Chapter 3438: Human hearts are full of evil, and grudges are settled.

Gu Canniang twitched her lips, as if she disagreed with Liu Zhimao's point of view, but due to some reasons, she did not refute.

Naturally, Liu Zhimao didn't want the woman who could influence Gu Can to turn entirely to Chen Ping'an. He sighed and changed the subject.

"But then again, Chen Pingan's idea may not be wrong in Haoran World, but he still doesn't understand Shujian Lake. He doesn't understand that the rivers and lakes here are dangerous and chaotic. The principles that are common in Haoran World have nothing to do here. Yes, if Gu Can really follows his principles, he will definitely end up dead without a burial place."

Liu Zhimao is not a young man like Gu Can, who has never seen the outside world. He has also traveled in Haoran World when he was young, and knows that the world of Haoran World and Shujian Lake are different and cannot be generalized. He needs to follow the local customs and adapt to local conditions.

"But fortunately, after Chen Pingan stayed in Shujian Lake for a while, he also understood the rules and environment of Shujian Lake, and no longer pointed out Gu Can's actions. Madam, let's turn the logic around again. Chen Pingan is People value feelings the most. As long as you talk to them about feelings, it will work better than anything else!"

Liu Zhimao was on the outside, watching with cold eyes, and was aware of the changes that had taken place in Chen Pingan, but he still underestimated Chen Pingan. This poor young man in Mud Bottle Lane in the past did not succumb to the special environment of Shujian Lake. Adapting measures to local conditions and different people, I have learned some new principles.

Mother Gu Can was thoughtful, feeling that what Li Zhimao said made sense and was not just perfunctory to fool her, and she breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Chen Ping'an doesn't come to steal Can'er's little loach and opportunity, he is still a good child. She doesn't have to break up and can continue to maintain the original relationship.

Immediately, Gu Can's mother's face showed a look of annoyance. According to Liu Zhimao, Chen Ping'an did something wrong when he carried Gu Can down the mountain that day, which may have weakened the relationship a little.

Whenever she had free time in the past two years, Mother Gu Can would not only like to have the maids in the house rub her shoulders and pat her back, fan the wind to beat the heat, and hold the stove to keep warm, but she would also let a maid who was said to be the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites read aloud various poems. The contents of these books explain the great principles praised by scholar-bureaucrats and literati. Although she has heard a lot, she does not agree with the principles of these scholars.

However, there are some allusions in the book that greatly inspired Mrs. Gu Can. For example, she heard an allusion before. There was a fire in someone's home. After hearing the news, she only cared about whether there were casualties and never asked about the loss of property. This person became a changed person. He became famous and became a famous sage among scholars. There are also meritorious generals who are famous in history. They are in high positions, but they are willing to suck pus for their soldiers. From then on, everyone in the army is willing to die for them, and so on.

At that time, Mother Gu Can realized something and thought that if she had the chance, she could use it as well. This was the best way to win people's hearts. The woman felt extremely remorseful and wished she could give herself a slap in the face. She clearly knew the truth in the book and remembered it in her heart. But when the matter came, she did not do so.

The truth is in the book, but being a human being is outside the book. The woman only knew the principles, but did not practice the principles in the book. Therefore, when things happened, her selfish nature was exposed.

Chen Ping'an is different. He chewed up the principles in the book. After absorbing and digesting them, he continued to practice and reflect on them, and truly achieved the unity of knowledge and action. This is how he has truly read the principles in the book into his bones and in his heart. , let yourself become the carrier of these principles and become one.

Liu Zhimao noticed something strange about the woman, his face showed a bit of curiosity, and he asked.

"What's wrong ma'am?"

Mother Gu Can forced a smile, and instead of telling the truth frankly, she quickly started to change the topic.

"Nothing's wrong. May I ask True Lord, how should we behave and speak from now on? Will Liu Laocheng of Gongliu Island come to Qingxia Island to show off his evil deeds?"

"Liu Laocheng is the leading hero in Shujian Lake. Even his enemies admire him and he is decisive in killing. Therefore, he came to Qingxia Island to kill Gu Can, and no one can stop him! But now he Now that Gu Can has been let go, no one can stop him or change Liu Laocheng's decision. I will never go to Qingxia Island again. It can be said that Gu Can and Chunting Mansion are no longer in danger. I can even put down a word with my wife. After that night of fighting, Gu Can is truly out of danger. In Shujian Lake today, no one dares to kill someone who Liu Laocheng has not killed!"

Liu Zhimao waved his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes. His words were unhurried and unhurried, giving people a very sure feeling and soothing the woman's worried mood.

Mother Gu Can stared at Liu Zhimao suspiciously, doubtful. What she cared about most was her son Gu Can. She didn't want such a dangerous thing to happen again. If Gu Can died, she would no longer have any hope or hope in her life. , her son is her heart and soul, and she cannot tolerate any mistakes.

Liu Zhimao picked up the tea cup, lowered his head and took a sip. He didn't care about the woman's gaze. Some words should not be said too clearly. He remembered what happened in Lizhu Cave, and the extremely bright sword light made him Without any resistance, he cut off his left arm easily. If he hadn't spent a lot of money to get a Bone Renewal Pill and reattached his left arm, he would have been disabled.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhimao put down the tea cup in his hand, and unconsciously touched his left arm with his right hand. A faint pain surged into his heart, casting a shadow in the deepest part of his heart that could not be erased. The path has been cut off, and it is no longer possible to enter the Upper Five Realms.

Seeing this, Gu Canniang frowned slightly. She also picked up the tea cup, lowered her head and took a sip of tea. Her posture was graceful and her movements were graceful, but she didn't have the ignorance and awkwardness of the rural women back then.

Liu Zhimao glanced at the graceful and elegant woman, his eyes turned slightly, a puzzled expression appeared on his face, and he asked incomprehensively.

"Madam, why are you so guarded and afraid of Chen Ping'an?"

Mother Gu Can's face changed drastically, her eyes were dark and unclear, shining with a strange light, and she spoke in a faint voice.

"True Lord should understand very well. People's hearts can change."

Liu Zhimao felt the same when he heard this. In recent years, his relationship with Gu Can has also changed quietly. From the initial master-disciple relationship, it has become a cooperative relationship and even a competitive relationship. It is very subtle, and the person in front of him The change in the woman is even more astonishing. She has transformed from an awkward and petty village woman into a shrewd, graceful and elegant lady.

"Zhenjun, tell me, am I a bad person in Shujian Lake?"

Liu Zhimao reached out and stroked the beard under his chin, smiled, and said happily.

"What Madam did in Shujian Lake, of course she is not a bad person, no, she should be said to be a good person!"

"My wife has clear rewards and punishments on the island. She never treats servants and slaves harshly, and she never does anything that is harmful to nature!"

Mother Gu Can nodded slightly. Since she and Gu Can came to Shujian Lake, although Gu Can's hands were full of blood, she had not done anything harmful.

"Bad people occasionally have good intentions, and good people also have evil intentions. I just gave Chen Ping'an a bowl of rice, which is not a huge favor!"

"But Chen Ping'an gave the little loach to Can'er. Maybe he didn't know what it meant at the beginning. Now that he has also entered the path of spiritual practice, he naturally understands that this is giving away his own opportunity. Can he not regret it? ?

"The reason why I'm guarding Chen Pingan now is for Can'er's cultivation. As long as I don't harm Chen Pingan, I can't be considered ungrateful, right?!"

Liu Zhimao suddenly realized that Gu Can's mother's worries were human nature. If it were him, he would also guard against Chen Ping'an to prevent his opportunity from being taken away.

"Madam said so, I understand!"

Liu Zhimao also plotted against Chen Ping'an in Lizhu Cave for this matter. He used some underhanded methods to arouse Cai Jinjian's evil thoughts and wanted to kill someone with a borrowed sword. If Zhou Jue hadn't killed him casually, he would not have done it. Let Chen Ping An live.

Liu Zhimao sighed, took a deep look at the woman, stood up, and said with a smile.

"Madam, if there is no money for other matters, I will leave first!"

"No need to give it away!"

Liu Zhimao waved his hand and stopped Gu Can's mother from getting up to see her off. He and Gu Can were now inseparable. Liu Laocheng wanted to kill Gu Can. As a master, he had already exhausted the last trace of his love if he had not stopped him. , if Chen Pingan was not still on the island now, and his powerful background made him fearful, he would have taken the opportunity to attack Gu Can.

At the third watch of the night, the cold bright moon hangs high, and the moonlight falls on the lake. The waves are sparkling, like the flowing Milky Way, dazzling. A figure crosses the sky and lands in front of the small house at the entrance of Qingxia Island Mountain. He reaches out and gently A few taps.

"Dong dong dong!"

The dark shadow pushed open the door and entered. A kerosene lamp was burning on the wooden table inside the room. The big light swayed, and the mottled light and shadow swayed on Chen Pingan's face.

Chen Ping'an sat at the table and extended his hand to signal the other party to sit down. His expression was calm and silent.

"I came to visit late at night without saying hello in advance. I hope Mr. Chen can forgive me."

Liu Zhimao walked into the room and sat on the bench. In his own territory, he was so polite to Chen Pingan, which can be said to be flexible and flexible.

Chen Ping'an had no expression on his face, and took a deep look at the powerful overlord of the Nascent Soul Realm. He stretched out his right hand wrapped in cotton with his palm open.

Liu Zhimao quickly took out the jade plaque engraved with "I am good at cultivating the aura of awe-inspiring" from his sleeve and placed it in Chen Pingan's palm. Then he took out a white jade bowl and placed it in the middle of the table. There was a change in the mist, revealing some figures.

"Gu Can's mother came to me during the day and said something. I hope Mr. Chen can also listen to it. The behavior of a villain like me is naturally dirty, but it can be regarded as a token of my sincerity."

Li Zhimao was very wary of Chen Pingan's background and did not want to antagonize him. He sold Gu Can's mother to Chen Pingan without hesitation in order to seek peace.

Chen Ping'an frowned, and his eyes fell on the white jade bowl. He flipped his right hand to put away the jade tablet of the saint enshrined in the Confucian Temple. Then he lowered his palm and covered the mouth of the bowl to disperse the water mist.

A trace of surprise flashed in Liu Zhimao's eyes, and then a look of admiration appeared on his face as he complimented.

"Mr. Chen is truly a gentleman. It was Liu Zhimao who judged a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

Chen Ping'an retracted his hand, wrapped his sleeves with his hands, and said coldly without any emotional changes on his face.

"I know what kind of person she is and what she would think. Maybe what she said will make me feel cold, but the moment I moved out of Spring Court House, her words and actions have nothing to do with me. !”

"Back in Mubo Alley, in order to help Gu Can keep the little loach, you first bewitched Cai Jinjian of Yunxiashan Mountain with your secret skills, and then you used your sinister supernatural powers to quietly carve into my heart the words "I want to die" , tempting me to assassinate Cai Jinjian and Fu Nanhua, and making me disappear completely. "

Chen Ping'an is not a fool, nor is he a good person. He has traveled around the world in the past few years, has killed people, and experienced conspiracies. He is not clear about Gu Can's mother's thoughts and is not interested in what Liu Zhimao said. He I just want to have a clear conscience and repay the favor of the meal.

"It was my fault back then. The Great Sword Immortal behind Mr. Chen cut off one of my left arms because of this, which made my Taoist heart dusty, cut off my path, and finally drove me out of Lizhu Cave!"

"Of course, if Mr. Chen still doesn't feel relieved, you can stab me with your semi-immortal weapon. I will never fight back. From now on, our grudges will be settled!"

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

Chen Ping's letter to Jianhu and his entourage made him disheartened and a little disappointed with the world's people. When Liu Zhimao said this, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes. He did not expect that Zhou Jue would stand up for him and cut off Liu Zhimao. Zhimao stretched out his left arm, and a warm current surged in his heart, rekindling his hope in this world.

Liu Zhimao gives people the impression of being taciturn, cherishing his words like gold, but smiling to everyone, but this is just his mask. In fact, he is sanctimonious and cruel. He is very intimidating in Shujian Lake. He is a fake true king with a smiling face. , the Shura sword is hidden in the sleeve.

Chen Pingan took a deep breath, took off the silver-white sword gourd from his waist, unplugged the stopper, and poured wine into the white jade bowl. The clear wine splashed and a mellow aroma spread, making Liu Zhimao His nose twitched slightly, and he smelled that this was Shujian Lake's most famous Wu Tiao wine.

Chen Pingan put the sword-raising gourd on the table, reached out and pushed the white jade bowl in front of Liu Zhimao, and said with a smile.

"What can I do if I stab you? It won't hurt Zhenjun at all. The Immortal Family on the mountain has many ways to kill someone, so why should I do such a useless thing?!"

Liu Zhimao was not surprised by Chen Pingan's reaction. He reached out and picked up the white jade bowl, drank the wine in one gulp, and then said.

"Mr. Chen is gifted with intelligence and good fortune. I, Liu Zhimao, was the blind one back then. Mr. Chen might as well make some conditions and I will accept the punishment."

"If I say let's forget the past, I'm afraid you won't believe it, and I won't be willing to do it myself!"

Chen Ping'an spoke frankly without any cover-up.

"But before I make the conditions, I have something to ask Mr. Zhen!"

Liu Zhimao put down the white jade bowl in his hand and said without any hesitation.

"Tell me everything you know, and tell me everything you want to say. Mr. Chen, feel free to speak!"

Liu Zhimao did not want to continue to be entangled with Chen Ping'an. This young man had a bright future and a profound background. Even if he became the new king of Shujian Lake, he could not afford to offend him. It would be safest to resolve the old grudges early. Therefore, Full of sincerity, without the calculation and hypocrisy of the past.

"What is the foundation for the true king to cultivate his mind?"

Chen Pingan nodded slightly, feeling Liu Zhimao's sincerity, thought for a moment, and asked very seriously.

"Naturally seek truth!"

Liu Zhimao replied without any hesitation that this was the foundation of his practice and a secret that was not taught. Even to his disciples such as Gu Can, he had not explained it in detail. He looked at Chen Pingan's eyes full of curiosity, pondered for a moment, and continued.

"Human emotions and desires are like a mess. In my practice, I need to separate them into categories."

"After that, the monks who choose to follow my side path have their own choices and their own paths to follow. They may shrink to the size of a mustard seed and put it aside, or they may grow into a mountain and continue to stabilize. These are all cultivation methods. As for condensation How many grains of mustard seeds can make how many mountains are piled up depends on the qualifications and qualifications of the cultivator. There are many passes and dangers here. As for how to condense mustard seeds, you can derive the technique of killing three corpses and the method of refining the internal elixir. As for how to accumulate mountains, there are also ways to eat clouds and drink dew and take the bait of external elixirs. . The speed of cultivation and the level of bottlenecks depend on the quality of each family’s ancestral cultivation methods.”

Liu Zhimao stopped explaining, with a serious expression on his face, and he no longer wanted to answer Chen Ping'an's questions.

"I can only elaborate on this step. What follows involves my fundamental path. If I tell you, I will definitely die. Please forgive me, Mr. Chen!"

Chen Ping'an had no intention of peeking at Liu Zhimao's fundamental path. He nodded in understanding, picked up the silver-white sword-raising gourd again, and filled a bowl of Wuti wine for Liu Zhimao.

Liu Zhimao drank it all in one gulp again, as if he only smiled when they met each other, and the grudges were lost in the cup.

"It's not difficult for the True Lord to forget all the grudges with a smile. He just needs to hand over one person to me!"

Chen Ping'an hung the supporter Hu around his waist again and finally discussed the conditions.

"who?"

Liu Zhimao frowned slightly, having some bad premonitions in his heart.

"Ghost Xiu Hongsu!"

"Mr. Chen is really amazing, he actually knows such secrets!"

Hongsu was Liu Laocheng's confidante and died suddenly, so Liu Laocheng left Shujian Lake. Liu Zhimao dared to compete for the throne of the king of the world, and Liu Laocheng was not afraid of the five realms. In addition to having the Great Li Dynasty as a backer to gather momentum, he also prepared some underhanded means to protect himself and left an escape route for himself. Even if Liu Laocheng, a monk in the fifth realm, returns to Shujian Lake, he will not kill you.

Liu Zhimao laughed out loud. He didn't expect that Chen Pingan, a young man from a foreign land, was his confidant!

"This is impossible. Mr. Chen, please propose another condition!"

Liu Zhimao put away his smile and shook his head to reject Chen Pingan. Hongsu was his retreat, which could make Liu Laocheng afraid to act rashly. Naturally, he would not give it to Chen Pingan.

Chen Pingan frowned slightly, as if he had expected Liu Zhimao's refusal, and proposed new conditions without any interval.

"You must have done something to Gu Can's mother. Withdraw! This is half a condition!"

Liu Zhimao frowned, and his eyes flashed with thought. Gu Can was now seriously injured and posed no threat to him. His top priority was to resolve the grievances with Chen Pingan.

"I will give Mr. Chen an answer in three days!"

"I wonder what the other half of the condition is?"

Chen Pingan looked a little pale and felt exhausted. He had not recovered from his injuries and was not in good spirits. He whispered.

"After this half of the condition is completed, let's talk again!"
