Sword comes

Chen Ping'an returned to the blacksmith's shop. After working, while eating and resting, Chen Ping'an held a bowl and found Master Ruan who was squatting under the eaves with Miss Ruan. Chen Ping'an said that he wanted to borrow money, which might cost fifteen or sixteen taels of silver. .Ruan Qiong didn't even ask Chen Ping'an why he borrowed money, he stopped his chopsticks, glanced at the boy with straw sandals, and popped out two words, "Get out."

Chen Pingan quickly and obediently ran away.

Ruan Xiu frowned and said, "Father, can't you talk properly?"

Ruan Qiong snorted coldly and said, "It was a good conversation without beating him."

Ruan Xiu said, "They worked so hard for you to be an apprentice, and they didn't even get a penny of their wages. When it was dark, everyone stayed in the room and slept, or just chatting, only Chen Ping'an was still working. Moving soil in the well, going to and fro, busy here and there, not idle at all, who is the most diligent in doing things at these times, Dad, you don’t know? You feel your conscience and say, when people ask you to borrow fifteen or six taels Silver, why is it too much?"

Ruan Qiong kept his face dark and didn't speak, thinking to himself, I just know too much about my father, so I want to kill this little bastard who is digging a wall.

If this young man had the ability to move the mountain ape in Zhengyang Mountain, his father would have learned from Qi Jingchun and beat him to half death.Just thinking of this, Ruan Qiong was a little discouraged. Even if he put aside his status as a saint in this world, he was better than a mountain ape.

Ruan Qiong had no choice but to comfort himself. Although he was a fighter sword cultivator in name, his real pursuit was not the strength of the battle, but to become the best swordsmith in the world, and to forge a sword with a high value. It is hoped that the living sword of self-spirituality will be cultivated, so that there will be more real beings in the world who can live and die, can practice, can reincarnate, and can even pursue the Dao.

Ruan Qiong put down the bowls and chopsticks, looked up at the sky, and cursed inexplicably, "I really think that after Qi Jingchun's death, you will be able to be lawless? My rules have been clearly told to you, and now that you don't follow them, take them out. If you have the ability to break the rules, if you don't, then die."

Seeing that there was no one around, Ruan Qiong, who was originally squatting, rose from the ground, like a snow-white Changhong blasting from the ground and lasing into the high-altitude sea of ​​clouds.

Above the sea of ​​​​clouds, there are several women in palace costumes, women and men in brocade clothes and jade belts. There is a liveliness between the veritable chat and laughter.

A loud bang.

The head of a graceful and luxurious woman with golden hairpins cracked.Then there was a beautiful girl beside her, her head also blossomed.In turn, men and women, no exception.

Ruan Qiong hovered above the golden sea of ​​​​clouds, his eyes were sharp, he looked around, and sneered: "Why, just use such a small fish to test my Ruan Qiong's bottom line? Isn't it too contemptuous, I Although Ruan Qiong is a blacksmith, he is far inferior to Qi Jingchun, but how difficult is it to kill one or two tenth-floor monks who don't have long eyes? Then from now on, there is one more rule here, everyone listens clearly Well, even if I hide from you and covet Lizhu Blessed Land outside the border, as long as Ruan Qiong is in a bad mood, I will grab you into the sky above Blessed Land and smash your head, believe it or not."

Ruan Qiong just finished speaking, and flashed away outside the border. The next moment I saw him holding an old man's head with one hand, grabbing it back within the border, and pressing with five fingers, the immortal old man begged for mercy. Said: "Master Ruan! Master Ruan! If you have something to say, talk about it! The old man is from the nearby Ziyan River..."

Before the old man could finish speaking, Ruan Qiong squeezed the head of the immortal master and threw the corpse out of the territory of his own happy land, but the green rainbow light that escaped from the corpse was just cold. Glancing at it, he didn't beat the Reservoir Dog.The green rainbow, which was only more than three feet long, flew wildly for nearly a thousand miles, and plunged into a large river with faint purple smoke rising and wafting.

Ruan Qiong, who had blood on his five fingers, said loudly, "It's the same in Jiazi."

In the distant sea of ​​clouds, a female cultivator used the clouds and mist to hide her figure, and said angrily: "The method is so bloody and cruel, where is the saint who sits majestically in a place of luck."

Ruan Qiong laughed angrily, "Yo, I've learned smart, I muttered after hiding so far, I don't think I can hold you, right? Damn it, I'm not Qi Jingchun's stupid guy, you are with me. The military swordsman talks about morality and etiquette, do you have a hole in your head?"

Ruan Qiong slanted his arm downward, put his fingers together, and said silently in his heart: "The sky is swaying, the earth is shattering, the thunder and the pond fire, and it is as urgent as the law!"

In an instant, there were two auras in the sky and the ground surging violently, like two springs that had just appeared in the world.

In another place, a warm voice hurriedly reminded: "No, it's Ruan Qiong's double sword of life! Lan Ting, retreat quickly! Ruan Qiong's life is different from ordinary people, and it is not cultivated in the acupoints. Existing between the three thousand miles of heaven and earth around him, the two soldiers of the yin gods who followed him wandered around..."

Above the sea of ​​clouds, there is a splendid green firefly, desperately fleeing for his life, and beyond the firefly, there is a branch of crystal clear peach blossoms circling, escorting the host.

After this faint green streamer swept away for eight hundred miles in one breath, a cyan silk thread fell from the sky and passed through the skull.

The man who spoke for her righteously, seeing that the opportunity was not good, disappeared early with a unique escape technique.

The sky was silent, and no one dared to make a noise.

Ruan Qiong sneered, and no longer bothered with this group of mischievous ghosts, and fell back to the stream near the blacksmith shop.

Ruan Qiong sighed and said sadly, "Qi Jingchun, if you're half as unreasonable as me, why would you be so aggrieved?"

----

On the shore, Chen Ping'an was walking for an hour. On the way back, after practicing, he was stretching and relaxing his muscles and bones. Chen Ping'an suddenly saw Master Ruan walking ashore from the stream. He hesitated, slowed down, and did not touch the nails.For some reason, Chen Ping'an always felt that Master Ruan had a bad impression of him, and he looked at him a bit like old man Yao, showing disgust.

Ruan Qiong ignored the boy and walked back to the blacksmith shop on his own.

Chen Ping'an suddenly turned his head and looked at the stream.

Calm as usual, nothing out of the ordinary.

But Chen Ping'an just suddenly felt a little tighter, like a man on his back, like a water ghost who died unjustly in the stream, staring at himself, a very absurd feeling.

Just in sight, the stream is gurgling, cheerful and soft.

Chen Pingan did not give up, picked up a few stones of the right weight, turned around and walked downstream along the stream, carefully looking at the movement in the stream, trying to find some clues.

The more Chen Ping'an looked, the more he felt that something was wrong. In broad daylight, the stream actually gave people a gloomy look. Even though Chen Ping'an had sneaked into the deep pit under the back of the green ox so many times, he had never felt such a clear feeling of boredom.Chen Ping'an can now be sure that there are incredible monsters, ghosts and ghosts in the world. In the past, Mr. Qi was in a small town, so no evil could invade. Now Mr. Qi is no more. We must be careful, even if Master Ruan is the next so-called "sage", Chen Ping'an does not dare to take it lightly. In the final analysis, Chen Ping'an still trusts Mr. Qi more. For the unsmiling Master Ruan, there must be a sense of awe and closeness. Then there is none.

The reason why Chen Pingan dared to follow his feelings and actively searched for the strangeness in the stream was that Master Ruan walked on his front feet. Chen Pingan didn't think that if there were really ghosts in the water, he would dare to kill himself under the eyes of the saint.Besides, Chen Ping'an now hides the pair of landscape seals presented by Mr. Qi in his sleeves, one of which is the word "water", so the juvenile is particularly daring.

Chen Ping'an was about to bend over to pick up after throwing two handfuls of stones, when someone asked not far away, "What are you doing?"

The girl with a ponytail in Tsing Yi turned out to be Ruan Xiu.

Chen Ping'an has been concentrating on dealing with the water. He didn't notice Miss Ruan's approach, and didn't hide it. Not afraid of her jokes, he pointed his finger at the surface of the stream and answered honestly, "I thought there was something dirty in the water, so I wondered if it could be done. Hit it with a stone."

Ruan Xiu looked at the stream, looked at it intently, her face sank.

Chen Pingan asked, "Is there really a problem?"

Ruan Xiu shook her head, "I can't see it."

Chen Pingan smiled and said, "It should be me being suspicious."

Ruan Xiu whispered: "You go back first, I want to eat something here and then go back to the shop. If my father asks, you say you didn't see it."

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "No problem."

He remembered something, found an angular stone from the ground, and asked, "Miss Ruan, can I ask you what some words mean and how to read them?"

Ruan Xiu suddenly felt like a formidable enemy.

read?

Books are simply the most terrifying enemy in the world.Just flipping through a page of the book, each word is like a great cultivator arranging troops. Ruan Xiu has a headache every time she sees Ruan Xiuyao. After she entered the town with her father Ruan Qiong, she should If you go to school, you don’t have to help fight iron and cast swords at all, but you can’t kill them. Your stomach hurts today, your head is hot tomorrow, it might rain the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, you will have a broken foot... Ruan Qiong is really too lazy to hear those lame excuses. , only let Ruan Xiu go.

It's just that Ruan Xiu didn't want to show her timidity in front of the boy today, she forced herself to remain calm, and said with a far-fetched smile, "You can write it down first."

When Chen Pingan carved two characters on the ground with stones, Ruan Xiu changed her body and said with a confident smile: "These two characters are too simple. I have known them since I was very young. One is a divine character, and the other is court." The words, taken together, are the names of acupuncture points in the human body.

In the end, the spirits and monsters of the Tao had to transform into humans, because the human body is the most suitable for cultivation. The 360 ​​five orifices, large and small, are all treasures like mountains of gold and silver. The ancients said that the orifices are the place of "spirit" Walking in and out, our human souls are like children who eat hundreds of meals, eat a bowl of rice at one house, drink a bowl of water at another house, and then continue to nurture and grow stronger. "

Ruan Xiu explained, then stretched out a finger, pressed her head, and smiled: "As for this divine court, it is here, you stroke the hairline on your head and move up five minutes, this orifice point, for Military sword cultivators like my father and I are not so important. Well, in our jargon, they do not belong to 'a battleground for military strategists'. Chuqiao acupoint is very important, but my father said that those gods and ghosts have no great prospects, no matter how great their supernatural powers are, and no matter how wide the ghost path is, they are just pitiful worms who depend on others and are not worth mentioning."

Chen Ping'an couldn't understand all of them, so he could only memorize them by rote, and then asked "Juque" and "Taiyuan" respectively.

Ruan Xiu also answered one by one. Although the girl didn't like to read, she just didn't like the classic books of the Confucian sages. The girl liked the military practice and sword training very much. She was familiar with the names of these acupoints since she was a child. Heart.

Before Chen Ping asked for help, the girl grinned and said, "When I have free time, I will tell you the names, directions and uses of the five acupoints of 360."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "I trouble you, Miss Ruan."

Ruan Xiu asked, "Do you find it troublesome to ask you to buy cakes for me so many times?"

Chen Pingan shook his head.A little effort, of course, no trouble.

Ruan Xiu smiled happily and said, "That's enough."

She suddenly felt a little regretful and regretted, "Even if you know about these acupoints, they don't really mean much. The reason why there are so many sideways and crooked ways in the world's cultivation is that they have different ways of nourishing and refining their qi, and they are lost by a tiny bit. Qianli. Of course, my family also has the two spiritual methods of dispersing qi and nourishing qi, which are in the same blood, but they cannot be passed on. This is not a question of whether my father agrees or not.

Chen Ping'an is not the kind of person who can measure up to an inch. He quickly explained with a smile: "It's all right, I just want to know more words, I don't think so much. Besides, I have a boxing score that I can practice, but this boxing score is on the list. I almost couldn't practice it, so how can I be distracted."

Ruan Xiu smiled relievedly, and patted her chest lightly, "That's good."

Trembling, the scenery is unique here.

Chen Ping'an quickly restrained his unintentional gaze, got up and said sternly: "Miss Ruan, look back and wait for your free time, I can go back to Mud Bottle Alley later anyway."

Ruan Xiu got up, nodded and smiled, "Okay."

Chen Pingan trotted to the blacksmith shop.

Ruan Xiu walked off the shore and came to the stream. She took out a handkerchief first, threw a piece of cake into her mouth, and slowly chewed the aftertaste.

After Chen Ping'an arrived in the small town, she stretched out her hand and rolled up a section of her sleeve, revealing the scarlet bracelet, looked at the clear stream, and said in a deep voice: "The fire dragon walks in the water." The bracelet instantly liquefied, and there was a moment. The living creature woke up, struggled and twisted continuously, and finally turned into a small dragon wrapped in flames. It connected head to tail, and just wrapped around the girl's wrist.

Following an order from the girl in blue.

This red-red Flood Dragon, which was originally less than a foot long, jumped into the stream.

One zhang, three zhang, ten zhang.

Fire dragons can also walk on water!

Ruan Xiu ordered: "It's alright."

The fire dragon with a body as long as ten feet no longer continued to grow, but all the nearby streams evaporated. Not only that, the upstream stream was like a defeated soldier who was scared to death. He didn't dare to continue to charge, so he gathered together, making the water surface of the stream. It continued to rise, while the downstream stream continued to rush away.

Ruan Xiu narrowed her eyes.

Wait for the water to come out.

She walked at the bottom of the dried-up stream on the riverbed and followed the fire dragon of ten feet.

Now that the cave is broken, the restrictions carefully arranged by the four saints have also disappeared, so they can't help but have magical powers.

This is also the root cause of why Ruan Qiong set up rules and was thunderous when he made a move. Even though this place used to be the smallest one among the 36 small caves, it was also the least known for its talents and treasures, but it was born in Xiaodongtian after all. Blessed land, all kinds of benefits are still of great benefit to practice, now there is no big formation to restrain it, once no one is restrained, outside monks will swarm in, mixed with fish and dragons, with impure thoughts, and in the end there are more than 6000 people in the town, except for those old people who survived by chance. The tortoise king and the rest of the mortals are estimated to die within a day.

In fact, military affairs also pay attention to rules, but they pay more attention to flexibility. They are far more flexible and changeable than Confucianism, and they can act cheaply depending on the situation.

After about a stick of incense, the fire dragon, who was constantly flapping around in the riverbed, seemed to have finally caught the cunning target.

Ruan Xiu walked near the head of the fire dragon and looked down. Under the fire dragon's claws, there was a woman curled up. She was grabbed by her claws at her waist.

She asked curiously, "Little River God, dare to run wild in front of my house? My father killed six Jiangshui Zhengshen in a row, haven't you heard of it?"

He Po, who turned from a dry old woman to a young woman, begged: "Da Xian Da Xian, the slaves just pass by this place, and they have no intention of harming anyone. Besides, the slaves dared to reveal the yin spirit, hoping to help Ruan Shengren increase the water weight of the stream. , Thinking of being able to do a little bit, Daxian don't get angry, if he thinks that the little one is ugly and annoying, then he will only dare to walk at night when he is young..."

Ruan Xiu asked bluntly, "Do you know Chen Pingan?"

He Po, whose waist was held by the fire dragon, aged rapidly, but only dared to whimper pitifully. The chick pecking at the rice nodded and said, "I know, the little one was originally from Xinghua Lane, and Chen Ping'an was an orphan from Niping Lane. , There are occasional intersections, but there is no grievance. The slaves just rarely see people from the small town by the stream recently. I saw the young man practicing boxing today, and I was curious, so I took a few more glances. This kind of catastrophe, Daxian thinks that for the sake of slaves and servants who do not understand the rules, he will be merciful..."

Ruan Xiu waved his hand, and the fire dragon turned into a simple red bracelet with a simple pattern, which was worn on the girl's wrist.

Ruan Xiu was still standing in the distance, and behind him was the swift and violent stream.

But the scene that made He Po’s heart tremble appeared. If the stream encounters a natural enemy high above, it will descend before the battle, and will automatically detour and rush downstream.

What was even more terrifying was that He Po could sense that the girl in Tsing Yi did not use any magical powers at all.

Ruan Xiu said with a smile: "Don't be in a daze, talk about the things about Xinghua Lane and Mud Ping Lane, everything, just say what you know."

He Po, who had regained her freedom, began to slowly regain her youth, but the next moment, she was so frightened that she couldn't help screaming. It turned out that the crow-blue waterfall was shrinking in length, and her heart was torn apart. Lung Road: "Why is my Taoism passing away!"

The girl in Tsing Yi was eating cakes and said vaguely, "Ah? That's it, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you that I am born with the body of a fire god, and I am a natural enemy with water."

He Po Qiang calmed down, silently weeping and begging: "I beg Daxian to show mercy, and spare the servant's unintentional offense this time."

Ruan Xiu thought for a while, "I will call you to tell the story in the future, don't worry, I will hide my life breath."

He Po was saddened and did not dare to refuse, so she had to agree.

Ruan Xiu walked to the shore and turned around and said, "This is not an example."

He Po repeatedly said that he did not dare.

After the girl came ashore, she shook her ponytail and walked to the blacksmith's shop.

He Po's body was submerged in the stream, and her face was full of hideous resentment, but after suffering several losses, she began to know how to suppress this anger.

A string of other people's heartfelt voices echoed in her heart.

"Idiot, put away your ignorance, do you know, what is the opportunity for that girl to preach in the future? Even if you kill all the rivers and water gods in one continent, you little river woman, how dare you have murderous intentions for this person? You are not afraid to make people laugh. If you lose her big teeth, even if people stretch their necks and let you kill, in the end, only you will die! Do you know how sensitive she is to any femininity in the water? So what you are thinking at the moment is not wrong, she The first river god to be killed in the future is you! So think about how to remedy it, this disaster that was originally a disaster is also the seed for you to get a big chance."

"This is the last time to remind you that if you go beyond the rules in the slightest, I will let you live and die without anyone else taking action."

After He Po's voice disappeared, she was dazed and hovered in the water, her body swaying, but lifeless.

The avenues are vague and uncertain, making people disheartened.

----

Ruan Qiong saw his daughter jumping in in the sword casting room, and said angrily, "Are you happy to bully a poor He Po?"

The girl smiled brightly and said, "Then I will bully her again when she becomes the god of rivers."

Ruan Qiong frowned and said, "Xiuxiu, don't take the river gods and river gods seriously, they are the orthodox water gods who are included in the list of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas of one continent. Although they are not comparable to the gods of the Five Sacred Mountains in various countries, killing them in the water, It's not easy."

The girl snorted and said casually, "Then let them have no water to live in."

Ruan Qiong was shocked, and then quickly suppressed the smile that was about to emerge from the corner of his mouth.
