Chen Pingan looked back.

Zhang Zhen's figure has disappeared.

To say that Zhang Ding failed to get the answer he wanted from his side, Liu Zhimao was imprisoned, became a prisoner of the Gongliu Island Order, and was even very likely to be beheaded. Isn't Zhang Ding disappointed? He must be extremely disappointed.

But.

Disappointment is one thing. What you should do after disappointment or what you need to do depends more on your character and skill.

Therefore, Chen Ping'an would respect people like Zhang Jin and Guan Yiran, as well as the ghost general of Shihao Kingdom whom he met by chance in Lingguan Temple, Huanglishan Su Xinzhai.

We never know whether we will encounter greater wind, rain and snow when we walk on the miserable muddy road, or whether we will meet one or two good people, like flickering lights.

Chen Ping'an invited the ghost who was a monk in the sea-viewing realm to cover the eyes of Ma Duyi and Zeng so that they would not

On the street of Falcon Mountain, Ma Duyi visited various shops, shopping around, selling and buying spiritual weapons. She had already "divided the spoils" with Zeng Ye, and she would also help Zeng Ye make plans.

, in the current state, which spiritual weapon should be bought is the most cost-effective. Don't blindly pursue good things and be greedy for quality. Although Zeng Ye is dazzled and often greedy, he still listens to Ma Duyi's opinion. In this way, one person and one ghost,

They are already true friends.

Chen Pingan saw it in his eyes and smiled in his heart.

Because it is a fairy shop, some of the treasures that have been eaten for decades, hundreds of years, or just collected at a low price are often the lucky additions to a fairy money transaction. This is different from that on Yuanwei Street.

, Chen Ping'an bought a picture of a lady and a large imitation of the canal yellow sword, and the old shopkeeper gave three small things as gifts for free of charge. Almost, at this time, the old ghost will come out to cut off the practitioners of the world of mortals.

Even though they are engaged in business, they may not be sure of the quality and value of antiques from secular dynasties, so Chen Ping'an and his party made mistakes again.

Returned with a full load.

Leaving Falcon Mountain.

Chen Ping'an still followed the established route, walking on the border of Shihao Kingdom, passing through city passes one after another, fulfilling every last wish, big or small, for those evil spirits and ghosts.

But during this period, I have been paying close attention to the movements of Shujian Lake. It's just like the monks in the Falcon Mountain shop buying a stack of old newspapers at a low price. The news about Shujian Lake is mostly indifferent gossip.

During the "small full" period of April, if you are in Lizhu Dongtian's hometown town, you need to be very careful about fighting for water in the fields, otherwise it will affect the year's harvest.

When Chen Ping'an was about to return to Shujian Lake, he got a copy of the Xianjiadi newspaper that was widely circulated in the northern border of Shihao Kingdom, which recorded several big news.

Cao Ping, the commander of another large Li cavalry force, used extremely bold troops and divided his troops into three groups despite danger. Only the Chinese army was left to stay in place and confront the border army of the Zhu Ying Dynasty. The other two groups of cavalry troops successively broke through the two groups.

The vassal state of the Zhuying Dynasty was of course not the kind of annexation, but the field forces that the two vassal states could freely dispatch were completely dispersed. Many soldiers and horses could only continue to shrink, relying on the strong cities and towns, and forming their own camps.

Trapped in a corner, this allowed Cao Pang's cavalry to have greater freedom.

Refugees from the two countries poured into the border area of ​​the Zhuying Dynasty. Envoys from the vassal state temples continued to go to the capital of Zhuying, crying for their fathers and mothers, kowtowing and bleeding, feeling pity and praying for Zhuying's army to save the people from the fire and to attack decisively and fight with that big army.

Li Manzi fought decisively outside the city. For this reason, the general who sat on the border of Zhu Ying and faced off against Cao Peng was criticized. The reputation of being timid in fighting spread throughout Zhu Ying's court and home. There were even rumors that this man had an affair with Da Li.

, there was an uproar, and Zhu Ying Temple was forced to divide the main camp into two camps. The civil and military were mixed, and the mountains and the mountains were also mixed. In the court, the noise was so loud that Emperor Zhu Ying was so angry that he directly threw his sleeves to withdraw from the court.

Let’s discuss the matter again.

If this is just a major event in the human world.

Well, in the recent summer, a shocking event happened on the mountain.

In the Wei and Jin Dynasties at the Immortal Platform of Fengxue Temple, they found the great monk from another continent who was temporarily practicing in the central area of ​​Aquarius Continent, Xie Shi, the Heavenly Lord of Luzhou in Beiju.

After the First World War, the Wei and Jin Dynasties left Aquarius Continent and went to Daoxuan Mountain alone with their swords.

In that battle on the top of the mountain with only a few spectators, the outcome was not revealed, but since Xie Shi continued to stay in Aquarius Continent, this Taoist Heavenly Lord who had already incurred the wrath of the Aquarius Continent must not have lost.

However, even if the Wei and Jin Dynasties failed to defeat Xie Shi with one sword, the monks from Aquarius Continent had no complaints against the land swordsman who had just entered the upper fifth realm. They only had the honor of being a monk from the same continent, especially

He is a sword cultivator from Aquarius Island, and he is even more proud.

This is a major event on the mountain that attracts the attention of the entire continent.

Among them, there is also a certain incident on the mountain that attracts attention in the central part of Aquarius Continent.

A Zhenwu Mountain monk named Ma Kuxuan, who was less than twenty years old and had practiced for just a few years, actually killed two Jindan sword cultivators in two deadly battles. It is said that this was Ma Kuxuan's hidden pressure.

Under the premise of the ability at the bottom of the box, the Zhu Ying Dynasty chose to remain silent on this, because during the two battles, both Ma Kuxuan's Zhenwu Mountain guardians and the royal members of the Zhu Ying Dynasty were watching, and Ma Kuxuan's action was not

Any issues should be dealt with openly and openly.

For a time, Ma Kuxuan's name spread throughout Aquarius Continent.

After Xiaoman, especially once it enters the plum rain season, there is a lot of moisture and evil. Whether you are a Taoist or a layman, you should pay attention to warming and nourishing the yang and righteousness to resist the moisture and evil.

When Chen Ping's Third Cavalry went north, they took a route east of the capital of Shihao Kingdom. When they went south, they took a different trajectory.

In the torrential rain that day, Chen Pingan and his three men took their horses to rest in a dilapidated pavilion. Chen Pingan's heart strings trembled, and the wooden box in his sleeves trembled and became slightly hot.

There was actually a messenger flying sword that should never have appeared.

Liu Zhimao has been detained in the water prison. It is absolutely impossible that under the noses of Liu Laocheng and that group of strange monks, he still has the ability to control his own little sword tomb flying sword to send a message to him.

Chen Pingan even planned to turn a blind eye.

After weighing the pros and cons, he carefully put away the messenger flying sword that was indeed Liu Zhimao's and opened the flying sword ban.

The secret message is just three sentences.

"This trip returns to Shujian Lake, you have to be careful."

"The reason for this reminder has nothing to do with you, Chen Ping'an, nor our established business. It is purely because I don't like some faces, so to show my sincerity, I borrowed Liu Zhimao's flying sword."

"Interception of Feijian, no need to reply."

After Chen Pingan put away the wooden box, he fell into deep thought.

It is undoubtedly the work of Liu Laocheng of Gongyanagi Island, but why it is so is worthy of scrutiny.

Liu Laocheng's frank "reminder" was definitely not a major change in Shujian Lake's situation on the surface. There was no need for Liu Laocheng to tell Chen Pingan. Chen Pingan was neither blind nor deaf, and Zhang Ding came to inform him.

, with Liu Laocheng's meticulous mind and ambition, he would never waste any time or words on this kind of matter. So Liu Laocheng's so-called reminders and cautions must be in more subtle aspects, and it is very likely that they have nothing to do with Chen Ping'an himself.

, closely related.

Chen Pingan stood on the edge of the small pavilion that was constantly leaking, looking out at the gloomy rain curtain. Now, there was a worse result waiting for him.

Zhang Dao escaped from Shujian Lake by taking advantage of the hidden secret passage in Qiaotu San Cave on Qingxia Island. Perhaps it was due to the expectations and calculations of some people behind the scenes.

But why didn't he take action directly against Gu Can and Chunting Mansion? Why didn't he choose a simpler and more trouble-free method with immediate results to force him to rush to Shujian Lake and kill him directly?

Chen Ping'an sighed and murmured: "Is it another battle between the great avenues? Then it makes sense that it is not the sect's head on Aquarius Island who takes action, but the Tongye sect where Du Mao is? Or? Taipingshan, for sure

No. The first major sect we passed when we boarded Tongyezhou was Fuji Sect? But I was just passing by Lu Tai at that time and had no disputes. In the dispute between avenues, there are also differences between high and low, wide and narrow.

, to be able to chase him to Aquarius Continent without mercy, the other party must be a monk in the upper fifth realm, so the possibility of supporting the Qi Sect is not high."

Chen Ping'an frowned tightly, "But it's not like the old temple master who has great dharma. When it comes to him, the avenue is not so small."

Chen Ping'an suddenly turned around and said: "Zeng Ye, Ma Duyi, you don't need to accompany me back to Shujian Lake, go directly to the border between Shihao Kingdom and Meigla Kingdom, and wait for me at the Liuguan Pass there."

Zeng Ye wanted to speak, but Ma Duyi grabbed his sleeve.

Chen Pingan turned his head and continued to look at the rain curtain.

Farewell to the pavilion.

Riding south alone.

The thick blue cotton robe was replaced by a thin and fitted blue shirt.

Chen Pingan successfully arrived at Lutong City on the border of Shujian Lake without any setbacks.

After all, Lutong City is a fringe force in Shujian Lake. The undercurrents and changes in Shujian Lake, as well as Su Gaoshan's shocking words and actions in Chishui City, for the local residents of Lutong City, whether they fail to occupy the island as king

, the idle monks who founded the sect, or the common people begging for food. Many times, the bigger the matter, the quieter it becomes, because under the general trend, if you don't accept that fate, what else can you do, especially those ordinary people who are born and raised outside?

The world is so chaotic, even if you have some savings, where can you move it? Do you dare?

There are many delicious foods in Lutong City.

Chen Pingan randomly found a steamed bun shop and was a little surprised. He bought two. He loved eating them and bought two more. It had been a long time since Chen Pingan had eaten until he felt ninety percent full.

The shop is newly opened, and the shopkeeper is very young, barely a teenager.

Business is pretty good.

On the way around the border of Shujian Lake from Lutong City to Chishui City, Chen Pingan inquired about some more news. Compared to the war-torn Shihao Kingdom, the gossip here would obviously be closer to the truth.

At that familiar ferry in Chishui City, more than half a year has passed, and the ferry is still quietly tied to the shore.

Even though Qingxia Island's Liu Zhimao has completely lost power, his status as the top enshrined person in Qingxia Island still holds some weight.

On the way here, he left the horse at an inn. Chen Ping'an gave him some money and asked the inn to help him feed it.

Dou Zhi Bing is a hot summer, and the entire Shuli Lake is filled with heat, like a big steamer.

It’s hard to imagine that when we left Shujian Lake, this place was still a landscape filled with snow and white.

Chen Pingan returned to Qingxia Island by boat alone.

After stopping the boat and landing, after passing the mountain gate, the old monk who was the concierge was still listless. When he saw the accountant who had returned to Qingxia Island, his smile remained the same.

It seems that the disappearance of the island owner Liu Zhimao, the ruined Hengbo Mansion, and the Throwing Whip Shujian Lake by General Da Li have not affected the leisurely life of this old monk.

Chen Ping'an greeted the old monk at the porter, chatted for a few words, and opened the door. There was nothing unusual, except that there was some dust accumulated, because before leaving Qingxia Island, he said that there was no need to clean here.
