Chapter 233 The dust has settled(1/2)

(The cold has finally cured, so let everyone wait for a long time.)

A voice with respect and awe rang behind her back, "Young Master Chen, what's going on?"

It turned out that it was Liu Taishou who came to his senses.

Regarding the matter of landscape gods and demons, Liu Gaohua, the son of Liu Taishou, could only learn from the story of a literati and strange novels. Liu Taishou was not the case. After all, he was a high-ranking official in charge of the people's livelihood of a county, and Rouge County was also the top county in the country. There were many secrets, and Liu Taishou had known a lot of inside stories. At least the matters of the city gods and mountain gods and water gods in the prefectures and counties, Liu Taishou must be clear about the matters of the city gods and mountain gods and water gods. Someone from the court's ritual department would explain the mysterious ways to these local officials.

Chen Ping'an was slightly calmer and didn't want to raise a sword gourd. He turned his head and looked at Liu Taishou. Chen Ping'an wanted to speak but stopped.

His victory was thrilling. In fact, after he fought in the City God Palace and painted talismans for girls, his body was already at the end of his strength. Although he controlled two flying swords of special origin, he did not need to consume the so-called spiritual energy of the Qi training man. This is true, because he was the two little ancestors who "asked" the sword gourd to help him subdue demons and eliminate demons. His mind was connected and his divine intentions were traction. Therefore, the killer weapon of the Snake Madam, carefully prepared "heavy snow-covered gates" was meaningless to Chen Ping'an. However, if the 15th day of the lunar month, it would still consume Chen Ping'an's spirit and mental strength. If the assassin of the Buying House who claimed to be the surname Dou was not scared away, Chen Ping'an would most likely be removed from his head or even both sides were injured. Then, Chen Ping'an not only broke the Bridge of Changsheng, but even the path of pure martial artists would become shattered from now on because of the damage to the original body and soul of the body.

Chen Ping'an didn't know how to explain it for a while, too many secrets were involved. Fortunately, when Grandshou Liu saw that the immortal master was in a difficult face, he no longer asked the bottom line. In fact, there were many rules and taboos in the world. Grandshou Liu knew this common sense. As long as he was sure that the young sword immortal in front of him was "his own family", wasn't his friend of his son Liu Gaohua? It's enough!

With a few polite greetings from Grandpa Liu, Chen Ping'an turned around and walked towards the old man, squatted down to help the kind-hearted Qi training man take his pulse. The pulse was stable and there should be no major problems. When the effect of the "heavy snow" medicine was removed, he would soon wake up. Chen Ping'an suddenly raised his head and saw the little girl blinking her big eyes, full of curiosity.

A pair of watery eyes, which are naturally born with yin and yang eyes, are now filled with a faint golden light under the guidance of the golden material's yang energy talisman.

Chen Ping'an smiled and reached out to help her wipe the blood on her face, comforting her: "It's okay. Does it still hurt?"

The corners of the girl's mouth were bent and two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks.

Chen Ping'an helped the old man up, put it on a chair, and then walked towards the door. Liu Taishou thought that he was still following the sword fairy and was the best at saving his life. He followed Chen Ping'an out of the threshold of the main hall. Chen Ping'an walked to the corpse of the snake and scorpion. From the plain white cotton bag on her waist, he found a small pink and porcelain pen wash. There was a small white snake in it, which was only one inch long and extremely slender. He was raising his head and vomiting letters to the sky, but it was full of harsh and timid inside. There was also a black scorpion lying on the ground sickly. After a closer look, its body was like a black pipa.

Chen Ping'an's mind moved slightly. It was a fool to control the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month to kill powerful enemies, but it was not difficult to let them come out and shake their might.

Junyi turned into a snow-white rainbow light, and swept out the sword-raising gourd, rushing straight to the antique brush and washing it, hovering over the heads of two small things, scaring the little white snake trembled, its slender body pressed against the pen and washed the inner wall, and the little black scorpion even made a head-to-head-hunting shape. Junyi slowly hovered and flew inside the brush, like a general patrolling the base, full of momentum.

At this moment, the prefect Liu had no county magistrate, Guan Wei and scholar Siwen, so he squatted with Chen Ping'an and said in amazement: "The true immortal sword is the true sword immortal!"

Chen Ping'an held a pen in his hand, stood up, looked at it carefully, and found that in the circle outside the pen washing, there were subtle words like tadpoles slowly flowing, like a group of lively and cute children, walking around happily.

A total of sixteen words, spring flowers and autumn moon, spring breeze and autumn trees, spring mountains and autumn stones, spring water and autumn frost.

Chen Ping'an smiled knowingly and remembered the sisters he met on the Kun boat. Sister Chunshui is steady and sister Qiushi is even more childish. Chen Ping'an couldn't help but look up at the southern sky, wondering if they have arrived in Laolong City now? If they can meet again next time, Chen Ping'an really wants to wash this beautiful small pen to them. Unfortunately, there is spring water on the pen, but no Qiushi. There is a word difference and it is not completely together, otherwise it would be better.

But Chen Ping'an doesn't know that it's a pity, but he can't be perfect, and some pity, but he's a long-term regret.

Chen Ping'an said: "Mr. Liu, the deceased is the most important thing. Can you help bury the woman's body? If you have the opportunity to find a place to bury it in the future? I will pay for all the expenses."

Grandpa Liu smiled and said, "This little thing does not require Mr. Chen to work hard. Just leave it to the county magistrate's office and it will be done steadily."

Liu Taishou calmed down his smile and said tentatively: "It's just this time the demons are causing trouble. That old man named Huang has a ill intention. He may have to fly his sword to suppress the demons?"

Chen Ping'an smiled bitterly and said, "I need a big bucket of water for the time being, fill it with boiling hot water. As for the medicinal materials, I have it myself. Soak it for at least a few hours to maintain my body."

Liu Taishou nodded and said, "It should be, it should be, I have to be the servants of the mansion to handle it. Mr. Chen's body is important, and the health is important. The safety of tens of thousands of people in Yanzhi County is now tied to Mr. Chen alone. There is no need to make any mistakes. I will be there to deal with it..."

Liu Taishou ran away quickly, implying that this fourth-rank local official of the Caiyi State was not in a curvy and straightforward manner. Chen Ping'an could understand it anyway, but he could not make any promises about it, and he could not shirk his chest and refuse at the end of the battle.

Apart from sending a sword, Chen Ping'an only has four words to do everything within his ability.

This is true for the Jincheng God Shen Wen, and the governor who guarded the territory.

Finally, in an Yajing room, Chen Ping'an was soaked in a large medicinal barrel. The medicinal materials were given by Wei Bo before leaving Longquan County. It was enough for three times to use. Wei Bo could of course take out any more. This was actually enough silver for the King of the Northern Mountains, and the treasures of Baofuzhai in Niujiao Mountain were also enough. However, Wei Bo did not prepare too much. At that time, he joked that it was a bad omen and gave too much, which was a pure and unwilling person. He still hoped that Chen Ping'an would have a smooth journey and smooth journey. The number of injuries was only three times, so he just regarded it as a good start.

Before entering the room, Chen Ping'an asked Grandpa Liu to help keep the secret and not reveal that he was a "Sword Immortal". Grandpa Liu was full of understanding and agreed very happily, but he just didn't swear.

At the same time, he handed the magical talisman to Taishou Liu, saying that it was returned to his friend Taoist Zhang Shan.

During the soaking process, Chen Ping'an noticed a shocking noise in the City God Pavilion in Yanzhi County. However, since Chen Ping'an didn't care, he simply didn't think about anything more and warmed his energy. In conjunction with the sword energy taught by Aliang, the breathing and breathing taught by Old Man Yang, he concentrated in the bucket and entered into a state of meditation. He pinched the sword furnace technique on the Shanshan Fist Score with both hands, like a dead tree in winter, quietly waiting for the spring breeze to blow.

That night, Yanzhi County still fought continuously. On the one hand, the demons successfully opened the formation, and the people everywhere were possessed by demons. The county magistrate's mansion was tired of dealing with it. On the other hand, it was a good thing, and a disaster. The good thing was that General Ma from the east gate of the city gate. The old devil in the cloak of a god was with three people in the city god palace for some reason, and the fight was overturned. The disaster also arose. The four people never stopped. One by one, the magic weapons were released, and evil magic was emerging one after another, which damaged hundreds of houses in the mansion. The people were killed and injured. The fire from the station

The elite cavalry under General Ma who quickly reinforced the city of Rouge County could not pass through the streets and alleys in the posture of a cavalry, and had to get off the horse and fight in a staircase. Everyone was wearing iron armor and holding a strong bow and crossbow. However, when facing the four demons and giants who practiced on the mountain, except for the dozens of special arrows in the county magistrate's office, it could cause a substantial threat. The other crossbows could not keep up with the four people's flying around, and the other was often slapped away without waiting to get close. Some arrows were even caught by the four demons during the battle, and then threw them back, causing more than 80 elite soldiers to be killed or injured.

I just want to exchange death for injury, but I can't do it.

General Ma really deserves the word "being brave and fearless" and is brave and good at fighting on the border battlefield. He also leads the way against these practitioners. He finds opportunities with the deputy general several times, catches a demon who is alone, and joins forces to fight closely together. Later, the enemy sides are so angry that the "Yang Lao Immortal" and Miao Demon who are red-eyed, and they are ruthless, and they are seriously injured by General Ma and the deputy general. If it were not for the dozens of personal troops who blocked the special bows and arrows of the Mo family and the guards who are desperate, they would not be able to escape from the battlefield alive and would have died in this Rouge County city that night.

In the second half of the night, the "Yellow Old God" who fought against three was sprinkled by the Mi Lao Demon with a handful of "white rice". The whole body instantly burst into blue smoke, blood and blood, burned out countless flesh and blood holes, and had to sneak into the ground with the technique of escaping the ground. The three demons began to search. If they met the county city constable who dared to stop, the soldiers entering the city would mercilessly kill them.

At dawn, when Chen Ping'an put on his clothes and walked out of the house, he found that Liu Gaoxin was sitting at the end of the corridor, napping on a small stool.

The girl was light-sleeping and woke up soon. She was afraid that she would drool when she was sleeping, so she quickly turned her head and wiped her face.

In fact, it was not long before she returned to the official residence. She changed into clean clothes and came here to sit as the door god.

Chen Ping'an and she went to the main hall together, asking questions and answering questions. Chen Ping'an had a rough understanding of the movements of the county town during this period. After hearing the internal strife of demons, it was a bit incredible. However, the fight was not fake. Although he did not know the twists and turns, as long as it was beneficial to Rouge County, it was still a good thing. No one could control the extra accidental casualties.

In Cui Feng's words, there is a guy in the world who is the most powerful. Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.

At that time, the young master, who was wearing a white boy, deliberately kept him in a silence, but he had no choice but to show him the blind man. Chen Ping'an was unwilling to answer the conversation, so the young man Cui Feng had to talk to himself and give an answer, calling it the "general trend".

This is the general trend.

Cui Qian also said that the withering and prosperity of this big field in the world depends on the direction of certain general trends.

Chen Ping'an was not interested in the divine devils that Cui Feng was talking about at that time, because he didn't understand at all, and was actually afraid of that guy's devil.

Although Lin Shouyi and Li Huai and Yu Lu thank you, they are not very close to Cui Feng, but in fact, they should have a considerable awe and even admiration for this person in their hearts.

Of course, the only girl with red cotton jacket and Li Baoping is definitely not listed here.

It was the boy Cui Wei who was afraid of her.

Through Liu Gaoxin's words, Chen Ping'an learned that the wars were everywhere in the county city. Every time Xu Yuanxia and Zhang Shanfeng came back for a short rest and bandaged wounds, he would soon go out to continue suppressing the demon barriers in various places. During this period, Xu Yuanxia and Zhang Shanfeng also faced a young demon master. He should be one of the key figures in the magic formation. The two sides strangled less than a cup of tea and were in danger. The big bearded man was torn off a large piece of flesh on his shoulder by his naked opponent. Later, Taoist Chongmiao arrived with a brass strongman and forced the ruthless devil to retreat.

Moreover, for some reason, her sister and brother had already left the city safely, but they returned to the house with her master. After closing the door to the study with his father, the master took her elder sister and second brother to stay in the backyard, as if they had encountered something strange, and they couldn't tell whether it was good or bad. If it was good, they would be happy. If it was bad, they would be fine. If it was bad, they would be fine. In short, her father and master didn't want the girl Liu Gaoxin to get involved. She was busy putting out the fire tonight, and she really couldn't care about it.

Then there is the girl from the Zhao family who was rescued by Chen Ping'an, and the stubborn boy who depended on the girl, who had been arranged to live in the prefect's mansion.

When Chen Ping'an and Liu Gaoxin approached the main hall, they found the atmosphere solemn. They quickly entered it and found a room full of blood. An elderly Taoist robe with a broken Taoist robe slumped on a chair, his face was covered in blood, his head was disheveled, and his heart was bleeding, his body was covered in scars, and he had no idea how to bandage it. He was in a desolate situation where he could hardly go out in one breath. Liu Taishou, Xu Yuanxia, ​​Taoist priest Zhang Shanfeng, and the old man with a brush hanging around his waist were surrounded by the old Taoist. The old man who had saved the girl before shook his head gently at everyone, his face full of bitterness and guilt. Liu Taishou also sighed.

The old Taoist who was dying was the Chongmiao Taoist who had a first impression of being arrogant and philanthropist.

The old man looked back a little, his originally cloudy vision gradually became brighter, he raised his head and smiled at Grandpa Liu, "Mr. Liu, if Lingxi sent the immortal master to save Yanzhi County this time and eliminate all the demons of all sizes, I will have to worry about Lord Liu, the parent official, and take care of him."

Liu Taishou nodded and said in a deep voice: "Master Chongmiao relaxed. Even if I did not serve in Yanzhi County one day, I would let the new county magistrate know about today's war and know the contribution of Taoist Chongmiao to Yanzhi County. In short, I would never let the Taoist priest's family suffer grievances."

The old Taoist clasped his fists to thank him, then turned to Zhang Shanfeng, the young Taoist priest with red eyes, and smiled and said, "Zhang Shan, if you weren't stupid and desperate, I'm afraid I would have been so angry that I was killed at that time. Maybe I would have to escape for the devil. I would not have the feat of killing the devil with this hand..."

The old Taoist started to cough and was so severe that everyone dissuaded Taoist Chongmiao to stop talking.

The big bearded man Xu Yuanxia asked softly: "Old Taoist Master, do you want to call your juniors here?"

The old Taoist nodded.

The prefect Liu went to instruct his servants again and quickly informed the old Taoist priest of his direct family members in the county town.

The old Taoist took advantage of his breath to raise his spirit, and silently calculated the journey and time of the family's descendants coming here. After a moment of rest, he looked around everyone and said slowly: "I actually know that you, you looked down on me like me who took advantage of the situation before. You are just doing business and practicing. Don't be ashamed to talk about business or money. There is no way. We wandering cultivators in the mountains and fields have no big trees to enjoy the shade, and we have no ancestral shade of the master of the master who can protect us, so we can only make money by ourselves and earn that strait opportunity. If this is not the case, how can we do it?"

Speaking of this, the old Taoist fell into silence again, with a dazed look, as if he had remembered the ups and downs of honor and disgrace in this life.

After a long time, the old Taoist put away his thoughts and suddenly sighed, "Business needs to be done, but people in the practice must also do this person. Isn't it?"

The old Taoist coughed and laughed, "But it may be because my qualifications are too poor. I knew that I had no hope for the great way, so I had such a childish and ridiculous idea. How could a real practitioner on the mountain be covered in stinking? How could he care about the birth, old age, sickness and death of the people down the mountain?"

The old Taoist looked at the gate in a daze, as if looking for those familiar figures. The old man murmured: "I have been calling someone a Taoist Chongmiao for a lifetime, but I can't change a word. I respectfully called him "Chungmiao Zhenren". It's a pity! A great pity!"

As soon as the regret was said, the old man's spirit seemed to collapse suddenly, his eyes were blurred, his breathing was extremely weak, his voice was low and he was inaudible, "Why haven't you come yet..."

After all, the old man didn't wait for his family to arrive, so he just leaned against the back of the chair and passed away suddenly.

It was not considered a mortal death, nor did it close its eyes peacefully. It was just like an old man squinting his eyes and looking into the distance, wanting to see something, but he couldn't see clearly.

The whole audience was silent.

Chen Ping'an walked over and helped the old Taoist wipe away the blood from his face.

Not long after he finished this, the juniors of the Chongmiao Taoist family flocked to him, with as many as dozens of people, both men, women, young and old. Liu Taishou talked about the process roughly, and of course he also agreed to the promise of the old Taoist, and also made public statements with the descendants of the old Taoist.

The eldest son of the Taoist Chongmiao, a middle-aged man with a big belly, was naturally grateful to the prefect, and most of the women were sobbing and choking.

Just a boy in his early teens rushed out without warning and asked angrily at everyone, "Why is my only grandpa dead?"

The boy with hatred and anger looked wide, and his jackal-like eyes roared: "Answer me!"

The big bearded man Xu Yuanxia frowned.

Taoist Zhang Shanfeng turned his head and looked at the old Taoist who had passed away with a pale face. He sighed in his heart. Some answers, if you say it, it would really hurt people. At the beginning, the old Taoist actually wanted to take over his military achievements and fell into the trap of the devil who showed his weakness and underestimated the enemy. If he and Xu had not been for the moral integrity in his heart, both of them would have sacrificed their lives to save them. Otherwise, the result would be worse than now.

But it is true that the old Taoist has selfishness, but this selfishness is a common human nature. From yesterday to now, the old Taoist has fought all the way and died in a fierce battle in the end. It is definitely not something that "business and business" can explain everything. One place of land and land raises the other place. If the old Taoist does not have the most sincere feelings for the land of Yanzhi County, he would never have worked so hard.

Human relationships and world relationships are the most difficult to reason.

Because once you really want to break it up, it seems that the wine and water are distracted and tasteless.

The angry child stretched out his finger and pointed at everyone, shouting, "You are all murderers."

The old Taoist's eldest son, the man quickly asked his wife to regain his crazy son, and then apologized to Liu Taishou and everyone.

Liu Taishou's face was as usual, and he said that he was a childless person and did not care. He even apologized to the man in turn, saying that this time he was indeed the county magistrate who was guilty of his duties and was ashamed of their family, which made their family lose a pillar and would definitely come to the door to apologize in the future, and so on.

But what did this parent official think in his heart, will the incense relationship between Taoist Chongmiao and the county magistrate's office be reduced by a little bit? God knows.

Therefore, even if the blessings of the ancestors in the world are given to their descendants, they still have their own lives. Some people can catch them, some people can't catch them, some people can catch them, some people can catch them more, and some people can catch them less. Moreover, the parties involved will often be unaware of such things at the moment and can only do it based on their original intentions.

———

In a dark alley in Rouge County, a young man, although his clothes were simple, had red lips and white teeth, and his skin was as beautiful as a young girl. He sat against the wall, holding a dead man who kept vomiting blood in his mouth. There was also a man squatting beside the two of them. The three of them were the shopkeepers of the rice shop, all of whom were Mildew's disciples. The young man was a native of Rouge County. Mildew only accepted as a disciple last year.

The young man's senior brother in his arms was the demonic man who exchanged his lives with Taoist Chongmiao. He was worthy of being a devil. He grinned and his last sentence before his death turned out to be: "Little junior brother, who do you like more with your second senior brother?"

The boy gently held the man's chin with one move, lowered his head, his eyes full of affection, and he choked and said, "Of course it's you."
