Sword of Coming

Chen Ping and Ning Yao parted ways at the ten 2-foot archway. Chen Ping went to Mud Bottle Alley and knocked on the door and shouted, "Song Jixin, are you at home?"

The girl who was scooping up a scoop of water with a bottle gourd scoop in the kitchen room, hiccups one after another. After drinking the water, she suddenly refreshed a lot. She put down the spoon, walked out of the kitchen room, and ran to open the courtyard door. Replied with a sharp glance: "My Young Master is not here. Chen Ping, why are you knocking on the door, didn't you always stand in your yard and chat with us?"

Chen Ping was separated by a courtyard gate and said, "There is something."

After Zhi Cui opened the door, jokingly said: "Scarce and rare."

She glanced at Chen Ping's face and asked, "What do you want to do with my Young Master? If you are not in a hurry, I can help you with a word later. If you are in a hurry, you might have to go to the Supervision Office to find someone. You saw it with your own eyes. My Young Master has a good relationship with the new Superintendent Lord Song."

She noticed that Chen Ping 2’s feet were motionless, and she rolled her eyes and said, “I’m just coming in, what are you doing there?! My home is dragon's pool and tiger's den, or do I want to charge you a silver taels when I come in for a drink?”

Speaking of this, the girls each minding their own business covered their mouths and smiled, "For you, the latter must be more terrifying."

Chen Ping twitched the corner of his mouth, smiling far-fetched, and said softly: "Actually, I came to you. I shouted like that before because I was afraid Song Jixin might misunderstand."

Zhi Cui smiled knowingly and asked, "Let’s talk about it, what’s the matter? The ugly thing is the first thing. Neighbors belong to neighbors, and friendships return to friendship, but I am just a little maid under the fence of Mud Bottle Alley. Yes, it can’t help much. But if you borrow money from Chen Ping, you can solve the problem with money. Counting your good luck, I have a little bit of tricks.”

Chen Ping said with a bitter smile: "It's not really about money. I'll just tell you. Liu Xianyang was seriously injured on the bridge. The old shopkeeper of Yang Family Shop went to see it. Nothing."

Zhi Cui looked blank, "Why didn't I hear about this, who did Liu Xianyang provoke?"

Chen Ping helplessly said: "I am a foreigner from a place called Righteous Sun Mountain."

Zhi Cui asked tentatively: "Then you want to take care of the relationship, so that Liu Xianyang can find a piece of Feng Shui Treasure Land to bury? It is not difficult. I can ask my Young Master to talk to the supervisor. Then the government agency Steward concierge, etc., go to Peach Blossom Alley and ask the Old Man Wei to find a place. As long as it is not to occupy a hill in the imperial court, it is not difficult to come."

Chen Ping's already dark face is getting darker.

About Mo Zhi Cui also noticed that she was thinking about something wrong. She habitually bared her teeth and showed her neat and sharp teeth. She leaned back against the spring couplets on the wall, tilted her head, smiled playfully, and asked: "Chen Ping, you want me Repay your life-saving grace? But I am a maid, Yang Family Shop old shopkeeper can't help it, what can I do?"

After Chen Ping's battle between heaven and man, he slowly said: "Wang Zhu, I know you are not an ordinary person. That year, when I saw you at the door of my house, I knew you were different from us. Later, you were also the first to see Snake Gallstone is an unusual person. Looking back now, the eyes you looked at our neighborhood neighbors back then are essentially the same as those from outsiders looking at us."

The girl grinned, "Actually there are."

I not only look at you ordinary people, but also look at those Immortal Family cultivators, and I look down on them.

Only this sentence, Zhi Cui did not say it.

There are some truths. On her side, it was justified, but on the other side, it became supercilious and unruly.

Chen Ping asked: "I am looking for you to ask you if it is possible to rescue Liu Xianyang. I used a locust tree leaf and I could barely hang Liu Xianyang for the last breath, although it was not very useful. , But at least it is useful, so I want to ask, do you have locust tree leaf, especially the extra locust tree leaf?"

The girl pointed to her nose and asked, "Are you asking my Young Master Song Jixin if there is a locust tree leaf, or me, a little servant girl without a father or mother?"

Chen Ping fixed his eyes on the girl, blunt said: "Even if Song Jixin has it, he will not give it to me. I am asking you, Wang Zhu. If so, would you like to lend it to me? If not, do you know Know other ways to save Liu Xianyang?"

The girl who has always been called Wang Zhu, rubbed her chin with one hand, patted her abdomen with one hand, shook her head and said, "No, really no, I'm not lying to you, if you come earlier, maybe there are still a few left. Zhang locust tree leaf. As for other methods, of course not. I’m not Divine Immortal. How do I know the means to bring people back to life and make flesh and blood, right? Chen Ping, you can’t make others difficult, alas, I’m really wrong about you. You are not the same as them, you are not the kind of guy who repays favors."

Chen Ping still doesn't give up, "Really? No matter if I can do it or not, you can talk about it."

Zhi Cui shook his head, resolute and decisive said: "I don't have any, anyway!"

Chen Ping laughed, "I see."

The boy turned around and left, his thin silhouette disappeared in Mud Bottle Alley quickly.

The girl stood in the alley in front of her house, looking at the teenager's fading back, her expression was complicated, with a hint of sadness and anger, she said angrily: "The locust tree leaf that was finally obtained was so squandered by you. Now? Then you can go to death with Liu Xianyang. Anyway, you will die early and you will be overborn. If you are good luck, you can continue to be difficult brothers in your next life. It is better than those poor bugs who will not even exist in the next life."

The girl walked back to the yard, and when she crossed the threshold, she accidentally burped again and said with a smile: "A little bracing."

She suddenly speeded up her pace and rushed forward, stepped heavily on her foot, and then slowly squatted down, staring at the earth-yellow 4-footed snake with horns on her head, and reprimanded: "It's not difficult to borrow again, you guys. 5 little bastard, if you dare to credit renege on a debt in the future, see if I will stew your skin cramps!"

The 4-legged snake under the sole of servant girl's feet struggled hard, making slight neighs, as if begging for mercy.

After Chen Ping left Mud Bottle Alley, he ran all the way to the school, but was told by an old man in charge of cleaning the school that Mr. Qi went to the mountains outside the town with 3 guests from outside the town yesterday, saying he wanted to explore Odd, it takes at least 3 days to go back and forth. Chen Ping was full of disappointment. When he turned and left, the old man carrying the broom suddenly remembered something, and shouted to the young man, and said, "Yes, Mr. Qi told me before going there. If someone in Mud Bottle Alley is looking for him, Tell that young man, he has already said the truth, whether he is in the school today or not, it will not change the ending."

The boy seemed to have known this result a long time ago, his eyes were dim.

The stagnant water is very lifeless.

But the boy still bent down to thank him, and said, "Xie Xie Old Mister."

The old man quickly moved a few steps away, stood aside, and waved to say with a smile: "I can't afford the word'Mister'."

The old man saw the boy slowly leaving, and after walking a section of the road, he seemed to raise his arm and wipe his eyes.

The old man shook his head slightly, thinking of peers who were also about the same age, and the other two reading seeds, Song Jixin and Zhao Yao, look at this one, life experience, as different as heaven and earth.

Someone really proud of one's success, some people are troublesome.

Chen Ping went to Mud Bottle Alley, picked up the last bag of copper coins hidden in the clay pot, took 3 bags of coins, walked into Good Fortune Street, and found the Office of the Superintendent of Kiln Affairs.

When the concierge heard the introduction, he was a little confused. Song Jixin's neighbor in Mud Bottle Alley wanted to find Song Jixin and the supervisor Lord Song?

Chen Ping secretly handed him a gold fine copper coin that had been prepared a long time ago, without speaking, the porter looked down, weighed it, rubbed his fingers, and understood, but he was not in a hurry to express his stance.The boy soon handed over another golden money. The concierge laughed, but did not take it. He said, "Since I am a sensible person, I will be relieved to recommend it to you. Otherwise, because you have lost this errand, I will be really taken aback. Yes. Take this copper coin in your hand first. If Steward promises you to enter the government office, then give it to me. If you don’t agree, I am helpless. Just treat this copper coin as no match for me. What do you think? "

Chen Ping is nodded hard.

It didn't take long for the elderly Steward to come with the porter. The porter gave the boy a wink and hinted that he should not take out a coin of 10000000 million at this time to openly accept bribes, which is not a small crime.Fortunately, the boy didn't do that stupid thing, just followed Steward to the back hall of the government office.

The concierge sighed, a little strange, why Steward nodded when he heard that he was the boy of Mud Bottle Alley surnamed Chen.When was the threshold of the government office so low?

The concierge was somewhat guilty. In fact, he just saw Steward. In the words, both overt and underside, he persuaded Steward to do more than less. Don’t let the young man enter the office, but he didn’t say it directly. I believe that the old Steward is in the public cultivation. After so many years of profound cultivation, I must know everything well.

The selfish calculations that the young concierge originally typed, of course, wanted to take a coin for nothing, without risking it, and taking it with peace of mind.

Now he only hopes that the poor boy can't cause trouble.

In the main hall of the government office, the tall man in the white robe was sitting on the main seat and was drinking tea.

Song Jixin sits on the guest chair on the left, playing with a bamboo folding fan with one hand, opening and closing it constantly, smiling at the straw-shoe youngster being brought in.

The black chair and the snow-white robe are in sharp contrast.

Steward withdrew, the man in the seat put down his teacup and said with a smile to the boy: "Chen Ping, just sit down. We have actually met at Mud Bottle Alley before, but I didn't recognize you at the time, otherwise it was early It's time to say hello."

Song Jixin thought it was a little funny, only he knew this man, and when he called himself "me", he was obviously a little slurred.

The teenager sits on the chair opposite Song Jixin.

The man asked straight to the point: "Chen Ping, are you here about Liu Xianyang being injured?"

The boy stood up and said, "I hope Lord Song can severely punish the murderer of Righteous Sun Mountain, not just expel him."

The man laughed, "In fact, the town is a'unreachable place', which means that there is no dynasty law here. Originally, the supervising officer is more embarrassed and has no right to intervene in local affairs. In the small town, It has always been a custom that the people do not raise officials and do not investigate, whether it is the death of a maidservant in the big door, or the fight of a small door to hurt people, and there is no custom of coming to this supervision office to beat drums and complain, so Chen Ping you It’s the wrong temple with the pig’s head and the wrong Bodhisattva."

The man's words and deeds were gentle and pleasant, without any arrogant gestures on his body.

Chen Ping took out 3 bags of copper coins and put them on the high stool next to the chair, and then said to the man with a composure expression: "Lord Song, I know you are very difficult to deal with, I want to know if you can save Liu Xianyang, Even if it can't be saved, can you give him justice and prevent the murderer from killing people, as long as you leave the town, it seems like nothing is left."

The man said with a laugh: "I'm very difficult to deal with? That girl in your black clothes told you? Well, it shows that her martial arts talent is very good, even better than your friend named Liu Xianyang. Let me tell you the truth, I can only kill people, and I am really bad at saving people. Besides, why should I break the 1000-year-old rule for a young man with only one side?"

When the man said this, he pointed to the three bags of copper coins, "Liu Xianyang without Treasure Armor Sword Scripture, his life is not worth so much money. As for wanting to buy my favor, the money is far from enough. The Great Li Dynasty and Righteous Sun Mountain have a fight, just for 3 bags of money? Absolutely impossible, and it will be a joke of the entire Eastern Aquarius Continent. Chen Ping, you may not understand this remark temporarily, but in the future if there is An opportunity, if you go for a walk, you will understand that this is the truth."

Chen Ping clenching one's teeth and said: "Lord Song, can you tell me how to shoot? Even if you think I can't die, Lord Song can talk about it."

The man didn’t think he was showing any clues. The powerful Vassal King had a look of surprise in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Chen Ping, I didn’t despise you, deliberately make things difficult for you, on the contrary, I think you are interesting. , I am willing to spend time, calmly reasoning with you, doing business, understand?"

Chen Ping nodded.

Song Jixin sits in an inelegant posture, sits cross-legged on a chair, and gently pats his knees with the folded fan.

watch the fires burning across the river, a matter of no concern to oneself hang up high.

Song Changjing doesn’t care about Song Jixin’s inattention. Above the small town, this Vassal King has so much information and only loses to Qi Jingchun. He finally lay bare the truth with one remark. The secret: “Chen Ping, you don’t need too much information. Feeling guilty and mistakenly thinking that your friend died because of you, because Liu Xianyang has been in a dead end long ago. As long as this boy refuses to hand over Sword Scripture, it can only be a dead knot, because Righteous Sun Mountain will definitely want him to die. No matter whether it is Qi Jingchun or Master Ruan, no one can stop it. It's not that no one has played that Old Ape, but the price to pay is too great and not worth it."

The man took a sip of his tea and said leisurely: "Chen Ping, have you ever thought about why even you, who deserved the most ancestral blessing, have a locust tree leaf, but Liu Xianyang innate talent root bone is so good, I didn’t get a piece of locust tree leaf. Have you ever thought about this?"

Chen Ping said: "Excuse Lord Song."

The straw-shoe youngster put away 3 bags of copper coins, and left to the superintendent in front of him.

Although Song Changjing didn't hold her back, she actually got up to see him off in person. Song Jixin just wanted to stand up reluctantly, but saw this Uncle shook his head slightly, and sat back down, leaning comfortably on the back of the chair.

When reaching the threshold, Song Changjing said without warning: "There are two things that I can do, but I can't do it. So as long as you make one of them, I can consider helping you teach that Old Ape. "

The boy stopped quickly, turned around, his face was solemn.

The man said indifferently: "One thing is to find an opportunity to kidnap the Righteous Sun Mountain girl next to Old Ape, mess her mind, and force Old Ape to stay in the town forcibly. Another thing is to secretly cut down the Old Locust Tree at night. Tree, and then pull out the iron chain of the iron well. You can do both things, or you can do only one thing. If one thing is done, I will help you seriously injure the murderer and do both at once. Yes, I will kill Righteous Sun Mountain Old Ape for you."

Song Changjing smiled and promised: "Say what you say, never break your promise!"

Then the powerful Great Li Dynasty Vassal King said an unfathomable mystery, "Chen Ping, I believe you can feel a sentence true or false."

The young man left silently.

Song Changjing didn't see the loud words of the young man slapped his chest, but Song Changjing felt normal. Standing at the door with his back to Song Jixin inside the house, he asked, "You know him well, do you think he will do it?"

Song Jixin shook his head and said: "Not good said. If under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult to ask him to do something against his will, but for Liu Xianyang, it would be a little bit hanged again."

The man stood with his hand in his hand, looked to the sky, and asked: "Assuming that the teenager is really a surprise, this king would take this opportunity to intervene in it. Whether it is a friendship with Righteous Sun Mountain or an alliance with Wind Thunder Garden, it is naturally only desirable. First, it is inevitable that you will even have grudges with the other party. This is compared with the king standing by and letting the Great Li Dynasty and the two forces remain unsatisfactory and never interact with each other. For me, Great Li Dynasty, do you think Which one is better?"

Song Jixin stood up, slapped the palm of the other hand with a folding fan, paced slowly, and said after thinking, "The latter will be chosen in the peaceful and prosperous times, and the former will be chosen in the troubled times."

Then the boy said with a smile: "Regardless of whether Heaven and Earth outside the town, whether it is a prosperous or chaotic world, it seems that at least you have made your own choice in Uncle."

Song Changjing said with a smile: "Martial Artist of my generation, what do you do in a peaceful and prosperous age? Do you want to be a peaceful dog for Scholar to take care of the nursing home?"

Song Changjing turned his head and looked at the boy with stiff expression, "This king has already seen that this boy is your true heart knot, and it is difficult for you to untie it in a short time. Once you leave this heart knot and leave the town, This will not be conducive to the subsequent cultivation. So you can see with your own eyes how a pure heart originally pure teenager became all-in-one and cheesy. When the time comes, you will feel stunned with this kind of person, Very meaningless."

Song Jixin opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't refute anything, and finally fell into thought.

The man walked back to the house, sat on the main seat, and sipped the cup of tea with his head up. "The most important thing is that this king plays such boring tricks, except for finding a crappy reason to fish in troubled water. , I also want you to understand a truth, on the next cultivation path you are going to take, anyone can be your enemy... For example, your pro Uncle, I Song Changjing."

The young man was stunned.

Song Changjing said with a sneer: "Because the heart is stunned, if it is not pulled out by hand, it will cause no end of trouble, such as wasteland weeds, Then The Spring Breeze Will Blow And Give Life To It Once More."

Song Changjing sneered and contemptuously said: "Song Jixin, who is about to become the prince of the Great Li Dynasty, is full of grief and anger, but what can you do now? So you feel that you are better than Chen Ping, who is played with applause. Where to go?"

Song Jixin stared at the serene-faced man, and the boy grabbed the five fingers of the folding fan, showing his bones.

The man sits on the chair, his eyes are deep, and he looks out of the house, as if he is muttering to himself: "The more people you see in the future, the more interesting things you will find. There is a reward for good and evil. An angry and blood splattered 3 feet, what gifted and beautiful women, lovers will eventually become married, are all conjectured by the junk people. So, your own fists must be hard, rely on this king? rely on your biological parents? I advise you as soon as possible If you die of this heart, or taking you out of the town is like taking your corpse to Chaotic Burial Mound, the home of the emperor, so it’s not conceited."

The teenager was sweating and sat down in a chair.

Although the young man hid his self-satisfaction deeply after learning his true identity, there was nothing strange in dealing with people in the government office, but in the eyes of Vassal King Song Changjing, as if he was holding a demon mirror, he saw a head just turned into The charm of human form.So it can be wiped out between talking and laughing.

Song Changjing looked into the distance, his gaze seemed to reach the southernmost point of Eastern Aquarius Continent, to the distant Old Dragon City.

For some reason, the Vassal King remembered a sentence, "The human heart is a mirror. The cleaner it is originally, the more untainted by even a speck of dust, the less it can withstand scrutiny and temptation."

Song Changjing feels that the Scholar in the temple, though babbling about the gods and hate ghosts, sometimes the Great Dao Truth that they said, the Martial Artists who carried the knife, really lived a thousand years and couldn't think of it.

Song Changjing put away his thoughts and stretched out his fingers to the south, such as holding a spear, showing off one's ability, "Song Jixin, if you think this king is wrong today, you can, but bear with it, only we will come to Old Dragon City, both of us. If you change your seat, this king will consider whether you should listen carefully!"

Song Jixin, the prince of the Great Li Dynasty, has returned to normal, said with a smile: "wait and see."

At the gate of the official office, the straw-shoe youngster handed the concierge the second coin as scheduled.

----

Ten 2 feet archway building, Chen Ping saw the silhouette of the girl in black and ran quickly.

Ning Yao stood under the plaque of "Furious Bullfight" and asked, "How is it?"

Chen Ping shook his head and said, "All 3 people have been found. Two of them met. Mr. Qi couldn't see it, but I knew the answer at first."

The gentleman does not save.

Mr. Qi indeed said it before.

Ning Yao frowned and said nothing.

Chen Ping then said a word of caution to the girl, and began to rush away.

I went to the Yang Family Shop first, and used a gold and bronze coin to buy a lot of medicine bottles, ointments and medicine ingredients for the treatment of bruises and internal injuries with an old man who knows his roots. How to use and suffer these things, young familiar, dragon kiln Porcelain burning is a work of backing food. There are often various accidents. Although Old Man Yao is not pleasing to the eye, it can only be regarded as the half apprentice's Chen Ping, but he has to admit that this boy has neat legs and feet. As well as spending money, Chen Ping did it, such as buying medicines and decoctions for the wounded in the kiln.

Chen Ping returned to Mud Bottle Alley's ancestral home. After closing the door, he started to decoct the medicine. It was a medicine recipe for treating internal injuries. Waiting for the fire, he laid a white but still clean clothes on the table. The straw-shoe youngster, who was torn into straps and was known for his stinginess, didn’t feel any pain at this time. Then besides tying the pressing knife that Ning Yao lent him to his arm, the boy was still in his calf. And on the wrist, there are layers of thin strips of cotton cloth tied up.

Chen Ping took off the homemade wooden bow on the wall, hesitated for a moment, and still gave up carrying it temporarily. Instead, he retrieved the slingshot and a bag of stones from the windowsill.

The reason why he knew he couldn't do it, and didn't regret hitting the wall three times in a row, this is the unique strength of the boy.

If you don't try it, you will be unwilling to be reconciled. It's like a teenager at the smithy, asking the old shopkeeper to try again for the last time. It's the same reason.

First look for Zhi Cui with a strange identity, hoping to find a glimmer of survival for Liu Xianyang.It was a fluke to find Mr. Qi again, hoping that he could uphold justice, and finally find Ning Yao's so-called Martial Dao Grandmaster, the superintendent Lord Song, who made it clear that he would go bankrupt and make a deal.

As a teenager at first, he thought very clearly, so he was very disappointed at this time, but he didn't feel how heartbreaking.

In fact, Vassal King Song Changjing and his neighbor Song Jixin don’t understand Chen Ping at all.

Some things must be done even after death.But there are some things that you can't do even if you die.

The young man squatted in the corner, waiting quietly for the medicine soup to come out. This pot of medicine was very weird. It had no other purpose but to relieve pain. There used to be a man in the dragon kiln kiln who suffered from a strange disease and simmered in bed. After most of the day, half-dead or not, the key is that the whole person’s face and limbs were distorted in pain. Later, Yang Family Shop gave such a prescription. In the end, the man died soon, but he did not go. It was not painful, and he even had the strength to sit up, and after confessing his last words, he was also supported by Old Man Yao to take a last look at the mouth of the kiln.

Chen Ping thinks he should use it.

Seeing that there were still some rags on the table, the teenager took off the dilapidated straw sandals on his feet, took out a pair of brand-new shoes that he was reluctant to wear, brought the clay pot, and took out the broken porcelain pieces.

About half an hour later, the teenager who had done everything opened the door of the house and walked out of Mud Bottle Alley quietly.

As dusk approaches, the sun is no longer dazzling, and there are layers of fire clouds on the horizon, extremely gorgeous.

The straw-shoe youngster walks towards Good Fortune Street.

There are no passers-by on the Qingshiban street, and the young man walks alone.
