Chapter 1248 Twenty People and Candidates (6)

Previously, Cao Ci took his two newly acquired disciples and entered the territory of Daduan Dynasty via the palm-printed ferry. During this period, they entered Yunzhuang County. When the ferry docked, Cao Ci got off the boat in advance and took them to explore the mountains and rivers on foot. The Dou family is the sky of this ancient county. It so happened that the two senior sisters were here now, so Cao Ci wanted to let the two apprentices get to know their elders. Because the old man of the Dou family is going to celebrate his ninetieth birthday. Cao Ci calculated the time and still had some spare time, so he thought of letting Ji Jie and Bai Yu slowly strengthen their bodies on this stretch of road. They had been recognized on the ferry earlier, even if Cao Ci thanked the guests behind closed doors, without saying anything. Those who knocked on the door only said that there was an endless stream of people walking in the corridor outside to "watch the excitement". Cao Ci was really annoyed. He himself didn't care, but the two disciples had already been undecided. After a few days, I felt an inevitable sense of alienation from his master, which was no longer the same as when I first met him.

When they first boarded the ship, they were simple-minded, lively and free-spirited. They practiced whatever Cao Ci taught them, and their boxing skills became more pure and agile, which was a good sign. After they roughly understood the weight of the name "Cao Ci", their fist intentions began to stagnate. The same pile boxing move became extremely heavy after learning and practicing it again, as if every punch was weighing down a "Master Cao". The weight of kindness.

The two children have become more and more silent and reserved. Now when they look at Master Cao Ci, their faces and eyes have changed.

Fear it like seeing a ghost. Respect him as if you were meeting a god.

Now that the matter was over, Cao Ci simply made it clear what he should have said only when he arrived in Daduan Capital. Since they had become a master, they would have to know some things sooner or later, so Cao Ci neither deliberately exaggerated nor deliberately concealed it, so he told the two children roughly who their master was and who their three senior brothers and sisters were. identity.

Probably because he felt that it was not good to keep his newly recognized "Master" in the air like this, Bai Yu timidly asked: "Master, since our sect is so powerful and you are so famous, even the gods on the ship are vying to see you. On the one hand, saying simple words is like making a fortune, but have you never lost in a fight?"

Cao Ci smiled and said: "I haven't lost yet, maybe because the master doesn't ask people for punches many times."

Ji Jie asked curiously: "Does Master have any opponents that you think are very powerful?"

Cao Ci nodded and said: "Of course there are. Let's not talk about the older generation of grandmasters. Just talk about those who are about the same age. There is a pure martial artist named Chen Ping'an. He is the same age as me and seems to be a few months younger than me. His His boxing skills are very good. In addition, there are seven or eight people who I have never met, but I have heard that they are one or two levels different from me. I believe that their future martial arts achievements will be very high."

Cao Ci's so-called one or two realms, of course, already regarded the three levels of end as the same realm.

Ordinary martial artists, if they say that those who are lower than themselves will have high martial arts achievements in the future, they will inevitably be suspected of being self-important or arrogant. It is estimated that others will feel uncomfortable and a bit resentful after hearing this.

But when Cao Ci said it, the speaker was calm and the listener was willing to be convinced.

I remember that Chen Pingan's birthday is May 5th, and Cao Ci's birthday is February 2nd, so he is three months older than Chen Pingan.

"If he can concentrate on practicing martial arts, I believe his boxing skills will be even better."

"It's just that he has many identities, so he can't help but feel relaxed."

"There are actually many more rumors and deeds about him in the world than me. He is a big celebrity. When you arrive in the capital and settle down there, you will hear more and more about him in the future. Generally speaking, people with great reputations tend to It’s actually hard to match him, Chen Ping’an is different, he is worthy of every status.”

"People who are both talented and willing to work hard are often high-spirited. Such people are not discouraged when they lose. They become more courageous the more frustrated they are. It sounds simple, but it is actually very difficult."

"His boxing skills are complex, but he can master the key points and melt them into one furnace. His martial ethics is... average."

Listening to Cao Ci's eloquent words, the two children looked at each other a little strangely.

In the past, except for imparting boxing techniques and explaining boxing principles in a strict manner, the master was usually not so talkative.

Therefore, Bai Yu and Ji Jie felt that this guy named Chen Ping'an was not simple except for his average martial arts ethics.

Cao Ci is indeed a very boring person.

He doesn't talk much and has few friends. He doesn't like drinking or socializing. Besides learning boxing, Cao Ci's only interest is reading.

And he usually only reads one kind of books, counting.

It was the first time for the two children to be apprentices. It was not the first time for Cao Ci to be a master, so he wanted to use the help of traveling together to visit the great mountains and rivers to ease the complicated mood of the two direct disciples.

People who learn boxing take their master's status and ancestral boxing techniques too lightly. They are prone to have a vain mind, are not good at learning skills, and rely too much on themselves and external objects other than boxing techniques.

But if it goes to the extreme, it is not a good thing for Wufu to take both of them too seriously. It is easy to underestimate himself and regard the word "I" too lowly and too lightly.

Along the way, we saw many different scenery, but Cao Ci spoke little. He only talked to the two children about the customs and customs of various places.

In his spare time, Cao Ci would take out three old and yellowed pictures. They were drawn by his own hands when he was practicing boxing at the Great Wall of Jianqi when he was young. They depict the muscles, tendons and bones of the human body, as well as the acupuncture points and organs of the body. The route of Qi and blood flow. Let the two disciples observe the three scrolls so that they can have a more intuitive feeling. There are various annotations and small auxiliary diagrams written in small capital letters in the blank spaces of the scrolls. In fact, Cao Ci still has a few volumes, but he is just worried that he will bite off more than he can chew. , without taking it out in one breath.

Perhaps few martial arts masters can imagine that martial arts can also be related to mathematics, arithmetic, organizational structure and other matters. It even involves the Daohua and Dao marks of the Immortal Family.

This is Cao Ci's unique understanding of martial arts. For example, the memory of the muscles in the whole body is a dry river bed waiting for a breath of pure Qi to flow like a flood at any time.

For example, if the fist is like an arrow, which describes a general martial arts master, then Cao Ci's fist is like a crossbow.

At the top of the city, Cao Ci and the boss Sword Immortal were neighbors. The latter occasionally told Cao Ci some insights. For example, the end of the mountain is a static temple on the top of the mountain. The strength of the aura determines the size of the foundation, and the purity of the incense is determined by the true nature. It is a complete "spiritual path" that leads from the mountain gate to the main hall to offer incense. Based on this, if you want to reach the end, you have to walk step by step to the "mountain top". This is naturally a "far journey", and the "golden body" is the prototype of the future statue of the **** in that temple...so a statue The Clay Bodhisattva not only has to cross the river, but also has to go up the mountain. A breath of pure Qi from a martial artist is like a stick of incense.

It's a pity that whenever Cao Ci raised a question, the boss Jianxian would always excuse him by saying that he was not a martial artist.

The three masters and apprentices came to a waterside ferry today and planned to cross the river by boat. The shore was full of vendors selling river fresh food, and they smelled fishy.

When he actually learned boxing, his five senses became more and more sharp, and Bai Yu pinched his nose hard.

The little girl had an experience before, saying that the scene of heaven and earth is like a painting that comes into view. Before you learn boxing, it is a fake. After learning boxing, the picture gradually changes from blurry to clear, and every detail is revealed, becoming an authentic painting.

Their master said at the time that this metaphor was vivid, but not necessarily appropriate.

As for what was inappropriate, Cao Ci did not have a specific explanation.

Bai Yu asked a question he had been curious about for a long time: "Master, in learning boxing, is talent more important, or hard work?"

Cao Ci replied: "They are all important. Uncle Ma, you, have never made an analogy. Practicing martial arts is like a hungry man cooking rice to eat. Without talent, he can only rely on hard work to get in. It is a skillful woman who cannot make a meal without rice, and her achievements are limited. For example, the ceiling height of a house is very low. If you have talent and are not willing to practice boxing diligently, even if you have a granary and a large pot stand, and prefer to cook rice in a small pot and eat in a small bowl every day, your martial arts achievements will not be very high. "

Ji Jie became more and more curious and asked: "Master, do you have the ability you have today because of talent or hard work?"

Cao Ci said frankly: "I practice boxing quite diligently, but in the final analysis, it still depends on talent."

The two children looked at each other, one was happy and the other was sad. Pianpian felt that she was very similar to her master, while Ah Xian felt that there was probably no chance of him becoming a peerless master.

Cao Ci added: "The martial arts realm is an obvious watershed. Before that, talent and hard work are both important. After that, talent is even more important."

The little girl grinned and said, "After all, talent is the most important thing."

Cao Ci smiled and said, "Another Master Liao said that learning to work hard will first prevent you from taking the wrong path, and secondly, you can go faster on the right path. Isn't it an invisible talent?"

Ji Jie asked in confusion: "Master, there are not one man and two women of the same generation as you, so where is the other master?"

Cao Ci smiled and said: "I forgot to tell you, the masters and uncles in the rivers and lakes and mountains can be called men and women. The king of heaven and earth is the master. Scholars are used to calling their teachers and respected seniors sir. In fact, some knowledge A woman who is very tall and has high moral standards will also be addressed as sir, which carries even more weight."

They suddenly realized that they remembered that at the martial arts gym in their hometown, the gym owner also accepted a female disciple, but her face was scratched all over by his wife that day. The gym owner did not dare to fight back from the beginning to the end.

Bai Yu asked: "How come it's all their truth? Master, don't you have your own opinion?"

Cao Ci said: "Learning boxing to me is just a common thing like breathing. Of course I can't explain the big principles. Before I accepted you as my apprentice, I never thought about the principles of boxing. Now I'm making up for it."

After a pause, Cao Ci said: "If you want to learn the kind of boxing theory that is qualified to be put down on paper, I can introduce you to someone in the future who is better at it."

He had sparred four times with his founding disciple, so it would not be too much to ask him to discuss boxing principles with his two direct disciples later.

Bai Yu asked: "Master's friend must know a lot about boxing and have average fighting skills?"

Cao Ci said helplessly: "You can't say that."

Ji Jie said: "It's that Chen Ping'an who has martial virtues, right?"

Cao Ci suppressed a laugh, "We, master and disciple, can just talk about this kind of thing in private, but don't say it in front of others."

Standing by the water, Cao Ci suddenly asked: "Actually, Master has also figured out a boxing theory, do you want to listen to it?"

The two children nodded in unison.

Cao Ci pointed at himself, "In this human body, the world is clear and peaceful, and I am the master."

"With this kind of martial arts state that seeks within, I would describe him as the best person in the world who doesn't need to seek from outside."

At this point, Cao Ci smiled and added, "Just forget about this great truth."

Bai Yu said: "I was confused, but it sounded domineering."

Ji Jie praised: "No wonder Master is so powerful."

The little girl bumped her elbow against the peer next to her, "Dai Xian, did you remember it?"

Ji Jie nodded and said, "I've written it down. I will listen to the emperor's decree."

Cao Ci laughed dumbly.

After getting on the boat, business was deserted and there were only a few passengers. There was a thin girl singing with a good voice by the window on the boat. Next to her, there was a man playing the erhu. He would stop from time to time to correct the flaws in the girl's singing. It was probably the kind of rural grass-stage troupe. Business is about making money through acting.

Cao Ci ordered three bowls of shredded pork noodles with pickled mustard. Sitting at the next table was a kind-faced but official-looking old man, accompanied by two capable followers. He sat upright, with a straight back, and his eyes often wandered around the cabin, wary of assassins.

The old man probably regarded the gentle Cao Ci as a scholar and took the initiative to invite him to share the table with him. Cao Ci wanted to decline politely, but seeing that the two children were really bored, he agreed. The old man was quite talkative, and Cao Ci happened to be not very good at socializing, but he was a good listener, so he was a good match. The old man said that he had been in high and low officialdom for most of his life. He was often released as a local official, and his favorite thing was traveling on rivers and boats. It is even more leisurely to retire and return to one's hometown now, especially since the eunuch's purse is still abundant.

The old man laughed and said that there are only four seasons in a year. There are bitter heat in the hot summer and severe cold in the midwinter. An old man like him who is dying has little and weak Qi and blood, so he is boiled day and night.

Cao Ci always smiled and nodded.

After getting off the boat and walking for a while, Cao Cicai told the two apprentices who were guessing each other's identity. The old man was actually a mountain **** who traveled around with an ultimatum. Only with a high official status could he manage the mountains and rivers.

The people over there were also guessing about Cao Ci's identity, but they misunderstood that he was the kind of Taoist who practiced immortal magic. He was possessed of Taoism, traveled up mountains and rivers, traveled all over the country, and could get away with strange things.

The sun sets in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun is like a ghost hanging on a mountain.

I saw a mountain god, and I had seen a lot of gods earlier on the Xianjia ferry. I also saw ghosts in the dilapidated ancient temple in my hometown.

The two children have mastered the martial arts, which is equivalent to entering the martial arts world. Even if there is no fire to illuminate the road, walking at night is still not a big problem. Cao Ci told them that when they were walking at night without a moon, they would often see ghosts holding fires in cages and holding fires on ancient roads without a moon, so even ordinary people in the market, unless they were weak in body, weak in spirit, and insufficient in yang energy, would Otherwise you won't be able to see them.

That's what I said, but walking at night in the mountains, with the chirping of falcons and the chirping of woodcutter, sounded so real that it gave both children goosebumps.

I suddenly encountered a huge mansion in the valley of Yinxian Mountain, which looked like a prince's mansion.

The master and apprentice either return the same way they came from, or they knock on the door and ask for accommodation.

Before Cao Ci knocked on the door, he asked Pianpian and Ah Xian to put away their fists as much as possible.

The door was opened by a kind-hearted old servant. When he saw the two children beside Cao Ci, the old man wanted to refuse, saying that his wife was a widow here and it was not suitable to entertain guests.

Not far behind the old man, a pair of siblings, four or five years apart in age but with somewhat similar facial features, appeared. They were dressed in plain clothes, but the old man smiled and called them "Aguan".

There are many red tapes and rules in a famous family. For example, children are not allowed to wear silk, damask and satin clothes, which will ruin their fortune. Therefore, they wear common clothes all year round and only wear remade old clothes.

Aguan is a respectful title given by servants to the master's children. It's just that these two wealthy siblings, who are supposed to be rich and well-off, look a little sallow and thin, and their faces are dull.

The girl clenched her brother's hand tightly, not daring to look at Cao Ci and his group.

According to the custom here, there is an ancestral sacrificial book, which clearly stipulates the types and styles of dishes, the arrangement of incense and candles, etc. When a girl reaches the age of fourteen, she must comb her hair, wear a red skirt, and go to the ancestral hall to worship the portraits of her ancestors, which means that she can talk about marriage from this day on. The old man claimed to be the gravekeeper, who knew how to make bricklayers and carpenters, and came here to help with repairs. The gravekeeper was the dedicated tombkeeper of the big family, responsible for the servants and their family members who managed the ancestors' tombs. The relationship between the two parties was as close as relatives. .

Cao Ci and his apprentice spent the night here. They had a rest and had nothing to do all night. Cao Ci turned on the light and read at night. He set off before dawn and left the huge house with his two sleepy children.

As dawn was about to appear, the two children found a woman holding an umbrella on the road behind them, with her radiant siblings, saluting them from a distance, and soon disappeared.

Bai Yu asked softly: "Master, the whole house is full of ghosts, right?"

Cao Ci nodded, "That's why I asked you to restrain your fists earlier so as not to rush into them. Otherwise, you would not be staying at our house, but you would be seeking revenge."

Ji Jie asked curiously: "What happened when the lady said goodbye to us?"

Cao Ci explained: "Ghosts cut off the incense and sacrifices, just like people who are hungry and hungry. They can easily lose a little bit of their true spirit and either turn into ghosts or lose their souls. There are three solutions. The best is of course to practice Taoism. But this requires paying attention to the opportunity of the immortal family, and then eating incense and offerings. Big families and small families all need to worship their ancestors. Then it is necessary to absorb the yang energy of living people."

Ji Jie was horrified when he heard this, widened his eyes and said, "Master, are you okay?"

Cao Ci smiled and said: "We stayed in their house for a night, and our yang energy condensed. We are warriors, so this loss is nothing. But it is enough to help the owner of that house avoid the worry of running out of food for many years." "

The so-called "many years" actually means a hundred years.

Bai Yu said: "I understand, the old uncle declined our stay because he was afraid of harming our two children. The older sister showed up with the little Aguan. It was because they were really hungry and embarrassed to say it out loud, right? ? Master, just pretended not to know anything, and didn’t reveal anything on purpose. He lent us a place to stay for a night, so that humans and ghosts can live in peace. This is their way of hospitality. Let’s leave some yang energy behind, which is how we treat guests. "

Cao Ci rubbed the little girl's head and said, "Smart."

Ah Xian let out a wow, "Master, you are too kind."

Pianpian said, "I don't have a master's wife yet, so it can't be justified."

Ah Xian said: "With the master, can the master's wife be far behind?"

Cao Ci smiled and reached out to hold the two children's heads.

It seems that being a master is indeed quite interesting.

After such an incident, the two children became close to Cao Ci again.

Nearing the destination, a young woman came. The two children looked at each other. Could it be that the future master's wife was here?

Of course not, the woman is Liao Qingao, one of their three uncles.

Liao Qingao smiled and explained: "Senior Sister Dou is very busy with the family, and she really can't get away, so she asked me to pick you up."

Cao Ci nodded and introduced the two children beside him with a smile, "Senior Sister Liao, they are my newly accepted disciples, Ji Jie, whose nickname is A Xian, and Bai Yu, whose nickname is Pian Pian. When I first met them, they were already It is rare to have boxing intention in one's body. They can learn and use it immediately by just setting up a ladder and peeking at the poles and handles of the martial arts studio next door. It can even be said that they can use it for their own purposes. They can even use it in a rural temple. Yes, I have seen their moves, and they are impressive."

Liao Qingao was greatly surprised, because except for the senior brother Ma Guixian, the three of them had not accepted a disciple so far.

Senior sister Dou Fenxia is lazy. Her mantra is to find a good family and marry her as soon as possible.

Liao Qingao felt that she was not good at boxing and was not qualified to teach boxing to others, as she was afraid of misleading others.

Liao Qingao didn't think it was surprising that the two children had such a "realm".

The disciples you Cao Ci accepted must be monsters among geniuses? Is it reasonable?

Liao Qingao looked at the two slightly cautious children and said with a hearty smile: "It happened unexpectedly. I didn't prepare any gifts. I owe you."

Both children timidly called out to Master Liao, one with a low but steady voice, the other with a loud but trembling voice.

Liao Qingao thought it was funny and asked, "Do they know who Cao Ci is?"

Cao Ci nodded and said: "When we came here, there was a lot of movement on the ferry, and there were many visitors knocking on the door. When Pianpian asked, I gave a general overview of our sect, who is the master, and what do the three uncles do? . I also talked about the ten realms of martial arts."

For these two country kids, they just had a general idea that Master Cao Ci might be a very powerful person. They worshiped this master and had great luck.

For example, when I heard the name "Cao Ci" in the dilapidated temple, I immediately lost my fierce and arrogant attitude. At the Palm Cross Crossing, I was all startled, especially on the ship where the gods gathered. On the Xianjia ferry, there was an endless stream of visitors. Looking at the eyes of these two country children, they had everything from envy to flattery. Bai Yu and Ji Jie are young and don't read much, but they have good intuition and have a little knowledge of people and the world. They are all in their hometown and have seen some of them.

If Cao Ci is just an ordinary powerful master, going out together is all new and exciting, just like traveling in the mountains and rivers.

But when the image of Cao Ci becomes more and more important, as big as heaven and earth, covering all things, the children will move farther away from home and become more homesick.

Fortunately, Cao Ci was careful and patient. He deliberately abandoned the Xianjia ferry and took them on a long hike to visit the scenic spots and historic sites.

Liao Qing'ai half-jokingly said: "How about we let Senior Sister create some pomp and circumstance and let the Dou family open the ceremonial door to welcome the distinguished guests and put on a display? I believe Mr. Dou will be very happy."

Cao Ci shook his head.

Liao Qingao asked: "Worried about being a guest and usurping the spotlight?"

Cao Ci smiled but still didn't say anything.

He did not have any official status in the Daduan Dynasty.

Just like Cao Ci still doesn't have a nickname.

The Dou family was in Jixiang Lane, and there was a lot of traffic and congratulatory guests. Many cars and cars lined up in the nearby Jiufang Street and Hao'er Lane.

Knowing that Junior Brother Cao Ci didn't like the noisy way to interact with others, Liao Qingao took them through the crowded gates and chose a relatively quiet side gate.

A beautiful woman with her hair tied in a snake bun walked over quickly, stretched out her hand to gently rub her cheeks with her palms, and apologized with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've been so busy these past few days, my whole face was covered with laughter. I'm almost stiff. I know your character, so I don't make a big deal about it. Apart from the old man, there are only a few uncles in charge of things in the house. I knew you would come to visit today. If you are not willing to socialize, I will find an excuse to help you. Well, if you don’t reject me, you can at least go to the master’s study and sit there for a while, and then you’ll be dealt with.”

The Dou family belongs to a family of officials, and Dou Fenxia has been exposed to it since she was a child. What does it mean to be able to mix well? No one at the wine table dares to persuade you to drink. Anyone who wants to propose a toast to you must prepare a plan in advance.

She didn't think Cao Ci needed to sell anyone's face. Not only the Dou family of Yunzhuang County, but also the Daduan Dynasty, and the entire Haoran world is no exception.

Cao Ci said: "When Mr. Dou is free, let me know and I will go and visit you. As for socializing in public and drinking at banquets, forget it. I'm not good at it."

Liao Qing'ai's face turned gloomy for no reason, and she sneered: "You are better than that man named Chen in everything, except in dealing with people, socializing and banquets, speaking in public, and drinking in public, you can't compare with him. Ha, Grandmaster Chen, Chen Jianxian, Chen Shan Lord, Chen Yinguan, he has a lot of titles and identities, and he must be a good person to have such a family fortune."

Cao Ci smiled and said: "My martial arts level is just slightly higher than Chen Pingan's, but it doesn't mean I can beat him in other places."

If he hadn't left the Sword Qi Great Wall too early and had waited until Chen Ping'an opened a wine shop there, even though Cao Ci didn't like drinking, he would definitely go there occasionally to support him.

I recall that when Cao Ci went to the Sword Qi Great Wall for the first time, his master did not arrange any guardians for him. Pei Bei just smiled and said to Cao Ci before he left. Now when you go out, when others see you, they will say that you are Pei Bei. Cup's disciple. I hope that one day in the future, Master hopes to hear others talking about Pei Bei and say that she is Cao Ci's master.

Previously, Chen Ping'an and Ma Guixian had a boxing contest at the Confucian Temple. Both sides of the competition, or rather their respective schools, had a tacit understanding and did not leak the matter to the outside world afterwards.

Pei Bei's nominal eldest disciple, Ma Guixian, was once at the top of the mountain and was only one step away from reaching the top. However, he fell down due to that boxing competition.

Dou Fenxia, ​​who wears her hair in a spiritual snake bun, was born in the Dou family of Yunzhuang, the most powerful family in the Daduan Dynasty.

Liao Qingao, who was born as a wild cultivator in Shanze, started practicing martial arts, joined the army, and risked his life on the battlefield, but was saved by Pei Bei.

Since Liao Qingao had once been involved in spiritual practice, her spiritual qualifications were quite good, and she had reached the fifth level of the middle school when she was a girl. Therefore, even though she is half a hundred years old, she still has the appearance of a girl, with an extremely thin waist and a long white sheath sword. Dou Fenxia and Liao Qingao are now both pure martial artists in the Far Traveling Realm.

There are no more than five masters and disciples in total.

In the eyes of the outside world, is it possible to have a five-person limit?

Liao Qingao said angrily: "How did it get spread about senior brother's fall?"

It didn't cause an uproar, but the news was eventually leaked and learned by the mountain.

What she meant was that Chen Pingan was secretly causing trouble.

Cao Ci smiled and shook his head.

Chen Ping'an didn't even bother to do this.

Dou Fenxia said: "There is no airtight wall in the world, not to mention that there were so many people around the Confucian Temple at that time, it was inevitable that someone would watch or listen to it and use it as conversation material."

Junior sister Liao didn't really think so, she was just angry and had nowhere to vent her anger. Before Cao Ci came here, the two fellow apprentices had spoken ill of that man.

At that time, before senior brother Ma Guixian started fighting with Chen Pingan, Dou Fenxia used a trick that was similar to playing rogue, saying that she wanted to ask Chen Pingan for advice on one and a half moves, not counting boxing.

After all, the two sides are in a different level of martial arts. Strictly speaking, it is not fair, whether it is a sparring match or a debt settlement. As a result, after some trial and error, Dou Fenxia suffered a huge loss despite not being able to get any advantage from Chen Pingan. .

Except for Cao Ci, Ma Kuixian and several others were not considered Pei Bei's disciples in the strict sense. Pei Bei had never drank the apprenticeship tea, nor did they kowtow.

It was only the old Emperor Daduan's request and an excuse that was not a reason that persuaded Pei Bei to accept three more "named disciples".

Thinking of something, Liao Qingao suddenly laughed. It turned out that she had just learned that there is a custom in the hometown of senior sister. If a man can untie a woman's bun before marriage, it is equivalent to a private life. It is no different from the boudoir's thrush, and the groom's official wedding night It's no different if you take off the red hijab.

Earlier, the senior sister took the initiative to provoke the person named Chen and retaliated. Of course, it was just a point. Chen Ping'an just used his fingers to stay between Dou Fenxia's eyebrows and condensed them into a grain of mustard sword energy, which dispersed when it touched her forehead. Opening, it did not hurt Dou Fenxia at all, but only made the latter's spiritual snake bun loosen a little. Isn’t it?

No wonder when Liao Qingao visited her senior sister's family this time, she would always see her gnashing her teeth and her pretty face looking cold, reminding her of the appearance of a heartless person.

Dou Fenxia felt sorry for herself and repeated her words, "Sure enough, she is so low that she can't fight at all."

She comes from a lineage of swordsmen.

A swordsman among qigong practitioners, a swordsman among pure martial artists. Both are outliers among their kind, most feared by their peers.

Just like someone in the officialdom, who is both the censor and the judge of prison cases. Due to his status and responsibilities, he does not just cause trouble for his colleagues every day. Those who are targeted will naturally lose their skin even if they are not dead.

Liao Qingao promised that within thirty years, she would go to Luopo Mountain to challenge Chen Ping'an.

Cao Ci hesitated for a moment, but chose to say face to face: "Senior Sister Liao, just because Master doesn't tell you something, it doesn't mean she doesn't know about it. You have to be careful."

Dou Fenxia frowned. The person who could make Cao Ci speak so solemnly must not be some trivial matter.

Liao Qingao felt guilty about being a thief, but also felt relieved that she had known this before. In short, she felt very complicated.

Cao Ci smiled and said: "Senior sister, you just have to control yourself. You really have a clear conscience..."

Dou Fenxia quickly glanced at her junior sister's belly and asked tentatively: "Has Qing Ai made a private life-long commitment with someone? Master is angry and plans to expel Qing Ai from the school?"

Liao Qingao's face turned red, and she glared angrily at the senior sister who spoke freely.

Cao Ci said: "I plan to go to Aquarius Continent in the near future to visit Luopo Mountain."
