Sword of Coming

There is a huge mountain hanging upside down between heaven and earth.

The peaks point to the water of the South China Sea.

Chen Ping'an sat on the osmanthus branch of his ancestors, looking at the shocking picture. It was from here that Miss Ning started to travel around the vast world.

I heard that Posuzhou is the nearest continent. I wonder if Liu Xianyang will come here to take a look in the future?

Osmanthus Island is still about half a day's journey from entering the real upside-down mountain boundary. There are all kinds of strange ferries going around, including giant tortoises carrying monuments, crystal clear clam shells floating on the sea, and Kun boats that are bigger than Dajiu Mountain slowly lowering their height. , there is a sea of ​​colorful clouds, with countless magpies clustered under the sea of ​​clouds, and rows of cranes and bluebirds dragging a tall building. Osmanthus Island is among them, and it is not surprising at all.

Chen Pingan suddenly turned around and looked down.

I saw the young woman again, with a graceful figure and beautiful face, wearing a hairpin, a dress, and a ribbon around her waist...

But Chen Ping'an felt a little numb and felt uncomfortable all over. This feeling was more straightforward than seeing Liu Chicheng wearing a pink robe in a dilapidated temple.

Because Chen Pingan saw the "beauty"'s Adam's apple.

I can't say I hate it, I just don't get used to it.

Chen Ping'an suddenly scratched his head and looked straight at the man who loved red makeup. The grudge in his heart was swept away and turned into a little nostalgic.

When he was an apprentice at the Long Kiln, Chen Ping'an knew a man who was ridiculed as a sissy. He had a timid temperament, walked awkwardly, and loved to wink and twist his orchid fingers when talking. In the Long Kiln where Old Man Yao was the head of the kiln, , this man was the most discriminated against. He finally saved up money to buy new shoes, but on the day he kept them, they would be trampled on by other kiln workers. He did not dare to say anything and suffered silently. In the Long Kiln, it stands to reason that he and Chen Pingan, who is not popular with others, should have sympathy for each other, but it is strange that when the man who likes to cry and cry comes to Chen Pingan, he immediately becomes bolder and uses words to attack Chen Pingan all day long. , spoke in a weird manner, Chen Pingan never paid attention to him, the man couldn't control his mouth several times, and Liu Xianyang, an official disciple of Old Man Yao, accidentally caught him and slapped him in circles. He immediately became honest, and would secretly give him some money when he returned. Liu Xianyang stuffed some broken cakes into the house, and the packages of oil paper were tied more delicately than the store clerk. The man was probably apologizing to Liu Xianyang, the future head of the kiln, and was trying to please him.

The festive paper-cuts posted on the windows of the Long Kiln were all cut by him, alone and with scissors. Even the women in the streets would feel ashamed when they saw them. God knows how good a woman would be if a man were really a woman.

At that time, of course Chen Pingan hated sissies who spoke in ways that harmed their moral integrity. He was just afraid that if he couldn't hold back, he would beat him half to death with one punch. At that time, Chen Pingan had already followed the old man to travel all over the mountains and rivers around the town. , chopping firewood and burning charcoal is a common meal at home. In addition, he has practiced Old Man Yang's breathing every day for a long time, and his strength is as good as that of young and strong men.

Finally, one time, the sissy man who was in charge of the night watch made a huge fool of himself. He actually cut off the fire of a dragon kiln. Then he was so frightened that he ran away in the middle of the night. He was a little smart and didn't dare to run to the town at all. He kept running away into the deep mountains and old forests.

If this was left to the public, it would be a capital crime that would kill off one's descendants. Without saying a word, the livid old man Yao ordered dozens of young men to chase the bastard who had been stabbed a thousand times. Chen Ping'an, who was familiar with mountain roads, was of course among them. .

Two days later, the sissy man was tied up and brought back to the Long Kiln. Old Man Yao broke his hands and feet on the spot and beat him until his skin was torn and his bones were exposed.

The people who found him were the men he usually flattered the most.

No one sympathized with the man who caused such a big disaster, and even if they did, they didn't dare to show it on their face. After all, Old Man Yao was almost never that angry.

Before my hands and feet were broken, the sissy was so frightened that she peed her pants. After being pinned to the ground, she was shaking all over. Then she was hit with a stick. Her heart was broken and her face was filled with snot and tears. After that, she was beaten with a stick. A qiang is like a live fish chopped up with a knife on a chopping board. A sissy is a sissy until she faints at the end. From beginning to end, there is no trace of the backbone of a man.

The sissy was not beaten to death in the end. She lay on the hospital bed for half a year and was so stubborn that she survived.

During this period, many kiln worker apprentices took care of him, and Chen Pingan was no exception. Many people were not happy with this hard work, so they asked Chen Pingan to do it for him. Chen Pingan was the most talkative in the Long Kiln, but in the end, he was the most effeminate. Chen Ping'an, who he didn't like, took good care of him the most, but the two of them didn't talk to each other all day long. After all, neither of them liked the other.

Chen Ping'an just collects herbs and decoctions every day. Occasionally, the sissy girl will be lost in thought, staring blankly at the old window paper on the window that has turned white after being blown by the wind and rain. She may be thinking about the day when she can go to work in the fields, so she must take advantage of the break between work. , put on new and beautiful window paper, bright red.

But the sissy who had obviously survived the disaster, the man who was on the hospital bed, gritting his teeth and trying to walk back to the earth from the gate of hell, still died.

It's all about one sentence.

It was an unintentional remark made by a kiln worker. At that time, Chen Ping'an was boiling medicine at the door, with his back to the kiln worker and Sissy. The former smiled and said, Sissy, your clothes were beaten to pieces that day, and your white buttocks were exposed. It's really like that. A bitch.

Chen Ping'an didn't think there was anything wrong at that time.

The men in Longyao usually used words that were much more vicious and harsh than this to scold this sissy. A sissy almost never quarrels with others, she just doesn't dare to, and if she goes back and forth, she will probably just mutter back and curse in private: "You dare to scold me, believe it or not, the graves of your eighteen generations of ancestors have been blown up."

The result was that after such a painless words, the sissy could already sit up on her own. She chatted a lot with Chen Pingan for the first time that day, most of which he said. Chen Pingan listened patiently. After talking about the window paper, Chen Pingan I sincerely complimented him on how well he cut the window paper, which made him laugh.

Then that night, a sissy who was more courageous than the eye of a needle actually stabbed his own throat with scissors, and even covered himself with a quilt to prevent others from seeing his dead state at first sight when they entered the room. .

No one even dared to carry the body out. It was so unlucky.

Fortunately, Chen Ping'an was used to seeing life and death around him, so he didn't pay attention to these things. He dragged Liu Xianyang along and was busy with everything. During this period, there was neither too much sadness nor any insights. Only during the vigil, Chen Pingan sat alone in the empty and gloomy mourning hall, without any fear. He sat by the fire and murmured: "Since I don't like it in this life." If you are a man, then reincarnate as a woman in your next life.”

In fact, during the chat that day, Sissy asked Chen Pingan why he let him go and pointed him to a path deeper into the mountain when he was the first to find him.

Chen Ping'an said that I was afraid that you would be captured and beaten to death by Old Man Yao. Then, with your little bit of courage, you would turn into a ghost and no one would dare to take revenge, so you would only dare to take revenge on me.

The sissy smiled very happily at that time.

In fact, even if Chen Pingan thinks about it now, Sissy still looked quite ugly when she smiled.

But it’s just that it’s really too disgusting.

The beautiful "young woman" under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree was already furious. Being stared at by a guy so intently, she, or to be more precise, he, if not afraid of hurting the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, would cause unnecessary trouble. , he was about to use his two flying swords, and stab this guy with a pair of dog eyes to death with his swords.

After Chen Pingan came to his senses, he also realized that he was rude and rude. He cupped his hands and apologized, "I'm sorry, I was a little distracted."

The man narrowed his peach blossom eyes, which seemed to be hung with spring light, stretched out his fingers together, poked at Chen Ping'an, and then bent them slightly, with a provocative meaning that was extremely strong.

Chen Pingan no longer just turned his head, he simply turned around, patted the empty space on the high branch next to him, and said with a smile: "As an apology, I can promise you on behalf of Mrs. Gui that you can enjoy the scenery of Hanging Mountain here."

He put his hands behind his back, raised his face as charming as spring breeze, and said with a smile: "Do you like men? Or do you mean that as long as they are good-looking, both men and women like them?"

Chen Pingan felt dizzy and shook his head vigorously to show his innocence.

Of course he only likes girls.

And I only like one girl.

Near the hands of the man under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, two wisps of sword aura, one golden and one snow-white, appeared, extremely subtle and almost invisible.

It was obvious that if they disagreed, he would fly his sword to kill someone.

Chen Pingan hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "You might be even more angry if you tell me, but you look good dressed like this."

Chen Pingan rested his hands on the branches, his eyes clear, "That's what I'm saying."

The man who was a man but dressed in woman's makeup frowned.

He left silently and did not leave the top of the mountain. Instead, he stood near the railing of the observation deck and looked into the distance.

Chen Pingan jumped down from the branch and shouted after him: "I'm leaving. If you want to go to the osmanthus tree to enjoy the scenery, it's best to take advantage of the fact that there are few people now, otherwise Mrs. Gui may be unhappy. "

The man was indifferent.

When Chen Ping'an was far away, he looked back at the osmanthus tree. He hesitated for a long time, but still did not go to a higher place to look at the upside down mountain.

As for the two wisps of sword energy, they have already been collected into the colorful ribbon around his waist.

They are not actually sword spirits, they just look inconspicuous, but they are two extremely high-quality natal flying swords, named Needle Point and Maimang respectively.

Already present at birth.

It is called the innate sword embryo.

Moreover, those who are born with two natal flying swords are unique among sword cultivators. The key point is not the one, but the word "no".

The key is that the quality of Feijian is so good that his master said that he must be a fifth-level swordsman, otherwise he would not be accepted as a disciple.

But how many years will it take to reach the Jade Pu Realm? The master did not say, nor did he ask, because he was not interested at all. He was more obsessed with the art of deduction, but it was a pity that the master said that he was not good at walking on this path. He was too far away to inherit the mantle of his master. All his brothers, including his master, encouraged him to practice swordsmanship. In fact, he knew that it was not that they really expected him to reach the top of the swordsmanship, but that they had bad intentions and wanted to see him. Just kidding myself.

The reason is simple.

He is afraid of heights.

What do you mean by a swordsman who is afraid of heights?

Nowadays, he occasionally rides a flying sword and rides the wind to travel far away, but he never rises more than two feet above the ground.

He glanced at the high branch of the laurel tree where the guy was sitting before, and felt that he was actually stupid too.

Chen Ping'an returned to Guimai Small Courtyard, and Jindan Sword Xiu Ma Zhi was already standing in the courtyard, greeting him with a smile.

It turned out that Chen Pingan took the initiative to go to the yard where Ma Zhi was recuperating and asked when he could continue to test swords. Three days later, Guimai Xiaoyuan returned to its original state. Ma Zhi helped Chen Pingan test swords, and Jin Su was responsible for three meals a day. Mrs. Gui would come to the small courtyard and not disturb the two of them. She would just sit quietly for a while, and at most make a pot of tea for the two of them before leaving.

During this period, Chen Ping'an took out the talisman paper where the withered and beautiful ghost lived and hid. Madam Gui took it in her hand and quickly "shaked" the female ghost in white out of the talisman, and then the girl in Caiyi Kingdom The menacing female ghost in white from the Chenghuang Temple saw the light of day for the first time. She saw Mrs. Gui in the Nascent Soul Realm, an old Zhouzi who fell from the Earth Immortal Realm to the Golden Pill, Ma Zhi, a Golden Pill sword cultivator, and an enemy. Chen Pingan.

If the female ghost hadn't already died, she might have died again.

Finally, with the help of Mrs. Gui, the "false saint" of the small world of Osmanthus Island, the Dry Skeleton Ghost swore an oath of allegiance to Chen Ping'an for a period of time. In return, she could escape from that piece of paper that would lose her soul without watering it. He walked out of the talisman and "lived" in the locust wood sword box.

This is because the ancient Sophora japonica has always been known as the "Sophora monastery". It is not only the vegetation and monsters that prefer locust trees that are over a thousand years old, but also ghosts and demons.

On a previous night near Xuanxuan Mountain, with the stars shining brightly, Lao Zhouzi suddenly found Chen Pingan and took him to the ferry at the foot of Guihua Island. When Chen Pingan arrived there, he found a young dragon climbing on the ferry with its head resting on it. On the shore, most of its body was submerged in the sea water. Its eyes looked at Chen Pingan, full of childish curiosity and gratitude.

Old Zhouzi squatted on the shore and exclaimed: "This poor little guy is only six or seven years old if we are left with him. Mrs. Gui didn't want to embarrass this innocent little guy at that time, so she left only the Dragon King. I released it in the basket. Unexpectedly, it seemed homeless. It quickly caught up with Osmanthus Island, but did not dare to get too close. It whimpered all night and wandered around Osmanthus Island. Now we are getting closer and closer to Osmanthus Island. Mountain, the little guy probably knew that he would definitely die if he went any further. Even during the day, he howled fiercely. If Madam Gui hadn't taken pity on it and helped it hide its Qi, I'm afraid it would have been skinned and cramped by those Qi practitioners on the mountain who had a grudge. ."

Lao Zhouzi finally smiled and said: "Chen Pingan, it seems to have come to you specially, but I don't know whether it is to repay a favor or to take revenge. Although it is still very young, it is a type of dragon and is cold-blooded and cunning by nature. It's hard to say."

Chen Ping'an didn't say anything. He took out an ordinary snake gallstone and threw it to the young dragon. After it swallowed it whole by instinct, its eyes seemed a little blank.

Chen Pingan waved his hand and signaled it to go back.

The young dragon twisted back into the sea, whimpering slightly, but still unwilling to leave the waters of Osmanthus Island. After Chen Pingan thought about it, he actually threw a large handful of ordinary snake gallstones into the sea.

The young dragon surged crazily, splashing huge waves, and swallowed the most delectable things in the world to it one by one.

Chen Pingan finally stood at the ferry and said to it: "Practice well in the future. You have received my favor today. If you like to harm others like that old dragon, I will punch you to death."

The young dragon swam back to the ferry again, with its head high on the ferry bank and its eyes wide open, as if it wanted to remember Chen Pingan's face firmly.

After a while, it leaned back and returned to the sea.

Lao Zhouzi was accustomed to wind and rain, and sighed with emotion: "You have good intentions and have formed good relationships, but things in the world are unpredictable, and good relationships may not necessarily lead to good results."

Chen Pingan's eyes were indifferent, looking at the sea where the stars were broken like gold and silver, and he said softly: "If it is an evil fate, then kill it with one sword."

At that time, Lao Zhouzi was thinking about his mentor who was about to disappear for hundreds of years, and the golden book left by the immortals that Chen Pingan handed over to him. He didn't pay much attention to Chen Pingan's expressions and words.

Sui Cliff Academy.

Those classmates and classmates who came out of Dali back then were destined to never have the opportunity to get along with each other day and night after arriving in Dongshan.

Li Huai then met two new friends, a timid young man from a high-ranking family in the capital, and a bold naughty boy from a poor family. They were both slightly older than Li Huai. The three guys played together all day long and had a great time.

Lin Shouyi is now obsessed with Taoism and has read a lot of books. He comes and goes between the library, school building and private school, standing out from the crowd.

Yu Lu and Prince Gao Xuan of the Sui Dynasty got very close and became good friends. Gao Xuan became more and more fond of coming to the academy to fish with Yu Lu.

Thank you, apart from listening to Mr. Fuzi’s lectures, I live in seclusion every day and am willing to be a maid for Cui Dongshan.

After Li Baoping read the letter from his junior uncle for the last time, the little girl seemed a little lost for a long time.

On this day, she skipped class again. Like a little wild cat, she quickly climbed up to the big tree at the top of Dongshan Mountain. She sat on the branch with her back against the trunk. She also hung around her neck the piece of paper with the title "Leader of the Martial Arts Alliance" engraved on it. Later, she felt that it was not majestic enough, so she engraved it with "Command the Heroes". After that, she got out of control. A small wooden sign was engraved with heroic words full of charlatanism, all of which were excerpted from novels. , such as "I only hate that I will never be invincible in this life" and so on.

A handsome young man in white clothes stood on a nearby branch, swaying slightly with the branch, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter, are you sulking?"

After summer, the red cotton-padded jacket was replaced by a thin red shirt and a little girl, who said dullly: "I'm not angry."

Cui Dongshan asked: "Do you feel that Li Huai, Lin Shouyi and the others are getting further and further away from you?"

The little girl said angrily: "It doesn't matter if they are far away from me. In the past, I didn't like to talk to them in small town schools."

Cui Dongshan smiled knowingly, "So you are trying to fight for my husband?"

The little girl was straightforward and nodded openly, "Yes."

Cui Dongshan held the back of his head with both hands and sighed: "Everyone will grow up. When they grow up, they will pick up some new things and throw away some old things. Just throw them away and pick them up. After a while, they will grow old." "

The little girl said angrily: "Uncle Junior, they are willing to throw it away?!"

Cui Dongshan turned to look at the angry little girl and said with a smile: "What's wrong with it? Besides, even if my husband knows this, he won't be angry. Why are you angry? There's no need."

The little girl crossed her arms across her chest and huffed.

Cui Dongshan turned back and looked at the great Sui capital city, "You may get to know a very good friend in the future and grow up talking about boudoir talk together. Then one day when she gets married, she will like her husband even more; You may meet a better gentleman than Qi Jingchun, and one day you will feel that Mr. Qi is not the most knowledgeable; you may meet... a good young man in the future, even better than your junior uncle. Okay, then you will find that the sadness and sadness you feel now are just like this. When the time comes, take a sip or two of wine and it will be gone in your stomach..."

Cui Dongshan suddenly turned his head and said in surprise: "Xiao Baoping, you didn't refute me. If you don't speak, I won't have anything to say!"

The little girl wrinkled her pretty face and said, "I'm too busy being sad!"

Cui Dongshan laughed loudly, fell backwards, and happened to be lying sideways on a slender branch. He supported his head with one hand and stared at the little girl in the red cotton coat.

Probably one day, the little girl will be taller and taller, her round little face will become thinner, her chin will be pointed, her eyes will still be so moist, clean and energetic, she will still wear red clothes, she will If you travel by rivers and lakes, drink wine among mountains and rivers, you will probably encounter happy things and sad people, right?

Cui Dongshan sighed.

He was a little worried.

If such a good girl really fell in love with her husband one day, it would make people very worried.

But if one day, she doesn't like his husband the most, it seems that she will be even more regretful.

Cui Dongshan turned sideways and began to sleep with his eyes closed and his legs crossed.

As for those chance encounters and heart-to-heart separations, even though Cui Dongshan is just a young boy now, after all, those ups and downs and experiences are accumulated in his heart, which is no less than that of Cui Chun, the Grand Master of Dali.

There was something he didn't tell the little girl.

He Cui Dongshan, as well as the old Cui Zhang, Zuo Zuo, Mao Xiaodong, etc., and even Qi Jingchun, all grew up little by little under the shelter of the old scholar, but in the end, everyone I hope to get out of the shade of that huge tree. Those who get out will be fine. Those who can't get out will slowly change their hearts.

The little girl in red not far away put away the wooden sign and carefully took out a scroll from her arms. On it was a young man standing under the laurel tree, smiling at her.

The little girl suddenly lost her worries, smiled broadly, and said cheerfully: "The young master who learned to drink is so handsome. When I get older, I must let the young master take me to explore the world together!"

The little girl became more and more excited as she thought about it. She turned around and asked loudly: "Cui Dongshan, is it difficult to drink?"

Cui Dongshan decisively refused: "You can't drink!"

Li Baoping said angrily: "Why?!"

Cui Dongshan said resentfully: "Sir, I can't bear to scold you, but you will beat me to death directly!"

Li Baoping sighed, shook his head, and said pitifully: "How pitiful."

Cui Dongshan glanced at the smiling little girl and said, "Little Treasure Ping, please put away your gloating smile when you comfort others in the future."

Li Baoping made a gesture of sealing.

Cui Dongshan lamented and muttered: "Good intentions are not rewarded."

Between the upside-down mountain and the sea, there are "rivers" like water and clouds hanging in the air for all ferry boats to climb. Many ferries that can ride the wind also need to descend to the sea first and cannot directly approach the upside down mountain.

Osmanthus Island stopped for a moment at the ferry at the bottom of a river. He just symbolically handed over a book similar to a customs clearance document. Without paying the sky-high passing money, he started walking along the upward sloping river to the upside-down mountain. .

The Upside Down Mountain has a radius of hundreds of miles. As an isolated peak in the world, it can be said to be a vast territory.

There was a tall Taoist priest with a face like a middle-aged man, standing on the edge of a cliff. Behind him stood a thin old Taoist priest with an immortal style, holding a whisk in his hand, with gold and silver silk threads. At the dragon's beard, the old Taoist asked softly: "Master, do you need your disciples to destroy Osmanthus Island?"

Master Gao smiled and said: "I am willing to admit defeat. I have lost a few fights. What's the shame? It's not your master. I have never lost in my life."

While the Great Heavenly Lord of Hanging Mountain was speaking.

Qing Ming Tian Xia.

There was a Taoist priest who was punched from the sky and into the world of Qing Ming.
