Qingzhou City is very lively tonight, the dignitaries and nobles wearing various costumes, and ordinary people are all walking to the side of Beishi, or taking a carriage to go, or setting off in advance to walk here, the bustling crowd occupies several main roads in Qingzhou City. The sound of the hooves of the blue-maned curly horse, the hurried footsteps of the walkers, and the crying of babies are intertwined, and it does not feel noisy at the moment, but has some joy in it.

Shen Wu was a small trader in Qingzhou City, who made a living by selling shoddy pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and most of them were bought by some shabby scholars, so the new year had arrived, and he had not earned much money in this year. Tonight's dinner was really missed by the mother-in-law, saying that his ability to make money is not as good as the old king next door, so he only ate a bowl of rice tonight with a huge amount of food, so he set off in advance without saying a word, and took his young son to Beishi to see the fireworks gift.

Shen Wu's youngest son is only three years old this year, and he can recite some popular poems sporadically and sing a few lines of Qingzhou City tune. At this moment, Shen Wu put his young son on his neck, squeezed in the crowd of people, looked at the woman in novel clothes from time to time, scolded his own yellow-faced woman who didn't know how to lift, and didn't want to think about how hard he usually did outside, and every penny of silver earned was sweaty.

At this time, Fengya Street, not far from the city wall, the crowd is pouring towards the north market, the nobles with the carriage are naturally faster, Shen Wu is also fantasizing about becoming the lord of Qingzhou City, and when the fireworks are celebrated in the New Year's in the future, you can take the carriage without hurrying, and you can also see which girl is handsome along the way, and you can also invite her to take a carriage when you meet someone you like.

At this moment, the young man riding on his shoulder interrupted Shen Wu's fantasy, and at this moment he pointed to the side of the city wall and said, "Grandpa, look at it! Look at it! On the side of the city wall, someone is passing by." ”

When Shen Wu heard that it was the side of the city wall, he couldn't help but smile. The city wall of Qingzhou City is dangerous, about ten zhang high, if you don't go up from the entrance and exit of the state gate, it is difficult for ordinary people to climb. In particular, the city walls of Qingzhou City are made of some blueslate stones, due to the long years, there is a lot of moss on the surface of it, even if it is a cultivator of martial arts rivers and lakes, it is almost more difficult to walk on such a smooth surface than to ascend to the sky.

And tonight's New Year, the state guard of Qingzhou City personally lit a cigarette, since he was assassinated in the outer street of Baiyun Temple, Qingzhou City's hunting was all dispatched, ten steps to one person, one hundred steps and one sentry, to prevent another young person from mixing into the crowd. And there are still a lot of Xinhou staring at it openly and secretly, all of them are good hands above some temples, and they can fight ten with one. If you can still climb the city wall under such a tight array network, you should be a sect master in the martial arts rivers and lakes.

But Shen Wu knew that his young son was young, and although he was not a little more important, he would definitely not lie. But since he said that there were people on the walls, there must have been some reason.

Shen Wu stood still, turned to look at the city wall hundreds of steps apart, lying there darkly, except for a few fires, he could no longer see any light, and naturally he couldn't see any figure clearly. Although there are a few black spots in it, it is motionless at the moment, and it seems to be a large mass of moss.

Could it be that the young son was wrong? Shen Wu asked the young son, "Where did you see the figure, and are you still here?"

The young son pointed to the bulge and said in a milky voice: "It's gone, it seems to be a person, stepping on the wall and leaving." ”

Hearing this, Shen Wu only felt that the young son had seen it wrong, how could anyone walk on the smooth walls and not be discovered by the hunting on the temple. It should be some birds that stayed in the mountains around Qingzhou City, and they were not afraid of the cold at the moment, and when they saw the light on the side of Beishi, they came here to start foraging, but they happened to be seen by their young sons.

Shen Wu smiled and said to the young son: "Haha, you are right, I also saw it, but we have to go to Beishi quickly, otherwise we will not have a good position at that time, and we can only listen to it." ”

......

Qin Chuan came out of the small door of the Tongfu Inn, and was preparing to figure out where to find the carriage to rush to the north, and how to pass through the heavily guarded state gate. Qin Chuan remembered the last time he took a sign from the guards of the state gate to give him a sign to go out of the city, but he didn't know if he could get through the trick tonight.

At this moment, Lao Dao didn't know where to get a night robe and threw it to Qin Chuan, urging him to change it quickly.

Qin Chuan was suspicious on his face, he changed into this clothes before he found the carriage, the carriage that was driving must be full of speculation, and even reported the direction of this trip to the hunt, and there may be constant trouble at that time.

Qin Chuan thought for a while, but still asked: "Old Dao, this carriage hasn't been found yet, let's change into my night clothes now, this is too ostentatious, right? Could it be that you have found someone you know to drive the carriage for us?"

This time, it was the shopkeeper Wu who spoke first, he was directly wearing a black robe at the moment, carrying dry tobacco around his waist, but he was carrying a wine bag in his hand, and before Qin Chuan could speak, the shopkeeper Wu explained: "I want to be beautiful! I also went in a carriage! This Qingzhou City holds a fireworks ceremony tonight, if you go by carriage, you will inevitably be arrested and interrogated, and you will definitely not be able to get out of the city gate." Although we don't take those people seriously, once the traces of this trip are exposed, Qingzhou City will definitely be a mess. Therefore, we can only sneak forward on our own, and see that the hour is not early, and we should set off. ”

Qin Chuan pointed to the wine bag on the waist of Shopkeeper Wu: "Shopkeeper Wu, in my own impression, you seem to have never drunk, why are you still hanging a wine bag today." ”

Shopkeeper Wu smiled: "Sister-in-law Niu's own rice wine has been sealed underground for more than ten years. Tonight I will take you to the mass grave, if you condense the empty mountain and the Danhai, and successfully advance to the realm of synaesthesia, then we will drink together, if you fail, I will drink alone and send you on your last journey. I haven't drunk alcohol in a few years, and tonight is the first of its kind. ”

Qin Chuan was panicked when he heard this, and hurriedly put on the night clothes, and found that the clothes were as wide as the previous robes, Qin Chuan found a few straw ropes to tie them, and barely fit the night clothes, so he opened his legs with difficulty.

"Excuse me, can't you find a clothes that fit? Qin Chuan looked at his full outfit and couldn't help muttering.

Lao Dao got up with a smile and glanced at Qin Chuan: "When you survive, I will order you a dress inlaid with gold and silver." ”

After Lao Dao finished speaking, he nodded to the shopkeeper Wu, and jumped up to the roof of the Tongfu Inn, stepping on the tiles but not making any sound, and then stood in the dark night, waiting for Qin Chuan.

Shopkeeper Wu said beside him: "Slowly infuse the aura of your empty mountain and Danhai into your legs, follow us and walk with us, remember to be a little stiff, don't let people find out." No one knows how many big people are hiding in Qingzhou City, but they can't let this matter fall short. ”

After Shopkeeper Wu finished speaking, he arrived at Lao Dao in the blink of an eye, and waited for Qin Chuan with him.

Qin Chuan fought against many martial arts cultivators, and escaped death many times with his agile body. But now it seems difficult to get to the mass graves in the north by manpower. Qin Chuan gritted his teeth, kicked towards the wall in front of him and went to the roof, looking at this figure, although it was a little shaky, but it also followed in the blink of an eye.

Passing through the houses of several wealthy families, and jumping into the low courtyard, stepping on the broken green bricks and tiles could not make a sound, and had to avoid the crowds and the Qingzhou City hiding in the shadows.

Thanks to Lao Dao's perception in advance, he avoided a lot of secret sentinels hiding in the dark, and the three of them reached the side of the city wall in half a pillar of incense. According to the shopkeeper Wu, the token cannot be used at this moment, after all, everyone who goes out on the New Year will be strictly interrogated, and it will take a lot of time to calculate, so it is necessary to climb from the smooth wall to the top of the city gate, and then climb down from a height of ten zhang.

Lao Dao and Shopkeeper Wu walked in front, and climbed up from between the walls without saying a word, without making a sound, it seemed that it only took two steps. The guards guarding the city were pushing the cups and changing the lamps, unaware that two people had climbed the wall right under their noses.

Qin Chuan took a deep breath, poured the heaven and earth aura from the empty mountain and the Danhai into his limbs, found a place where there was no light, and began to jump forward. There is a lot of moss on the bluestone slab of this city wall, and Qin Chuan clasped the gap in the middle of the bluestone slab and climbed up step by step.

The lively sound of the crowd in the distance came, and Qin Chuan was secretly anxious in his heart, if he couldn't climb to the top of the city wall immediately, it would not be good to be caught by some people with good eyesight.

Qin Chuan gritted his teeth, his face was covered with slippery moss, his steps began to speed up, and he climbed dozens of steps forward, seeing that he could see the shadow of Lao Dao and Wu's shopkeeper, Qin Chuan's face was happy, his feet were strong, and he took a few steps forward, as long as he insisted on a few breaths, he could climb to the top of the city tower.

Qin Chuan stepped on the air at this time, and suddenly fell down, and the wind was whirring in his ears!

Qin Chuan's eyes were open, and he couldn't exert any force at all. Just when Qin Chuan thought that he was about to fall to the ground, there was a raised stone on the wall to cushion it, giving Qin Chuan a moment to react.

Qin Chuan instilled all the heaven and earth aura in the empty mountains and Danhai into his limbs, endured the severe pain of his internal organs, and began to climb again. At this time, Qin Chuan was very careful, clasping the gap between the bluestone slabs with both hands, and then he would step forward with his feet forward.

After climbing hundreds of steps forward, it took a lot of time, as if he was suffering from a serious illness, Qin Chuan finally reached the top of the city wall out of breath, looking at Lao Dao looking at the crowd walking in the distance with a complacent expression, Qin Chuan couldn't help but be a little annoyed: "Lao Dao, I almost fell to my death just now, and you didn't save you when you saw death?"

Lao Dao walked forward, and said without looking back: "My own life, of course, I have to save myself!"
