Sword of Coming

Arriving at Qingxia Island, Chen Ping'an went to the sword room to get the reply letter sent by Wei Bo from Piyun Mountain. The flying sword disappeared in a flash and returned to Longquan County of Dali.

Separating from Gu Can, Chen Pingan went to the room at the gate of the mountain alone, opened the secret message, and replied to Chen Pingan's questions. As expected of Wei Bo, he asked one question and answered three, and asked the other two Chen Pingan to the gentleman Zhong Kui and the old man. Dragon City Fan Junmao's questions were all answered in more than ten thousand words, including the rules of the separation of yin and yang, the opportunities and reasons for people to become ghosts after death, and the many reincarnations in the two forbidden places of Fengdu and Hell. Chen Pingan was explained in detail about the red tape, the deviation of the entrance to Huangquan Road due to local customs, the difference between ghosts, etc.

Finally, at the end of the secret letter, Wei Bo attached two secret techniques written by himself. One secret technique is a left-right magic technique collected by the royal family of Shenshui Kingdom where Wei Bo used to use it to quickly find the essence of water transportation between heaven and earth. A little light of the true spirit can condense the scattered souls of the dead and reshape the soul. After this method is completed, it can especially command all ghosts near the water. Therefore, it is an untold secret of the Shenshui Kingdom. Only the national master and the enshrined immortal master can study it. .

Another secret technique is a side sect that Wei Bo accidentally obtained from the Shenshui Kingdom's arsenal. The technique is only close to witchcraft, but it is mixed with some of the imperial sword methods of the ancient Shu sword immortals to break through the yin and yang. The barrier is used as a bridge and path in the area where the sword light reaches, connecting the Yang world and the Yin world, and talking to the deceased ancestors. However, it needs to find a living person with a strong constitution of Yin energy as a habitat for the Yin things returning to the Yang world. This The person who was called "Xingting" by Wei Bo in the secret letter must be a person with profound ancestral virtues or a spiritual genius who is naturally suitable for practicing ghost magic. In order to bear it, the latter is better, after all, the former has It harmed the ancestor's moral character, but the latter was able to improve his cultivation with this diligence and turn misfortunes into blessings.

Chen Pingan read this secret letter from Piyun Mountain repeatedly.

The accountant didn't know that Qingxia Island couldn't stop the fire after the two battles between Yunyu Island and Yunlou City. Nowadays, in Shujian Lake, there are crazy rumors that Qingxia Island has an extra man with amazing combat power. Not only does he have two talisman god puppets that can easily kill the Seven Realm sword cultivators, but he also carries two natal flying swords. The most terrifying thing is that this person is also proficient in close combat and has once punched him face to face. Killed a six-level military monk.

Fu Lu Immortal Master, Earth Immortal Sword Cultivator, Martial Arts Grandmaster?

What is the origin of this accountant who works as a gatekeeper for Qingxia Island?

For a time, Liu Zhimao's momentum surged on Gongliu Island, and many wallflowers began to fall to Qingxia Island with the wind.

At the dinner table in Chun Ting Mansion that day, the woman said to Gu Can, who rarely went home for dinner recently, "Can Can, don't be like Chen Pingan."

Gu Can was devouring the food and said vaguely: "If you don't want to learn, of course you won't learn."

The woman smiled happily, picked up the silk scarf and wiped the oil stains on the corner of her son's mouth, and whispered: "My mother liked Chen Ping'an, a good man, but in our Shujian Lake, good people don't live long, and the harm lasts for thousands of years. It's really not right." What unpleasant words? Although my mother has never left the Spring Court House to take a look outside, she still chats with the maids and maids every day. She knows the difference between Shujian Lake and Mud Ping Lane better than Chen Pingan. Here, we have no control over it. Not hard-hearted.”

Gu Can nodded and said: "Mom, don't worry, I know it in my heart. There is only one Chen Ping'an in the world. I can't imitate him. I can't imitate him."

Finally, Gu Can raised his head and said, "Besides, there is only one Gu Can in the world!"

The woman suddenly asked: "Before, my mother only knew that Chen Ping'an had a big future, but what happened? Chen Ping'an didn't tell me, and it was hard for my mother to ask more questions. Now I hear the young girls in the house chatting in private, and it seems like Is it more than enough for Chen Pingan to occupy a large island in Shujian Lake? I heard that that night, even Lu Caisang was almost killed by Chen Pingan with a sword? "

Gu Can thought for a moment, "I'm not sure. I only know that the semi-immortal weapon is called Jianxian. From what Liu Zhimao said, it seems that Chen Ping'an can't fully control it for the time being. Otherwise, all the golden elixir earth immortals in Shujian Lake, They are not Chen Pingan's three-in-one enemy. Under the Earth Immortal, it must be a matter of sword. But compared to this sword that has not been fully refined, Liu Zhimao is obviously more afraid of the Zhang Xian family talisman. He asked me if I knew I know the root of this talisman, but I just say that I don't know. It is probably one of Chen Pingan's secret skills. In fact, I arranged for the little loach to follow Chen Pingan at that time to avoid accidents and damage to Chen Pingan by something with no eyesight. The feeling of traveling to Shujian Lake, so Xiao Niluo has personally seen the magical powers of the two heavenly soldiers and generals. Xiao Niluo said that they seem to be different from the immortal talismans of all the Taoist priests of the Fulu Sect. What is contained in the talismans is not a little aura. Rather, it is like the golden body of a mountain and water god."

The woman sighed with emotion: "It turns out that Chen Pingan is already so promising."

Gu Can looked bad, his face was greasy now, he tilted his head and smiled: "No, as long as Chen Pingan wants to accomplish anything, he can do it. It has always been like this, what's so strange about that. "

The woman looked at her innocent-looking son and felt a little helpless. There were some things that she had to be a mother to think about. This had nothing to do with her ability as a woman.

When Gu Can took the little loach to Gongliu Island to join in the fun, the woman came to a hall in the backyard of the Chunting Mansion and called together dozens of young girls in the house. After a lecture, no one was allowed to gossip in front of Chen Pingan. Once discovered, they would be killed with a cane, and she would order someone to dig out the secret file of the incense room exclusive to the Spring Court House. If any relatives were already practicing in Qingxia Island, , and immediately asked Mr. Tianhu to personally interrupt the Changsheng Bridge. If the portals were not in Shujian Lake, but had received gifts from the Spring Court House and became wealthy, their homes would be confiscated and handed over to Fan, the lord of Chishui City.

In the dusk of this day, Chen Ping'an knocked on the door of an ordinary mansion on Qingxia Island. It was a place where a second-class monk worshiped Taoism. His real name was no longer known. His surname was Ma. He was a ghost cultivator. It was said that he was once a ruined man. The royal meal-bearer of the country was one of the handymen in the "Beijing Pavilion" when the emperor was on tour. Somehow he became a Taoist and gradually became a veteran worshiper of Qingxia Island.

Ghost cultivators are extremely unpopular among Shanzeye cultivators, who are already looked down upon by the Immortal Genealogy Master. Therefore, this mansion is located in a remote and secluded area of ​​Qingxia Island. It is not full of spiritual energy but full of Yin energy. He occupies a strange well that is blown by the dark wind every once in a while. The surroundings of the mansion are always filled with gloomy air, and there is no contact between the surrounding neighbors. This ghost cultivator was originally the last person in the first-class enshrinement of Qingxia Island. Qingxia Island annexed more than a dozen large vassal islands. Some big island owners and enshrined guests cherished their lives and chose to rely on Zhenjun Jiejiang, who was at the height of his power. They came and went again and again. Over time, the seats of the original power of Qingxia Island continued to move back, further and further back. , Fortunately, Liu Zhimao did not deduct the salary of the meritorious veterans, but increased it by 10% or 20%, so that he did not "chill the hearts of all the soldiers."

The concierge was an old woman who was skinny and smelly, but she had black hair on her head and white eyes. When she saw the accountant named Chen, the old woman immediately smiled flatteringly. There were mosquitoes, flies and maggots between the folds of her withered face. Tiny living things like this rustled down, and the old woman was still a little shy, so she hurriedly twisted the toe of her embroidered shoe on the ground, and the result was a crackling and popping sound. This was not oozing, but disgusting.

The old woman also noticed this, and her face turned red with embarrassment. Her lips moved slightly, but she couldn't say a word.

Chen Ping'an looked calm and recognized that the "old woman" with thin yang energy and late spirituality in front of him was actually just a woman in her early twenties.

Women in the world all love beauty.

She shook a bunch of bells next to the door and said to Chen Ping'an: "My master will be here soon. Please wait a moment, Mr. Chen."

She hesitated for a moment and pointed to a dark room next to the gate of the mansion, "The slave is not an eyesore here. As long as Mr. Chen suddenly thinks of something, he can say hello and the slave will be over there in the side room and will appear immediately." "

Chen Ping'an nodded and asked: "May I ask how you should call the little madam? I may have to visit the house frequently in the future, and it's not easy to feed him every time."

The hateful-looking old woman was stunned for a moment, not daring to look directly at the young man in front of her with her current face. She turned her head and said in a low voice: "Mr. Chen, you can call me slave, Hongsu, Crispy Sugar."

A line of black smoke rolled in. After it stopped, a short man appeared. There was still black smoke coming out of the hem of his robe and two big sleeves. The man looked dull and frowned at the old woman's concierge: "You are ungrateful. You despicable thing has the nerve to stand here and chat with Mr. Chen! If you don’t hurry back to the house, you won’t be afraid of dirtying Mr. Chen’s eyes!”

She quickly went to hide in a side room and stood near the small window. She didn't even have the courage to take a look. She just hoped to hear the voices of the two parties talking.

As Qingxia Island prospered, the owner was reduced from a first-class worshiper to a second-rate marginal worshiper. In addition, Qingxia Island continued to open up new mansions, and eleven major surrounding islands were included in the jurisdiction of Qingxia Island. Over the past year, Come here, it is rare for guests to visit the mansion. The acquaintances and monks have gone elsewhere early to play music every night. The stranger monks are not willing to come here to light the cold stove. She guards the door of the mansion day and night. It is strictly forbidden for servants to speak inside and outside the mansion, so on weekdays inside , even the chirping sound of a bird flying unintentionally near the door of the house can make her remember it for a long time.

After entering the mansion, Chen Ping'an and Gui Xiu explained their intention.

The ghost cultivator surnamed Ma was silent, feeling slightly displeased in his heart. This accountant, who was now famous in Shujian Lake, was a little too much. He actually came to visit him to ask for the remaining souls that he had "picked up" and detained. These demons and monsters that he had imprisoned in the soul-calling flag and the well were already one of his avenues, and there were dozens of them. The ghosts in front of him who had the cultivation level of the middle and fifth realms were refined by him into ghost generals. Now they all perform their own duties and are indispensable.

Even if young people say they are willing to buy with fairy money, is this a matter of money or not?

You guy named Chen, do you really not understand the rules of the road, or are you planning to bully others from the beginning? Don't you have the ability to slap the little devil Gu Can twice? Then ask Gu Can how much fairy money can buy the life of the woman in the Spring Court House? Will Gu Can agree to it?

Even though the more he pondered in his mind, the more annoyed he became, the ghost cultivator surnamed Ma still did not dare to show his face. This godly accounting clerk in front of him really wanted to stab himself to death with a sword. That was all. Is Zhenjiang Zhenjun willing? For a second-rate worshiper who has lost his life, do you want justice with your young apprentice Gu Can and the young "Sword Immortal" in front of you? However, ghost cultivators are also stubborn, so they replied, saying that it was true that he was a ghost cultivator who controlled the souls, but the one who really benefited the most was not him, but Yuegou Island, one of the vassal islands. Yu Hui, the self-proclaimed Ghost King of Mountains and Lakes, was the number one general under the master of Yuegou Island in the past. Not only did he take the lead in rebelling against Yuegou Island, but he also followed Zhenjun Jiejiang and Master and Disciple Gu Can to fight against him every time there was a war. At the end of the war, he must be responsible for cleaning up the mess. Now that Tian Hujun occupies Meixian Island and many other large islands including Sulin Island, the souls of those who died in the battle are all given to him and another person who is currently in charge of Yuhu. The island's Yin and Yang family had all been divided among the immortal monks. He didn't even have a chance to get involved, so he had to spend money to buy some ghosts with strong Yin energy and strong bones from the two top worshipers of Qingxia Island.

There is no such thing as a deal that can't be negotiated after sitting down. In the final analysis, it still depends on whether the person paying the money is sincere enough and whether he is ruthless in taking the money.

The ghost cultivator finally put down his words. Since the price given by Mr. Chen was fair according to the level of the ghost souls' previous realms, after all, it was an important matter involving his own ghost cultivator's path, and it was not a matter of face or not. Unless Mr. Chen can accomplish something, he will be willing to nod. After that, he will have to slowly pick out the soul-calling flags and ghosts in the Yinfengjing before he can start doing business.

After Chen Pingan learned about it, he nodded and agreed.

After leaving the mansion and passing through the gate, Chen Pingan said goodbye to the "old woman" named Hongsu, the concierge.

Chen Ping'an returned to the mountain gate of Qingxia Island. Instead of returning to the house, he went to the ferry and punted to the Zhuchai Island.

I met the island owner Liu Chongrun again, a tall and plump beautiful woman.

It turns out that Ma's surname is Guixiu, and she came from the same country as this woman, but their identities are completely different. One is the biological aunt of the last little emperor, with all the power in the country, except for the woman who did not sit on the throne herself, while the other is a miscellaneous person in the palace. As for how the two parties met and what happened, Chen Pingan did not ask in detail. Anyway, the reason why the ghost cultivator took refuge with Liu Zhimao and chose Qingxia Island as the place to open his mansion was to be able to Approach Liu Chongrun, the owner of Zhuchai Island.

Liu Chongrun, who was praised by Tian Hujun as "manly", originally planned to make up for his mistakes today. Because he didn't know the cultivation level of the accountant in front of him last time, he refused Chen Ping'an's visit to the island out of caution. As a result, Yunyu Island and Yunlou City After the results of the fighting between the two places came out, Liu Chongrun felt a little regretful. With this person's unpredictable cultivation, it would not be difficult for him to kill and injure most of Zhuchai Island by himself, so he quickly sent someone to Qingxia Island. She wrote an invitation letter and took the initiative to invite Mr. Chen to visit Baozhu Pavilion on Zhuchai Island, which was a way to make up for the situation and prevent Liu Chongrun and Zhuchai Island from leaving a grudge in the mind of the accountant.

But when Liu Chongrun heard that Guixiu Ma from Qingxia Island wanted to see her, she immediately turned against her, left Chen Ping'an aside, turned to climb the mountain, and said coldly: "If Mr. Chen wants to visit Zhuchai Island, I, Liu Chongrun, I will definitely accompany you all the way, and if you serve as a lobbyist for that evil bastard, please ask Mr. Chen to go home immediately."

Chen Ping'an had no choice but to punt and leave to find Yu Hui, whose Taoist name was the Ghost King of Mountain Lake. He was one of the few great ghost cultivators in Shujian Lake, and his golden elixir cultivation was not comparable to that of a ghost cultivator named Ma in the Longmen realm.

Now he occupies the entire Yuegou Island and has the same status as Mr. Tian Hu. They are both feudal officials under Liu Zhimao. Compared with the ghost cultivator named Ma, whose reputation is not prominent and has gradually fallen into silence, Yu Hui has a notorious reputation and is becoming more and more notorious. Famous as Shujian Lake, Yuegou Island is a large island with considerable strength. The owner of Old Jindan Island is also known to be a tough nut to crack. As a result, it was because of Yu Hui's rebellion that the landscape formation of Yuegou Island was destroyed. Let Liu Zhimao and Gu Can's little loach take advantage of the situation and catch more than a thousand monks on Yuegou Island by surprise, causing heavy casualties. However, Yu Hui, who is extremely talented, became rich overnight and gathered a large number of souls of the middle and fifth realm monks to create his own unique cultivator. The secret techniques are refined one by one, and it is rumored that the next Yuanying of Shujian Lake is very likely to be the next one, and he will occupy the wife, concubine, and daughter of the old island owner of Yuegou Island. In the past year, he was as happy as a god. Even Liu Zhimao was on Qingxia Island. At the celebration banquet, they made some jokes, joking that Yu Hui was the most blessed person in Shujian Lake.

Gu Can even gave this person a thumbs up at the celebration banquet, which made Yu Hui feel embarrassed and quickly stood up and gave Gu Can three glasses of wine in return.

You need to know that the arrogant little devil Gu Can almost never has a good look on any of the worshippers.

When the ferry docked, Chen Ping'an twisted out the True Body Talisman of the Day and Night Wandering God, and summoned two puppet true gods with a little divine light in the talismans.

Just climb the mountain.

His acting style is very bookish.

He is no longer the accountant who was kind to everyone on Qingxia Island.

Yu Hui, who was so frightened that he originally wanted to be a little more assertive, immediately went out to greet the distinguished guests in person.

After learning that Mr. Chen, who seemed to be going on a killing spree on Yuegou Island, was only here to buy those insignificant ghost souls, Yu Hui was relieved. At the same time, he also talked about his many difficulties with the accountant in a roundabout way, For example, how deeply enmity I had with the old island owner of Yuegou Island who suffered a thousand blows, and how I endured the humiliation and burden, and finally had a happy relationship with the concubine that the old pervert bullied.

Chen Pingan quietly listened to the grievances of the mountain and lake ghost king for a while. When Yu Hui felt that he had nothing to say, Chen Pingan began to trade ghosts with him. I wonder if Yu Hui felt that My family has a big business, and I still have more vision and courage. I am much easier to talk to than the ghost cultivator named Ma on Qingxia Island. Many ghosts and ghosts with three souls and seven souls that have not been left are almost given to that guy for free. Mr. Accountant, if Yu Hui had not ceased to be the poor little monk who had to go to village graves and mass graves to search for lowly ghosts to refine the natal objects, he would have refined them all long ago. Ghost generals and higher-ranking ghost kings need to feed on these scattered souls.

Chen Ping'an asked some more about the talisman's method of nourishing the soul.

Yu Hui had been carefully guarding the two puppets behind the young man, for fear that if they disagreed, they would go on a rampage and kill people. Faced with these indifferent inquiries, he naturally knew everything he wanted to say.

Outside Yunlou City, the Seventh Level Sword Cultivator, who was surrounded by dozens of monks, was killed on the spot by the two big men. Regarding this matter, I believe that even he, Yu Hui, and all the Shujian Lake Earth Immortal monks were killed. He began to prepare for a rainy day and worked hard to think of countermeasures. Unexpectedly, a group of island owners came to Gongliu Island to join forces to break the situation.

Among the tens of thousands of cultivators in Shujian Lake, there is always a rule that is regarded as a guideline by the monks, that is, there is no truly invincible magic weapon. If there is one today, there will be none tomorrow. At the latest, the day after tomorrow, there will definitely be a way to break it. .

Chen Ping'an did not let Yu Hui see him off. When he arrived at the ferry, he put away the Day and Night Wandering God True Body Talisman whose divine light was getting increasingly dim, hid it in his sleeve, and punted away.

The autumn scenery of Shujian Lake is beautiful, with more than a thousand islands, each with its own unique autumn beauty.

Chen Pingan was in no hurry to return to Qingxia Island.

Just on the lake, I stopped the ferry, took off my sword gourd, and took a sip of wine to refresh myself.

Chen Ping'an didn't care about his sword gourd and looked around at the lake scenery.

Mr. Wen Sheng once said that a gentleman's nature is not different, he is good at pretending to things.

That's why Chen Ping'an wrote those three letters and Feijian sent messages in three directions.

He did not hesitate to consume the divine light of the talisman, but also decisively used the Day and Night Wandering God True Body Talisman, and then forced the semi-immortal weapon out of its sheath.

Chen Pingan now also understands that there are thresholds for the principles of the world. It's too high and I don't want to go in. It's too low and I don't like to take it seriously. Neither high nor low, throwing away and picking up, is never the real truth. In the final analysis, one still follows the underlying context of looking at the world deep in one's heart, and the vertical and horizontal fields that cut into one's heart, in order to conduct one's life. For example, Gu Can's mother never believed that evil will be punished. Chen Pingan has always believed that this is the fundamental difference between the two people's minds, which will lead to greater differences between the two in terms of gains and losses. One person values ​​things in kind, and Chen Pingan is willing to Apart from the physical objects, gains and losses have almost nothing to do with what you have experienced after leaving your hometown or how many principles you know in books.

If we go deeper and examine it, it involves a person's simplest view of the world, and what the national teacher Cui Chan calls one.

Chen Ping'an had actually thought of this step before, but chose to stop and turn back.

There is no use in thinking too much.

All the fundamental cognitions that determine a person's character and behavior, whether wide or narrow, big or small, right or wrong, thick or thin, will always fall on the same line of characters and compete with each other's skills.

Now Chen Ping'an has no choice but to stop practicing boxing and put his sword away. He doesn't even think about the important future of the ten-year agreement and the one-year agreement for the time being. Naturally, he has a lot of time to calm down and think about things. In time, when I look at Shujian Lake again, I have to think more and see further than when I stood on the railing at Ziyang Mansion in Huang Tingguo. For example, Chen Ping'an can be sure that Shujian Lake is a battleground for military strategists. Before the Great Li cavalry went south, it was an outlawed place where wild cultivators took refuge in the mountains and swamps. In the eyes of the Zhu Ying Dynasty, it would be too much to consume if eaten, and it would be a hindrance if not eaten. This is a useless place. Now that the balance has been broken, it is bound to usher in an earth-shaking change.
