Sword of Coming

Cui Chen walked back to the stopping pavilion from the old well and stood still outside the pavilion. Since Qiulu Inn did not want anyone to explore the well without authorization, there was only one entrance and exit from the west side of the pavilion. Cui Chen, who was standing on the east side, was in a daze and was lost in thought. , finally gritted his teeth, grabbed the railing of the pavilion with both hands, used all his strength to climb up, climbed into the bench in the pavilion, and lay on it, gasping for air.

Yu Lu and Xie Xie were a little wary and thought it was Grand Master Da Li who was cheating for fun, so they had to be careful about falling into a trap.

To put it bluntly, even if Cui Han handed a knife to the young girl and stood still and let them chop it into their bodies, neither of them would dare to do it, and they would not even take the knife.

In Xie Xie's view, the reason why Chen Ping'an was able to ignore Cui Zhang was due to Chen Ping'an's ignorance, because he had never experienced the real mountain scenery and did not know the sayings about fighting on the battlefield, closing temples, and immortality. meaning.

In the past, he was the first disciple of the Literary Saint, a Qi practitioner at the peak of the Twelve Realms, and a master of the Great Li Kingdom. No matter who his identity was, he was a majestic mountain that could make people breathless.

Cui Zhang, who is now in a very fragile body, is lying on the bench, as tired as a dog. He reaches out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, "As you can see, not only have I suffered a terrible misfortune, but I have also lost all my cultivation and become helpless." The power of tying a chicken has also made me unable to use any square footage, and I have become a defenseless pauper. So if you two have grudges against me, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do it now. There is no such shop in this village. .”

Having said this, Cui Han turned his head and looked at the Great Li territory beyond thousands of mountains and rivers, and weakly cursed his mother: "You enjoy the blessing, and I will take the blame. Your uncle's Great Li Imperial Master, oh, or my own uncle... …”

Cui Chan muttered and cursed to himself. No matter what, along the way, although he never succeeded in becoming an apprentice, he got along with Li Huai for a long time and his curse became much smoother. He even cursed himself. .

The boys and girls were accustomed to the divine teachings of Grand Master Da Li. Instead of feeling that Cui Han was out of his mind, they felt increasingly like they were walking on thin ice.

Cui Chan sat up, leaning his back against the fence, and placed his hands across the railing. Yu Lu and Xie happened to be on the left and right.

Cui Zhang sighed, "You think Chen Ping'an doesn't know how high the mountains are or how deep the water is, so he's not afraid of me at all. This is..."

Cui Han paused for a moment, laughed and said, "That's right."

Cui Chen continued: "But, you only thought half of it. Ignorant people are fearless. But what you can't compare to Chen Ping'an is that you are not afraid of slanting shadows. The two of you are inexplicably reading the sixth realm. Martial arts warriors, broken mountains and rivers, endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, and one is a Qi practitioner who is amazingly talented but carries a blood feud. I always feel that the future is still very long, so if Chen Pingan dares to kill me, he will kill me. As for you, you are hesitant and uneasy. , I’m a bit suspicious of standing and talking without backache, after all, I am Cui Chan, you all owe me for being alive."

Cui Han rubbed his waist and said with a sad face: "Actually, my waist hurts a lot."

Cui Zhang looked at Yu Lu, "You just follow me wholeheartedly from now on, what do you think?"

Yu Lu smiled and said: "After I came out of the team of remnant prisoners, I followed the master of the country, and I felt good. Traveling to study in this way was also very exciting. Compared with pretending to be a nerd in the East Palace, listening to those things every day , it’s much more interesting. If the National Preceptor can explain some difficult questions about scriptures and meanings to me when he is free, I will feel that my life is very complete."

Cui Zhang stretched out his finger and pointed at the tall young man, "Chen Ping'an is a cautious and unsmiling person. He is like a frog in the well who suddenly jumps out of the well. He is frightened by everything he sees. You, Yu Lu, are really deep-seated and have a traitorous look on your face. Sometimes I really want to die." I’ll punch that smiling face of yours.”

Yu Lu said helplessly: "Compared with Chen Ping'an, how good am I? Aren't I just a frog in the well?"

Cui Chan said casually: "Wealth burns the body, but hardship dissipates the coolness. This sage's warning saying is given to you for free, take it and think about it carefully."

Yu Lu, who had been familiar with thousands of books for a long time, asked curiously: "Which sage's teachings are these from the Confucian Temple?"

Cui Yi pointed at himself, "Me."

Yu Lu was even more helpless.

Cui Chan took out a stone from his sleeve and gently threw it at the iron horse under the eaves. He missed once, twice, and still missed three times.

Cui Han glanced at the girl to thank him, twitched his lips and said: "I really want to throw you out, the bell will definitely ring."

The girl stood there like a clay Bodhisattva with an expressionless face.

Cui Chan said with a smile: "You really want to kill me, but you think you only have one chance, so you must have a perfect plan, and you don't want to die in vain. Yu Lu is smarter than you, and you think it doesn't matter whether you kill me or not. .”

Cui Yi sighed, "Chen Pingan, Li Baoping, Li Huai, and Lin Shouyi, four people. Yu Lu, your favorability from best to worst should be Lin Shouyi, Li Baoping, Chen Pingan, and Li Huai .”

"As for thanking you, girl, it should be Li Baoping, Li Huai, Chen Pingan, and Lin Shouyi."

Cui Chang finally stretched out his thumb and pointed at himself, "As for me, it's Li Huai, Li Baoping, Lin Shouyi, and Chen Pingan. I like Li Huai the most because he poses the least threat to me. Li Bao How could I hate such a sunny and spiritual girl like me, especially a bad-tempered guy like me? I feel warm and comfortable just looking at her. Lin Shouyi, it’s not that he’s not good, it’s just this kind of genius, I I’ve seen so many things that I can’t get interested anymore.”

Cui Chan narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Yu Lu dislikes Li Huai the most because he hates the kind of character who just eats and waits for death. He thinks how can there be such a lazy guy in the world who just lives his life? Of course, there are also slovenly and unloving people. Clean. I like Lin Shouyi the most because you subconsciously regard yourself as the Crown Prince of the Lu Dynasty. The prosperity of a country requires positive talents like Lin Shouyi. Thank you, you seem to be very similar to Lin Shouyi. He is familiar with it and often plays chess, but in fact he is almost crazy with jealousy. He is also a genius in cultivating Taoism. Why is it that Lin Shouyi has such a good life, but he has to suffer such a disaster? It is very likely that this path will be blocked and there will be no hope of immortality."

Yu Lu remained silent.

Thank you for looking extremely embarrassed.

Cui Chan laughed and said: "Then why don't we all like Chen Pingan? But why do Li Baoping and his three fledgling children, who are exactly the opposite of us three mature foxes, like Chen Pingan the most? Isn't that right? Very chewy? Yu Lu, thank you, whoever gives me the correct answer in my mind, I will give you a good thing that you can use. "

Xie Xie said slowly: "Because the three of them are used to looking at Chen Pingan subconsciously whenever they encounter ups and downs and choices. They feel that Chen Pingan does things the most fairly and is willing to pay. And Chen Pingan treats the three of us. For me, aside from your personal pursuits, Sir, this kind of ordinary person who seems to be easy to get along with and willing to be kind to others is really not worth mentioning."

Yu Lu shook his head and said, "Chen Pingan is not that easy to get along with."

Cui Chan clicked his tongue and said: "You two are the same as each other, you are so stupid and cute. Otherwise, I will simply let you two get married. A talented man and a beautiful woman... Oh no, for the time being, you are a handsome man and a talented woman. How about it?"

Neither Yu Lu nor Xie said anything because they both knew it was a joke.

Cui Han stroked a jade pendant on his waist with both fingers, "You don't know at all that Chen Pingan is a mirror, which will make people around him see his shortcomings more clearly than usual. So if you get along with him day and night, as long as you People with mental problems will have problems. There once was a stupid girl named Zhu Lu who was forced to die. She was said to be stupid because she was stupid without knowing it. She did bad things and was still confused. It's just stupid and bad. She is also a woman, but she is far behind our empress from Dali. The smartest thing about our empress is that she said, "What bad things do you think I have done? I myself Didn't you know it?' It was this unintentional remark that made me decide to cooperate with her."

Cui Chan pointed to himself, "According to the hidden saying of a Taoist great master, everyone has two heartstrings, one good and one evil, hanging in our hearts. Just like Chen Ping'an believes, some things, right, it is It’s right, and what’s wrong is wrong, no matter who you do it or who helps defend it, it can’t change it.”

"What's interesting is that the difficulty of life is that in order to accomplish a big good thing, you will inevitably have to do many small wrong things. Confucian disciples who are unwilling to go against their will may not even be able to stay in officialdom, or even in the academy. Climb high, and in the end you have to hide in the study to study knowledge and work behind closed doors, which is of little benefit to the world that is constantly advancing outside. Some people, after staying in the study for a long time, have a pedantic and stale atmosphere, which is hard to see. If others have any moral flaws, they will always criticize and criticize them. On the contrary, they will be helpless against those temple figures who are completely bad. In the end, the world will only decline and the rituals and music will collapse."

Cui Chang didn't look at the two thoughtful guys. He stretched out a palm and wiped it in front of him. He changed his palm and wiped it lower again. "The top is good and the bottom is evil. There are two threads in the human heart. My Cui Chan's good line is extremely high, almost as high as the sky, so I can't see many good people in my eyes. My Cui Chan's evil line is extremely low, so for me, everyone can be contacted and used without any psychological burden. . You two are not as far apart as me, but the distance between the two lines is still not small."

Cui Zhang put away his left hand, leaving a small gap between the thumb and index finger of his right hand. He lowered his head and squinted at the two fingers, "Chen Ping'an's good line is very low, so doing good deeds is natural for him. , this is the reason why he is regarded as a bad good person, but you must know that just because the good line is low, it does not mean that he is really easy to talk to. Because Chen Pingan's evil line is very close to the good line, so he decided on something and decided When he wants to do it, Chen Pingan will be extremely decisive, such as... kill me."

"Actually, you two know very well that no matter how much you look down on Chen Pingan, you, and of course I, will never be Chen Pingan's friend in this life."

Yu Lu suddenly said: "I can try it."

Thank you with a sneer on your lips.

Just when she caught a glimpse of Yu Lu with his head raised and facing the young national master from the corner of her eye, Xie thought that she was in Hengshan, on the top of a big branch, being coerced by Cui Han, and had to take the initiative to find Chen Pingan and give him a rough explanation of martial arts.

The girl was a little embarrassed.

Then she thought of the thin figure standing on the branch, standing in the wind, with the gentle breeze in the mountain.

She suddenly felt inexplicably sad. She had also been in such a pure state of mind, and her eyes were always looking into the distance.

"I have said so much and wasted a lot of saliva. What do I want to express?"

Cui Chan began to conclude the coffin, stood up, and said with a smile: "I mean, from now on, you two idiots, show a little respect to my husband, Cui Chan, from the bottom of your heart, you know?"

This was the second time today that Yu Lu and Xie looked at each other.

"Two pathetic bastards who don't know what's good or what's good!"

Cui Chan became furious for no reason, his face was as gloomy as water, he strode forward and punched Yu Lu hard in the face, "A broken prince who became a prisoner and almost had words carved on his face, knows that I How many emperors and princes have Da Li killed? Are you still trying? Do you, a bastard who has even betrayed your ancestors with your last name, have the qualifications?!"

Yu Lu was caught off guard and received a punch. He didn't dare to make any move to fight back, but was just a little confused.

Cui Han turned around, walked towards the dark-skinned girl, and slapped her in the face, "A little bitch whose mountain gate was smashed by others, do you know how many land gods I have killed with my own hands?"

The proud girl subconsciously reached out and grabbed the wrist of the young man in white to prevent him from slapping her cheek. However, she regretted it the next moment. As expected, Cui Han's whole body exuded a terrifying and ferocious aura, and he was dead. Staring at the girl, she was so frightened that she immediately let go of her hand. Cui Yang looked down at her red and slightly swollen wrist, slapped the girl hard on the face, and said sternly: "How dare you two look down on Chen Pingan? He is I am Cui Cheng’s husband!”

Cui Zhang slapped the girl on the face four or five times in succession.

The girl didn't even dare to use her skills as a qigong practitioner to relieve her strength. She was soon beaten until her cheeks were red and swollen, and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.

Cui Yi, who was full of murderous intent, seemed to be still angry after the beating, and wanted to find something to use as a murder weapon. At this moment, he turned his head and saw a familiar figure running quickly. Cui Yi was stunned on the spot.

The uninvited guest just shouted one word, "Eat..."

As a result, when he saw Cui Chan beating someone, the guy quickly swallowed the word "rice" and started running towards Cui Chan.

The aura on the young man's body was probably more like murderous aura.

Cui Han was so frightened that without saying a word, he climbed and rolled over the railing of the pavilion and ran towards the old well. He shouted over his shoulder, "Chen Pingan, what are you doing?! It's none of your business that I teach my maids and servants a lesson..." ...Hey, if you have something to say, why don’t you admit your mistake? Let’s all stop and talk about the truth, okay?”

After Chen Ping'an ran into the pavilion, he tiptoed and jumped out high. He quickly crossed the railing like a flying bird, landed outside the pavilion, and continued running towards Cui Chang.

Cui Chan knew that he would not be able to escape, so he simply broke the jar, stood at the mouth of the old water well, and said in a sad and trembling voice: "Chen Ping'an, if you really want to kill me today, I will commit suicide by throwing myself into the well! Believe it or not, it's up to you. !”

Chen Pingan continued to rush forward.

Cui Zhang was about to jump into the well, but Chen Ping'an frowned and stopped suddenly.

Cui Zhang stepped out, but at the critical moment, he finally managed to retract his foot. His body was swaying and his life was hanging by a thread.

With his current physique, after he fell to the bottom of the well, because there were still sword energy remnants below, even if he didn't freeze to death and drown, if he was rescued by Chen Ping'an, he would probably be injured to the core and lose most of his life.

It can be seen that the young Cui Yi is really afraid of Chen Ping'an.

Chen Ping'an looked at Cui Chang carefully, and after a long time, he said: "Eat."

Cui Zhang cautiously jumped down from the wellhead, but still did not dare to step forward. He stood there and explained angrily: "I just vented my anger on your behalf. The two of them looked down on you from the bottom of their hearts. It was wrong for me to avenge the injustice and ask them to be more polite to you in the future." ? You treat your kindness like a donkey’s liver and lungs!"

Chen Ping'an sneered and said: "Don't use me as a cover and excuse, you are just a dog who can't change your mind and eat shit!"

After saying that, Chen Ping'an turned around and left. As he walked around the pavilion, he spoke in a gentler tone to the young girl and girl, "Lin Shouyi and the others have finished playing a game of chess and it's time to eat."

Cui Chan followed Chen Ping'an at a distance without being angry but with a smile. He swayed as he ran, his big sleeves flying around, making him look very awkward, "As expected of my husband, he is really smarter than those two idiots." Too much too much."

After passing the pavilion, Cui Chan faced the two of them, immediately changed his face, and scolded: "What are you doing standing still? Eat!"

Yu Lu smiled as usual, walked out of the pavilion, walked down the steps, turned around and asked, "Are you okay?"

Thanks with tears in his eyes, he shook his head.

The tall boy pointed at the corner of his mouth. After the girl came to her senses, she turned her head and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

The group of people had eaten the sumptuous breakfast prepared by Qiulu Inn, and Li Huai's stomach was full. This heartless little brat was completely unaware of the strange atmosphere on the dining table.

The old scholar smiled at Chen Ping'an and said: "Let's take you to visit the bookstores in this county. Let's chat casually. If possible, please buy me a drink."

The old scholar looked at the young girl who was eager to try, and said with a smile: "Together?"

The little girl nodded vigorously, "I'll go back and carry the small book box!"

Lin Shouyi stayed at the inn and continued to practice breathing and breathing with the secret method recorded in "Yunshang Langlang Book". Li Huai was too lazy to move and had no desire to go shopping. He just told Chen Pingan to bring him delicious food. Cui Chan said that he had some personal matters and wanted to go to the innkeeper to see if the price could be cheaper. Yu Lu and Xie went back to their houses.

In the end, only the three of them, one old, one big and one small, left the Qiulu Inn, walked through the flowing alley, and looked for bookstores under the leadership of the old scholar.

The little girl kept showing off her bookcase to the old man, running around in circles around him, asking if her little bookcase looked good, and of course the old man said yes.

Chen Pingan had been brewing for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Master Wen Sheng, are you angry with me?"

The old man almost boasted a flower out of Li Baoping's small bookcase. After hearing this, he smiled and said: "Are you talking about refusing to be my closed disciple? No, no, I'm not angry. I'm a little disappointed. Yes, but looking back, this is actually very good. Qi Jingchun’s original intention, and A Liang’s subsequent follow-up, were not necessarily to give you Chen Ping’an, and I secretly took away your hosta last time. In the final analysis..."

At this point, the old man made a gesture of wiping his palms horizontally, "This is to make you Chen Ping'an, just Chen Ping'an. Without too much involvement, you are the young man from Tianni Ping Alley in Lizhu Cave, your surname is Chen Ping'an and your name is Ping'an. , and then take Li Baoping and the others to study far away, it’s that simple.”

The old man smiled and said: "Alian, this lazy guy who is just doing nothing, is rare for a serious moment. I will help you to make the worldly existence of the Dali Dynasty not bring extra burdens to you and the children. Qi Jingchun has already done this before. Guys, don’t come here to point fingers. Because my arrival caused your good-tempered fairy sister to show up, there was a little trouble, but don’t be afraid, I am an old immortal and I still have this ability. , I will never cause you any trouble, I am good at reasoning with scholars."

The old man patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "From now on, you can study in peace."

The old man looked at himself again and said with a smile: "This is how a young man's shoulders should be. Don't worry about the hatred of family and country, and the righteousness of the country. First, stir up the breeze and the bright moon, the willows Yiyi and the grass-growing Yingfei, the young man's shoulders Your shoulders should be filled with beautiful things."

Li Baoping's eyes lit up, he gave the old scholar a thumbs up and praised: "Master Literary Saint, what you said is very beautiful."

The old man laughed loudly and patted his belly with his palm, "No, he is just pretending to be knowledgeable."

Chen Pingan looked at the old scholar and the little girl who were amusing each other, and took a deep breath. The young man couldn't feel what was on his shoulders, but his heart was already warm.
