Sword of Coming

Chen Ping'an waited quietly at the Stork Inn. After leaving the lawless place on the Great Wall of Sword Qi, boxing became easier again, and he finished the last eight thousand punches unknowingly.

On this day, Chen Pingan stopped punching for the last time, sat silently at the table, and took out a cute green bamboo slip. Unlike other bamboo slips, it was not engraved with meaningful and beautiful words, but was used by Chen Pingan for calculations. The props, whether one hundred thousand punches, two hundred thousand, five hundred thousand punches, all have a rough process engraved on them.

Chen Pingan stretched out his fingers and carefully rubbed the scratches on it. Occasionally, there would be some counting marks that recorded a thousand punches or even hundreds of punches. Those times were often when Chen Pingan was most irritable, such as that dilapidated building. After Gusi and Mr. Qi parted ways, such as the early days after the catastrophe on Osmanthus Island, etc., there were still many unknown moments. In short, if he practiced boxing when his mind was not calm, no matter how many punches he punched and missed, Chen Ping'an would still be able to Doesn't count towards one million punches.

That's it, a million punches.

Ordinary, Si Jing is still Si Jing, Chen Pingan is still Chen Pingan.

Chen Pingan put away the piece of bamboo slips. The old man was disbanded and returned to his field. He picked out a brand new Qingshenshan bamboo slips and planned to carve the next million punches on it.

The sunshine outside the window slipped into the house, like a group of children who didn't like to joke. After they were tired, they lay lazily on the table, the ground, and the young man's shoulders.

Chen Ping'an sat quietly where he was, not thinking about anything, or thinking about something without having to remember it, which was fine.

A familiar knock on the door rang, and Chen Pingan immediately came back to his senses. This time he did not ask who it was. Chen Pingan remembered everything about the gatekeeper Sword Immortal very clearly, including his tone of voice, facial expression, sword spirit, and his tossing and turning. Chen Pingan has a deep memory of going there. Even the inconsequential details such as knocking on the door, Chen Pingan has not let go. When going out, the importance of caution is no less important than that of boxing.

Chen Ping'an didn't ask who it was this time. He stood up and went to open the door. Sure enough, it was the swordsman who liked to take a nap. He entered the room, put a thin golden rope on the table, and said with a smile: "The old dragon is long." The demon-binding rope that needs to be made is a veritable magic weapon. I found a Taoist Talisman sect in Daixuan Mountain. He intercepted two pieces of thumb-length beards as a symbolic reward. In fact, he made this The treasures of heaven and earth consumed by the rope must be much more than this loss. The three cloud patterns carefully peeled off from a Qingci memorial are no worse than two dragon beards. The reason for saying this is not I'm just asking for credit, but in the final analysis, it's Ning Yatou's face, which is absolutely incomparable."

Chen Ping'an never sat down. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Senior Sword Immortal."

The man who still placed his sword on the horse-tethering post waved his hand and pointed at the golden demon-binding rope, "After roughly refining it, no matter what one's mind is, the demon clan of the middle and fifth realms cannot escape from the bondage, but facing the golden elixir yuan The two realms of infants cannot last long, but under the golden elixir, one may not be able to break away. The reason why the demon-binding rope is spread all over the world, especially the high-quality demon-binding rope, is the most loved by Qi practitioners who travel all over the world. It is similar to the Dragon King's Basket. It can defeat the enemy with one move. It is a top-notch magic weapon that can be said to be 'one move can conquer the world'."

The man suddenly noticed that Chen Ping'an looked strange and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Pingan said with shame: "I don't know how to refine the magic weapon."

The man smiled angrily: "Chen Pingan, are you kidding me, or do you think I'm easy to fool? If the two flying swords in your sword gourd are not refined and perfected..."

The man was worthy of being one of the few sword immortals on the Great Sword Qi Wall. His face became solemn, he took one more look at the sword gourd on Chen Ping'an's waist, nodded, and no longer cared about the matter, let alone inquired about it, and said straightforwardly: "Then I will tell you. You have a popular formula for refining magic weapons. Don’t worry, you don’t have to admit my feelings. This formula is a piece of shit on the Great Wall of Sword Qi. You can treat it as a buy one and get one free, and use this formula to refine the artifacts. The benefits are It is easy to get started, but the disadvantage is that if you refine the demon-binding rope with this formula, once it is forcibly taken away by the earth immortal, it will be easy to cut off the restrictions you set up, and it will become someone else's possession."

The man smiled and said: "So, if you encounter the powerful monsters in the world in the future, if you don't have to, run away if you can, just don't take out this thing. Don't think about relying on it to defeat the enemy, so as not to become a treasure-delivery boy. Okay. Now, I can’t wait any longer, I’ll teach you the formula and some precautions from my heart, if you can’t remember it once, I can say it twice more.”

Chen Pingan nodded. On the lake of his heart, ripples rippled slightly. The mellow voice of the Sword Immortal slowly sounded in his heart. Chen Pingan silently wrote it down.

The sword immortal asked: "How many percent do you remember?"

Chen Pingan said honestly: "I have written it all down, but I kindly ask Senior Sword Immortal to repeat it again."

The Sword Immortal smiled and said, "You are quite rude."

The sword fairy didn't find this bothersome at all. Instead, he admired Chen Ping'an's straightforwardness, so he said the formula again. Compared with the first time, he also talked about his own experience. Naturally, it was an extremely high-level opinion. , Chen Ping'an definitely couldn't understand it at the moment and could only memorize it by rote.

The man was not a sloppy person. After saying the formula, he stood up and left, but before walking out of the house, he said to Chen Ping'an: "Ning Yatou's generation has really good qualifications, so good that all old men can laugh in their dreams. And it's not just three or five dozen people, but more than thirty people, so that world will definitely not sit still and wait for death, and the young demon who defeated me has a great reputation, so he may not be the strongest within a hundred years. Genius, the Great Wall of Sword Qi has ushered in a great year that is rarely seen in a thousand years. After the monster clan's attacks over the past few hundred years, I found one thing very strange, that is, even a genius who is half as good as Ning Yatou seems to be a genius in cultivation. Everyone is hiding, which is very unreasonable, so I am a little worried, I always feel that the wild world is planning something big, and the Thirteenth War is just the prologue."

Seeing that Chen Pingan listened carefully, the man laughed at himself: "It seems useless to tell you this. Just forget it."

Chen Ping'an insisted on sending the senior Sword Immortal to the door of the Stork Inn. When he reached the alley outside the inn, the Sword Immortal said helplessly: "I just said you were rude, but now you are polite, so I won't be polite either. .”

The sword immortal turned into a rainbow light and rose up from the ground, heading towards the foot of Gufeng Mountain. The majestic sword energy disappeared in an instant.

Chen Ping'an had a headache. As expected, over at the inn, several guests looked at each other, and the young shopkeeper stood behind the counter, making calculations. He seemed careless, but in fact there was a smile on his lips.

The guests at my inn have extraordinary origins, which is definitely not a bad thing. They are very prosperous and can make you look good.

When Chen Ping'an walked back to the inn, those mountain gods who were no longer outstanding in Xuanxuan Mountain would not have stayed at a small Stork Inn otherwise. Even if the inn lobby was spacious enough, those people still subconsciously gave way. the way. Chen Ping'an had no choice but to pretend that he didn't see anything, returned to the house, and began to refine the demon-binding rope with the instructions taught by the swordsman. It was like drawing a talisman, but he still could not control this high-grade magic weapon for a long time. Everything could only be done by a pure martial artist. Angrily "all at once".

Long Qi means great strength.

But unlike the making of a talisman, for Chen Ping'an, whose Changsheng Bridge collapsed, the use of the demon-binding rope is more difficult. Fortunately, after entering the fourth realm, the ventilation is more subtle and rapid, and the old and new alternate, far away It is faster than the previous three realms, so the use of the demon-binding rope can be used against the demons in the three realms of Dongfu, Guanhai and Longmen in the middle five realms. It can be used as a trump card to surprise the opponent, imprison the opponent, and then in the shortest time. Give the enemy the most powerful punch.

Of course, the demon-binding rope is useful for all Qi practitioners, but it is more effective against demons.

If this demon-binding rope can be combined with a few talismans that are adapted to local conditions and different people, as well as killing enemies with boxing techniques, Chen Ping'an will feel a lot more confident.

It took Chen Pingan a full three hours to refine the demon-binding rope bit by bit. When he was done, he was already sweating profusely. Fortunately, there was the tried-and-tested dirt-repelling talisman in the room, which saved him a lot of trouble.

After that, Chen Pingan took off the sword-raising gourd, put it on the table, and stared at it in a daze.

Regarding the Thirteenth Battle, Ning Yao did not shy away from what he said.

But Ning Yao was willing to speak carefully and calmly.

Chen Pingan listened to her, not daring to ask any more questions, and pretended that he was just listening to a heart-stirring story.

Ning Yao would even tell him face to face, "I'm very sad that my parents are gone, but it's just revenge by killing the enemy with my own hands. I won't think too much about it, and you don't need to think about it too much."

After saying these words, Ning Yao raised his head and drank wine, gently covering his heart with one hand.

In Chen Ping'an's heart, Ning Yao's sharp edge was far more straightforward at that moment than when he saw her wielding a sword for the first time.

The only thing that can be compared is that in her hometown town, Ning Yao put her fingers together, pressed her eyebrows, opened her eyes, and threatened to cut open the world of Lizhu Cave. A trace of golden color oozed out, and she almost sacrificed her life. Flying sword.

So Chen Pingan decided to practice swordsmanship.

To become a great swordsman.

One day, he will carve words on the southern wall of the Sword Qi Great Wall.

Chen Pingan took a deep breath, put away the sword gourd, and pinned it to his waist. Chen Pingan actually stopped drinking recently.

Now that he has decided to practice swordsmanship, and already has a "Swordsmanship Serious Book", and carrying a "Chang Qi" temporarily lent to him by the old swordsman behind him, Chen Ping'an began to think about it seriously, even more than when he first decided. If you want to practice the "Mountain Shaking Fist" with one million punches, you have to do it seriously.

Chen Pingan stood up, closed his eyes, and walked slowly around the table.

Sword cultivators use swords, and martial arts swordsmen also use swords, but there is a world of difference between them.

The Fengxue Temple who took the donkey away in the Wei and Jin Dynasties was a swordsman in the Yupu realm, but the grace of his sword was still fresh in Chen Pingan's memory even to this day.

Whether it is Senior Song, the swordsman of the Shushui Kingdom who aspires to dominate the world, or the swordsman of the Caiyi Kingdom who died in the hands of Ma Kuxuan, no matter how good their swordsmanship is and how famous they are in the world, facing the Qi practitioners on the mountain, Especially for sword cultivators, it is really difficult to compete.

The reason why Chen Pingan wanted to go to Juluzhou to practice before was because he heard that the swordsmen in Juluzhou had swordsmanship skills that were much higher than those in Aquarius Continent. There were so many swordsmen there, Even if they are pure warriors at the foot of the mountain, they can still compete with Qi practitioners.

If you want to become a sword immortal, you need to become a sword cultivator. You must first have a bridge of longevity. The old one cannot be repaired, and even if it is repaired, the achievements will be limited. So how to build a new one? Go to Tongyezhou to find the Donghai Taoist temple, and find an old Taoist whose name is not even known now. Since the old Taoist can be talked about by the old swordsman, he must be a quite remarkable old god. Whether he sees him or not, he still has nothing to do with it. Two words.

Chen Pingan walked around the table again and again. Once he unknowingly took off the sword gourd and almost drank. Fortunately, the aroma of the wine was fragrant and intoxicating. Chen Pingan was invisibly reminded not to go back. waist.

The old swordsman's "Long Qi" can point out a general direction after arriving at Tongye Continent, so Chen Ping'an chose to land in the central area of ​​Tongye Continent, first determine the north and south, and then pursue all the way.

While Chen Pingan was thinking about the details of his trip to Tongyezhou, a couple came to the Stork Inn, saying they were looking for Chen Pingan and they were old acquaintances of the young man.

Hanging upside down on the mountain, if you hurt someone, you will die. This rule is very effective. Although there are many profound secrets that can be concealed by luck, once it is discovered, even if it is an old case decades ago and a hundred years ago, Taoist Taoist Dao of the hanging upside down mountain, or even True Lord Jiaolong, will be found out. He will still take action personally, so Xuanxuan Mountain is always a rare place of peace and purity.

The young shopkeeper led the couple to the corridor of Chen Ping'an's house, pointed in the direction, and did not follow.

The woman thanked him, and the young shopkeeper smiled and said that he should, and then left with peace of mind. But at the corner, the young man couldn't help but look back for some reason. The couple had an average appearance and a gentle temperament, but the young shopkeeper always felt that What went wrong? He shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Stork Inn wanted to regain the glory of his ancestors and had a long way to go. There were a lot of trivial matters that required him to do everything every day.

Outside Chen Ping'an's door, the man complained: "Just show up at this kid's house, why bother?"

The woman glared and said: "How can we not be polite? My daughter already has such a temper. If there is another one like you, if I still think that Chen Ping'an is a clay bodhisattva, who can bully me? What? Just because of my daughter's luck. Okay, now that you have found such a good child, do you think everything is natural?"

The man angrily said: "You are the one who likes him the most! He found our precious daughter, isn't he more lucky? If there is an ancestral hall, it would be no exaggeration to burn a hundred high-quality incense."

The woman was also stubborn. When she heard what the man said, she stopped knocking on the door and decided to have a good talk with her man, so as not to talk nonsense after entering the house and make it more difficult to clean up.

After all, the vast world is not the Great Wall of Sword Qi that is used to life and death. It hangs upside down beyond the mountain. Words can hurt people, especially unintentional words, which are very serious.

I am a rough man and don't like to pay attention to these things, but she is a woman, how can I not care.

The man quickly admitted his mistake, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

The woman glared at her man fiercely, and the latter said helplessly: "I really know I was wrong."

The woman then knocked on the door gently and asked softly: "Chen Pingan?"

Inside the room, Chen Ping'an immediately paced, extremely nervous, sweat dripping from his forehead, and immediately shouted: "Wait a minute, I'll be out right away."

After a while, the boy opened the door.

After changing his clothes and wearing that golden robe, the earthly immortals would regard him as a snow-white robe.

Finally, I took off the straw sandals that had remained unchanged for thousands of years and put on a pair of brand new boots, also white.

The "Chang Qi" I was carrying earlier was already on the table. The sword gourd and the wine pot "ginger pot" were missing from my waist. They were not on the table. They were actually hidden by the young man.

The woman and the man looked at each other and smiled.

It seems that they have guessed their true identity.

The couple crossed the threshold, Chen Pingan gently closed the door, and then asked, "Would you like some tea?"

After the woman sat down, she shook her head with a smile, then pointed to a stool and said, "Chen Ping'an, you also sit down. The couple we had to hide our faces at the Jingjian Pavilion before had no choice but to do so. After all, Hanging Mountain is not The Great Wall of Sword Qi has its own rules, I hope you can understand."

Chen Ping'an sat upright across the table, clenched his fists on his knees, and nodded vigorously.

The man glanced sideways at the extremely reserved young man, and became more and more angry as he looked at him. He was so unattractive and unrestrained, no matter how he looked at him, he was not worthy of his daughter.

As a result, the man was kicked hard by the woman, so he had to watch his nose and heart, leaving everything to the woman.

After the woman removed the cover-up, the man did the same and the two of them revealed their true faces.

The woman is stunning and the man is handsome.

Perhaps this is the real couple of gods and immortals.

Only then would she have such a touching daughter as Ning Yao.

The woman introduced herself in a seemingly unnecessary way, "You should already know that I am Ning Yao's mother, and he is Ning Yao's father. In fact, the two of us have already died in the battle south of the Sword Qi Great Wall, but the remaining The soul was retained by the boss Sword Immortal. Although it was contrary to the customs of the Sword Qi Great Wall, people are dead, so they still care about what they do. Fighting and killing for the rest of their lives, and 'living' for themselves after death, it shouldn't be too much. After all, Ning Yao was still young at that time..."

At this point, the woman could no longer speak.

The man had no choice but to follow her words and continue, "Ning Yao ran away from home for the first time. When he came back, we knew something was wrong..."

The woman coughed slightly.

The man had no choice but to change his words, "I knew about you. Our daughter hadn't figured it out at the time, but later I found out that you were going to help deliver the sword to Daixuan Mountain. She will wait for you when she has nothing to do."

Alone, sitting on the dragon-slaying platform.

It made the man feel uncomfortable.

The man hesitated for a moment, his expression far from warm, "Can you really live up to Ning Yao? You should know that Ning Yao is very different from ordinary women, in every aspect."

Although Chen Pingan was so nervous that he was sweating, he still said seriously: "I have thought that the worst result is that Ning Yao will regret it in the future and like someone else. If that person treats her better than me, I will I won’t see Ning Yao again. If Ning Yao always likes me, I will work hard. The next time we meet, I won’t be like this time and can only become a burden to her. No matter she is in the city in the north or in the sword. On the top of the Great Wall of Qi, or on the battlefield further south, I will be by her side and do my best to protect her."

Chen Ping'an's vision was blurred by sweat, and he wiped it quickly before continuing: "If it has nothing to do with the war and it's just two people getting along, then if you like someone, you may think that everything about her is fine, but when you get together in the future, you have to learn It's not good to like her. I know this truth. When I was very young, my parents would quarrel, but they would never quarrel in front of me. After the quarrel, my father would also be bored in the yard. But the next day, the two of them were fine. Although I have always felt that my parents are the best people in the world, but there are no people in the world who are really good at everything. This is definitely not the case, but I I will try my best to know what is right and wrong, what is good and what is bad, and then leave the best to Ning Yao."

The man looked blank.

I’ve finished talking to you kid, what should I say?

Also, you, Chen Pingan, are only a little older, how come you understand all these things?

The woman raised her hand, wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, and then smiled softly: "Chen Pingan, you had a hard time as a child, right?"

Chen Pingan hesitated for a moment, then nodded without saying anything.

But after holding it in for a long time, Chen Pingan frowned again, pressed the corners of his mouth downwards, and said in a trembling voice: "When mother left, I suffered to death. I was too young at that time. I could do nothing." There are too few things, so my mother still left."

Go up the mountain to collect medicines, pawn things at home, cook, carry water, boil medicines, go to the immortal tomb to secretly pray, put a handful of wild fruits in the basket on your back, cover your mother with the quilt in the middle of the night, and ask her how she is today No more...

It's no use, it's no use.

But Chen Pingan only said this and said nothing more.

That is a coffin conclusion that denies oneself.

Too young and done too little.

The woman lowered her head and raised her sleeves again.

The man sighed.

There is so much suffering in the world, is it any wonder?

Any child with a rough life experience, who lacks this?

But the strange thing is that the word "hardship" means how to eat it in the same way.

There is no need to explain the suffering in the world, but it cannot be explained.

The woman breathed out gently, raised her head, and smiled, "Chen Pingan, Ning Yao will be taken care of by you from now on. If there is something wrong with her, you are a man, so you must take more care of her."

Chen Pingan said in a trembling voice: "Are you leaving? What will Ning Yao do if you leave alone?"

The woman stood up and said with a smile: "Ning Yao knows it, everyone knows it, so you don't have to worry about it. I am not Ning Yao's mother, so I say good things about her, but the girl you Chen Ping'an likes. It’s really good.”

Chen Pingan could only nod.

The woman turned to look at the man who stood up together, "Do you have anything to say?"

The man nodded.

The woman said thoughtfully, "Then I'll wait for you outside?"

The man hummed, and the woman walked out of the house and stood at the corner of the corridor.

The man looked at the young man and said in a deep voice: "Chen Pingan!"

The man who had always been lukewarm towards Chen Pingan suddenly laughed, walked around the table, stretched out his generous palm, and patted the young man's shoulder heavily. Then he put away his hand and took a step back, still raising his palm with his palm facing Chen Pingan.

Chen Pingan was stunned for a moment, then quickly stretched out his hands and tapped each other with their palms.

The man held the young man's hand tightly, "Chen Pingan, from now on my daughter, Ning Yao! I will leave it to you to take care of her! Can you take good care of her?"

Chen Pingan choked loudly: "You can die!"

The man let go of his hand and said with a smile: "No matter whether you die or not, live well."

The man looked Chen Pingan up and down and said with satisfaction: "Well, he is worthy of my daughter."

The man turned around and strode away. Chen Pingan wanted to see him off, but the man had already raised his hand, indicating that Chen Pingan did not need to follow.

The man never turned around, slowly walked towards the door, and said with a smile: "Next time when we get to the Great Wall of Sword Qi, let Ning Yao take you to toast us at the grave and say goodbye to your safety."

After the man crossed the threshold, he suddenly turned his head and said with a smile: "What's wrong with drinking? What kind of wine bottle is hidden? The most dashing swordsman in the world loves to drink."

The man stretched out his fist, raised his thumb, and pointed at himself, "For example, your father-in-law wants to marry me!"

Chen Ping'an kept standing where he was.

At the ferry at Shangxianglou, a treasure-eating whale ferry to Tongye Island will set sail today.

Before heading to the ferry, Chen Ping'an first went to the foot of Gufeng Mountain. Since there was no entry jade sign hanging upside down from the mountain, he just looked at the gate from a distance outside the fence, his lips moved slightly, as if talking to himself.

The man holding the sword sitting on the hitching post was still dozing off in broad daylight. He just muttered to himself and said three more words. Compared with the first time, he changed the word "near" to "far". .

When a young man approaches this door, the sword energy is close to him.

The boy who stays away from the upside-down mountain means that the sword energy is far away.

Today's young man from Mubo Alley is wearing a snow-white robe, carrying a long sword on his back, and a sword gourd at his waist. He looks very handsome.

Young man, his innocent thoughts are the most touching.
