At dusk, in Xianyou County, Qingyuan County, a small country in the corner of Aoping Continent, outside a martial arts hall, a young Taoist priest who traveled far and wide came.

He claimed to be good friends with Master Xu. The young Taoist priest wore a pair of thousand-layer cloth shoes and looked clean. He held a green bamboo hiking staff and carried a sword box behind him, revealing the hilts of two long swords and a mahogany one.

Material. Carry a package cross-body.

The concierge of the martial arts hall recognizes the peach wood sword. The storyteller in Tianqiao once said that whenever the Taoist priests who practice immortal magic on the mountain travel down the mountain, whether they are Taoist priests from the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain or not, most of them like to carry a peach wood sword as a show of appearance.

The concierge was a disciple who had just entered the martial arts hall a few years ago. Because the world outside has been uneasy in recent years, he asked for a customs clearance document. In fact, this martial arts disciple did not know a few characters, but he was just pretending.

Forget it, nowadays when outsiders travel to the county town, whether they rent carriages, donkeys and mules, or rest at inns, they will be carefully checked by the government officials and patrolmen early on, so there is no chance for a martial arts disciple to check and fill in the gaps.

The concierge returned the ultimatum and said he would report it.

The young Taoist priest smiled and nodded, waiting patiently.

During this cross-continental trip south, Aquarius Island was almost in the same situation. Not to mention the monks on the mountain who looked out for thieves when they saw everyone, the people down the mountain were also very cautious.

For example, even if the watchmen in prefectures, counties and cities are now on night watch, the government offices will arrange for people to follow the watchmen to prevent criminals from escaping and committing crimes. In addition, the Wenwu Temple and the Chenghuang Temple in various places have also been open at night in recent years.

Because the imperial court has already issued an order that every local ancestral temple, large or small, must ensure continuous incense burning, and asked local yamen at all levels to send people to "Dianmao" to offer incense. People who need to get up in the middle of the night have some complaints, but in fact it is

There is no need to complain about trivial matters. Anyway, every household only has its turn once in a while. Moreover, the rich people in the county also take turns to open late-night snack shops, so the common people will not let their trip go in vain.

, some lonely families with poor families liked the action of the yamen, so they burned incense at night and became more sincere. Every day, there would be old masters from schools and famous scholars running around, as well as old people from ancestral halls with different surnames and families.

Even some ancient old people were leaning on crutches to help calm people's hearts. Generally speaking, they said that the war outside was fierce now, but as long as they won, everyone from the Dali Song family's cavalry to their own court would pay attention to the tax issue.

There are subsidies from the government, and the emperor has issued official documents and will never bully others, so as long as he survives it, it will be a good day that only happens once in a century. So if anyone dares to disobey the rules at this time, not only the national law, but also the Yamen Law will be governed

For example, if the family law of the ancestral hall is to be controlled, the family law of the ancestral hall must also be controlled, and the family tree must be expelled. Ordinary people may not know what national laws are, but the family law of a family, especially the power of expelling names from the family tree, is naturally clear to everyone.

Xu Yuanxia walked quickly to the door and saw the young Taoist priest outside the door. She laughed heartily, crossed the threshold, pressed Zhang Shanfeng's shoulders and applied slight pressure, "Good guy, you are so strong that you can even keep up with Xu."

Big brother."

The disciple of the martial arts school who serves as the concierge is a little confused. The master has not been so happy for a long time. The master has many friends and likes to spread his wealth. There are many guests who come to the martial arts studio to eat and drink, but some of the laughter comes from the master's mouth.

After running out of the house, many ways of hospitality in the world are just like this, but today's laughter seemed to come out of the master's eyes.

Xu Yuanxia hugged Zhang Shanfeng, patted the young Taoist priest's back three or two times with her palm, then let go, took a few steps back, nodded and said: "You still look good, half as handsome as Brother Xu when he was young."

Seeing Xu Yuanxia reunited after a long separation, the young Taoist priest was speechless for a moment.

On the mountain, as I got used to the master, the appearance of the brothers remained unchanged.

When Zhang Shanfeng looked at the... old man in front of him.

Zhang Shanfeng suddenly looked dazed.

I saw that the old man's back was straight, his temples were gray, and he had shaved his beard.

It's almost unrecognizable.

The young Taoist priest, who still had the same appearance as before, remembered that the bearded hero in front of him was once in his prime, but before he knew it, he was half a hundred years old and still had a head left.

This is the difference between a martial artist at the foot of the mountain and a trainer on the mountain.

If a pure martial artist can reach the third realm of Qi refining, he may have some skills in keeping his appearance. However, if he never reaches the golden body realm, his appearance will gradually become old, and he will be no different from ordinary people. His hair will also fade and his head will become gray.

.

Zhang Shanfeng put away his thoughts, cupped his fists and said, "Brother Xu!"

Xu Yuanxia pulled Zhang Shanfeng across the threshold and complained in a low voice: "Shanfeng, why are you alone? If that kid doesn't come, I won't be able to drink anymore."

Zhang Shanfeng said helplessly: "This time I took the Pima Zong ferry and needed to pass by the Niujiao Mountain ferry. As a result, I didn't see Chen Ping'an at Luo Lo Mountain. Last time he went to Beiju Luzhou, I happened to not be on the mountain."

Xu Yuanxia said with relief: "It's okay, no need to force it, you are still young."

Speaking of this, Xu Yuanxia laughed and said: "You are still young."

After Xu Yuanxia returned to her hometown, she opened such a martial arts gym. In fact, the Xu family was the local county magistrate. However, Xu Yuanxia had been away from home for too long in her early years and was a side branch, so she was considered to have established her own business. The martial arts gym was operated on a small scale over the years.

He has not taught any particularly successful disciples. The situation of those direct disciples in the martial arts school and the disciples he recruits are about the same. The business is not bleak, but it has not made much of a reputation in the world. However, it is not an inconspicuous martial arts school.

In the martial arts world of this small country, especially in the eyes of interested people, it is not that simple, because some rumors have spread one after another, saying that Master Xu, who is not good at boxing, recognizes several mountain immortal masters, and Master Xu used to be there.

When I was in the army, I also accumulated a few dispensable romantic relationships in the officialdom. Xu Yuanxia is actually quite annoyed by these lies. I have a shitty court romantic relationship, but I am not good at boxing. After all, I am a six-level martial artist, so he is not bad at all.

Bar.

It's just that I can't blame outsiders for being so picky. In fact, Xu Yuanxia has never taken the martial arts realm seriously since she returned home. Not only did she deliberately hide the level of her boxing skills, but she didn't even say a word to the outside world about breaking through the realm and entering the sixth realm. Otherwise, it would not be the same.

A martial artist of the Sixth Realm, he is considered to be the most outstanding celebrity in a small country like Xu Yuanxia's hometown. As long as he is willing to open his door to welcome guests and establish a good relationship with the mountain sect and the court officialdom, he may even have a chance to become the leader of a martial arts world.

A leader.

It's just that the smaller the place, the better the boxing skills, the more grievances and grievances there will be, the more shallow-water bastards, and the most annoying thing about human rights.

Xu Yuanxia privately wrote a landscape travelogue, deleting, deleting, and adding to it, but she never found the bookseller to publish it.

The heroic spirit of my life should be wasted in wine and left to the rivers and lakes I traveled through in the past.

Only when he reunites with a true friend, this bearded swordsman who traveled alone through thousands of mountains and rivers in the past, will he really want to drink.

On the wine table.

When a direct disciple of the martial arts school brought Xu Yuanxia some wine, he was a little surprised. In fact, the master didn't drink much in recent years. Occasionally, he only drank lightly, and mostly drank tea.

Zhang Shanfeng's door-to-door gift was a few cans of tea, bought at the Xianjia Ferry in Anji, a place where he lived. There was a Jinguang Temple next to the ferry. The tea trees planted in the temple had leaves as white as jade veins and green, and they were not expensive. Xu Yuanxia received them at that time.

I drank the tea and couldn't stop laughing. It's a coincidence that I really like drinking tea now. The tea is produced in Anxi, near my hometown of Xianyou County, but it is not Xianjia tea. Anyone with a little wealth can afford it and drink it.

. Let Chen Ping'an pick out his own tea. Be it Anxi or Anxi, they are both good teas with good names.

Thinking back to those days, looks, drinking capacity, boxing skills, knowledge...that boy Chen Pingan didn't compete with Xu Yuanxia and Zhang Shanfeng on anything. Only when it came to names, Chen Pingan wanted to compete, insisting that his name was the best.

"Brother Xu, why are you still single? This is outrageous."

Zhang Shanfeng took a sip of wine and joked: "The three of us have agreed before that when you return home, find a beautiful girl, marry a wife and have children, you will recognize me and Chen Pingan as your godfathers, little cotton-padded jacket"

Of course I have to have a daughter, and then I have two sons, one of whom will learn the Longhu Mountain outer sect technique from me, and the other will learn boxing and sword practice from Chen Ping’an.”

Xu Yuanxia rolled her eyes and drank from a large bowl. She did not persuade Zhang Shanfeng to drink more. She urged others to be heroic at the wine table, but she was not a hero. "I wanted to, too, but I just delayed it again and again. Shanfeng,"

Your way of drinking is so refined that you treat it like drinking tea, not even as good as Chen Ping'an."

Damn the heroes at the wine table, what’s the point of drinking without persuading others?

Xu Yuanxia was drunk, and Zhang Shanfeng was also drunk.

After Xu Yuanxia heard some of Zhang Shanfeng's mountain rumors, she said with emotion that the Sword Qi Great Wall was a place where grievances were clearly defined, a place of revenge and hatred, and definitely not a place where filth and evil spread.

Zhang Shanfeng raised his wine bowl and said he could go with Brother Xu.

Zhang Shanfeng suddenly asked Xu Yuanxia how old Chen Pingan was now.

Xu Yuanxia, ​​who was drunk, shook her head and said that she couldn't remember clearly, so we could leave first.

Xu Yuanxia, ​​no longer a heroic man with a big beard, was completely drunk and fell in front of the wine table. She looked out the door and murmured, wanting to buy sweet-scented osmanthus to drink with her. After all, she was no longer like a teenager. I am old, and I am a teenager.

Zhang Shanfeng was lying on the table, drunkenly and burping from wine, and said, don't be careless. Next time we meet, Chen Pingan will be taller than us.

The flowers will bloom again every year, and no one will be young again. Everyone is like this. A glass of wine with only the spring breeze of peaches and plums is never enough.

A round-faced girl in cotton-padded clothes passed by Tiefu River and walked to Longxu River. She found many leaves in the water.

She finally saw a man squatting by the river, scattering leaves and making a boat. He looked to be in his early twenties, because he was a religious man, so he must be much older.

Liu Xianyang turned his head and immediately smiled brightly when he saw the unfamiliar girl. Ma Liuer stood up and began to introduce himself, "My surname is Liu Xianyang, a local. I studied hard since I was a child. Although I have no fame yet,

I have read thousands of books, traveled thousands of miles, have lofty ambitions, have a small family background, and have an ancestral home in the small town with an excellent location..."

This unfamiliar round-faced girl looked a little confused. Did she not understand the meaning of the words, or did she not understand them at all?

Not a native of Dali? So you can’t understand Mandarin?

Sure enough, the girl asked: "Where is this?"

The elegance of the world.

Liu Xianyang mistakenly thought he was the fairy from other continents who traveled to Aquarius Continent. Nowadays, among the hundreds of schools of thought in Aquarius Continent, there are many young qi practitioners from other continents looking for opportunities to travel around. As the ruins of the old Li Zhudongtian, Longzhou is of course a

A must-choice place.

When Liu Xianyang left his hometown and traveled far away to study when he was young, he had seen the loft of the fairy family on the top of the mountain. The beautiful woman was independent and the ribbons were flying far away. He had seen many scenes like this. After seeing it too many times, it seemed to be just like that.

The scenery is extremely beautiful, but it belongs to others. But the round-faced girl in plain clothes in front of me, whether she speaks softly or blinks her big moist eyes, is also quite nice to hear and look at.

Liu Xianyang smiled and replied: "Aquarius Island, Longzhou."

The girl was stunned. Why did she come to Aquarius Island? It happened to be the place she least wanted to come to.

She is credited with the moon.

Previously at Taoye Ferry in Tongyezhou, he was inexplicably detained by the man in the sleeve. In the world of mountains and rivers in the sleeve, Qiangyue had just cooked a pot of fairy rice. Before he could eat it, he found that he had seen the light of day again, and was inexplicably imprisoned.

She was thrown into a strange mountain, so she had no choice but to ask if the pot of rice could be returned to her. Without any response, Qiangyue had no choice but to follow the road at her feet and wander around casually, passing by a prosperous town at the confluence of three rivers.

, walked all the way here. Because here, there is a mountain top, and the moonlight seems to be naturally richer. It is not the kind of magical magic that the immortal family uses to gather the spiritual energy of the world, so Qiangyue is more curious.

Shenyue said: "My name is Yu Qianyue, I come from the Middle Earth Divine Continent."

The round-faced girl in cotton-padded clothes was quite satisfied with her sudden idea. This was the kind of agility and sophistication one should have when traveling in the world.
