Sword of Coming

Chapter 958: Qingping Jianzong

Tao Ran swallowed, bit his scalp, boldly asked in his heart: "Who are you really?"

Tao Jianxian didn't even dare to call his name directly, it was too shameful.

Chen Ping'an smiled and replied in his heart: "Last time I was on the banks of the river, I had already said it. If nothing else, it would be me. Tao Jianxian didn't believe it."

You let Lao Tzu believe it.

I saw a young man casually on the way, with a pair of knives hanging around his waist, and a blue shirt, long coat and cloth shoes, and then claiming to be Chen Pingan. I was stupid to believe it.

It's like a man on the horizon, suddenly walking to the front, and walking out of the book like a man in a book.

Today, Cui Dongshan, who is wearing a white dress with a sword, stretched out his thumb towards Tao Ran in the distance, while Mi Dajianxian on the side winked at Tao Jianxian.

Before the auspicious hour of the opening ceremony, Chen Ping’an hurried forward and exchanged greetings with the guests. Taking advantage of this opportunity, his brain was filled with sword repairs, and he looked left. Looking at the right, he chose a place for himself to stay. Finally, Chen Ping'an took the hand of his nephew Zheng Yougan and stopped at a "small mountain head" at the extreme edge. These will soon become the genealogy of the Qingping Peak of Xiandu Mountain. Monk, it’s funny to say that most of them still don’t know the true identity of the sword fairy in front of them. After they came to the square before, they gathered together subconsciously, but there was nothing to chat with each other. When the square was crowded After that, it was obviously more cramped and restrained.

At this moment, Chen Pingan clasped his fists and smiled and said: "I formally introduce myself. My surname is Chen and my name is Pingan. I am a native of Longquan County in Longquan County of Aquarius. Soon, the Wensheng who restored the Confucian Temple, I am also the husband of Cui Dongshan, Pei Qian, and Cao Qingqing."

This is also the first time Chen Ping'an has revealed the identity of the Shangzong Mountain Lord and has a serious dialogue with them.

Chen Pingan touched the heads of the children next to him, and introduced with a smile: "Zheng Yougan, is Brother Junqian's disciple, and my nephew."

At this moment, the group of people standing opposite Chen Ping'an, except for Tao Ran, who was born in Tongyezhou Shanzeye's Jindanjian repairer.

There are also two immortals and ghosts who are a pair of Taoists, who are proficient in formations, Wu Gou and Xiao Manying.

Three exiled monks from the old Yuzhigang Shuyi Tower, Lan Yi, Yu Xinglou, and Fu Zhu.

His true identity is Shao Poxian, the fallen prince of the old Zhuying dynasty in Baopingzhou. And the maid Meng Long, who followed him to the north and south and had a long escape career. She has now changed her name to Dugu Misty, and Tong Yezhou is about to usher in the second female monarch. For this pair of masters and servants, Cui Dongshan had previously asked Xiao Mo to help with blindfolding. Next to the two, there was also a female cultivator, Shi Qiu, who came from Luzhou Dajiao Mountain in Beiju.

Chen Ping An looked at Shi Qiu, Shi Qiu pursed his lips and smiled, nodding lightly.

Chen Pingan once again clasped his fists to thank: "Xiandushan founded the Zongmen, from site selection to construction, to today’s celebration, in fact, every link is extremely hasty, and within a short time, Xiandushan Zhufeng has this scale, which is equivalent to setting up a ferry on the ground and starting from nothing. Everyone has worked hard."

Leaving aside the three old Laoposhan men from Shao Poxian, Jian Xiu Tao Ran, who took over the shop on the Rin River, as well as the two groups of monks Wu Gou and Yuzhi Gang Lan Yi, were all brought to Xiandu Mountain by Cui Dongshan himself. Yes, so it can be regarded as the veteran of the establishment of the mountain following Cui Dongshan. The two parties used to contribute mainly to the construction of the wind kite ferry and the construction of the ferry. The wind kite of one of the intercontinental ferry boats, no matter the number of members or the combat power, itself is equivalent to a small school on the mountain.

On the ferry, Cui Dongshan carefully refined the talisman puppets and golden armored warriors. There are nearly a hundred of them. They are named Yugong, Jinshi, Tiaoshangong, Moyuer, etc., whether they are skins or minds, they are all related to each other. Real people are no different. Responsible for the daily maintenance of the Fengyuan ferry and the geographical survey on the ferry route. The main responsibility of the latter is actually to "hunt for treasures" in the mountains and rivers of Tongyezhou. Therefore, they were sealed by Cui Dongshan as a temporary official position. , "Landscape inspection", and Wu Gou and Xiao Manying, who are proficient in formation, are responsible for the daily operation of Fengyuan Ferry.

Chen Ping'an and Shao Poxian said in their hearts: "I have seen Shanjun Jinqing. You set up a country on the banks of the river. Let's talk about it later."

Shao Poxian smiled and nodded in thanks.

Chen Pingan smiled and asked, "When will you be among the five realms?"

Shao Poxian looked sad, "difficult."

In addition to these weird "landscape inspections", there are more than two hundred talismans and organ puppets whose ranks are far lower than those of Yugong and Yuer. There are as many as 200 coolies. Dushan Mansion and Ferry are all contributing their efforts, and the three monks from Yuzhigang Shuyilou were temporarily ferry supervisors. They are all young and over a hundred years old, and they are not high in their realm now. , Two views of the sea and one cave.

In fact, before Chen Ping'an arrived, the three of them were completely frightened.

Because of the small chats of the many guests around, no one deliberately used their heartfelt words. For example, the young woman with a ball and hair bun is no stranger. He often meets at the ferry and knows her name is Pei Qian, but how can she be with that? The famous female master "Zheng Qian" hooked up? After Pei Qian talked about the Jin Jiazhou war with the man she respected as "Xu Jianxian" through Pei Qian, and mentioned Cao Ci, Yu Yufu and others, Pei Qian also took the initiative to mention that he had met an old man in purple. Immortal, Fu Lu Yu Xuan! In this way, the man's identity was revealed, and it was the Jinjiazhou Great Sword Immortal, Xu Hao, who was known as the "Sword Immortal Xu Jun". The guest of the Liu family from Aiaizhou, after crossing the continent to Tongyezhou, he settled on the side of Qishandu. According to the tidbits reported by several Shanshuidi, I heard that it was to prevent Yu Guizong from making several ferry boats to Liu's family. Xia Zhezi, Yu Guizong specially sent the Zushitang to worship Wang Ji, to confront the "Sword Fairy Xu Jun" in the drive of Shandu.

It just so happened that Wang Ji was here today, and he also took the child who was less than ten years old, who turned out to be the new peak owner of Yuguizong Jiu Yifeng.

Pushan Huang Yiyun.

She was selected as one of the top ten martial arts masters in Tongyezhou's history, and Wu Tan, the martial sage, are the only two end-of-life martial arts in Tongyezhou.

And that old man turned out to be the first of the top ten dynasties of Tongyezhou, the grandfather of Yao Jinzhi, the current female emperor of the Daquan dynasty, and the old general Yao Zhen. There are two people beside the old man, one is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and the young man with a lame leg and broken arm is Lord Fu Yin from Daquan Mirage City.

In addition, as well as claiming to be a monk from Tieshushan in the Middle-earth God Island. There are also two Taoist priests from Badi Peak in Luzhou, Beiju. Isn't that a re-biography of the real fire dragon, or even a direct disciple?

They said with Master Cui Xian beforehand that they can guarantee that the three infamous people, while preserving the identity of Yuzhigang Genealogy monk, will be able to eat in Xiandu Mountain, at least not having to linger outside and get stunned. After all, the sect of Yuzhigang was destroyed, and it was an open door. Finally, an old throne demon Qiyun took the lead in climbing the mountain. The massacre was exhausted, especially the beautiful and beautiful repairs. The end was terrible, but now almost all the local monks in Tongyezhou, I feel that Yuzhigang is to blame.

In fact, the three fellows of Lan Yi are satisfied enough with this. It is hard to say how grateful to the Master Cui, but it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that he is sincerely grateful to Xiandu Shanyou. Even if Mr. Cui speaks directly, he has made clear his intentions early, that is, he has taken a fancy to their unique craftsmanship secreted by Shuyi Building, what does it matter? There is a place to live, and you can share the accounts together to earn money, not to mention that Cui Xianshi will not ask them for the Shuyilou secret method for refining Talisman Beauty.

Chen Ping’an didn’t use his heartfelt words, and directly said to the three of them: “You only need to practice peacefully on Xiandu Mountain. Someday you want to regain your old identity. Wait until you feel that the time is right in all aspects, even if you take the initiative to ask for it. Breaking away from the Xiandu Mountain genealogy, I can replace Cui Dongshan to assure you that there will be no obstacles on Xiandu Mountain, renew the incense inheritance of Yuzhigang Shuyi Tower, and even rebuild Yuzhigang, Xiandu Mountain will be slightly thinner. In addition, if you are willing, on our side of Xiandu Mountain, you will see people’s hearts for a long time, and you can trust Sect Master Cui and Xiandu Mountain. Then the two sides will formally become allies on the mountain. Before that, you can take the initiative to find scattered places. For the monks from Yuzhigang, Xiandu Mountain will take out a mountain as a temporary dojo to specially house them."

Lan Yi and the three people seemed to have eaten a big reassurance pill, which was simply a big surprise.

They alone don't even have a monk from the earth immortal. In their lifetime, rebuilding the Shuyi Tower is a great luxury, let alone renewing the incense for the entire Yuzhigang Patriarch Hall.

Cui Dongshan smiled knowingly. The husband obviously said it deliberately to everyone present.

The husband is going to make his own conclusion about the destruction of Yuzhigang.

Probably from the husband's point of view, if the times are troubled and you are destined to not tolerate a dizzy Yuzhigang, then Tongyezhou will inevitably need a Yuzhigang in the future of Taiping.

Therefore, no matter how the whole Tongyezhou views the incident at Yuzhigang, from Ao Pingzhou Luopo Mountain to Tongyezhou Qingping Jianzong, they are willing to renew the incense for Yuzhigang.

Cui Dongshan is full of energy.

That's great.

The more you can manage, the better.

I'm afraid that Mr. will completely be the shopkeeper of Shaking Hands. From now on, if you are not enthusiastic about Xiandu Mountain, and don't care about it, then you are a proud student, how worried you are.

Cui Dongshan came to Tao Ran, bumped Tao Jianxian with his elbow, and said with a heartfelt smile: "Tao Jianxian, tell you a few things, first of all, Jiang Shang is really our Xiandu Mountain Shangzong, the chief consecration of Luopo Mountain, but with I’ve got a pseudonym called Zhou Fei. Sovereign Jiang is in Our Laupao Mountain, his temper is old, and his reputation is very strong, so if you become a member of Xiandu Mountain’s Patriarch Hall, what if you scold him a few words? Mouthful. Surprise is not a surprise?"

Tao Ran sullen his face and silently told himself that even "Chen Ping An" is really Chen Ping An, and it is a trivial matter not to scold Jiang Shang.

"Then it's the Yu Mi that's an eye-obtrusive look at you, it's Mi Yu, the Mi from the Great Wall of Sword Qi, is it unexpected?"

Tao Ran carefully glanced from the corner of his eyes...Mi Yu, Tao Jianxian smiled awkwardly, and rubbed his waist subconsciously, always feeling chilly.

In fact, from Chen Ping An, to Xiao Mo, to Mi Yu, Tao Ran has already been scolded.

As the senior sister of Shuyilou, Lan Yi cried with joy and choked up: "Why should Mr. Chen treat us three unknown people so kindly."

Chen Ping'an gave his own answer, "I don't talk about the merits and demerits of that tragic change, nor the established facts that made a big mistake. I only talk about one thing. If there is no compassion, why open the door."

Chen Ping’an said: “The journey is bumpy and there is a long way to go. During this process, there will definitely be a lot of criticism. You should be mentally prepared early.”

Then Chen Ping’an smiled and said, “Of course, if you give up this idea someday and feel it’s too difficult, you’ll do your best, and you’re still unable to do it. If you can’t do it, you can’t do it. We Xiandushan also welcomes you. At that time, Qingpingfeng Patriarch Hall will arrange a chair for one of you."

Lan Yi, Yu Xinglou, Fu Zhu, the trio and the two suzerains, Chen Ping'an and Cui Dongshan, expressed their gratitude.

The auspicious time has come.

Cao Sunny took out the key and opened the gate of Qingpingfeng Patriarch Hall.

Chen Ping'an and Cui Dongshan, Mr. and students walked side by side into the gate, crossed the threshold, and took the lead towards the main hall of the Patriarch Hall.

As the ancestral mountain of Xiandu Mountain, in Qingpingfeng Patriarch Hall, only one scroll is hanging at the moment.

The ancestor of Shangzong, Chen Pingan, the lord of Luopo Mountain.

The green shirt carries the sword on his back, and the hosta is not on his head.

Extremely expressive.

In the end, Cui Dongshan still didn't follow the instructions of Mr., and hung the three hanging statues of Ji Sefeng Zushitang in the center, and then hung the portraits of him and Cui Dongshan on the left and right ends respectively.

Today, the celebration of the establishment of the next sect in Xiandu Mountain is still as usual. Like the previous Luopo Mountain, there is no red tape, and it is extremely simple and not cumbersome.

In the Patriarch Hall, there are two rows of chairs on the left and the other on the right.

On the first sect, Luopo Mountain. Yizong, Xiandu Mountain, Qingping Jianzong.

On one side is Chen Pingan, Changming, and Wei Wenlong. Pei Qian, Zhou Mi Li, Xiao Mo, Jia Sheng, Zhang Jiazhen.

Rear seats, Nalan Yubi, Bai Xuan, Sun Chun Wang, Chai Wu.

Twelve people in total.

On the other side there is Cui Dongshan, Wonderland. Mi Yu, a sword repairer in Wonderland. Cui Wei, Yuanying Realm Sword Repair. Cultivation of autumn, the pinnacle of Wufu in the remote travel world. On the right of the Sui Dynasty, Yuanying Realm Sword Repair. Cao Sunny, Brother Jindan. Tao Ran, Golden Core Realm Sword Repair.

In the back row, there is Shao Poxian, Yuan Ying Jing Jian Xiu. Meng Long, Shi Qiu. Go to Jiang. Yu Xianhui, Cheng Chaolu, He Gu. Wu Gou, Xiao Manying, two immortals and ghosts. Lan Yi, Yu Xinglou, Fu Zhu.

A total of nineteen people.

There are 31 members in the upper and lower cases.

Behind the two rows of chairs on the left and right, there are seats for the guests. One is a native of Tongyezhou, behind Cui Dongshan, the other is a foreigner, on Chen Ping'an's side.

Daquan Dynasty Yao Zhen, Fu Yin Yao Xianzhi, Li Xiling, the Book of Rites. Taiping Mountain is the master of Huangting, and the mountain is enshrined in Negative Mountain. Pushan Thatched Cottage, the mountain master Ye Yunyun, Zhang Lv Tan Rong, Xue Huai.

Zhang Fenggu, the ancestor of Yuguizong, enshrines Wang Ji, Qiu Zhi, the master of Jiuyi Peak, Wei Gusu, Wei Xianyou, and Jiang Heng, the blessed land of Yunku. Qiu Du, Hu Chuling. Zhong Kui, Yu Jin. The town’s demon building is the same.

Longhushan, the surnamed great celestial master Liang Shuang, Ma Xuanhui. Lidifeng refers to Xuanfeng Yuanling Hall and Zhangshanfeng. Taihui Jianzong, the lord Liu Jinglong, the white head of Pianranfeng. Tieshushan really, talk about Yingzhou. Zheng Yougan. Jin Jiazhou's great sword fairy Xu Hao. Ai Ai Zhou Liu Jubao, Liu Youzhou. Middle-earth Shenzhou mysterious dynasty, Yu Panshui.

Two groups of guests, a total of thirty-five people.

The seating arrangements on both sides are also very interesting, because there is no arrangement at all, and everyone just sits down.

Last time at the Jiise Peak of Luopo Mountain, Chen Nuanshu and Zhou Mili were responsible for handing incense.

This time Qingpingfeng was replaced by Cao Qingqing and Zhou Mili, each holding a pot of incense.

And the last time Luopo Mountain established the sect celebration, the ancestors of the Patriarch Hall of Jise Peak were honored with incense, forty-three Patriarchs of Patriarch Hall of Paise Peak were in front, and 36 people who watched the ceremony were in the back.

This time, the next sect worshiping incense ceremony, except for Chen Pingan, who is the ancestor of Shangzong, does not need to respect the incense, wearing a green shirt, just standing in the position headed on the left.

After all the people worshipped the incense in turn, they looked for chairs to sit down.

Zhong Kui could obviously feel Chen Ping'an's embarrassment.

Too young and promising is not good.

There was a person standing there alone, and then he was tasted by the great tianshi outside Longhushan, the **** of wealth Liu's, and Yu Panshui.

Fat Yu Jin feels helpless and always feels that he has suffered a great loss. Just thinking that Zhong Kui would have to negotiate with Chen Ping An to get back 50% of his family status for himself, so he endured it.

Zhang Shanfeng was also holding back his laugh.

Qingtong finds it very interesting.

After that, Cui Dongshan took Cao Qingqing and Luoposhan right guardian Zhou Mili, according to the customary mountain rules, first went to unveil the two plaques of the mountain gate and the ancestor hall.

Qingping Jianzong.

At the foot of Qingping Peak, I had to erect the ladder honestly and hang up the pair of couplets presented by Wu Shuangjiang.

Then he returned to the Patriarch Hall.

If it weren’t for Xiandu Mountain’s intention to keep everything simple, there will be a respected monk who will serve as a roll-call official, and will be responsible for reading aloud some of the ancestors, heads of immortals, and dynasties who have not been there in person. Of various congratulations. Generally, the next sect ceremony in the awe-inspiring world, because of the foundation of the previous sect and the passion of various incense, it may only be this part, often

It will take half an hour or even longer, because congratulations are often as many as hundreds of copies.

Skip this link, Cui Dongshan began to introduce all the people present step by step, starting from the Shangzong Luopo Mountain, then the Qingping Sword Genealogy monk, and finally the guests.

The next step is the Longevity of Luopo Shanzhanglu, announcing the members of the Patriarch Hall of Qingping Sword Sect.

Chen Pingan. The first lord Cui Dongshan, the master of the law Cui Wei, the chief worshiper Mi Yu, was in charge of a financial planting autumn. On the right of the Sui Dynasty, Cao Sunny, Tao Ran, Wu Gou, and Xiao Manying.

After that, Cui Dongshan, as the suzerain, officially invited Huang Ting of Taiping Mountain to serve as the chief guest for Qingping Jianzong. Pushan Ye Yunyun and Daquan Yao Xianzhi are famous guests.

Inviting Qingtong and Qiu Du to serve as the honorable mention of Qingping Sword Sect, and Jian Xiu Cao Jun, who was unable to attend the meeting today, to serve as the last worship. The three are equivalent to serving as members of the Qingping Peak Patriarch Hall.

At this point, the guests' observance of the ceremony is over.

After that, Qingping Jianzong’s first meeting of the Patriarch’s meeting will be held.

Members include Chen Ping An, Chang Ming, Wei Wenlong, Pei Qian, Zhou Mi Li, Xiao Mo, Jia Sheng.

Cui Dongshan, Mi Yu, Cui Wei, Chongqiu, Sui, on the right, Cao Sunny. Tao Ran, Wu Gou, Xiao Manying, Qiu Du.

In addition, the five ancestors have seats for worship, Keqing, Qingtong, and Qiudu. Huang Ting, Ye Yunyun, Yao Xianzhi.

Chen Ping'an personally sent the audience out of the Patriarch Hall. Except for a few who stayed in the square, they all began to return to the mansions and courtyards of Mi Xuefeng.

Not in a hurry to return to the Patriarch Hall, Chen Ping'an came to Liu Jubao and Yu Panshui who were on the top of the mountain, and said with a smile, "I'm so negligent."

Liu Jubao smiled and said jokingly: "You don't have to say hello to the hundreds of people you know and don't know. I'm an idler from start to finish. I would like to participate in such a relaxed and comfortable watching ceremony."

Yu Panshui glanced at the ferry and said with a smile: "His Lord Hidden officer, that wind kite ferry is not bad, right?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "One more one will be even better."

Yu Panshui was impatient, and complained: "Don't pick fat, just pick thin ones, there is no such business experience in the world."

Cui Dongshan jumped up and hugged Yu Panshui's neck, so that the latter had to bow his head and bow his waist, "Fatty Yu, who is fat if you are not fat."

Liu Jubao coughed slightly, and someone was finally willing to take his gaze back from somewhere, and hurriedly smiled and greeted the hermit.

Chen Ping'an looked at Liu Youzhou, nodded and smiled: "I miss Osmanthus Island for so many years, I miss it very much."

Both sides were still teenagers.

The Qingping Peak of Xiandu Mountain towers into the clouds, standing on the top of the mountain and looking into the distance, the sea of ​​clouds is surging in the field of vision.

On the white cloud in a blue shirt, Wan Jing is in both eyes.

In the Xuandu Temple, a fat man who seems to be able to breed fat every season, hanging from his waist is a peach charm that was personally given by the master of the old temple, and he can ignore those that are enough to make an ascendant monk hit the wall. Mysteriously restrained, Yan Zhuo Pidian Pidian found Sun Daochang’s dojo, which was a famous "Vipassana Vipassana", lightly knocked on the Zhumen of the main hall, and asked tentatively: "Old Guanzhu, are you in retreat? Are you busy?"

An impatient voice came from the room, "If you have something to say, it's okay to get out of it."

Yan Zhuo rubbed his hands outside the door and said, "When I came here, I knew someone from outside the world. He didn't wear a robes or scarves. Instead, he had hairpins and flowers. If the other person’s character is in the palm of the hand? To be strong, maybe it is a huge business that never ceases to flow, with a huge profit!"

Yan Zhuo had just left the door. He called it a go out to practice, but it was actually a group of side branches and hilltops of the vassal of the Xuandu Temple.

Before in the ancestral courtyard of Xuanduguan, Yan Zhuo didn't feel anything. Anyway, he could see the master of the old man in the peach forest every three to five. He moved two benches to sit in the stream and drank a little wine together. As for the difference of seven or eight generations between the two sides, Daochang Sun does not pay attention to it, and Yan Zhuo is not polite. Daochang Sun does not take things seriously and acts and works. Those high-gong real people are even more polite to Yan Zhuo. In addition, Xuan Du Guan is a Taoist sword fairy. In the veins, the Taoist officials often carry swords or sabers, which naturally gave Yan Zhuo an illusion.

It seems that he is still in his hometown and the Great Wall of Jianqi.

You don't need to care about your seniority, realm or anything.

As a result, when Yan Zhuo really left Xuandu Temple and went to the vast mountains and rivers outside, he learned that the Taoist priests from the ancestral court of Xuandu Temple were out of the house. They were very famous, and those grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the world. The lord, the true guardian of the country, spread branches and leaves all over Qizhou, and saw this young fat man, he didn't need Yan Zhuo to give out the prepared rhetoric, he was very polite to this young fat man from the ancestral court. polite.

In fact, Yan Zhuo misunderstood. Not all genealogical officials who came out of Xuan Du Temple had this treatment. Those Dao Sect immortals were actually really curious about what this fat man had to do with the old Guan Zhu, so they all used it. With a playful look of "the old master shouldn't have found an illegitimate child to take home outside", he looked at the more face-to-face surnamed Yan Jianxiu.

After all, there are not many Taoist Taoist priests who dare to fight the Taolin idea.

The old master has always adhered to a certain purpose. Since he has accepted disciples, the teacher does not teach it by himself. Should they be allowed to run outside and let outsiders teach the principles of life?

Coupled with some unique and distinctive styles of the old view master, by the way, the entire Xuandu view is unique in the Qingming world, and it is possible to walk sideways outside the Baiyujing realm.

As for Yan Zhuo's true identity, as the Xuantu Guan of the ancestors of the various veins, he has not publicized it to the outside world, deliberately concealing it. If the old master doesn't mention this, who dares to leak the news.

Therefore, even in today's Xuandu Temple, there are no more than ten Taoists who know that Yan Zhuo is from the Great Wall of Jianqi, together with the Taoist "gatekeeper" Han Zhanran with the Taoist name "Chunhui".

Anyway, Xuan Du Guan never lacks stories and talks.

Sun Daochang sneered and said, "Is that the madman who likes to pretend to be auntie?"

I heard that this servant swayed all the way to the border of Qizhou before stopping. It was really a dog nose. This is not the case when the senior sister left the customs, and immediately rushed over.

However, the other party still understood some rules, and did not directly enter the realm of Xuandu View. After all, Xuandu Guan couldn't deal with the mountain where he was. This guy was probably worried about being covered in sack.

As for the so-called business that Fatty Yan said, it was not to harm that peach forest.

At first, Yan Zhuo deceived a big fool's smile into solidification.

After a moment of silence, Yan Zhuo jumped and furiously said: "Could it be a liar? It's really a rebellion. I dare to swindle and abduct to the door of our Xuandu Temple. I will call Sister Zhan Ran and ask him for justice!"

It turned out that the other party threatened that the peach stick pen, peach talisman, peach leaf bookmark and other items that Yan Zhuo carefully manufactured could be sold to Yongzhou, which is not bordered by Qizhou, so that he could make a lot of money. As long as Yan Xianguan nodded, he could wait to collect the money in the future.

In addition, Xuanduguan still has a basket of peaches every year. Anyway, every year, the Taoists of Xuanduguan can't finish it. They don’t charge money as gifts, so why waste it? There are so many Taoist halls. There are celebrations every day. When there are celebrations, you need a dustpan and a basket of Xianjia vegetables and fruits. The Xuanduguan Xiantao, which is famous throughout the Qingming world, can worry about its sales?

Yan Zhuo felt that it was feasible. No matter how courage the other party was, no matter how high his backing was, he wouldn't dare to fool us into Xuantu Guan's head, right?

"How did he register himself with you."

"This guy calls himself Qingling. He has a name but no surname. He doesn't have a dao name or anything. He says that he has only been in trouble for a long time. There are many friends on the road, and they are willing to sell him a bit of thin noodles..."

Hearing this, the veteran inside the house sneered. This is a gangster, and there are many friends on the road.

"I asked him what his realm was, and he honestly explained that he is a fairyland, from the top mountain in Yongzhou, very prestigious in his sect, and I see him with three entourages around him, it seems that they are all land The god, probably because I’m afraid I won’t believe it, this fellow Qingzero Daoist also actively asked to take an iron flute with him as a deposit, but I didn’t dare to receive it. He reported a mailing address, and it is estimated that at this time, Still waiting for my news."

Sun Daochang smiled and hesitated whether to inform the senior sister of this person's news.

This place is actually the Patriarch Hall of Xuandu Temple, the root place of all the branches and leaves of the sword immortal family of Taoism in the world.

There are as many as forty or fifty portraits of Taoist ancestors hanging in the main hall.

The Taoist temples of the Tianxia Sect and the descendants of the temple outside Bai Yujing, hanging statues depend on their respective backgrounds. In addition, some are Jindan Taoists. After death, the hanging statues can occupy a place in the Patriarch Hall and enjoy the incense, but For a behemoth like Xuan Duguan, it needs to be a Yupu realm monk to start.

It is only because he is a contemporary master who has a high level of Taoism and long enough to live long enough to occupy the pit without **** for too many years. Therefore, many of the "patriarchs" above the statues are actually lower in seniority than Sun Huaizhong.

The hanging statues in the Patriarch's Hall are arranged in order from high to low according to their seniority, and they are like a pagoda in the end.

On the upper part of the wall, there are three hanging statues, which are blank, and two are juxtaposed. They belong to the future master Sun Huaizhong and the senior sister Wang Sun.

It's like a kind of "vacant position to wait." In the Qingming world, it is not too strange. This is the reason that the old people don't hesitate to talk about life and death, and they will prepare the coffin for themselves early in life.

The more blank hanging statues in the Hall of the Patriarchs of the Immortal Mansion on a mountain naturally means the more living Patriarchs of this sect.

The gate of the Patriarch Hall slowly opened. Sun Daochang crossed the threshold and walked out of the hall, squinting his beard, "He is looking for a poor senior sister. Looking for business with you is just a bonus, and he is using you as a stepping stone."

When opening the door, Fatty Yan lowered his head and did not look at the scene in the hall. When the door was closed, Yan Zhuo looked up again and asked a very pragmatic question, "Lord, can you tell me the truth? I will tell him. Partnership, can you really make a lot of money?"

Daochang Sun nodded and said: "Yes."

Yan Zhuo was relieved when he heard the words, "As long as it's not a liar, it's always a good thing to know a few more people of this kind, and to have a familiar face."

Sun Daochang smiled and said: "This Long Xinpu doesn't like to stay on the mountain and practice well. He likes to run into the rivers and lakes to stir the water. After a long time, those with shallow eye sockets are honored as "Longshi", just with Lin Jiangxian. Compared with that'Master Lin', the gold content is a bit far behind. Anyway, Long Xinpu has a thick skin. Even if there is someone who is not afraid of death, he is willing to call him Longzhang instruct, he dare to accept it."

That old Taoist with the pseudonym Qingling, real name Long Xinpu, was an old ancestor of Bingjie Mountain in Yongzhou, and if calculated by seniority, he was still the grand ancestor of the contemporary mountain lord.

Bingjie Mountain is one of the top hills in Yongzhou. As the only remaining "old man of the same generation" in Bingjie Mountain, he claims to have prestige in the martial art, and has a thin face outside.

But here in Bingjie Mountain, the atmosphere is rather strange, the monks are not very old, there is the saying that "a thousand years of calamity", and it is not that the older you are, the more you can fight.

Because the monks over there are not long enough, so this person’s seniority actually took a big advantage. Otherwise, it should be said that in the sects of Xuandu Temple and Caishoushan, there is a great ancestor who is the master of the monk and the sect master. Don't scare people to death?

After all, if you can live for five to six thousand years, where can your realm be so low?

This Long Xinpu of Bingjieshan was from the same hometown as his senior sister, or the same year, and both came from a small place in Yongzhou.

But when it comes to realm, cultivation aptitude, and fighting ability, it's a thousand miles worse than my senior sister.

The boy dangled outside, not starving to death, nor being beaten to death, just relying on a mouth. The three falls in a row are all caused by the failure of the mouth.

Yan Zhuo asked curiously: "This senior, is the senior sister who is rushing to watch the Lord? Is there any talk here?"

Daochang Sun stared, "Don't ask if you shouldn't."

If your kid talks messily with a big mouth, and doesn't care about anything like a junior with your sister's temper, then the senior sister will go back to clean up, it will be a poor way.

Back then, when Dao was not old, it was nothing, but now he is the master of one view anyway. It is a little bit of face, and it's unreasonable to reach out with his hand and cover half of his face every day.

Sun Daochang walked out of this forbidden area of ​​Vipassana, and asked casually: "How do you feel when you go out?"

Yan Zhuo sighed with emotion: "The majestic and prestigious, I am popular wherever I go. It is very good, and it is not in vain. Not as good as me."

In fact, this is due to the recommendation of the young hermit. Otherwise, Fatty Yan, who is covered in bronze and smelly, in the well-regulated Bai Yujing, on the road of making money, I am afraid that there are 18 kinds of martial arts, and there is not much room for display. .

The status of Lin Jiangxian's Yashan in the Ruzhou relied on the large number of people and the strong support of the Jianghu sect of the Chijin Dynasty. Yashan's direct martial artist, of course, can walk sideways in the mountains and rivers of that continent.

And Xuan Du Guan is well deserved in this Qizhou...

Unlike Yinzhou, the two Jingshan and Dachao sects have faced each other since ancient times, and their forces are the same. Of course, today is different. The two families have become a family, and they are still the kind of family literally. In the marriage of the sects on the mountain, most of the disciples looked at each other right, and then tied the knot. How can two masters of the sect become a Taoist couple? This is indeed the first time in the Qingming world.

There is also a harvesting mountain in Zhuzhou, which competes with the Qingci Palace, one of the ancestral courts of the Taoist Fulu.

Even on the side of Youzhou, there is a Shoushan Pavilion, which is able to match the Huayang Palace of the Earth Lung Mountain.

It's hard to say who is the dominant family.

In Yongzhou, there are Xianzhang faction and Bingjieshan, two top sect immortal palaces, always vying for the position of the leader of the state.

Of course, Bai Yujing was the master of the entire Qingming world, even if it was Xuantu Guan, there was still a huge gap with it.

It can even be said that all the sects in the Qingming world are Bai Yujing's "outer door" vassals.

Yan Zhuo asked, "Old Guanzhu, can I do business with him?"

Sun Daochang hummed, "It's up to you, money comes and goes, it's just business, there is no taboo here."

What's more, the old grudge between Xuandu Guan and Bingjieshan, from Sun Huaizhong's point of view, is not deadlocked. It is just that the contemporary mountain lord of Bingjieshan has his brains, and he refuses to come out.

Daochang Sun asked: "Do you really like making money so much?"

Yan Zhuo smiled and said: "I like it when I was young. I like it when I was young. Besides practicing swordsmanship, I have to find something to do to help distract and distract."

Daochang Sun nodded, "It's pretty good."

If there is a chance, through this transaction, the two parties can ease the relationship, and in the future, I recommend Yan Zhuo to serve as the deacon of the accountant of the ancestral court of Xuan Du Guan. Anyway, I also have a talk.

In order to avoid being called nepotism, Xuan Duguan has no shortage of sweeping Taoists for the time being.

Daochang Sun said: "You go call Di Yuanfeng and Zhan Qing, and go out with Pin Dao for a relaxing time."

Yan Zhuo nodded and agreed, and then he went to call the two lucky guys with deep blessings.

Yan Zhuo asked tentatively: "Should I fly the sword to send a letter to the old Bingjieshan?"

Daochang Sun shook his head and said, "No."

Last time, Sun Daochang traveled far away from the Aperture, and once again traveled through the vast world. Finally, he collected two direct disciples from Luzhou in Beiju, and they were included in the Universe in the sleeves together, and brought back the Xuandu Temple.

It was just a personal pass in name, and a few Dao books and a few fairy tactics were lost to them. In fact, it was the upper five-level Daoist like "concierge" Han Zhanran who really taught swordsmanship and Dao tactics for the double.

According to Sun Daochang, he should be preaching to others

Master, Poor Dao has a shortcoming. You can teach genius, but you can't teach stupid people.

How dare those two young people from outside of Luzhou, North Juzhou, have any complaints.

I only feel that being able to have a relationship with a thunderous fifth person in the world, even if it is only in the name of a teacher and apprentice, is already a great blessing for the ancestral grave, and I dare not expect more.

Moreover, as long as it is a Taoist priest of Xuandu Guan's ancestral veins, he can practice with peace of mind. At least no one has to worry about being bullied outside.

In the arms of the old master grandson, it is like a towering ancient tree, sheltering all the Taoist priests from the wind and rain.

Yan Zhuo went to find Di Yuanfeng and Zhan Qing, and said that your master had made a decree, asking us to accompany his old man to go out and relax. People are more popular than others. These two people of the same age, as the direct descendants of the old Buddhist masters, have a lawless seniority in the Xuandu Temple, and they have made an exception to practice in Taolin Jiemao. Two Di Yuanfeng, when they saw this Fatty Yan, they didn't dare to have any underestimating thoughts. Without saying anything, they immediately followed Yan Zhuo to see Master.

In their hometown of Luzhou, Beiju, at a site of an immortal mansion, Di Yuanfeng and Zhan Qing had personally learned how to act in a "non-human" style.

It's no wonder that you can be called Fellow Chen Xiaodao by your own master.

Only when they later learned that the other party turned out to be the last hermit of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, they began to rejoice for their "rest of life" and the blessings in disguise, and cherished the now stable years of cultivation.

Yan Zhuo smiled and said, "In the future, Chen Ping’an came to Xuan Duguan. The three of you are really old friends reunited, and you still have to have a good drink? Do you have any ideas about this drink? I can help you prepare a few celestial immortals early. Home wine, the price, it’s easy to say, the original price is guaranteed!"

Di Yuanfeng didn't speak up.

Zhan Qing smiled and said, "If you dare to love it, Brother Lao Yan will bother too much."

In fact, the first meeting with Di Yuanfeng and the others was also the first time Chen Ping'an took the courage after he strayed into the blessed lotus root and took the initiative to learn from the monk on the mountain to enter the mysterious land of mountains and rivers, seek ways to visit immortals, and pursue opportunities.

If you only look at the results, Chen Ping'an has certainly gained a lot, but the danger of the process is indeed a lingering fear. In addition to this, Chen Ping'an was tantamount to invisibly taking on a cause and effect of considerable weight. In the small Taoist temple on the top of the mountain, there is a middle-aged Taoist peach wood statue enshrined. This person's true identity is the younger brother of Taoist Master Sun of Xuandu Temple. Personally asked Dao and Jian Xuan Du Guan, the person who died under the truly invincible sword was this Xuan Du Guan Taoist official.

And this person's direct disciple Song Maolu is a Taoist who is known as "blue is better than blue".

According to the truth of Huolong on Tianfushui Island in Longgong Xiaodong, this Taoist priest, who belonged to the master nephew of Laoguan, once used Yongzhou as his base camp and gathered nearly 60% of the Taoist dharma veins outside of Bai Yujing. This statement, of course, will have a certain amount of moisture. Because the small group of sects and immortals, the world's top sects, did not really form an alliance with Soong Maolu back then. There may be a contract in private, but at least on the face of it, there is no alliance with Yongzhou, but even so, it is enough to shock the world, just like the real person of the fire dragon used a metaphor at the time. , Can contend with half of Confucianism, and compete with the Chinese Confucian Temple.

And Song Maolu's master, Sun Daochang's junior, the peach wood statue of this old Taoist priest in the ascending realm, is now the key to the wooden house, one of Chen Ping's Five Elements' natal creatures.

Except for Di Yuanfeng and Zhan Qing, who were received by the old masters in their sleeves, it was like a rooster and dog ascending to heaven, turning into a rainbow, and flying into the sky. In fact, she almost became the old master of the willows in Caique Mansion. His personal disciple.

Yan Zhuo was curious and said, "When will our brothers have a little wine, tell me how they met Chen Ping An during the trip back then."

Because of Chen Ping'an, Yan Zhuo is very close to them.

As for what these two people think, Fatty Yan doesn't care.

Zhan Qing agreed with a smile, saying that of course it was okay, but Di Yuanfeng felt helpless. He really didn't want to mention the old, cunning, money-making "good man".

Di Yuanfeng, who fell in his family back then, wore an ancestral sword on his waist. He once enshrined him with a family from a frontier military commander and learned some swordsmanship. He once used the identity of Qin Juyuan of Jiayou Country. Of course, it was the latter who planted the blame and spilled dirty water. Along the way, I met "Sun Daochang", Huang Shi and others, and several unwelcome Shanze Yexiu, worked together to seek for money, and walked through the secret realm of Xianfu. Di Yuanfeng tied his head to the waistband of his trousers. I'm desperate to be rich and rich. On the other hand, Zhan Qing, as the young master of Beiting Elementary School, is a well-known romantic and thin lover. At the beginning, he used bamboo sticks and mango shoes, a mutton jade flute around his waist, and a pair of noble sons, carrying the hidden root. The bamboo stick of a soft sword, accompanied by a beautiful woman, is simply a trip to the mountains and rivers.

As for the old masters, why are they willing to accept them as disciples and bring them back to the Qingming world? Zhan Qing and Di Yuanfeng are still at a loss. The old real people of the upper five realms called uncle and uncle, even uncle and uncle, and even were respectfully called that great uncle and uncle.

It's just that the relationship between the two people in the same family is actually normal now. After all, the two sides have never been the same.

Different ways, of course, they just think so.

Zhan Qing asked cautiously: "Brother Yan, the hermit, as a foreigner, how did he get a foothold on the Great Wall of Jianqi in the first place?"

Yan Zhuo thought about it seriously, then laughed and said, "Treat people with sincerity!"

When Fatty Yan went to call someone, Dao Chang Sun found his senior sister Wang Sun, and asked tentatively: "The Long Xinpu in Bingjieshan has come to the door, do you want to see him?"

The girl’s graceful female crown said with a calm expression: "If the other party is under the guise of retelling the old from the same country, it will be avoided. No. If you think that he is here to discuss things with our Xuandu, and it is more important, anyway, you are the one to watch. Lord, it doesn't matter to me."

Daochang Sun asked: "If the other party has both, what is good?"

Wang Sun said: "Of course it's official business rather than private business. It's okay to meet each other."

Sun Daochang was relieved, was silent for a moment, and said with no reason, "Senior Sister, our master, is a person who has a good night."

As the master of Sun Daochang and Senior Sister Wang Sun, the old Taoist priest with the Taoist name "Qingyuan" is dead, and is dead without disease. A few apprentices are all considered promising. If they leave a few hundred years later, they may be worried.

Wang Sun nodded and said, "Fortunately, Master can walk away, otherwise we will live a few more years, and we will be mad at death by the few of us."

Even when it comes to Master, Wang Sun still has no taboo when talking.

Sun Daochang smiled and said: "One by one, you were not willing to take over the position of Master. I have always suspected that Master chose me back then. Did Master Sister talk to Master secretly? "

"If there is no evidence, stop talking nonsense."

Sitting under the peach tree, Wang Sun stretched out his hand to hold a long sword in its sheath, and taught: "The junior is not big or small."

Sun Daochang laughed blankly.

At that time, there were as many as seven children who were appointed as the master of the Buddhist temple by Xuandu Guan, the leader of the "Qingyuan" Daoist, and were led by the old true man into the Buddhist temple at the same time. NS.

There were only seven children, and as a result, only ascended cultivators were among them, and then there were three!

In addition to the grandson who had just left the customs, the current master Sun Huaizhong, and the younger brother of both parties who like to hold a mountain stick and carry a scorpion, come from a small place rich in loquats, born in poverty, named Huanggan, and later said. No. "Green Lee".

The three fellow students, Sun Huaizhong, senior sister Wangsun, and junior brother Huang Gan, all entered the ascension realm one after another, and they also served as the abbots of Xuandu Temple.

Therefore, the year when he took office as the master and finally accepted his disciples was also regarded by later generations as a "big year" in the history of Xuantu Guan, the most abundant year.

Even if it is placed in the heavy old almanac pages in the entire Qingming world, it is destined to be a rich stroke.

Therefore, the old scholar took a child with a tiger-head hat last time as a guest Xuandu Temple, so he made a special trip to this Patriarch's Hall to respect three sticks of incense to the former master.

Both the people on the hanging statues and the pilgrims outside the hanging statues are good at accepting disciples.

In addition, the closed disciples of the old scholars and the younger disciples who took up the post of the master also have a great relationship.

This is very good.

The master of Xuandu Temple, Yuanhe, was named "Qingyuan." The first time an old Taoist officially preached to the disciples who entered the room, he threw a book of Taoist ancestors with only 5,000 words to the children.

And Wang Sun just read the opening six words of "Dao can be Tao is very Tao", and she closed the book.

That year, he was only an old Taoist priest who served as one of the three capitals in Xuan Du Temple, and he nodded and smiled.

Let her play.

The little girl who was still wearing two croissants at that time jumped out of the house and went to play alone.

Only Sun Huaizhong and his fellow brothers were left, all with big eyes and small eyes, and they were shocked by the heavens.

Sun Huaizhong asked the senior sister afterwards what was going on.

At that time, the sister's explanation was that I didn't know how to read, so the master threw a book to me.

Sun Huaizhong really believed him, young and ignorant, young and ignorant.

Indeed, her hometown is the elder sister Wang Sun from Yongzhou. Her family has been snake catchers for generations, and it is not surprising that she has never read to read.

On the other hand, Sun Huaizhong, most of them with good backgrounds in practice, don’t even talk about literacy, but they have memorized a lot of Taoism in various veins. The whole Taoist is hidden.

It was many years before Sun Huaizhong knew the truth. It turned out that the senior sister just thought that the younger brother "little grandson" who had just met for a short time, no matter how young, was a cultivator, she could ask such idiot questions. It looks pitiful. , She just found a lame excuse to comfort him.

Anyway, in those years, every time the senior sister saw Sun Huaizhong, her eyes were extremely "kind", and she never kept her face cold. Mostly, she was treated like a poor little fool who needed her.

Since then, Wang Sun’s path of cultivation has been extremely smooth, and the situation has broken like a bamboo.

It's completely crushing his peers, Yiqi Juechen, can only look at the ascending back of that king and grandson from a distance.

Over time, all Taoist priests of the Hui character generation in Xuan Duguan recognized their fate. There is no way to compare, so don't compare with Wang Sun.

Discuss Taoism, discuss justice, and no one will look for that grandson.

Wang Sun first crushed his peers, then caught up with the teachers, and then the two generations on the top of the emblem. Among them, there are many amazing cultivating geniuses, but they are all surpassed by Wang Sun one by one.

It is no joke to say that later generations commented on Wang Sun's "general corner".

As a younger brother Huang Gan, who is second only to Wang Sun in cultivation, the saying "Be a god" before entering the Xuan Du Temple was the one with the slowest cultivation.

As for Sun Huaizhong, during those carefree years of cultivating, he thought that he was not good enough to be good, and he was not so outstanding. Since there are senior sister Wangsun, genius and not genius, it is meaningless. As for later, he was said to be It's a late bloomer, and it's accumulating, and it sounds like a curse.

On Xuanduguan’s ancestral court, after the generation of Taoist priests with the emblems of the emblem grew up, Xuanduguan, as the leader of the world’s Taoist sword and immortal family, is actually a famous "mountain" in Qizhou. "Mountain", a secluded monastery, does not stain the world, and has very little contact with the outside world.

When the Taoist officials of the Hui-character generation began to grow into the backbone of the Xuandu Temple, they occupied important positions in the Taoist temple.

Often there are fellow students who have suffered a loss. Wang Sun waved his big hand, and it was the dozens of monks of the same age who secretly traveled far away with his teachers behind his back. Sun Huaizhong took the lead every time. The younger brother Huang Gan was the strategist, and the senior sister Wang Sun Cici Responsible for dealing with those with high levels and letting her clean up the mess. For example, after returning to the Taoist temple, she talked with the elders of the teachers and elders. After the training, she had to think about it. , Being confined to Taolin together, this is called the same difficulty.

After Sun Huaizhong emerged from the Hui-character generation and unexpectedly became the abbot of Xuandu Guan, for thousands of years, under Sun Guanzhu’s acquiescence and even secretly adding to the flames, the Taoist priests of Xuandu Guanjian’s lineage were the favorite and the best at them. The style of "single challenge" has even been carried forward to its apex. The dozens of exquisite sword formations in Xuan Duguan are magnificent. How did they come? Of course, they came from a field fight.

And from the young grandson, the young master, and then the old master, those stinky problems...have to be put in a more fair way. They are some good traditions that are well-known to passers-by. Come to draw a gourd with sister Wang Sunyi.

For example, hit someone as early as possible.

Qingping Jianzong, the first meeting of the Patriarch Hall.

There is a coffee table next to the chair, and a bowl of tea and a plate of melon seeds are placed on it.

It seems that it will become a certain kind of rule in the discussion of the Patriarch Hall in the future.

Cao Qingqing and Pei Qian are responsible for carrying the pot and pouring tea, and the millet grains are responsible for dividing the seeds.

The little girl in black has a very serious look, how can it be, the total number of seeds in each plate, she has to ensure that the accuracy of a single seed is not bad!

I stayed with Pei Qian last night to stay alive. She practiced for a long time, but she still felt that it was not safe enough. At most, the error was within two or three melon seeds. Anxious, Pei Qian helped her think of a seamless way, and she took it out. When there is an error in the melon seeds, Pei Qian's eyes indicate the millet grains, the signal is two to two, and a reminder that one is missing. Haha, perfect!

Chen Pingan took the lead in knocking on the melon seeds, and the good person mountain master quickly saw the way, um, very good, there are three more than the others, and sure enough, the millet grains are still very towards him.

Jia Sheng sat in the most righteous position. The old gods thought that the first meeting of the Patriarch's Hall for the establishment of the sect was not his own. He never thought that Chen Shanzhu was still so obsessed, and Cui was still so respectful and respectful.

Qiu Du is not much better than Old Immortal Jia.

In fact, besides Jia Sheng and the old woman, Yao Xianzhi is the most awkward one. He half-joked with Mr. Chen to ask for the status of the next guest. He didn't take it too seriously. He never wanted to be a famous guest. There is a fixed seat in Qingpingfeng Patriarch Hall.

As for Tao Jianxian, of course he didn't doze off.

"Everyone is more casual, it's not like'just pretend' to chat with the family behind closed doors, it's just that."

Chen Ping'an picked up the tea bowl, paused for a moment, as if he had felt it, and smiled and said, "I must admit that we have a very righteous atmosphere and everyone has credit."

Slightly cold, Chen Ping'an originally planned to put down a sentence. Since everyone in the room didn't speak, it was acquiescence, very good, and began to discuss matters.

Fortunately, the old fairy Jia had a sincere expression on his face and took the lead to break the silence, and said in a deep voice: "It's a must!"

So Cui Dongshan, Pei Qian, and Cao Sunny all stared at the old fairy Jia.

Chen Pingan stood up suddenly.

At the gate of Qingpingfeng Mountain, out of thin air, there was a woman in a red cotton-padded jacket with flying brows, with a wine gourd hanging on her waist, holding a horse in one hand, and beckoning and shouting: "Little Master!"
