Sword of Coming

After the Water Goddess finished speaking, there was no answer for a long time. When she raised her head and looked up, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She saw that the young master was already sitting up and fast asleep, only snoring slightly.

She smiled knowingly. The young master's freedom and peace of mind may not seem very particular, but in her eyes, he was no less than a human hero who "kills people every ten steps and leaves no trace for a thousand miles".

The buried river water god thought for a while and was about to carry Chen Pingan on his back and go to his mansion to rest. Pei Qian, as if facing a powerful enemy, hurriedly protected Chen Pingan and asked, "What do you want to do?"

The Water Goddess rolled her eyes and said: "Is it possible that he should sleep here until midnight? There must be a comfortable big bed to lie on, otherwise I, Biyou Mansion, will not be able to treat guests."

Pei Qian snorted and warned, "Then be careful and don't wake up my father."

At the same time, Pei Qian carefully hung the sword gourd on Chen Pingan's waist again.

If she lost this wine bottle, she would probably be beaten to death by Chen Ping'an or scolded to death.

There is no way, in Chen Ping'an's heart, she is the least valuable.

The Water Goddess didn't care about the title with her little girl. She naturally saw at a glance that Mr. Chen and the little girl were definitely not related by blood. As for why they traveled together in the world together for a long time, it was probably fate. Destinies come and go, and the most wonderful thing is that from tonight to this morning, who could have imagined that Chen Ping'an, who came to Biyou Mansion for the first time, would bring her such a great opportunity? It should be noted that the way to the Shinto can only rely on the accumulation of incense over time. It is more difficult to improve than a spiritual practitioner or a pure martial artist. Just imagine, in addition to the imperial edict, the emperor's decree, and the destiny of a country, the advancement of the mountains and rivers gods. In exchange for ascending to the throne of a certain god, the only option is to collect the essence of incense one by one from the faithful men and women and sincere pilgrims in the temple.

The Goddess of Water moved gently and carried this young man who was the best wine drinker in the world. He was not heavy. She did not use her magical powers to shrink into an inch and go directly to the small courtyard. Instead, she carried Chen Ping'an on her back, step by step. Go, this is unprecedented patience for the impatient River Burial God. She was curious how such a young man could have so much knowledge in his belly. How could he be regarded as the cultural heir by Master Literary Saint and Qi Jingchun? He should have been a young man at that time, right?

If it was really a young man who heard the Tao, how good his background and talent would he have to be? Could it be that the favored son of heaven who was reincarnated by the legendary gods and knew them from birth?

But when she thought about it, she felt something was wrong. Master Literary Saint, I have never seen any genius, he should not be as tacky as her.

Pei Qian was walking beside the Water Goddess, looking up at her face all the time. Seeing that the owner of the mansion was smiling a little strangely, the little girl finally couldn't help but ask, "Do you like my dad?"

The Water Goddess shook her head and said softly: "No, I don't like it, and I don't think I'm worthy of it. If I have to choose a scholar in the world as my husband, I probably prefer that sloppy gentleman to such a man. Only by being married as a woman can you live a good life. It is difficult for Mr. Chen to do this."

If she fell in love with Chen Pingan, Pei Qian would be angry, but when she heard that the Buried River God said she didn't like him, she became even more angry and blurted out: "You are blind!"

The Water Goddess turned to look at the angry little girl and said with a smile: "Hey, do all the women in the world have to like Chen Ping'an to be considered blind?"

Pei Qian snorted coldly, with an arrogant expression like "You bitch has long hair and short knowledge, I won't talk nonsense with you."

The Water Goddess was already in a good mood. Seeing Pei Qian's appearance, she laughed out loud. Pei Qian, who felt that he had been underestimated, became even more angry, "Why are you laughing? My father is your benefactor, and I am his." Daughter, I am your little benefactor, please be more respectful!"

The Water Goddess stepped slowly and asked softly: "How about I give you a thank you gift?"

Pei Qian's eyes lit up, but he soon became depressed and said feebly: "Forget it, you can give Chen Ping'an as a gift yourself. I don't dare to accept gifts randomly. Otherwise, when he wakes up, he will definitely think that I have no tutor and don't understand etiquette. That’s it. Good intentions are nothing but a donkey’s liver and lungs, why should I bother to come? Do you think so?”

The Water Goddess couldn't help but laugh. She finally suppressed her smile and said seriously: "It's okay. I have something valuable to give to Chen Pingan. As for you, since you are 'Chen Pingan's daughter', as an elder, I meet you for the first time and give it to you." I'll give you some things, even if you hide them secretly so that Chen Pingan doesn't find out, it's not too much, and it's not a big deal. Besides, you won't use it to do evil. Afterwards, Chen Pingan will know about it, and he will scold you a few times at most. It’s not painful or itchy, so what are you afraid of?”

Pei Qian was slightly moved, but he quickly sneered: "How come you don't know that I don't do bad things? I am very bad. If I get some extremely powerful fairy treasure, or learn an incredible magic trick, When I see someone I don't like, I kill them as soon as I meet them. Even Chen Pingan can't stop him! However, if Chen Pingan can't beat me, I will take care of his face and only kill him when I am alone. Kill, kill, kill more efficiently than that big bad guy named Zhu, the old guy, and that ugly bitch named 'Rouyou' who keeps a stinky face all day long, just like I usually eat when I'm hungry, blink of an eye It’s time for Chen Ping’an to serve me another big bowl of white rice!”

The little girl became happier as she talked.

The words of the Water Goddess were thrilling.

It wasn't until this moment that I realized what kind of little freak Chen Pingan had brought with him.

Talking about killing someone is like eating a meal, and it's not the kind of horrifying remarks that ignorant children like to make.

The Water Goddess' eyes changed and she observed Pei Qian carefully again.

Pei Qian suddenly said angrily: "You, the Goddess of Water, are so evil-minded and repay kindness with hatred! Are you deliberately trying to harm me? You only want Chen Pingan to see that I have made a big mistake and drive me out of the house. You can take the opportunity to be a good person and take me in." , you want me to be a maid serving you tea and water in Biyou Mansion?"

The Water Goddess remained silent, while carrying the sleeping Chen Pingan on her back, she lowered her head and looked at the dark and petite little girl.

She deliberately made her eyes cold, deliberately concealing it, but also revealing it a bit, and asked with a smile: "Is this how you look at me?"

Sure enough, Pei Qian immediately took a step back, pretending to smile lightly and said, "Water Goddess, I'm kidding you."

The Water Goddess understood clearly.

This little girl with a golden figure definitely has a good background, and there is almost no need to expect to control this person's mind.

The Water Goddess remembered for no reason that Pei Qian had arrived with the water. Chen Pingan said softly, and the little girl immediately went back to put back the water essence. She seemed to be completely following her heart and had no intention of disobeying her.

The Water Goddess finally found some clues.

Then he praised the young man behind him in his heart.

Pei Qian was happy, "You were scaring me just now."

The Water Goddess was a little helpless. Does the little girl really have a keen intuition to understand the ups and downs of people's hearts? How tiring would it be if someone spent time with her day and night?

He sent Chen Ping'an to the most elegant single-family courtyard in Biyou Mansion. The doors of the courtyard door opened by themselves, and he placed him on a bed with luxurious bedding. Pei Qian shouted to get out of the way and helped Chen Ping'an get out of the house. He took off his boots and covered himself with the quilt, then sat down on the edge of the bed and stared at the Water Goddess. The latter smiled and said, "You have your own place to sleep. I will take you there right now."

Pei Qian shook his head vigorously and said, "I have to keep vigil for my father to guard against bad guys."

The Water Goddess joked: "Okay, don't think about flattering, Chen Pingan has really fallen asleep."

Pei Qian was doubtful and looked back at Chen Ping'an. Then he stood up and said with a smile: "Then take me to relax for a while. I'm so sleepy. But remember, when my father wakes up, he greets me immediately. We still have to worry. We are on our way, and we have agreed to follow the big team after dawn, and my father always keeps his word."

The Water Goddess was completely convinced by this brat. After leaving the house with Pei Qian, she curiously asked: "Big team? What's going on?"

Pei Qian hesitated for a moment and briefly talked about the situation of the Yao family's team.

The Water Goddess nodded, "No problem, you can sleep peacefully for two hours. Then I will send you to the upper reaches of the Buried River at once just like last night."

Pei Qian felt relieved and followed this extremely wealthy short winter melon woman to her residence, which was in a nearby courtyard. He was picky and disgusted, but in his heart, he was already filled with envy. I thought that when I had a lot of money in the future, I would definitely have such a big house, such a rich and elegant house, and I would have to pave the floor with gold and silver, and fill the house with yellow paper talismans.

Arrange Chen Ping'an and the little girl with ghosts and ghosts.

The Water Goddess arrived outside the gate of Biyou Mansion in one step, looked up at the plaque, and was lost in thought.

She took another step backwards and stepped out, and instantly arrived at the Water God Temple where her golden body was enshrined. There was still about a quarter of an hour before the doors opened to greet pilgrims, and she strode into the main hall.

Previously, she had formed a golden elixir realm and had a natural vision, which made hundreds of pilgrims outside the door bow before her. She was extremely sincere. She also had a feeling in Biyou Mansion in the distance, and had some understanding of the incense of Shinto. .

The golden clay statue on the altar in the main hall has been restored to its original shape, and its divine light is no longer exposed, shining on the buried river. The statue actually only looks 45% similar to her own appearance, and the statue of a woman has a graceful figure and fluttering sleeves. The lines are agile, like a god wearing heavenly clothes, and the walls are moving in the wind.

She always felt that she was not herself at all, and that she had overly beautified her appearance. But this was the rule of landscape gods and temple statues. The earliest temple blessing woman was rescued from drowning, and she gave up her life and gave up her life. In order to achieve wealth and status in the world, she served as a temple blessing at the Water Temple. She served as a temple blessing for fifty years. From a young woman, she slowly turned into a white-haired old woman. Because she had no cultivation qualifications, she only lived to be eighty years old and died. , it was this temple blessing who was diligent and diligent, traveling around to help him win over believers, and opened a porridge shop to relieve the people year after year. When he was dying, the old woman held the hand of the Water Goddess, as delicate as mutton fat, and said with a hoarse smile The empress is still so beautiful, but the craftsmanship of the golden statue is still not good. If it is not as beautiful as the empress, it is because she was a bad temple blessing. Finally, with tears in her eyes, the old woman asked the Water Goddess, just four words, "Has it disappeared?"

Before the Water Goddess could give her answer, the old woman died.

The temple priest who was devout even to death was actually not a good person in the world's eyes from the beginning. When she was young, the man was a businessman and often went out. She couldn't bear the loneliness, so she hooked up with another man. After the incident was revealed, she even... She killed her husband by colluding with a wild man, then successfully remarried, seized all the property of her ex-husband, and bullied her. After a few years of happiness, they got together due to bad karma and separated due to bad retribution. During a spring outing, she was moved by someone else. He was beaten half to death and thrown into the river.

Only then was she rescued by the little water god who was buried in a prostitution temple in the river at that time.

All these things, the Water Goddess has never been able to solve the puzzle.

It wasn't until I read the moral article of the literary saint that human nature is inherently evil and needs to be educated to be good, that the God of the Buried River suddenly came to his senses.

As the god of buried rivers, she can see people's hearts with the help of incense. Originally, she hated the ugliness of people's hearts, and even rejected those incense. She always felt that every time someone made a wish, she would be burdened with a little more bad karma. After that, she His state of mind began to change. He took control of the waters of the Buried River to control it and deter evil thoughts. At the same time, he teamed up with several city gods on both sides of the river to show their spirits several times and prayed for rain to the court. He spared no effort to use his magical powers, even if he tried his best to do so. When your body is weakening and your golden body becomes dim, you must strive to respond to requests. Regardless of whether the incense comes from good intentions or greed, you must at least have a clear conscience first.

But hundreds of years passed, and when her patience finally ran out, she began to visit the Water God Temple less and less, preferring to stay in the Biyou Mansion behind closed doors, focusing solely on relying on the Immortal Dao. formula, and concentrate on refining one weapon after another in order to pass the boring life of a god. There is also a more important inside story, because the ancient inheritance of the formula can not only refine weapons, but also refine the buried river. Water can also be used to refine incense in the human world. It is truly the great magical power of the immortal family that can apply one method to all.

I originally thought that since the little girl named Pei Qian was destined to come here and had such good qualifications, maybe it was God's will that Pei Qian could inherit his divine status and this supreme Taoist secret. It's a pity. It seems that this is not the case, so we can only wait. The inheritance of the divine position is exactly the same as the recruitment of disciples by a Qi practitioner. It is never a trivial matter. If he is not careful, not only will the disciples suffer disaster, but the master will also be implicated in his death, or he will teach an immature white-eyed wolf who will deviate from the teachings and deceive the master and destroy his ancestors.

For example, how learned is the literary sage whom she most admires and admires? Can Cui Chan be taught differently?

The morning sun shone from the window into the main hall on the ground. The Water Goddess looked away and sighed softly.

The old woman from the temple stood at the door, with a lot of tears of excitement and joy on her wrinkled old face. It was really great news.

The Goddess of Water ascended to the throne and buried everyone in the River Water God Temple. Naturally, one of them got the Tao, and the chickens and dogs followed her up to heaven. From now on, not only will the river monster keep its tail between its legs and not dare to cause trouble, but everyone from the governor's mansion in the prefecture city, to the county and city offices, and to the county offices everywhere will probably have to put on a more respectful face. That's the one The arrogant governor who relies on his status as a benefactor might be more polite to him in the future.

The old woman who prayed in the temple asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, the City God, Land Lord, and some river uncles near our burial river have almost all come to congratulate your Majesty. They know your Majesty's temper and don't dare to disturb Biyou Mansion. They are all prepared." Okay, Chongli, are you waiting outside this temple, see you or not? If the empress is tired, I can help you to shirk her, and they won’t dare to say anything."

The Water Goddess said calmly: "I still have some time, let's meet them. Protecting the destiny of a place and educating the 900,000 people under its jurisdiction is not something we can do with just one Water Temple. We need to work together."

The old woman was extremely surprised. She didn't know why the lazy Water Goddess changed her temper, but it was a good thing after all. She immediately turned around to receive the order.

As long as the empress is willing to spend some time to attract the gods of mountains and rivers from all over the world, she will definitely be able to respond to hundreds of calls and become the veritable number one spring water god!

Since the death of the first-generation temple blessing woman, the Buried River Temple has changed one after another, but she has always had no emotions. She comes and goes, life and death, it is just like that.

At this moment, the Water Goddess, who was alone, seemed to be having a conversation with an old friend, and said with a smile: "I heard that there are two families in Mirage City who are best at shaping statues of gods. The Zhang family is known to have a short and pretty face, which adds to its charm. Cao Cao The family's style is known as the clothes that float and float, which one do you think is more suitable for me? Which craftsman do you like better?"

She raised the corners of her mouth, smiled with squinted eyes, and waved her hand, "You don't have to think about it. Just choose whichever company has a loud voice and a higher price. Now we don't need you to worry about money!"

At dawn, at the riverside post house, the old general Yao Zhen was a little surprised when he found that Chen Pingan did not show up for breakfast. Zhu Lian smiled and explained that the young master had not returned from his trip. Last night, he had an impromptu idea to pay homage to the temple buried in the river. The old general might as well go first. If you hurry up, the young master will definitely follow you.

Yao Zhen laughed and said that this guy was really dishonest. If he had known this, he should have dragged him along last night. It didn't matter if he delayed his trip for a day or two.

Zhu Lian didn't say anything more, smiled and stepped back, sitting at a table with Lu Baixiang and the other three.

Lu Baixiang looked at him, Zhu Lian shook his head and smiled: "Don't ask me, the young master did not ask me to follow him at that time. He only said to return as soon as possible and let me say hello to the post house."

Wei Xian just immersed himself in drinking porridge, his chopsticks flying like flying balls.

The one on the right side of Sui Dynasty has the most unique charm among the four "retinues" in both his sitting posture and his eating.

Even the most heartless of the Yao family's cavalrymen felt that this beautiful woman carrying a sword was definitely not an ordinary person and was not a retinue that any Daquan family master could have.

Lu Baixiang frowned.

Zhu Lian smiled and said: "Why, don't you trust me? Even if I have the intention, do I have the ability?"

Seeing that Lu Baixiang was unwilling to talk to him, Zhu Lian smiled even more.

The two Taoist masters and disciples sitting in the corner, Yin Miaofeng and Shao Yuanran, looked at each other and did not say a word about it.

But between the two of them, their voices sounded.

Shao Yuanran drank a bowl of millet porridge and asked in his heart: "Could the vision in the middle of the night after the burial of the river temple have something to do with this person?"

Yin Miaofeng replied: "Maybe. Logically speaking, it is unlikely. After all, the induction of heaven and earth caused by the Water Goddess is a great atmosphere that forms a golden elixir. Even the gentleman Zhong Kui may not have this ability to help her. . But this Mr. Chen, whose origin is unknown, cannot be inferred by common sense. We don’t need to pay attention to it. As long as there are no unforeseen complications, we can already report to Daquan Liu. Whether Biyou Mansion is promoted to the palace, there is always a gentleman from the academy. Well, it's a blessing. Now that the River Buried God has advanced by his own ability, we can actually use it to say something about the visit we made last night. As a teacher, maybe I can help you get some benefits."

Shao Yuanran nodded. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the Yao woman who had put on her curtain hat again, and said nothing.

Although Yao Xianzhi and Yao Lingzhi are direct descendants of the Yao family and are highly regarded, they are not qualified to sit at the same table as their grandfather Yao Zhen. The people sitting in the three seats are all veterans who have followed Yao Zhen for most of their lives. The level of quality. Yao Zhen took it as a matter of course, and the three veterans didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Yao Xianzhi blinked at Yao Lingzhi and pursed his lips.

Yao Lingzhi asked: "What to do?"

Yao Xianzhi lowered his voice, "Do you think Mr. Chen met a blind guy and went to slay demons and demons in all directions? Think about it, Mr. Chen, with his own power, killed hundreds of miles of demons buried in the river. A ghost crying and a wolf howling, does this picture make the thief heroic?"

Yao Lingzhi said angrily: "You haven't woken up yet, right? You like to dream during the day?"

Yao Xianzhi raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you think Mr. Chen can't do it?"

Yao Lingzhi said: "I don't think there are that many ghosts in the river. After all, there is a water temple pressing down on it."

Yao Xianzhi laughed and said: "Let me tell you, you actually believe in your heart that Mr. Chen has this ability."

Yao Lingzhi frowned, "Drink your porridge!"

Yao Xianzhi smiled happily and said, "The porridge is particularly delicious today!"

What young man doesn't admire that true hero?

————

Chen Pingan woke up suddenly and sat up from the bed, sweating profusely.

After thinking about it carefully, I felt a little more at ease. In my memory, I only talked about the order of Mr. Wen Sheng, not much about the dispute between the Three and Four, and not much about Mr. Qi. But even so, when I meet the Goddess of the Buried River later, I still have to remind you that when you chat behind closed doors, you can speak and behave unscrupulously. When you open the door, don't talk about it anymore, otherwise Chen Ping'an will leave as soon as he is gone. Afterwards, I returned to Aquarius Continent early, but you, the Water Goddess, are not allowed to move to the Golden Body of Biyou Mansion or the Ancestral Temple.

Glancing at the pair of boots under the bed, he was stunned for a moment. The tips of the boots were placed inward. Chen Pingan shook his head, okay, are you afraid that I don't know that you helped take off the boots? You are so smart, why don't you want to spend more time reading?

After leaving the house, Chen Ping'an stood in the courtyard. It was probably Chen Shi's tail. The Yao family team should have already set off. He and Pei Qian needed to hurry up, not to mention the three hundred miles of buried river waterway to the post house. It was delayed for more than an hour.

However, after drinking the hundred-year-old water-splash wine last night, I felt refreshed and refreshed. My body and bones were almost healed after the inn battle, and my mood was relaxed and at ease. It was like an old house that had accumulated too many miscellaneous things. Objects, even if their owners regard them as treasures, will definitely become more pleasing to the eye if they are tidied up one day.

There was a young maid standing at the entrance of the courtyard. She was the water ghost who took Pei Qian to see the screen wall last night. She smiled brightly at Chen Ping'an and said, "Mr. Chen, your Majesty wants me to wait here. I just want to wait here." When the young master wakes up, we will lead him to the hall where he drank last night."

Chen Pingan walked quickly with a smile and asked, "That little girl I brought?"

The maid pursed her lips and smiled, wording her words carefully, and explained: "The lady got up earlier and only slept for less than an hour before she woke up. Then I took her to visit Biyou Mansion. The lady was lively and cheerful. , everyone in the house likes it very much.”

Chen Pingan hesitated for a moment, then asked bluntly: "She didn't ask for anything from your Biyou Mansion, did she?"

The maid quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, really not."

He's also someone who can't lie.

Chen Pingan said helplessly: "If she asks for something too valuable, we won't take it away. If it's something ordinary, I can pay for it."

The maid said anxiously: "She only wanted some pen and paper purchased by Biyou Mansion from the market. She said that she would learn to draw talismans from today on. She also said that she would return the money to Biyou Mansion sooner or later. Mr. Chen, just These ordinary pens and papers are really worthless. Please don’t blame the young lady. Why don’t you just treat them as my gift to the young lady? Young Master doesn’t know that I haven’t interacted with people for several years. The young lady is willing to talk to me. I’m very happy. Happy, just like celebrating the New Year when I was still alive.”

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Then I will treat it as if you gave it to her, but I will let her say thank you to you when the time comes."

The maid smiled brightly and turned sideways to give a blessing, "Young Master is considerate and I hope you can come to our Biyou Mansion as a guest often in the future."

When she saw Pei Qian, she smiled brightly.

Chen Pingan asked: "Don't you have anything to say?"

Pei Qian glared at the female ghost behind Chen Pingan, and angrily took out a small regular script writing brush with rabbit hair from his sleeve, then lifted up his coat and found that a large pile of rice paper was hidden close to his body.

She quickly said: "I told Sister Xuanhua that I borrowed this Japanese paper from Biyou Mansion, and I will definitely pay it back in the future! I was just afraid that you wouldn't agree, so I hid it."

Chen Pingan asked: "Even if you make money in the future, do you know how far away Aoping Continent is from Tongye Continent? How will you pay it back in the future? If you let Xianjia Ferry help send the money, you can use it in Nanyuan Kingdom I bought a house in the capital. Are you sure you can earn so much money?"

Pei Qian looked confused.

Chen Ping'an sneered: "Maybe you know this, so you said you are willing to pay back the money?"

Pei Qian smiled awkwardly and his eyes wandered, but he didn't dare to look at Chen Ping'an.

Chen Pingan reached out his hand.

Pei Qian said with a sad face: "No hitting on the head, no pulling on the ears, just hit anywhere else!"

Chen Pingan laughed angrily and said, "Put away the pen and paper. This sister just said that she gave it to you as a parting gift."

Pei Qian handed the pen and paper to Chen Pingan, looked at the pretty female ghost who was covering her mouth and smiling, with a grateful expression, "Sister Xuanhua, you are so kind, no, you are so good at being a ghost, You should be made the Water Goddess."

Chen Pingan put the object into the square inch object in the sword gourd and glanced at Pei Qian.

Pei Qian immediately woke up and bowed to the maid to thank him.

Two people and a female ghost arrived in the hall, and the Water Goddess had been waiting for a long time.

Compared to the carefree and heroic Buried River Goddess before, today she finally looked like the Empress of the Water Goddess, and she put on a dress similar to that of a royal imperial concubine.

After the maid Xuanhua retreated, the Water Goddess spoke straight to the point, saying in a deep voice: "Chen Ping'an, the kindness of a drop of water is repaid by a spring, let alone a kindness that is greater than the sky. I have to give you something, otherwise I will feel guilty. .I thought about it for a moment, and there is nothing in Biyou Mansion that you can take a fancy to. The weapons I refined myself are of decent quality. They are just two magic weapons. They are my life treasures and cannot be given to you. , the rest of the weapons are not of high enough quality. Having said that, even if I gave them all to you, it is still not enough to repay my gratitude, so I want to give you the Immortal Family’s refining formula on the rain-praying monument outside the temple."

The Water Goddess took out a jade slip and said, "I hope you'd better destroy it immediately after you write down this secret. It's not that I'm stingy. The inscription contains the foundation of the enlightenment of an ancient immortal. It's a great chance and a great cause and effect. It is not necessarily a good thing if it is spread easily, but it will be a disaster if it cannot be carried."

Chen Ping'an nodded without saying anything, then smiled and reached out to take it, and neatly put it into the Fifteen Flying Swords.

The Water Goddess was surprised and said: "Don't shirk a thing or two, say a few polite words to me? You come and go with me, it shows your true love even more."

Chen Ping'an held back his laughter, "To be honest, I really need a superior weapon refining formula. At first, for no apparent reason, the Yin Shen wandered into the night. With the thought, I went straight to your Water Temple. The opportunity Zhong Kui said should be there. That’s what I’m saying. If God doesn’t take back what he gives, he will be blamed for it.”

The Goddess of Water scratched her head, "That's the truth, but I always feel that something is missing. If you refuse outright and just say something like "a gentleman behaves without expecting anything in return", I will cry, make trouble, and hang myself again, and I will give you life or death. , you have to accept it, and in the end the guests and hosts parted happily, how interesting it was."

Chen Pingan smiled and said nothing.

After that, the Water Goddess will take the two of them to the Buried River. She still uses her previous magical powers to send them to the posthouse on the upper reaches of the Buried River. The mountains and rivers have traveled thousands of miles in a single thought. This is the landscape god that is most envied by Qi practitioners. One of the Shinto magic techniques, the other one should be that as long as the gods are in their own incense temple, they will have additional power similar to that of a Confucian saint sitting in an academy or a real person in a Taoist temple.

The Water Goddess probably didn't want to say goodbye too quickly, so she led them on foot towards the gate of Biyou Mansion.

Approaching the gate, she suddenly asked: "Chen Ping'an, do you have any works or classics by Master Literary Saint? It's best if they are the ones that Master Literary Saint gave you personally. Don't worry, I won't enshrine them in the Water Temple openly. That's not the case. I was so careless about life and death that I secretly hid it in Biyou Mansion and put it together with the tablet that I carved privately. This was not only one of my biggest wishes, but also due to my utilitarianism. Now my Shinto has taken a big step forward. Step by step, my cultivation level has skyrocketed, but from now on, I need to truly read the moral knowledge of Master Literary Saint and bring it to life. My intuition tells me that once I succeed, I can make further progress, maybe Even the Five Sacred Temples of the Daquan Dynasty are inferior to my river-buried temple."

Seeing that Chen Pingan was silent, the Water Goddess stopped and for the first time showed a pleading look, "Chen Pingan, please."

Chen Pingan thought for a long time, "The old gentleman gave me an introductory book on Confucianism, but it was not his work."

The Goddess of Water's face was full of surprise, "As long as it is a book that has passed the hands of Master Literary Saint, it will be fine! I am not stupid, there must be the true meaning of the great truth in the book!"

In Chen Ping'an's mind, he recalled the heroic figure of the little woman he met for the first time, carrying a sword on her shoulder and an iron gun that was almost as tall as her, fighting the river monster at the bottom of the river. He was so generous and energetic. He even remembered what she said to him and Zhong Kui when she appeared outside the Water Temple. From beginning to end, there was no arrogance at all. Zhong Zheng was so peaceful that he didn't look like a god, but a real scholar.

Chen Pingan sighed, turned to the little girl and said: "Pei Qian, you should have memorized the book I asked you to read over and over again, otherwise you should give it to the Water Goddess, right?"

The Water Goddess was stunned for a moment, her tone was actually asking?

A scene appeared that made the Water Goddess even more confused.

Pei Qian bit his lips and refused to speak, let alone nod.

Chen Pingan took off the sword-raising gourd and took a sip of wine.

The Goddess of Water gritted her teeth and said: "In fact, our Biyou Mansion still has a treasure that is the treasure of the house. It is extremely rare and is no worse than the fairy's saying. As long as you are willing to donate books, I will reciprocate!"

Then she looked at Pei Qian with a smile, "In addition to repaying Chen Pingan, I will also give you another good thing. I dare not say it is priceless, but it is also a first-class rare treasure."

But Pei Qian just stood there, saying nothing or nodding, and clenched the corners of his clothes tightly with his two little hands.

She was also afraid that Chen Pingan would be angry with her and hate her even more from now on, but she was also afraid that Chen Pingan would nod and agreed to the Water Goddess.

At this moment, Chen Ping'an didn't care about the sword gourd. He bent down, smiled at Pei Qian, rubbed her little head, "If you don't want to, forget it."

Pei Qian hugged Chen Pingan and burst into tears.

Chen Ping'an didn't know what this guy was thinking or why he was crying. He smiled helplessly at the Water Goddess, "I'm sorry, but after I return to Aquarius Continent, I will try to find a copy for you and send it to you then. As for repaying the favor, Those who don’t repay are of no use.”

The Water Goddess sighed, looked at Chen Ping'an, then at Pei Qian, and said sadly: "This is the only way."

They came to the bank of the Mi River, and Chen Pingan jumped into the water with Pei Qian on his back.

The Water Goddess rolled up her sleeves, and the strange whirlpool that Zhu Lian had seen appeared again in the river.

The next moment, she, Chen Ping'an and Pei Qian were standing in the buried river three hundred miles away, one of them drifting and the other stepping on the water.

The Water Goddess stood on the shore.

Chen Pingan said goodbye and left. After walking a certain distance, he probably said something to Pei Qian. The crying little girl turned her head and waved goodbye to the Water Goddess.

The Water Goddess smiled and waved.

Lopsided.

Pei Qian behind him kept sobbing.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "You didn't do anything wrong, why are you crying?"

The little girl pressed her head against Chen Pingan, "I'm sorry."

Chen Ping'an: "Huh?"

The little girl was heartbroken, "You're right, I'm a loser."

Chen Pingan laughed angrily and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Remember to study hard and pay attention in the future."

Pei Qian sniffed and nodded vigorously.

Chen Pingan said angrily: "Don't wipe your nose on me."

Pei Qian leaned back a little, helped wipe the tears and snot from Chen Pingan's back, and smiled, "Hey!"

Until the figures of one large and one small disappeared into the distance.

The Water Goddess laughed heartily.

Sure enough, this is the direct disciple of Master Literary Saint!

Chen Pingan had planned to give the book as a gift. If he heard that there was still that valuable treasure that could be exchanged, how many people in the world would really care about the wishes of a little girl next to him?

After she put away her smile, her face became solemn, and she bowed to the end in the direction of Chen Pingan's departure.

Sure enough, there is a sequence of hearing.

Last night we sat down to talk about the Tao, and today we get up and practice it. This is called the unity of knowledge and action.

Chen Pingan is truly a master and a true gentleman!
