In the next two days, Chen Pingan took Pei Qian and Zhu Lian to visit the shops in the capital, while Shi Rou stayed at the inn to look after the family.

The excitement is really lively, just because of this huge debate between Buddhism and Taoism, this is the best place in the Qingluan Kingdom, where the three religions and nine schools of fish and dragons are mixed together, those who seek fame seek fame, those who seek profit, and of course Chen Ping'an who is purely here to reward

Enjoy the scenery and buy some specialties from Qingluan Country.

Pei Qian and Zhu Lian were probably in the dark under the lamp, and they didn't see anything weird about Chen Pingan's liking to visit bookstores. However, Shi Rou, who had a delicate mind, saw some clues.

I almost never touch new books, and I have little interest in the classics of various schools of thought. Instead, I am interested in miscellaneous books on official and official histories, county annals of various countries, and some rare genealogies that will only be put in the corner. I only read half of them.

After looking through it, Chen Pingan didn't buy it.

Got a lot of looks.

Fortunately, with the help of Zhu Lian, who liked to spend money lavishly when he had money, he didn't suffer any harsh words from the shop.

Pei Qian probably thought that in the capital, Chen Ping'an first bought dozens of Qingluan Kingdom's most famous and expensive rice paper, then bought Lu Baixiang a pair of celadon imperial chess pots, and bought her a hand-twisted gourd.

The expenses were very high, much higher than usual. Even if I saw something pleasing to the eye that I really liked, I would only peek at it a few times. What’s more, the treasure box that Yao Jinzhi presented me was really full and I couldn’t fit any more items in it. Otherwise,

Want to ask Master for a brand new treasure box again? After some thought, Pei Qian gave up the idea. He felt that although Master earned some Grain Rain money this time in the Lion Garden, he would also buy a handle piece next time.

Make more money and talk to the master again.

After all, it is poverty.

Pei Qian was a little sad. He didn't know when he would be able to accumulate a lot of treasure boxes, all filled with treasures. The old cook said that the ones that were better and bigger than the treasure boxes were the ones that rich families had.

The treasure shelf is truly dazzling when it is filled with objects, which makes one's eyes drop to the ground and unable to pick them up.

I've been shopping for the past two days and heard some gossip about Chen Ping'an and the others.

According to Zhu Lian, the taste of the emperor of Qingshan Kingdom was extremely "outstanding among the crowd", which made him admire him endlessly. This monarch who was very famous in Qingshan Kingdom did not like graceful and slim beauties, but was fond of rich women in the world. Qingshan Palace

Among the most favored concubines, four of them could no longer be described as plump. Each weighed more than 200 pounds. The Emperor of Qingshan Kingdom euphemistically called them Mei Pig, Mei Dog, Mei Zhi and Mei Bird.

The leader of the Four Meis, Mei Zhu Yuan Ye, also has a more famous identity. He is one of the four great martial arts masters in the dozens of countries in the southeast of Aquarius Continent.

Emperor Zheng Kui of the Qingshan Kingdom is now staying at the Qingluan Kingdom's capital post house, accompanied by Si Mei.

The day before yesterday, Zheng Kui was wearing casual clothes and took Mei Que, who was relatively "slender" among the concubines, to visit the temples and Taoist temples in the capital. As a result, while burning incense, he got into a conflict with a group of disciples from aristocratic families. Mei Que struck out fiercely and beat the person up.

Half dead, a big disturbance was caused. High-ranking officials from the Yamen in charge of public security in the capital and the Ministry of Rites of Qingluan State showed up. After all, it involved diplomatic relations between the two countries. It was not easy to calm down. The troublemakers were the children of the wealthy family in the capital and a few Nandu officials.

The family friends and contemporaries stopped after learning the identity of the Qingshan Emperor Zheng Kui. However, one wave of troubles arose again. Among the rioters that night, there were many people who had just settled in the new residence of Qingluan Kingdom.

He died in such a miserable manner that it was said that even the officials in the government were nauseated by the sight of him.

Soon, conclusive news spread throughout the capital. The murderer's killing method was exactly the usual method of Mei Zhu, the great master of the Qingshan Kingdom. He removed the limbs and left only the head on the body. He tapped the mute acupuncture point and helped to stop the bleeding.

, struggled and died.

The imperial court of the Qingluan Kingdom has quickly mobilized manpower from all parties to investigate the matter. A team composed of officials from the Ministry of Justice with rich experience in investigating cases, immortal masters worshiped by the court, and famous celebrities entered Jiang Kui's post house immediately.

But they still couldn't stop the public anger. Countless scholars and scholars besieged the post house where Emperor Zheng Kui was staying. If it hadn't been for the obstruction by the government officials in the capital and the governor Wei Liang personally sending two hundred elite soldiers to watch with eager eyes and not allow the situation to deteriorate,

Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous. Of course, those powerless scholars would be killed on the spot by Zheng Kui's beloved concubine, one of the four beauties.

The charming pig Yuan Ye said that she and Zhu Fengxian, one of the four great masters of Daze, were going to fight. If she lost, the Qingshan Kingdom would recognize the dirty water, but if she won,

, the scholars of Qingluan Kingdom who were making noise outside the post house had to kneel down and kowtow to apologize one by one.

And it is rumored that Zhu Fengxian, the old devil who once drove a scarlet carriage and caused a bloody storm in the world of several countries, is indeed in the capital recently and is staying at a Taoist temple.

Then yesterday, Zhu Fengxian, who was infamous thirty years ago, returned to the world. As the number one hero of the Qingluan Kingdom, he arrived as promised, walked into the post house, and had a life-and-death battle with the charming pig Yuan Ye.

.

From the moment Zhu Fengxian left the Taoist temple in a carriage, there were countless people from the capital of Qingluan Kingdom and people from the Jianghu along the way, waving flags and cheering for him.

It's just that the Taoist master is as tall as the devil. Zhu Fengxian, who had high hopes for him, was actually defeated by the charming pig. In the end, he was seriously injured and lost to Yuan Ye, who ranked second among the four great masters. He was covered in blood but was defeated.

Yuan Ye, who was not seriously injured, casually grabbed Zhu Fengxian's neck, walked to the gate of the post house in a swagger, looked around at the dumb people, and threw Zhu Fengxian, who had collapsed and fainted, onto the street, and said, don't forget to kowtow tomorrow.

.

Zhu Fengxian was put into the carriage with tears by the disciples of the Daze Gang, and he left the post house and returned to the Taoist temple for treatment.

Outside the post house, there was a crowd. Outside the Taoist temple, there were constant scoldings.

I happened to hear about the incident at the book store, and Chen Pingan continued to look for books.

Pei Qian was heartless and thought that Zhu Fengxian was really miserable. He was not very capable and liked to be in the limelight. Why didn't he know how to hide in the Taoist temple and not go out? If he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he wouldn't know whether he was alive or dead for a charming pig weighing more than 200 kilograms.

The famous name is gone. According to the scenes of martial arts, martial arts disputes, and people who are involved in the martial arts described in the romance novel, if the reputation is lost, doesn’t it mean that the life is lost? Pei Qian’s only regret is that they still lived there when they climbed the Jingui Temple.

The wealthy man Zhu Fengxian built for his granddaughter on the hillside was a wealthy and generous owner, and she liked it very much. Unfortunately, it seems that now, even if Zhu Fengxian had a hard life and did not die at the Taoist temple, but next time both sides

If they met, she probably wouldn't want to eat and drink with the old man.

At that time, the two groups of people met by chance, first taking shelter from the rain together, and then climbing together. Finally, the old man's granddaughter Zhu Ziyang and Liu Qingcheng, a girl from Yanzhizhai in Yunxiao Kingdom, became the direct disciples of Zhang Guo, the old god of Jingui Temple.

Pei Qian and Chen Ping'an watched the apprenticeship ceremony, which was a tedious affair and took nearly an hour. In the end, Pei Qian's head hurt when she saw it, and she had to remain motionless like a wooden figure. She felt more tired than copying books.

Chen Pingan walked out of the library and stood on the steps at noon, thinking about something.

Zhu Lian asked softly: "Master, what do you say?"

Shi Rou's heartstrings tightened, and she thought silently in her heart, don't get involved, and don't wade into the muddy water.

Chen Ping'an's answer made Shi Rou feel mixed with joy and sorrow.

Chen Ping'an said: "Go and see Zhu Fengxian. If he is seriously injured, I happen to have some elixirs on my body. I will give you the elixirs and see the person, and we will leave the Taoist temple."

Zhu Lian praised: "The young master is affectionate and righteous, and the key is to be steady."

Pei Qian glared and said, "What are you doing to steal my words? Old cook, what should I do after you finish talking?"

Zhu Lian said rudely: "What should I do? Go eat shit, you don't have to pay for it. If you are not full by then, say hello to me, go back to the inn, and wait for me outside the toilet. I guarantee it will be hot."

Pei Qian rolled his eyes and said, "That's disgusting."

Chen Pingan ignored the daily fighting between the old and the young, asked for directions, and headed to the Taoist temple in the capital that had become famous overnight.

After walking for about half an hour, we approached the Taoist temple. There were only a few people outside the wall. Some people threw stones and cursed a few times before running away. Most of them came to watch the excitement. They were satisfied after just wandering around the Taoist temple, and some heard the news.

Most of the people from the rivers and lakes who came here should have had their fathers and ancestors suffer at the hands of Daze Gang, but they didn’t dare to curse, let alone beat up a drowned dog. After all, the old devil Zhu Fengxian’s life or death was uncertain, but there were still a few evil names.

The illustrious disciples stay in the Taoist temple, and even if one of them is picked out alone, it is enough for an ordinary Qingluan Kingdom martial arts master to eat a large pot of fine wine.

The Taoist temple is not big, and today it is closed to thank guests. Chen Pingan knocked on the side door of a Taoist temple for a long time before a Taoist priest opened the door. He looked wary. Chen Pingan said that he was an old acquaintance with the old gang leader Zhu. I bothered to inform the Taoist temple and said it was Chen.

Have a safe visit.

The young Taoist priest nodded and asked Chen Pingan to wait for a moment. After closing the door and about half a stick of incense, in addition to the Taoist priest who went back to report the news, there was also one of the disciples who accompanied Zhu Fengxian to send Zhu Ziyang to the mountain to become a disciple. He recognized

After Chen Pingan arrived, this close disciple of Zhu Fengxian breathed a sigh of relief and led Chen Pingan to the depths of the Taoist temple's backyard. This person didn't say much along the way, just some polite words to thank Chen Pingan for remembering the friendship between the world and the lake.

When everyone approached a house, the smell of medicine was extremely strong. Several disciples of Zhu Fengxian stood respectfully in the corridor outside the door with their hands solemn. Everyone looked solemn. When they saw Chen Pingan, they just nodded in greeting and did not relax at all. After all, Jin Guiguan had

The trip was just a brief chance encounter, and people were separated from each other. God knows what the intentions of this foreigner named Chen were. If Zhu Fengxian, who was lying on the hospital bed, had not personally requested to bring Chen Ping'an and his party, no one would have dared to agree.

Open this door.

Chen Ping'an asked Zhu Lian and the others to stay at the corner of the corridor and did not let them get close to the room.

After a direct disciple of Zhu Fengxian opened the door, Chen Pingan carried his sword and carried the box and walked into the house alone.

Zhu Fengxian leaned on the pillow, his face pale, covered with a quilt, and said with a smile: "We say goodbye on the mountain, but we meet again in a different place. I, Zhu Fengxian, am in such a pitiful situation, which makes Mr. Chen laugh."

Very seriously injured.

In addition to Zhu Fengxian on the hospital bed, there was also an old Taoist with a dull look in the room. The disciple who helped open the door closed the door, moved a chair for Chen Pingan, and stood aside without leaving, to prevent Chen Pingan from violently killing someone.

Chen Pingan took off the bamboo box and put it at his feet, sat on a chair, and asked softly: "The old gang leader did not hide his whereabouts when he came to Beijing this time?"

Zhu Fengxian coughed a few times and tried his best to smile and said: "Why didn't you hide it? It's just that the court's ears and eyes were smart and they couldn't hide it well. This Taoist temple in the capital is a branch that the Daze Gang has worked hard for nearly thirty years. Maybe

He has been targeted by the court for a long time. This is nothing. Our Tang emperor of Qingluan Kingdom has always been fascinated by Jianghu when he was young. After he ascended the throne, he treated Jianghu favorably. Most of the grudges and vendettas were dealt with as long as he did not go too far.

The government doesn't care much about it.

"In fact, back then, I traveled through the martial arts circles of several countries and was invincible. At that time, Tang Li, who was still the prince in Long Qian's residence, was said to have great respect for me and threatened that one day, he would personally summon me, a martial artist who has made a name for Qingluan Kingdom.

.So this time I named that charming pig inexplicably. Even though I knew someone was trying to harm me, I really had no shame and left the capital so quietly."

Chen Ping'an saw that Zhu Fengxian was struggling to speak and was speaking intermittently, so he decided not to ask anymore and bent down to open the bamboo box.

When he made this move, the old Taoist and the man in the room were ready to go. Chen Pingan stopped and explained: "I have a few bottles of elixirs refined on the mountain. Of course, I can't make people's bones become flesh and quickly repair the damage."

The muscles and veins are relatively strong, but it can still be used to replenish qi and nourish the mind. It can still be used to patch up the body of a martial artist."

Zhu Fengxian wanted to raise his arm, but was unable to do so. He just put it on the quilt, shook it gently, and smiled at his two confidants: "Don't be nervous, I, Zhu Fengxian, am better at judging people than I am at martial arts. Now this is

In this capital, anyone can pick up the leaks, but Mr. Chen will not."

On the way here, Chen Ping'an chose a secluded alley, took out three bottles of elixirs from the square items, and moved them into the bamboo box. Otherwise, taking things out of thin air would be too eye-catching.

After Chen Ping'an took out three porcelain bottles, he stretched out his hand and handed it to the old Taoist priest, "I would like to trouble you to identify the efficacy of the medicine first and whether it is suitable for the old gang leader to heal his injuries."

Zhu Fengxian couldn't help but laugh and said: "Mr. Chen, you kindly gave people medicine to save their lives, but you are the only one in the world who has been sent to such a wronged situation."

The old Taoist priest took the three porcelain bottles, still smiling, and went to the table. Each of them poured out a pill, took out a silver needle from his sleeve, and broke the pill into small pieces.

Instead of taking it as annoyance with good intentions, Chen Pingan felt that what the old Taoist did was a true charlatan act.
