6. But this is the city that does not fall.
Haitian Realm, Shanhaiguan.
Shanhaiguan has a long history, long before the founding of the Dragon Emperor Holy Dynasty, and even before it existed.
Shanhaiguan is the frontier of defense against the invasion of the Sea Tribe.
A month ago, the Sea Clan launched a frantic attack on Shanhaiguan without knowing what the wind was blowing, and they vowed not to give up until they stepped on land.
The birth of the sea tribe is longer than that of Shanhaiguan. Legend has it that the Sea Tribe, once called the Xianyun Tribe, ruled the interior for thousands of years, and then the Terran people rose up, and they were driven into the sea, and they gradually changed from land to sea.
Time has changed, and the soldiers of the Sea Clan have gradually lost the ability to stay on land for a long time, and only the strong can come and go freely, but the peak of the Dragon Emperor Holy Dynasty has gradually extinguished the desire of the Sea Clan to invade the inland, so there has been no war in Shanhaiguan for a long time.
Because of this, he was caught off guard.
Qin Shouzhi, the guard of Shanhaiguan, used all his skills to resist the invasion of the Sea Clan, and sent people out to ask for help.
Ten months have passed, and defenders have been transferred from all over the Haitian Realm, but it is a pity that the regular establishment that has been comfortable for a long time cannot defeat the fierce sea tribe at all.
The reinforcements of the Holy Dynasty were still on the way, which made Qin Shouzhi anxious.
At this time, a subordinate suddenly proposed: "Why don't you send someone to the city to ask for help?"
When Qin Shouzhi heard this, he thought that the city was not far away, and if the Queen of the Golden Crow was willing to help, the Sea Clan would definitely not be able to take advantage, so he immediately agreed.
......
Do not fall into the city, the temple of the golden crow.
The temple is vast, it can be seen that there are many jade pillars, if you count them one by one, it will take a lot of effort.
The temple lies not in its size, but in its solemnity and quietness, and in the sense of historical precipitation exuded by the ancient buildings, so that everyone who steps in can't help but feel awe.
There are three-legged black carvings on the jade pillars, the stone bricks on the ground are as smooth as mirrors, the light can shine on people, each piece is depicted with violet, each cluster is like other extensions, from the beginning to the end, as if all are connected together and blooming.
Violet symbolizes eternity and is used in the Golden Crow Temple, meaning that the sacred fire of the ancestral witch will be passed on forever.
In the middle is a dark red carpet leading to the throne, with openwork violets on both sides.
"Every time you step into the temple, a new awe sprouts. ”
At the entrance of the main hall, the current Queen of the Golden Crow walked in slowly.
Behind him is a retro gentleman in his fifties, and the other is a girl with an expressionless face.
The retro gentleman smiled a standard smile: "Oh, my Queen, what do you have to say, I am listening to you." ”
"Look at the carpet beneath our feet. The Queen said.
"What's wrong with the carpet?" said the gentleman.
The queen said: "Look at the patterns on both sides, each pattern represents a talisman, and there are at least a thousand talismans here, and their function is only to keep the carpet clean. Buluo City also spends at least 100,000 taels a year to maintain the normal operation of these talismans. ”
Where the three of them walked, a little bit of dust fell, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The gentleman smiled and said: "This is exactly the privilege that the noble you should enjoy, in your eyes of the world, everything should be spotless, if there is a little stain and dare to do evil, they must not have to die, but have to change a group of people." ”
"I was about to say," said the Queen, lightly, "that the annual salary of the squires would be too much of a budget, and if the carpet were to be re-laid once a day, it would be much less than the wear and tear of maintaining the talismans." ”
"But that's what it is. The gentleman laughed.
The queen suddenly laughed too, her laughter was delicate but not greasy, charming but not vulgar, "Yes, this is the city that does not fall, this is the palace that belongs to me." ”
Tang Sanghua, or Tang Buluo, is a little more mature than when she was in Shenzhou. Originally, she seemed to be seventeen or eighteen years old, about the same age as Yan Li, but now she looks like she is in her early twenties, and what has not changed is that she is still so beautiful and beautiful, with a pair of bright eyes that can speak, like autumn water.
Under the exquisite texture of the Blue Dragon Palace, the most conspicuous thing is still the small waist that can be held and the magnificent proud peaks, which still cause a strong visual impact.
The long skirt crossed at the calves, branching out to the sides, extending layer upon layer of carved folds that swayed to the ground like a cluster of flowers gliding on the carpet.
Three thousand green silk hung two locks on the chest, the rest of the some were braided, some were combed to the top of the head, and the forehead was combed to knot, and a playful natural hair ornament was tied, a golden hollow crown, and the hair ornament was circled in the middle, which seemed not only playful and lovely, but also showed a natural dignity.
Tang Buluo walked to the throne, and the palace maid who had been waiting for her came up and lifted the long skirt that was lying on the ground, and then she slowly turned around and sat down, "Is there a new list in Tiance Building?"
"Yesterday was the beginning of the month, my majesty. The gentleman said with a smile.
"I was so busy that I forgot. Tang Buluo smiled and said, "How is it, is there any new change in our empress?"
The gentleman smiled inexplicably and said, "Is Your Majesty really concerned about the empress?"
"Isn't it?" Tang Buluo glanced at him.
The gentleman said: "The empress didn't make any big moves in the giant deer realm. ”
Tang Buluo was about to speak, when a guard strode in from outside the hall.
Bow down before the throne, "See Your Majesty." ”
Tang Buluo waved his hand and said, "What's the matter?"
The guard said: "The Shanhaiguan guard sent an envoy to ask for help, saying that the Sea Clan suddenly launched an attack, and they couldn't hold it anymore. ”
The gentleman was surprised and said, "It's strange, the Sea Clan hasn't set foot on land for many years, and suddenly what's wrong?"
Tang Buluo said coldly: "The Sea Clan is attacking Shanhaiguan, not Buluocheng, let them get out." ”
"Wow. "The guards are gone.
Not long after, another person strode in, it was a young man who looked very handsome, and there was a divine glow flowing between Gu Pan, which made people impressed at a glance.
He nodded to the ground on one knee in front of the throne and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I'm back." ”
"How's the investigation?" said Don Buluo.
The young man said: "According to the information revealed by the unknown person, I found out that the Cao Gang did contain a mysterious person five years ago, this person is likely to be Gong Wanlin, after he stole the Witch God Treasure Book, in order to avoid the pursuit of the city, it is very likely that the powerful Cao Gang used the powerful Cao Gang as a cover. ”
Tang Buluomei's eyes shot out an astonishing cold light, "He made me the first witch king in the history of Buluo City to lose the witch god treasure, it's better to give me life, don't kill him with my own hands, how can I eliminate the hatred in my heart!"
The young man added, "I found out another thing. ”
"What's the matter?" said Don Buluo.
The young man said: "There was a strange case five years ago. ”
"What strange case?" said the gentleman.
The young man said: "The Cao Gang lost a shipload of goods, and inside that ship, there is suspected that there is a treasure of the witch god. It is said that Shangguan Jinhong, the leader of the Cao Gang, spent a lot of money for this, just to find out that person, but he didn't get anything for five years. Recently, news suddenly came out that the bandit appeared, and it was a guy named Yan Sheng. ”
"Oh?" said the gentleman.
The young man said: "Shangguan Jinhong bought Yan Sheng at a high price from a famous catcher in Jinyang, and the news leaked out somehow. It is said that the things he stole back then are now in the hands of a person named Gu Guanlan. ”
"Gu Guanlan?" Tang Buluo said, "What kind of person is it?"
The young man said hesitantly: "Tianjiao is ranked forty-eighth on the list, and he has killed the Fengtian Sect, according to Tiance Lou's evaluation, he is a new star of kendo with unlimited potential. ”
"Kill the Mukden disciples?" the gentleman laughed, "That's not bad, there aren't many empowerments in this world that can kill the Mukden disciples." ”
The young man smiled bitterly and said, "No, this person broke through the realm in battle, and he just cultivated the initial realm. ”
Tang Buluo raised his eyebrows: "There are still such people?"
The young man said: "Your Majesty, many people are now spreading that the witch god treasure is in his hands and is ready to snatch it." ”
The gentleman sneered slightly: "If you get the Witch God Treasure, you can resist the Golden Crow True Flame, and getting it is equivalent to getting the gold medal of avoiding death without falling into the city, who doesn't want it." ”
"What do you think?" said Don Buluo, looking at the gentleman.
The gentleman smiled and said, "I don't rule out all possibilities." ”
Tang Buluo thought for a while and said, "Shangguan Jinhong is a very cunning thing, and this matter really can't be easily decided. In this way, our soldiers are divided into two routes, Zigui, you are responsible for investigating Gu Guanlan, to see if the Witch God Treasure is on him, if it is on him, kill him and retrieve the treasure book, if it is just a rumor, you will bring him to Feipeng Castle. ”
The young man said, "You want to go to Feipeng Castle?"
Tang Buluo stood up, "Whether Gong Wanlin is in Feipeng Fort or not, I have to personally confirm this matter." ”
......
Gu Guanlan, or Yan Li, had already put on a thousand silk noodles at this moment, changed into a suit, and walked out of the inn with a swagger.
Since Yan Li is wanted by the Dragon Emperor Mansion, then act with the identity of Gu Guanlan, although it is a little unpleasant to be said by the shopkeeper Wen, but it can reduce a lot of trouble. In order to hide people's eyes, he also deliberately bought an ordinary long sword to carry on his back, which seemed to be no different from an ordinary cultivator.
Like ordinary cultivators, he bought a few steamed buns and walked towards the port while nibbling on them. He had inquired last night, and in half an hour, a merchant ship bound for Jinyang was about to set sail.
If it's only two days, you can still endure it, and you can't see the water in the cabin anyway.
Time is in a hurry, and the food can only be picked up for simple preparations, but a lot of clothes have been prepared, all packed in Qiankun bags, which is very convenient, otherwise it will be a burden to carry a large package.
Just when he was about to leave the city, two Taoist priests, one big and one small, came over.
Yan Li looked at it, wasn't it the pair of liars, he was funny in his heart, and he didn't bother to bother with him.
Sure enough, the man didn't recognize him at all, and he didn't even pay attention to his shabby clothes.
Suddenly, he noticed the man stop.
For some reason, he was very concerned about the man's movements, and as soon as the other person stopped, he turned his head to look.
The Taoist suddenly grabbed the little girl and ran to the side of the narrow alley, which seemed to be running for her life.
It didn't take long for a blonde woman to appear in the crowd.
Yan Li turned his gaze, and sure enough, more than ten steps behind, a monk was far away.
"What are you looking for, looking for death?"
The woman suddenly glared at Yan Li viciously, and said in a half-baked common language, "Bitter Daoist, have you seen it?"
