Sword of Coming

After Du Mao, the ancestor of the Tongye Sect's resurgence, disappeared for no reason, the entire Old Dragon City fell into a strange calm, at least on the surface.

After Du Mao "killed" Zheng Dafeng who walked down the dragon platform and the strange stranger in a snow-white robe with a snap of his fingers, even though the old immortal Du was gone, the remaining power was still like the invisible sea of ​​clouds above his head. The reverberation filled the entire Old Dragon City, making all the top leaders of the five major families dare not take a deep breath.

Because I had witnessed Patriarch Du’s immortal supernatural powers first, some unexpected situations that were originally major events were forcibly crushed to pieces. For example, the Fu family secretly instructed the Ding Fanghou clan to send out to intercept and kill them. The guests of Zheng Dafeng and his party died. According to the oral statement of a Longmen realm monk who was responsible for the scout duty and survived by chance, the four warrior followers of the young man in white were all amazingly lethal and fearless of death. They were able to inflict injuries on When changing lives, there was no hesitation. Two of them died in the battle, a stunning woman who was good at controlling swords, and an old madman who liked to tear people apart. After that, the sea of ​​clouds dropped beams of light like the sword cultivator's natal flying sword, causing the originally They were able to surround and kill the two remaining monks and kill them on the spot. The most egregious thing was that the tall man with the knife took the weird long sword and stabbed the hearts of the corpses.

After learning the bad news, the three major surnames gathered hurriedly and secretly to discuss the matter. Du Yan got the news, but did not come to join in the fun. So everyone speculated whether the Fu family and Du Yan had set up a big scheme, using Zheng Dafeng as a deception. , lure the snake out of its hole, and use the most "justifiable" and least expensive way to strangle the monks who were worshiped by the three major families to suppress the bottom of the box?

Otherwise, why would Fu Qi, as the head of the family and the city, the banner figure of the entire Old Dragon City, be willing to show off his face not long after the daughter of the Yunlin Jiang family got married, agreeing that only one person could leave the Dragon Platform alive? A heroic fight to the death, but Fu Qi gave up to Zheng Dafeng after scratching his itch, and left it to the immortal Du to deal with Zheng Dafeng. Wasn't this a premeditated plan? It seems that they still underestimated the ambition of the Fu family, or are they so determined that they are not willing to give these three big surnames even this scrap?

On the spot, some people slapped the table and glared, saying that the Fu family was so cruel and vicious, so don't blame them for breaking the pot. In the end, we will see if half of the Old Dragon City can be left.

Those who get angry and threaten to destroy each other are mostly those who are fierce in appearance and weak in heart.

Those who remained silent were the old Dragon City dignitaries who really spoke effectively.

The real heritage of Old Dragon City is never in the fists and magic weapons, but in the ledgers.

Suddenly, a steward reported that Fu Nanhua, the young city lord, had come to visit.

Fu Nanhua brought several followers with him, but he walked into the meeting hall alone. After sitting down, his buttocks were not warm from sitting, and he did not take a sip of tea. He just smiled and said a few words before standing up to leave.

Everyone in the hall began to weigh the pros and cons. The people sitting here were all experts in calculating gains and losses with an abacus.

Fu Nanhua said it succinctly. Not to mention the Yunlin Jiang family, the Tongye Sect has also formed an alliance with the Fu family. The six cross-continental ferries in Old Dragon City going to Daoxuan Mountain are controlled by four other than the Fu family. The whole family is gone. From now on, 30% of the annual profits of the three families here will be paid to the Fu family as "rent" for continuing to live in Old Dragon City. Of course, the Fu family will then use various forces to move northward, the secular dynasty, and the Yamashita Immortal Family. The Dongfu and Jianghu sects under the mountain will be included by the Fu family's forces, suppressing, squeezing out, and eradicating all business forces outside of Old Dragon City. During this period, how much real money and silver the three major families of Ding Fanghou can earn is the source of their wealth. Progress is better than before, but it is still sluggish. In order to pay the rent, it caused the operation to malfunction and was expelled from the old dragon city. It requires the sincere cooperation of everyone here and everyone has to rely on their own abilities. As for specific matters, if you feel that there is no problem with the general direction today, you can sit down and really talk about the details next time.

An old man smiled and said: "Wealth can be found in danger, so give it a try."

Someone laughed and said: "The Great Li Cavalry has almost reached the middle of Aquarius Continent. If we go north this time, if we succeed, I wonder if we can meet those northern barbarians?"

An old woman laughed at herself: "The Fu family is planning to take the dog out to bite people, but if the bite is good, he can bite off a few pieces of fat into his mouth. Compared to the petty fights now, maybe he can really do it." Make more money.”

One of the youngest young masters has an ordinary appearance but a good demeanor. Even if he is surrounded by a circle of old foxes who have become spirits, he will still not be underestimated. At this moment, he is holding the back of his head with both hands and looking up at the lamp above his head. Liuli Deng murmured: "In the final analysis, it is better to use force to suppress others."

————

In Chenchen Pharmacy, several doctors hired by the Fan family with huge sums of money, most of whom are medical disciples among Qi practitioners or Taoist health masters who are proficient in elixirs, have been coming in and out of the shop recently.

The Fan family ancestral hall has become a quarrel, and the suggestions of the family leader gradually turned into doubts. In the end, they simply felt sad. They said one by one that they were ashamed of the tablets in the Fan family ancestral hall, that their descendants were unfilial, and that they were ashamed of their ancestors. I can only watch helplessly as Fan takes a road to death, dares to use his arms as a chariot, and at this juncture has to protect Zheng Dafeng, who has become a waste. Fan Junmao and Fan Er's father, the contemporary head of the Fan family, are facing all kinds of criticism. , just drinking tea in silence.

Over here at the drug store.

Zheng Dafeng has woken up and can speak. In addition to the experts invited by the Fan family to heal his injuries and strengthen his body, the Yin Shen named Zhao also has some family wealth brought from the Lizhu Cave to help Zheng Dafeng repair the holes in his soul so that he will not be damaged. Let Zheng Dafeng collapse all of a sudden, and he can only become like a haggard tree day by day.

Zheng Dafeng did not seek death and life. Although he did not speak much, he looked somewhat relaxed. Occasionally when Pei Qian came to the room to sit for a while, he would smile and chat with the skinny girl. Every time Pei Qian came here, he would squat on the ground. Move a chair to put the books on, and then copy the books. When Zheng Dafeng came to Pei Qian's side, he was the most willing to talk. Although every time he opened his mouth to speak, he would be injured, but Pei Qian didn't appreciate it and was extra serious when copying. If Zheng Dafeng talked too much, he would If you complain that you are annoyed, if a word is copied crookedly, or a certain stroke is not correct enough, my father will ask me to rewrite it.

Zheng Dafeng would be happy, but just by smiling, he would break into a cold sweat. However, there was Pei Qian squatting and copying books in the room, and the man on the hospital bed was probably in a good mood.

Chen Ping'an would come here to sit and lie down from time to time. Since they were both seriously injured, the two of them didn't talk much.

That evening, after leaving the side room full of medicinal smell, Chen Ping'an walked to the yard. Zhu Lian was busy preparing a table of meals in the kitchen, and Pei Qian was practicing her unique skills in the yard.

A table was set up in the yard, and Lu Baixiang was playing chess opposite Sui Zuoyi. Wei Xian stood aside, still unable to understand Go, but patiently waiting for the outcome.

Before Zhu Lian and Sui Youyou died outside Old Dragon City, Chen Ping'an spent two more gold coins and smashed them into their natal scrolls.

After the two were killed in battle, according to the "rules of heaven" originally established by the old Taoist master of Donghai, the bottleneck of martial arts madman Zhu Lian's highest achievement in the future fell to the tenth level of martial arts.

And the right side of Sui Dynasty was even more miserable. He died twice in succession in the battle of destroying the temple. This time he exchanged his death with a Jindan realm. In the Eighth realm, future achievements can only be in the Eighth realm, which is also the next Golden Body realm. The distant travel realm on the map has stagnated. No matter Chen Pingan or the four people in the picture scroll, no matter how they felt about the old temple master who visited the Taoist temple, the five of them did not doubt that "the old man's Taoism reaches the sky."

Today, the Yin God of the Zhao family, who would always be billowing black smoke and filled with evil spirits every time he appeared, did not appear.

No one expected that this Nascent Soul Realm Yin God, who was supposed to be the winner of the chess game, sat in the medicine shop like a Jade Pu Realm monk, never expecting that nothing would happen to it from beginning to end. Chen Ping'an was seriously injured, Zheng Dafeng became a cripple, two of Zhu Sui's subordinates died in the battle, Lu Baixiang and Wei Xian were not idle either, they were all wandering around the gate of hell and back to the earth, but this Yin god seemed to accompany him Pei Qian chatted for a few words at the door of the shop. When time stopped, the medicine shop formation had not yet been opened, and it was also imprisoned. After the water of time continued to flow, the overall situation was decided.

Chen Pingan went to the door of the drug store in front and sat down.

In the yard, Pei Qian held his hiking pole with both hands and panted: "Old Wei, how is my swordsmanship going?"

Wei Xian didn't turn his head and continued to stare at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, which looked a bit like the jangle of teeth on the battlefield. He could only see this meaning and casually said to Pei Qian, "Strong."

Pei Qian was not satisfied and asked loudly: "How strong is it?!"

Wei Xian thought for a while, "Invincible."

Pei Qian was furious, "Old Wei, you think I'm a fool. Who would believe this?"

Wei Xian squinted at Pei Qian, "Do you believe it or not?"

Pei Qian's expression immediately turned gloomy, and he chuckled, "I have some faith."

Pei Qian's confidence soared. He picked up his hiking stick and pointed at Lu Baixiang's back, "Xiaobai, are you going to surrender and admit defeat without worrying or laboring, or are you going to sit still and fight me?"

Lu Baixiang, who had his back to Pei Qian, smiled and said, "Admit defeat."

Pei Qian asked again, "Sister Sui, do you want to have an honest battle with a brat who is only ten years old this year?"

Sui Youyou said calmly: "Then let's avoid fighting."

Pei Qian opened his voice, turned to the small kitchen and shouted: "Zhu Lian, who is an excellent cook and unparalleled in the world, is the only one left. Do you dare to come out and fight with me even if the food tonight is not so delicious?" ?”

Zhu Lian, who was wearing an apron and holding a spatula in his hand, replied loudly: "I don't dare!"

Pei Qian hummed, looked around, and hugged his hiking pole, "Sure enough, except for my father, I am already invincible. I am a little lonely. It seems that I don't need to practice sword today and tomorrow."

Chen Ping'an, who had returned to sit on the bench under the eaves at some point, smiled and said: "Persistence."

Pei Qian walked to sit next to Chen Ping'an and asked expectantly: "Master, am I your founding disciple?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "I have an anonymous disciple named Cui Dongshan. Now in Da Sui Mountain Cliff Academy, if you want to be a senior disciple, you may have to ask him if he agrees, but he doesn't like the title of 'senior brother'. You might not like it too much, so you still have hope.”

Pei Qian said indifferently: "Cui Dongshan? This name sounds like a small fish and shrimp with little potential. When the time comes, I will discuss with him and let him be my junior brother and call me senior sister. Master, don't worry , I will not bully him just because we are close, nor will I bribe him with money to hand over his identity as senior brother."

Chen Ping'an smiled strangely, "Okay, you can give it a try."

Zhao's Yin Shen stood on the bamboo curtain of the medicine shop, "Chen Ping'an, I have something to ask you."

Chen Pingan stood up, opened the curtain, and walked to the medicine shop in front of the yard.

Yin Shen took Chen Pingan out of the door and walked in the alley. He didn't know how to operate the formation, but he directly transformed himself into a Jade Pu realm cultivator sitting in a certain small world. The alley became dim, although Zhao surnamed Yin The god's face was blurry, but Chen Pingan could still clearly detect its cautiousness, and even some rare emotions of lingering fear. After cutting off the outside world for inspection, it hovered and stood still, and said to Chen Ping'an in a deep voice: "An old Confucian scholar who claimed to be related to Qi Jingchun found me, and to be precise, he detained me directly in his body. Before, I said it was your Mr. Chen Ping’an...anonymous..."

Having said this, Yin Shen wanted to laugh but didn't dare.

There are only anonymous disciples in the world, where are the anonymous gentlemen?

Respecting teachers and respecting morality is by no means a rule that can be trampled casually in the vast world. Once the thunder is crossed, you often have to pay a painful price that is far heavier than "notorious".

Chen Ping'an nodded, not being honest with Zhao Yinshen on this matter.

Yin Shen didn't want to get to the bottom of things, just like Chen Ping'an never asked which branch of the Zhao family he was an ancestor of since his surname was Zhao and he was born in Lizhu Dongtian.

Monks do not talk about fame and longevity, and gods in mountains and rivers do not talk about past lives. This is the principle.

It continued: "The old gentleman asked me to tell you that you can leave after celebrating the New Year in Old Dragon City. There are still some things that I have to deliver to you later. After the spring of next year, you can go wherever you want. Just do Chen Ping'an. Yes."

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Okay."

Then Chen Pingan hesitated for a moment and asked directly: "Senior Yang, did you really turn a blind eye to what happened to Zheng Dafeng?"

The Yin Shen surnamed Zhao was not willing to talk about anything about the old god, but it just thought of the man on the hospital bed in the shop. It made an exception this time and said softly: "The old god can see far away, so he will appear particularly unhuman. , But for Li Er and Zheng Dafeng, although they only have the status of master and apprentice and are not involved in preaching, I, a little yin god who lives in the world, dare to say a word and feel that they are still very different from us. "

Chen Ping'an hummed, "I think so too."

Yin Shen comforted him: "Although Zheng Dafeng has lost his martial arts skills, he is still in a good mood. We don't need to worry too much. If we pity him every day, Zheng Dafeng will be unbearable."

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "I know this well."

Yin Shen praised: "In fact, you have done the best in this matter..."

Chen Ping'an waved his hand quickly, "Why, does anyone who comes to Chenchen Pharmacy start to like flattering?"

Yin Shen laughed heartily, removed the formation restrictions, and disappeared in a flash.

Then Chen Pingan saw the green-robed woman at the corner of the street, Fan Junmao.

It’s not quite clear why she chose to help Lu Baixiang and Wei Xian at the last moment. Did she feel that Du Mao was no longer a threat, so she quickly put the icing on the cake? Showing favor to Dust Drug Store?

But this doesn't seem to be in line with her temperament in Chen Ping'an's heart.

Fan Junmao walked into the alley and threw a wine bottle to Chen Pingan, "In it is the old Jiao Jindan that I refined. You and Zheng Dafeng need this now. You must endure the pain and drink two or three sips every day. For The repair of a martial artist's body is more effective than any panacea. The demon elixir of the Twelve Realm Great Demon is too strong, and now you will die if you drink it. The ordinary Jindan Realm demon clan is not enough. This Nascent Soul Realm The medicinal wine soaked in Lao Jiao's golden elixir is just right."

Chen Pingan asked: "I will accept this pot of wine, but you are a businessman, what do you need me to pay?"

Fan Junmao shook his head and said: "Just think of it as our Fan family making up for the dusty drug store. You, Chen Ping'an, don't need to pay anything extra."

Chen Pingan said helplessly: "After listening to your explanation, I don't dare to accept such an expensive gift."

Fan Junmao sneered: "Then if I said that the Fan family helped you advance the fifty Grain Rain coins for the Qinghu Palace in Tianque Peak, wouldn't you be so scared that you would throw the jug back to me?"

Chen Pingan asked: "Why?"

Fan Junmao looked at the young man who was a little sick at the moment, "I poked a hole in the sword boat of Du Mao, the real name of the immortal soldier in the Ascension Realm. It's not surprising that you won't die. Someone will save you, but now you can jump and walk." As usual, it shows that your foundation in the Five Realms is really good. In this case, as the person behind the scenes of the Fan family, I have reason to bet on you, a big bet! Chen Ping'an, you now have a mouthful of pure truth in your body. The Qi is getting more and more sluggish, and the golden robe on your body is as tattered as a drafty hut. When that pure Qi becomes weaker and weaker, and the backflow of spiritual Qi becomes more and more serious, not only will your martial arts cultivation level need to be improved, If we fall again and again, even the Changsheng Bridge may collapse, do you want to give it a try?"

Chen Ping'an didn't rush to refuse or agree, and asked with a smile: "How can I give it a try?"

Fan Junmao pointed to the sea of ​​clouds above his head, "Aren't you going to refine the water of the five elements? You already have the formula, the alchemy cauldron, and enough heavenly materials and earthly treasures. You have gathered the people and people. I will help you." You get the right time and place, and once you refine the life object, you will have the first mansion in your body to contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Your pure energy will no longer have to be consumed in meaningless confrontations and wars of attrition. You will kill two birds with one stone. Chen Peace, what do you think?"

Chen Pingan suddenly said: "If you guessed correctly, you must know one of them, right?"

Fan Junmao did not deny it, but shook his head and said with a smile: "Human?"

Chen Pingan remained silent.

Fan Junmao's eyes were dark and deep, and his beautiful eyes were like two ancient bottomless wells. "You really, really, really don't deserve it!"

The woman in green robe sitting on the sea of ​​clouds said three "truths" in a row.

Chen Ping'an smiled and asked, "You have the final say?"

Fan Junmao, who was choked for words, was so angry that his teeth itched.

Chen Pingan stopped provoking this "young" woman with a bad temper, "Fan Er, are you okay?"

Fan Junmao couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this guy, "I'm stuck at home. I have nothing to do every day. I carry a small hoe and dig here and there, and I have accumulated more than a dozen bags of soil, saying that it is for emergencies. Er Niang is very distressed, and my mother has been jealous many times, and she doesn’t know how to persuade him not to lose his temper."

The corners of Chen Ping'an's mouth curled up.

No matter how rotten this old dragon city is, as long as Fan Er is here, Chen Pingan will be willing to come often whenever he has the opportunity.

Before Fan Junmao left, his face was rare and solemn, and he said: "Tongye Sect may be severely settled by Queen Qiu."

Chen Ping'an's eyes were cold, "If you sow melons, you will reap beans. If you are used to a comfortable life of being unreasonable, then remember to burn more incense and pray to God not to let you run into someone who can reason with them. Since If you encounter one, stand still and get beaten. If you are beaten to death, you will be reincarnated in the next life."

Fan Junmao looked at the sickly pale face.

It was like meeting Chen Pingan for the first time.

————

In Luzhou, Beiju, there is a Lion Peak where a Yuanying Earth Immortal sits.

The swordsmanship of Luzhou in Beiju is as good as clouds, and he is extremely martial in the mountains and mountains. If Yunhai passes his sword and glares, the two sides may fight in darkness. As for pretending to be another mountaintop, and hammering at the unpleasant mountaintop, After that, he ran away and suffered a terrible disaster. The plaque was smashed and the ancestral hall was in pieces. I didn't know what happened. Then, most of the people on the mountaintops were covered up, and some people felt aggrieved and went to the smaller hills farther away from their sect to vent their anger.

Beiju Luzhou is probably such a magical place where extreme cultivation power is practiced, headed by thousands of sword cultivators.

Otherwise, it would not have been clearly located in the northeast of Haoran Tianxia, ​​but it would have snatched away the word "north" from the Ai Ai Continent due in the north.

However, after the saint from Yufu Academy took action, he beat two Nascent Souls, one Yupu, and three great monks, and then told the sword cultivators not to bully others unreasonably. Only then did Fang's forces calm down a little.

Now, almost the entire mountain of Lion Peak, after witnessing Li Liu freely entering and exiting the forbidden area that is difficult for earthly immortals to enter, and bringing out a golden lion seal, has reached the fifth level in one step, they all have a profound understanding of that "Li Liu" As time went by, Li Liu's status in the minds of the monks on the mountain increased, and he was already second only to the old mountain master. Even this Da Yuanying monk, who has a relationship with the saint of Yufu Academy, interacts with Li Liu in private, and his attitude is lower than that of those entry-level Qi practitioners who meet Li Liu!

Probably only Li Liu's mother opened a shop in a small town at the foot of the mountain. She mistakenly thought that her daughter had been extremely lucky, so she paid for it to a low-ranking immortal master on the mountain. As a disciple, the woman still asked questions, fearing that some shameless old man coveted her daughter's appearance, so she asked Li Liu to practice some magical magic. Isn't this delaying her daughter's marriage? When her daughter gets older, there will be no son-in-law with a good family background, a lot of money, and a decent appearance who will come to the door on her own. Do you really want her to help Li Liu find a man in this small town?

Women don't like him very much. She regretted not being more cheeky and asking the kid from the aristocratic family who accompanied her all the way to have the surname Situ? She might as well stay for another year and a half. Maybe her daughter Li Liu won't have to mess around in the mountains anymore. She will marry directly into a wealthy family and she will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. When Li Huai grows up, she will If you come here, you might be able to find a job with his brother-in-law that is easy and profitable.

The woman has been in a bad mood for the past two years since she opened the shop. She has not made much money. She is worried all day long about her son being bullied in the academy. She is also worried about whether her daughter will look crooked and lose her beauty due to the strong wind on the mountain.

During this period, every time Li Liu went down or came back to the mountain, he would help his parents in the shop and stay for three or two days.

Up and down the Lion Peak, we have received strict orders from the old mountain master not to approach this shop in the small town without permission. Once discovered, they will be beaten to death on the spot.

Therefore, the woman still doesn't know whether her daughter Li Liu is really more divine than a deity in Lion Peak, rather than a charming little maid serving tea and water beside some deity.

In the past two days, Li Liu had just returned from a trip. He was rubbing his mother's shoulders in the shop, listening to the woman talking about the family's shortcomings and trivial neighborhood disputes.

Li Er squatted at the door and basked in the late winter sun. The more the woman looked at him, the more annoyed she became, what a coward!

Even if the men of other families are as thin as a gangster with a rat-like face, their mother-in-law still has their aunties scolding the heavens and the earth, crying and complaining that their men have stolen someone's vixen. Li Er is good, it really makes her feel relieved! As for Li Er really touching Huahua's intestines, I guess she must have chopped off Li Er's third leg with a kitchen knife first, and then went to find the slut to fight for her life. However, a woman would not dare to use a knife to outsiders. She lives here. If you are unfamiliar with the place, people will definitely gang up on you and bully you.

In this kind of nest, Li Huai follows her.

Li Er wiped his mouth, but he didn't feel that the peaceful life here was difficult. In fact, he had always been used to this kind of life, and he only liked it. But after all, the three members of the family are now in Luzhou, Beiju, and only his son Li Huai remains. I went to the Sui Academy in Aquarius Continent. The man was stupid and liked to keep things in his stomach, but how could there be a father in the world who didn’t worry about whether his son was hungry or cold?

After Li Liu had served his mother, he brought two small stools to the door, where the father and daughter sat on one side.

Cao Xi, the Posuzhou Sword Immortal who served as Li Liu's protector, stayed at Lion Peak for a long time. Every time he went down the mountain, he would escort Li Liu to various hidden secret places or the ruins of the Xian family's mansion that had lost its incense to pick up treasures. .

Just pick it up.

Cao Xi didn't need to take action at all, he only had to watch Li Liu return home with a full load again and again.

After escorting Li Liu back to Lion Peak this time, Cao Xi, a majestic swordsman, finally no longer had to wander around with this weird girl. He went down the mountain to wander alone, and now he is nowhere to be found.

Li Liu now has a golden lion seal hanging on his waist, and a dagger on his side.

It's just that Cao Xi used a blinding trick to hide them from the Nascent Soul Immortal.

Li Liu suddenly looked at Li Er, and their eyes met slightly. Li Er stood up and said he was going for a walk outside. Li Liu immediately returned to the house to chat with his mother.

The woman smiled and scolded: "Finally, I know how to move away. If I have the ability to seduce a girl back, I will accept her as my sister."

Li Er quickened his pace.

The woman rolled her eyes and complained to Li Liu: "I was really blind before I married your father. At that time, there were many handsome young men in the town who were thinking about your mother. I guess they were obsessed at that time and chose Kill your father."

Li Liu smiled softly, "Otherwise, where would my brother and I come from?"

The woman poked Li Liu's forehead with her finger and snorted coldly: "Li Huai has been sensible since he was a child. What about you? Look at you, a sister. You don't know how to feel sorry for your brother... You insist on learning some magic. You are so You're such a stupid girl, can you learn? Time flies in the mountains. Three to five years will pass by in a flash. By then, you will have transformed from a young girl into an old girl. Who will be willing to marry you? Not to mention the lack of betrothal gift. , and even caused your mother to take money from your brother’s daughter-in-law book and give it to you as a dowry. Do you think you are worthy of Li Huai..."

Ramble.

Moreover, the preference for boys over girls can be described as a complete mess.

Li Liu was not angry at all. Instead, he had moist eyes and smiled like a crescent moon. "When I practice immortal magic in the mountains, I will get some money every month. I will save it for Li Huai so that he can marry him in the future." , I won’t be looked down upon by others.”

When the woman heard this, she was surprised at first, and then she immediately became anxious. She stretched out her hand and said, "Didn't you tell me earlier?! Bring it quickly. If one day you meet a smooth-tongued libertine, all your money will be ruined by him. What about Li Huai?" Do it? I have to help you put it away!"

Li Liu took out a bag of silver, about twenty or thirty taels, "Actually, there are still some on the mountain."

The woman hurriedly hid it, and finally realized her conscience, "Just keep the rest by yourself. When dealing with immortal disciples of similar status in the mountains, it is inevitable that there will be some expenses in dealing with favors. Mother still knows this. You go. Tell them that they can get a discount when they come to our shop at the foot of the mountain."

Li Liu hummed obediently.

What she calls "some more".

Even a swordsman from Posuzhou who was used to seeing big scenes was excited.

The woman received a large sum of money from the sky and was in a good mood. She touched her daughter's tender little hand and said, "My mother and your father will be relieved if I marry a good family in the future. Remember, it's best to find someone who can Help your brother’s wealthy family.”

Li Liu said softly: "I understand."

When Li Er came back, his face was gloomy for the first time.

The woman was a little surprised, and then said angrily: "What the hell, which mother-in-law has been scolded by someone you've looked at? She's rebelled. She'll lose a few ounces of breast meat if she looks at her too many times. I'll scold her!"

Li Er shook his head, "Let's go into the yard behind and talk."

Just then, a wisp of incense appeared in front of Li Er.

He quickly climbed the mountain and found a secluded place at Lion Peak. After hearing the news, he immediately rushed back to the shop.

At the table in the main room, the woman became more and more uneasy, because it was rare to see Li Er like this, and it only happened once in his life. That time Li Er only bullied her in bed and did not dare to speak loudly to outsiders. I was a coward, so I went to the mountains to chop wood and burn charcoal. I didn't come out of the mountains until a long time later, but at least I made some money and came back.

Li Liu sat next to his mother. Seeing that his father was about to speak, he immediately asked "empathetically": "Did your hometown send a letter to this town?"

Li Er was not stupid. He nodded immediately and said dullly: "Master said something, and I just want to discuss something with you and your mother."

The woman swallowed, "Could it be that the old guy died and no one collected his body, so you, the apprentice, should rush back to take care of the funeral arrangements? This is a long way away, so we can't send some money back. Ask the people over at Yang's shop to help? The old guy is really not a thing. He wants to die. When we have just established a foothold here, we will go to see the Lord of Hell. If I can see his coffin, I have to scold this guy until he comes to life!"

Li Liu covered her mouth and smiled.

Li Er opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a long time. He shook his head and said, "Master, I'm fine, but... something happened to Zheng Dafeng."

The woman blinked, "What can happen to that shameless thing, a thieves and thieves? Why, didn't you say you went to the south? Why, cut a few Shuiling girls over there and steal a few women's personal belongings?" Are you going to beat someone to death for clothes?"

Li Er stared at the table and said calmly: "He's not dead. He was crippled and his whole back was broken. He is still lying in bed. Even if he recovers from the illness in the future, he will still be a man who cannot straighten his back. Moreover. Junior Brother didn't cause trouble this time, it was someone else who provoked him. I asked Master whether he was in charge, and Master said it was not Dafeng's father or mother who taught me how to do it, so he didn't die outside, so what else did he want."

Li Liu narrowed her beautiful eyes like willow leaves.

The woman was stunned for a long time and could not utter a word.

Zheng Dafeng, this bastard, liked to talk a lot. Although she always scolded him for being a bachelor for the rest of his life, her man's younger brother... was actually not a bad person.

Li Er raised his head and looked at his wife, "I want to see my junior brother, but I'm afraid... you won't."

The woman's eyes were red and she yelled: "If you don't go now, will you, Li Er, still be a human being?"

Li Er grinned.

The woman asked cautiously: "After you go, can you come back without missing an arm or a leg?"

Li Er nodded, "If you can't fight, just run away. It's not a big deal."

The woman immediately became worried, "What? Are you still going to fight with someone?!"

Li Er drooped his head, unwilling to lie to his wife.

Li Liu quickly comforted her and said, "Mom, it's okay. The place where Zheng Dafeng lives is different from our hometown. As long as you spend money to go to the Yamen to file a lawsuit, you can get justice. It just costs a little more money, right, dad?"

Li Er nodded quickly.

After all, she is her own daughter, so considerate.

The woman wiped her tears, put the bag of silver she had just received on the table, then went to the house to rummage through the cabinets, and took out another large bag. Except for her son Li Huai's daughter-in-law, she could not touch it for the life of her. It was almost their family property. After handing it to Li Er, he said: "Save some flowers on the way and leave more for the lawsuit."

Li Er took the money and strode out of the shop. He only said to Li Liu, "take more care of your mother."

The woman sat blankly in the yard. After a long time, she sighed, "Dafeng is also a poor man. How can he find a wife in the future?"

Li Liu stretched out two fingers and gently rubbed the hilt of the short sword at his waist.

Li Er went straight to the top of Lion Peak, found the old Yuanying who was famous for his fighting skills, and asked for a small ferry from the mountain gate, first to a large ferry, and then to Aquarius Island.

The tall old man didn't dare to ask any more questions. Firstly, this dull man was the biological father of his "ancestor Li Liu", and secondly, this man was a ten-level martial artist! With the current distance between the two of them, it would probably only take one punch to seriously injure him, the Immortal of the Nascent Soul.

Moreover, the owner of Lion Peak has always felt that people like "Li Er" are the most terrifying.

He is too talkative and easy-going, and he is even less temperamental than the timidest country boy.

So when Li Er is unwilling to talk properly, at least his own Lion Peak will definitely not be able to withstand others' attacks.

The old man smiled and said: "I'll take you down the mountain to the ferry. I can't help you much, but it can save you a little trouble."

Li Er did not refuse, he thanked him, and then took the ferry, which was personally controlled by the owner of Lion Peak, and headed south quickly.

Li Er actually sat on the railing at the bow of the ferry.

Previously in a secluded place, after three sticks of incense rose up, the old man could clearly be seen sitting in the yard behind Yang's shop.

Li Er finally asked the old man if he could go to Tongye Sect.

The old man said "Follow you" and waved his hand to disperse the incense smoke.

Follow me Li Er.

That would be easy.

After he broke through the bottleneck of the nine realms and entered the tenth realm, he realized that there was a new world. The most important thing was that he knew how to take this road next and how to go faster. Before reaching the end of the last dead end, he Li Second, you can go all the way smoothly.

I heard that the man named Du Mao paid a high price in Old Dragon City. He lost his natal immortal weapon and Yang Shen body. Now he is at most the cultivation level of the immortal realm for the first time? But the old man said that the Tongye Sect's mountain-protecting formation was not very good.

Then he, Old Thief Du, had better go to the Ancestral Hall to burn more incense during this period, otherwise he may not have this opportunity again in the future.

Probably because Chen Ping'an, Pei Qian, and Zheng Dafeng, who can already sit on the hospital bed, are all people who are used to living a hard life.

Therefore, there is no depressed atmosphere in Chenchen Pharmacy these days. On the contrary, as Zheng Dafeng begins to regain his playful and smiling personality, the yard behind is quite lively.

Fan Er was also brought by his eldest sister Fan Junmao to the shop and met his preacher Mr. Zheng in the house. He couldn't hold back his tears when he went in, but he couldn't hold it back when he saw Zheng Dafeng. He just didn't know that the master The two disciples muttered something, and when they came out, Fan Er had a smile on his face.

Fan Junmao asked Chen Pingan if he had thought about refining the natal object above the sea of ​​clouds. Chen Pingan said he would think about it again.

Fan Er said he wanted to spar with Chen Pingan, so he just gave in to Chen Pingan. As a result, Fan Junmao beat him to the ground with a chestnut. Pei Qian felt sad when he saw it, so he volunteered to join the self-proclaimed "Four Realms Great Master". "Grand Master" Fan Er came to compete. As a result, Fan Er was beaten by Pei Qian holding a hiking stick. Fan Er ran and shouted, "Pei Qian, you are so young, why do you have such peerless martial arts? Are you a legend?" Geniuses never come out of the world, please allow me, Fan Er, to go back and practice hard for three days, and then I will learn your magic sword skills!"

Pei Qian was sweating profusely from running. He felt that he really showed his style in this fight. He even received a hit from the hiking pole on his forehead. His swordsmanship was too high and he couldn't hold back.

When Fan Er was caught by Fan Junmao and left the drug store, Pei Qian turned to look at Wei Xian and asked: "Old Wei, am I really that powerful? I know that Fan Er's flattery is very good..."

Wei Xian sat on a small bench and basked in the warm winter sun, "There's not much moisture."

Pei Qian wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Mom, I am really a genius. I will still have some doubts in the future. Okay, Old Wei, after I finish copying the book tonight, I will create another set of boxing techniques and teach it to you tomorrow. , you don’t need to thank me in any way, just ten bunches of candied haws.”

Wei Xian shook his head and said, "I don't want to learn your boxing skills."

Pei Qian ran over with a glare and said angrily: "Why do you look down on people? Or are you still reluctant to part with the little money from the candied haws?"

Wei Xian said, "What's the money?"

Pei Qian didn't care whether Wei Xian looked down on her boxing skills. He stomped his feet and said angrily: "Why don't I even have the money to buy candied haws?"

She suddenly knelt down and whispered: "Old Wei, don't you still have a fancy dragon robe? Let's sell it for money? If you are tired then, I will help you carry it. We are friends. Will I help you?"

Wei Xian asked, "Why don't you sell your talisman?"

She twisted and took out the yellow paper talisman, put it on her forehead, nodded, and said for the first time: "That's right, I can't let it go. I guess you won't let it go either, so I won't force you."

Wei Xian turned his head and glanced at the little girl, "Is the sun coming out in the west?"

Pei Qian turned his head and whispered in Wei Xian's ear: "Let me tell you, I am actually a princess who lives among the people. When I was a child, I used gold poles at home to eat steamed buns and throw them away."

Wei Xian nodded, "Like me."

In addition to laying the floor in the front shop every day, Chen Pingan also used the original counter as a desk.

During this period of time, I have been reading and pondering over and over the alchemy secret book presented by Lu Yong of Qinghu Palace.

Because the dust medicine shop has now become a tacitly forbidden place in Old Dragon City, and the Zhao family's Yin Shen is stationed in the alley, Chen Ping'an placed one of the smallest dragon-slaying tables on the table, as well as the golden jade tablet. The seal is engraved with "I am good at cultivating Haoran Qi". The fairy sister did not elaborate on its origin. She only said that it was an old man who had clear rewards and punishments. The serious one made a guy shut up and think about his mistakes. The light one took off this sign.

Chen Ping'an has been throwing a gold copper coin into the golden robe almost every day these days, and today is the fourth one.

This is a matter of paramount importance that concerns life, and Chen Ping'an cannot tolerate feeling the least bit distressed.

Moreover, one bottle of Zuowang Dan and two bottles of Fire Dragon Pill and Buyudan were given to Zheng Dafeng and the four picture scrolls, except for Chen Pingan who took one Zuowang Pill himself. After the distribution, there was not one left. .

At this moment, Chen Pingan remembered something, stood up and went to the back yard. He took Pei Qian to the side room and found Sui Youyou who was practicing sword furnace staking. The latter was a little strange. Chen Pingan asked if he could help Pei Qian open his tendons first. Pull out the bones.

Pei Qian smiled from ear to ear.

I finally officially became the founding disciple of Master Chen Pingan!

Sui nodded on his right side.

As a result, just a few steps out of the house, Chen Pingan heard Pei Qian's loud cries, and then the little girl ran out of the house quickly, saying that she never wanted to practice martial arts again.

Sui Zuo stood at the door and said helplessly: "She can't bear the pain at all. I'm very particular about strength."

Chen Pingan stretched out a palm to cover his face.

Too embarrassed to see anyone.

Pei Qian was still holding him tightly, sobbing, sweating profusely, and his black face was full of horror and fear.

Before it was evening, Pei Qian went to the counter and found Chen Pingan, saying that she had copied a thousand words today. Although she actually copied so many words, the little girl felt very guilty.

Chen Ping'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "If you don't practice martial arts, you won't practice martial arts. What's the point? If you study harder in the future, you can still be successful."

Pei Qian skipped away and went to talk to Old Wei.

Chen Ping'an smiled and continued to read the elixir secret book that was worth a lot of money.

There was no reason to think of Pei Qian standing at the corner of the street that day.

Just like when I went up the mountain to collect herbs when I was a child, there was a sudden heavy rain and the stream flooded, blocking the shortest way down the mountain. In order to rush home to take care of my mother, was it different that I gritted my teeth and tried to jump over it?

So Chen Ping'an was a little soft-hearted.

Even though even the Sword Spirit said that Pei Qian was "one of the few martial arts embryos in the world," Chen Pingan didn't think it was a pity that Pei Qian stopped practicing martial arts.

There is nothing wrong with children doing whatever they want, no matter how old they are.

Isn't it possible that when he, Chen Ping'an, was squatting alone in a far place when he was a child, watching his peers placing paper kites at the immortal tomb, eating snacks, and wearing brand-new clothes, didn't he envy him?

Of course I envy you.

Could it be that he, Chen Ping'an, was so weak back then that he could only pawn the remaining belongings of his parents in exchange for rice? Didn't he cry?

He would also secretly hide under the covers and cry uncomfortably.

These hardships are not necessarily all bad things. If you get over them, they will be another kind of good thing.

But Chen Ping'an still hopes that the people around him who care about him can have a smoother life, at least they won't have to face these problems too young and too early.

It's just that in life, it's the hardest thing to get what you want. When you see something good, the money in your pocket won't accept it.

If you want to be safe, God may not nod.

Chen Pingan lay on the counter, feeling a little sleepy, and fell asleep.

————

Tongye Sect, except for a handful of high-ranking monks in the upper five realms, did not notice anything strange. They still felt that their sect was the well-deserved leader of Tongye Continent, that is, Yugui Sect plus Fuji Sect and Taiping. Mountain, three mountains together can barely compete with their Tongye Sect.

Although for hundreds of years, the Tongye Sect has not allowed its disciples to declare to the outside world that the Zhongxing ancestor, who is rare in a century, is in the Ascension Realm. He can only be said to be in the Immortal Realm, and he only has the hope of reaching the Thirteenth Realm. But who doesn't know that this is called "Three Hundred Liangs of Silver"? The reason why those Yizhou Qi practitioners outside never mention this is simply because they are worried about making Tongye Sect unhappy, but in fact they are like Ming Jing'er in their hearts.

In addition to the founder of the Zhongxing Sect, who has the power to suppress a continent, the Tongye Sect also has several Yupu realms who are equally famous. For example, the ancestor who is in charge of the sect's genealogy and precepts has just returned from successfully killing the twelve realm demons. .

The current leader of the Tongye Sect is also in the Jade Pu realm, and he is also a swordsman!

The sect leader also taught an amazingly talented direct disciple, a Nascent Soul sword cultivator who was only three hundred years old.

With such a strong foundation, the southernmost Jade Gui Sect dares to compete with the Tongye Sect for the title of first place?

Tongye Sect covers an area of ​​more than 1,200 miles. If you don't know how to control the wind or sword, it will be difficult to visit the door.

Own a small tung leaf cave.

Only upper five realm monks and Nascent Soul Immortals are qualified to enter and practice.

Then one day, the inherent dignity, self-confidence, and sect honor of all Tongye Sect disciples began to change, and many of their well-established ideas became less confident.

For example, one night, almost all the monks in the middle and fifth realms felt a majestic and oppressive aura, heading towards the northern border of Tongye Sect from north to south!

The person has not shown up yet, but the sword energy has arrived.

A sword struck directly at the green barrier glowing from the "Wutong Sky Umbrella", the sect's mountain-protecting formation.

It collapsed on the spot.

Although in an instant, the spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers gathered with the consumption of countless snow dollars, propped up the second parasol umbrella that covered the sky and the earth.

Still cut through with one sword.

It has been holding up the sixth parasol umbrella which is getting smaller and smaller.

The unknown swordsman stopped his sword and hovered in the air three hundred miles away from the ancestral mountain of Tongye Sect.

He said calmly: "Du Mao, come out, otherwise I will not guarantee that the seventh sword will not hurt innocent people."

At this moment, even the outer disciples of the Tongye Sect in the Lower Five Realms, as well as the family members and servants scattered around the outside, and those to the south, all looked up at the dazzling light spot.

Those close to the north, as long as they were Qi Practitioners under the Golden Pill Earth Immortal, even if they looked at the sword cultivator for a second, they would feel wisps of sword Qi pouring into their eyes, and they quickly lowered their heads.

At this moment, with the ancestral mountain as the center and the spiritual energy of Tongye Cave as the source, the latest barrier of heaven and earth appeared in front of the sword cultivator. This umbrella loomed like the core of the mountain-protecting formation, only blocking the He lived in the mountains and rivers within a radius of three hundred miles from the top of his ancestral mountain.

Just enough to keep that sword cultivator away.

In fact, it was no longer outside the door. They just rushed into the home and failed to rush into the lobby.

The leader of the Tongyezhou Sect hung a jade medal from the Ancestral Master Hall on his waist, which allowed him to pass through the formation barrier. He was wearing a purple robe, holding his sword and hovering in front of the sword cultivator, and asked with a smile: "But who is the sword immortal?"

"Du Mao?"

The sword cultivator glanced at the purple-robed sword cultivator, shook his head and said, "It doesn't look like that."

So he drew his sword.

Two upper five realm swordsmen.

Like two rainbows piercing the night sky.

There was no protracted battle that the Tongye Sect disciples expected.

Known as the most "money-eating" sword cultivator in the world, Sword Cultivator is more capable of making decisions about life and death than other Qi practitioners.

Secondly, there is a huge disparity in strength.

In the end, the leader of Tongye Sect was quickly slashed into the barrier with a sword, and his whole body hit a mountain with thin spiritual energy, and the top of the mountain was directly blown to pieces.

The sword cultivator slashed his sword straight from top to bottom, instantly cutting a large hole in the barrier, and walked in slowly, like an uninvited guest who wanted to break in without showing any courtesy.

The overwhelming curses and colorful fairy magic weapons all hit this person.

This sword cultivator no longer restrained his own sword energy that had been stored for hundreds of years and could not be seen in this world, and instantly released it, flowing down into the world like a Milky Way waterfall.

There is simply no magic weapon that can come within a hundred feet.

The sword cultivator faced the ancestral mountain with a calm expression, as if he was asking someone for advice, and said seriously: "My husband has spoken, asking me to fuck your mother. It is a bit difficult for me to study. This is not difficult. So the question Here you go, Du Mao, is your mother still alive or not, and how does she look like?"

Heaven and earth are silent.

Especially quiet.
