At dawn the next day, Tie Kui got up early, and according to the previous explanation, he wanted to escort the Song Steward and the others back to Beijing and hand them over to the shopkeeper of the Yanjing Trading House to deal with. ()

The goods returned to Beijing were also loaded overnight and prepared.

Guan Mu also got up early in the morning, and instructed the shop to take out the prepared souvenirs and give a copy to the dart master and the guys who came to deliver it.

In fact, everyone has always felt that Guan Muda's shopkeeper is an elder who is very good at being a person.

Although Han Mo slept very late last night, he got up very early when he heard the movement in the courtyard, and that was also to send these people a few steps, after all, everyone accompanied each other along the way, and they also had some feelings.

The birds in the mountains and forests have begun to cry in the morning, and the caravan returning to Beijing, under the leadership of Tie Kui, also began to rush back, Han Mo rode a horse, took out a hundred taels of silver from his arms, and handed it to Tie Kui, "On the way here, there are Lao Tie Dart and all the brothers to take care of it, these are the thoughts of the younger brother, and if you are tired of the iron dart head and send a shot to everyone, you can buy a few pots of wine to drink!" ”

Tie Kui hesitated for a moment, but finally he was not pretentious, took it, and said, "It's what it means to everyone, I, Tie Kui, will follow." After a pause, he frowned slightly, leaned closer, and lowered his voice: "No matter who it is, take care!" ”

Han Mo smiled slightly, Tie Kui's words obviously showed that this iron-like man was not like everyone, I believed that Han Mo was really Guan Mu's nephew, Tie Kui obviously felt that Han Mo had other identities.

"Have a nice trip!" Han Mo also said softly: "When the junior brother returns to Beijing, find an opportunity to invite the iron dart head to drink a few more cups!" ”

Tie Kui bowed slightly, didn't say much, arched his hand, and immediately urged the horse forward, galloping to the front of the team, Han Mo did not turn the horse's head until the caravan disappeared from sight, and returned to the Guan trading house.

……

Shenshan City is located in the dense forest in the center of Yuquan Village, built by the mountain, the terrain is dangerous, the whole Shenshan City is completely shrouded in the verdant forest, if you are not familiar with the terrain, it is not easy to find Shenshan City in the vast forest.

Shenshan City is a holy place in the minds of the people of the Wind Country, although it is sacred, but due to the conditions, there are not many mountain cities in the whole area, the city within a radius of only about ten miles, compared to the grand palaces of other countries, Shenshan City is really shabby and pitiful, and it is not as good as the tip of the iceberg of those big palaces.

In such a miniature mountain city, there are two places that the people of the Wind Country are proud of, one is the Wind Palace, and the other is the altar.

The Wind Palace is the residence of the Great Chief, all of them are miniature palaces made of green bamboo, and the buildings of the people of the Wind Country are mainly bamboo, so in the South Wind Country, first-class builders of bamboo houses are indispensable.

The Wind Palace gathered more than 100 skilled craftsmen from the Wind Country, and it took several years to build.

The bamboo palace within a radius of a few miles requires hundreds of skilled craftsmen to build it for several years, which shows its sophistication. It is said that even if there is a door in the palace, it also took countless energy of the architect to make a unique style, and on the bamboo door, the bamboo statue of the mountains, rivers, birds, beasts and bamboos of the wind country is made, which is lifelike and vivid.

A little glimpse of the whole picture, just a door to consume so much energy, then the delicacy of the whole bamboo wind palace is self-evident, it can be said that the whole wind country condenses the wisdom and sweat of countless wind country skilled craftsmen, but also a delicate epitome of wind country culture.

The altar, which is less than a few miles away from the Wind Palace, is a much more mysterious place than the Wind Palace.

The Wind Palace is the residence of the chief, and it is also the place where various meetings are held from time to time, although it is the most strictly guarded place in the Wind Country, but there are not a few people who have seen it after all.

However, the altar is very different from the Wind Palace, even the nobles of the Wind Country, few people enter the altar, let alone people from other countries.

The altar is the residence of the high priest of the Wind Country, the high priest is the spokesman of the snake god in the world, and is said to be a person who can understand the language of the snake god, and the high priest's duty is to relay the oracle of the snake god to the world.

In a country full of faith like the Windy Country, the high priest would never have a lower status than the chief, and even in the hearts of most people, the high priest had more authority than the chief.

Each chieftain ascends to the throne and requires the high priest to preside over the ceremony, and will personally present the Anise Shiba, a sacred relic of the Wind Country.

Only by serving the star anise during the ceremony can one become the legitimate chief of the Wind Country.

It is said that the snake god took the star anise to transform into a human form, combined with a mortal woman, and gave birth to the ancestors of the people of the wind country.

Anise Zhi is like the Tianshan Snow Lotus on the Great Snow Mountain of the Wei Kingdom, cherished and rare.

Perhaps it is precisely for this reason that the position of the chief of the Wind Country will be changed every three years, because when the new chief ascends the throne, the star anise will blossom and bear fruit, and it will be presented and taken by the high priest in order to be accepted as the real great leader by the people of the Wind Country.

……

Han Mo and Red Sleeves dressed up as buddies in the trading house, they only came to Shenshan City at dusk, and before leaving, Guan Mu had already told Han Mo some precautions, so as soon as they arrived outside Shenshan City, the two of them showed the black wood Fengji card they had brought with them.

The guards in the city naturally knew the black wood Fengsi card, but they didn't immediately let the two of them into the city, but just took the Fengsi card and entered the city to report.

The red-headed people have not been completely eliminated, and in the recent past, there have been continuous problems in Shenshan City, which has made the defense in the city more and more tight, even if it is seen that there is no problem with this Fengsi card, but for the sake of safety, it is still necessary for the Fengji in the inner city to speak in person before letting people enter the city.

This was the first time Han Mo had seen Shenshan City, carrying a wooden box in his hand, which contained the pearls sent over, while Red Sleeves was holding two brocade boxes with an expressionless face, which were naturally the goods sent this time.

In Han Mo's eyes, Shenshan City is naturally small and pitiful, not to mention that compared with Yanjing City, it is also small and pitiful compared to Donghai City, but he has no contempt for it, because it is already a skillful skill to build a city of such a scale in the middle of the mountain, if you don't see it with your own eyes, it is difficult to imagine that in such a big forest, between such a steep mountain, there will be such an incredible city embedded in it.

This is the holy city in the minds of the people of the Wind Country, and the decisions of the Wind Country are sent out from such a small city, in other words, the Sacred Mountain City is the brain of the Wind Country.

Although Red Sleeves looked indifferent, her spirit was very good, and her bones were full of fighting spirit.

She is a first-class dark person, she knows when she needs to recuperate, she also knows when to hide her edge, and she knows when to seize the opportunity to make a sudden move.

This kind of dark personnel, they are very terrifying dark machines, and they themselves know very well that a top dark officer must have an extremely calm mind and a healthy body that can act according to the dictates of his brain.

So they have always had a way of keeping their physical strength and energy absolutely full, and they will look for all possible free time to keep their bodies and brains fully informed.

Han Mo looked at the outer city wall of the high Divine Mountain City, but he also sighed in his heart, if you really want to talk about it, this Divine Mountain City can really be regarded as a strong fortress, and if you really want to launch a sword army, if you want to conquer this small city, it is also extremely difficult.

didn't wait too long, Luo Rixu, the priest in the altar, hurried over, saw Han Mo and the others, nodded, gave instructions to the guards, and immediately led the two into the city.

The distance between the outer city and the inner city is very short, and it only takes a moment to reach the inner city gate, the inner city wall is obviously much shorter than the outer city wall, but the guards are much stricter, and on the city wall, every few steps, there is a two-feathered samurai standing on the head of the city, closely watching every move under the city.

The Palace of the Winds is located to the east of the inner city, while the Temple of the Templar is located to the west of the inner city.

In addition to the large number of fierce wind warriors guarding the inner city, in two important places, there is another group of more elite warrior guards, who are responsible for guarding the Wind Palace, that is the White Snake Clan, and the Black Snake Warrior is responsible for guarding the altar.

When Luo Rixu led the two of them to the altar, Han Mo was surprised to find that the so-called altar was a city within a city, covering an area of only a few miles, and there was a circular ditch on the periphery, which was even filled with water, just like the moats on the periphery of many cities, but compared to the moats in the ordinary sense, the scale of this ditch was obviously small and pitiful, but it effectively prevented unrelated people from easily entering the altar.

A circle of ditches filled with water separates the altar from it, and a jade bridge made of white jade is erected on top of the ditch, and the clear water in the ditch will be reflected in the bridge, which is very beautiful.

Han Mo knew that the clear water in this ditch must be filled artificially, but it also cost a lot.

"There are four such jade bridges!" Luo Rixu knew that Han Mo was Guan Mu's nephew, and he was invited by Guan Mu yesterday, and he really thought that Han Mo and the two of them had come to Shenshan City to see their vision, "There is one for each of the four in the southeast, northwest, and north, and there are no people to do it, so they can't even get close to here!" ”

He got a lot of benefits from Guan Mu, and he got this request, although now Shenshan City is tightly guarded, and idlers are not allowed to enter, but after all, he is the inner secretary of the altar who is responsible for procurement, and it is not difficult to let the two of them come in to have a look in the name of delivery, and that person has money and money to do things for others, and he took Guan Mu's silver, so he naturally tried his best to help the two of them come in and have a look.

Han Mo showed admiration, just like a hillbilly entering the city and seeing many novelties, his eyes were full of light, such an expression made Luo Rixu very satisfied, and said proudly: "You Qingguo, can you have such a place?" ”

"No, no!" Han Mo shook his head again and again: "The altar is heavy, but I didn't expect it to be so exquisite, eye-opening, eye-opening!" ”

He sighed, but he clearly saw that just outside this altar, from time to time, several black-clothed guards passed by, all dressed in black, with swords at their waists, leather boots on their feet, and black scarves on their heads, thinking that they were the black snakes of the Wind Country.

This group of black snakes is like flowing water, every few moments, a few people patrol by, so it can be seen that this place is really heavily guarded, if you want to sneak into the altar quietly, it is really difficult, once discovered, I am afraid that there is no chance to escape from this place.

"When we get here, that's enough!" Luo Rixu said softly: "You are not allowed to enter the altar, give things to so-and-so, and so-and-so will bring them in!" ”
