Chapter 3412: The chessboard of the world, chess pieces break the game

"Did Cui Chan notice the changes in the military fortunes of the Great Li Dynasty and worry that I would join other dynasties with the four people from Ouhua Blessed Land and Pei Qian, so he asked you to come and persuade me!"

"Well, the old Imperial Master wants to make a deal with Mr. As long as Pei Qian, Zhu Lian and others join the Dali family, the Dali Dynasty is willing to donate the soil from the roots of the Five Mountains. Each mountain can give ten kilograms, which is enough for Sir, you have refined two natal items!”

Chen Ping'an did not answer directly, and walked out of the martial arts temple. The silvery white moonlight fell, as if covering him with a layer of gauze. He turned back to look at the young man in white and asked in a deep voice.

"Cui Dongshan, what do you think of the deal Cui Han wants to make with me?"

Cui Dongshan was stunned when he heard this. He was originally the incarnation of Cui Chan. He was cut off by the old scholar's methods and became an independent individual. However, he still has an unclear relationship with Cui Chan.

"Can you trust me, sir?"

"I can't believe it, but even if it's a lie, I still want to hear your opinion?"

Chen Pingan is very frank and forthright, without any cover-up or hypocrisy. His eyes are bright and sincere.

Cui Dongshan had a bit of a wry smile on his face. He didn't know whether to agree with Chen Pingan's frankness or to complain about Chen Pingan's lack of concealment.

"Okay then, I will tell my husband about these lies of mine and give them a reference. You can think for yourself whether they make sense or not!"

"Pei Qian and the others have joined the Dali Dynasty. For Mr., it is a matter of great benefit and no harm. We might as well use this to make an offer to the Song family of the Dali Dynasty. We will first bring ten kilograms of five-color soil each. As for the Will Mr. himself change his place of origin from Da Li to Da Sui, or his place of origin elsewhere? He will wait until the day when the Five Mountains of Da Li obtain the orthodox status of Aquarius Continent before making a decision. Chi, even during this period, the master used the five-color soil to refine the life object, and it was safe. Even if the Dali Dynasty complained, there was nothing they could do. Even the great monks in the Ascension Realm could not stop the sword from behind the master. Mr. Mister’s background is strong enough, whether he is from the literary sage lineage or the green-shirted swordsman from the Great Wall of Sword Qi, it is enough for the Great Li Dynasty to treat him with caution!”

Chen Ping'an stopped, lowered his head in thought, a pair of clear eyes flashed with bright light. He did not agree with Cui Dongshan's view. A gentleman should be cautious and treat others with sincerity. He should not decide who Pei Qian will be just because he can gain benefits. We should not go back on our word and be that repetitive villain.

Cui Dongshan walked more than ten steps before he stopped and turned to look at the young boy with straw sandals with a determined expression. His face seemed to be glowing with righteousness, making Cui Dongshan, a young man who was like an immortal, not dare to talk to him. Their eyes met, and the boy in white tilted his head unnaturally, his eyes lowered and evasive, staring at the soil under his feet.

"Sir, tonight I will go to the Man Mo Temple to find out what happened in the Man Mo Temple. If evil cultivators are at work, I will do justice to God and earn a small amount of virtue for you. If the landscape is not well educated and the local people are responsible for their own evil, I also hope that the teacher will allow students to stand by and let the incense in this place fend for itself.

Chen Ping'an nodded, agreed with Cui Dongshan's approach, turned around and walked back, preparing to return to the inn where he stayed in the county to meet Zhu Lian, Pei Qian and others.

"gentlemen!"

Cui Dongshan shouted quickly to stop Chen Ping'an. The straw-shoe boy turned his head and asked with a smile.

"What's wrong?"

The red mole between the eyebrows of the young man in white became increasingly red and charming. His handsome and flawless face no longer had the playful smile of the past. He was lazy and unruly, and became more serious. He looked at Chen Pingan and said slowly.

"The four people from Lotus Flower Blessed Land, as Mr.'s followers, are somewhat disrespectful to him. During this period of time, the students, because they abide by their duties as masters and disciples, have watched with cold eyes and never spoken. They are heartbroken and implore you, sir, to allow the students to teach them the rules starting tomorrow! "

Cui Dongshan once again showed off his acting skills. With an extremely sad look, he played a student who is worried about his husband with sincerity.

Chen Ping'an sighed secretly in his heart, he couldn't have confidence in Cui Dongshan. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, a half-smile expression appeared on his face, and he asked in a strange tone.

"What are you going to do?"

Cui Dongshan stood in front of the Martial Arts Temple, with the dimly lit Martial God statue behind him, solemn and sacred, and spoke in a firm tone full of piety.

"Of course I follow Mr.'s teachings, convince others with reason, and convince others with virtue!"

Chen Pingan turned around and left, too lazy to pay attention to Cui Dongshan, who was like a dramatist, but he did not object to Cui Dongshan's proposal. Although he didn't know what Cui Dongshan's purpose was, he also believed that Cui Dongshan would do things in a measured way and would not do anything wrong. Something too outrageous happened.

After all, as Cui Dongshan said, Chen Ping'an also has a background and backing. Even the national preceptor of the Great Li Dynasty, Xiuhu Cui Chan, did not look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, and he did not dare to ignore the Great Wall of Sword Qi. The green-robed swordsman and the extremely shabby old scholar did something bad to Chen Ping'an.

The night was already dark and the chill was chilling. After Chen Pingan returned to the inn, he found that Zhu Lian and others were still awake. Even Xiao Pei Qian, who was usually the sleepiest, was yawning and sitting on the bench with sleepy eyes, waiting for the master. return.

Chen Ping'an sat at the table. The old cook Zhu Lian put a cup of tea in front of him. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip before speaking to a few people.

"There are indeed some problems with Man Mo Temple, and they have been tampered with. However, Cui Dongshan will handle them properly and will not affect our schedule tomorrow."

Zhu Lian and others walked from the central part of Tongyezhou to Qingluan Country in the southeast of Baopingzhou. They experienced many life-and-death battles and were not interested in the Wenwu Temple in this small county. Although there was a gust of demonic wind and rain, it was destined not to cause a big wave. What they really cared about was Cui Dongshan's first move, and they wanted to take this opportunity to get a glimpse of the details and background of the young man in white.

Sui Youyou had a cold temperament and the simplest mind among the four people in Ouhua Fudi. He was straightforward and would not beat around the bush. He asked directly.

"Cui Dongshan, is he really your student?"

Chen Ping'an reached out and touched Pei Qian's little head. She was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, but she still didn't want to go to bed because she was afraid of ghosts and didn't sleep well. She liked to kick the quilt. If she accidentally rubbed off the yellow talisman on her forehead, the mountain spirits and ghosts would have a chance to take advantage of her and she couldn't protect herself.

Chen Ping'an once told the charcoal-like little girl that this yellow talisman has some rules and taboos. Although it is a talisman for traveling through mountains and rivers, it can deter evil spirits and make some inferior mountain and water gods and ghosts feel awe, but it is also a beacon, which is easy to attract the covetousness and hatred of some evil spirits who are not afraid of the strong wind in the world.

"Although Cui Dongshan came up to me shamelessly at the beginning, he is indeed my student. During this period of time, you should have understood his character and temper, and he is arrogant and conceited. But as long as you don't provoke him, Cui Dongshan will not take the initiative to calculate you."

"You also understand some of these rules and regulations of walking in Haoran World, such as bullying mountains but not water, and when entering the temple to worship Buddha, there is no need to wait for many people. These are actually what Cui Dongshan told me at the beginning."

Chen Ping'an didn't care about Cui Dongshan's intention to teach Zhu Lian and others the rules. Cui Dongshan was extremely proud in his heart and didn't value the four people in Ouhua Fudi very much. It was not worth his active calculation. Of course, Chen Ping'an was embarrassed to say this directly, because it was too hurtful and would embarrass Zhu Lian and others.

Cui Dongshan was entangled with Chen Ping'an, but his eyes were not on Chen Ping'an himself. His real target was in the extremely distant shadow and behind the curtain. It was Qi Jingchun, who united the three religions, the old scholar in the land of the three continents, A Liang who ascended to the outer world and fought against the second Taoist, and Lu Chen, the Taoist master who now sat on the twelfth floor of the five cities of Baiyujing.

As for the blue-shirted swordsman who sat cross-legged on the highest point of the sword energy Great Wall, the first swordsman in the world, the great swordsman who was most likely to enter the fifteenth realm after the founder of the three religions, Cui Dongshan did not dare to directly attack his edge, and the embroidered tiger Cui Luo did not dare to play a game with him. He only regarded him as an existence outside the chessboard, but did not have any calculations.

The Dali Dynasty was able to build the sword tower that imitated Baiyujing, with the support of Yin-Yang School and Mohist School behind it. In addition, Zhenwu Mountain and Fengxue Temple, as the ancestral home of military strategists in Aquarius Continent, have long been deeply involved with Dali. In addition, the prosperous business in the southernmost Old Dragon City, the most powerful schools of thought outside the three religions, except for the Legalists and the School of Diplomacy, have not yet appeared. The Dali Dynasty has already won the favor of many forces outside the continent.

The above factors are the confidence of the Dali Song family to annex half of Aquarius Continent. On the surface, the Dali Iron Cavalry and the vassal king Song Changjing conquered cities and conquered thousands of miles of territory, but in fact, they were secretly testing Cui Luo's means and strategies.

The big chess game of the Dali Dynasty going south involves so many complex forces. The person who made the specific plan and helped the Dali Song family with everything ready was the white-haired national teacher, Cui Luo, the traitorous disciple of the Wensheng lineage, and the master of all achievements.

Chen Ping'an's journey has always been in Cui Luo's calculations. Every step and every move has not gone beyond the chessboard. Of course, Cui Luo will not underestimate Chen Pingan because of this. Instead, he is full of fear, because Chen Pingan's background is too strong, and the long sword behind him makes Chen Pingan have the ability to break the game.

If the straw sandal boy disregards everything and pulls out the fairy sword behind him, he can directly overturn the table, break the whole chess game, and completely disrupt all Cui Luo's calculations. This is one of the reasons why Cui Dongshan has always been shameless and followed Chen Pingan. It is not only because of the old scholar's order, but also because Cui Luo does not want his junior brother to disrupt his own arrangements and calculations, which will lead to the failure of the Dali Dynasty's plan to annex Dongbaopingzhou.

One country rules one continent, even if Dongbaopingzhou is the smallest continent among the nine continents of Haoran Tianxia, ​​it is also an unprecedented feat and the most powerful evidence to prove the theory of Wensheng's achievements. Cui Luo will never allow anyone to make trouble, even if it is the closed junior brother of Wensheng's lineage.

"Is this Cui Dongshan a successful cultivator who has returned to the original state?"

Lu Baixiang, who is gentle and bookish, looks at Chen Pingan with a gentle look, and his face shows curiosity. He asks about Cui Dongshan's background.

Chen Pingan pondered for a while, first considered the language, sorted out his thoughts, and then began to answer the questions of Lu Baixiang, the founder of the Ouhua Fudi Demon Sect.

"He was once a serious Confucian student. His hometown was in Aquarius Continent. Later, he went to study in the Central Earth Shenzhou. His cultivation level was, well, relatively high before, but later it dropped. I can't tell what level of Qigong he is now, and I haven't asked." Zhu Lian had an old face, but his eyes were bright, sharp and energetic, and he asked with a smile. "I heard that the great cultivators in the world have strong bodies, not inferior to the pure warriors of the third level of the Spirit Refining Realm. I wonder how good is the boxing of this mountain immortal with a young face? Does he have any magic weapon to break the nectar armor on Wei Xian's body?"

Zhu Lian's abacus beads jingled, and he almost wrote his thoughts on his face, which made Chen Ping'an feel helpless and could only sigh and smile bitterly.

"The ugly talk is ahead. If any of you are willing to test Cui Dongshan, I will definitely not stop you. You will only be responsible for the consequences. Don't blame me for not warning you!"

At this time, Pei Qian also opened his sleepy eyes, yawned loudly, forced himself to cheer up, looked at Chen Pingan, and said aggrievedly.

"He is so powerful, I don't dare compete with him to become a disciple of Shandong University. From now on, I will probably call him senior brother!"

"Little girl, why are you still cursing people behind their backs?"

"Who is your eldest brother? You are the eldest brother. Your whole family is the eldest brother. Do you know how to speak well?"

Cui Dongshan floated into the inn, his clothes were as white as snow, spotless, with a furious expression on his face. He yelled and cursed at the charcoal-like little girl, as if he was disgusted with the title of senior brother. , leaving Zhu Lian and others confused.

Pei Qian was originally a little afraid of Cui Dongshan. When he saw this white figure floating straight into the inn, like a ghost, he was so frightened that his face turned pale. He closed his eyes tightly and grabbed Chen Ping'an's arm with one hand and the other. He pressed his hand tightly on the yellow talisman on his forehead, muttered something in his mouth, and his body was trembling. He didn't dare to argue or argue with Cui Dongshan. He still had the arrogance that he had before, fearing neither heaven nor earth.

Chen Pingan patted Pei Qian on the head to calm her down, then looked at the young man in white and asked.

"How is the matter at Man Mo Temple handled?"

"I have settled everything. I have met both the deity and the mastermind behind the Man Mo Temple. Both parties are easy to talk to. I convince students with reason and virtue. I tell them the facts and reason with them. If it weren't for me, I was worried that my husband would be anxious, so I hurried back to inform him that the gods of Man Mo Temple would pull the earth god to bring out several jars of aged wine buried deep in the ground, and they would hold hands with me until dawn. "

Cui Dongshan had a serious expression and waved his fists. It was obvious that his ability to convince people with reason, persuasion with morality, reasoning, and presenting facts was inseparable from the deterrence of his fists, so he could easily settle the matter.

Chen Pingan nodded slightly and did not ask specifically about the hidden secret. Although he did not trust Cui Dongshan's virtue, he was full of confidence in Cui Dongshan's fists.

Cui Dongshan did not elaborate on the secrets involved. He sat at the table, filled himself a cup of tea, drank a few sips, then looked around, his eyes passing over the faces of the four people in Ouhua Paradise, and the handsome faces showed He smiled faintly, and the red mole between his eyebrows became more and more delicate, like a drop of blood, rolling faintly, and he joked in a weird tone.

"What are you doing if you don't sleep at night? Go to bed early and get up early to be healthy. You don't know how to maintain your health. Are you going to delay my husband's rest?"

As soon as these words came out, Pei Qian, whom Cui Dongshan was most afraid of, immediately stood up and ran back to the room in a hurry, as if a mountain spirit was chasing him behind him. He didn't dare to look back, and pressed his forehead with both small hands. The yellow talisman had words in its mouth.

"Fu Lu protect Pei Qian, and the demons and ghosts go away."

Cui Dongshan's ears trembled slightly, and his hearing was very sensitive. The little girl's whisper was like whispering in his ear, which made his face stiffen. He stared at the charcoal-like skinny figure with unkind eyes, and his calculations poured out one after another. Any calculation can make a little girl suffer.

However, the young man in white turned his head and glanced at Chen Ping'an. After all, he was his founding disciple and his fellow sect. He couldn't be too shady, so he extinguished all his plans and shook his head helplessly.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Lian, Lu Baixiang, Sui Xiang, and Wei Xian also stood up and returned to their rooms in silence, without any more curiosity and gossip.

Chen Pingan also stood up, took a deep look at Cui Dongshan, paused briefly, and said hesitantly.

"If you secretly get involved in the debate about Buddhism and Taoism in Qingluan Kingdom, you'd better tell me clearly in advance. At worst, I will bypass the capital and wait for you at the Xianjia Ferry in the east, lest you and I, teachers and students, turn against each other. You Cui Dongshan once again deceived your master and destroyed your ancestors."

Cui Dongshan's eyes narrowed slightly, but his handsome and refined face revealed an aggrieved expression, and he said sadly.

"Sir, he has an upright mind and is as bright as the moon. When we traveled together in the Sui Dynasty, the students felt like a spring breeze by his side. How can he judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain today?"

"I understand. It must be the four people from Lotus Flower Land who have been together with you for a long time, which made you tainted with some market spirit. It's all their fault. Tomorrow, students must teach them some principles and rules!"

Chen Pingan glared at Cui Dongshan angrily and cursed unceremoniously.

"roll!"

The young man dressed in white floated out like a ghost, his figure floating in the air. He also deliberately passed by Pei Qian's window, his voice was shrill and sinister, and he issued a kind reminder.

"Pei Qian, you and I are teachers. Let me tell you, as long as you don't open the window, you won't see the hanging man hanging upside down with his tongue hanging out. As long as you don't get your head out of bed, you won't see the man lying upside down. Over there at the head of the bed, the embroidered female ghost wearing a bright red wedding dress, married to the ghost king of the mass graves, as long as you are older You won’t get up thirsty in the middle of the night to drink water, and you will definitely not see the drowned water ghosts with bloated bellies and pale faces. Oh, and by the way, there are also those long-haired girls who die in vain. They like to curl up at the feet of little girls. But don’t be afraid, if you look at it horizontally or vertically, it’s just a big ball of hair!”

The charcoal girl hid in the quilt, not daring to show her head. She held her ears tightly with both hands, curled up into a ball, trembling constantly, and was extremely scared.

Cui Dongshan showed a smug smile on his face, and his figure floated to Lu Baixiang's window and said with a smile.

"I heard from you that you are a great chess player. How about I learn chess from you tomorrow?"

"If Mr. Cui is interested, I am willing to play a game with you tomorrow!"

Cui Dongshan nodded slightly, and his figure floated again, gradually going away.

Outside the inn, two gods, one civil and one martial, stood outside the door, with solemn expressions, like two door gods, guarding the inn tirelessly.
