"Don't look back!"

Duan Ling's tone was very different from just now, and there was no joking at all.

This abruptly changed and made Yamaki a little uncomfortable, and he did the same as before, when the other party had just given the forbidden password, he did it.

This time, however......

It was a cyan-glowing, shapeless gas that was sometimes large and sometimes small, and even the smallest could be seen very clearly in the night.

The qi was extremely strange, both the speed of its movement and the direction of its movement made it difficult for Yama Xi to fathom.

Soon, Sanki lost all consciousness.

......

Yamaki felt as if he was in a steamer, soaking wet, only his face was hit by a small wind from time to time, but unfortunately, the wind was also hot.

He had never been out of Sanssouci Valley, and in the mountains, even in the hottest season, he had to wear a single coat.

"How many suns are in the sky?" he asked, as he hit his head on the ground, got up, and asked.

Normal people have been in a coma all day, and the first thing they do when they wake up must be to ask, "Where is this?" Duan Ling was once again thundered by Shan Xi's three views.

"See for yourself?!" Duan Ling threw away the banana fan in his hand, let out a long breath, and replied.

"Hey, why are you wearing so little?"

The second question still didn't hit the point, Duan Ling was completely speechless, he turned around and went to get water for Shan Xi to drink.

By this time, the sun had set, and the earth, which had been scorched for a day, showed no signs of cooling down.

"I just heard that Hou Zhao is unbearably hot for four months of the year, but I didn't expect it to be such a hot method. Duan Ling fanned the banana fan while looking at the cracks in the ground and said to Shan Xi.

"Master said: Later Zhao is the richest country in Xiaqiu, but their land is sunburned like this, how can they grow crops......

Duan Ling didn't say anything, but he was thinking in his heart: "What you care about is really none of your business." ”

"Let's go, it's getting dark. ”

The two hid in the woods outside the north gate of Xingzhou for a whole day before returning to the main road.

The tall and majestic tower stood in the night, and the night did not completely obscure its majesty.

The big iron gate made of two whole pieces of black iron was closed at this time, and even on this hot night, the two big iron gates of the north gate did not make people feel the slightest warmth and accommodation, and it turned away Shan Xi and Duan Ling with a blue face.

Entering the city, they have their own way.

At the base of the castle wall, Yamaki quickly untied the sackcloth wrapped around the peach stick.

Duan Ling on the city wall anxiously watched Shan Xi's every move, but Shan Xi held the stick motionless, did not follow him, and inserted one end of the long sword into the gap between the wall tiles.

Could it be that the gap is too thin...... Not enough?!

"It's impossible. Duan Ling knew that the peach stick in Shanxi's hand was a good treasure, and it was said that it could be thinner and thicker at will.

"What happened to me last night?" Shan Xi shouted loudly at Duan Ling on the roof of the castle tower.

"Shhhh "Such a loud voice will alarm the Hou Zhao soldiers who are defending the city. The two of them are just here to find someone, so there is no need to cause trouble. Duan Ling didn't have any good way to meet this upright and brainless person, so he had to coax in a low voice.

The elasticity of the peachwood stick, coupled with the strength and tenacity of the linen cloth, allowed Sanxi to easily climb the castle tower.

Standing on the highest tower of Xingzhou, you can overlook the entire Xingzhou City. Shortly after nightfall, the city of a million people was just coming alive.

The lights illuminate the entire city of Xingzhou as if it were daytime, and the streets are full of gorgeously dressed men and women, and the stall owners at the grocery stalls shout one after another.

"What's that?" asked Sanki, pointing to an elephant.

In a square in Xicheng, Xingzhou, a baby elephant is performing "Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers". The soft trunk spewed out a thin jet of water, which spread out a foot above the ground, and the water sprinkled on the people, causing everyone to cheer.

"It's a bit of a sight, but unfortunately I don't know what it is?" Duan Ling seemed to realize something, and his face suddenly turned to Shan Xi, who was sitting beside him, and then asked:

"Don't you want to know what happened last night?"

Say. ”

"I've said it all, don't look back, you want to watch. ”

"If you don't look back, how can you see?"

"You're good, so I carried you for hundreds of miles. You owe this favor. ”

Sanki had a look of apology on his face, but he didn't say anything.

"If you're not mistaken, the place we passed by last night is what the old man in the village called the Confused Forest. ”

"The Confused Forest is very weird, and even a swordsman who has entered the Xuanmen may not be able to escape the confusion of the forest. However, as long as you keep your head down and go your own way and don't look at it, it won't take you a long time. ”

"You didn't look back, why did you carry me on your back?"

Duan Ling finally heard a useful word.

The two have been together for two days and one night, and his thinking pattern of Sanxi is really ......

"I have dates from the master. ”

"It looks like it's all arranged. ”

......

Four days ago, Duan Ling received a call from the head of the family and hurried up the mountain and became one of the candidates appointed by the head of the family to go to Xingzhou.

For Duan Ling, who had never walked out of Madang Town, when he learned that he was going to Xingzhou, the capital of Houzhao, for a while, he was happy with a little bit of anxiety.

Hou Zhao has the Southern Academy, which is incompatible with the Sanssouci Sect, which is the place he yearns for the most, and it is also the place he is full of disgust.

To be more precise, Duan Ling was disgusted with the academy disciples who came out of there.

Seven years ago, his father, the former "World Walk" in Madang Town, was killed by the villains of the academy with deception.

In Duan Ling's heart, all the disciples of the academy were cunning and vicious. However, the academy is a place that every lay disciple of the Worry-Free Sect yearns for, and Duan Ling does not deny this.

Sanssouci has a rule that lay disciples must first graduate from Nan Academy before they have the opportunity to become official disciples of Sanssouci in the future.

In fact, Sanssouci Sect and South Academy are one south and one north, and there is no grudge, but in the past two hundred years, the contradictions between the two have begun to evolve deeper and deeper.

The reason is also very simple, the academy is not convinced. What the academy is not satisfied with is why he wants to train and send disciples to his Sanssouci Sect, in the final analysis, he should also be the authentic sect in the world.

......

The night began to get late.

The entire Xingzhou City was brightly lit, except for the southeast boundary of the city, which was the location of the highest institution of learning in the empire, the South Academy.

Condescendingly, Duan Ling inadvertently looked at this place.

In the darkness, the dark shadow of Nan Academy seemed to attract him with infinite charm, so much so that he even forgot that there was Yamaki beside him.

"Quack—"

It wasn't until the tiles under his feet made a crisp sound that Duan Ling realized where he was.

"Where are you going?" asked Shanxi as he got up with Duan Ling.

The cold wind blew over them, drying the clothes that were attached to them.

"It's time to go down, and if it's too late, the night market should be closed. ”

......

As soon as he entered the city, Yamaki was full of people asking where the best hot pot restaurant in the city was.

However, where would the nobles of the upper class in Xingzhou look at such a food that is not nutritious and pompous.

Finally, Lu met an eldest sister with a dignified appearance and a voice thicker than a man, and pointed them out:

"Well, walk south along Changyang Street, and after entering the south of the city, turn right on the second side street. There is a good one in Yong'an Fang, and the boss's surname is Hu. ”

Along Changyang Street all the way to the south, the signboard of the first store in Yong'an Fang really reads - "Hu Yiguo" three big characters.

There is also a line of small words under the signboard - eat hot pot and come to Hu Yiguo (note: here is hard Guang:)).

Before Duan Ling could understand, Shan Xi had already raised his feet and entered the store.
