In the afternoon, the Haifeng Gate was a little deserted, and the guards standing on both sides of the city gate fell asleep with their halberds. An old guard, however, stood energetically in the doorway, clutching the hilt of his sword, and from time to time inquiring about the scattered villagers who had entered the city.

On the right side of the gate there was a low tree growing in front of the moat, and under the tree sat a little girl with a disheveled head, covered in dirt, and the old guard remembered that this girl had appeared after the end of the day.

At that time, there were many villagers in the city, and when the old guard finished the inspection, there was a little girl under the low tree.

At first, Lao Wei thought that the little girl's family would leave the child here for the time being, and they would take it away in a moment. But as time went on, the old guard understood.

The little girl was abandoned by her family.

......

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew off a few leaves from the branches of the dwarf trees, and the slightly yellowish leaves poured into the city gate with the wind, and then they were scattered by a gust of wind, and one of them drifted into the ear room where the guards were resting.

In the simple wooden room, there are several plank beds, and at this time, a teenager is sleeping soundly in the bed.

Under the bed, there is a flask poured down.

The smell of alcohol filled the room.

The leaves fell on the boy's cheeks, just to cover the tears that had not rolled down for a long time.

At the wooden table outside the ear room, a pale-faced young man looked at the fallen leaves on the ground and said softly: "When a leaf falls, you know that the world is falling." ”

"Isn't autumn bad? My daughter has been waiting for the Double Yang Lantern Festival for a long time. The guard of the garrison city, whose face was full of beards, gently patted the young man's shoulder and asked, "Isn't Erlang awake yet?"

"Wine can wake up, but love can't wake up. The young man picked up a horned bow on the table and pulled it up.

He pulls slowly and seriously.

The cheeky man smiled bitterly, then picked up the halberd, quickly walked to the doorway, and shouted, "Cheer me up." ”

"Wow. With the echoes of the guards of the city, a loud noise came from the north.

At the same time, there was a slight tremor on the ground.

"What's going on?" the big man who was waiting for the gate of Hai Feng Gate hurriedly climbed up to the top of the city from the road to the city and looked to the north.

At this moment, a group of patrolling troops on the city wall also looked north.

"Qu Men waits, the sound comes from the imperial city. The captain of the patrol army was familiar with the big man and whispered.

"Be cautious. The cheeky man replied: "If something happens, the captain will issue a lockdown order." ”

There is no trivial matter in the imperial city, and junior sergeants like them can only obey the orders of the upper peak.

......

Under the city, the old guard looked at the little girl under the low tree, and wondered if he should bring the other party in when the city was closed for a while.

After a long time, the lockdown order did not come.

There was only one piece of news that the Xingqing Palace in the imperial city was in disrepair and had collapsed.

"It's a lot of movement. Qu Menhou sat at the wooden table outside the ear room and frowned slightly. The young man on one side was still drawing his bow.

On the table was a rusty iron ring, the size of a cup that the old guard had found from a sand truck. At that time, I thought that the owner of the sand truck had brought gold into the city to sell it for tax avoidance, but after inspection, it was found that the iron ring was a useless thing. It was the sand diggers who loaded the ring from the bottom of the river into the cart along with the sand.

Qu Men waited for nothing to do, holding the iron ring in his hand and playing with it, and suddenly, a figure stood on the side.

"Awake?" Qu Menhou looked at the young man in front of him, his face was solemn: "Drinking on duty, if you are caught by the imperial history, will you still live?"

"I was wrong, please wait for punishment. The young man bowed half of his body towards Qu Men and said.

"Sit down. Qu Menhou grabbed the young man's wrist, motioned for the other party to sit down, and said to the young man who was drawing the bow on the side: "Yunsheng, I'll say a few words to Erlang, you go farther." ”

The young man took his bow and walked to the corner of the wall not far away.

"Fanxi went to Aoki Mountain, that's her creation, you can't go, that's your life, listen to me, forget those things, and live like a person again. Qu Menhou paused and said: "The Tao is different, don't conspire with each other, don't force it." ”

"Is it really so good to practice?" the young man asked after a long silence.

"Cultivation is a path of suffering, but it is also a road to heaven. After Qu Men finished speaking, he got up and walked towards the city gate. As one of the twelve gates of Panyu City, he has the heavy responsibility of guarding the door, and he can't be exposed to the cold.

"Mt. Aoki is just like that, it's not a big deal. Yun Sheng walked behind the young man at some point: "Su Wei, you remember, if you want to practice, you have to go to Zhongzhou, which is the real place of the Great Dao Xuanmen." ”

"Elder Aoki Mountain said that I was born with a withered leaf body and could not practice. When Su Wei said this, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his heart. Then in a trance, he took the iron ring that Qu Menhou threw on the table in his hand.

Frustrated people like to find something to hold in their hands.

In this way, the empty heart is finally full.

"Do you have me?" Yun Sheng's tone was extremely sad, and after a while, he said: "Su Wei, you are the only one who has not laughed at me, I treat you as a friend." ”

After saying this, Yun Sheng took the bow again and walked to the corner of the city, slowly pulled the bow, and loosened the string.

Su Wei looked at Yun Sheng's pale face, remembered the other party's experience, and couldn't help but sigh.

He then put the ring on his left wrist.

This is naturally an unconscious action.

But soon, Su Wei was speechless.

The iron ring on the wrist of the left hand could not be removed.

He didn't take it off with all his might, but scraped the skin off his wrist.

Su Wei was naturally embarrassed to tell his colleagues about this kind of embarrassment, so he had to think about unloading his duty for a while to go home and get some vegetable oil to lubricate the lower iron ring and take it off.

If it really doesn't work, find a blacksmith to cut it with big scissors.

Thinking like this, Su Wei calmed down a lot.

Looking up at the few white clouds in the sky, Su Wei couldn't help but clench his hands tightly into fists, he knew that Fanxi had already left the city at this time.

It's the fish dragon gate.

It was the main gate of the capital of the Yue Dynasty.

Those who can go through this door, except for the Liyue royal family, are the disciples of the great sect of cultivation.

"Yu Fanxi's qualifications are amazing, and he will definitely be condensed within ten years. ”

When Elder Aokiyama said this, he was extremely confident.

"Let's just separate the day. Su Wei let out a long breath, got up suddenly, grabbed the halberd leaning against the wall, and stood by the city gate.

Even though he was a mortal who couldn't cultivate, it didn't affect his ability to conquer the city.

Yun Sheng in the distance watched all this, a hint of a smile appeared on his pale face, and then continued to draw his bow.

His hands were already dripping with blood.

......

Imperial.

Xingqing Palace is in ruins.

Fortunately, this palace was already a deserted palace, and it was not inhabited, so there were no casualties when the palace collapsed.

At this moment, the Imperial Forest Army has surrounded Xingqing Palace, and various restrictions have been placed in the air.

The king has decreed that no one shall come near this place.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, on the empty Xingqing Palace Square, a man in a yellow dragon suit has been waiting here for a long time.

He is the king of Xuanjiao.

Finally, a black shadow emerged from the ruins of Xingqing Palace.

"National teacher, have you succeeded?" Li Wang looked at the long box on the back of the black shadow, and his voice was a little hurried.

The black shadow took down the long box and handed it to the king, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Your Excellency, please listen." ”

The long box is simple, with countless runes engraved around it, and there is a hidden golden light between the ravines.

The low voice in the box continued, and its sound reached the ears, and the end was deafening.

King Li's hands trembled, and he said with great excitement: "The dragon in the box is chanting, and I will unify the southern regions when I leave Yue." ”
