Chen Ping and Ning Yao walked back to the town, where it was not only Huaihuang County, where the Superintendent of the Ministry of Construction was no longer the only place. They passed an old-fashioned restaurant, which occupies a small area but has three floors. It was once the highest in the town. Building, but the third floor is not open to the public.

Chen Ping made a temporary intention and said to drink inside, and smiled and said to Ning Yao that in the early years, only the rich in Good Fortune Street and Peach Blossom Alley would come here to drink, otherwise it would be the dragon kiln Old Master here. Collect apprentices while serving wine.

After chatting at the Capital Fire Temple, Chen Ping realized that this restaurant is actually the property of Aunt Feng. The third floor is her resting place.

Apart from this, Aunt Feng also saved a lot of land deeds. She also divulge the will of heaven, saying that most of the dragon kiln kiln mouths that have been converted into civilian kilns are under the name of old coachmen. The old coachman usually lives in Erlang Alley. As for Lu Wei of Central Plains Yin-Yang School of Thought, there are many houses in Good Fortune Street and Peach Blossom Alley.

Chen Ping chose a table by the window and only needed a pot of wine. The jug and bowl are all celadon made locally.

Ning Yao only drank a bowl, but did not stop Chen Ping from drinking.

In this restaurant, there was a rare visitor in the early years.

Even the nominal hotel shopkeeper didn’t take it seriously. But the real restaurant owner, Aunt Feng once sighed faintly.

A Mister, a school of frosty white temples, once asked for a pot of wine and a few dishes with wine here.

Looking from the window on the second floor of the restaurant, you can just see a plaque on the archway on the street.

After drinking and eating food, Chen Ping’s face was slightly red, but his eyes were bright. Standing at the window, looking at the archway building for a moment, after regaining his sight, he got off the restaurant with Ning Yao and returned to Unrestrained Mountain.

The westernmost mansion belongs to Li Huai’s family. A few years ago, there was a wedding party here. It was Li Liu who married a scholar from a foreign town. It is said that he was a pampered young master of a family of officials and officials, making the woman fiercely proud. After a fight, I stopped cursing people. At that time, the woman liked to hang out the most. Everyone smiled at each other when they met, and many of them were neighbour enemies who had quarreled or even scratched their faces. It’s just that the family returned to North Entirely Reed Continent now.

Ning Yao is a little curious that Li Liu will marry, Chen Ping said with a smile: “It seems to be a past life, and cut off the red dust. Since then, I have peace of mind and become an Ascension Realm. There is no problem.”

Ning Yao blinked.

Chen Ping said helplessly: “I don’t know either.”

Ning Yao tilted his head.

Chen Ping said: “I mean I don’t know what you are thinking.”

In fact, there is a secret hidden here, so that Dong Shuijing and Lin Shouyi didn’t give up completely, or that they didn’t put the bastard egg bag in the sack.

It’s just this kind of thing, Chen Ping is really inappropriate to say it. The truth is probably on Li Liu’s side, it’s a name but nothing. As for the scholar, God knows.

Today, a table at Unrestrained Mountain is full of people.

The main seat of the opposite door, sitting Chen Ping and Ning Yao.

Zhu Lian, Wei Wenlong and Zhang Jiazhen in charge of the accountant.

Mi Yu, Xiao Mo, Xianwei.

Back to the door at the last seat, sitting Chen Lingjun, millet grains, and Chen Nuanshu.

Previously, the old cook was busy at the stove. Nuanshu and Xiao Mi Li both helped choose dishes and blow bamboo tubes, while Xiao Mo was responsible for serving the dishes to the table.

I saw Xian Wei shaking his head, this little Mo, really doesn’t think of himself as an outsider, and he’s not an outsider. Soon, he will worship Divine Immortal and Chen Lingjun as brothers, just waiting for Jia Old. Brother chose a lucky day, and the three of them are going to cut chicken heads and burn yellow paper at Dragon Riding Alley. At the wine table before, Chen Lingjun patted him with pain in his shoulder, no matter what, they are all good brothers. Besides, Chen Lingjun has already slapped his chest and promised that you will wait for you, brother Xianwei, to share the blessings and keep the spicy food. In the future, whenever there are only three or two dishes on the table in the future, even if I, Chen Ling, don’t talk about justice. , I have treated my brother badly!

As a result, Jia Old Brother slapped the table and bluntly cursed to let your mother ass.

Most of Xianwei was so scared that he woke up, but it was Chen Lingjun, standing on the bench with his hands on his hips, laughing heartily.

It turned out that Xianwei had a false alarm, because Divine Immortal soon came with a few quick words, saying that Brother Chen, you look down on our Grass Head Shop, or do you look down on my cooking skills? No matter how high the wine is, you can’t blindly boasting. It’s not comparable to the old Steward on the mountain. It’s a must, but I’m Jia Sheng’s level of appetizers. How many chefs in the small town restaurant can compare? ! what? !

Especially Divine Immortal’s dragging the extremely long “Ah” character, I heard the warmth in Xianwei’s heart.

This is the rivers and lakes and wine bureaus that I am thinking of.

As for today, it’s a bit less interesting, but Mister Zhu’s dishes are really delicious.

No matter who is not restrained, there is no red tape of toasting each other. You can drink, eat and eat, and there is no such nonsense of not talking and eating.

Zhu Lian sipped, took a sip of wine, and asked with a smile: “Brother Xiaomo, Daoist Priest, can you still put down chopsticks?”

Xianwei lowered the chopsticks like flying, bowed his head and said: “To be able to use the chopsticks, you must be able to.”

Xiao Mo didn’t say anything, just held the cup in both hands, raised his head, drank it, and then the glass was facing down.

Chen Ping and Zhu Lian asked heartily: “Why didn’t the Cen Yuan machine come? Is she afraid that there will be too many people and no place?”

Jiang Qu is retreating for cultivation, Chen Ping didn’t let Zhu Lian call someone.

Zhu Lian explained with a smile: “No, she only has two meals every day, morning and evening, and it is a medicinal diet. If you don’t step on it this hour, you won’t come. Girl, then fearing nothing in Heaven or Earth, Also be afraid of a fat word. And I said hello to her, she said that she had to invite the mountain master and his wife to dinner alone, and thank you.”

Chen Ping couldn’t help but laugh after hearing the words, “That’s me.”

Thinking of something, Chen Ping continued to ask in his heart: “Now that Cen Yuanji’s parents are old, and the two elders are in good health? Last time I returned home, I heard Xiao Mi Li said that Cen Yuanji’s mother was infected. The wind is chilling.”

Zhu Lian said: “Eastern Mountain pretended to be a doctor in secret, and was seen by the helper. He was in good health.”

Chen Ping nodded and said: “Still pay more attention.”

Zhu Lian nodded.

After a meal, Chen Ping asked Nuanshu and Xiao Mi Li to lead the way to Pei Qian’s house.

Chen Ping glanced at the cotton satchel of Right Protector and asked with a smile: “Where is the big bag of golden melon seeds? Is it too heavy, so I didn’t take it out?”

Little girl patted loves the satchel, and explains in a low voice to the owner of the good man: “In this’accompaniment capital’, only a part of the soldiers and horses are stationed in it for the time being, and I will fight in the north and south with me. The main force stays elsewhere and does not move.”

With the accompanying capital, of course there is also Capital. Of course, it is the celadon piggy bank that she and Pei Qian and Nuanshu have. It was given to them by the old cook in the early years.

As for the nicknames of Capital and Peidu, of course, they are the nicknames that Pei Qian helped to come up with. They are so aggressive.

This is the first time Chen Ping has entered Pei Qian’s house.

Of course this is related to Chen Ping’s short stay in Unrestrained Mountain,

For nearly thirty years, he, the owner of the mountain, arm-flinging shopkeeper, has not been too much.

When you arrive at Pei Qian’s house, one room is your residence, and the other is…it’s the study of this Head Disciple.

The study is not locked, but there are actually few books in it.

Leaning against a shelf on the wall, there are various treasures accumulated by Pei Qian during his many years of travel. They are placed randomly, and there is no high or low rank.

But after listening to the whistleblower of the millet grains, Pei Qian kept the most valuable items in the next room.

There are also a few boxes under the bed. They are full of ledgers and locked. Even Nuanshu’s elder sister does not have a key.

Chen Ping took out three multi-treasure racks, one large and two small, from within a few steps. From the materials to the tenon and tenon, it was all hands-on. The small multi-treasure racks can be stored and taken out completely. As for the big one, Chen Ping temporarily worked as a carpenter and squatted on the ground to assemble. After successfully accomplished, Chen Ping patted the palm of his hand, turned his head to look at the table and stool by the window, and left it for many years, so it was still a small desk and high stool.

Pei Qian practiced boxing at the bamboo house when he was young, and went back to the residence every day, and copied books here.

Chen Ping could not imagine that a Little Heitan who was so afraid of hardship back then would suddenly think of practicing boxing. If she knows, she probably won’t have to copy the book, she owes it first, and will make up later.

Chen Ping is in a complicated mood. After leaving Pei Qian’s house, he is still in a complicated mood.

Not far from the door, there was a small street.

Nuanshu and Millet Grain left immediately and went to work on their own.

Xiao Mo waved with the two little girls, and then asked the question he wanted to ask on the ferry, “When will Young Master visit Draping Clouds Mountain?”

Chen Ping was stunned. The lights went dark. He was too familiar with Wei Shanjun. Every time he returned to his hometown, he never remembered this. Every time Wei Bo visited Unrestrained Mountain on his own initiative, and Wei Bo also took the initiative to visit Unrestrained Mountain. Did not consider himself an outsider of Unrestrained Mountain. The melon seeds of millet grains, Wei Shanjun really knocked.

However, it is still inconsistent with the etiquette. It is indeed that I have neglected. Chen Ping said with a smile: “It is better to have a chance as soon as possible. We will go to visit Mr. Wei Shan.”

The two went to Draping Clouds Mountain together.

Wei Bo appeared on the top of the mountain, a little surprised, said with a smile: “Rare.”

Chen Ping is very sad.

This is not really true.

Xiao Mo bent over and said, “I have seen Mr. Wei Shan.”

I saw the mountain monarch in front of me, slender figure, handsome in appearance, a snow-white robe, and a golden ring in his earrings. Floating out of the dust, the style is outstanding.

After all, Wei Bo is a mountain monarch. He already knows the young cultivator of unknown origin. Dao Name Xizhu, whose name is strange, is a new offering from Unrestrained Mountain and also became the third of the Great Li Dynasty Penal Department. And so on.

Wei Bo smiled and cup one fist in the other hand, rejoicing, with no taboo, “I have seen Xi Zhu Fellow Daoist.”

Without saying a word, Xiao Mo directly drew out two meeting gifts from his sleeves, which are a pair of pocket-sized and lovely mountain treasures, a sapphire axe, and a yellow jade yue.

According to today’s Grand Virtue World, they are all semi-fairy ranks.

It’s just a dispensable taste for Xiao Mo.

Who is giving it to me? is it possible that still take it for money?

It can still only be regarded as a polite and affectionate icing on the cake.

After all, he is a Xiaomo who even described his two Life-Source Flying Swords as “fancy and impractical”.

Wei Bo wanted to decline, because of his relationship with Unrestrained Mountain, there is no need to disagree.

And Mr. Wei Dashan mistakenly thought it was at most two magic treasures to meet each other.

It’s just that Xiao Mo insisted, saying that Wei Shanjun and his Young Master are the intimate friendship that met at the end of the day, and they have been taking care of Unrestrained Mountain for so many years. If you don’t accept this thin gift, it would be too unfavorable.

Then there will be a banquet at Draping Clouds Mountain in the future, because he is willing to invite his Xiaomo to be a guest, and will never come.

Wei Bo was stunned.

It is really on Unrestrained Mountain, such a “gentle person” is rare.

Not much, properly speaking, it seems that there are only two cute little girls, Nuanshu and Millet.

But if Xiao Mo knows the gift’s rank, will Wei Bo accept it? It’s already safe. Chen Ping couldn’t stop even if he wanted to.

How do you really have money as a mountain monarch?

Those fucking Shanshui Mansion newspapers, especially the Immortal Mansion in Zhongyue Jinqing, pen on paper, and they like innuendo.

It is said that there are people on the Aquarius Continent mountain now starting to bet on when will Draping Clouds Mountain hold the next night banquet.

Chen Ping did not use his heartfelt words, Blunt said: “Xiao Mo is a sword cultivator, Ascension Realm Peak, actually from Wild Desolate World, the place of cultivating Taoism is in the bright moon, and I slept for thousands of years. Not long ago, it was Grand Virtue World with me, Ning Yao, and the saint of worship.”

Wei Shanjun just raised that arm, and originally wanted to take the gift from the “Xiaomo”, but he froze over there.

An Ascension Realm Peak sword cultivator? !

Isn’t it equivalent to the old throne of a Wild Desolate World? !

While Wei Bo was in a daze, Chen Ping asked in his heart: “Xiao Mo, what kind of rank?”

Xiao Mo obediently and honestly replied: “Half fairy soldier.”

Wei Bo just wanted to brace oneself to take the gift.

Chen Ping immediately grabbed Wei Shanjun’s arm with one hand, and held Xiao Mo’s wrist with the other, complaining: “It’s all my own family, blind polite, Xiao Mo, you regard Wei Shanjun as who, so put it away. “

Wei Bo laughed and said: “Xiao Mo, Chen Ping makes sense. They are all a family. If you are polite with you, I will accept the gift. Just let me say something polite to you. Thank you. The next night banquet, how could it be possible that Xiao Mo will be missing, and it is possible to have a night banquet for Xiao Mo.”

Chen Shanzhu is not like this, Wei Shanjun still has no score in his heart. The more Chen Ping is like this, the more Wei Bo knows that he does not accept gifts and must regret his intestines.

Want shameless?

If I want to make a face, can I host that many night banquets? The reputation is so bad that the street has reached the North Entirely Reed Continent!

How did Liu Jinglong’s wine table come out?

How did my own night party at Draping Clouds Mountain first come about?

Chen Ping looks at Wei Shanjun.

Will two pieces be too many, how about one piece.

Wei Bo looked towards Chen Shanzhu.

Get out.

Chen Shanzhu still has a firm vision.

Earlier, I finally bought the bamboo from Mrs. Azure Divine Mountain, real gold, white silver? I gave it to Draping Clouds Mountain for nothing?

Wei Shanjun responded with a sneer.

One yard goes to one yard, and Xizhu Fellow Daoist and I hit it off right away. If you have a face to stop it, I have the face to close it.

Two neighbors, silence is better than sound at this time.

Chen Ping felt that he was inferior to others, so he had to put his hands away, and said with a smile: “Little Mo, we can wait for the invitation of the night banquet. After all, the opportunity is rare, no A good thing that can often come across.”

Wei Bo put the green jade axe and Huang Yuyue in his sleeve, and said with a smile: “Drink or drink tea, listen to you.”

Chen Ping laughed and asked: “Drinking mountains and water destiny, is it not hit?”

Wei Bo waved his sleeves, “whatever you want.”

Xiao Mo feels that his Young Master and Wei Shanjun are indeed deeply emotional, and it seems that the gift has not been given in vain.

What is in Draping Clouds Mountain? Colorful clouds and green trees, pavilions and lofts on the ridge.

What happened in the mountains today? Meet friends, Songhua brewing wine, Chun Shui sencha.

The Songhua Wine brewed by Wei Shanjun himself is a must. It’s just that the reputation is not as big as the Everspring Palace wine.

Having said that, in the Northern Mountain boundary, who would dare to drink Draping Clouds Mountain’s Songhua Wine easily? Only after attending the night banquet can I have the opportunity to drink a pot.

The most expensive Immortal Family wine in the world, except for Azure Divine Mountain from Bamboo Sea Paradise, is Draping Clouds Mountain from Aquarius Continent.

The spring water is a unique jasper spring in Draping Clouds Mountain, and it is one of the famous springs of Aquarius Continent.

Actually, the comment on the spring water came from the handwriting of Dong Shuijing, a Mohist School of Thought creditor. Because the three springs on the list were all rounded up by him.

The tea is the new tea delivered by the little warm tree before and after the rain this year. Several old wild tea plants from Rosy Clouds Peak are picked by the warm tree and then hand-fried by the old cook.

Chen Ping said with a smile: “Allow me to turn away from the guest, and I will make tea.”

After sitting down, shook the sleeves of azure clothes and used fire and water methods.

Making tea, moving clouds and flowing water, is pleasing to the eye.

Wei Bo squinted his eyes and smiled.

The straw-shoe youngster in the past is so immortal.

Return to Unrestrained Mountain from Draping Clouds Mountain.

Ning Yao lived in the house on the side of Xiao Nuan Shu tonight, Xiao Mi Li often rubbed the quilt with Nuan Shu’s elder sister, and then followed, anyway, there are so many quilts over there.

Chen Ping was sitting on the first floor of the bamboo house and reading. In the middle of the night, he went to the Mud Bottle Alley ancestral house, lit a lamp, and sat all night without feeling lonely.

————

In the early morning of 2nd day, returning to Unrestrained Mountain, Chen Ping and Ning Yao went to worship the sword platform again.

Yu Yue, Liu Xiazhou sword cultivator, is the guest official of Pure White Continent Miyun Xie Clan.

The old sword cultivator is sorry. When he saw the mountain owner, he immediately set off on his way. Otherwise, he kidnapped the two disciplines as soon as he was turned off. The old sword cultivator ran away early, and if he didn’t know how to run away, so that someone could not see and be upset, Yu Yue would have to worry about being asked the sword by the Great Sword Immortal.

As soon as Yu Yue saw Chen Ping, he knew what the Hidden Officer meant, and he became more relieved.

Chen Ping jokingly said: “Don’t think I am rushing people.”

“How dare you.”

Yu Yue said with a smile: “Sir, Hidden Officer, don’t let Mi Yu get angry. I’ve been on the mountain these days, I deliberately called him Sword Immortal. Although I’m useless on the Great Wall of Sword Qi, But at any rate I still know the customs there, and I saw my old friend Pu He, who was also a talk about boasting at the wine table. Haha, do you dare to call Mi Yu like that? I dare, and I’ve seen it again and again. Say Sword Immortal in front of you.”

To say that Yu Yue is not flustered at all, he is deceiving himself and others. Fortunately, every time Miyu’s eyes are not good, it is not true.

Yu Yue suppressed a smile and continued: “Follow the hermit, help me give me a word to Mi Sword Immortal, Yu Yue respects Mi Yu in his heart, and is true to the slightest.”

Chen Ping nodded promised to come down, and asked with a smile: “Why don’t you go to Miyu to say such kind of good things in person.”

Yu Yue is a straightforward person, said with a laugh: “Before I owe my mouth, Mi Sword Immortal yelled too much, and I yelled at him Mi Yu. Besides, I am also worried that this kind of sincerity will not be taken seriously by Mi Yu. It is from the hidden official. Said, Miyu would definitely like to believe that I don’t lose money, I still make money.”

Chen Ping nodded, turned his head and looked at the child who didn’t dare to look at Ning Yao.

Chen Ping took out two prepared small bags from his sleeves, handed them to Yu Qingzhang and He Xiangting, and explained with a smile: “I have converted three hundred snowflake coins into three Lesser Summer Coins. It is a rule of Unrestrained Mountain Ancestral Hall. It is said that dísciple will have this money if he goes out for a long trip. You have not formally followed the Sword Immortal to learn art, and I have not crossed out the name on the ancestral score of Ji Sefeng, so this rule cannot Broken.”

Yu Qingzhang and He Xiangting each took the light money bags, but it made them feel a little heavy.

He Xiangting, a child who likes to read, said courageously: “Hi, my lord, we are not sensible anymore.”

Yu Qingzhang held back for a long time, and said dullly: “My Hidden Officer, I’m sorry.”

Chen Ping said with a smile: “Don’t think about it this way, it’s not a matter of great right and wrong, cultivation on the mountain, pay attention to their own conditions, some things, I am in that position, must do, you are in your own situation Here, I will think the same. Now that we are going to be separated, I will tell you something in my heart. If you don’t think that way, don’t alienate me, I, the hidden officer, feel that something is wrong, and I should underestimate you.”

All the children in the world probably grew up along with the truth.

Chen Ping took out another stack of books. At the top was a copy of “Standard Sword Technique”, which was copied by Chen Ping himself.

There are also several Sage books and literati notes bought from the Great Li Dynasty Capital bookstore.

Together with He Xiangting, who likes to read, Chen Ping said: “You’d better read this “Standard Sword Technique” carefully. As for the rest of the books, you should look at them according to your preference. , It doesn’t matter.”

He Xiangting took the book and expressed his gratitude to Mister Chen from Unrestrained Mountain, the hidden official of the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

Yu Qingzhang wanted to speak but stopped, scratching his head.

Chen Ping played said with a smile: “I regret it now, it’s still too late.”

The two children grinned and laughed. This is probably the first time they have smiled on the young hermit’s side, and they are sincere.

“If you have a good Master, you must cultivation. Even in the Great Wall of Sword Qi, not every young sword cultivator can get Original Purity Realm senior as the Master and be preached carefully.” [ 19459002]

Chen Ping reached out and gently pressed the heads of the two children. “Cultivation is for a better life, but life is more than cultivation. You don’t need to understand this truth for the time being.”

Two children, all nodded.

Chen Ping withdrew his hand and said in his heart: “Yu Zhe, say a few more words, and you have to be more strict in the future. You can’t just stare at their cultivation and break through. It is not that you must reprimand, but in all aspects. Be careful. The matter of cultivation, no matter how big it is, is not as big as being a human being. It is said that the first thing wealthy families love their children, the first thing must be sufficient wealth, elders love, it is human nature, but if it is spoiled, it is easy to cultivate arrogance How can you become a virtuous person if you are young and arrogant?”

“Especially Yu Qingzhang and He Xiangting are both poor origins. Suddenly they changed their growth environment, and their lives suddenly became rich, so we should pay more attention to this matter. Those of us who are Masters should teach Daoist and teach by precepts and deeds. The two precious Secret Manuals are more important. In comparison, the person who does not need to find money on their own is the sword cultivator.”

“Some ordinary trivial matters, as elders, must not do it for you. Some essential family teaching etiquette must be taught repeatedly. Since you are already a sword cultivator, you must cherish this Good Fortune and let the children raise them. Become a habit not to ignore the lives of others. Although Yu Qingzhang and He Xiangting are good friends, they have very different personalities. Let Yu Qingzhang follow you along the ten thousand li road. Read more books, broaden your eyes, and broaden your mind. Apart from studying at the Xiangting pavilion, he should pay more attention to the trivial things around him. He can’t study hard. He is constrained by reason into a rigid temperament. You must apply what you have learned.”

“It’s me who talked.”

Chen Ping laughed at himself, slightly apologetic, and said nothing more.

After all, Yu Yue is now the nominal Master of the two children.

Actually it is not suitable. Fortunately, Yu Yue is not a small-minded Old Senior, otherwise, based on this remark, it is estimated that he will be charged a bit of revenge.

Yu Yue sighed sincerely: “Master Hidden Officer, where is this babbling? It is a sword technique, it is Dao Fa.”

Thinking of the mandarin duck meeting for the first time, this young hidden official, how confident and energetic.

But at the time of parting today, the heartfelt words of the young hidden official made Yu Yue realize that the young Sword Immortal in front of him was actually the final disciple of Literary Saint lineage, a little master who had read Sage’s book.

“I have only one thing, not to say any kind words to worship.”

Chen Ping continued: “You must not let two children be outside, knowing that they have the right, but who is being bullied. There is no who loves the world, and the overall situation is taken care of. After all, the sword cultivator is the sword cultivator, and the sword cultivator must be the sword cultivator. .”

“I will never allow the children who left the Great Wall of Sword Qi, the temperament, to act, one by one will become…very Grand Virtue World, not at all like the sword cultivator of the Great Wall of Sword Qi. If someday I found that it became like this, for worship, then I’m sorry.”

“Change me to teach.”

Old sword cultivator said solemnly: “Liu Xiazhou sword cultivator, Yu Yue will never let Chen Mister be so disappointed.”

Different from Chen Ping’s careful thought.

Ning Yao is still her consistent style. Taking advantage of Chen Ping and Yu Yue’s heartfelt words, she has some words to teach the two hometown children, but she still doesn’t bother to say something.

“Yu Qingzhang, your sword practice aptitude is just acceptable. What kind of material is it? You have to count yourself. You have to be diligent about cultivation. Don’t forget your roots when you get to Grand Virtue World. Don’t come to that set of things. More than that. Remember to read more books, use your mind more when you encounter things, and learn more about your hidden officials.”

“He Xiangting, don’t be too far apart by Yu Qingzhang. Within the sixty years cycle, at most a realm difference of one and a half is allowed. You can’t fall in this breath. Take a step back and say that practicing swords can slow realm and be a human being. Don’t narrow evil. The heart is righteous, and the sword heart is clear, and the sword technique is bright.”

Ning Yao looked indifferent and said: “you two, remember each word for me clearly.”

Yu Qingzhang and He Xiangting unanimously trembled: “Remember!”

Some secrets and inside stories of the colorful world, that big white goose has already said.

In the history of a brand new world, first Original Purity Realm, Immortal Realm and Ascension Realm!

Sword Slash High Spiritual God.

Traveling far away with the sword alone, asking about the sword, severely injured Dao Ancestor’s final disciple.

Now the first under the heavens of the colorful world!

For the nine Sword Immortal embryos, it is not strange, there is only one mind.

Ning Yao really is Ning Yao.

There is no such thing as a sword cultivator like Ning Yao.

Yu Yue listened, the old man was actually not much better than the two children.

After listening to the old sword cultivator, there is only one emotion at the moment.

Your Hidden Officer is amazing.

Ning Yao cup one fist in the other hand said: “I have worked hard with the old Mister.”

Yu Yue hurriedly bowed his hand in return, “Don’t dare to be it.”

Chen Ping took out Fu Zhou and sent the three masters and disciple to Niujiaodu. Aquarius Continent has no direct ferry to Pure White Continent yet, and needs to wait for an intercontinental ferry to Entirely Reed Continent.

At the ferry, the ferry has not yet entered the Longzhou boundary. I chatted with the old sword cultivator for about two quarters of an hour. Chen Ping asked about the customs of Liuxiazhou and Pure White Continent, and Yu Yue naturally knew everything. It’s endless and humorous. It’s a pity that the old sword cultivator doesn’t become a storyteller Mister.

After the three of Yu Yue boarded the ferry, Chen Ping and Ning Yao stood near the railing and waved goodbye.

Xiao Mo found Chief Steward Zhu Lian and said that he wanted to build a book building.

The worship of Unrestrained Mountain and the guest official. Near the bamboo house of Qianshan, there will be a house of its own. In fact, there is not much left. It is a coincidence that the worship of Xiaomo and the guest official Xianwei who went up the mountain together, there are just two The house is idle, otherwise they would really have to move to the mountainside. With the style of Unrestrained Mountain, it would never be because Xiaomo is an Ascension Realm, and Xianwei has a great background. This kind of thing makes an exception for them.

And the Immortal Mansion on the mountainside is endless. There are more than 30 large and small seats, all of which were invested by Chief Zhou in the early years. In the future, they will be used to let the newly collected dísciple settle down or serve guests, but Nowadays, the number of people in Unrestrained Mountain’s genealogy dísciple is still small, and the mountain owner has spoken again, making the current Unrestrained Mountain resemble a mountain for twenty years, so except for a house where two people live, the rest are temporarily vacant.

When Xiao Mo found Zhu Lian, the old cook was weaving baskets in the yard. He heard that Xiao Mo had to pay for the building of the study building by himself. He smiled and said that it was okay. The craftsmen on the mountain on the side of Mt. Hui Meng were all ready-made. The manpower and craftsmanship are good, not short of a bookstore. The only problem is that there is really no land near the bamboo house, so Xiaomo has three choices at the moment, build it near Jise Peak, or build it on the mountainside, otherwise he would simply choose a vassal mountain as his own place to cultivate. , May be more refreshing.

Xiao Mo said that it shouldn’t be so troublesome. If the mountain rules are not violated, he can tear down his house and build a book building on the original site. He can use the book building as a Dao Mansion mansion, and the book building is only It needs to be two stories high.

Zhu Lian thought for a while, and said that if Brother Xiao Mo can trust him, he will build the book building. But it takes some working hours and there is no need to send money to outsiders.

Xiao Mo was pleasantly surprised, and quickly got up and thanked him.

Because his Young Master mentioned Unrestrained Mountain, the erudite and versatility of this old Mister Zhu was extremely admired. Young Master gave a high evaluation that could not be higher, “No Zhu Lian does not Even if you don’t know how to do it right now, you can give Zhu Lian at most three or two years, and he will be a well-deserved Grandmaster in this business, and you won’t be convinced. The reason why I can travel far away with confidence, Zhu Lian, Chief Steward, has done a lot. Yan.”

Zhu Lian asked with a smile: “Xiao Mo, can the book building have a name?”

Xiao Mo said: “Two Lost Buildings.”

“Good name.”

Zhu Lian un’ed, “It has the level of our Young Master name.”

Xiaomo said with a smile: “This is the name Young Master helped to choose.”

Zhu Lian sighed, turned his head and said resolutely to Xiao Mo: “Young Master usually doesn’t take action easily when it comes to naming. After so many years, only a few times have passed. It is enough to show Young Master’s green eyes on Xiao Mo. Plus.”

Xiao Mo smiled and narrowed his eyes.

Zhu Lian said with a smile: “Envy and envy. Like my book building, there is still no name. I once asked Young Master for calligraphy, but it won’t work after all.”

Xiao Mo inevitably has some doubts. Given the love between Mister Zhu and his Young Master, why is this so?

It’s just said in the book. When you are in a happy state, don’t talk about the happy things with the frustrated people.

After all, Xiao Mo had just gone up the mountain. He didn’t know some inside stories, and temporarily didn’t know the mysterious book collection in that book building. Chen Ping would be a ghost if he helped to name it.

所以小陌当下只是转移话题，问道：“我要是留在这边，会不会耽误朱Mister 的正事。”

Zhu Lian said with a smile ：“干活而言，谈不上正事不正事的，小陌你留下最好，我还能有个说话的伴儿，与良人处，如饮醇酒。”

小陌从袖中摸出一本婉约词，就坐在一旁翻书看。

Zhu Lian 忙碌间隙，瞥了眼词集上边的内容，笑着摇头道：“百花开时最思君，百花谢时最恨君？”

此言差矣，落入俗套了。

“当是百花开时最怨君，百花谢时最忆君，无论思与怨，都在百花时。”

才可谓用情极深、起怨极长，不敢恨，只能怨，道尽女子哀思苦楚。

小陌怔怔无言，随后心悦诚服，转身cup one fist in the other hand 道：“朱Mister 妙语连珠，如婀娜仕女从画卷中蹁跹而来，无花自芬芳。”

Zhu Lian laughed heartily 道：“小陌兄半点不差啊。”

小陌心定几分。

他与Unrestrained Mountain ，似乎天然契Dao Fusion 心，根本无需自己刻意入乡随俗。

“小陌来Unrestrained Mountain ，Unrestrained Mountain 有小陌，都是幸运事。”

Zhu Lian 娴熟编织着竹箩筐，随口说道：“powerhouse 的善意，是一场温柔的春风。”

小陌合上书籍，刚要说话，跑进来一个刚刚去了趟Mountain Sect 口的年轻Daoist ，涨红脸嚷嚷道：“小陌小陌，不得了不得了，原来这里就是Unrestrained Mountain ！”

那条渡船渐渐远去，如一鸟没长空。

Chen Ping 从Great Wall of Sword Qi 带回来的九个child ，都各有归属了，不再只是待在拜剑台那边埋头练剑了，都有了真正的未来。

小厨子程朝露，成为了Sui Youbian 的嫡传。小财迷纳兰玉牒，与掌律长命拜师。

虞青章和贺乡亭，已经跟随老sword cultivator 于樾跨洲远渡，先去往Pure White Continent 密云Xie Clan ，之后会带着两个child 一起游历流霞洲，打秋风。

用于樾的话说，就是密云Xie Clan 得笑开花，沾自己的光，等于不用半点Burning Incense 情，就分到了两位Great Wall of Sword Qi 的Sword Immortal 胚子，Divine Immortal 钱和heavenly materials earthly treasures 能少了？

何辜最终还是认了米裕当Master 。

其实就是Ning Yao 一句话的事情。

你有什么脸瞧不起米裕？他米裕在Golden Core 、Nascent Soul 的Earth Immortal 两境，杀妖战功汇总起来，高居第一，甚至超过了半数的Original Purity Realm sword cultivator 。

当时米裕就跟着Chen Ping 站在不远处，虽然Ning Yao 说了句实话，可米裕还是臊得慌。

如果说何辜这child at first 是不情不愿，可捏着鼻子也能认米裕当Master ，那么于斜回就是死活不愿跟随崔嵬这个“叛徒”学剑了。

甚至当时崔嵬想要将child 一起乘坐风鸢渡船，带去Tree Leaf Continent ，于斜回不愿离开拜剑台，气急了，当时与崔嵬说过几句极重的言语，你崔嵬还算是纳兰夜行的dísciple ，Master 都死了，that many 人都死了，that many 可以离开的Golden Core sword cultivator 都死了！就只有你在异乡躲起来，一剑不出，活得最好，你就不亏心吗？换成我，不死在家乡，也会死在Old Dragon City 这样的战场，让我认你当Master ？打死我都别想！让我当你Master 都嫌磕碜。

崔嵬这位Nascent Soul Realm sword cultivator 当时并没说什么，只是一言不发，默然离开拜剑台。

Ning Yao 的道理很简单，她没有说崔嵬的选择是对是错，也没说于斜回的执拗是好是坏，只是让于斜回自己去证明。

你先学了崔嵬的sword technique ，以后不用管什么山上的master and disciple 名分，双方问剑一场，分出胜负，凭自己ability 让崔嵬在那件事上，与你认错。

孙春王更好商量，Ning Yao 让小女孩至多sixty years cycle 之内，跻身Original Purity Realm ，就可以成为自己的Honorary Disciple 。

至于白玄，挨了顿训。

cultivation 一事认真点，你这份aptitude ，只是在Grand Virtue World 才算不错，在家乡那边，撑死了就是个Original Purity Realm 之前的米裕，竟然有脸说自己不用练剑？当自己是宗垣，还是陈熙？

唯独那个性子软绵的姚小妍，Ning Yao 没有说什么重话，只是让little girl 胆子大些。

之前在那拜剑台，八个child ，面对Ning Yao ，一个个keep quiet out of fear ，手足无措。

这可能就是Ning Yao 的强大之处。

她不用太在意什么，更懒得缝补人心。

但是Great Wall of Sword Qi 的child ，面对Ning Yao 。

其实就像早年岳青、米祜、李退密这些后来的Great Sword Immortal ，还是child 时，面对老Great Sword Immortal 。

难得开口，骂几句，是有的救，说明练剑aptitude 还凑合。

其实at first Ning Yao 也没想着说这么多。

只是一到拜剑台，就听说俩child 要离开Unrestrained Mountain ，而且好像还对Chen Ping 怨气不小，Ning Yao 就气不打一处来。

如此一来，九个child 当中，就只剩下两个Sword Immortal 胚子，尚未明确师承。

白玄和姚小妍。

所以Chen Ping 打算问一下小陌，是否中意白玄，愿意暂时将其收为不Honorary Disciple 。

再让那个改名为箜篌的白发童子，是否愿意传授姚小妍一些上乘的sword technique 道法。

只是什么事情都可以将就，Dao Companion ，或master and disciple ，将就不得。

站在渡口那边，Ning Yao 欲言又止，她极少有这种犹豫不决。

Chen Ping 伸手出袖，握住Ning Yao 的双手，轻声said with a smile ：“到了Ascend City ，帮我跟避暑行宫lineage 的同僚们问声好，尤其是喊你师娘的郭竹酒，就说她的Master 和Big Senior Sister 都很想她。”

Ning Yao nodded 。

如今的Chen Ping ，跌境惨了，让她有些放心不下。

小陌的sword technique 再高，再忠心耿耿，再与Chen Ping 投缘。

可终究不如自己待在他身边啊。

Chen Ping 抬起一只手，轻轻摩挲着Ning Yao 的眉头，歉意道：“离着Great Sword Immortal 又远了，不许着急啊。”

Ning Yao 还是只nodded ，不说话。

“Ascend City 在五彩天下put down roots ，我这个当隐官的，都没有在场，也无道贺，太不像话了。”

Chen Ping 收起手，手腕一拧，多出那把从仙簪城得来的拂尘，名字就叫拂尘。

Ning Yao 摇摇头，“你又不是外人，道贺什么。”

Chen Ping 自有理由，“不一样，这可是我从仙簪城那边辛苦抢来的，跟寻常物件，意义大不一样，搁在Ascend City ，最最适宜，谁让仙簪城敢跟Great Wall of Sword Qi 比高。”

Ning Yao 说道：“我在Ascend City 等你。”

Chen Ping nodded and said ：“好的。”

眼前女子，与她在少女时，还是很不一样的，反正都是最好。

Chen Ping took a deep breath ，“我送送你。”

两人身形化作青白长虹，sword qi 冲霄，瞬间远离渡口。

坐镇Aquarius Continent 天幕的那位儒家文庙Sage ，打开通往五彩天下的那道大门。

真正想要进入五彩天下，Ning Yao 还有一段光阴长河的路程要走，只不过道路安稳，就像人间的官道驿路。

在大门关闭后，old man 子站在白云上，微said with a smile ：“既然不舍，何不挽留。”

Chen Ping 笑着不说话，只是与这位文庙Sage 作揖告别。

回到Unrestrained Mountain 。

Chen Ping 已经将那把夜游剑，悬挂在bamboo house 一楼的墙壁上，与那幅对联为邻。

看了眼墙上的在鞘long sword 。

世道涂潦意难平，壁上Dragon Snake 飞动。

书桌上摆放了两部印谱，当之无愧的初本。

分别是百Sword Immortal 印谱，皕Sword Immortal 印谱。

晏胖子当年想买，不给。价格可以谈，休想。

害得晏琢差点就想要趁着Chen Ping 在避暑行宫当那隐官大人，跑去宁府当梁上君子了。

Chen Ping 走出bamboo house ，后边那座曾经栽种有一株紫Golden Lotus 花的小池塘，已经搬去了藕花blessed land 。

看着空荡荡的无水池塘，没来由想起一句佛家语。

犹如莲花不着水，亦如日月不住空。

修道之人，幽居山中，所谓真正得道，大概就是一双眼眸如日月，一颗Dao Heart 似Azure Lotus 。

离开小池塘，去往崖畔石桌。

在bamboo house 和崖畔石桌之间，铺有azure 石砖，可以在此六步走桩。

之前是跟学生Cui Dongshan 一起铺设的，只是Chen Ping 也不知道，Cui Dongshan 到底在青砖底部铭刻了什么文字内容。

之前听老厨子说Wei Xian 收了个嫡传当Head Disciple ，一个才九岁大的小女孩，还是个孤苦伶仃的child ，却已经有五周岁的修道年龄了。

是Wei Xian 在藩属小国小地方捡来的dísciple 。一个孤儿，四岁就开始cultivation ？

master and disciple 双方，第一次见面，Wei Xian 当时正在一处驿路旁的酒肆喝酒，就只要了一碗，不然喝酒误事。

然后Wei Xian 就瞧见了个衣衫褴褛的女孩，身形消瘦，面色枯黄，但是一双眼眸，不同常人，行走之时，呼吸，脚步，都很沉稳。

那女孩从兜里摸出几颗铜钱，familiar 跟酒肆shopkeeper 买了两碗劣酒，然后也不挑选空酒桌坐着，女孩就只是蹲在路边喝酒，端一碗，喝一碗。

两碗喝完，一叠放，就归还shopkeeper 。

从买酒到还碗，小女孩从头到尾，都无言语，算好时辰和脚力，在暮色里趁着尚未夜禁，默默返回县城。

Wei Xian 见那shopkeeper 好像对此半点不奇怪，应该是认识的，就跟对方一打听，才知道这个小小年纪就学会了喝酒的女孩，竟然就是酒肆这边的常客了，听shopkeeper 说little girl 无家可归，好像早年是个跟爹娘走散了的难民。前些年担Sect Master 国的Great Li Dynasty ，允许各个藩属凭功复国，其实老百姓也无所谓，结果就真坏事了，据说是当Crown Prince 的，复国称帝了，几个兄弟就非要跟他争那张Dragon Throne 坐，兵荒马乱的，谁能想象，如今稍远些，有些个据说打完仗就没剩下几个青robust man 子的邻国，都纷纷安稳了，

不曾想他们这儿早前没怎么遭灾，只是在边境那边打了场仗，虽说死了不少边军，可国境之内到底保住了个太平世道，世道竟然反而乱了起来，可不就是个孤儿了。

这些年是怎么活下来的，谁在意呢。新坟头茫茫多，其实那都算好得了，例如被Yi Village 收纳的，好歹还有个睡处，至于那些solitary soul, unbound ghost ，甭管是怎么死的，当了鬼，也还是吃不上子孙饭的饿死鬼。但是little girl 别看瘦瘦的，力气倒是不小，最早会在县城那边打些短工，最后在一座卖香烛纸钱的铺子落了脚。

她一得空，就会在县城内外四处闲逛，估摸着是找她爹娘，最远就走到驿站这边，一个人等到天快黑，就回县城里边的铺子。

只是shopkeeper 嫌她的营生太过晦气，就只许她买酒，不许在酒桌这边落座，little girl 没说什么，每次都是这般规规矩矩的。

Wei Xian 听完过后就上心了。

去那香烛铺子收徒一事，异常顺利，Wei Xian 都没花银子，只是答应帮她找失散多年的爹娘就可以了。

原来在她四岁那年，child 的爹娘找了一处荒废破败大墓，有个如井口的口子，爹娘约莫是觉得一家人都肯定活不下去了，不愿小女孩饿死路上，沦为wild beast 食物，会骸骨裸露荒野，就狠下心，用一只篮子将她放入墓中，将身上仅剩食物都留给她。小女孩就独自待在墓中，结果等到几年后，她非但没有死在墓中，反而离开了那座大墓，就像一个child ，forcibly 从the gates of hell 爬回了World of Living 。之所以没有饿死，她倒是没有与认了Master 的Wei Xian 任何隐瞒，只说在她快饿死的时候，瞧见墓中有个大龟，每逢月光漏下来，它就会伸长脖子，好像在呼吸，就是慢些，她就跟着学了，学着学着就不那么饿了……

听得Chen Ping 一愣一愣的。

既辛酸又震惊。

要说奇人怪事，Chen Ping 还真没少见，以至于见着了所谓的山上神异，早已见怪不怪。

可这么一桩事，还真让Chen Ping 有点……惊着了。

Wei Xian 的这个dísciple ，must 见一见。

没有明师指点，没有Immortal Family Secret Manual ，没有获得任何heavenly materials earthly treasures ，小女孩还不识字，就这么全凭自己看了几眼传说中的龟息术，就走上了cultivation path 。

要是这不算天才，怎么才算？

按照Zhu Lian 的说法，Unrestrained Mountain 能收下这么个再传dísciple 辈分的修道天才，估摸着一半归功于Wei Xian 的master and disciple 缘分，一半归功于Unrestrained Mountain 的“功德福报”。

在崖畔驻足片刻，Chen Ping 回到bamboo house 住处，拿起那两本印谱，准备出门游历了。

这趟出远门，相对以往而言，其实不算远，很近了。

就只是去趟Aquarius Continent 东边的一个小国，办在清源郡仙游县的一个小dojo ，就只是找朋友喝酒去。

一个还能年轻的年轻Daoist ，一个已经不再大髯、也不再远游的大侠。宝刀未老人已老。

Chen Ping 腰悬双刀，叠放一侧。

是那两把狭刀，行刑，斩勘。

Chen Ping 没有直接controlling wind travelling far ，而是喊来小陌，两人徒步去了趟Mountain Sect 口，岑鸳机今天难得不在走桩练拳。

小米粒就在那边看门，坐在竹椅上。

好像手心偷偷攥着什么，一下子合掌，一下子摊开。

each minding their own business happily 。

黄帽青鞋的小陌，如今手里多出了一只竹箱，和一根行山杖。

Chen Ping 担心小米粒多想，再次承诺道：“我和小陌这趟出门，不会很久才回家的。”

小米粒使劲nodded ，一张小脸庞，写着一句话，好人山主说话要算数啊。

Chen Ping 摸了摸小米粒的脑袋，“作数作数。”

小米粒这才放下心，对小陌说道：“小陌Mister ，很书生哩。”

小陌蹲下身，单膝跪地，刚好与小米粒平视，微said with a smile ：“Right Protector ，有没有想要我帮忙捎带的东西？”

自家Young Master 的山头，气象万千，对于小陌而言，其实还好了，无需惊奇。

只是如何都没有想到，会见到小米粒和小暖树这样的little girl 。

一个是Unrestrained Mountain 的Right Protector ，Grand Virtue World 所谓的护山供奉。一个管着霁色峰Ancestral Hall 在内的所有钥匙。

小米粒连忙摆手，“么的么的，小陌Mister 千千absolutely 不要为我再花钱了啊。”

光是回礼一事，就已经让小米粒的脑瓜子不够用了，只得与暖树elder sister 、景清还有老厨子都问了一遍。

小陌神色温柔，“我不缺钱。”

小米粒摇头道：“那也是钱啊。谁挣钱都不容易唉。”

唉，年纪一大，个儿一高，她就不豪气喽。

遥想当年，在故乡哑巴湖那边，她可是从不把钱当钱的，好人山主可以帮忙作证！

————

此后一路，Chen Ping 都在演练that sword light 遁术，一旦精神不济，就转为更加熟稔轻松的云水身，只是御风速度就要慢上一大截，一旦疲惫不堪，就took out 符舟，或是让小陌按住肩头，拖拽远游，前者属于花钱看风景，后者纯属赶路，fast as lightning 。

清源郡仙游县的小dojo 。

里边有个逢拳必输Great Hero Xu 。

帮着两个早年在江湖上认识的朋友，都留了一间屋子，year after year ，亲自收拾得干干净净。

还说喝酒一事，每次就俩人，没啥滋味，得三个凑一堆，他要一挑二。

Xu Yuanxia 的dísciple 郭淳熙，受过情伤，成了个成天浸泡在酒缸里梦游的酒鬼，只是先前与周肥投缘，离乡一趟出门，如今unfathomable mystery 就成了真境宗次席供奉李芙蕖的dísciple ，从一个混吃等死的dojo dísciple ，开始登山cultivation 了。每隔半年，郭淳熙都会寄信回来，跟Master 报个平安。

白玄那child ，上次跟着Chen Ping 来这边做客，死皮赖脸跟dojo 求了个guest official 头衔。

Xu Yuanxia 也没当真，就当是child 的玩笑话，答应了。

dojo 这边还有走镖的挣钱营生。

dojo 门房，还是上次那个鸡同鸭讲的youngster ，还是郭淳熙的dísciple 。

瞧见了Chen Ping ，认得，是Hall Master Sect Founder 的那个江湖朋友，youngster 再没有像上次那么拦路，只说Hall Master 如今在外走镖，还有约莫两天才能回仙游县城。

Chen Ping 就与youngster 问了走镖路线，寻了一处街巷僻静处，施展水云身，去找dojo 的车队。

隐匿身形，controlling wind travelling far ，在一处寻常渡口的上空，Chen Ping 低头看了眼，停下脚步。

深秋时分，大多气象衰落，只是地上渡口那处附近，一年好景，橙黄橘绿时。

小陌瞥了眼，大致看出真相，好奇问道：“按照山上说法，是那山水精怪，依附贵人身边，翻山涉水，好躲着cultivation 劫数？”

Chen Ping nodded ，“差不离了。”

一些个修道有成的鬼物精怪，为了避开某些山上冥冥之中自有天意的刀兵劫数，就会寻找有福之人，作为避难之所。

否则大小city 内，有Civil and Military Temple City God Temple ，在外，犹有Mountain and Rivers Divine Spirit ，就像山中草寇，岂敢招摇过市？

不过这些是心知劫数已至，大难临头，不得已为之，必须寻一张protection talisman 。有些则是做买卖挣cultivation 了，因为每过一道有Spiritual God 把守关隘的山水境地，鬼魅阴灵和山泽精怪之属，就可以为自己增添一份无形道气，如同身上揣着一张illusory 的通关文牒，凭空多出了一道钤印盖章。

只是此举，也绝不是什么轻松事，有些地方上的Mountain and Rivers Divine Spirit ，不太Steward 还好，也就疏漏过去了，可一旦被某些mountain god 土地、祠庙水仙察觉此事，无异于挑衅，往往下场不会好到哪里去。

Chen Ping 停步，俯瞰渡口，就是为了确定那头鬼魅，是求活，还是求利。若是后者，那就真是命定劫数了。

因为渡口那边的鬼物，此时还不清楚，County City 那边的City God Temple ，已经察觉到它的踪迹了，很快就会赶来渡口这边兴师问罪。

会是City God 老爷亲临此地，身边还跟随一尊刚刚返回County City 禀报此事的Day Roaming God ，以及一位枷锁将军。

而且渡口那边，一位河伯已经在岸边守株待兔了。

渡口这边，晌午时分，大日照耀，有个女子撑伞而行，踩着一双绣花鞋，紧紧跟在一位进京赶考的士子身后，有意无意，刚好躲在scholar 的影子里。

那士子肯定有Juren 功名，因为身上有那一国Ministry of Rites 颁发的行书，故而身负一丝与Capital 遥遥牵连的文运。

小陌说道：“Young Master ，那撑伞女鬼，在忧心自己是否会牵连那个scholar ，还想着自己若是侥幸逃过this tribulation ，就要如何弥补那个书生的阳气损耗，想着找机会庇护他的子孙百年。”

Chen Ping 会心一笑，有小陌待在身边，确实可以省却不少事。

“小陌啊，我得怨你了，习惯了一起出门游历，以后怎么办，由奢入俭难啊。”

小陌说道：“只要Young Master 不嫌烦，不赶人，小陌可以次次陪伴Young Master 远游。”

Chen Ping 突然有些心中发毛，看了眼小陌。

他娘的，难not to become immortal 尉当时在小巷，并未看错小陌？

自己防来防去，何等辛苦，何其缜密，结果这种事情也能灯下黑？

小陌said with a smile ：“Young Master 放心，小陌有类似后世Dao Companion 身份的female cultivator ，只是她们的姿容气度，cultivation aptitude ，皆不如夫人万一。”

Chen Ping 笑容尴尬，“想啥呢，我怎么会误会小陌。”

小陌善解人意道：“是小陌误会了。”

“小陌，你去拦下City God 爷，可以亮明Great Li Dynasty 供奉身份，给他们看一下那块无事牌，渡口那边交给我处置。”

Chen Ping 悄然落下身形，走到那撑伞女鬼身边，双指并拢，轻轻抵住油纸伞，以心声said with a smile ：“姑娘如此取巧赶路，算不算有伤天理？身为见不得光的鬼物，随意踩踏阳人的影子，伤人元气于无形，就不怕凭空多出劫数加身，反受其咎？”

女鬼一张脸庞，异常雪白，转头望向那位azure clothes Sabrewielder ，她惊骇万分，颤声求饶道：“immortal master ，奴婢是有苦衷的，求求immortal master 发发善心，只要让奴婢过了这条河，就会立即离去，immortal master 的great kindness and virtue ，奴婢没齿难忘……”

言语之间，她从袖中摸出一只钱袋子，“十六颗Divine Immortal 钱，就是奴婢的全部积蓄了，只求immortal master 让奴婢只留下一颗，好赠予前边的那位恩公。”

她撑着的那把油纸伞，已经被那azure clothes Sabrewielder 以手指按住，她只得站在原地，前边的书生却浑然不觉，只是向前缓缓行走，等她那双绣花鞋，离开了书生的影子，霎时间地面滚烫犹如一座油锅，让她在World of Living 无立锥之地。

她花容失色，强忍着疼痛，只得抬起一脚，踩在另外一只绣花鞋上边。

撑伞女鬼在生死一线间，subconsciously 抬起眼帘，看了眼前边的书生背影，她有些神色恍惚，恋恋不舍，又释然一笑。

然后她就要啐那狗屁immortal master 一口，总要吐他一脸唾沫才甘心，再沦为对方一桩斩妖extinguish demons 的功德。

却见那位azure clothes 客laughed ，收起并拢双指，再轻轻一敲油纸伞，in an instant ，丝丝缕缕的金色丝线，如雨水沿着伞面倾泻而下，像是张开了一圈帘幕。

她如坠一处Immortal Family 清凉境地。

Chen Ping 递过去一摞黄玺talisman ，说道：“过河之后，与那书生报过恩，要是愿意的话，可以去一个叫Shujian Lake 的地方，找个叫曾掖的cultivator ，说不定你可以在那边cultivation 。这位山上Divine Immortal 不难找，你到了那边一问便知。要是你不愿远游，就随意了。”

方才生死一线，撑伞女鬼也没无杀心和暴虐气息，一点灵光，始终未被阴灵天生的戾气遮盖，这就是粹然Dao Heart 。

不然凭借小陌对其勘验心弦内容，这位女鬼，对错已分，善恶已明，Chen Ping 完全没有必要如此“overbearing ”。

撑伞女鬼狐疑不定。无缘无故的，一场strangers coming together by chance ，对方何必如此施恩？

只是再一想，自己这点微末cultivation ，何至于让眼前这位一手道法deep and unmeasurable 的immortal master ，如此plot against 陷害？

转念一想，她又有些揪心，莫不是对方垂涎自己的……美色？

Chen Ping 什么误会都扛得住，独独受不了这等冤枉，气said with a smile ：“赶紧跟随书生过河，少想些有的没的。”

女鬼也真的不敢多想什么了，trembling with fear 收起那摞Immortal Family talisman ，施了个万福，道谢一声，快步向前，走出几步后，竟然发现自己哪怕没有走在书生影子中，一样行走无碍，她忍不住停步转头问道：“敢问Divine Immortal 老爷的Dao Name 、Immortal Mansion ？”

那个多瞧几眼便有一身scholarly flavor 的azure clothes Sabrewielder ，却是摇头，“不用知道这些有的没的。”

她犹豫了一下，眼神坚定，“奴婢诚心恳请immortal master ，还是说一说Dao Name 。”

只见那人patted 腰间狭刀，said with a smile ：“我叫Chen Ping 。是一名剑客。”

既是学某人，与撑伞女鬼开了个不是玩笑的玩笑。

又是说给那位郡City God 爷听的，因为小陌那块Great Li Dynasty 刑部的末等无事牌，好像不是特别管用。

转身与驾云雾的City God 爷那边一cup one fist in the other hand ，便施展云水身，与小陌继续赶路。

那City God 爷与Day Roaming God 和枷锁将军两位佐吏，与那个自报名号的azure clothes 客恭敬还礼过后，City God 爷按下云头，来到岸边，让那本该拦路的河伯，只管为女鬼放行。

那河伯也是个犟的，即便见着了官场上司的一郡City God ，仍然非要问出个缘由，才肯让路，City God 爷心情极好，非但不恼火，反而与河伯说了，那位azure clothes Sword Immortal ，正是Great Li Dynasty 龙州Unrestrained Mountain 的年轻山主，Chen Ping ，a Sect’s Master 。

City God 调侃那位河伯，“天大架子了，竟然能让一位Sword Immortal 在此停步，不得不分出些自身功德，护送一位女鬼渡河。”

河伯心中得意万分，嘴上却说道：“一位Sword Immortal 的realm 大过天，也大不过卑职在此恪尽职守的道理。”

City God 呵呵一笑，所以这就是你在这边当河伯、我在County City 坐镇City God Temple 的理由了。

河伯突然问道：“真是那个Unrestrained Mountain 的陈Sword Immortal ？”

穷嘛，看不起illusion ，买不起山水邸报，山上消息，远远不如这位City God 爷灵通。只是在大小酒局上边听同僚和上官们经常提起，Great Li Dynasty 出了两个四十来岁的年轻Sword Immortal ，联手问剑一场，把Righteous Sun Mountain 的Ancestral Hall 都给拆掉了，尤其是其中那个surnamed Chen 的，脾气差得很，用剑剁掉了那位搬山Old Ancestor 的脑袋。

回头再看那位azure clothes Sabrewielder 的行事风格，好像与外界传闻不太像啊。莫不是City God 爷看走眼了？

City God nodded ，“做不得假，千真万确。”

河伯埋怨道：“City God 爷唉，既然如此，怎么不早说，我好与陈Sword Immortal 讨要一幅墨宝啊。”

City God 爷一瞪眼，“你不早说？！”

河伯不说话了，谁官大谁有理。

小陌跟着自家Young Master 一同controlling wind travelling far ，继续赶路，问道：“Young Master 以往出门游历，都是这样……？”

Chen Ping 笑着接话道：“爱管闲事？”

小陌笑着不说话。

Chen Ping 说道：“realm 一高Heaven and Earth 就小，好像山下都是些琐碎事。这么说也没错，只是你我的一个停步，些许光阴，相差不过是你陪着我乘坐符舟悠然看山河，与我被你拽肩赶路的一点区别。可是对于别人来说，可能就是生死，Great Dao ，跪在地上磕头求饶都避不开的劫数，是就此天各一方，还是love will find a way ……”

小陌说道：“Young Master 传道法，小陌受教了。”

Chen Ping 忍了又忍。

小陌说道：“听朱老Mister 说，Unrestrained Mountain 的风气由来，归功于Young Master 的正本清源，以身作则。”

Chen Ping 扯了扯嘴角，“胡说八道，跟我没有一颗铜钱的关系。”

小陌感叹道：“Young Master 真是虚怀若谷。”

山间道路蜿蜒如蛇，崎岖难行，一支车队，皆是矮马。

一个眉发皆白的老人，骑马佩刀，估计是出门在外，老镖师就没怎么刮胡子。

与一个年轻Daoist 并驾齐驱。

山路拐弯处，缓缓走出一个腰间叠双刀的azure clothes 客，said with a smile ：“打劫。”

他身后站着个书生模样的youngster 。

老人said with a laugh ：“山峰，一看就是个不劫财只劫色的，只能委屈你了。”

年轻Daoist 笑hehe 道：“还是Brother Xu 你英俊些，不总说相貌一事，我和Chen Ping 加一起，都不够看？”

两人翻身下马，与那人相对而行。

dojo 镖师，只见那个azure clothes Sabrewielder ，快步而行，举起双手，分别与Xu Yuanxia 和Zhang Shanfeng 握住手。

他们大多认识此人，surnamed Chen 。是老Hall Master 的朋友。

也不知怎么回事，那个azure clothed man ，竟然徒步行走，为Hall Master 牵马而行，talking and laughing 。

下了山，路过一处Inn ，四人坐在一张桌上，Hall Master 破例，不但自己在走镖的时候喝了酒，还准许所有dojo dísciple 得以饮酒一碗。

奇了怪了，Hall Master 真不怕半路出事情吗？

Chen Ping 端起酒碗，抿了口酒，从袖子里摸出一本不厚的集子，said with a smile ：“翻翻看？”

Xu Yuanxia 擦了擦嘴角，定睛一看，赶紧擦了擦袖子，这才拿起，是一本苏子词集。

上次在酒桌上，自己提及此事，Chen Ping 这小子就开始boasting 皮不打草稿，说可以帮自己讨要一本有苏子题名的词集，甚至还可以帮自己的那部山水游记作序。 Xu Yuanxia cautiously 翻开一看，果真有苏子的题名，还有一方私人印章。还有一句“粗缯大布裹生涯，赠大髯knight-errant Xu Yuanxia ”，再加上年月落款。

Xu Yuanxia 满脸涨红，收入怀中，said with a laugh ：“smelly brat 模仿字迹还挺像，我就当是真的了。”

Chen Ping 端起酒碗，道：“回头帮你撰写序文一事，苏子也答应了。就等你写完，我再帮忙将手稿寄给苏子了。”

Xu Yuanxia 一脸怀疑。

Zhang Shanfeng 开始拱火，“愣着做什么，还不赶紧给我们陈大爷敬个酒？”

Chen Ping 继续说道：“我还有一幅苏子的字帖，不过这趟出门，忘了带在身上，如果想要，自己去Unrestrained Mountain 那边拿。”

Xu Yuanxia 伸出三根手指，晃了晃，“you brat 可以啊，就说了三句话，已经吹了三个牛皮。”

其实这些日子里，Xu Yuanxia 时不时就去dojo 附近的那座Immortal Family 山头闲逛，问些山上事。

所以Unrestrained Mountain 观礼Righteous Sun Mountain ，Central Plains 文庙议事，老人都是知道的。

每次都是缓缓登山，匆匆下山，回到家中，喝过了酒，醉醺醺睡去。

Xu Yuanxia 提起酒碗，跟Chen Ping 重重磕碰一下，said with a smile ：“要是忙，就不用跟我们回仙游县了，不差几顿酒，正事要紧。”

Chen Ping 嗤said with a smile ：“少在这边跟我装豪迈啊，我要真走了，你不得在Daoist Zhang 这边骂死我。”

Zhang Shanfeng 微笑nodded ，如今自己是Sea Gazing Realm 的Divine Immortal 了，在酒桌上被称呼一声daoist ，不过分。

Xu Yuanxia 刚转头望向那个黄帽青年，就后悔了，果然，这个负责帮忙倒酒的家伙，已经each minding their own business nodded ，只说了一句我走一个，一饮而尽。

这顿酒，先前但凡被敬酒，小陌都是二话不说，一大碗酒，肯定一口喝完，几次过后，就Xu Yuanxia 和Zhang Shanfeng 就都不敢怎么敬酒了，接着只要有那视线交汇，就会被小陌当做是被劝酒了，还是一口闷了。

酒桌上就怕这种英雄啊，酒品很好，结果酒量比酒品更好。

何况小陌还极有分寸，次次都让Great Hero Xu 意思一下就成，要是Xu Yuanxia 一口喝完，小陌就给自己再倒两大碗，导致Xu Yuanxia 是敬酒也不是，喝酒也不是，每次在小陌这边，只能真的随意了，总之就是……挺开心的。所以Xu Yuanxia 其实没怎么多喝，就是举起酒碗的次数不少，一来二去，反正就像是一场开怀痛饮了。

此后一路返回仙游县，得知Chen Ping 这家伙竟然都要去Tree Leaf Continent 创建lower sect 了，Xu Yuanxia 就忍不住让Chen Ping 赶紧滚蛋。

Chen Ping 都懒得搭理他，坐在马背上，双手笼袖，肩头摇晃，腰叠双刀，只是悠哉悠哉的，跟Zhang Shanfeng 随便闲聊，双方已经约好了一起去Tree Leaf Continent ，Zhang Shanfeng 就问Xu Yuanxia 气不气气不气？没法子啊，某些人上了岁数，腿脚不灵光了，走走镖没问题，即便咬咬牙，学青robust man 子游历江湖，喝那花酒，见着了漂亮女子，都是有心杀贼却无力擒贼喽。

把Xu Yuanxia 气得不轻。

这一路返回清源郡内，Xu Yuanxia 跟沿途官府、驿站或是Jianghu Sect ，打点关系，偶尔也会历练dísciple 。

不知为何，小陌总觉得自家Young Master ，跟在Unrestrained Mountain 上判若两人，会lazily 的，晒着太阳，喝着小酒，偶尔吹着口哨，好像是支乡谣的调子。

到了仙游县城的dojo ，小陌愈发大开眼界，竟然是自家Young Master 亲自下厨，做了一桌菜。

Xu Yuanxia 就双臂环胸，斜靠灶房门，笑看着两个old friend 和一个新朋友，在那边忙碌来忙碌去。

今天喝酒，只算小酌。

到了Zhang Shanfeng 的屋子，Chen Ping 一步抢先，翻开一本书，带画的，tsk tsk 不已。

Zhang Shanfeng 埋怨道：“Brother Xu ，我一个Daoist ，你在桌上放这些书，到底几个意思？！”

Xu Yuanxia 呵呵一笑，“约莫是书本长脚，自己偷摸进来的，与我无关。”

晚上还有一顿宵夜，Xu Yuanxia 拉着三人离开dojo ，找了个开在陋巷里边的小馆子，这顿酒Chen Ping 跟Zhang Shanfeng 敞开了喝，就像起了内讧。

2nd day 拂晓时分，Chen Ping 揉了揉额头，都不知道自己是怎么回的dojo 。

起床后，推开门走出去，没走几步路，发现小陌蹲在Martial Practice Stage 旁边的台阶上，看着Xu Yuanxia 在教徒子徒孙们练拳走桩。

Zhang Shanfeng 这个傻了吧唧的，竟然端着一碗酒水在旁，正在那儿用喝酒解酒还魂呢。

Xu Yuanxia 朝Chen Ping 招手道：“过来，教几手拳桩拳招。”

dojo disciples ，齐刷刷望向那个被Hall Master 说得很玄乎的Young Master Chen 。

白簪azure clothes ，脚踩一双千层底黑布鞋。

他们不得不承认，模样是has several points of 周正的，至于拳脚ability 嘛，既然是自家Hall Master 的江湖朋友，高低有数。

Hall Master 为何在江湖上、尤其是同行里边的口碑那么好？还不是输拳输出来的Burning Incense 情？

要不是Hall Master 确实为人厚道，顿顿饭菜油水足够，从不拖欠薪水工钱，否则还真留不住几个人。

方才那个Daoist Zhang 就已经被Hall Master 拉壮丁，传授了一套拳法，好家伙，估摸着是真没醒酒，软绵绵的，在那儿画圈圈呢。

所以他们对这个常走江湖的Young Master Chen ，不抱太大希望。

Chen Ping laughed ，扯起azure clothes 长褂一角，系在腰间，来到Xu Yuanxia 身边，背对dojo dísciple ，先走了一趟Shaking Mountain Fist 的六步走桩。

身后青壮youngsters 对视一眼。

这就对了，不愧是自家Hall Master 的朋友。

小陌laughed 。

一身拳意如山水、Heaven and Earth 两相接。

鱼虹、周海镜之流的Ninth Realm Martial Artist ，有幸对上自家Young Master ，就是一拳事。

Xu Yuanxia 坐在小陌身边，轻声said with a smile ：“这帮little bastard ，哪里看得出深浅，让小陌laugh 。”

小陌摇头道：“各有高低，各有见闻。”

Xu Yuanxia 聚音成线，说道：“这一路有劳小陌了。”

Chen Ping 是怎么样个人，再清楚不过，出门来找自己和Zhang Shanfeng 喝酒，要不是受了重伤，绝不会带人同行。

Xu Yuanxia 看着Martial Practice Stage 上，那个拳脚越来越快的azure clothes silhouette ，微said with a smile ：“我也就是年纪大了，要是早个十几二十年，肯定要跟小陌喝个不醉不归。”

小陌轻声道：“在Young Master 眼里，Great Hero Xu 可能真的不算如何年轻了，但是相信在Young Master 心里，Great Hero Xu 会一直是那个走在wind and rain 里的大髯豪侠。”

老人揉了揉下巴，said with a smile ：“有理。”

此后Chen Ping 在dojo 接连住了三天。最后是Xu Yuanxia 赶人了，笑骂Chen Ping 和Zhang Shanfeng 两个缺心眼的bastard 蛋，是在这边混吃混喝不说，还要眼巴巴等着自己死了好分家产吗？

the past few days Chen Ping 都会教拳和喂拳，dojo disciples 终于后知后觉，对其印象大为改观，才相信这个Young Master Chen ，真是个expert ，估计至少能打两个Hall Master 。

要是在县城这边开dojo ，生意肯定不差，尤其是女disciple ，绝对少不了。

这天清晨蹲在台阶上，Chen Ping 一边揉着眉心，一边端着酒碗，看着Zhang Shanfeng 在那边教拳，那些dojo disciples 出拳别扭，一个个憋着笑，Chen Ping 也忍着笑。

动身赶路之前，Xu Yuanxia 突然提了个要求，让Chen Ping 帮忙写个大堂匾额，还说口气大些，得有气魄。

准备好了笔墨纸砚，小陌在旁研墨，Chen Ping 提笔写下四个榜书大字，落款是Unrestrained Mountain Chen Ping ，还取出一方私人印章，钤印其上，Chen Eleven 。

Chen Ping 将笔搁放在笔架上，转头望向Xu Yuanxia ，said with a smile ：“要是还觉得不够imposing manner ，我可以将那个一改成九。”

Xu Yuanxia 放声大笑，说差不多了，不然屁大dojo ，压不住。

匾额榜书四字，拳镇一洲。

Xu Yuanxia 一路送到了县城外，毫不拖泥带水，cup one fist in the other hand 为三人奉送四字，一路好走。

————

到了槐黄县城，Zhang Shanfeng 没有跟着Chen Ping 住在山上，而是在Dragon Riding Alley Grass Head Shop 那边落脚住下了，跟贾老Divine Immortal ，陈灵均，还有个叫仙尉的年轻Daoist ，美其名曰要为他接风洗尘，又是一顿酒喝了个昏天暗地。然后Zhang Shanfeng 偷偷摸摸让陈灵均带路，说要去趟Iron Mark River 的水神Empress 庙，陈灵均挤眉弄眼，心领神会，那儿的姻缘签，极其灵验！只是问题在于那位水神Empress 已经搬家了，这点小事，难不住陈大爷，带着去了龙州别处的一座mountain god 庙，一样灵光。仙尉at first 听说是去Iron Mark River 水神庙，就要跟着，等到再听说去某个mountain god 老爷那边烧香，他就不乐意去了。

Chen Ping 独自走了一趟Mud Bottle Alley ，先翻墙而入，落在Song Jixin 宅子院内，这种事情，是Chen Ping 第一次做。

再施展水云身，进入Song Jixin 的书房，都不用如何翻箱倒柜，就在一只摆放在书架上的清供瓷瓶中，打开一层mysterious 隐蔽却不难开门的山水禁制，最终被Chen Ping 找到了一片碎瓷，于此之外，还有Great Li Dynasty 太后南簪留下的几页泛黄纸张，是出自三山九侯Mister 的道诀残篇。

然后来到自家祖宅门口，Chen Ping 蹲下身挖开泥土，取出一只埋藏小巷多年的胭脂盒。

再去一处deserted 的荒郊野岭，找到了一座没有立碑的small burial mountain 。

这些都是封姨之前在火神庙那边，告诉他的内幕。

坟上有石头压着已经泛白的红纸，估摸着今年清明时分有人上坟，之后一场场雨水落在这边。

而且小坟一样有年年添土的迹象。

Chen Ping 蹲下身，取出两壶酒，一Hu Family 乡的糯米酒酿，一壶是是山上的三更酒，都倒在small burial mountain 前。

徒步走出很远后，Chen Ping 回望一眼，就此御风离开。

在夜幕中，Chen Ping 搬了条小板凳，坐在一座dragon kiln 的窑头附近，独自坐了一宿到天明。

龙州，已经正式改名为处州了。

官员调动不可谓不频繁，就像那个历史悠久的窑务督造衙署，更是早就换了个新督造，是个来自Capital 的世族子弟，不过好像越想有所作为，越无所作为，比曹耕心这个酒鬼的官场cultivation ，差了不是一点半点。

小陌赠送的月宫遗址，来自一轮皓彩明月，就像一座古老另类的避暑行宫。

Chen Ping 已经事先跟小陌打声招呼，会将这份礼物，转赠Liu Xianyang 。小陌最好说话，对此当然无所谓。

Chen Ping 等到天亮后，就收起板凳，返回Unrestrained Mountain 。

先前那场Righteous Sun Mountain 观礼，Chen Ping 托关翳然给巡狩使曹枰送去一封密信，收到信后，曹枰就不再参加庆典，直接走了。

等于是Unrestrained Mountain 与Upper Pillar Country Cao Clan 的一桩三百年盟约，都不用Chen Ping 与曹枰见面，更无需将那份契约落在纸面，不用什么黑纸白字，就只是一场双方心有默契的君子之约。

Unrestrained Mountain 会护住Cao Clan Burning Incense ，不会出现“某些”最坏的结果。对此双方心知肚明，所谓的意外，不是Cao Clan 失去世袭罔替的Upper Pillar Country 身份，而是真正意义上的那种家破人亡，Burning Incense 断绝。虽说这种可能极小，但是Chen Ping 在信上以此开头，反而更显诚意。

之后就是Cao Family 在三百年之内，可以往Unrestrained Mountain 送来纯粹Martial Artist 或是修道胚子，在山中安心cultivation ，Unrestrained Mountain 会悉心栽培。若是此事太过显露痕迹，容易被Song Clan Imperial Court 忌惮，Chen Ping 还可以将那些人选，秘密送往北Entirely Reed Continent 的太徽Sword Sect 等几个地方，或是Southern Whirling Continent 那边的龙象Sword Sect 。

曹枰很快就让Chen Ping 感觉到了Cao Clan 行事的swift and decisive 。

因为Cao Clan 已经给Unrestrained Mountain 悄悄送来了两人，两个surnamed Cao 子弟，一双少年少女。

少年曹荫，字凤生，是Cao Clan 旁支子弟，是个sword cultivator 胚子，少女是赐姓，surnamed Cao 名鸯，小名梧桐，如今她已是Fourth Realm Martial Artist ，底子打熬得还算不错。

按照世族豪门的规矩，少女就是曹荫的侍女兼任死士了。

两人被Zhu Lian 安置在了Unrestrained Mountain 的mountainside 一处府邸中。

Cui Dongshan 指点过少年曹荫的cultivation ，还给了几本山上Secret Manual 。至于曹鸯，之前Sui Youbian 和Pei Qian 都教过她几次拳。

Chen Ping 本想自己去那边宅子，见两人一面聊几句，犹豫了一下，还是让陈灵均去喊他们过来，约在崖畔石桌那边见面。

少年少女一起赶往前山。

他们先见bamboo house ，再见一袭azure clothes ，站在崖畔，风采如神。

那人笑望向他们，nodded 致意。

曹荫快步向前，少女跟随其后。

少年作揖行礼，“曹荫拜见山主。”

少女站在曹荫身后一步外，她只是低头弯腰，cup hand to hold fist ，与这位renowned 的Sect Master senior ，久久没有起身，出于一些不成文的高sect rules 矩，她谨守本分，没有自报名号。

眼前azure clothes 。

是一个四十来岁的Upper Five Realms Sword Immortal 。

还是一位已经站在人间之巅的End Boundary Martial Artist 。

Chen Ping 伸出一手，said with a smile ：“曹荫，曹鸯，都坐。”

一双好似璧人的少年少女，先后落座。

Chen Ping 坐下后，问道：“在山中还住得习惯？”

曹荫少年老成，性情沉稳，一板一眼答道：“回山主话，住得惯，不能再好了。”

Chen Ping said with a smile ：“在Unrestrained Mountain ，你们不用太过拘谨，平时cultivation 练拳之余，可以随便走走看看。”

少女是学拳martial practitioner ，面对这位End Boundary Martial Artist ，其实要比曹荫，更加心怀敬畏。

奉若神明。

故而今天她与Chen Ping 见面，就像与一位在世神明恭谨敬香。

先前听说要来见这位山主，曹鸯其实整个人都懵了，脑子一团浆糊。

要不是从mountainside 来bamboo house 崖畔这边，还有一大段山路要走，可以让她赶紧平复心情，估计到了这边就要问答失仪了。

Chen Ping 没有跟他们多聊什么，在他们离开后，犹豫了一下，还是让掌律长命，将待在藕花blessed land 的Pei Qian 喊回Unrestrained Mountain ，说自己在bamboo house 二楼等她。

走上楼梯，来到二楼廊道，Chen Ping 坐在门口那边，脱了布鞋，放在门外。

已经察觉到了Pei Qian 的异样，之前Unrestrained Mountain 观礼Righteous Sun Mountain ，Pei Qian 说了句，回了Unrestrained Mountain 就破境，结果一拖再拖。

虽说距离那次，其实时日不久，但是Chen Ping 不敢有丝毫的掉以轻心。

身为纯粹Martial Artist ，竟然在压境。

一个Ninth Realm Martial Artist ，已经可以打破bottleneck 却故意压制，一着不慎，是会有大隐患的。

谁借你的胆子？

我这个Master 吗？

Chen Ping 走入屋内，空无一物，开始闭目养神。

昔年单独游历北Entirely Reed Continent ，unfathomable mystery 被问拳一场，Chen Ping 当时差点误以为自己会死。

不分青红皂白就与自己问拳之人，竟然是那个在在洒扫山庄更换姓名的old steward ，吴逢甲，真名顾祐，大篆王朝native 。

昔年北Entirely Reed Continent 三位本土End Boundary Martial Artist 之一，曾以双拳打散王朝藩属十数国immortal master ，悉数被这位纯粹Martial Artist singlehanded ，驱逐出境。

顾祐更是Shaking Mountain Fist 的Ancestral Master 。

当年自己接拳之时，Shaking Mountain Fist 走桩递拳，将近1,6 million 拳。

顾祐当时为了试探自己的深浅，出拳很重，道理更重。

老人曾言死万千拳法，活出一种拳意，才是真正的练拳。

当然顾祐还说了一句很符合Shaking Mountain Fist Sect Founder 、与End Boundary Martial Artist realm 的豪言。

大致意思是他不说崔诚拳法高低，喂拳ability 实在一般，换成是他，可以保证Chen Ping 境境最强！

Chen Ping 收起思绪，睁开眼睛。

Pei Qian 来了。

她在门口那边脱了靴子，犹犹豫豫走入屋子。

Chen Ping 卷起袖子，said solemnly ：“我不压境，分出胜负。”

Pei Qian 默不作声，completely motionless 。

Chen Ping 与当年顾祐与自己问拳，如出一辙，双膝微曲，拧转手腕，一拳朝己，一拳递前，缓缓道：“我以Shaking Mountain Fist 与你问拳。”

Pei Qian 有些神色慌张，怔怔看着自己的Master 。

这个最熟悉的Master ，让她感到有些陌生了。

Chen Ping 怒道：“Pei Qian ，要是与人对敌，你这会儿已经死了！”

Pei Qian 就是不说话，她身上也无拳意聚拢。

Chen Ping 一蹬地，快若奔雷，整座bamboo house 随之震动不已，一拳已至Pei Qian 面门。

Pei Qian 只是后撤两步，背靠墙壁，Chen Ping 差点就一拳打在她额头上，强行收拳，又气又笑，最后便只剩下心疼，无奈道：“算了。”

Pei Qian 咧嘴一笑。

Chen Ping 双指弯曲，一个板栗打得Pei Qian 抱头。

见Master 已经走向门口那边，坐下穿布鞋，Pei Qian 一下子轻松了，eagerly 跟着Master 坐下，小声said with a smile ：“Master ，我是说实话啊，要是真分胜负，少则三拳，至多五拳，就可以结束了。”

Chen Ping said ill-humoredly ：“你也知道？”

azure clothes 长褂布鞋的老人，双膝微曲，手腕一拧，手掌握拳，缓缓递出向前，一手握拳，却是往回缩，“我Shaking Mountain Fist ，最重一拳对敌，一拳守心意，故而哪怕迎敌三Sect Founder ，只要拳意不散，人死犹可再出一拳！任你the immortal 术法Heavenspan ，山岳压我顶，我Shaking Mountain Fist ，开山便是！这是我顾祐Seventh Realm 之时，就有此悟，才能够写出这部Fist Manual 的序言，你Chen Ping 若想将来比我走到更高处，就当有此全然not knowing the immensity of Heaven and Earth 的大念头！”

大坑边缘，出现azure clothes 长褂布鞋，正是那位老Martial Artist 。

，吴逢甲，或者撇开横空出世的Li Er 不说，他就是北Entirely Reed Continent 三位本土Tenth Realm Martial Artist 之一，大篆王朝顾祐。

大篆王朝在内周边数国，为何只有一座弱势Nascent Soul 坐镇的金鳞宫？而金鳞宫又为何孱弱到会被浮萍剑湖荣畅，视为一座听也没听过的废物山头？

正是Martial Artist 顾祐，以双拳打散十数国山上Divine Immortal ，几乎悉数被此人驱逐出境。

顾祐曾言，Heaven and Earth is big ，Divine Immortal 滚蛋。

豪言须有壮举，才是真正的英雄。

老人蹲下身，said with a smile ：“我当然不叫什么吴逢甲，只是年少时行走江湖，一个已死侠客的名字that’s all 。他当年为了救下一个被车轮碾压的路边小乞儿，才会命丧当场。那个小cripple ，这辈子练拳不停，就是想要向这位life saving benefactor 证明一件事情，一位Fourth Realm Martial Artist 为了救下一个满身烂脓的孤儿，搭上自己的性命，这件事，值得！”

顾祐的那个化名，其实是别人的名字，只是一个走江湖的Fourth Realm Martial Artist ，为了救下一个路边乞儿，死了。

所以顾祐在成名之后，只要是出门在外，与山巅Martial Artist 问拳切磋，都用此名。就为了证明一事，当年那个Fourth Realm Martial Artist ，为了个满身烂脓的child ，搭上了性命，没有那么……不值得！

Chen Ping 站在栏杆那边，转头遥遥望向小镇。

就像Mr. Qi 护住一座Black Pearl Paradise 。每一位小镇年轻一辈的成长，都可以多证明一分，此事没有那么不值得。

很多的少年意气，总觉得Heaven and Earth is big ，都是我的，只敢看我要不要而已。

只是成年之后，豪言须有壮举，才算真正的英雄。

所以文庙议事，两座天下对峙期间，一袭azure clothes ，说打就打。

那么Great Wall of Sword Qi 的末代隐官，绝不会因为返回Grand Virtue World ，就会只说些站着说话不腰疼的轻巧话。

那我就去Wild Desolate World ，拖拽曳落河，打断仙簪城，剑斩托月山，手刃一头Ascension Realm Peak sword cultivator 的头颅。

Chen Ping patted Pei Qian 头顶的丸子发髻，轻声说道：“你回藕花blessed land 吧，明天就可以破境了。”

其实知道Pei Qian 为何must 如此压境。

是为了等某天的到来。

因为senior 崔诚就是在这一天走的。

老人在Southern Park Country Capital 的一座小寺，都没有交待任何遗言。

好像所有的道理，都在bamboo house 这边的一场场教拳喂拳中了。

Pei Qian nodded ，重新返回藕花blessed land 。

并没有直接去往Southern Park Country Capital ，而是选了一处僻静地界，她笔直一线降落身形，大地震动。

一路飞奔，逢水过水，逢山翻山，偶尔歇脚都是在水边，Pei Qian 就会抓几条鱼下锅炖，生火煮饭，鱼汤泡饭，确实有点咸了。

在夜幕中，逛过了熟悉又陌生的Southern Park Country Capital ，走过了大街小巷，看过了那两只蹲在门口的石狮子，最后来到Southern Park Country 那座Heart Appraisal Temple ，

Pei Qian 坐在台阶上，呆呆望向走廊一处。

她沉默许久。

等到天边泛起grey dawn ，一道身形，拔地而起，去往天幕。

请那负责看顾一座blessed land 的掌律长命，打开莲藕blessed land 的大门。

Pei Qian said solemnly ：“开门！”

浩然九洲的九股武运。

还有两股imposing manner 磅礴的武运，分别来自Wild Desolate World 和Azure Nether World ，一起涌向Unrestrained Mountain ，涌入藕花blessed land 。

被Pei Qian 以Deity Beating Drums Form one after another 打碎。

一座blessed land 天下，武运如磅礴雨，落向人间。

天边的blessed land 门口附近，Chen Ping 双手笼袖，身边是一袭雪白长袍的掌律长命。

长命said with a smile ：“Pei Qian 的Martial Dao 破境，真是不讲道理。”

Chen Ping 一脸无所谓道：“不奇怪，毕竟是我的开山Head Disciple 嘛。”

长命眼角余光瞥见这位年轻山主，故意说着casually 的言语，可是眉眼间的那份笑意，就像是个“我闺女是天底下最优秀的，这种事情还需要说吗”的老father 。

掌律长命jokingly said ：“以后大半夜套麻袋，山主可以喊上我。”

Chen Ping nodded with a smile ，“when the time comes 你得拦着我，注意踹人的的力道。”

————

一行三人，逛过了Red Light Town ，Chen Ping 在书铺那边跟shopkeeper 李锦买了几本书。

今天小米粒没带那条金扁担，也没拿Azure Bamboo 杖，只是斜挎布包。

在山路上，小米粒走在最前边，双指捻住一颗金瓜子，raised high ，摇头晃脑，百看不厌。

暮色里，水神祠庙就要关门了。

换了庙祝，以前是个old woman ，如今是个朴实妇人。

Chen Ping 见着那个眉眼依稀has several points of 熟悉的妇人，就didn’t know whether to cry or laugh 。

这个Aqueous Jade River 水神Empress ，真是无所不用其极了。

眼前这个担任新任庙祝的妇人，他还真认识，其实还是个peers ，比Chen Ping 稍大个两三岁。

因为是槐黄县城的小镇本地人，姓卢，不过跟Good Fortune Street Lu Clan 关系早就疏远了，都攀不上什么亲戚，

她所嫁之人，也是家乡人，在dragon kiln 当窑工，只是与Chen Ping 当学徒的那座窑口离着远，她们家早年卖了宅子，举家搬去了州城，过上了以前想都不敢想的富裕日子。

那妇人有些不确定，脸上has several points of 喜悦，试探性开口问道：“是Mud Bottle Alley 那边的陈……平安？”

前些年，约莫是祖上积德，她竟然被水神Empress 相中，当了这Aqueous Jade River 水神庙的庙祝，就是半个山上人了，虽然不曾cultivation Immortal Technique ，但是也见识好些个Divine Immortal 老爷了，有官帽子的显贵，穿金戴玉的妇人，更是不少，有两个还是传说中的诰命夫人呢。

at first 确实让她雀跃不已，后来妇人都不稀罕去龙州城那边显摆了。

男人每次出门喝酒，都会喝个red light 满脸，说自己福气好，讨个光耀门楣的媳妇，你半点不比那个Mud Bottle Alley 的顾家寡妇差了。

呵，如今自己那个就没读过书的男人，都会学秀才拽文，好似从酸菜缸里拎出一串串四个字的言语呢。

Chen Ping nodded with a smile ，喊出了对方的名字，“艳梅，是很多年没见面了，之前只听说你们家搬去了龙州城，didn’t expect 你在这边。”

以前小镇当地人，嫁娶都颇早，好些女子十四五岁就会嫁人了。

她问道：“Chen Ping ，这个是你闺女？”

她在当庙祝之前，关于眼前这个Mud Bottle Alley 的孤儿，只听说些真真假假说不准的零碎消息，有说Chen Ping 早年在不当窑工学徒后，好像通过朋友Liu Xianyang ，认识了那个外乡人的铁匠Master Ruan ，不知怎么挣着了第一笔钱，花钱买下了西边的几座山头，算是发迹了。

后来不知怎么，又入了Draping Clouds Mountain 那位mountain god 老爷的法眼，就更阔绰了。

Chen Ping 哑然失笑，这事闹的，就只好摸了摸小米粒的脑袋。

小米粒掩嘴而笑，一双眼眸眯起月牙儿，这个从天上掉下来的新头衔，咱不承认不否认哈。

妇人问道：“你们是来这边烧香？”

Chen Ping said with a smile ：“得劳烦你Flying Sword 传信Aqueous Jade River 水府，我找叶Azure Bamboo 有事。”

妇人有些惊讶，犹豫了一下，persuaded ：“Chen Ping ，我如今还算管着事，可以took out 些talisman 车驾，帮你辟水远游去往水府。”

虽说如今Chen Ping 肯定混得不差，都能与Northern Mountain 山君合伙做买卖了，那座财运滚滚的牛角渡，听说Chen Ping 是有分账的。

但是山水官场，忌讳多，讲究多，何况自家那位水神Empress ，按照昔年Great Li Dynasty Imperial Court 颁布一洲的Gold Jade 谱牒，从四品，很高了。

也就是龙州地界，才unremarkable ，不然搁在藩属小国的山水官场，那可是实打实的一方封疆大吏了。

那个男人还是坚持己见，“只管传信水府，我就在这边等着水神Empress 。”

妇人有些失落。

以前的Mud Bottle Alley 少年，好像不是这样的。

Chen Ping 也不好解释什么，若是自己直接去水府，她这个庙祝就白当了。

可如果让她Flying Sword 传信，叶Azure Bamboo 就得念她的情，这位水神Empress 会觉得没白请你当庙祝。

Chen Ping 坐在水神庙门外的台阶上。

小米粒挠挠脸，耷拉着脑袋，无精打采的。

总觉得又给好人山主添麻烦了。

她其实at first ，就只是想着在Red Light Town 那边耍一耍，就可以打道回府。

但是好人山主只是摇头不答应，她总不能再像当年那样抱住他的腿不让走吧，小陌Mister 就在旁边呢。

小陌没有坐在Chen Ping 身边，而是坐在了最右边。

如此一来，小米粒就坐在了中间。

江面上，水雾升腾，水神Empress 叶Azure Bamboo 是单独赶来自家祠庙，她脸色微白，无法掩饰的神色仓皇。

尤其是当她瞧见了自家祠庙门口，那个坐在台阶上的azure clothed man ，就更背脊发凉了。

叶Azure Bamboo 强颜欢笑，对那庙祝妇人说道：“你先回里边去，我要与陈Mister 谈事。”

庙祝妇人，一头雾水，聊事情，why not 去祠庙里边聊？不得讲究几分待客之道？自己也好备些酒水蔬果。

只是她哪敢忤逆水神Empress ，返回祠庙里边，跨过门槛后，她悄悄回头，看了眼那一袭azure clothes 的背影。

妇人一时间又有些失落。

这么多年，她偶尔想着，哪天与那个曾经的Mud Bottle Alley 少年重逢了，对方会不会感到有些……遗憾呢？

只是她这些小心思，在心湖那边念起就落下了，到最后，还是has several points of 担心，还has several points of 放心。

当年那个Mud Bottle Alley 的peers ，约莫是真的好心有好报，总算不用把日子过得那么苦了。

因为妇人还是未嫁少女时，曾经跟mother 在灯下，娘俩一边缝补衣物，一边闲聊家长里短。

都是些鸡毛蒜皮，说着说着，不知怎么就说到了那个当了窑工学徒的少年，他经常会帮她们家做些庄稼活，每次都是主动开口，或是比如农忙时，他就会“偶然”路过田地。而且她们家的稻田，抢水的时节，总是不愁没水。一般人家，晚上去田边两趟就算顶天了，但是独独有个人，不是这样的，经常一整宿，就待在田垄那边。

之所以会这样，好像是只因为少女的mother ，曾经去Mud Bottle Alley 那边，帮忙办了两场白事。其实在小镇，街坊邻居，只要是没结仇的，往往都会能帮就帮。

Old Lady 说Mud Bottle Alley surnamed Chen 的那么一家人，都是好人。还说那么个好child ，不该过得那么苦。

那夜闲聊，mother 最后一句话，让妇人记忆犹新，那child 苦得苦水都苦没了，所以在咱们这些外人这边，才会一直笑脸。

家乡小镇有句俗语，叫“从不德杀人”。是说一个人，极有礼数，从不说是非。

Chen Ping 坐在台阶上，看着那个叶Azure Bamboo 。

叶Azure Bamboo 恨不得挖个地洞钻下去，那位Unrestrained Mountain 的隐官大人坐着，自己站着，岂不是显得居高临下？可自己总不能就一屁股坐在地上吧。

几乎同时跟小陌抬头，望向Unrestrained Mountain 上方的天幕处，有一道纤细sword light 落下。

Chen Ping 站起身，不等他说话，叶Azure Bamboo 就subconsciously 后退一步，Chen Ping said with a smile ：“没事，今夜就是来见见水神Empress ，邻居多年，都没登门，不合礼数，回头去我们Unrestrained Mountain 做客，我再尽一尽地主之谊，请水神Empress 喝酒。”

叶Azure Bamboo 很想说我不去。

但她还是默默nodded 。

其实Chen Ping 也没真想把她和水府怎么着。

归根结底，还是得看小米粒的意思。而这一路走来水神祠庙，小米粒始终微frowns ，一直想要说什么又不知道说什么，就是答案了。

Chen Ping cup one fist in the other hand 告别。

叶Azure Bamboo 赶紧施了个万福，没死不说，还没被打。

看来自己偷偷去别的祠庙烧香祈福，还是有用的。

至于去Unrestrained Mountain 做客一事，简单得很，拖字诀！

小陌忍俊不禁，这位水神Empress 混到这个份上，大概是真知道苦头的滋味了。

原路返回，去往Red Light Town ，Chen Ping 笑了起来。

是Ning Yao 返回Ascend City 后，竟然让郭竹酒来Grand Virtue World 这边了。

Chen Ping 摸了摸小米粒的脑袋，问道：“下次你看门，水神Empress 来做客，怎么办？”

小米粒甩着两条小胳膊，笑haha ，“我胆儿可大，就算只有一个人在门口，都么的事，还要请水神Empress 喝茶嘞。”

Chen Ping 笑问道：“那有没有瓜子待客？”

小米粒frowned ，立即就laughed 了，“想啥呢，我气性可长，一颗瓜子都不给的。”

Chen Ping said with a smile ：“这么记仇啊？”

小米粒蹦蹦跳跳，摇晃着脑袋，ao wu 一声，哑巴湖的大水怪，我可凶。

Unrestrained Mountain bamboo house 那边，赶来一大堆凑热闹的人，只有Pei Qian 最呆滞无言。

郭竹酒一样眨眼睛，不好，Big Senior Sister 如今个子不矮了啊。

白玄立即以心声与这个自称是隐官dísciple 的家伙言语一番，说得请你郭竹酒帮个忙，帮自己跟Pei Qian 当个和事佬，只要事成，必有厚报。

郭竹酒nodded 答应了，小事一桩。

她一个脚尖点地，身形向前跃出，在空中递出一只手掌，Pei Qian 脸色尴尬，动作僵硬地抬起手掌，所以双方擦肩而过的时候，轻轻击掌一次。

少女的身形落在Pei Qian 身后，站在原地不动，背对着Pei Qian said solemnly ：“Big Senior Sister ，卖我一个面子，你与白玄的恩怨一笔勾销了，如何？”

Pei Qian 收起手掌，揉了揉额头，“好的好的。”

郭竹酒走到Pei Qian 身边，开始绕着Pei Qian 兜圈子，最后她伸手挡在嘴边，在Pei Qian 耳边小声whispered ：“Big Senior Sister 不小唉。”

Pei Qian rolled the eyes 。

白玄打定主意，自己以后就跟着那个郭竹酒混了。

什么Pei Qian ……

见那Pei Qian 又用那个招牌动作斜眼自己，白玄立即缩了缩脖子，抬头看月。

虽然已经知道郭竹酒来到Unrestrained Mountain ，Chen Ping 却没有立即返回，而是让小陌带着小米粒先回，自己单独去往小镇。

走在Mud Bottle Alley 中，Chen Ping alone ，没有在自家祖宅那边停步，而是一直走到了顾家祖宅。

曾经有个还不是妇人的年轻女子，一家三口住在这边，她爹娘逝世后，就嫁给了个姓顾的外乡人。

所以后来，她克死了男人，成了个寡妇，小镇很多人都说是怪她自己，因为被那个两家宅子离着不远的孤儿害了。

早年那个child 接连死了爹娘，她就该知道轻重的，竟然还敢那么帮忙操持白事，甚至还要守灵。

后来她带着child ，艰难生活，就又有人开始说怪话，说等着瞧吧，迟早连你顾家的那根独苗，都要被那个surnamed Chen 的克死了，早晚的事。

Chen Ping 双手笼袖，后退一步，背靠着墙壁，望向那座如今已经空无一人的老旧宅子。

有次大半夜，当时还没去当窑工学徒，睡眠浅的消瘦少年，立即就听到了巷子里边的声音。

外边有人似乎脚步匆匆，还摔了一跤，便有了撕心裂肺的哭腔，少年顾不得穿上草鞋，就光着脚跑了出去。

一摸那child 的滚烫额头，再摸脉象，少年哪怕只是粗通药理，也知道不妙。

先让那个只是哭的妇人，不担心，再从妇人手中接过child ，他抱着child 一路飞奔，跑向Yang Family Shop 。

双手抱着child 的少年，使劲用额头敲着Yang Family Shop 的大门，大半夜的，没有响应，满头汗水的少年就开始用脚踹。

终于让一个住在后院的老人，披衣开门，朝那个踹门震天响的少年，劈头盖脸骂了句没教养的东西，急着投胎？

可Grandfather Yang 最后还是救下了小Nasal Mucus Insect 。

后来认识了Liu Xianyang 。

顾璨是一个打小就性情凉薄的child ，这个小Nasal Mucus Insect ，养不熟的。

这甚至不是外人说的，而是Liu Xianyang 说的。

不过Liu Xianyang 也说，不管如何，顾璨独独对你，还是很念情的。

Chen Ping 闭上眼睛。

小时候，自己两次披麻戴孝，为爹娘送行，队伍里，都有那个年轻女子的silhouette 。

后来，还有她的那次开门。

不管她以后变成了什么样的人。

所以就算天塌下来。

都别想着顾璨死在我眼前。

我可以死，顾璨will not 死。

Chen Ping 双袖一震，直接化虹落在Yang Family Shop 的后院。

进入Li Huai 说的那间厢房，桌上只留下了一封信。

信上内容，就只有一句话。

民以食为天，你吃饱了吗？

Chen Ping 默不作声，只是将这封信收入袖中。

桌上还有一根崭新旱烟杆，和一袋子烟草。

Chen Ping 犹豫了一下，凭借记忆，点燃旱烟，结果只是一口，就被呛得不行，咳嗽不已。

屋内一时间烟雾缭绕。

并无异样，Chen Ping 又brace oneself 抽了一口旱烟，心绪起伏，诸多记忆，走马观花。

不知为何，in an instant ，Old Head Yang 的嗓音竟然在心湖间响起。

Chen Ping ，在你眼中的Shujian Lake 所有枉死之人，其实下场都很好，不但皆有今生或来世，而且都有额外的机缘与福报。

此事Cui Chan 早有安排，无一例外。

那些人在死前以及死后，Cui Chan 都见过聊过，各有所求，故而有些人的惨死，是障眼法，其实早就得了份钱财或是cultivation 机缘，有些人是甘愿一死，也要脱离Shujian Lake 这座Sea of Bitterness ，得到一个安稳的来世。

Cui Chan 曾经来此，与我解释此事，说他要让一个原本自认问心无愧的人，一辈子都要因此心怀大愧疚，要有大牵挂，不至于将来cultivation 登高，越来越不像个人，只因为觉得自己不曾亏欠这方Heaven and Earth 丝毫。所以他要在你的心坎上，砸出一个大坑，让你用一辈子去辛苦修补，要你这个从小就早慧的聪明人，偏要必须去庸人自扰。即便你此刻已经知晓真相，又如何？你依旧会带着那份挥之不去的愧疚，在人生路上继续走下去。

Chen Ping 最后离开屋子，手持旱烟杆，坐在檐下那条长凳上，翘起腿，眯起双眼，吞云吐雾。

Old Head Yang 的最后一句话，是那道之大原出于天，天不变，道亦不变，披星戴月，人间大美，此行走好，平平安安。
