There is no way to verify the specific date of the formation of Fangyuan City, and it has existed since the moment Tiandu was built. There is even a saying that Fangyuan City is the former site of Tiandu, because there is evil spirit in Fangyuan City, so the center of Daming has moved to its current location, and Daming has also flourished with the relocation of the capital.

However, speaking of which, Fangyuan City, which is half immersed in the lake and half of the mountain, does have a bit of a bad spirit, even if it is the period of Emperor Wu's existence.

Where practitioners gather, it is difficult to have a standard that restricts people's behavior, except for the rules that have been formed for thousands of years, almost everyone acquiesces and abides by them. Even so, there are always people who want to break these rules. This is where the literati are hostile to the practitioners, who possess abilities that are not commensurate with their moral character.

In recent years, Fangyuan City has not been very peaceful, but no one has blatantly broken the rules here.

The Desire Immortal Pavilion is a place that is more mixed than a mixture of fish and dragons. The labyrinth of wooden walls, tattered and new, the smoke mixed with all kinds of smells, the random stacks of objects, and even the bones of some people, all kinds of people, as if they were bursting with thick ink and color.

"Brother Fei, look at this little girl, she is very coquettish!" A lean monkey-like man lay on the crack in the wall and peeked at the people in the room.

"What do you see, there's a knife on the head of the color character! We're professional killers, and you're going to do this for me every day?" Fei Ge, who had two thick beards, pressed the lean guy's neck, twisted it aside, and then leaned over himself. "Oh, I'll go, this little girl is really hey!

"Let me see it too!" a short, fat pig man squeezed in.

"Get out! I don't have any professionalism at all! I forgot about the knife on my head just said?" Fei Ge stood up and scolded angrily. "What are we here for? We are here to kill! Can we kill people all day long? How many times have we said it, we are a team! Five fingers, do we have strength? No! We only have strength if we clench our fists!"

"Brother Fei, you only have four fingers, and we are just human ......"

"It's just your eyes, it's your eyes, can I not know, can I not know?"

"Don't fight, don't fight, Feige, Feigo......"

Fei Ge straightened his clothes and said solemnly: "This is a big deal, we must be a hit and become a terrifying killer!

"Brother Fei, you've said this three thousand six hundred times. ”

"Just talk a lot! Just talk a lot! Go inquire, get ready, write a fucking plan! I don't care what tricks you use, whether it's killing people or setting fires, you have to find out this person for me! Fuck it!" Fei Ge knocked the two out, snorted angrily, and put his eyes on the crack in the wall again.

"Hey——! this kid is too decrepit, it's over so soon? If this happens to me, it won't take three days and three nights?"

——

Hu Ran was angry.

Ning Du didn't want to deal with the other party, so he let the other party get angry. Anyway, you still have to eat the meal, and you have to learn according to it.

"How is Mr. Yu Tao doing now?"

Hu Ran ate with his head bored and didn't say a word.

"If you're willing to tell me, we won't go to the Ivy Garden today. Ning Dufu said softly.

Hu Ran was overjoyed when he heard this, but he also pouted and said, "Young Master, you have spoken too many times, and I have lost my credibility." ”

"Today we did what we said we would. ”

"Where are you going if you don't go to Qingteng Garden?" Hu Ran asked further.

"You've learned how to make inches!"

"If you don't go to 'Confucius Street', I won't tell you!" Hu Ran held his head high, looking stubborn.

"Then let's go. ”

"Really?"

"Really. ”

Hu Ran's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Mr. Yu Tao learned much faster than me, Mr. Wu Yue asked him to go out to travel, but Mr. Yu Tao kept dragging and refused to leave." Yesterday, Mr. Wu Yue got angry and asked Mr. Yu Tao to leave, and if he didn't leave, he would be beaten out. Mr. Yu Tao had to pack his luggage, and he should leave in two days. ”

"Where are you going?"

"I said I was going to the Black Iron City in the west. ”

"Black Iron City?" With Ning Du's experience, he really didn't know this place.

"Young Master, don't you know the Black Iron City?" Hu Ran suddenly became interested and said endlessly. "There was no Black Iron City before, only Black Iron Mountain. There is a vein master who conquers the heavens and the earth, and it took ten years to cast a whole mountain into a city, drawing the power of earth fire and heavenly thunder to create 1,800 furnaces, which are specially used by vein masters to cast magic weapons, which is the holy land of vein masters, even Mr. Wu Yue admires it. ”

"That's magical. "Ning Du has seen the vastness of cultivation in the Forgetful Pavilion these days, and he feels more and more that he is a frog at the bottom of the well.

"Of course, there's nothing we can't do!" Hu Ran said with an oath. Although she can only carve the Spring Breeze Sword now, it does not prevent her from claiming to be a vein master.

"Then the day after tomorrow, we will see off Mr. Yu Tao. ”

"Alas, Yu Tao is also leaving. The fat man has been gone for more than two months. Speaking of this, Hu Ran was a little depressed. Without Pang Jiushan with her, she lacked too many good things to eat.

Pang Jiushan left Tiandu in style after visiting the fireworks lane with Ning Du that time. Ning Du didn't realize it at first, but after a long time, he was a little stunned, but fortunately, Pang Jiushan would write to him everywhere he went.

"After a while, we'll go out and travel. ”

"Where are you going?"

"Where in the world can't I go?" Ning Du asked rhetorically, raising his eyebrows.

"Huh!" Hu Ran sneered. "Forget to return to the pavilion with so many books, how can you finish reading them in a while, young master? I have heard Sima Jiaoxi say, if you can't finish reading these books, you won't be released from the Qingteng Garden. ”

"Yo he, don't worry about yourself, worry about me? Bian Jiao Xi has memorized all the half-person tall books that Bian Jiao Xi asked you to memorize? Have you remembered all the one hundred and eight kinds of veins that Mr. Wu Yue asked you to remember? Still talking about me here?"

"Young master, you're so annoying!" Hu Ran glared at Ning Du, and suddenly lost the mood to eat.

Ning Du smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go to Confucius Street today, lest you always say that I lied to you." ”

"Let's go, let's go, it's a puppy to deceive people!"

Going out from Gualiu Hutong, after three streets, you will arrive at Confucius Street. Hu Ran is like a fish that has been thirsty for more than half a year can see the river, and it will drown in it with a swish.

As the most famous one-day food street in Tiandu, Confucius Street is a booming business in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Especially in the winter, people who are idle are more willing to come and visit to satisfy their appetites.

Ning Du walked behind and was responsible for paying, occasionally laughing at Hu Ran twice.

In fact, Ning Du was not in the mood to go shopping, the reason why he came was because Hu Ran was too annoyed in the past two days, so he took her out to relax, and secondly, because he also needed to come out to see more, and it may not be a good thing to be in the book for too long.

"Wow, young master, this quicksand egg yolk bun is delicious! ”

"Eat, eat, eat. Ning Du casually picked up a quicksand egg yolk bag, put it in his mouth and chewed it, the hot sugar water in it flowed out, and he immediately spit it out.

"Hahahaha, young master, don't you know it's hot?" Hu Ran laughed.

In fact, Ning Du can completely use his vitality to form a layer of protection, and he will definitely not burn himself. But he knew better that Yuan Qi should not be used in this way, just as a murderous sword should not be used to cut cabbage. In life, very few practitioners will use their vitality.

On a cold day, Ning Du fanned the wind with his hand for a while, and his tongue eased up.

"Show me, young master, is it burned?" Hu Ran was anxious, but he still couldn't help laughing.

"Don't eat, go to the next one. Ning Du said indignantly, ignoring Hu Ran, and continued to walk forward.

"Hey, hey, let's go, let's go!" The man holding a cage of buns passed through the crowd and inadvertently bumped into Ning Du.

Ning Du's gaze was slightly cold.

"Wait for me, young master!" Hu Ran chased after him with a bag of quicksand egg yolk bags.

Ning Du didn't look at the person who hit him, held Hu Ran's hand, and said, "Let's go." ”

"What's the matter, young master?"

"I remember the fat man said that there was a shop in front of me that sold a kind of marshmallow made into flowers. ”

"Really?"

"Hmm. ”

Ning Du took Hu Ran and quickly squeezed through the crowd.

From the moment he entered Confucius Street, Ning Du had noticed the vitality that others had left on him, and after the person who was holding the bun cage hit him just now, he was even more sure that someone had left a mark on his body. The feeling of nothingness is as if I have become the prey of being targeted to death.

Perhaps it was Ning Dudu who didn't expect the other party to dare to do it on the lively street, so the other party chose to do it on the lively street.

After the duel between Li Xiu, Ning Du occasionally learned that there was Nanxing in the audience that day, and he was surprised, he was very sure that the other party had discovered his identity, and such a huge hidden danger could wipe him out quietly at any time. Not only Nanxing, I'm afraid that this news may have been known by more people, which will bring him endless crises. So he had been on the lookout all the time, but he still didn't expect to come now.

The noisy and crowded Confucius Street, as if nothing had changed, the stalls were beckoning hard, passers-by were looking left and right, people eating were talking and laughing with the people next to them, and old copper coins were constantly being exchanged in people's hands.

The fresh river prawns are put into the pan, the freshly opened pastries are steaming, and the sugar-coated buds make a popping sound in the pan......

Ning Du suddenly stopped in the crowd and looked up at the sky.

The sky was completely clean and there seemed to be nothing, except for a few birds flying by, and no one could notice their shadows slightly folding.

"Hu Ran. ”

"Huh?"

"Watch me play a trick on you. ”
