Then Chen Ping'an said to Pei Qian: "Did you miss anything in your daily copying?"

Pei Qian shook his head.

Chen Pingan stretched out his hand, "Take it and take a look."

Pei Qian immediately ran to the house and brought a large handful of paper. Chen Pingan flipped through the pages page by page. After reading them carefully, he returned Pei Qian and nodded: "I'm not lazy."

Pei Qian grinned, and Chen Pingan helped her wipe away her tears.

Then Chen Pingan stood up and said, "You guys stay here, I'll go talk to Mr. Zhong about something."

After Chen Pingan left, Pei Qian put the papers back into the room, sat back on the small bamboo chair, and held his chin in his hands.

At the corner of the street, Chen Ping'an happened to meet Zhong Qiu.

After not seeing each other for many years, Mr. Zhong’s temples have become even whiter.

The two of them walked together on the street where they had fought against each other and fought side by side. Both sides were filled with emotion.

Regarding the current situation of Lotus Root Blessed Land, Zhu Lian wrote in his letter, Li Liuyou said, Cui Dongshan later elaborated on it, and Chen Pingan was already familiar with it.

Nanyuan Kingdom, Songlai Kingdom, Northern Jin Kingdom, and Frontier Grassland have a total of four layouts. The territory seems to be the same, but this belongs to the category of "mountains and rivers changing color". Only the Nanyuan Kingdom allocated to Chen Ping'an is the soul.

Complete human beings, in addition to all living beings, grass, trees, mountains and rivers, have not "faded" and have not been reduced to those "people" in the blessed land. According to Li Liu, the living beings in the other three places have "disappeared"

"meaning", so Zhu Lian described it as three "meticulous white painting scrolls". But like Lu Tai, Yu Zhenyi and others, as well as the young man from a scholarly family in the capital of Nanyuan Kingdom, all disappeared out of thin air in this blessed place.

Well, if we separate the blessed land elsewhere, Nanyuan Kingdom's national teacher Zhong Qiu will disappear out of thin air. They are one of the few special cases who are favored by the old Taoist Guan Taoist.

This is a veritable transformation of heaven and earth, with Tao and Dharma reaching heaven.

Zhong Qiu got straight to the point: "His Majesty the Emperor already has the intention to practice Taoism, but he hopes to see the Nanyuan Kingdom unify the world before leaving the Lotus Root Blessed Land."

Chen Ping'an asked: "What are Mr. Zhong's thoughts?"

The Emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom had met him in a nearby restaurant. At that restaurant banquet, not counting Chen Ping'an, there were six people in total. Huang Ting was among them at that time. From the former Fan Wan'er and Tong Qingqing, they saw

The glasses suddenly transformed into Huang Ting, the female crown prince of Taiping Mountain, a talented female cultivator from Tongyezhou who was so blessed that even He Xiaoliang was her junior. Chen Pingan had previously traveled to Luzhou in Beiju and had no chance to meet her.

This woman was slightly inferior to Qi Jinglong in a life-and-death fight on Tuli Mountain. However, according to Qi Jinglong, the two sides were actually equal in fighting strength. It was just that Huang Ting was a woman. By the end of the fight, both sides no longer cared about life or death.

, in order to maintain the integrity of the Taoist robe on her body, she lost the battle and stood up from Tuli Mountain later than Qi Jinglong.

In the restaurant at that time, in addition to the Emperor Wei Liang who was in his prime, there were also the Queen Zhou Shuzhen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Wei Yan, the ambitious second prince Wei Yun who failed in success, and the youngest princess Wei Zhen.

Chen Pingan has an excellent memory.

At that banquet, where everyone had their own thoughts, Chen Pingan remembered clearly not only everyone's appearance, demeanor and words, but also what wine everyone drank and what food they ate.

The old monk of Xinxiang Temple not far from the alley, the place to eat at the night market of Baihe Temple, the library of the official family, and the story of the poor scholar and the pipa girl in Zhuangyuan Lane are all still vivid in my mind and in my heart.

Zhong Qiu was silent for a moment, looking gloomy, "a little frustrated."

He tirelessly pursues self-cultivation, family governance, country governance, and world peace. It seems that after the truth is revealed, everything he does is just repeated by others, and Zhong Qiu feels a little tired.

You may even wonder, could it be that you are really wrong and Yu Zhenyi is right?

Chen Pingan said slowly: "From now on, in this world, cultivators, mountain spirits, landscape gods, monsters and demons will all spring up like mushrooms after a rain. Mr. Zhong should not be discouraged, because although I am the nominal owner of this lotus root blessed land,

Master, but I will not interfere in the trend of the human world. The Lotus Root Blessed Land was not my Chen Pingan’s crop land and vegetable garden before, and it will not be the same in the future. Some people by chance go up the mountain to practice Taoism, so they can practice Taoism with peace of mind. I will not

Block. However, human affairs at the foot of the mountain are left to the people to resolve themselves. Whether it is war or the unification of Haiyan and Qingping, emperors, generals, and ministers all rely on their abilities, and temples, civil and military affairs, each rely on their conscience. In addition, in the matter of incense, fire, and gods, you must follow the rules, otherwise

The whole world will only become worse and worse, and become a smoky atmosphere, with people and ghosts everywhere, and gods and gods everywhere."

Zhong Qiuxiao asked: "Do you want to view the great road from the perspective of a world?"

Chen Ping'an was stunned for a moment, "I've never thought about it deliberately, but what Mr. Zhong said seems a bit like it."

Zhong Qiu asked: "What is the situation like in the vast world outside?"

Chen Ping'an thought for a while and replied: "The human heart is still the human heart. But compared to Nanyuan Kingdom, my hometown is full of wonders in the world. And there is a sky beyond the sky, and there is more than one world. Mr. Zhong should go out and take a look, later.

It doesn't matter."

Zhong Qiu nodded and said: "Before I came to see you, His Majesty the Emperor had officially abdicated, and the eldest prince Wei Yan succeeded him. As for the second prince Wei Yun, he had been detained by the late emperor early. I also just resigned from the Imperial Counselor, but I will not leave immediately.

, I plan to travel around this small world first. Chen Ping'an, I hope you can keep your promise and don't treat the people of this world as puppets and playthings, just as goods that can be bought and sold casually. But I am not that kind of autumn.

A pedantic scholar who doesn't know how to adapt will not only pretend to be a villain. As long as I agree with the rules finally formulated by Chen Ping'an, then everything in the future will be done within the rules. Even if I can't bear it, I still can't bear it.

Can make irresponsible remarks."

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Actually, there is another way to make Mr. Zhong feel more at ease."

Zhong Qiu asked: "You want me to be your guest?"

Chen Ping'an walked slowly with his hands in his sleeves, not denying it at all, "Mr. Zhong is a genius of Master Wen Sage and Wu Zong. How can I miss it? No matter what, I have to give it a try."

Zhong Qiu said with a smile: "Don't you have that Zhu Lian beside you? To be honest, among the people I admire most in Zhong Qiu's life, Zhu Lian, the son of an aristocratic family who turned the tide, is one of them. Zhu Lian, the martial arts madman with pure boxing skills, can still be considered.

One. Zhu Lian, who had seen a living person before, was so close at hand, as if he saw someone walking out of the pages of the book, which made people feel even more absurd."

Chen Ping'an said: "Mr. Zhong just needs to hang up his name at the Luolu Mountain Patriarch Hall. It won't delay Mr. Zhong's future travels. There will be no restrictions at all."

Zhong Qiu asked doubtfully: "Luolu Mountain?"

Chen Pingan nodded.

Zhongqiu said: "What a good name. Then I will put your name on this mountain."

Chen Pingan looked lonely.

Someone once cursed himself when he was punching. He was young, lifeless, and a lonely ghost. He was worthy of being the master of Luoluo Mountain.

After meeting the late emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom, Chen Ping'an took Pei Qian and Zhou Mili, said goodbye to Cao Qinglang, and left the Lotus Root Blessed Land together.

Chen Ping'an still looked as usual. He lived on the first floor, practiced boxing and walking in the open space outside the door as usual, and practiced behind closed doors. He only occasionally went to the second floor to stand in the corridor and look into the distance.

Late that night, Pei Qian was sitting alone on the top of the steps.

Cui Dongshan climbed the mountain slowly and sat next to her.

Pei Qian glared at the big white goose, and after a moment, he asked softly: "Grandpa Cui is gone, aren't you sad?"

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "I want you to see my state of mind, so you can see it. If I don't want you to see it, then you won't be able to see it in your life."

Pei Qian slapped him with his fist and said angrily: "I'm still not very good at what I do."

Cui Dongshan shook his head and said: "Regarding this matter, leaving aside some ancient gods, then I claim to be second, and no one dares to claim to be first."

Pei Qian said oh.

The big white goose next to me is indeed quite powerful.

Cui Dongshan smiled and said slowly: "Young people often cry loudly when their elders leave. The sadness and lung damage are all on the face and in the tears."

"Look at those young men with lots of tears and runny noses. The fathers and elders around them are mostly taciturn. During the funeral, they greet and send them off, talk to others, and still laugh."

"This is life. Maybe it's the same person, two sorrows in two stages of life. You don't understand now because you haven't really grown up yet."

Pei Qian snorted, "I don't understand this, and I probably won't understand it in the future, and I don't want to understand either."

In the Nanyuan Kingdom, a place she didn't think of as her hometown, when her parents left one after another, she actually didn't feel too sad. It was as if they just took a step first and she would soon follow. Maybe

She starved to death, froze to death, or was beaten to death, but so what if she followed? Wasn't it because she was despised by them and treated as a burden? So after Pei Qian left the Lotus Flower Blessed Land, even if she wanted to be sad, from the master's side, she couldn't

Can't pretend.

But Grandpa Cui is different.

Apart from his master, he is the elder that Pei Qian truly recognizes.

The beatings made her miserable. At first, she dared to yell that she would be beaten even more severely if she stopped practicing boxing. She said so many bastard words that hurt her more than the injuries.

But Pei Qian now knows what is good and what is bad.

She doesn't even use her eyes to peek into people's hearts.

Cui Dongshan raised his head and looked into the night. The Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon, and the moon would be reunited.

Cui Dongshan said softly: "So sir, I never want you to grow up, so don't be too anxious."

"When you grow up, you will want to take on something. When the time comes, your master will not be able to stop you, and he will not stop you anymore."

"Do you still remember the time when your master left Sui Academy?"

Pei Qian nodded vigorously, finally there was a smile on his dark face, and said loudly: "Of course, I am happy, and Sister Aquarius is even happier."

Cui Dongshan smiled and asked himself: "Why do all of us have to work together and cause such a big fight? Because sir knows that maybe the next time we meet again, we will never be able to see the people in our memories again.

That little girl in a red cotton-padded jacket, with red cheeks, small stature, round eyes, and a crisp voice, carrying a small bookcase of just the right size on her back, called me Junior Uncle."

"Relying only on your eyes is doomed to never see you again."

"So I just keep it in my heart. This is the unspeakable regret of adults. I can only keep it here and hide it."

Cui Dongshan pointed to his heart, and then gently waved his sleeves, as if he wanted to drive away some worries.

Real sorrow can only be found in silence.

"These annoying things are things that you can only figure out on your own when you grow up, but I still hope you will listen and at least know that such a thing exists."

"My grandfather just left like this. My husband is no less sad than me. But my husband won't let anyone know how sad he is."
