Li Liu smiled and asked, "Mr. Chen is not curious. Are these truths told by my father, or is it an inside story that I know myself?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "You don't need to know this. I believe that Miss Li and Uncle Li can handle family affairs and outside affairs well."

Li Liu said for no reason: "If Mr. Chen feels that being punched and beaten is not enough, and wants to have a hearty training with punches, I have a suitable candidate here who can be on call at any time. But once the opponent strikes, he likes to decide whether to live or die.

.”

Chen Pingan did not hesitate and replied: "That's enough. Let's wait until the next time we visit Luzhou, Beiju."

Chen Ping'an estimated that he might not be able to withstand Li Er's next punch.

And once he reaches the seventh level of martial arts and Dadu River Walk has come to an end, he should immediately return south to Aquarius Continent. There are still a lot of things for him to deal with in Luopo Mountain. The next step, of course, is to go south to Old Dragon City again.

Take the cross-continental ferry to Daoxuan Mountain.

Li Liu said: "Actually, Mr. Chen also knew that person. He was at Baojing Mountain in Guixi Valley at that time."

Chen Pingan suddenly realized.

He's that weirdo who can't tell the difference but gives Chen Ping'an an extremely dangerous aura.

Yang Ningxing, the proud son of Heaven, has never had this feeling before, or it is not as strong as the former.

Li Liu asked: "Mr. Chen, have you ever thought about a question: How do people who are your enemies feel when their levels are not too different?"

Chen Ping'an was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I never thought about it."

During these years of traveling, there have been too many fights and too many mortal enemies.

Then the first thing Chen Ping'an thought of was Ma Kuxuan from Xinghua Lane whom he had not seen for a long time. A monastic genius who was born in Aquarius Continent and became the direct descendant of Zhenwu Mountain, the ancestral family of the military family, Ma Kuxuan broke through.

Xuan's situation is like breaking bamboo. After the fight between Caiyiguo Street and Caiyiguo Street, the two sides never had a chance to meet again. I heard that Ma Kuxuan was very prosperous and had been praised as Li Tuanjing on Baopingzhou Mountain, a recognized practitioner after the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

The man with the most talent, recently reported in the news that he killed an old general of Tide Cavalry, completely avenging his family.

Li Liu smiled and said: "If it were me and my level was similar to Mr. Chen's, I would never take action."

Chen Pingan shook his head, "Miss Li is so complimentary."

Li Liu said: "It is not good to be too modest."

Chen Ping'an said: "It shows that my effort to show weakness was not strong enough."

Li Liu couldn't help laughing and said: "Mr. Chen, please leave a way for your opponent to survive."

Chen Ping'an also laughed, "I really can't agree to this matter, Miss Li."

Unknowingly, he and Li Liu reached the top of Lion Peak. It was not too early now, but it was not yet time to fall asleep. We could see many lights in the town at the foot of the mountain, some of which were like slender fire dragons.

What is particularly eye-catching should be the streets and alleys where well-off families gather together. In other parts of the town, the lights are mostly sparse and scattered in twos and threes.

Li Liu asked: "Mr. Chen has traveled such a long way, can he know the true origin of the Cave Heaven Paradise and the many secret places of mountains and rivers?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "A friend once mentioned that not only the Jiuzhou of Haoran Tianxia, ​​but also the other three worlds are all fragmented territories, large and small, after the old world fell apart. Some secret realms, predecessors and even

It will be the heads and corpses of many ancient gods, as well as those... stars that fell on the earth, which were once the palaces and mansions of a god."

Li Liu said: "This friend of yours really dares to say that."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Actually, he is brave enough to be brave. He has magic weapons all over his body, so he dares to travel across continents alone. He is small to say the least. He is a Taoist who doesn't dare to travel far in the wind. He is afraid that he is too high above the ground.

.”

Li Liu asked: "Good friends?"

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "Count one."

The breeze on the top of the mountain carries the fragrance of the mountains and fields during Grain Rain.

Li Liu was silent for a moment and asked casually: "Has Mr. Chen been reading recently?"

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Yes, a copy..."

Chen Pingan paused briefly and said with emotion: "It is a strange book, a collection of short stories about life and death, written by a Taoist demon who likes to refine famous mountains."

Li Liu lost much interest in life and death. She had seen too much, and it would definitely not benefit her current path.

To her, this life was like Old Man Yang being a master in a school. She was asked to do homework, which was not about moral knowledge, not about sage articles, or even how to achieve an ascension state, but about how to be a human being.

This is actually a very awkward thing.

Li Liu felt that she could only get used to it by closing the door and getting along with her parents and younger brother Li Huai. When she walked out, she would see the world the same as she had in the past lifetimes.

Chen Ping'an looked at the lights at the foot of the mountain and said softly: "I once read in a scholar's note that an ordinary person has a short life and spends half of his life on that bed. It seems that there is no difference between those who practice Taoism. Practicing is like sleeping for most of his life.

.But if you think about it carefully, it is still different after all. Standing in different places and looking at the same thing, it may be two different people's minds."

"I once read two literati's writings, both of which talked about ghosts and world affairs. One literati once held a high position and wrote it after he retired and returned to his hometown. The other was a down-and-out scholar who failed in the imperial examination and never entered an official career in his life. I have read

After reading these two notebooks, I didn’t have much impression at first, but later on when I was traveling and had nothing to do, I flipped through them again, and I got some residual flavor.”

"Stand high and see far away, and you will have a more comprehensive view of human nature. Stand close and see carefully, and you will have a more nuanced analysis of human nature."

Speaking of this, Chen Ping'an said with emotion: "This is probably like traveling thousands of miles and reading thousands of books."

Chen Ping'an suddenly laughed, "That friend who didn't dare to resist the wind had mixed knowledge, which made me feel ashamed. I once asked him a question casually, if there were a small grass at the beginning and end of the alley in my hometown, and at the base of the wall, how far away would it be?

Although it was so close, but still invisible, would it be sad if it opened up? He then thought about this question seriously and gave me many incredible and mysterious answers, but I kept holding back my laughter. Miss Li

, do you know what I was laughing at?"

Li Liu smiled knowingly, "In that Mud Bottle Lane, chickens and dogs come and go. Especially the hens often bring a group of chickens with them, pecking here and there every day. There are no flowers or plants anywhere."

Chen Pingan smiled from ear to ear and nodded vigorously.

Li Liu suddenly stopped smiling, bent down and bowed, "Thank you, sir, for your teaching."

Chen Pingan was stunned on the spot, wondering what Li Liu was doing? I was just chatting with you, Miss Li, could it be possible that I could learn something from this?

Chen Ping'an only had one thought at the moment. He was indeed not a Taoist monk and had mediocre qualifications. Therefore, after practicing boxing at Lion Peak this time, he had to practice more diligently.

After Li Liu got up, he said goodbye and went to the store at the foot of the mountain with his food box Yufeng.

Chen Ping'an was confused, so he returned to the fairy cave, supported Hao Hao to the mirror, and continued to learn boxing from Zhang Shanfeng, not seeking any increase in boxing power, but only seeking a true peace of mind.

In the dark of night, the woman was working on an abacus behind the counter of the cloth shop, flipping through her account books, calculating over and over again, sighing, it had been more than half a month, and she didn't have much income, and she didn't even have a surplus of three taels of silver.

Compared with Chen Ping'an, who could earn three taels of silver in a day or two by helping out in the shop, it's really frustrating for me. Fortunately, I live in a small town and don't have much expenses.

The woman looked at the light on the counter, lost in thought, then turned to look at the stupid man standing not far away, and said angrily: "Li Er, what are you doing here, can you use it as an oil lamp?"

"

Li Er shook his head.

understand.

I've been buying a lot of drinks recently, but I can't blame him alone. Chen Ping'an hasn't been drinking less.

The woman seemed to have seen through Li Er's little thoughts, and said angrily: "It's one thing to spend money to feel sorry for him, but it's another thing to entertain Chen Pingan. You, Li Ershao, are dragging Chen Pingan to you. If you have the ability, I'll drink you."

If you spit out the money and pay me back after selling it, I won’t blame you! You just wander around all day long, working as a part-time worker or something like that. How many taels of silver can you earn throughout the year?! Enough for you to drink and eat meat?"

Li Er said dullly: "Chen Ping'an is leaving soon. Is it possible for me to quit drinking for half a year?"

Unexpectedly, when she heard that Chen Pingan was leaving, the woman became even more angry, "My daughter can't get married because of your father. If you have the ability to be an official, it seems that our shop

Will the matchmaker who comes to ask for a hand in marriage break down the threshold of our house?!"

Li Er remained silent.

The woman complained sadly: "If Li Huai marries a wife in the future, my daughter's family will look down on our family background. I won't let you go out and build a floor in the yard in the winter!"

Li Er scratched his head.

The woman was about to put out the oil lamp when she suddenly heard the door open. She immediately ran around the counter and hid next to Li Er, saying in a trembling voice: "Li Liu went to the mountain. Could it be that a thief came to the door? I will come to ask for money later."

Come on, Li Er, please don't mess around, the scraps of silver in the shop were given to thieves."

Li Er hummed.

Fortunately, the person who opened the door was her daughter Li Liu.

The woman immediately stepped on Li Er's instep and said, "Well, if a thief really comes, even a monkey as thin as a bamboo pole can't be trusted by you and Li Er! Who of us will protect the other will still be able to survive?"

It’s hard to say…”

The woman babbled and cursed the man.

After extinguishing the oil lamp, the family of three went to the backyard. The woman ran out of energy to curse, so she went to bed first.

Li Er and Li Liu were sitting on a bench. Li Liu conjured a pot of immortal wine out of thin air. Li Er shook his head.

If he is really a drinker and really wants to drink that good wine, why can't Li Er drink it?

This time, Li Liu insisted: "Dad, make an exception."

Li Er was a little strange. He took the pot of wine without opening the mud seal, and laughed softly: "I will go back and drink with Li Huai. At his age, he is almost old enough to drink. Then he will be called a lion."

It was a reward from Immortal Master Feng."

Li Liu smiled and said nothing.

Li Er said: "Your mother has actually thought about going back to Aquarius Island many times. After all, she has relatives there and the neighbors have been familiar to each other for generations. It will not be like here. She is an outsider after all, so you
To be continued...
