The sixth round (below) the early autumn rain camped in the middle of the moon, and the full moon finally arrived at the foot of the scorching sun

Flowing Wind Snow said in an uncertain tone: "Babel Tower, the legendary Ninth Blessed Land, the supreme holy land above the six holy lands, no one knows where Babel Tower is located......

Nalan Zuochen continued: "Every hundred years or so, the Tower of Babel will manifest like a mirage in an uncertain location in the Covered Rain Continent, and the Angel will set up a bureau to select the contemporary peerless geniuses of the Covered Rain Continent to go to the Tower of Babel to practice the Immortal Dao. Every time the Tower of Babel appears, it will set off a bloody storm on the mainland. The last time the Tower of Babel was in existence......"

Nalan Zuochen had a complicated look of memory in his eyes and muttered, "It's been more than eighty years ago. ”

Nalan Zuochen stretched out his right hand, shook the spatial wristband on his wrist and continued: "The most likely guess about the true location of the Tower of Babel is that with some kind of ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, the entire Tower of Babel is hidden in a certain void. If the guess is true, the void must be very stable and filled with the spiritual power of heaven and earth, allowing the monk to survive...... I can't imagine what a miracle it was......"

Shi Nianyuan was shocked, and an inspiration flashed in his heart, but it was fleeting and he couldn't grasp it.

Mutter......

An untimely voice sounded, and the flowing wind and snow were stunned for a moment, and Shi Nianyuan squinted at it teasingly.

"What do you see! After a day of traveling, isn't this woman hungry?" Flowing Fengxue's face turned crimson, glared at Shi Nianyuan fiercely, and then shook Nalan Zuochen's arm and said coquettishly: "Grandpa Nalan, don't patronize the moon, hurry up and get dry food to eat——"

Shi Nianyuan's pupils shrank suddenly, and when he heard the words of the flowing wind and snow, the inspiration lingered in his mind again, blurry and hazy, as if there was only a layer of window paper.

Shi Nianyuan stared at Liufeng Xue with burning eyes, and put his hands on Liufeng Xue's shoulders excitedly: "Miss, what did you just say?"

"I'm not talking to you, if I don't take your dog paws away, this woman will ...... Just ......" Liu Fengxue glared angrily and spoke fiercely, but halfway through his words, he saw Shi Nianyuan's eyes clear and bright, and he changed his words in a daze: "I said...... Pick up dry food and eat ......"

Mutter......

Liufeng Xue's belly once again protested, causing the eldest lady's face to be hot and red.

"The previous sentence, the previous sentence!" Liu Fengxue wondered, and said impatiently while recalling: "Don't patronize the moon ......"

The eldest young master of Wuhou Mansion was inexplicably excited, and habitually did the same thing he did to Zhu Xianlan, Li Cripple or Mao Caishen when he encountered something happy in the mansion, and kissed him on the cheek of the flowing wind and snow.

"Hey, hey......" Shi Nianyuan chuckled.

Moon, Moon!

Finally grasping that inspiration, Shi Nianyuan was in a good mood, raised his head and looked at the huge Xuandu of the sky, gravity caused the space to warp, and the Tower of Babel ...... Tongtian ...... Hey, hey, hey......

"Hahaha-" Shi Nianyuan stood up and laughed proudly.

It is very likely, Lao Tzu is really a genius, and the science and engineering man has the truth of the world!

However, Shi Nianyuan's dissolute demonic laughter, and after such a presumptuous and abrupt action, it was really a different taste to listen to in the ears of others.

"Ahh

A scream of anger pierced the night sky, startling a group of night owls whining on the surrounding branches, followed by an extremely loud slap and a heart-rending howl.

The old Taoist priest's eyes were calm, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that the corners of the old cow's nose and mouth are curled, his eyebrows are slightly shaking, and he can't bear to smile very hard.

Nalan Zuochen's tiger eyes widened, the famous sword wind mark broke out of the box, the strong man held the wind mark, and the sword pointed directly at Shi Nianyuan: "Dog's obscene boy, the old man killed you with a sword!"

Liu Fengshuang was dumbfounded, and even the little fox who was held in his arms was dumbfounded, Mu Zitao's eyes almost popped out of his sockets, and he couldn't help but stretch out his thumb.

Shi Nianyuan was directly slapped by the wind and snow and fell to his back, rolled the ground twice, and finally regained his balance in a dizzy, and sat up with his hands on the ground.

Flowing Wind and Snow pulled out the saber at his waist and approached with murderous strides.

Shi Nianyuan half stood up, and when his gaze refocused, he was swept into the eyes by the sharp edge of the Flowing Wind and Snow Sabre. Shi Nianyuan twisted his head cautiously, and the tip of the sharp sword trembled slightly less than three inches from his forehead.

Xuandu Xuanzhu was bright and clean, and on the face of the sword-wielding girl, a few drops of residual saliva were particularly obvious and abrupt under the moonlight, and the chest of the girl with angry hair rose and fell violently, and in Shi Nianyuan's bottom-up sight, the eldest lady's slim jade legs were more dazzling than the edge of the sword.

Grunt......

Shi Nianyuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and tried to explain: "Big ...... Miss...... Not what you think...... If you really feel that you are at a loss, I will let you come back in person......"

Phew-

After all, the wind and snow did not stab forward with a sword, and raised a foot to greet Shi Nianyuan at the door, Shi Nianyuan didn't dare to dodge at all, and was ready to take a hard beating.

I don't know whether to say that it is Shi Nianyuan's luck or the misfortune of the snowstorm, the angry eldest lady kicked halfway, the stone swayed under her feet, and the eldest lady's center of gravity was unstable and fell to the side.

"Don't worry, big lady!

Shi Nianyuan only felt that life was really ups and downs, and it was definitely good deeds and good deeds to accumulate virtue on weekdays, and good deeds would be rewarded, and he was worried about how to explain and remedy, and God sent a hero an opportunity to save beauty.

Shi Nianyuan predicted the position where the drifting wind and snow fell to the ground and crawled with him: "I'm a meat pad thief......!

A wail that was even more tragic than not long ago came out of Shi Nianyuan's mouth, and then stopped abruptly in an instant.

Liufeng Xue was holding a saber, and when he fell down, he didn't care about it at all, but unexpectedly, the saber stabbed into Shi Nianyuan's arm under him, and Shi Nianyuan's posture deviated from the plan under the severe pain. So when the eldest lady fell on the stone meat pad, the two faced each other, and the two pairs of equally desperate eyes looked at each other in amazement, and bumped into each other.

As for the reason for blocking Shi Nianyuan's wailing......

Not...... This girl's lips ...... It's so soft...... But...... For Mao's first kiss in his life, he handed it over without explanation......

The little mouth of the Flowing Wind Frost Cherry opened and almost dislocated, and the hand involuntarily exerted force, holding the little fox in her arms painfully, and snorting.

Before Mu Zitao had time to pick up the chin that had fallen to the ground, he felt the cold and piercing murderous aura exuding from the Nalan Immortal Chief beside him, Mu Zitao's Adam's apple moved up and down, and he looked at the hideous sword in the hand of the Nalan Immortal Chief with a weak heart, and silently prayed for Shi Gongzi.

The old Taoist priest finally couldn't bear it anymore, stroked his beard and looked at Shi Nianyuan and the flowing wind and snow, his sideburns trembled and smiled happily: "It's amazing, sure enough, it's the back waves of the Yangtze River that push the front waves, one wave is more than a wave, hahaha——"

"Zhao Daochang, remember that this poem seems to be stronger than a wave. Mu Zitao corrected boldly.

The old Taoist priest doesn't remember how many years he hasn't been so happy, hearing Mu Zitao's words, the old Taoist priest struggled to restrain his expression, and explained seriously: "Mu Zi Xiaoju doesn't know, this is an extended expression, the latter 'wave' word in the poem, is the use of nouns as adverbials, describing the waves of courage and fierceness, turbulent and strong, compared with the word 'strong', undoubtedly better in artistic conception." ”

Mu Zitao nodded dumbfounded, and took out a pen and paper to record as if he was very taught.

"Do you say yes, Nalan Jushi?" the old Taoist priest teased and looked at Nalan Zuochen, Nalan Zuochen's forehead trembled, and the sentence "old cow's nose" was blocked in his throat and he didn't dare to speak.

......

In addition to the common dry food necessary for the detention and travel, there are also some Tonghe County special food, and the shy young man generously took it out to share with everyone.

Liu Fengxue buried his head and took a bite of Tonghe County's characteristic hemp cake, holding a dead branch and poking the mud in front of him, Shi Nianyuan sat between Mu Zitao and the old Taoist, drooling and shrinking his head and watching everyone eat, very regretting that he did not replenish because Liu Fengxue had said that he did not have to worry about the problem of dry food.

Mu Zitao quietly stretched out his hand from behind him and handed Shi Nianyuan a piece of osmanthus cake, but unexpectedly, with a "horn", the wooden branch in Liufengxue's hand was poked off, and a pair of murderous eyes glared at the two, Shi Nianyuan and Mu Zitao's hearts jumped at the same time.

"I ...... I'm going to catch a fish......" Shi Nianyuan stood up with a weak heart and walked towards the nameless river, Mu Zitao maintained the movement of the back of one hand, looked at the snow-white little fox lying on the side with a weak heart, and took advantage of the situation to hold the osmanthus cake to the little fox's mouth, but the little fox did not give Mu Zitao face, got up and followed Shi Nianyuan away.

......

The foothills of the Lieyang Mountain are located in the northwest of Shaxi County of the Minglei Empire, but they are not subject to the Mingguo Empire, as the sacred land of the immortal Dao inheritance, the Lieyang Foothills are independent of the thirty-six counties of Kyushu of the Minglei Empire, and the foothills of the Lieyang Mountain do not intervene in the affairs of the empire except for arranging the Lieyang envoys to give lectures and preach in various parts of the mainland and replenish fresh blood for the holy land.

After Shi Nianyuan and his entourage crossed the Cutting Cloud Trail to reach the Sword Pavilion of Shaxi County Military Town, they followed the mountain and forest trail from the Sword Pavilion all the way north to the Duhan City of Shaxi County.

In Hanlu City, Shi Nianyuan bought four yellow-maned horses and two carriages, and then drove along the post road of Shaxi County to the northwest of Shaxi County.

Mu Zitao was very shocked by Shi Nianyuan and Nalan Zuochen's indifferent tone and expression when they were talking about buying chariots and horses, and even more shocked that Nalan Zuochen turned around and left directly when checking out, leaving Shi Nianyuan scolding, taking out an empty silver ticket from his bag, writing the number, stamping the seal, signing the name, and handing it over to the owner of the carriage and horse shop.

Mu Zitao watched in surprise, and felt that the owner of the carriage and horse shop definitely did not recognize this silver ticket that was obviously not the official of the empire, nor was it a silver ticket of several private giants. However, the owner of the carriage shop carefully checked the special material of the silver ticket, repeatedly inspected the big seal of the money on the silver ticket, and finally determined that the silver ticket was genuine, and his eyes lit up into his chest, and he nodded and bowed step by step, "Childe walks slowly" and "often comes in the future", and sent Shi Nianyuan out of the shop.

Mu Zitao humbly asked for advice afterwards, and Shi Nianyuan explained it like this: "It is the silver ticket of Cangyun County Jianshang Qianzhuang, and in order to establish credibility in the past two years, Jianshang Qianzhuang has given many benefits to merchants when developing business in the surrounding counties of Cangyun, such as when this silver ticket is exchanged for silver, Jianshang Qianzhuang will pay commercial tax according to a certain proportion." ”

On the way to the northwest along the official post of Shaxi County, time passed in a hurry, Nalan Zuochen drove a carriage carrying the Snow and Frost Sisters, and Shi Nianyuan drove a carriage carrying the old Taoist priest and Mu Zitao.

In the first few days, whenever the carriage traveled to the smooth road, Mu Zitao was curious to ask Shi Nianyuan how to drive the carriage, thinking that it was because Mu Zitao had rich experience in farming cattle in his hometown in the countryside, and he was able to bypass the class, only after Shi Nianyuan's teaching and guidance a few times, Mu Zitao basically mastered the driving skills, Shi Nianyuan was happy to be idle, and he was at ease and boldly threw the coachman's work to Mu Zitao, not only to avoid the sun and rain, but also to brag and fart with the old Taoist priest in the carriage, and ask for practice.

It has been a month and a half since the departure of Liuye, and Shi Nianyuan's evaluation of the two sisters has been raised, originally thought to be two delicate flowers in the greenhouse, but along the way, the two sisters with almost the same appearance and extremely different personalities have shown strong self-reliance.

On the way, except for the sharp and live in the hotel, she has slept in the mountains and forests many times, and the second daughter has never complained about a star. Every time I camp and sleep, I will hold a basin and change my clothes to find a water source to wash and dry, and I am unexpectedly skilled in mastering the skills of drinking horse brushes and cutting hooves for iron.

Shi Nianyuan often saw the two sisters calmly applying ointment to the mosquito bites on their bodies when they closed the camp in the early morning.

Shi Nianyuan did not hesitate to praise in his heart, and a sentence worthy of being the pearl of the palm of Earl Liufeng of Xuqian County, the tiger father has no dog daughter.

On the post road, the carriage in front of him slowly stopped, and the wind and frost staggered out of the carriage, walked to the side of the road, held the tree with one hand, covered his forehead with the other, and his face was pale.

In the carriage in the rear, Shi Nianyuan and Mu Zitao sat side by side on the carriage driver's seat/platform, looking at the second lady who was suffering from motion sickness on the side of the road with sympathy.

Shi Nianyuan hugged the little fox who had finally finished the treatment of the recuperation medicine and no longer had to cut his blood and feed it every day, and looked at him with round eyes and smiled: "When you arrive at the foot of the Lieyang Mountain, the first letter is sent home, you must remember to arrange Li Shutu to let Yao Song cooperate with the Grain and Grass Division, and get the motion sickness medicine out as soon as possible, the market must be quite good." Why didn't I expect this stubble before, I started a passenger transport business, but I didn't have a car sickness medicine, and I miscalculated. ”

"Shi Gongzi, who has been together for many days, has always been curious about something, and I want to ask but I am afraid of being rude. Mu Zitao turned his head and said.

"If you have something to say, it's so uncomfortable to hold back. ”

"Shi Gongzi is the son of the official eunuch of Cangyun County?"

Shi Nianyuan replied with a smile: "Yes, this young master is the second generation of the official who stayed in Yecheng in Cangyun County. ”

Mu Zitao chuckled and said: "Shi Gongzi said that he laughed, and he asked this question because he was very grateful and respectful to the Cangyun Mansion. Compared with the surrounding counties, the Cangyun government has shown special concern for the poor people, especially in recent years, and has issued a number of decrees to benefit the people. For example, as Gongzi Fangcai said, the new official passenger transport, the construction of post roads to connect remote villages and towns, the official bus fee is low, so that the poor people who cannot afford to buy cars and horses can also travel by car. Before this trip, I had already seriously thought about it, if I couldn't pass the scorching sun test, after returning to Tonghe, I would go to the political exam and become a parent official who was dedicated to the people. ”

Shi Nianyuan smiled, then patted Mu Zitao on the shoulder and said, "Didn't Nalan Zuochen say that he could get the gift of the Burning Sun Envoy to lead the jade slip, proving that he is talented and intelligent, and he is one in a thousand?" ”

Mu Zitao said shyly: "It's not that I don't have confidence, I just feel that I can do my best and settle the destiny of heaven." It is fortunate to be able to pursue the ethereal immortal path for three lives, but to be able to live a life of ordinary life to the fullest and complete, you can also have no regrets. ”

"Maybe the man who has been guarding the western frontier for many years has similar thoughts to you. Shi Nianyuan's thoughts wandered.

......

The sun rises and the moon sets, and the summer insects are lonely, and the autumn wind is coming.

This night, the Xuan candle finally completely winded out of the back of the Xuandu, the moon wheel tangential, the heavy moon is double round, the bright moon is under the flowers, in front of the mountains, a mountain peak is like a sharp sword straight into the clouds, and the four-character pen on the blade of the sword walks the dragon and snake, revealing a strong sword intent.

The two carriages turned back and forth over the mountain col, Shi Nianyuan stood on the carriage and stared at the sword peak in the distance, staring at the four characters on the sword peak, and in a trance, he seemed to see tens of thousands of peerless Qingfeng covering the sky, roaring and roaring, competing for the bright moon.

- The foothills of the Lieyang Mountains.

End of the sixth round
