Sword of Coming

Liu Xianyang quickly ran back with a basket on his back. Chen Ping was watching the digging and transporting soil by the well. Liu Xianyang kicked Chen Ping’s ass, kicking the straw-shoe youngster and almost a dog eating shit. Looking back, I saw that he was tall. After he was young, he didn't care. Liu Xianyang carefree said: "It's done. Master Ruan said that these days, let me obediently and honestly don’t run around here, dig wells during the day, and strike iron at night. After a decade and a half, I will even consider him the first place in the town. There is a discipline called Opening Mountain Disciple. I brought you a basket to help you touch the stone, touch it from the smithy, and touch the bridge until it reaches the bridge. I’ve agreed in advance, Yellow Ox Back I can’t help you with the puddle in that place. Master Ruan said that I would break my leg when I dared to cross two places north and west of the covered bridge these days."

Liu Xianyang hugged the straw-shoe youngster's neck and whispered: "Master Ruan said that the town will not lose things, and also said that those outsiders, following Shouyi's very strange rules, have been fair traders. , I have also been a swindle liar, even picking up tattered beggar, but I can’t be a sneaky thief and thief. Here, God will not snooze or close his eyes, just staring at us, you Saying that frail people are not fretful, anyway, I am fretful."

Liu Xianyang suddenly threatened: "Surnamed Chen's, you can continue to live in my house, but don't wait for me to go back, you have sold my Treasure Armor!"

Chen Ping punched Liu Xianyang in the chest, and the tall young man quickly let go, rubbing vigorously for a few times before relieving his breath, cursing: "The little hairy monkey like a thin bamboo pole, how can it be so powerful! Could it be with Old Man Yao? Take a 3 li mountain road every 5 turns 100, or burn wood and charcoal in the deep mountains for a few months, will you be able to gain strength to death?"

Chen Ping said with a smile: "Anyway, with a basket of stones on my back, I can run back to the town before you."

Liu Xianyang squinted his eyes and said, "Then who are we two holding our breath under the water for longer?"

Near the river bank, Chen Ping bent over and rolled up his pants, saying without thinking: "I won't do things that are more than a breath."

Before entering the water, Chen Ping pulled out a lot of spring grass mats by the riverside and put them in the baskets. He also babbled that after every 20 stones he picked up, he would put more grass.I was so annoyed that Liu Xianyang wanted to throw the basket behind him to Chen Ping. The latter refused to agree, saying that if he replaced the basket with his own, according to Liu Xianyang's irritable nature, he would definitely throw stones into the basket directly, and he would feel distressed. Liu Xianyang almost picked up on the spot, these colorful stones, in the last ages, are always worthless. How come you Chen Ping is so squeamish?Dare to dislike Uncle Liu's technique for not being gentle enough?

Only in the end, the tall boy was still reluctant to touch the rocks in the groundwater. Chen Ping and one of them left and right, planning to sweep the stream thoroughly.The stream here is still knee-high and low, and some places where the water level is slightly higher will reach waist level. Occasionally there are small puddles that are high and the others. They are mostly places where huge rocks gather. When they reach these places, Liu Xianyang shows off his skills. , First took the basket off and handed it to the straw-shoe youngster who was squatting on the boulder. He dived to the bottom in one breath and took out what he wanted from the cracks in the huge monster’s large rocks, or even the stacks of rocks. Snake Gallstone.

Of course Chen Ping can also do it, but it will be very hard, time-consuming and labor-intensive far more than Liu Xianyang.

I didn’t touch the bridge. The basket was full of 7 points. Among them was a dark green Snake Gallstone. Liu Xianyang touched the bottom of a deep pit three times before finally touching it. It was as big as a palm. There are dots of golden stars, wavy textures of water, and the stone is very heavy. When Chen Ping rubs his hands, there is a sense of sparkle and sharpness.

As long as it is not blind, you know that this stone is very unusual.

The last two teenagers sat side by side on a boulder in the stream. Liu Xianyang propped his hands on the rock, looking at the slowly flowing stream, and asked: "Chen Ping, do you want to leave the town in the future?"

Chen Ping replied: "I haven't thought about it for the time being. You have to be rich when you go far. And after you leave, no one will help to clean up the house. What if 10000 collapses? And on the head of my father and mother's grave, I also need to pick up weeds often."

Liu Xianyang helplessly said: "Why do you always think about so many useless things, it's boring, it's no wonder Song Jixin said that you are the life of Ghost Wall. You can't go out forever in such a big place."

Chen Ping turned his head and smiled and asked, "Do you remember what I told you last time, it was the tree."

Liu Xianyang said ill-humoredly: "A tree grows on the tomb, and it is worth to make a fuss about nothing? Besides, it is also the tomb of another Old Ancestor by Chen Clan, and it has nothing to do with your Chen Ping. !"

Sitting cross-legged, Chen Ping said softly, "I don't know if there are not many people in Surnamed Chen outside the town."

Liu Xianyang dismantled the platform and said: "I don't know outside the town. I only know that in the town, surnamed Chen only has 3 cats and puppies, and apart from you, it seems that all of them belong to the four surnames and ten families Give birth to children, the status of slaves for generations. The funny thing is that these people are in the house as cows and horses, bowing their heads and bowing, but as long as those mansion children are out, they immediately change faces when they see everyone. They like the dog to look down on people. So. Old Man Yao is right, if you Chen Ping will give them someday, then you Chen Clan who did not move out of the town will be wiped out."

According to Old Man Yao, the first surnamed Chen had two branches in the town, but one of them moved out very early. The Chen Ping one had been prosperous before, but this "before" was too much. After a long time, even Old Man Yao can't tell how many 2 years, 100 years, 500 years?Is it 800 years old?Later, it was divided into several rooms, and the population became scarcer. The luck was probably all taken away by the one who moved out. Burning Incense was often broken, so that many graves were gradually left unattended, and most of the graves were located. The tops of the hills were successively sent by the Imperial Court to order them to become forbidden hills.

Old Man Yao took Chen Ping into the mountain for the last time. When he passed one of the hills, he pointed out a place to show him and said that it was the burial place of another Old Ancestor of Chen Clan. The tomb was on that hill and the feng shui was good.As for Chen Ping, Old Man Yao said that Divine Immortal could not be found. In the past 100 years, the descendants of this surnamed Chen have been good-for-nothing. They are all ruined, except that they have not given 4 The ten tribes who are surnamed as slaves are worthless.

Chen Ping once secretly searched for the head of the Chen Clan Old Ancestor, but when he got there, it was just weeds. He also saw many foxes, but didn’t see the head of the grave. There was a tree that the straw-shoe youngster did not recognize. Not tall, much shorter than the Old Locust Tree in the town.

Overgrown with weeds, hares and foxes, lonely and lonely, and a tree alone.

Chen Ping shook his head and said, "Before my mother left, she asked me to swear that she can be a beggar. Even if she starves to death, she is not allowed to give to those big families."

Liu Xianyang blurted out and said: "Then before your mother died, didn't you have to swear that you should definitely not be an apprentice at dragon kiln?"

The straw-shoe youngster's face was sullen, and he did not refute or fly into a rage out of humiliation after being exposed.

Liu Xianyang is a little guilty, and he is not the kind of temper that is willing to say "I'm sorry" after doing something wrong. He had to pretend that nothing happened, and stood up and said, "Go away, dig a well, yes, I will talk to Master again. Ruan grind it, and try to let you come here as a part-time apprentice. When the time comes, it’s easy to touch the rocks.”

Chen Ping said: "Don't worry, wait for those two groups of people to leave the town with all their heart, and I will help you take care of your house during this time.

Liu Xianyang asked curiously: "Why do you think that I can get away with Master Ruan by apprenticeship with Master Ruan?"

Chen Ping thought for a while, and he was not sure: "It's like rain suddenly, you have to find a roof to hide, right?"

Liu Xianyang turned his head and looked at the Sword Furnace Weapon Shop, "Who the hell do you say Master Ruan? Doesn't it look like such a powerful person? Can you suppress those two groups of people?"

Chen Ping comforted: "you can't judge a person by appearance."

Liu Xianyang turned his head and said, "You Chen Ping looks like a poor man, so are you a poor man?"

Chen Ping grinned, nothing to say.

Liu Xianyang stood up and asked, "Would you like to help you carry your back to the bridge?"

Chen Ping shook his head and said: "No, it's not heavy."

"Remember to return the basket to me next time."

After Liu Xianyang said these words, he jumped off the boulder and walked quickly in the stream, splashing countless water.

Chen Ping carried the basket on his back, cautiously got off the boulder, and after going ashore, slowly walked towards the covered bridge.

After Chen Ping walked a section of the road, he heard a sound of footsteps behind him, turned his head and looked at Liu Xianyang.

In the warm sunshine of the early spring, the tall youngster grabbed the straw-shoe youngster's basket, picked it up by himself, turned his head and sarcastically said: "From a distance, you are carrying the basket, like a grasshopper carrying a big stone. It's really pitiful. Be kind and help you carry it to the covered bridge."

In the spring breeze, two teenagers walked together.

"Surnamed Chen, if I succeed in my art studies in the future, I must go out and have a look, marry a better-looking wife than Zhi Cui, drink the most expensive wine, live in the biggest house, and ride the fastest horse! "

"I'm going to see a mountain as high as the sky, and a river that is infinitely larger than our creek."

"In short, I, Liu Xianyang, will definitely not stay here all my life waiting to die."

In the spring breeze, the tall youngster was looking forward to the future, and the straw-shoe youngster chewed on the Grass Root, one talking and the other listening.

Chen Ping carried a basket of stones back to Liu Xianyang's yard. He still picked out the most favorite stones and took them to the side house. The rest remained at the stove.After locking the door of the house and yard, he ran to Mud Bottle Alley and went to his yard. He saw the girl in black sitting in the yard basking in the sun. After Chen Ping greeted him, he started to decoct the medicine.

The sound of chopping and slashing was heard constantly from the yard next door. This is very strange. Although Song Jixin has lived a life without father and mother in the eyes of outsiders, he has been in good food and clothing for so many years, and even has a wealth of money. The Master has a good life. Compared to the direct descendants of the ten races, it is indeed not bad. There are 4 treasures in the study, the desk is fun, the study is clear, and many luxury objects that Chen Ping has never seen or heard of, every 4 and 3, the same goes Song Jixin moved in the house.In fact, Song Jixin has never really had any dirty or physical work. The pickles are too stinky. Song Jixin does not allow servant girl Zhi Cui to do it. Chopping wood is too tiring. Song Jixin directly buys a bundle of matches every year. Wo, bags of fine charcoal.

When Chen Ping brought medicinal soup to the girl in black, the yard next door was still chopping firewood intermittently. When Chen Ping was drinking the medicine in Miss Ning, he couldn’t help but walked to the courtyard wall and looked on tiptoe and found Zhi Cui carrying The kitchen knife is cutting "a person". It is an embryo made of wood. Chen Ping has been burning porcelain for many years. He has seen a lot of good things, and the trees he has chopped down are countless, so you can see the approximate depth at a glance. The wood is like jade in color. It must be a very old object, and the puppet is covered with densely packed red and black spots. The puppet has been chopped and chopped by Zhi Cui, and it has been chopped into many pieces.

The girl suddenly turned her head and found Chen Ping, her face covered with sweat and stains, she raised her arm, wiped her face, and forced said with a smile: "You are back, I wanted to borrow a hatchet from you earlier , But the guest in your house is unwilling to open for me."

Chen Ping froze for a moment, "I'll get you a hatchet. Don't use too much force at first. The hatchet is not as good as a kitchen knife. It slips easily. Don't hurt yourself."

The girl sat on the small bench, exhausted, and waved: "I know, get it quickly."

Chen Ping retrieved the hatchet. The girl was already standing by the courtyard wall and asked with a smile: "Do you know what it is?"

Chen Ping shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Zhi Cui did not give an answer, turned around and continued sitting on the small bench, hacking hard.

Her unfamiliar and stagnant movements and all sorts of thankless mistakes made Chen Ping very anxious, but since she didn't ask for help, Chen Ping stopped being sentimental. Turning around, she found Miss Ning already not in. In the yard, Chen Ping remembered something, walked quickly to the house, put something on the table, and placed it opposite the girl in black.

It was a piece of Snake Gallstone, which just happened to be held in the palm of one hand, like a piece of frozen and solidified honey, with fine texture and very positive color.

Ning Yao is a little strange.

Chen Ping said with a smile: "Miss Ning, for you."

The black-clothed girl who couldn't leave her body suddenly asked, "Do you like this one the most?"

Chen Ping was a little embarrassed, "This piece...probably ranked fourth, the best 3 pieces, I have hidden it."

She took the stone, twisted her fingers, and raised it above her head. The light entered the room through the window and was reflected on the stone.

She raised her head, squinted her eyes, and carefully observed the subtle lines of the stone.

She looked at the stone.

The teenager looked at her.

----

In the middle of the night, a teenager sneaked into Mud Bottle Alley, like a wild cat walking in the night, silently, and quietly came to Gu Can's yard. He found the big water tank placed in the corner of the yard. After squatting down, he found the original pile Snake Gallstone, who got neat and tidy, has been picked up by 7 and 8, as if this person knew the value of the stone earlier than Chen Ping. Gu Can is the only freak in the small town who likes to collect Snake Gallstone, and no matter how much he finds in the creek, he only takes one piece home each time. Child only picks the most pleasing stone, accumulated over a long period of time , Saved the fifty-sixty stone, which he used to cover the gap at the bottom of the tank.

After Chen Ping removed many of the dried-up Snake Gallstones, he saw that there were no excavation marks at the bottom of the water tank, which was relaxed.

He started to plow the soil with right hand little by little, and finally when he touched the butter paper, his heart shook and slowed down.

Finally, he took out the object wrapped in butter paper, which looked like a book.

After hiding in his arms, Chen Ping filled the soil back, and carefully looked at the Snake Gallstones. The remaining stones were all "Death", compared to the two newly picked stones Chen Ping picked up from the creek. Whether it is color, texture or weight, they are completely different. The stones in front of me are like lifeless old people, while those picked up by Chen Ping are like newborn babies, full of vigor.

Chen Ping thought for a while and planned to leave Mud Bottle Alley from the direction of his house.

When he walked to the door of Song Jixin's home, he heard a creak and the door opened. Chen Ping had to knock on his door and shouted, "Miss Ning, are you asleep? I'll come back to get something."

The lights in the house soon turned on, and the girl in black opened the courtyard door to Chen Ping.

Next door, servant girl Zhi Cui walked out of the house slowly, and when she arrived in the yard, she saw Chen Ping's shadowy side, holding a large yellowed book in her arms, she shook her head and shook her head, tsk tsk tsk in her mouth, like a coincidence Caught a pair of cheating couple.

She walked alone in Mud Bottle Alley, bouncing around.

Her golden-yellow heavy pupils looked extremely cold and holy in the alleys of night.

Let the slender and graceful girl be like a dragon walking in a narrow stone crevice, as if as long as she walks out of the alley, she has to go to the Dragon Transformation.

----

Although Ning Yao let Chen Ping into the yard or even the house, her face was very ugly. She sat at the table with one arm resting on the scabbard, and her fingers tapped the knife handle lightly.

After Chen Ping confirmed that Zhi Cui had walked into the alley, he explained embarrassingly: "I went to Gu Can's house to get things, but she was about to go out. I had to come here to hide, Miss Ning, you 10000000 don't be too much miss you."

She asked: "What is it?"

Chen Ping hesitated and took out the butter paper bag, "I don't know now."

She turned around and said, "You open it yourself first, and then decide if you want to let me know."

Chen Ping nodded, sitting across from her desk, opened layers of butter paper, and mud and debris rolled on the desk, and the last one indeed revealed an ancient book.

There are only 2 characters on the cover of an ancient book. Chen Ping only recognizes one of them, Shan.

He put the ancient book on the table, turned around, pushed towards the girl in black, and asked curiously: "Miss Ning, what does this word read?"

The girl turned around again, glanced down at her eyes, and said, "Shake."

The title of the book is Shaking Mountain.
