The one with the most schools.

I know how many times Xiao Qi has cried in his life. Because he cried when he was beaten by me when he was a teenager. There was nothing I could do. I couldn’t reason with him, and he couldn’t beat me in a fight.

Boy, can you imagine your Mr. Qi crying bitterly?

The man laughed loudly and pushed the sword out of its sheath. Dozens of sea islands near his feet, no matter how big or small, were all cut into two.

The world is quite boring.

Only fighting can make the left and right people a little more energetic.

————

Between the hurried boat and the slowly moving Osmanthus Island, there was an old man who was actually seriously injured, waiting for Chen Ping'an at sea.

Chen Ping'an grinned, he was the old Zhouzi man with great powers.

The two took a small boat together and swam across the sea. Soon they caught up with Guihua Island and stopped the boat. Mrs. Gui stood alone at the ferry, full of apologies, and said to Chen Pingan: "I will report today's matter to Fan's Ancestral Hall.

I have made it clear that Mr. Chen’s life-saving grace will never be forgotten by me!”

Chen Pingan smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "It's just to save myself."

Mrs. Gui was speechless, sighed, and walked side by side to the top of Osmanthus Island with an old man and a young man.

Lao Zhouzi needed to rest, so he said goodbye to Chen Pingan and went to his residence. Chen Pingan and Mrs. Gui walked to Guimai Small Courtyard. Mrs. Gui hesitated and explained: "Ma Zhi was in the previous battle to protect Guihua Island.

I am taking the lead, so I am also injured. I may not be able to test swords with you in the near future. Please let me send a message and hope Mr. Chen can forgive me."

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Of course, Senior Ma needs to recover from his injuries."

Mrs. Gui was a little helpless, "The situation on Guihua Island is a bit delicate now. I really don't want outsiders to enter this courtyard, even if it's golden millet. If Mr. Chen doesn't mind it, I will be responsible for the food and daily life of Guimai Courtyard."

."

Chen Ping'an quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no, I just need to deliver three meals a day as before. If it weren't for the stove here, I could actually cook by myself."

Mrs. Gui said goodbye with a smile, "There are many matters that need to be resolved. Mr. Chen, you have a good rest. If you have anything to do, just ask me. There will be a sweet-scented osmanthus lady waiting for you near the yard."

Chen Pingan sat alone on the stone bench in the courtyard and began to close his eyes and meditate.

Soon there was a knock on the door, and it was a sweet-scented osmanthus girl who said softly outside the door: "Mr. Chen, there are two guests from Aaizhou. See you or not. Mrs. Gui said before that she only cares about the young master."

Chen Ping'an got up and opened the door. In addition to the girl from Osmanthus Island, there was also a smiling young man in green and a white-haired old woman with a solemn face.

The young man got straight to the point and said: "My benefactor, my name is Liu Youzhou and I come from the northernmost Aai'aizhou. I won't go into the courtyard to disturb your Qing Dynasty. I just came to thank you in person."

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Okay."

Then they were both speechless.

The boy in bamboo clothes looked at Chen Pingan with curiosity, and Chen Pingan was wondering when the boy would leave.

The old woman broke the silence and said, "The golden-robed evil dragon attacked you twice before. Once it was so unexpected that I couldn't stop it, and then again I couldn't stop it unless I risked my life. But this time I went out,

I need to take care of my young master, so for this matter, the young master needs to thank you, and I, the bad old woman, need to apologize to you."

Chen Pingan smiled, cupped his hands and said, "I understand!"

The old woman nodded and smiled a little, "Master Renyi, if you go to Aai'aizhou in the future, you must come to our Liu family as a guest."

Chen Pingan smiled and said nothing.

The old woman took the young man surnamed Liu, who was wearing a bamboo coat to escape the summer heat, and said goodbye.

The two of them passed by a young and beautiful woman. After she looked at Chen Pingan, she smiled and said, "So it's you."

Chen Pingan was a little confused, but fortunately the woman turned around and left.

Only then was Chen Ping'an able to turn around and walk towards the yard. He suddenly stopped and turned to smile at the anxious Osmanthus lady: "Trouble, miss, if anyone comes after me, please help me stop them."

The sweet-scented osmanthus girl nodded vigorously.

For the next two days, Chen Pingan did not practice boxing or sword for the first time. He just dug out the books and bamboo slips and read the contents in the sun.

Late at night, Chen Pingan, who was already lying in bed, opened his eyes, got up and walked out of the house, jumped to the roof, took off the sword gourd and started drinking.

He suddenly turned his head, and soon a figure flew over and sat next to him. This uninvited guest was carrying two jars of aged wine.

Chen Ping'an smiled sincerely and said: "Old senior, are you looking for a companion to drink with?"

It was the old Zhouzi who fought to the death with the golden-robed dragon.

The old man, who had always used his identity as a boatman to hide from the world, laughed heartily and said: "What, do you dislike the old man's slovenliness?"

Chen Ping'an waved his hand and said: "How could it be?"

The old man opened the mud seal of the wine jar, raised his head and took a big sip. He was silent for a long time, and then he whispered: "Osmanthus Island, after this catastrophe, is like a pond of water. It was originally a mixed bag of fish and dragons, but on the whole it is still orderly.

Don't bother me, but I gave Penny a random blow and it has become turbid. You are right to stay in this small courtyard during this period. It is better to be careful. Although most people only know that you blocked the road.

You old beast, you made the whole Jiaolonggou quiet, but I'm going to say something unpleasant, and a good deal with me will make you hate me with a lot of money."

The old man said helplessly: "What's more, the practice of Dao Dao is bustling with people, and there are many people who can't see the beauty of others."

Chen Ping'an thought for a while, nodded and said: "Just like neighbors, they will be jealous when they see other people's wealth. In fact, it's the same."

The old man sighed and took a big sip of wine.

Chen Ping'an asked: "What exactly is Osmanthus Island? Can the seniors tell me?"

The old man smiled and said: "I can't say it, but it is actually Mrs. Gui's true identity."

Chen Pingan suddenly realized.

The old man smiled and asked: "Have you ever thought about who all the people on Osmanthus Island are?"

Chen Pingan said tentatively: "People from the mountains, Qi practitioners?"

The old man shook his head and said: "Osmanthus Island is a ferry. Who can the passengers on the ferry be? Businessmen."

Chen Ping'an was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's true."

The old man asked again: "What is the businessman doing when he travels all over the country?"

This time Chen Pingan answered quickly, "Make money."

The old man took a leisurely sip of wine: "What do you want after making money?"

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Spend money."

The old man sighed: "Yes, you work hard to spend money to enjoy happiness, so you must have the life to spend money. There are so many qi practitioners in the world."

Chen Pingan scratched his head, smiled a little, and started drinking. This time he drank a little too much and quickly, so he simply fell back and lay comfortably on the ridge, "Old senior, let me tell you something from my heart.

Can it not be spread? And if I say it and you listen, it might be a little troublesome, which is not a good thing..."

The old man sat cross-legged, leaned forward, and shook the wine jar with both hands. There was still half a jar of wine in it, and the old man laughed and said, "Just say, after drinking, it would be shameful not to say something about wine. That would be ridiculous."

Why are you still drinking? Boy, even though I am much older than you, I am actually weak and stupid. Besides, after living so many years, if I hadn’t been struggling to see Master, I would not have been able to survive today.

Yes. And some things, whether you say them or not, actually make a big difference. I was by your side at the time and heard them clearly. Isn’t this just a lie to you while drinking?"

Chen Pingan pointed to the sky, "I met a young Taoist priest in my hometown before, and we had a good relationship at the time. It was Lu Chen. In the previous battle, he plotted against me twice, maybe three times. I

I only said it twice that I was sure. The first time was when I had a "blessed soul" and couldn't write the word "Rain Master", so I simply wrote "Lu Chen" harshly. The second time was when I faced the golden-robed old dragon alone.

…”

Chen Pingan put the sword gourd on his stomach and put his hands under his head as a pillow. "That feeling is very strange. It seems that I have seen and heard everyone's mood, inner lakes and voices. It's like an old man."

As you said, senior, good friends and good friends fight against each other. At that time, I found that nine out of ten passengers on Osmanthus Island were indifferent and numb, or gloating about my misfortune, or even seemed to want me to die on the spot. Of course, there was also a lot of jealousy... I

I never understood why this happened, until you said just now, old man, that this is Osmanthus Island, where everyone is a businessman, and everyone wants to live. When I looked back, I thought, yes, I grew up because of

You can only get to where you are today if you want to live.”

Chen Ping'an grinned, "I have a friend who is a swordsman. He is very good. Lu Chen plotted against me, so I tricked him and deliberately asked him to tell me my last words. Lu Chen either ignored his face and pretended not to hear it, or he could only

I pinched my nose and told my friend, and then my friend beat me up. When I thought about this scene, I was not so afraid of death."

There were some things that Chen Ping'an still didn't dare to say.

Because it involves Mr. Qi.

Mr. Qi asked him not to lose hope in this world no matter what.

But at that time, Chen Pingan was only disappointed with the world.

I'm afraid this is Lu Chen's real plan. As for what is specifically involved, Chen Ping'an only has a vague intuition.

Lying on the roof at this moment, Chen Ping'an finally just said: "It's difficult not to be disappointed in this world."

The old man drank wine and said slowly: "You called the Taoist master by name one by one, and that friend of yours who could beat him...Old man, I won't tell you about the shock in my heart. At least it was the same back then.

A terrestrial god still needs a bit of shame. But since you said drunken words, the old man also has some secrets in his heart, and I must tell you."

Just as Chen Ping'an was about to sit up, the old man turned around and said with a smile: "Just lie down and complain. No one has listened to you for hundreds of years. You don't need to be so serious."

Chen Ping'an still sat up and explained: "It's not good to drink while lying down."

The old man smiled, hugged the wine jar, and looked at the night view of the sea in the distance. The bright moon was bright and beautiful.

The old man said slowly: "Back then, I was also a proud man in the eyes of the world. I had a very bad temper. Maybe if I had met you back then, I would have been one of the few people you disappointed. Now my temper back then is no longer so bad.
