1.

The capital, the Forbidden City, the ruins of the old country.

Jingshan is located in the Dongcheng District of the Forbidden City, towering and steep, lush trees, magnificent scenery, in the history of China originally for the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties of the royal garden, has now been transformed into a cultural park, is the entire Forbidden City ascending high and overlooking, the best place to view the scenery of the whole city, has become a beautiful scenery on the central axis of the capital.

Jingshan was not originally called "Jingshan", in the Yuan Dynasty, this place was just a small hill, called "Qingshan". Later, Ming Chengzu led the people to move the capital to the north and built the Forbidden City, where coal was piled up, so it has the name of "coal mountain".

During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court ordered the construction of a city canal around the Forbidden City, and the soil after digging the moat was transported to Jingshan, where it was piled up day by day, and finally built into a tall earth mountain, called "Long Live Mountain", and because it was a barrier in the north of the palace, the feng shui magician called it the "town mountain" of the Great Interior. Flowers and plants, fruit trees are planted all over the mountain, elk, white cranes and other things are raised, and emperors often come here to enjoy flowers, practice arrows, hunt, drink and feast or climb the mountain to view the scenery.

It was not until the twelfth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty that this place was officially renamed "Jingshan", and the meaning of this name has three meanings: the first is the meaning of "tall", there is a sentence in "The Book of Songs, Yin Wu" has the sentence of "Jingshan Mountain, Songbai Pill Pill", which says that there is a tall mountain in the capital of the Shang Dynasty thousands of years ago named "Jingshan"; secondly, because this is the place where the emperors and queens "have the imperial view"; finally, the word "Jing" has the meaning of admiration. From then on, this place was called "Jingshan".

"It is worthy of being praised by everyone in the alleys of the old city. Ling Ying listened to Shi Lin tell the history of Jingshan, and couldn't help but praise, "This knowledge is indeed very extensive. ”

Shi Lin arched his hand and said with a smile: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, 'Bai Xiaosheng' or something is all nonsense among neighbors, it's just a false name, how dare you show it off in front of the two immortals." As for these things in 'Jingshan', you go to find those uncles who live in the courtyard in the alley, and they can't talk about it one by one than me!"

After finding out the news of the attack on the black screen gate that day, Lin Xiao and his party made a plan, Lin Xiao and Changfeng stayed in the courtyard of the Dengcao Hutong and waited for the cold river to take the bait, while Shi Lin took Ling Ying and Ye Wuxin to Jingshan to find the seven-hearted begonia that was transplanted there by Shi Zhuoyuan back then.

Ye Wuxin didn't speak quietly all the way, until Shi Lin said that Jingshan has now been transformed into a cultural park, and suddenly said: "Back then, your grandfather planted the Seven Heart Begonias on Jingshan because of the reason why Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself there, preventing the Fusang people from going up the mountain to steal flowers. Now that the Jingshan area has been transformed into a park by the government, everyone can go there, and how can you guarantee that the flower is still in the same place today?"

Shi Lin smiled and said, "I said that my great-ancestor Shi Guoyi left behind not only the Seven Heart Begonias, but also the ancestral Taoist secrets. My grandfather has been studying the book since he quit his job at the Forbidden City Museum, and over the years he has more or less learned some of the way. At that time, when I was enlightened, I went to Jingshan to ban the Seven Heart Begonias, although it was not high-end, but it was more than enough to cover the ears and eyes of those mortals. ”

While speaking, the three of them had already arrived outside the east gate of Jingshan. Jingshan Park has four entrances: East Gate, East Street, West Banqiao and Forbidden City Entrance, and is open from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day. It was already past ten o'clock when Ye Wuxin and his party set off, plus they came on foot all the way, and it was close to midnight when they arrived here, and the gate of the park had already closed. Shi Lin took Ye Wuxin and Ling Ying around the east gate, and finally stopped by a high wall.

"Come in. Shi Lin waved behind him, and as he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled it towards the wall.

Ye Wuxin's eyebrows suddenly twitched: "What are you...... Do you want us to climb over the wall?!" There was a chill in her words, and even Ling Ying beside her couldn't help but shudder.

"Otherwise?" Shi Lin was still happily jumping and climbing on the wall, not feeling the murderous intent emanating from Ye Wuxin's body at all, "At this time period, even if you want to buy a ticket, the doorman won't let you in!"

Shi Lin said as he stretched out his hand to the wall with great effort. To enter Jingshan Park, you need to buy a ticket, and a person like him who is so poor that he can't wait to break a dollar into two yuan to spend, how can he be willing to spend two yuan to buy that adult ticket; he doesn't dare to go in and out at will, for fear that being seen will cause unnecessary trouble, so he has to choose the undignified way of "climbing the wall". It's just that he hasn't been here for a long time, and this wall seems to have been raised a lot, so he pulled it for a long time today, and the tips of his fingers are still a little distance from the head of the wall.

And in the next moment, Shi Lin suddenly felt a tightness in his back collar, and then the whole person left the wall and rose into the air, swept lightly from the top of the wall, and then fell to the ground silently. Shi Lin endured with all his strength, so he didn't shout, so that when he landed, his legs were weak, and the whole person was almost planted on the ground. I saw Ye Wuxin let go of his crumpled collar expressionlessly, and then dusted his sleeves coldly, without saying a word, as if everything just now was not done by her.

Shi Lin didn't speak for a long time, and looked at Ling Ying, who was also fluttering in, and suddenly felt tired: it was superfluous to dare to be cautious along the way, and these two great gods didn't take the modern public security management regulations of this triple building in their eyes at all.

After sitting on the ground for a while, Shi Lin got up and continued to walk forward with Ye Wuxin and Ling Ying. At that time, Zhuo Yuan planted the seven heart begonias at the east foot of Jingshan, which was also the place where the late Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen hanged himself. In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, led the rebel army into the Forbidden City, Zhu Youzhen saw that the general trend had gone, so he forced the queen to death, slashed Princess Zhaoren, and then fled to Jingshan in a hurry, and hung himself under the hunchbacked old locust tree with his hair covering his face, accompanied by the imperial eunuch Wang Chengen, and the Ming Dynasty perished.

The old locust tree that hanged Emperor Chongzhen has long since died and been cut down, and the existing locust tree is replanted by later generations, and according to Shi Lin - the seven-hearted begonia is planted next to the new locust tree, which is guarded by the ban laid by Shi Zhuoyuan.

Halfway along the mountain climbing road, when they reached the middle peak of the "Five Pavilions on the Ridge", "Wanchun Pavilion", Ye Wuxin and Ling Ying suddenly stopped moving forward together. Shi Lin was walking by himself, and suddenly he couldn't hear the footsteps behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that both of them had stopped, and they were looking around there without knowing what they were looking at, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why don't you leave?"

Ye Wuxin didn't answer, but a silver light flashed in his hand, and he had already held the Huangquan Sword into his hand, and Lin couldn't help but tremble when he saw it.

Ling Ying answered his question: "There are people nearby!"

"Who is it?" Shi Lin suddenly lightened his breath, "The patrolling security guards?"

Ling Ying twisted a magic trick in his hand, and the "Heaven and Earth Net Technique" was quietly released, and he said, "No, these people all have spiritual power fluctuations on their bodies—they are cultivators from the Quadruple Building!"

Shi Lin was puzzled: "Could it be that the people from the Black Gauze Gate didn't go to find Lin Xiao, but came here to set up an ambush and wait for us to take the bait?!"

"No way. Ling Ying said, "With a bait as big as Lin Xiao there, there is no reason why the people in the black screen door should not move at all." The ambush here should be another group of people. ”

Shi Lin had already seen the scene of the immortal fight between the cultivators of the Quadruple Building, and when he heard that the group of people who were ambushed here were all from the Quadruple Building, he was immediately frightened and panicked, and said, "That's ...... That should be ...... by now What should I do?"

Ye Wuxin looked light-hearted, just silently stretched out his hand to brush Huang Quan's sharp blade, and then said lightly: "Don't care, just kill them all!" Now that Lin Xiao is not around, Ye Wuxin has no worries, naturally how to come easily, where will he care how many people fall under his sword.

Shi Lin only felt that he was almost freezing, and was frozen by the chill emanating from Ye Wuxin's body: "Hey...... Hey, how did you manage to say such a heart-wrenching thing without any emotion?!"

"It's really not appropriate. Ling Ying also objected, "Do you want the headline on the front page of the newspaper tomorrow to be 'A group of headless corpses have appeared in Jingshan Park?! ”

Ye Wuxin simply threw the question to him: "Then what do you say to do now?"

Ling Ying stretched out his hand and flickered, the jade flute Feixue was already in his hand, and then put the magic trick in his hand, and a faint ripple was released by him at his fingertips, which seemed to attach a layer of overlapping shadows to the surrounding landscape, but when he looked closely, he couldn't see any clues.

"You go with Shi Lin to the destination to pick up flowers, just leave it to me here. Ling Ying said.

Ye Wuxin knew that he had just laid down the "Miluo Fantasy Realm" to protect the surrounding environment, and he was obviously ready to do it. She still had some confidence in Ling Ying's skills, so she put her heart down, followed Shi Lin out of here, and continued to move in the direction of the eastern foothills.

Ling Ying watched the figures of Ye Wuxin and Shi Lin disappear into the night of Zhongfeng, and then said unhurriedly: "If you don't come out yet, when are you going to hide?

As soon as the words fell, the darkness in the dark night suddenly seemed to be torn apart, and the next moment, a group of people had already surrounded Ling Ying in the center, and the sharp knives and long swords in their hands pointed at the various acupuncture points and vital points around him.

The crowd parted, and a bearded man in a black robe walked out, his face was fair, his body was thin, he had a harmless smile on his face, and he looked like an elegant man with a folding fan in his hand.

The corners of Ling Ying's lips hooked, revealing a sneer: "Who else has such a great ability in this seat, it turns out to be the master of the Xu Pavilion." ”

The bearded man bowed his hand, and the etiquette was in place: "Lingxu Pavilion Xu Xingzhou see the immortal head." ”

"These polite words are exempt - since you know that this seat is still the head of the Immortal, and you are making such a big formation here, is Pavilion Lord Xu trying to take my position?!" Ling Ying said with a frosty face, his tone was flat and unfluctuating, but with a cold majesty, the usual harmony had disappeared at this time.

Xu Xingzhou still maintained that respectful appearance, and said in a flat tone: "Immortal Head, you are serious, the contemptible person is just a small pavilion master, and he was lucky enough to occupy a vacant seat in the 'Ten Thousand Immortals Conference', how dare he have such rebellious thoughts!"

Ling Ying snorted coldly: "If you don't have this kind of thought, that's naturally the best." I still have important things to do today, and I don't want to waste time here, so let your people get out of the way and don't get in the way. ”

Ling Ying took a step forward, the true qi around his body condensed, and the coercion was naturally released, thinking that by doing so, he would oppress those outside the encirclement and force them to get out of the way. Unexpectedly, Xu Xingzhou also took a step forward, just in front of him, only to see his body shake, and the internal force condensed and erupted, forcibly stopping the coercion released by Ling Ying.

"I'm sorry, Immortal Head!" Xu Xingzhou's cultivation was still inferior to Ling Ying in the end, and he forcibly gathered his strength to stop his coercion, and he felt as if his chest had been hit by a sledgehammer, and his face was pale for a while, and a bloodshot had overflowed from the corner of his mouth. "Even if you are charged with the following crimes today, Xu will definitely not let you pass. ”

Ling Ying shouted: "Xu Xingzhou, my Purple Sun Divine Sect has never had the slightest holiday with your Ling Xuan Pavilion, what do you mean by stopping me like this today?!"

"I don't know what happened to the immortal head here, but there is one thing I still know - what the immortal head did must be related to the one in the Ethereal City. Xu Xingzhou said unhurriedly.

Ling Ying's hand holding the pipe suddenly tightened: "I also said, how did you come to this triple building, it turns out that in the final analysis, it is still for Lin Xiao!"

Xu Xingzhou said: "Since ancient times, all walks of life in heaven and earth have been one, if it weren't for the sword demon leading the undertaker against the sky and forcibly opening the 'Ninety-Five Array' at the top of the Western Heaven, it would not have created such a seven-story building separated by layers. Originally, I thought that the sword demon had fallen, and this matter was settled, but since he had made a comeback, as a member of the Xianmen, he should naturally take action to eradicate it in order to prevent future troubles. ”

"Then if I am also on Lin Xiao's side, do you also want to get rid of me as soon as possible!" Ling Ying snorted coldly, and the Ziyang True Qi on his body agitated.

Xu Xingzhou arched his hand and said: "Xu knows that Lin Xiao and Immortal Head used to be brothers in the same sect, and the friendship is naturally extraordinary; I don't dare to use swords against the Immortal Head, but I also ask the Immortal Head not to stop our actions!"

Ling Ying danced in the snow, the jade flute was in his hand, and he shook in the wind: "Lin Xiao's matter, this seat is still in charge!

"Since that's the case, then you can only ...... Offended!" Xu Xingzhou said as he withdrew from the encirclement in a vertical manner, and at the same time waved his hand and said, "Do it!"

When Ling Ying was talking to Xu Xingzhou just now, he was afraid that the other party would suddenly break out, so he focused his attention on the Ling Xuan Pavilion Master. At this moment, Xu Xingzhou dodged and withdrew from the encirclement, and the people around him immediately gathered their formations, Ling Ying raised his eyes and looked around, only to find that everyone was on the ground with their blades, and they were secretly twisting a Dao Gate technique in their hands, and a formation seal had already taken shape under their feet.

Ling Ying looked at the formation seal under his feet, and frowned slightly: "This formation...... Is it the 'Dragon Prison Well'? It's a bit tricky!"
