Sword of Coming

On the way back, Chen Pingan's mood has returned to normal. The flesh and blood of the bare bones of his arm are slowly growing, and one of the meridians is spreading slowly like grass and vines. It is very mysterious. Chen Pingan looks at it carefully, as if a master is doing it. He thought that the Lu family also raised some secretive martial arts masters, but at the fourth and fifth realms, they definitely didn't have Chen Ping'an's determination.

Chen Pingan watched as he walked, enduring the pain and enjoying it with relish. As he witnessed the growth of those meridians with his own eyes, he greatly benefited from the matter of luck, and some of the crux of the matter that he had not understood at first suddenly became clear. Approaching the Flying Eagle Castle, Chen Ping'an had no choice but to put away his arms to avoid being regarded as a demon by the people of the Flying Eagle Castle. With the golden robe and gold beside him, he could hide this miserable scene in his sleeves without affecting Chen Ping'an. The process of making flesh from bones in peace arm.

Feijian Maimang had already brought back the Five Mountains crown before. Lu Tai weighed it and said that it was an ancient magic weapon with extremely high quality. The drawing of the true shape of the Five Mountains on it showed that both the technique and the shape were perfect. This Five Sacred Crown comes from the Divine Continent of the Middle Earth. It is most likely that later generations were exiled to Tongye Continent, and the pearl was covered with dust. It might first be the natal object of a famous mountain god in the Middle Earth.

Chen Pingan was quite interested in these, and regarded them as enriching his knowledge. As for whether Lu Tai would monopolize the Five Mountains Crown, or deliberately devalued the value of the Five Mountains Crown, Chen Pingan didn't even think about it, because he felt that Lu Tai He is not that kind of person, judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart. The world is complicated and people's hearts are unpredictable, so they can have it, but they can't live it.

The two of them did not go directly to the main building of the Flying Eagle Castle, but quietly returned to the school martial arts field. They put away the magic sword "Infatuated Heart" that Dou Zizhi purchased from the Fuji Sect with a lot of money, and absorbed the hard work and spiritual energy of a monk at the peak of the Dragon Gate Realm. Afterwards, the blade of the long sword became clearer and clearer than snow, with its lines flowing faintly like a stream of autumn water. It became more flexible and radiant. Even Lu Tai, whose eyes were higher than his head, couldn't help but pick up the sword and look at it again, and clicked his tongue. It is surprising that the words of the old devil are true and false, but about the realm, it should be true. The peak of life before falling to the realm, most likely really touched the threshold of the Nascent Soul realm. Golden elixir monks at this level, It’s not bad to be in the Divine Continent of Middle-earth. You can climb with your back straight.

Therefore, this infatuation, or "heart-eating" magic sword to be more accurate, has received a great opportunity.

So Lu Tai advised Chen Ping'an not to sell his infatuation. If he encounters evil monks or demons in the future, he can pierce his heart with a sword. This can not only accumulate moral virtue for himself, but also improve the quality of the sword. It's the best of both worlds. ,Why not.

Seeing Chen Pingan's hesitation, Lu Tai reprimanded Chen Pingan for the first time, saying: "People who practice Taoism don't have to talk about good and evil. That's bullshit. But there is no distinction between good and evil in the world's artifacts and magic weapons. Use evil tools to do things." It’s business, what’s wrong?”

The more Lu Tai talked, the angrier he became. He wanted to point his finger at Chen Pingan's nose and curse, "You can stare at your own bones and raw flesh with wide eyes. Why can't you get over this? Chen Pingan! Are you still so stubborn?" With your temperament, it doesn’t matter if you don’t cultivate the Changsheng Bridge. I advise you to focus on becoming a pure martial artist. Don’t expect any great swordsmen. With your kind of temperament, even if you have the Changsheng Bridge and become a Qi practitioner in the future, then you will not be able to break open. The inner demon in front of the bottleneck of the Five Realms may be bigger than the sky! Do you know that every qi practitioner in the world who has reached the Nascent Soul Realm has the ambition, magical power, perseverance and toughness to compete with the world? They are all great, but why it is so difficult to reach the fifth realm is that the key lies in this pass. The dangerous place is not the catastrophe that the world mistakenly believes. Those are just the surface. The real mortal enemy is one's own heart. No matter how high your Taoist heart is, how strong your character is, and how high your magical power is, it can be as high as hundreds of thousands of feet, and it is as indestructible as the golden body of an ancient god. How can you break it..."

Chen Ping'an didn't refute anything. He just pointed at Lu Tai's nose and whispered, "Here we go again."

Lu Tai stopped talking and wiped the nosebleed vigorously.

It has nothing to do with the general trend of the world, but only involves Chen Ping'an's one-man road. As a descendant of the Lu family of the Yin Yang family, Lu Tai suffered a counterattack from heaven that was much smaller than the previous one.

Chen Pingan suddenly said: "There is someone coming from outside."

Lu Tai glanced at Chen Ping'an. This keen consciousness was probably not inferior to that of a six-level martial artist. Is he really just a fourth-level martial artist?

He became more and more curious about the person who taught Chen Pingan's boxing techniques.

A group of four people cautiously entered the school martial arts field. It was the old Taoist and his apprentice Huang Shang, as well as the brother and sister Huan Chang and Huanshu. The reason why they did not go to the main building was the idea of ​​the sloppy old man. They accidentally met Chen Chen high in the northern mountains and forests. When Ping An and Lu Tai returned to Flying Eagle Castle, the old man decided to meet up here. He first asked about the demon's movements, and then the two groups went to the main building together, which was obviously safer.

The old man called a Taoist priest and introduced himself: "I am a poor Taoist, Ma Feixu, who practices in Yuanyang Mountain. I have the honor to meet Master Lu Xian and Master Chen."

Previously, when Chen Ping'an and Lu Tai entered the Eagle Castle as guests, they only reported their names.

Lu Tai reached out at random, and the bamboo fan appeared out of thin air, shaking it gently, "I come from the Middle Earth Divine Continent."

Chen Ping'an thought for a while, "I am the Great Liren clan of Aquarius Continent."

The old Taoist asked carefully: "Do the two immortal masters know the whereabouts of the devil?"

Lu Tai closed the bamboo fan and pointed it at the old Taoist. When everyone was confused, a Five Sacred Crown appeared on the top of the folding fan. Lu Tai shook his wrist lightly, and the Five Sacred Crown rose and fell. He smiled and said: "He is dead. , a small gain.”

When the old man with the high crown fell from the sea of ​​clouds on a futon, he moved the Five Mountains to suppress the school martial arts field. The old Taoist had a startling glimpse at that time, and was frightened. He had a deep memory of the Five Mountains crown. At this moment, he saw the simple bamboo fan placed on it. Gao Guan, his heart was in turmoil. He couldn't believe that two young men could successfully kill an Earth Immortal who was most likely to be in the Golden Core realm. However, he also extremely hoped that the handsome young man's words would be true.

Yuanyangshan Taoist Taoist Feixi, after all, is a experienced veteran. Even if he is doubtful, his face is still grateful and full of reverence. He once again said solemnly, "The two immortal masters are just... Passing by this place, I encountered a demon trying to kill him by chance, but he was still willing to act righteously and save hundreds of lives in the Eagle Castle from dire straits. His merits are immeasurable. I would like to thank the two immortal masters for their great kindness on behalf of the Eagle Castle!"

Huan Chang and Huan Shu, brother and sister, had tears in their eyes. They hurriedly cupped their hands and clasped their fists, bent down heavily, and said to the two foreign gentlemen respectively: "I can't thank you enough for your kindness. If the two immortal masters don't despise me for being stupid, Huan Chang is willing to do it for them." An immortal master works as a cow or a horse, and goes through fire and water without hesitation!"

"Huan Shu has thanked Mr. Lu and Master Chen. The young lady really doesn't know how to express her gratitude in words..."

The young Taoist priest Huang Shang stood at the back with a complicated expression.

A thought flashed through my mind.

If I worship these two people as my teachers, will my spiritual journey be smoother, and I will no longer be as mediocre as I am now, causing me to encounter demons and evil creatures, and be in danger of life and death everywhere?

Huang Shang glanced at his master's back. The young Taoist priest, who had a difficult time practicing Taoism, lowered his head silently, feeling a little guilty. He felt that he was ungrateful and worse than those demons and heretics.

It's just that this thought in his heart has taken root and sprouted, and it can't go away. Instead, it becomes more and more intense, like a raging fire, burning his heart and making his eyes red.

The doubts and joys of the Taoist priest in the mountains, as well as the haggard mind after the war.

Huan Chang experienced this catastrophe and tried to change his ways. He wanted to work hard and switch from martial arts to spiritual practice.

The two names for Huan Shu have different styles.

And the thoughts of the young Taoist priest.

The corners of Lu Tai's mouth curled up slightly, already taking in everything.

The children of the Yin Yang family are best at reading people's hearts and minds.

Chen Ping'an didn't have deep feelings about these. He only vaguely remembered those subtle expressions and eyes, but he had not yet fully understood the meaning.

After all, every bit of life is not the words in a book.

A group of people rushed to the main building of Flying Eagle Fort. Although Lu Tai said that the dust had settled there and there were no casualties, Huan Chang Huanshu was still trembling, fearing that when she opened the door, she would see a river of blood. When we arrived at the main building, we found that the door was closed. Huan Chang knocked on the door hard. After waiting for a long time, an old man from the Huan family opened the door. After seeing the safe and sound brother and sister, he burst into tears on the spot, which shocked Huan Chang. , thinking that their parents had been poisoned by the man in the whisk, after some explanation, they found out that Master Lu had used his magical power to kill the demon who was pretending to be a monk from Taiping Mountain.

For a moment, all the survivors in the hall felt as if they were in another world.

Huan Chang and Huan Shu didn't notice that their parents were not in the hall, and when they asked about it, everyone's eyes were a little hesitant.

Lu Tai didn't bother to care about the chicken feathers in other people's homes, and just led Chen Ping'an to the rooftop terrace.

The owner of the castle, Huan Yang, is no longer in this strangely named "Shangbalang".

Lu Tai sat on the railing, and Chen Ping'an followed suit. After taking off the sword-raising gourd, he drank strong wine, raised his head, and exhaled a long breath of turbid breath smelling of alcohol.

Lu Tai swayed his feet, slowly shook his fan, and his temples were flying.

Start dividing the spoils and get familiar with the roads.

"In the previous battle with Ma Wanfa and Dou Zizhi, plus today's deadly battle, the two of us were really lucky and made a lot of money. In the past, I might not have had such a gain alone. You must know that I am in the family , but he has the title of 'Treasure Picking Immortal'."

Chen Ping'an smiled, remembering for no reason the female crown prince of the Shen Gao Sect who was known as "the most blessed woman in the world".

"The sword Chixin owned by Dou Zizhi belongs to you, and the crown of the Five Sacred Mountains belongs to me. You can't say it belongs to me. I bought it from you. In addition to the fact that I will help you refine and repair the demon-binding rope, the one you mentioned before This damaged armor pill is the one you bought at Daoxuanshan Lingzhizhai. Haven't you always complained that the armor was split into fifteen pieces and took up a lot of space? I can help you repair it like new for free and turn it into a military armor pill. , Don’t worry about how I did it, the mountain man... has his own clever plan!"

Lu Tai smiled brightly, "So you may need to stay in Eagle Castle for a while, it won't be too long. Just recover from your injuries here and then go look for that Taoist temple."

Chen Ping'an smiled and nodded. He, Chen Ping'an, would not be soft-hearted when dealing with a big dog like Lu Tai.

Lu Tai said slowly: "A top-grade magic weapon, the Five Mountains Crown. I need to give you 20,000 snow coins, which is converted into Guyu money, which is twenty. To hunt down Ma Wanfa and the main building to kill the whisk monk, I actually have it." I made a rough calculation about the harvest. I should pay you another 20,000 pieces of snow money or 20 pieces of grain rain money. Among them, the long handle of the whisk with the word "worry-free" engraved on it is not bad. You can take it. Just think of it as a little bit of luck.”

Chen Ping'an was shocked and said: "So much Guyu money?!"

Lu Tai always looked into the distance and said with a smile: "As for the immortal money on the mountain, I still have some. The ordinary Nascent Soul earth immortals in the Middle Earth Divine Continent don't dare to compare their wealth with me."

Chen Ping'an was so angry that he slapped him in the face, "Then you were in Hanging Mountain before. Why did you cry to me about poverty? Lu Tai, you can do it. You are good at acting, right?"

Lu Tai felt a little guilty and said angrily: "Aren't I afraid that you won't be interested in sex, but will be interested in money?"

"See how rich your uncle is!" Chen Pingan slapped him again, which made Lu Tai angry. "Chen Pingan, be careful if I fall out!"

Chen Pingan laughed and slapped him again.

Lu Tai's eyes flashed, and he was about to use his trump card. Chen Pingan had already made a gesture asking Lu Tai to "stop", then took a sip of wine and said, "You continue."

Lu Tai turned his hand and a beautifully embroidered bag appeared and handed it to Chen Ping'an.

Chen Ping'an frowned and said, "What are you doing?"

Lu Tai smiled and said: "This is a gadget for you. Open it and take a look. You must like it. This is a bag of elm money seeds with a special origin. When you return to your hometown, you can plant them on mountains with better feng shui. You must Xiangyang, in three to five years, maybe there will be an unexpected surprise."

Although Chen Ping'an took over the money bag, he still said: "Let's make it clear first, or I'll give it back to you."

Lu Tai gave a brief explanation, which made Chen Pingan laugh from ear to ear, and quickly put it away. If he didn't return anything, he would just pretend that he hadn't said anything.

It turns out that this bag of elm money is very magical, and it suits Chen Pingan the most. They are the precious seeds of an ancient immortal elm tree in the Divine Continent of Middle-earth. They are named because they are as round and thin as coins.

Homophonous for "surplus money".

Therefore, there is a folk saying that eating elm money can lead to "surplus money", which is considered by most people to be a rumor. In fact, there is no other way. You only need to find the golden essence hidden in the elm coins, soak it in a wine vat first, take it out and eat it raw when you are drunk, and you can increase your copper coin income every year. Well-off families, at the beginning of spring, will hold an "elm money banquet" in order to get lucky and make money in the new year.

Chen Ping'an likes this kind of money income that is expected to flow steadily.

In Chen Ping'an's heart, he always firmly believes that sudden wealth can come and go in a hurry, or it requires great perseverance and hard work to get and hold on to it, but things like Yuqian are not particularly eye-catching. The benefits and benefits can make Chen Pingan feel at ease.

After Chen Ping'an got the benefits, he started to take advantage of it and acted like a good boy. He smiled and said, "Isn't it a little too precious?"

Lu Tai kept opening and closing the bamboo fan with his thumb and index finger, and said with emotion: "Chen Ping'an, when I went to the balcony, I was seeking the Tao. The word "dao", do you know how much this weighs? I don't even know how to convert it into money. , but I think since we are friends, why not forget it? Otherwise, no matter how rich I am in Lutai, I will go bankrupt and still can’t afford this money. So what?”

Chen Pingan handed over the sword-raising gourd in his hand, nodded and said with a smile: "What else can I do? That's it!"

Lu Tai took the jug, raised it high, and poured the wine with his head raised. The sword gourd was a few inches high from his face. He drank the wine very boldly.

Wiping his mouth, he returned the "ginger pot" to Chen Ping'an, "It's time to refill the wine. I'll ask Feiying Castle to fill it up for you later."

Of course Chen Pingan would not refuse such a good thing.

Lu Tai suddenly said helplessly: "Why do everyone like to drink? What's so good about wine?"

Chen Pingan smiled and said nothing, only drank.

After drinking, you dare to think things you dare not think, dare to say things you dare not say, and dare to do things you dare not do.

For ten days after that, Chen Ping'an still lived in that small house, but there were no ghosts or ghosts to disturb him.

Occasionally, Chen Ping'an would sit on the steps at the entrance of the courtyard, looking at the wall at the end of the alley, thinking about those poor ghost children and their last smiling faces in this life.

Lu Tai lives in the main building and occasionally comes to sit in the courtyard here, but he doesn't stay for a short time and will go back to work soon.

Ten days later, Lu Tai got back a military armor pill that was as good as new. Chen Pingan couldn't put it down. The arm had recovered, but it was still not very strong.

In addition to this armor pill from Lingzhi Zhai in Daoxuan Mountain, Lu Tai also brought a narrow knife with a long snow-white scabbard to Chen Ping'an, saying that it was a reward from the Huan family of Feiying Fort, and he would be uneasy if he did not accept it.

This time, Lu Tai took a break from his busy schedule and did not leave in a hurry. He made himself a pot of tea in the courtyard and told Chen Ping'an about the origin of this narrow knife. The Nascent Soul Earth Immortal from Taiping Mountain had to suppress the excesses here. The gloomy Feng Shui gifted the woodcutter ancestor of Feiying Castle a sword named Tingxue. No one in the descendants of Feiying Castle has the qualifications to practice Taoism. From generation to generation, they can only be used as decorations and waste natural resources.

Chen Ping'an knew how precious this narrow knife was, and it was probably the beloved object of the Taiping Mountain land god. Lu Tai thought about it for a moment, and then he didn't want to be like the boy who was throwing away money, and discounted the narrow knife into twenty Grain Rain coins. , and then he threw a bag of Guyu coins to Chen Pingan, which happened to be the remaining twenty coins.

In the next ten days, Chen Pingan's daily routine consisted of walking, practicing swordplay and sleeping. He no longer looked at the wall. After all, reunions and partings were short-lived. Even if it was a major matter of life or death, he would eventually let go of it, just like the people in a city wine shop. A glass of wine, no matter how good it tastes, can it still make people drunk for several days?

In this ten days, Lu Tai came only once, saying that he had accepted three disciples.

Tao Xieyang, a young man named Huan Yin, and a young Taoist priest who changed his family, Huang Shang.

As for the reason, Lu Tai did not want to say more. He only said six words: "If you don't approach evil, you don't know good."

Before Lu Tai left, he said that he might really have to live here for a long time and would not return to the Middle-earth Divine Continent in a short time.

When Lu Tai brought the demon-binding rope for the last time, Chen Ping'an had almost mastered it.

Parting is imminent.

There's nothing sad about it.

One has a dream, and the other is the beginning of the road. There is no reason to be too sad about the spring and autumn.

So we parted ways simply, one stayed at the Flying Eagle Castle in a foreign land, and the other headed north with his sword on his back.

Lu Tai didn't even see him off, he just stood on the upper balcony and watched from a distance as Chen Pingan, who was dressed in white robe, slowly left.

He previously encouraged Chen Pingan to hang up the long sword Chixin and the narrow knife Zingxue, which must be very heroic. Unfortunately, Chen Pingan was not fooled, saying that I didn't run a weapons shop.

Lu Tai felt a little regretful.

If Chen Ping'an really did it, Lu Tai could openly laugh at him and say he was stupid.

After walking out of the gate and walking on the avenue, Chen Ping'an couldn't help but look back at Flying Eagle Castle, but not at the land platform. Instead, he remembered something and felt a little strange. He finally shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

On the way out of Flying Eagle Castle, I passed a middle-aged man on the street. I clearly couldn't remember seeing him before, but I always felt like I had seen him somewhere.

The honest man also noticed Chen Ping'an's appraising eyes and grinned, a little shy, just like a businessman.

After Chen Ping'an left the Eagle Castle, the simple man wandering around lightly stamped his feet, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and there was no longer any forbidden magic.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Fuje Sect to remain indifferent to the huge commotion in the previous battle over the sea of ​​clouds.

Lu Tai was lying on the railing, smiling as he watched the reversal of luck in the mountains and rivers. There were many mysteries. He was worthy of being his mentor, and he was still much better than another mentor.

On a mountain top a hundred miles away, while Chen Pingan was walking, for some reason, he missed the taste of candied haws for the first time. This made Chen Pingan feel a little funny, thinking that now that his family has a big business, he would go to the next town. , just find a vendor selling candied haws, buy two skewers, one on your left hand and one on your right!
