Cui Dongshan alone, took the lead out of the thunder pool forbidden area created by golden sword qi.

Xiao Mo said: “There are no mistakes.”

Cui Dongshan nodded said with a smile: “Mister needs to retreat for a while, we will just wait.”

The white clothed youth embraced the back of his head with both hands, and the little Mo in the yellow hat and blue shoes held a green bamboo stick in his arms.

Cui Dongshan said in his heart: “Except for the most important thing, Mister will slightly refining the “Well in the Moon” to see if they can visualize a seat… The Heaven and Earth labyrinth, which may be outside. Xiandu Mountain may be a summer palace that no longer exists, or it may be Black Pearl Paradise in his hometown before falling to the ground. The more subtle Mister understands the’maze’, the closer to the’truth’, so if this happens, Mister is equivalent to letting this Life-Source Flying Sword in addition to the number, mastering the second’evolution’ divine ability, and with the caged finches that form the Small World, it can be more foolproof.”

Xiao Mo was a little puzzled, and asked: “Dare to ask Sect Master Cui, why isn’t Young Master using Jing Zhongyue to cooperate with the caged bird?”

Cui Dongshan laughed blankly, “Everything is difficult at the beginning, from zero to one, and from one to ten, the former is always more difficult to think of and do. Besides, I said, Mister’s pursuit is’truth’, not an illusion. Therefore, every person, thing, and thing that evolved from the “well in the moon” is almost real, and it’s already very difficult.”

Xiao Mo knows at one point, nodded and said: “In this way, it is indeed tantamount to heavenly ascension.”

Chen Ping’s inspiration came from the Central Plains Confucian Temple proceedings, Li Baoping’s gestures, “Dao gave birth to One, One gave birth to Two, Three Births Myriad Things”. And later asked the sword with the culprit of Tuoyueshan, the dense corridor created by the latter. Chen Ping was next to the waterless pond behind the Unrestrained Mountain bamboo house. He remembered the Buddhist saying, “Like a lotus flower that does not touch the water, and the sun and the moon do not stay empty.” Finally, Chen Ping remembered that he was in the Great Wall of Sword Qi. The self-built “hanging pavilion” in that prison.

That’s why I asked Xiaomo to help protect the road at the Wangxinghuaguan in the Great Quan Dynasty. Chen Ping had two attempts. One was with the many “rubbings” of Xinhu Bookstore, “Mituo” “The thousand miles of mountains and rivers in the Tuoyue Mountains, one flower, one grass, one mountain and one house, every delicate hair was completely shown, but when trying to “flower”, it fell short. After being reminded by a small moor outside the house, Chen Ping stopped. Greedy for everything, only Great Dao showed the growth of a purple Golden Lotus child, but when the flowers were still in bloom, they still gave up on their own initiative.

Xiaomo eyes shined, but hesitating to speak.

Cui Dongshan seemed to have guessed what the other party was thinking, nodded and said: “You thought of it, and I thought of it, so Mister must have thought of it earlier. It’s just that this is too costly, and it’s not the three. It is Divine Immortal money, but extremely scarce gold and copper money. Moreover, Mister has fallen again. The imminent thing is to heal and restore the realm, so most of it was deliberately temporarily put on hold by Mister.”

“The four houses are down to the universe, and the Zhou Yu is overwhelmed by the universe.”

Cui Dongshan raised his head to look at the sky, stomped on the ground, put his hands away, shook his sleeves, muttered: “Up and down the four squares are called the universe, and the present is called the universe from ancient times.”

In the middle of the moon, the number of Flying Swords is directly related to the level of realm. For example, when Chen Ping and Lu Chen borrowed Fourteenth Realm Taoism, they had a questioning sword with the first disciple of Tuoyue Mountain. The evolution of a spurt of energy derives nearly 500,000 Flying Swords. In fact, this is Chen Ping deliberately or unintentionally “hidden clumsy”. If he does not hesitate to damage Spirit, Soul and Qi, let go of his hands and feet to display that product at the time “Jingbianyue” with a rank close to Peak and a quality close to Perfection or even “Sky Moon”, the number of Flying Swords is estimated to reach an astonishing 800,000.

As for the bird in the cage, Chen Ping, as Cui Dongshan expected, has long figured out a certain probability of the second Life Source Divine Ability, which is related to the long river of time.

This is why Chen Ping traveled recently and learned that Old Head Yang smoked a dry cigarette. Even if he doesn’t adapt anymore, he still brace oneself.

Old Head Yang always smokes dry cigarettes when discussing with people in the backyard of the drugstore. With this, Great Dao’s roots are only to mess up a long river of time. Unless it is the Three Sect Founders, you will be a master. Fourteenth Realm Great Cultivator, such as Observing Dao Temple’s old masters, can never try to find any clues by going upstream along a long river of time.

It’s just the clouds and mists of dry smoke, but it is the Burning Incense of the world that only Spiritual God can control, or to take a step back, the second-class authentic works like calligraphy and painting are gold fine copper coins.

So Chen Ping quietly asked Changming for a few bags of gold, fine and copper while on the Fengyuan Ferry, and of course he would keep accounts.

From Cui Dongshan’s point of view, Heaven and Earth can evolve once Jing Zhongyue is almost “the truth”.

Coupled with the caged bird, you can control a long river of time in Small World.

Outsiders are in it, and the fate can be imagined.

Xiao Mo suddenly said with guilt: “I knew this was the case, I promised Lingchun Fellow Daoist.”

Cui Dongshan turned his head, smiled and asked, “How do you say?”

It turned out that it was Dao Name Lingchun’s upper sect who was in charge of long life. She was on the Fengyuan Ferry before. She wanted to buy the newly-acquired dísciple dísciple Nalan Jade Sword, so she bought several lost superior swords from Xiaomo. For the technique, the price is decided by Xiao Mo, she can exchange it with bags of gold, fine copper.

Xiao Mo feels that he is a registered consecration of upper sect, so I am embarrassed to collect money and teach the sword technique to Nalan Yubi. It is a trivial matter of one sentence. No matter how to refuse it, Xiao Mo had to say something cruel. , If you want to give money, you don’t give the sword manual.

As a result, the sword technique is really not needed for a long life.

Anyway, she spent money on the sword technique, she was casting the net.

Cui Dongshan jokingly said: “Xiaomo ah Xiaomo, you are too honest and straightforward. How can this kind of thing be rigid, and the elder sister of Changming will ask for a bag and a half of gold and copper, sword technique I also gave it away, and got the favor, the best of both worlds.”

Xiao Mo was educated with an humility, nodded and said: “I still failed to really follow the customs in the countryside.”

Cui Dongshan said: “I have a suggestion. At the foot of the Xianfeng Mountain, isn’t there a Tsingyi River and a treasure beach? I will give you a place for road repairs and build a hut. , You will preach there regularly,”

Xiao Mo was a little bit embarrassed, “Xiao Mo can only say that realm is acceptable, but this is a major event, it is really shallow cultivation, teaching people, it is estimated that it will only laugh generously. There are Young Master and Sect Master. Cui Zhuyu is in front, how can Xiaomo dare to be a teacher.”

In Ancient Era, no matter what the origin of “Daoist”, the word “Preaching Dao” is too heavy to imagine.

Taoism, Proving Dao, gain the Tao, preach.

The four are indispensable for one to be a true “Daoist”.

So before in Taoyuan, my Young Master and the Nascent Soul Cultivator named Luying gave 12 characters free of charge.

Jingsi respects the police, and ceases to cultivate to the cultivation of the Tao.

It’s like talking about Xiao Mo’s heart.

A cultivator needs to think carefully, respect Heaven and Earth everything, and at the same time be vigilant about this World, so don’t easily say that you have built a Great Dao.

It’s not even close.

Cui Dongshan raised his hands, clenched his fists, and finally the palms were facing each other, and gently clapped his palms, said with a smile: “Have Mister told you that you should not be arrogant, supercilious, undervalued, or undervalued? oneself, without me in your heart, despise yourself. Only if you don’t go to extremes, you can be considered a gentleman and a righteous person.”

Xiaomo nodded and said: “reasonable.”

Actually, Cui Dongshan didn’t say much about it.

The old owner of this place is Tian Wan, so her Senior Brother Zou Zi must have walked through this paradise ruins. Once Mister can walk in the long river of time at will, she can find a chance to ask the sword with Zou Zi in the future.

Although it may not be possible, it is not impossible.

Thousands of mountains and rivers are unstoppable and no match for the pair of straw sandals on Mister’s feet.

Xiao Mo said: “After leaving here, when the Fengyuan ferry returns to Xiandu Mountain, I will go to Lingchun Fellow Daoist and ask for a few bags of gold fine copper.”

Cui Dongshan nodded and said: “It’s not easy to buy golden fragments nowadays. There is no need to think about Aquarius Continent. Great Li Dynasty Imperial Court will not miss anything. Even if someone sells it, it’s not easy. It will be a sky-high price. Tree Leaf Continent, plus the Shaking Support Continent, may still have a chance. After those Mountain and Rivers Divine Spirit golden bodies were shattered, not all of them would have been raided by the wild army tents that year, but they could only It’s a small leak to pick up, after all these years of recuperation, the hills and the hills have all eased, one by one ghosts and spirits.”

Wearing azure clothes to get out of the thunder pool prohibition.

Cui Dongshan is in a complicated mood, deceiving the sky by self-deception, but it is not a cover one’s ears whilst stealing a bell.

Someone listened to the sky.

Mister wanted to be in court with him.

The entire group came to the foot of the mountain and Cui Dongshan introduced: “This mountain is called Chisongshan. It is a surprise to be able to succeed. In fact, at first, Chief Zhou and I tried our best to prevent Tian Wan from leaving Aquarius Continent. Going to paradise the famous cicada.”

This historically unknown paradise site is not among the 36 Small Paradise. It is now named Changchun-paradise by Cui Dongshan.

Tian Wan, Zhuyu Peak, Righteous Sun Mountain, Water Dragon Peak, the genius brother who manages the spy…

Chen Ping and Cui Dongshan looked at each other.

Cui Dongshan is nodded hard, this matter is feasible.

Chen Ping shook his head, this kind of temporary intention is inappropriate and inappropriate.

Cui Dongshan’s eyes gestured, Mister, you have to ask what Xiao Mo means, otherwise it’s a kind of alternative, unlike Mister.

Chen Ping still shook his head.

Facing the members of Unrestrained Mountain and Xiandu Mountain, Xiao Mo would set up barriers by himself. He didn’t check his heartstrings, let alone talk about his Young Master and Sect Master Cui, so he only vaguely realized that this matter had something to do with him. He said tentatively: “Young Master is on Xiao Mo’s side. If there is anything else in trouble, it is Xiao Mo’s dereliction of duty.”

Cui Dongshan said with a smile: “It has nothing to do with Mister. I want to add a burden to Xiao Mo. Can I manage the Unrestrained Mountain spy matter, but Mister refused.”

Xiao Mo thought about it, and said: “I can fight first, and help me aside. If it turns out that Xiao Mo is quite comfortable, of course I am willing to worry about Young Master a little bit.”

Chen Ping jokingly said: “Xiao Mo, you are an Ascension Realm Peak sword cultivator. You go to deal with the espionage mansion every day, don’t you think you are losing your share?”

Xiao Mo shook his head and said, “It’s just that you can read books without spending money. Reading like this is first under the heavens fun.”

Cui Dongshan energetically nodded, “Reasonable, just like wine without spending money, it is the best wine in the world.”

Chen Ping slapped Cui Dongshan on the head, “I opened my own shop to make wine. What does it cost to drink.”

Cui Dongshan continued to introduce: “This Small Paradise has small mountain and river boundaries, but a radius of a hundred miles, but the abundance of Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi will not lose to Tree Leaf Sect’s Small Paradise. The difference is at most 20-30%, which is because I didn’t put Divine Immortal money into it.”

Cui Dongshan shook his snow-white sleeves, triumphantly, “Ha, who made me recognize a biological younger sister who has been separated for so many years?”

Chen Ping hesitated, “The vulgar people in the world look at the sky, and the blue sky is like a mirror. The monks are looking down on the earth and mountains and rivers on the mountain. In fact, it is also a mirror, only relatively potholes.”

If you are not careful, the cultivator is like seeing an abyss on the mountain. See you all kinds of people again.

Cui Dongshan is nodded, knowing that Mister is reminding himself not to play with people.

There is a gurgling stream at the foot of the mountain, the stream is red, just like the cinnabar carefully refined by the Immortal Family, the weight of the flowing water is far beyond ordinary.

In his hometown of Black Pearl Paradise, Ruan Qiong built a blacksmith shop and found a Sword Furnace on the riverside because of the gloomy water of the Dragon Beard River, suitable for sword making.

Chen Ping squatted by the stream, holding water in his hand, with a fine jade luster.

Cui Dongshan squatted aside and explained: “The reason why the stream has this natural phenomenon is that the old pines on the mountain are thousands of years old, and the Immortal Family flowers naturally wither and flourish. The year after year nourishes the flowing water. The’deficit’ has continued to be consolidated. Naturally, it is an excellent talisman material. Looking back, we can use this to do business with Yu Laoer or Dragon Tiger Mountain. According to my estimation, the amount of water is 3,000 catties a year. Will not affect the foundation of the Great Dao of paradise.”

But at least within the sixty years cycle, Cui Dongshan does not intend to make a money from this paradise, which is of great use.

In Chisong Mountain, exotic flowers and rare herbs including Chisam and Poria have been marked by Cui Dongshan one after another and recorded in the book.

On the way to the mountain, Chen Ping asked casually: “Do you have an account book?”

Cui Dongshan said: “I do have it here, but the cultivator does not have it yet. These exotic flowers and rare herbs are numerous in the mountains. One hundred years of age is a small threshold, two hundred and sixteen. Tree, after three hundred years is a middle hurdle, those who are over 300 years old, there are 70, a thousand years is a major hurdle, similar to the life and death of a cultivator, there are 16 people who have survived this tribulation. In addition, it is unique in the mountains. There are three hundred and sixty red pine trees, which are more age-old than flowers and plants. Undead has 195 trees over a thousand years old, and there are 19 trees over three thousand years. Overall, the number is extremely impressive.”

Chen Ping nodded and said: “not just in name only, but also in reality mountains of gold and silver.”

In addition, there is an Immortal Mansion on the top of the mountain.

Chen Ping came to a dead old pine tree that collapsed to the ground. The annual rings were extremely fine. After a glance, it was about four thousand years old. Chen Ping broke a large piece of golden-yellow pine resin. It is very heavy to start, whether it is used for medicine or refining ink to make incense. Chen Ping looks around all around, this mountain is really full of Divine Immortal money, as long as you climb the mountain, you can pick it up at will.

For no reason, I remembered that I was in the North Entirely Reed Continent, and it was obviously more difficult.

So the lower sect of Unrestrained Mountain, Xiandu Mountain built by Cui Dongshan, is not short of money, and lack of people is only temporary.

No wonder Cui Dongshan, the lower sect Sect Master, can be so stiff, of course, he spares no effort to dig up the upper sect.

Chen Ping did not put pine resin in his sleeves, but casually placed it on the decayed pine branch.

Xiao Mo found Sect Master Cui on the side, as if looking forward to it, his eyes were full of expectation. When he saw his Young Master put the resin back in, he looked a little disappointed.

Chen Ping clapped his hands, continued climbing, and asked casually: “The cicada paradise has disappeared for a long time, but it has not been removed. Now it is still one of the 36 Small Paradises. Is there any talk here?” [ 19459002]

Cui Dongshan nodded and said: “The paradise of the cicada is the most important site in the ancient Shu area. There is no one, because there have been rumors that there was a number of ancient Sword Immortal, where the cicada escaped and soared. , The leftover skin is like a cicada. It is incomparable for later generations like the ruins of Dadu and River Dragon Palace. Because every remnant of Sword Immortal and Dao Rhyme may carry one or even several kinds of ancient sword dao .”

Chen Ping curiously asked: “How did the cicada shed paradise, how did it disappear from Aquarius Continent?”

Cui Dongshan said with a smile: “It was originally the place of the Proving Dao of the Master Zheng Juzhong. This guy has a high sword technique and a strong temper. He belonged to a foreigner who traveled across continents to Aquarius Continent. But this is the biggest opportunity. He still got it. It was in this Small Paradise that made him a member of the Ascension Realm. Later, somehow, this guy provoked public anger and was beaten by the dozen mainland and the Sword Immortal of other continents. The two sides fought. , I hit mountains bursting and ground splitting, with heavy casualties, eight Upper Five Realms sword cultivators, six Nascent Soul sword cultivators, a total of fourteen people, none of them ran, and all were killed by that guy. Because it was a sword cultivator. In the dispute, the two sides made a life and death statement before handing over their swords, and the battlefield was within the paradise of the cicada, so the innocent under the mountain was never injured, and the Central Plains Confucian Temple did not care much.”

Xiao Mo praised him, no wonder he was able to become the later dragon slayer.

Even if you don’t talk about the level of the sword technique, just talk about your temper, and you have a good appetite.

Chen Ping said: “Aquarius Continent’s sword dao destiny, has it been weak since then?”

Cui Dongshan nodded and said: “Of the Sword Immortal killed in battle, most of them were Aquarius Continent native sword cultivators, like a wealthy family, as if their home was ransacked overnight, and the situation naturally took a turn for the worse. For three thousand years, it was still in a slump. In addition, Tian Wan and Bai Chang secretly joined forces to make trouble from it. Therefore, it was not until the rise of Mister that you recovered a bit of vitality.”

“The repercussions of that questioning sword were huge. For Aquarius Continent, not only those Sword Immortal fell into the paradise of the cicada, but also many sword dao Immortal families were involved, and the Burning Incense, all sword cultivators were cut off. The sword dao destiny that he was carrying was banned within the paradise of the cicada, and there was a more troublesome thing, like the entire sword dao of Aquarius Continent, which was completely suppressed by a sword cultivator from a foreign town.” [ 19459002]

Cui Dongshan finally frivolous said: “After all, it is Zheng Juzhong’s Daoist biography, it is still a little bit weak.”

Chen Ping asked: “Why hasn’t there been an invigorating and refining mountain in Akamatsu Mountain so far?”

Cui Dongshan sighed, “The old master here must be the immortal who possesses great magical power. He is probably not just in name only, but also in reality, a secluded mountain man who is pure-hearted and low-spirited. He is not happy by nature. Therefore, a true method of’closing the mountains’ was used, and even after a few thousand years, the plants and flowers in the mountains would still not be able to reopen. Even if he left here, he still did not unlock the restrictions on the mountains and waters. “

Chen Ping couldn’t help but sighed: “Strange people and strange things.”

According to Tian Wan at the time, the paradise was not on her.

She didn’t lie, properly speaking, but she didn’t know where she was.

It used a more brilliant mountain ban than the Great Li Dynasty Queen Mother Nanzhan, and it must be Tian Wan’s Senior Brother Zou Zi’s handwriting. At the beginning, Cui Dongshan “searched the mountains” for inspections, just looking for Tian Wan The Mountain Sect in Divine Soul almost let Cui Dongshan start talking, and the gutter overturned the ship.

Now Tian Wan only has a key to “open the mountain”. She speculated that she was taken to Black Pearl Paradise by the Senior Brother. But no matter how Cui Dongshan fortunes and deduces afterwards, he could not find a clue.

Approaching the top of the mountain, Cui Dongshan whispered suggested: “Mister, before you go to Azure Nether World, you can concentrate on cultivating here.”

Mister can study the sword technique, cultivation Great Dao with peace of mind in this mountain. He can cast all his life’s learning and mixed technique into a furnace, and finally rise to the sky.

At the same time this means that Mister can stay in the lower sect for a long time.

As for the upper sect Unrestrained Mountain, Mister is used to being an arm-flinging shopkeeper anyway, and an old cook manages the affairs. You also have a rich and imposing chief of the week, who is a small stranger of the Ascension Realm sword cultivator. Mister is to be enshrined, and a heavenly demon from Ascension Realm is the handyman dísciple… Are you embarrassed to grab Mister with me?

Chen Ping declined the matter, but suggested: “I don’t care, it is better to let Chai Wu, Bai Xuan, and Sun Chun Wang three children, come here for cultivation.”

Today’s Chai Wu, she has successfully made the “Same Fire” presented by Xiao Mo as a Life Source object, which can barely be regarded as a sword cultivator.

Chen Ping was a bit worried before. On his way to the south, Flying Sword sent a letter to Xiandu Mountain on the Yeyundu side of Lingbi Mountain. In addition to sending a picture to Cui Dongshan to witness and personally I drew a picture of the mountains and rivers along the way. The letter also specifically asked about Chai Wu’s sword making. I got a reply from there, saying that the little girl’s sword making was very smooth.

In the ordinary mountain Sect, even in the Great Sect, how to treat the small group of monastic aptitudes that can be regarded as the “stunning” Ancestral Hall’s original biography, in fact, has always been a big problem.

Either it is easy to develop a habit of arrogance, or it is too old-fashioned and only knows cultivation, which is not at all humanistic.

For example, Ma Linshi of the White Dragon Cave, as the dísciple of Xu Qingzhu, the master of the cave, has a high level of seniority and talent, and he is also a fairy descendant of Dao Companion on the mountain, who is loved by thousands of people in one body.

Until now, Unrestrained Mountain has been “unrecognizable” in this matter. It is very different from the general situation on the mountain, and it is simply strange.

There is such a style, but Chen Ping can not do it alone. He has at most followed Ruan Qiong and Daoist Fire Dragon successively, and almost copied some unwritten sects of Dragon Spring Sword Sect and Badifeng. rules.

Among the third generation children of Unrestrained Mountain, Chai Wu. King Sun Chun, Bai Xuan.

These three children are undoubtedly the best in monastic aptitude, Chen Ping and Unrestrained Mountain, naturally they will not deliberately pursue the so-called hold a bowl of water level.

Cui Dongshan said with a smile: “Massive little girls and dead fish-eye little girls, aptitude is so good, I will definitely bring them by my side and preach for them, but now they all have a clear teacher biography, I just I can only do some icing on the cake, at most it is to pass down a few side door methods for them, and then teach some sword technique.

“For example, Chai Wu, I strive to not spoil things through excessive enthusiasm, nor waste her cultivation aptitude, see if I can help her… ascending to the skies with a single leap, directly from Willow Tendon Realm To rank among the Original Purity Realm, for now, there is some certainty. Of course, luck still needs some. In short, Mister can expect some points.”

Chen Ping hearing this had to take out a jug of wine and was shocked by the drink.

It’s just this kind of shocking wine, Chen Ping doesn’t mind drinking a few more times.

Liu Qi, careful.

There is also the genius female cultivator of Azure Nether World who is among the young ten candidates.

As well as a certain reincarnation of Li Liu, they all joined the Upper Five Realms directly from Willow Tendon Realm.

Even if there are some omissions, it still deserves to be counted on one’s fingers. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a once-in-a-millennium encounter in a world.

Cui Dongshan said resolutely: “The three of Chai and Wu came here for cultivation. Actually, there is not much difference. Even if they do, they are unhurried for a while. So I still stick to the previous statement and hope that Mister can cultivation here alone.”

Chen Ping said with a smile: “So that I can retreat here and take up this ‘one’?”

A small paradise, a closed mountain, can just support a monk, and it ranks among the Ascension Realm here.

Xiao Mo was stunned, no wonder Sect Master Cui waited eagerly for Young Master to put away the unremarkable piece of resin.

Cui Dongshan was very sad and did not deny the matter.

Chen Ping thought for a while, and said: “When I visit the Central Plains Divine Continent with Liu Jinglong, and then return here, I will give you an exact answer. If when the time comes, you really want to retreat here, you have to agree I have one condition.”

Cui Dongshan, nodded and said: “The student union will first step down as the lower sect Sect Master, and then follow Mister to tour the Azure Nether World.”

Chen Ping said with a smile: “The former doesn’t matter, you discuss with Cao Qinglang, but the latter must be counted, and no appointment is allowed.”

When I reached the top of the mountain, the clouds and mist around him, Cui Dongshan snapped his fingers, the clouds and mist disappeared instantly, his vision suddenly opened up, the vermilion gate slowly opened, and the inner wall of the gate was actually a huge stone tablet. Chen Ping crossed the threshold. Later, I looked up at the ancient words and roughly explained the origin of this mountain, but the contents of the words were dim and unclear. In short, I could recognize the words and most of the meanings were not clear.

Daoshan Jiangfu, immortal city ten thousand li Suochanjuan…… Great Dao fights for crossing, Fengdi first, burn both jade and stone. The spirit and spirit are rotten with the body, and hate Yellow Springs… Is it a weak world to cast a golden body…

After bypassing the stone tablet, there is an empty great hall with twelve golden statues of Divine Idol standing upright, but their faces are all fuzzy.

Xiao Mo said, “It is the twelve-high Spiritual God that was once high in the sky.”

Chen Ping felt intimidated. He hesitated, and took out the narrow knife to “execute”. He held the knife with both hands and the narrow knife hit the ground, in an instant. One of the Divine Idols was cleared and the mist was cleared. Open your eyes slowly, as if looking at Chen Ping.

The narrow knife that Chen Ping held against the palm of his hand came from the sword-bearer, one of the five highest in the past, and was named the “executor” by later generations.

Cui Dongshan suddenly said: “Xiao Mo, let’s quit.”

Xiao Mo was nodded and followed the white clothed youth back the same way. When they stood outside the door again, the door closed suddenly.

Except for this “executioner” sleeping near the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

There is also the high-ranking Spiritual God “single-eyed man” who has been dormant in the colorful world for thousands of years and was beheaded by the sword by Ning Yao. In the past, the priesthood belonged to the armored man, and his duties changed day and night. At this moment, this Divine Idol is the same. Standing in the great hall.

The high Spiritual God who appeared in Tree Leaf Continent from outside the sky, once walked across the mountains and rivers to the Aquarius Continent Old Dragon City, but was blocked by two Senior Brothers from Chen Ping from landing, his name was ” Responders”.

The ancestor of the man Earth Immortal, Old Head Yang in the backyard of the drug store, as Heavenly Monarch Qing Tong.

The ancestor of the female Earth Immortal, is also the Human Race cultivator origin, and she is also the co-master of the Antiquity Heavenly Court.

The two parties respectively hold an Ascension Platform that will lead Earth Immortal to ascend into a god.

And these two treat the earth as their hometown, always repaying kindness.

They and the earliest master of the Taoist hairpin in Xianshan City, as well as the old master who was the master of Bixiaodong Cave in Luobao Beach in the early years, are considered to be practitioners of the same generation.

Xiao Mo is a little later in cultivation and younger than these.

“Waimei”, is the master of dreams, so that all spiritual beings other than Spiritual God, especially the cultivator on the path of cultivation, can easily fall into upside-down dreams, and then give birth to Heart Demon.

“The wordless person” has a divine ability of “stopping speech”, so it is also known as the “heart voice person”. According to legend, the heartfelt words of the monks, and the pure Martial Artist’s converging voices, come from this.

“Re-engraver”, created countless copies of the Sun, Moon and Mountains and Rivers Secret Realm, so it is also called “Imaginer” or “Forgeer”.

Thunder Division Lord of the divisions.

“Planner”, under the command of Vulcan, is responsible for the placement of all Spiritual God corpses.

“Disorderer”, under the command of the God of Water, is in charge of the orderly flow of the long river of time.

Finally, there is a high-level Spiritual God, whether it is Central Plains Temple of Literature, Western Buddha Country, Azure Nether World’s White Jade Capital, or Great Wall of Sword Qi’s Summer Palace, there is no record in later generations, and no title is used. It’s like a salute from afar.

The five highest in ancient times.

Celestial Court co-master, sword bearer, armored person, fire god, water god.

Then came the twelfth high position.

In addition to the only “unsigned”, there are the executioner, the one-eyed, the slumber, the voice of the heart, the engraver, the echoer, the lord of the Thunder Division, the arranger, and the troublemaker. , Plus the ancestors of the two men and women Earth Immortal.

In addition.

Aunt Feng, one of the ancient wind gods.

Yushi, that hometown potter.

As for the old coachman of Great Li Dynasty Capital, his position is slightly lower. It is similar to the difference between the six Vice-minister and the Langguan, but although the latter has a lower “official status”, it has a prominent priesthood and extremely powerful authority. Great, because the old coachman is Spiritual God, the chief officer of one of the old Celestial Court Thunder Division divisions.

Chen Ping twice, twisted three sticks of incense from his sleeves, and gave the incense to two Divine Idol.

One of them has great merits in Heaven and Earth. The other one has great favor from Chen Ping himself.

The old saying goes that suffering a loss is a blessing, it is to teach people to be good.

To endure hardship is to endure hardship, only the more you eat, the harder you get.

There are some unspeakable sufferings. When a person has finally survived, he can just accept it silently. Don’t say anything lightly to others who are suffering. It is a monster.

Get out of the great hall, bypass the stone tablet, and open the door.

The eyes are azure, the vision is broad, and the sky is clear and clear.

Tree Leaf Continent this year, during the light snow season, there were a few big snowflakes. It was extremely cold and the ground was freezing. Every house in the Immortal Mansion on the mountain was covered with snow. The world was full of thick snow and the sound of broken jade. I didn’t expect to really wait until the heavy snow season, but it was just a perfunctory sleet.

The Qingping and Xianxian peaks of Xiandu Mountain stand side by side. As the Ancestral Mountain and the main peak, Qingping Peak, Fuyaoping on the top of the mountain, is also the site of the lower sect Ancestral Hall.

而次峰谪仙峰，山脚有条青衣河，岸边有落宝滩，与那老观主的碧霄洞落宝滩，自然并无渊源，Cui Dongshan 就只是拿来讨个好彩头，希冀着将来的lower sect cultivator ，入山访仙也好，下山历练也罢，treasure 机缘如雨落，纷纷落袋为安。此峰山顶的扫花台，则已经被Sui Youbian 一眼相中，她开辟为一处修道之地。

此外仙都山还有一座稍矮的支脉山头，旁逸而出，被Cui Dongshan 取名为密雪峰，山崖裸露极多，皆玉white ，会有fifty-sixty 座府邸依山而建。

目前只有一座宅子，勉强有点Immortal Mansion 的样子，是Cui Dongshan 专门为自己Mister 准备的，其他人都没有这份待遇。

Cao Qinglang 和Pei Qian 属于跟着沾光，就分别住在了东西厢房。

这天清晨时分，Chen Ping 一粒心神退出人身Small World ，下床后刚要穿上布鞋，抬头看了眼窗外的小雨天气，就又换了双靴子。

走出屋子后，发现Pei Qian 坐在檐下看雨，发现Master 现身后，Pei Qian 说Cao Qinglang 和小陌Mister 都去给Little Senior Brother 帮忙了。

至于Pei Qian 自己，她当然得留在这边，好照顾Master 的饮食起居，她先问Master 要不要吃早饭，Chen Ping nodded 后，Pei Qian 让Master 稍等，去灶房那边忙碌片刻，很快就端了食物上桌。

Chen Ping 双手笼袖坐在桌旁，眯眼而笑。

桌上一碗温热的小米粥，两碟咸菜，竟然还有一笼蟹粉汤包？

Chen Ping 拿起筷子，喝粥吃菜，再夹了一只蟹粉汤包，nodded with a smile 道：“手艺不错，暖胃养人。以后……”

本想说以后Pei Qian 嫁了人，真是谁娶进门谁有福气，只是一想到这种事情，Chen Ping 那份亦师亦父的别扭心态，又开始作祟，就打住了话头。

好不容易将自家闺女养大了，凭什么就是嫁出去的女儿泼出去的水了？天底下怎么会有这样的混账道理。

可Pei Qian 将来真要遇到了心仪对象，嫁人就嫁人吧。只是那个小子，休想在自己这边瞧见个好脸色，不被套麻袋，就烧高香吧。

Pei Qian 发现Master 神色变幻不定，这可是极其少见的稀罕事了，忍不住问道：“Master ，有心事？”

Chen Ping said with a smile ：“没事。”

可辛苦憋了半天，Chen Ping 还是cautiously ，故意用一种casually 的语气，看似随意问道：“那些年里，Master 不在身边，你自己一个人在外游历，走了那么远的路，有没有遇见比较优秀的peers ，或是山上的年轻俊彦？”

Pei Qian 想了想，nodded and said ：“见到一些，挺有能耐的。”

Chen Ping 满脸微笑，“那有没有印象最深的某个人，他叫什么名字啊？”

Master 之后游历Central Plains Divine Continent ，得会一会他。

Pei Qian 神色古怪，终于开始察觉到不对劲了，“Master ，嘛呢？”

Chen Ping 一本正经道：“就是闲聊。”

Pei Qian 埋怨道：“Master ，别瞎想啊，我可没有书上写得那些儿女情长，缠绵悱恻啊，只是习武练拳，就够够的了。”

Chen Ping said with a slight smile ：“在一处古怪山巅，见到了两对master and disciple 。”

Pei Qian 一头雾水。

Chen Ping teased ：“其中有个Little Heitan ，迷迷糊糊的，见着了Master 还发呆，一板栗下去，抱头哇哇叫。”

Pei Qian 咧嘴一笑。

在Tree Leaf Continent ，Chen Ping 以当今天下“最强”身份跻身的Tenth Realm Martial Artist ，结果发现武运馈赠反而比预期少了，只是很快Chen Ping 就知道答案了，原来武运被无形中divided into two 了，然后就像被人强行拖拽了去了一座陌生Heaven and Earth ，在那处古怪至极的山巅，站着十一人。

一座Great World 中，武运浓稠似水，十一位纯粹Martial Artist 围成一圈，故而位次没有高下之分，都是“万年以来，前无古人”的某境最强Martial Artist 。

其中就有两对master and disciple 。

Central Plains Great Origin Dynasty ，裴杯，曹慈。

Aquarius Continent Unrestrained Mountain ，Chen Ping ，Pei Qian 。

而曹慈这个家伙，竟然一人就占据了山巅四个位置。

Chen Ping 以前是担心练拳太苦，小时候最怕吃疼的Pei Qian ，她会不会半途而废。

如今是担心Pei Qian 辛苦练拳，会觉得不值当，因为习武一事，属于逆水行舟不进则退，凭借一口纯粹True Qi ，如一支铁骑，巡狩山河，不像cultivator on the path of cultivation ，只要炼制了Life Source 物，开辟出处处府邸，宛如建造city ，分兵占据雄关险隘，对自家山河了如指掌，然后就是按部就班汲取Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi ，或凿山或填湖，不断往里边添补family property 。

Chen Ping 吃完早点，放下筷子，冷不丁问道：“Pei Qian ，Master 问你，Martial Dao 登顶，所为何事？”

将桌上竹屉往Pei Qian 那边推了推，said with a smile ：“不用急着回答，吃完再说不迟。”

Pei Qian 夹了最后一只蟹粉汤包，含糊不清道：“除了Master ，身前无人。”

“不够。”

Chen Ping 摇头said with a smile ：“再答。”

Pei Qian 一脸讶异，“啊？”

她赶紧咽下汤包，抹了抹嘴，这还不够？

见Master 还在等着答案，Pei Qian 只得brace oneself 小声道：“只比Master 低一境？”

Chen Ping 一瞪眼。

Pei Qian 挠挠脸，“那就斗胆跟Master 同境？”

Chen Ping 气笑不已，双指并拢，轻敲桌面如敲板栗，“认真点！”

Pei Qian 只觉得愁死个人，Master 还要自己咋个认真嘛。

Chen Ping 便想着换了一个说法，他突然神色凝重起来，以心声问道：“Pei Qian ，你得了数次‘最强’二字，就没有遇到什么奇怪的人，奇怪的事？”

关键是Pei Qian 也在那处山巅，她是有一席之地的。

Pei Qian 开始翻检记忆，然后记起一事，nodded 说道：“Master ，勉强算有吧，小时候好像做了个梦，然后见着个记不清是谁的怪人，带着我一起……不是登山，而是下山，对方问我学拳做什么，我那会儿小，不懂事，就obediently and honestly 回答了当时的心中想法。”

显然是开始做铺垫了。

那会儿是年纪小不懂事，喜欢talk nonsense ，Master 你别当真，不能秋后算账。

Chen Ping 静待下文。

Pei Qian 愈发心虚，倒是没敢隐瞒什么，without omission and in detail 与Master 详细说了过程。

原来当时Pei Qian 觉得自己反正是做梦，那还怕个锤子，一边心不在焉说着学个锤儿的拳，作为Master 的开山Head Disciple ，就是跟Master 学点好呗，不然练拳那么惨兮兮，何苦来哉。 Little Heitan 当时下山途中，一边蹦蹦跳跳，学大白鹅咋咋hu hu 的，一边朝身边那个个子极高的家伙递拳，问对方怕不怕，怕不怕。

Chen Ping 听到这里，不由得伸手揉了揉眉心。

倒是不奇怪，是Little Heitan 会说的话，会做的事情。

然后Pei Qian 接下来一句，让Chen Ping 气笑不已，忍不住took a deep breath 。

“不怕是吧，那你等着，等我Master 来了，你得跪下来peng peng 磕头嘞，believing or not ，你believing or not ？”

Chen Ping 保持微笑，勾了勾手掌，“过来。Master 收了你这么个开山Head Disciple ，福气啊。”

来，没吃饱饭，板栗管够。

Pei Qian 笑容尴尬，说了句Master 我收拾碗筷了，溜之大吉。

雨雪天气，Chen Ping 独自撑伞散步，沿着一条盘迂山道，去往Cui Dongshan 所在的简陋茅屋，商量观礼人选一事。

可惜暂时尚无摩崖石刻，其实lower sect 要是真舍得脸皮，愿意让Zhu Lian 捉刀的话，足可以假乱真，估计几天功夫，就能出现无数的名家崖刻。当然Cui Dongshan 自己也能做到。

一袭azure clothes ，细雨朦胧中，轻轻旋转伞柄。

既然已经订下具体的日期，lower sect 创建庆典，是明年立春这一天，那么upper sect Unrestrained Mountain ，以及仙都山的一处新建剑房，就开始忙碌起来，Flying Sword 传信邀请各方观礼客人。

只不过相比较Unrestrained Mountain 创建sect 的那场庆典，观礼之人要少些，甚至Unrestrained Mountain 那边，都不是所有人都会赶来。

比如Chen Ping 这边，就只邀请了刘景龙，钟魁，和那位等于是一人两sect 的黄庭。

如今的五彩天下，一个Golden Core cultivator 就可以establishing the sect 了，反正Central Plains 文庙也不会再管什么。

此外还有Qinghu Palace 陆雍，蒲山草堂叶芸芸，Great Quan Dynasty Emerald Jade Floating Palace 埋河水神Empress 柳柔，以及一双山水神祇Dao Companion ，金璜府mountain god 郑素，松针湖水君柳幼蓉。

无论是到场人数，还是庆典规模，可能还不如一场Golden Core 开峰ceremony 。

到了茅屋门口，Chen Ping 合拢油纸伞，斜靠门外墙壁，步入其中，一张大书案，堆满了Cui Dongshan 亲笔手绘草稿blueprint 。

Cui Dongshan 搁笔后退一步，隔着书案与Mister 作揖行礼，Chen Ping 摆摆手，示意他继续忙自己的，坐在长凳上，随手拿起桌上一张还泛着墨香的土木营造的手稿。

桌上的文房四宝，都极为寒酸，劈斫自家山中Azure Bamboo 作笔筒，随便搁放了一捆Great Quan Dynasty 鸡距笔，其余熟宣纸和松烟墨，都是市井购得。

Chen Ping 放下那张blueprint ，抬头问道：“虽然借给Lin Shouyi 百颗Grain Rain Coin ，可是Unrestrained Mountain 财库里边，还有不少Divine Immortal 钱的盈余，five-six hundred 颗Grain Rain Coin ，怎么都是拿得出来的，真不用？”

既然那座长春-paradise 的一切出产，暂时都无法变现为Divine Immortal 钱，就得另算了。

Unrestrained Mountain 那边，北Entirely Reed Continent 那条骸骨滩披麻宗、春露圃商贸航线，几乎囊括了一洲东南沿海地带的heavenly materials earthly treasures ，后来又加入了云上城和大源王朝，浮萍剑湖，让Unrestrained Mountain 这些年财源广进。

Cui Dongshan 摇头said with a smile ：“Mister ，真不用破费了。”

Chen Ping nodded ，说了自己邀请的那拨观礼客人名单，Cui Dongshan 有些无奈，“Mister 再不管lower sect 庶务，也还是我的Mister ，更是upper sect Sect Master ，这点小事，商量什么。”

Chen Ping 发现桌上有方私章，拿起一看，边款文字颇多。

酷寒时节，水塘干涸，荷叶败尽，枯枝横斜，再无擎雨盖之容，故而游鱼散尽……

Chen Ping 将印章轻轻放回原位，知道Cui Dongshan 是在说当年Black Pearl Paradise 的那场变故。

八字朱文底款，虫鸟篆如Heavenly Book ：天经地义，说文解字。

Cui Dongshan said with a smile ：“当年在Southern Mountain 储君山头采芝山那边做客，我跟Bamboo Sea Paradise 的那个纯青，闲着没事，有些牢骚，有感而发，学Mister ，好记性不如烂笔头，就篆刻下来了。Mister 要是喜欢就拿去，勉强可以拿来当做一方藏书印。”

Chen Ping 摇头婉拒此事，问道：“搬迁剩余两山一事，需不需要帮忙？”

Cui Dongshan 说道：“不用，不比这座仙都山，那两座辅佐山头，轻巧多了，来回两趟，走快点，撑死了就是一个半月。”

Chen Ping 大致说了蒲山之行的过程。

Cui Dongshan 说道：“其实小心起见，黄衣芸应该将这幅仙图交由Central Plains 文庙，不然一直留在蒲山，可能会是个不小的隐患。比如……算了，没有什么比如不比如的。”

Cui Dongshan 是怕自己乌鸦嘴，真要说中了，对于蒲山来说，就是一场不输Mount Taiping 当年浩劫的惊天变故，例如一幅仙图，因为本就是一座层层叠加array ，一旦在某个时刻被幕后主使，以诡谲手段遥遥开启禁制，在Formation 枢纽上边动手脚，瞬间炸开，至少equivalent to 一位Immortal Realm cultivator 的自毁Golden Core 、Nascent Soul 与皮囊魂魄，formidable power 之大，杀力之高，约莫equivalent to Ascension Realm sword cultivator 的倾力一剑，估计蒲山能够剩下半座，都算good luck 了。

Chen Ping said with a smile ：“叶芸芸知道其中轻重，也很好商量，所以那幅仙图真迹，其实已经被小陌悄悄收入袖中了，算是帮着蒲山代为保管几天，至于蒲山密库里边，只是放了件赝品，叶芸芸连薛怀都没有说，接下来就看能不能额外钓起一条的大鱼。”

Cui Dongshan nodded and said ：“薛怀可能都只是1st floor 障眼法，蒲山那边，一个不留神，就会藏有后手。”

以周密的行事风格，既然蒲山那边的长远谋划，已经落空，是绝对不会show mercy 的。

Chen Ping 说道：“比如叶芸芸的那位兄长，战事落幕后，这些年他一直在山外四处奔波，一直不在云草堂。”

就像这次Chen Ping 拜访蒲山云草堂，就未能见到对方。

不惮以最大恶意揣测他人，与愿意对他人给予最大善意，两者只是看似矛盾，其实双方并不冲突。

之后听到一趟敕鳞江游历，Cui Dongshan eyes shined ，said curiously ：“竟然是一处定婚店？”

显而易见，Cui Dongshan 是听说过定婚店的，大概只是始终未能亲眼见到，搓手道：“Mister ，那敕鳞江畔开茶棚的old woman 和少女，是否愿意担任我们仙都山的供奉，不但供奉，当俩guest official 也好啊，记名不记名，都可以随她们。”

Chen Ping 气said with a smile ：“这会儿开始称呼Mister 、说‘我们’了？”

老daoist 梁爽，如今是Dragon Tiger Moun­tain 的外姓大Heavenly Master ，由他来揭走那Dao Talisman ，没有半点问题。

old woman 恢复自由身后，与那个喜欢乱点鸳鸯谱的少女，master and disciple 双方此后何去何从，Chen Ping 当时没问。

Chen Ping 说道：“你如果真心想要尝试着招徕她们，可以Flying Sword 传信蒲山，让叶芸芸或是薛怀，帮忙问问看。”

Cui Dongshan chuckled 道：“就等Mister 这句话了！”

Chen Ping hehe 一笑。

Cui Dongshan 干笑不已。

Chen Ping 从Great Wall of Sword Qi 带回的九位Sword Immortal 胚子，虞青章和贺乡亭已经跟随于樾去往别地，剩下七个child ，其中程朝露如今已经跟随Sui Youbian 在扫花台那边练剑，于斜回算是捏着鼻子认了掌律崔嵬当Master ，何辜的Master 是即将担任lower sect 首席供奉的米Great Sword Immortal ，如果加上风鸢渡船上边的纳兰玉牒，结果被lower sect 拐来了四个。

若是再加上孙春王，就是五个了。

只剩下白玄和姚小妍，留在了Unrestrained Mountain 和拜剑台。

白玄怕那只大白鹅，只是一小部分原因。

姚小妍则是跟那位双方个头一般高的新Master 投缘。

只不过青萍Sword Sect 既然是一座剑dao sect ，那么被学生Cui Dongshan 如此挖墙脚，Chen Ping 也就认了。

可是到最后，Cui Dongshan 这个lower sect Sect Master ，有点无所不用其极了，竟然连自己都要挖墙脚过来lower sect 这边，毕竟一旦选择在长春-paradise 之内闭关破境，不管将来是从玉璞bottleneck 跻身the immortal ，或是更高，可不是几个月就能解决的事情，动辄数年光阴甚至耗时更久。

Chen Ping 说道：“我在犹豫要不要邀请真境宗的李芙蕖。”

毕竟这位Nascent Soul female cultivator ，还是Unrestrained Mountain 的guest official 。

至于真境宗的Sect Master 刘老成和首席供奉Liu Zhimao 就算了。

除了那只一眼相中的福禄寿三色翡翠手镯，Chen Ping 再厚着脸皮与小陌讨要了一件法袍，打算将两物一并寄给Aquarius Continent 真境宗的周采真。

Cui Dongshan 摇头道：“意义不大，lower sect 就当节省下一件法袍了。”

Chen Ping 问道：“什么意思？”

Cui Dongshan 忍住笑说道：“Mister ，小陌跟我商量好了，lower sect 举办庆典之前，会送我一些法袍，争取让lower sect 的Ancestral Hall 成员，嫡传dísciple ，供奉guest official ，反正为数不多，那就人手一件，见者有份。至于来青萍峰观礼的客人，就有点悬了，lower sect 不好厚此薄彼，太伤感情，那就干脆谁都不送了。”

Chen Ping helplessly said ：“这个小陌！”

只说陪着自己头回做客Draping Clouds Mountain ，小陌一送就是直接送出两件半仙兵品秩的重宝，而且送得极其熨帖人心啊，因为那对瞧着袖珍可爱的小巧兵器，大有用处，尤其是落在一位五岳Mountain Monarch 手中，更能物尽其用，一把青玉斧，可以拿来“开山”，黄玉钺用作“镇压水运”。

如今魏Mountain Monarch 估计做梦都能笑出声吧。

Wei Bo 不得每天掰手指头等着小陌再次做客Northern Mountain ？

Cui Dongshan 喊了一声，“Mister 。”

Chen Ping 有些纳闷，“en? ”

Cui Dongshan 笑容灿烂，“Mister 如今虽未背剑……”

Chen Ping 斩钉截铁道：“打住！”

Cui Dongshan 还是opened the mouth and said ：“气吞山河，sword qi 横秋。”

Chen Ping 站起身，whispered ：“Unrestrained Mountain 这股malignant social trends ，就是你起的头。”

Cui Dongshan 一脸委屈，“Mister ，思来想去，我终于确定了，谁才是咱们Unrestrained Mountain 风气的第一大功臣。”

Chen Ping 有些好奇，“是谁？”

Cui Dongshan 压低嗓音道：“是Little Baoping ！”

Chen Ping 愣了愣，坐回原位，揉了揉下巴，只是很快就对Cui Dongshan 笑骂一句，你少在这边告Little Baoping 的刁状，欠拍。

Cui Dongshan 揉了揉额头，苦笑不已。

如果说Little Junior Sister 郭竹酒，可能是Pei Qian 的唯一苦手，而Pei Qian 是很多人的苦手。

那么Cui Dongshan 这边，当然就是当年的红棉袄little girl 了。

只不过此事，知道的人，不多。

Cui Dongshan 说道：“Mister 有事就先忙。”

Chen Ping 却只是转过身，继续坐着，就那么望向门外的细雨，轻声said with a smile ：“不忙。”

仙都山，旁支山头谪仙峰的山顶，扫花台。

Sui Youbian 与dísciple 程朝露传授过sword technique 和拳法，她就去山脚的青衣河落宝滩那边赏景。

于斜回在练剑间隙，走来这边散心，半路雨歇，就手持合拢的油纸伞，一路当剑耍。

两个Sword Immortal 胚子的Master ，都是Nascent Soul Realm sword cultivator ，只不过如今一个当官一个不当官。

于斜回将油纸伞放在崖畔栏杆上，脚尖点地，一屁股坐在栏杆上，看着那个小厨子练拳走桩，瞧着还挺有架势的。

等到程朝露练完拳，来到于斜回这边，小厨子犹豫了半天，还是没好意思开口。

于斜回双臂环胸，摇晃双腿，说道：“有屁就放。”

程朝露小声道：“歇会儿，我虽然也不太喜欢崔嵬，但是……”

不等程朝露说完，于斜回就有点不乐意了，抢过话头，没好气“崔嵬好歹是lower sect 掌律，这家伙心眼小，你说话注意点。”

自己不喜欢崔嵬，你凭啥？凭你小厨子还是个Lower Five Realms sword cultivator ？

歇会儿，这是白玄给于斜回起的绰号，还有程朝露的小厨子，纳兰玉牒的selfish calculations ，只是总比孙春王的那个“死鱼眼”好点，比上不足比下有余，于斜回他们一个个的也就默认了。

当然还有白玄自封的小小隐官，只是谁都不承认就是了。好像上次遇到那个“小隐官”陈李，白玄当时还吃瘪了。

程朝露习惯性揉了揉肥胖脸颊，哈了一声。

九个远游他乡的child 当中，Little Fatty 是脾气最好的那个。

不过上次在云窟blessed land ，程朝露生平第一次与人问拳，就赢得干脆利落，好像对方还是个Dragon Gate Realm cultivator ，虽说是那只大白鹅暗中动了手脚，却已经让child 们刮目相看，他们嘴上不说，可心里边都是有杆秤的。当时就连Cui Dongshan 都小有意外，不料还是个焉儿坏的小暴脾气，一动手就毫不含糊。

毕竟是生在Great Wall of Sword Qi 那么个地方，敢打能打，比姓什么，更重要。

太象街和玉笏街的高门子弟，不是sword cultivator 还好，如果是sword cultivator ，却在战场上出剑软绵，挣不来实打实的战功，最让人瞧不起。

程朝露cautiously 说道：“歇会儿，不管怎么说啊，反正我是瞧出来了，隐官大人对你Master ，可没有半点瞧不起，不对，是很瞧得起！至于为啥，我是不懂的，反正就是有这么个事儿。”

于斜回学隐官大人双手插手在袖，板着脸nodded ，小厨子总算说了句像样话。

要是瞧不起，那个崔嵬能在Unrestrained Mountain 落脚当供奉？名次还不低呢。如今更是lower sect 的掌律。

如果不是很瞧得起，能跟隐官大人和大白鹅同桌喝酒？他可看得真切，记得清楚，隐官大人与人主动敬酒的次数，崔嵬ranked second 。

程朝露说道：“不晓得虞青章和贺书柜，这会儿到哪里了。”

于斜回said ill-humoredly ：“俩没良心的东西，我管他们到哪里了。”

程朝露小声道：“算不算人各有志？”

于斜回嗤笑一身，indifferent expression 。

于斜回瞥了眼远处，那个见谁都没个笑脸的Sui Youbian ，已经走得很远了，这才压低嗓音问道：“小厨子，你跟我说句实话，嗯？”

“啥？”

“你Master ，与咱们隐官大人，嗯？！”

程朝露一头雾水，“啥意思？”

于斜回伸手出袖，拍了拍Little Fatty 的肩膀，学隐官的动作，再学隐官的说话口气，“朝露啊，你也就是傻人有傻福。”

听说在Great Wall of Sword Qi 的那个酒铺桌上，有个不成文的规矩，喊人名字不带”Ah” ，显得不亲近，就是外人，绝不是托。

程朝露laughed ，傻人有傻福，这话爱听得很呐。

于斜回突然跳下栏杆。

程朝露转头一看，原来是隐官大人来了。

于斜回提醒道：“不该说的别说！”

程朝露使劲nodded ，“晓得！”

Chen Ping 笑问道：“什么事情是不该说的？”

于斜回哀叹一声，“小厨子偷偷喜欢纳兰玉牒呢。”

程朝露瞬间目瞪口呆。

Chen Ping 咦了一声，故作惊讶道：“我还以为程朝露喜欢姚小妍呢。”

拿起手中并拢的油纸伞，拍打掌心，Chen Ping each minding their own business nodded and said ：“是了是了，难怪会花钱跟纳兰玉牒买书，原来是故意套近乎，程朝露you brat 可以啊，小小年纪就有这种perception ，以后不愁找不到媳妇。”

程朝露涨红了脸，根本不是这回事啊。

纳兰玉牒那个小财迷，确实是有个好习惯，隐官大人说的那些Gold Jade 良言，她都会一句一字抄录下来，程朝露担心自己会遗漏拳理，就需要经常跟她借阅“档案”，每看一页都要花钱，其实一页也没几个字，经常就只有一句话，纳兰玉牒还专门给程朝露捣鼓出了一本账簿，算利息的那种。

于斜回在一旁捧腹大笑。

于斜回笑过之后，小声道：“隐官大人，我可以跟你保证，我肯定会很快跻身Cave Mansion Realm ，不会比孙春王和白玄慢太多的。”

程朝露见歇会儿都立下军令状了，只得跟着说道：“隐官大人，我争取不垫底。”

其实要说心里话，反正九个peers 里边，怎么都会有个垫底的，是自己也不差啊。

何况隐官大人早就说了，笨人cultivation 就有笨法子。

Chen Ping said with a smile ：“天底下最难学问在努力，天底下最简单学问在结果。”

于斜回nodded 。

然后Chen Ping 眨眨眼，转头打趣Little Fatty ，“这句话，回头记得说给纳兰玉牒听啊，这不就有跟她聊天的机会了，别谢我。”

于斜回又开始捧腹大笑。

程朝露sighed ，要是被纳兰玉牒晓得了，自己会被打个半死吧。

Chen Ping 从袖中拿出四本书，一人两本。其中两部《Standard Sword Technique 》，一部《Shaking Mountain Fist 谱》，当然都是手抄摹本，Fist Manual 是给程朝露的，此外还有一本册子，则是给于斜回的，Chen Ping 也没有心声言语，开口said with a smile ：“于斜回，这本册子，记得好好保存，不要轻易给外人看，书上内容，不一定有用，你就当看杂书好了。”

于斜回的Life-Source Flying Sword ，恰好就是名为“破字令”。

因为夜航船的关系，在文庙那边，Chen Ping 对此专门翻了些书籍，有些心得，就拣选内容，记录成册。

两个child 郑重其事双手接过书籍后，与隐官大人道谢。

Chen Ping extend the hand ，摸了摸两个child 的脑袋。

于斜回将两册书放入怀中后，突然小声道：“隐官大人，听说你在江湖上认识了茫茫多的soulmate 。”

Chen Ping 心一紧，face doesn’t change ，微笑问道：“听谁说的？”

于斜回说道：“白玄啊，还能是谁，他说得有鼻子有眼的，程朝露可以作证。”

Little Fatty 开始装傻。

大概除了那个孙春王，谁都有点怵白玄。

之前在Unrestrained Mountain 的藩属山头拜剑台那边，白玄大爷对待练剑，是当真半点不上心的，倒是练拳比程朝露还卖力，经常念叨一番口头禅，“我白玄大爷还需要练剑吗，是跟着隐官大人来这边当Divine Immortal 的吗？当然不能够，我是学拳来了，省得以后混江湖，说我一个练sword cultivator 仙的，欺负他们舞枪弄棒打熬体魄的。”

偏偏白玄cultivation 惫懒至极，炼剑速度却极快，所以就喜欢每天双手负后，走门串户，“好为人师”，为其他人指点cultivation ，问题是白玄的三言两语，往往一语中的，还真有用。

Chen Ping said with a smile ：“好的，回头我就跟白玄好好聊聊。”

最后一大两小，三位sword cultivator ，一起在栏杆旁眺望远处风景。

雨后天晴，气象一新。

大地河川，仿佛masterless object 。雨后江山，好似金铁铸成。

风鸢渡船上边，除了high-spirited and vigorous 的二Steward 贾晟，每天只知道埋头算账的账房张嘉贞，还有无所事事的掌律长命，反而是她的嫡传dísciple ，selfish calculations 纳兰玉牒，在账房那边真能帮上忙，给张嘉贞打下手，记账算账，有板有眼。

当然最百无聊赖的那个，肯定是名义上为风鸢渡船guarantee and protect 的米Great Sword Immortal 了。

一来二去，米裕倒是跟柴芜这个little girl 混得挺熟，她好像钟情于云里来雾里去的渡船生活，没有在仙都山那边落脚，反而一直留在了渡船上边，cultivation 之余，就趴在窗台那边看看风景，或是绕着船头船尾走几圈。

little girl 独自喝酒，那是极有大家风范的。

跟她的cultivation 一样，没人教，天生的。

呲溜一声，nodded ，捻起一粒盐水花生，一盘拍黄瓜，一碟酱肉。

Master 说得对，当Divine Immortal 好，花钱吃肉，不用花钱。

所以要好好cultivation ，绝不能被Mountain Lord Sir 赶下船去，争取当个嫡传dísciple 。

柴芜就是有些犯愁，那个被Master 说成酒量与他有一拼的Mountain Lord Sir ，好像是觉得自己比较笨，不太适合cultivation ，估计这位山主老爷，也确实手头事情多，反正都不乐意亲自传授学问了，后来都是让那个小陌Mister 出马。

Chen Ping 让米裕近期帮着little girl 护道几分，毕竟在Qi Refiner 当中，sword cultivator 和talisman cultivator ，门槛都是出了名的高，最讲究一个God 赏不赏饭吃。

渡船一路南下，走了趟最南边的驱山渡。

驱山渡一处山岗之巅，有个Pure White Continent Liu Clan guest official 在那边驻守，名义上是帮着接引一些跨洲渡船，其实也没什么事情可做。

这个被誉为“徐君”的徐獬，才两百岁，就是一位Great Sword Immortal 了。

在家乡Golden Armor Continent ，徐獬曾经出剑阻拦过完颜老景的倒戈一击，在那之前，徐獬一直名声不显，直到乱世来临，才横空出世。

在山顶与徐獬下棋“小赌怡情”的王霁，是Jade Tablet Sect Ancestral Hall 供奉，有个监斩官的绰号。

王霁与Zhong Qiu 都是scholar ，一见投缘，还抽空下了几局棋，至于一旁观战的米裕与徐獬，双方则没什么可聊的，只是对视一眼，就再无下文。

在Jade Tablet Sect 的碧城渡，风鸢渡船这边，得知一事，空悬多年的神篆峰，刚刚有了个新主人，而且Jade Tablet Sect Ancestral Hall 没有任何异议，专门为这名sword cultivator 破例，不用他跻身Golden Core ，就得以提前入主神篆峰了。

因为那个child 如今才九岁，是位Dragon Gate Realm sword cultivator 。

听说拥有三把Life-Source Flying Sword 。

好像除了“Heaven’s Chosen Child ，应运而生”，也没什么道理可以解释了。

而Jade Tablet Sect 如今光是可以同时容纳数艘跨洲渡船的私人渡口，不包括Aquarius Continent lower sect 的真境宗在内，就多达三座，除了碧城渡，还有逆旅渡和远山渡，后两者都建立在藩属山头。

之后渡船北归，期间在燐河附近悬空停留。

Zhong Qiu 和米裕，联袂去了趟河边的那个摊子。

陶然在种夫子这边还算客气几分，见过几面，印象颇好。

这位Golden Core sword cultivator 就说先前来了拨人，自称同样来自仙都山，其中一个azure clothes Sabrewielder ，还说是崔immortal master 的Mister ，叫Chen Ping 。

此人在这边喝了碗酒，没闹啥幺蛾子，就是此人说话不着调，说自己是Aquarius Continent 的那个陈Sword Immortal 。

既然言语这么风趣，怎么不去天桥底下说书挣大钱呢。

米裕眼神怜悯，extend the hand ，想要拍拍这位Golden Core Sword Immortal 的肩膀，以示安慰。

陶然这些话，要是被Pei Qian 听见了，呵。

陶然肩头一歪，避开那只爪子，他跟这个自称余米的家伙半点不熟，两次见面都是一身white clothed 的，你当自己是Great Wall of Sword Qi 的齐廷济，还是跟齐Old Sword Immortal 同桌喝过酒啊？

再说了，陶然一看这厮的相貌气度，就是跟姜尚真差不多路数的风流胚子，碍眼得很。

米裕收起手，拿起桌上的一碗酒，抿了一口，喝得米Great Sword Immortal 直皱眉头，掺水了吧？

如今的陶然，确实不清楚一事，昔年Great Wall of Sword Qi ，几乎每次轮到齐廷济巡视城头，都会主动去那云霞中找米裕喝酒。

虽然双方年龄悬殊，realm sword technique 也算悬殊，却都是Great Wall of Sword Qi 公认的handsome man ，而且一个“齐上路”，一个“米拦腰”，很有得聊。

Zhong Qiu 笑着也没解释什么，只是与陶然叮嘱了一些注意事项。

陶然倒是没有什么不耐烦的，one after another 记下。

风鸢渡船在自家仙都山停靠后，米裕没能见着隐官大人，Cao Qinglang 说是Mister 在cultivation ，但是米裕得到了一个口信，隐官大人让自己这次返回Aquarius Continent 牛角渡，must 把白玄带来。

米裕就有点taking pleasure in other people’s misfortune 。

之后路过Pure Boundary Mountain Qinghu Palace ，老Divine Immortal 陆雍亲手交给Zhong Qiu 一只瓷瓶，请种夫子帮忙转交给陈山主。

说是最新炼制成功的一炉Seated Oblivion Pill ，可惜数量不多，只有三颗。

Zhong Qiu 抱拳致谢。

米裕只有一句话，陆老Divine Immortal 有无仇家。

陆雍大笑不已，连连摆手。

渡船离开Tree Leaf Continent 陆地，进入海域后，米裕闲来无事，bored to the point of being agitated ，就跳下风鸢渡船，controlling sword 北游，白虹掠空。

青萍峰，长春Small Paradise 内。

Chen Ping 在那座道山绛阙之中，拣选了一座阁楼最高处，门窗皆关闭。

室内一蒲团，一案几，一incense burner 。

桌上搁放了几本书，《Shaking Mountain Fist 谱》，《Authentic Book of Pills 》，《Standard Sword Technique 》，自己亲笔撰写、编订成册的《雷局》，以及一本得自北Entirely Reed Continent 那座Immortal Mansion 遗址的“破书”……

还有一大堆刻有文字的竹简。

Chen Ping 坐在蒲团上，双手掌心朝上，叠放在腹部，闭目凝神，缓缓Breathing Technique 。

如老僧入定，如True Monarch 坐忘，如Deity 尸坐。

Tree Leaf Continent 中部偏北，一处藩属小国境内。

临近黄昏时分，一个儒衫青年带着个fatty ，电闪雷鸣，暴雨急促，两人就在一处市井渡口停步，寒酸书生要了两碗冰糖藕粉。

fatty lifts the head ，raised high 碗，使劲晃了晃，真没剩下半点藕粉了，这才放下碗，埋怨道：“钟brother ，咱俩既然是在赶路，乘坐一条Immortal Family 渡船不更好。”

“庆典在明年立春那天，怎么都来得及。”

钟魁说道：“你今天要是愿意结账，我就掏钱请你坐渡船。”

fatty without the slightest hesitation 道：“船上风景千篇一律，无甚意思，还是两条腿赶路，碰到的山水见闻更多些，就像现在，不就又有neither too big nor too small 的新鲜事了。”

fatty 指了指铺子外边的水边，原来是有盐商雇佣了一条大船，停泊古祠下，wind and rain 看潮生。这场暴雨来得突然，走得也快，等到雨停后，竟然有个女子在楼船水窗那边，她持竿垂钓，环以臂钏，愈发衬托得她一截出袖胳膊白嫩如藕，fatty 是过来人，早早晓得瘦不如腴的道理，看了那女子几眼，就丢了魂，挪不开眼睛了，她每次收竿再抛竿，fatty 便跟着心颤几分。

可惜看那女子发髻样式，嫁为人妇了。若是个待字闺中的姑娘，fatty 这就登船，认岳丈去了。

至于对方是头易容有术的枯骨艳鬼又如何，fatty 还真不在乎，计较这个，俗不俗？

钟魁只是眼角余光打量了一眼楼船，说道：“你别去招惹了，就是个命苦的痴情女子，报完恩就走了。”

fatty 小声whispered ：“有你在，我敢招惹谁？之前在那小小县City God Temple ，才一进门，好家伙，你是有官身的，老子却是头solitary soul, unbound ghost ，差点被当场铐上枷锁，你看我说什么了？钟brother ，说真的，生前死后，就没遭受过如此extraordinary shame and humiliation ……再来一碗冰糖藕粉。”

钟魁与店伙计beckons with the hand ，又要了两碗藕粉，said with a smile ：“City God 爷事后不是跟你道歉了？”

休说天高无耳目，心亏暗室有神游。

给自己取名姑苏的fatty 又已经一碗藕粉下肚，看了眼钟魁还没动过勺子的那碗。

钟魁就将白碗推给fatty 。

而那艘楼船的垂钓女子，显然也察觉到了岸边铺子的书生和fatty ，只是她cultivation base 浅，看不出他们身份、realm ，她只能确定一事，莫不是见鬼了？

fatty 以心声问道：“这条江水不算短吧，就没个水神old river woman ？沿途两岸也没City God Temple ？这头女鬼，courage is not small 啊。”

钟魁说道：“那臂钏是件水府信物，三百里开外的上游有座大湖，Water God Mansion 君喜欢假扮撑船蒿工，卖藕换酒喝，与那个曾经将祭奠诗稿投水的中年盐商，算是旧识。”

fatty frowned ：“怎么看出来的？”

钟魁说道：“用眼睛。”

fatty 在钟魁掏钱结账的时候，问道：“到了那座仙都山，你说以我的cultivation base ，除了Chen Ping ，是不是就无敌手了？”

自己就算跌了境，不也还是位the immortal 。

钟魁said with a smile ：“到了就知道。”

fatty 试探性问道：“那么我跟陈brother 讨要个首席供奉、guest official 啥的，又不是Unrestrained Mountain ，只是个lower sect ，总不过分吧？”

钟魁瞥了眼fatty ，“自己问去，我不拦着。”

fatty 笑着提起手中空碗，手腕翻转，“肯定是易如反掌了。”

之后fatty 跟着这位半点不知享福的钟大爷，跋山涉水，一路风餐露宿，可怜一身好不容易养出的秋膘都要清减了。

赶在年关时分，他们来到了仙都山地界，山上府邸，山下渡口，处处大兴土木，尘土飞扬，fatty 挥挥手，slightly frowned ，“就这么点地盘，实在太寒碜了。等我见着了陈brother ，非得说道说道。”

在渡口那边，见到了entire group 聚在桌旁，对着稿纸比比划划。

桌边站着一个眉心有痣的white clothed youth ，一个扎丸子发髻的年轻女子，还有个黄帽青鞋的青年cultivator 。

fatty clicking one’s tongue in wonder ，呦呵，little girl ，乍一看不如何，再一看，模样还挺俊俏。

Pei Qian 见着了散步而来的钟魁，她快步走去，笑容灿烂，遥遥抱拳道：“钟账房！”

双方停步，钟魁伸手比划了一下高度，笑问道：“Little Heitan ？”

Pei Qian nodded ，眯眼而笑。

钟魁玩said with a smile ：“嫁人没？”

Pei Qian said with a smile ：“嫁个锤儿，不嫁人！”

钟魁haha 大笑，“也对，除了Chen Ping ，谁管得住你。”

遥想当年，小小年纪，就能耍得两个Fox Town 的捕快团团转。

那会儿的Little Heitan ，真是……一言难尽。

Cui Dongshan 和小陌来到这边。

钟魁抱拳道：“我叫钟魁，laugh 。”

Cui Dongshan 作揖道：“Unrestrained Mountain lower sect Cui Dongshan ，见过钟Mister 。”

小陌同样作揖道：“供奉小陌，见过钟Mister 。”

小陌斜瞥了眼那个Immortal Realm 鬼物的fatty ，是不是有点心术不正了，这家伙一门心思都在Pei Qian 那边，钟Mister 身边怎么有这么个不靠谱的贴身扈从。

fatty 以心声问道：“小陌供奉，看我干嘛？”

小陌笑答道：“来者是客，不干嘛。”

fatty 听出了unspoken implication ，tsk tsk 不已，“哎呦喂，差点吓死，不对，是吓活我了，得亏是客人，不然咱俩还得划出道来……练练手？”

小陌said with a slight smile ：“不敢，Unrestrained Mountain 和仙都山，都没有这样的待客之道。”

fatty 一脸惶恐，“小陌brother ，这就记上仇啦？”

小陌笑容不变，“哪敢与一位the immortal 称兄道弟。”

Cui Dongshan 看了眼钟魁，钟魁笑着摇头，咱们都别管这个喜欢作死的fatty 。

青萍峰那边，一袭azure clothes 现身，in an instant ，身形就落在了渡口这边。

无半点气机涟漪，也无丝毫sword qi 。

但是此人sword intent 、或者说道气之重，竟是让fatty subconsciously 往钟魁身边挪了一步。

Chen Ping 与钟魁各自抬手，重重击掌。

然后Chen Ping 望向一旁，笑问道：“钟魁，这位senior 是？”

钟魁还是老样子，焉儿坏，一下子就揭了身边fatty 的老底，“就是被弟媳妇砍过一件的那位水底senior 了。”

fatty 顿时心知不妙。

Chen Ping said with a slight smile ：“你好，我叫Chen Ping ，是Ning Yao 的男人。”
