and a man and a woman walked out of the alley into the street at that time. How dare I go back to the alley? I have always been old.
I sat on the bench honestly, and I couldn’t see or wait for you later. I was afraid that bad guys would find me, so I ran away quickly.”
Chen Pingan waved his hand, indicating that she could leave. He didn't want to see this scheming little girl again.
The little girl said pitifully: "Please, let me finish eating before leaving?"
It turned out that I smelled the aroma of rice.
Chen Pingan ignored her and locked the courtyard door after entering. It was Cao Qinglang who prepared a dinner. The child was smart and filial. Although he had never cooked before, he had seen his mother cooking many times.
When he cooks it by himself, of course the food won't be delicious, but it will be edible.
In the past two days, Cao Qinglang cooked the food himself.
Chen Ping'an never got close to him. Cao Qinglang usually left the yard on his own initiative when he went to the kitchen, and it was the same today.
In the past, when returning home, the child would have finished eating, cleared the table, and returned to his room to stay. Occasionally, Cao Qinglang would come out to sit for a while to enjoy the cool night. But today was different, Cao Qinglang was sitting at the table.
, ate very slowly, and there was an extra set of bowls and chopsticks placed opposite him.
Chen Pingan walked gently into the room, sat down, and chewed slowly without making any sound.
There was a thump in the yard.
The skinny little girl stood up, dusted herself off, and tiptoed outside the house. She didn't dare to go in, so she squatted there, stretched her neck, and looked at the food on the table.
Cao Qinglang thought for a while, then went to the kitchen to serve her a bowl of rice. He walked up to her and handed her the bowl and chopsticks, "Let's eat together."
Chen Pingan put down his bowls and chopsticks and looked at her.
She was about to cry, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and remained motionless.
Cao Qinglang said helplessly: "It's okay, just eat."
She was still looking at Chen Pingan intently. Chen Pingan picked up the bowls and chopsticks and didn't want to look at her.
She then started to chop the rice with her head down, occasionally picking up a chopstick on the side of the dish, as if she were a thief.
The three of them finished eating at about the same time, and Cao Qinglang stood up to clear the table. The little girl glanced at Chen Ping'an, and pretended to help Cao Qinglang clear the table.
The two peers carried the dishes and plates back to the kitchen together. She glanced at the yard and saw that the guy was not there, so she lowered her voice and complained: "There is no oil or water, and it's still so salty. Do you know how to cook?"
Now that you are a grown-up, can you be successful?"
Cao Qinglang was speechless. Seeing her reluctance, he could only say, "I'll pay attention next time."
As a result, Chen Pingan suddenly appeared at the door of the kitchen. The skinny little girl immediately shut up. Just as she was about to turn her head and refuse to admit it, she pretended not to see Chen Pingan, but she had already seen him waving and his eyes were sharp.
She had no choice but to walk out with her head hanging down. Chen Pingan held her by the collar, almost like carrying a chicken. He opened the door with one hand and put her outside with the other. Before closing the door, he said, "If you dare to climb over the wall again, I will throw you directly to the capital."
Go outside."
That night, Chen Ping'an had been resting his mind with his eyes closed. Not long after Cao Qinglang came out to enjoy the cool air, he heard a cough outside the courtyard door.
He went over to open the door and saw her squatting on the ground, with her head raised, her arms folded across her chest, and she said with a smile: "Don't worry about me, it's cooler in the alley outside."
Cao Qinglang scratched his head with both hands. He was really afraid of this guy.
Chen Pingan raised his head and frowned. On a rooftop in the distance, under the bright moonlight, there was a man with a sword hanging. He was wearing a black robe and had an elegant temperament. He was holding a pot of wine in one hand and smiled at Chen Pingan. "See Chen Pingan."
Pingan didn't say anything. He tiptoed and wandered towards Chen Pingan's house.
Chen Pingan took advantage of Cao Qinglang's still outside the door and punched him out, which was natural.
Tang Tieyi, the dignified general of the Northern Jin Dynasty, was hit in the chest by a silent fist and flew backwards, falling back to the original place on the roof.
The strength of the fist was at its peak. Tang Tieyi himself was one of the few great masters in the world. He was not injured, but was in an extremely embarrassed state.
But instead of becoming angry, Tang Tieyi smiled apologetically at Chen Ping'an, as if to say he was bothering him and felt guilty for coming uninvited. Tang Tieyi, who was wearing a trainer on his waist, just turned around and walked away.
Chen Ping'an didn't have a deep impression of this person and was unwilling to have too much contact with him.
Chen Pingan thought for a while, told Cao Qinglang that there was no need to wait for him to come back, and walked out of the alley to Zhuangyuan Lane.
There just happened to be no wine in the sword gourd, so I might as well go out.
In the middle of the night, in a deserted restaurant over Zhuangyuan Lane, there were still colorful lights hanging high and there was only one table of customers.
It is considered a family banquet, because the cooks are brought from home by the guests themselves.
Three men and three women.
Not only this restaurant, but also the entire Zhuangyuan Alley is heavily guarded. In addition to the armored soldiers, there are many anonymous masters stationed in the guard. Unless they are the grand masters of the ten people on the list, I am afraid that anyone wants to assassinate him.
, you can’t even see these people.
These six people are Nanyuan Emperor Wei Liang, Queen Zhou Shuzhen, Crown Prince Wei Yan, the second prince and the youngest princess.
Then there are Taipingshan Taoist nuns, Huang Ting, who changed into simple and elegant Taoist robes, and former Jingxinzhai Fan Wan'er and Tong Qingqing.
The girl princess Wei Zhen inherited the appearance of her parents and was a rare beauty. However, she still felt ashamed when she was next to that Taoist nun. She was originally quite lively, but she did not dare to speak tonight and stayed close to her mother Zhou Shuzhen. She especially
I admire this Taoist nun, who is as beautiful as a fairy, for being able to perform in front of her father, even more... than Master Zhong!
She has collected many banned books over the years, all kinds of fantasy novels collected from popular bookstores by her two brothers who could not withstand her entreaties.
What is the Jianghu? The Jianghu she longs for is that on a dark and windy night, a pair of chivalrous men and women, a couple of gods and gods, enter the frightening lair of bad guys in the martial arts world. When the sky turns fish-belly white, the thieves, bandits and demons
Having already been crowned, the man and woman looked at each other, smiled, and finally rode away, continuing to ride in the rivers and lakes.
Emperor Wei Liang asked with a smile: "With Yu Zhenyi outside and Chen Pingan inside, are you really okay?"
Huang Ting's answer was not too polite: "Actually, these two people are in the capital, so it's okay. One is extremely determined in cultivating Taoism, and the other is not interested in talking to you at all. It's just that you, the emperor, like that set of beds."
You feel uncomfortable with the wording "How can I allow others to snore and sleep next to me?" I can understand this, and besides, I don't like Yu Zhenyi, so I might as well just have a fight with him."
Huang Ting's words became even more outrageous next, "I promise to use all my strength to fight Yu Zhenyi. After that, if I lose, the so-called Nanyuan Kingdom's elite army will not be able to retain Yu Zhenyi, and I will return it to Yu Zhenyi."
He broke into the palace and killed your whole family. I can only try to help you get revenge before ascending."
Wei Liang shook his head and smiled bitterly, drinking to relieve his boredom.
In fact, the most awkward thing is Queen Zhou Shuzhen. The junior sister became the master, and then became Huang Ting of Taipingshan.
The most disappointed person is probably His Highness the Crown Prince Wei Yan.
The Fan Wan'er he admired in his heart could never be found again. Even though the Taoist nun in front of him was more beautiful than Fan Wan'er, Wei Yan couldn't like her.
The most uneasy one is the second prince who looks very similar to Wei Yan. The demon sect's leader Ding Ying, Yao'er, and a large group of masters lurking in the capital were enshrined by Imperial Master Zhong, together with Fairy Jingxinzhai and the imperial court.
All of them were imprisoned. The three factions of the Demon Cult were inextricably linked to him, the prince of the Wei family, who was a noble man in Tianhuang.
The second prince found this meal tasteless and tasteless.
He was a little envious of his sister's lack of heart, and even more jealous of the great fortune of Prince Wei Yan.
Who would have thought that Ding Ying, the invincible old devil, would be killed?
That stinky bitch named Ya'er once swore to him that if you die of old age, even my master's grandfather may not die.
There was an unusual commotion outside the restaurant.
Huang Ting smiled and said: "The distinguished guest is here."
Emperor Wei Liang immediately looked out the window, feeling very nervous and regretting not calling the Imperial Preceptor Zhong Qiu. After all, the Imperial Preceptor had a good relationship with that person and they had a romantic relationship.
But after waiting for a long time, I found that the man appeared from the stairs and walked through the restaurant door and stairs in a polite manner.
The young banished immortal Chen Ping'an was not wearing that dazzling white robe, but was wearing ordinary clothes from a wealthy family in Nanyuan Kingdom.
Wei Liang calmed down and stood up.
The emperor stood up to greet the guests, and Zhou Shuzhen and the three members of the royal family quickly stood up.
To be continued...
