The half-day trip passed quickly, and when Xie Baoshu stood on the deck, looking at the two sides of the strait no longer green mountains, but high-rise buildings, he knew that Tianshui County was about to arrive.

Tianshui Prefecture is called Tianshui Prefecture, which naturally makes sense, dozens of counties are close to the river, and half of the territory in the entire state is water. As the card of Tianshui Prefecture, Tianshui County has the largest river in the territory, Tiancang River. The boat that Xie Baoshu was sitting on was docked on the Tiancang River.

When Xie Baoshu got off the boat, he looked around and found that the Cangjiang River was much wider than Shen He's Canglan River. Moreover, the boats coming and going on the river are well-behaved and not cluttered at all, and it is very comfortable to watch. Xie Baoshu hugged Xiaoba, walked down from the deck, and carefully looked at the surrounding environment. This port is much more magnificent than Wuling County, with people coming and going, and there is an endless stream. Xie Baoshu planned to take a rest in Tianshui County, after all, he was a little overwhelmed by the boat for days.

At this time, in his package, there was not much fairy jade left, but fortunately, there was still a lot of silver, and food and accommodation were not a problem.

Jiangcun rises and floats at night, and Zeguo is vividly windy in autumn.

Tianshui County recorded in "Miscellaneous Talks under the Mountain" is definitely a good place to play, not only the Yellow Crane Tower, the first building in the world, but also Wudang Mountain, where a Taoist monarch lives. But there is a fatal flaw in such a place. In the summer, the weather is very hot, and Tianshui County has a nickname "boiler" county.

Tianshui County also has a nickname, Qianhu County.

There are thousands of large lakes in the county, and there are countless smaller ones. So the god of the lake, there are also many. Xie Baoshu walked on the street and found that there were many monks on the street, and there were seven or eight sword cultivators with swords on their backs. However, these monks are also very easy-going, like ordinary people, eating hot dry noodles and drinking soy milk. Xie Baoshu felt the breath of the world for the first time, he smiled, walked to an early shop, and ordered a bowl of hot dry noodles, only two copper plates, which was cheaper than a bowl of noodles in Luzhou County.

This was the first time Xie Baoshu had eaten hot dry noodles, and he ordered a bowl, but he didn't know how to eat it. At this time, a chubby little Taoist priest next to him came over and said with a smile: "It's the first time you come to Tianshui Prefecture, right? I don't know how to eat hot dry noodles, come on, come on, I'll teach you." ”

After speaking, the little Taoist priest brought his bowl over and put it with Xie Baoshu's. It turns out that this hot dry noodle is made by pouring the mixed sesame sauce on top of the noodles, mixing it yourself and eating it. The little Taoist priest said: "You really have a vision, this early shop, but it is a time-honored brand." His sauce is made of sesame oil, which tastes authentic, unlike other houses, where water is used and has no fragrance at all. Let me tell you, I love to eat the kind of hot dry noodles with a lot of sesame sauce, which is really delicious. ”

After speaking, he used chopsticks and began to mix hot dry noodles.

Xie Baoshu also followed his example and began to mix noodles.

The little Taoist priest introduced himself while mixing, and said: "My name is Xiao Haotian, and I am a little Taoist priest who grew up in Wudang Mountain, Tianshui County, since I was a child. When we meet for the first time, please take care of it. ”

Xie Baoshu said with a smile: "My name is Xie Baoshu, I am from a place called Taoyuan Village, and it is the first time I have gone far away, please take care of me." ”

The little Taoist priest had already mixed the noodles, he moved the noodle bowl in front of his eyes, and said: "Eat noodles and eat noodles, the world is big, and eating noodles is the biggest. ”

Xie Baoshu nodded, although he followed Xiao Haotian's example and mixed the noodles, but the sauce was everywhere on his hands. Fortunately, there was a paper towel to wipe his hands on the table, and after he wiped his hands, he began to enjoy the bowl of noodles in front of him. The first time he ate hot dry noodles, Xie Baoshu felt that the taste was strange, but the more he ate it, the more fragrant it became, and soon he ate it clean.

On the ship these days, although there is a lot of food, it can be boring to eat every day.

This bowl of hot dry noodles really conquered him.

The little Taoist priest Xiao Haotian ate much faster than him, and he had already been drinking soy milk leisurely on the side, while saying: "The hot dry noodles must be mixed by their own hands to be fragrant, now there are some shops, for convenience, mixed for the guests, what's the point?"

Xie Baoshu nodded, eating the noodles he mixed, which was indeed very fragrant. He called Xiao Er and settled the bill with his share and Xiao Haotian's share.

The little Taoist priest praised him: "It is worthy of being a character from Taoyuan Fairyland, not to mention the vision, and to do things very angrily! Just by virtue of you, Xie Baoshu, I Xie Baoshu have made up your friend! Let me tell you, in the future, in the entire Tianshui Prefecture, no one will dare to touch you." ”

Hearing this, Xie Baoshu was stuffing the money bag back into his pocket and stopped in mid-air. He turned his head and looked at the shocked little Taoist priest.

Xiao Haotian saw his eyes and said with a smile: "What, are you thinking that Dao Ye has an intention against you? Let me tell you, you inquire in this Tianshui County, with my net worth, what is there on you that I can look up to? Is it the immortal jade in your pocket, or the mountain-moving order in your pocket, or the fairy sword on your back?"

Xie Baoshu frowned and asked, "How do you know this?"

Xiao Haotian glanced at him, stretched out his right hand, and said with a smile: "Do you know that the Dao name of this Daoist is called Duobao Daoren." I know exactly what magic weapons you have. ”

Xie Baoshu was a little shocked, and he asked, "Is there still such a function in the world?"

Xiao Haotian stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Tease you, next time you go out, don't casually say that you are from Taoyuan Village." Recently, there have been some accidents in that peach paradise, and it is easy to find disaster if you report your home like this. Also, these treasures on your body, except for the sword behind your back, I really can't look down on the others. ”

Xie Baoshu sighed in his heart, why does this person like to play tricks on people as much as Shen He.

When Xiao Haotian told his origin just now, he almost drew his sword.

Xiao Haotian glanced at him and said, "Even if you are a cultivator of the Gathering God Realm, you dare to carry a fairy sword on your back and wander around the street like this." Let me tell you, if you continue like this, within three days, your corpse will definitely sink to the bottom of the sky. Let's go, follow Master Dao and me, and take a walk around this city. ”

Xie Baoshu nodded and followed behind the fat Taoist. Along the way, he took Xie Baoshu through many scenic spots, which opened Xie Baoshu's eyes. There are Tiger Spring, as well as Little Turtle Mountain, Jiyu Bridge, Xunli Gate, and finally come to a place called Panlong City.

Fat Taoist Xiao Haotian asked Xie Baoshu to buy him a lot of snacks along the way.

Xie Baoshu suddenly realized, no wonder this Taoist priest is so fat, he eats like this every day, and he is fat for anyone who comes. He ate a bowl of hot dry noodles just now, and he was already eight points full, and he didn't want to eat anything else. Unexpectedly, after this fat man finished eating a bowl of noodles, he ate a lot of other things, and looking at his appearance, he didn't seem to support it at all. He wondered if the fat man's belly would also be a magic weapon for storing things, just like his jasper wrench.

Today's Panlong City has gathered many monks, and it seems that something big has happened.

Along the way, there were many monks who knew Xiao Haotian. And these people are extremely respectful to him, it seems that he has a high status. However, Xiao Haotian doesn't have much arrogance, and he will say hello to anyone he sees and say a word or two. When there was no one, he looked back at Xie Baoshu and said with a smile: "See, Dao Ye is like this, will he still covet your little things?"

Xie Baoshu said slowly: "Then you eat again, don't let me pay the bill." ”

Xiao Haotian glanced at him and asked, "Can you still be friends?"

The two of them came to Panlong City, which was heavily guarded, and it seemed that something big was about to happen. At the gate of the city stood many Xuanwu guards, wearing armor and waiting for battle. Everyone who enters the city must be examined one by one. Panlong City is called a city, but it is actually just a larger area, on the edge of Tianshui County. Xie Baoshu found that this place was a bit desolate compared to those places just now, and it seemed that it had just been built.

Most of the people who come here are monks.

Under the leadership of Xiao Haotian, the two came to the city without hindrance, and there was a large square here.

In the center of the square, there is an altar that seems to be preparing something. Xiao Haotian pointed to the altar and said: "Recently, the state lord is approaching, I don't know what to do with this altar, if you want to forcibly renew your life, it will be interesting." ”

The two stood in the audience, silently watching those people go about their business. Xie Baoshu already knew that this Tianshui Prefecture Governor, the old man of the He family, was approaching the limit, and he was afraid that he would not live long. There has been such a big move recently, I don't know what he is going to do, Xie Baoshu doesn't want to get involved, he pulls Xiao Haotian and wants to leave.

Xiao Haotian was very interested in the things on the altar and was reluctant, but under the urging of Xie Baoshu, he still left this Panlong City. Xie Baoshu followed him, played all the way, chatted all the way, and finally came to Wudang Mountain.

Wudang Mountain is also known as Yamato Mountain, and it was called "Taiyue" in ancient times.

The Tang Emperor once came here, leaving the famous saying of "the unparalleled victory of eternity, the first immortal mountain in the world", where the incense is vigorous, and there are many Taoist believers. The most famous, in addition to the word Xianshan, of course, there is another reason. In Wudang Mountain, there is a Taoist monarch who lives here all the year round. Daojun, it's not a real person. In the entire world, there are only three Dao monarchs in total, and there are three who appear in the Tang Dynasty all year round. Bingxue Prefecture, the master of the Taoist Su Heqing who attacked Xie Baoshu is counted as one.

In Middle-earth, there is one living in the city of Chang'an.

The last one is the Taoist monarch of Wudang Mountain. Wudang Mountain is a famous immortal mountain, but this Daojun has a not very auspicious Daojun, Zhuxian Daojun. said that he was unlucky because Taoism did not like to fight and kill, but just silently sought the road of immortality. This Zhuxian Daojun, I don't know how many immortals he killed back then, is now cultivating himself in Wudang Mountain and dissolving his evil spirit. He hadn't come down for thousands of years, let alone killed someone.

Although the road number is unlucky, the incense of Wudang Mountain is very vigorous, because in Tianshui County, the wind and rain are smooth every year, and there are no major disasters. People are not too afraid of this legendary Zhuxian Daojun, after all, Taoist priests are not uncommon.

Xiao Haotian, who called himself "Duobao Daoren", fooled people in the city all day long, cheating on food and drink. From time to time, people are counted as a hexagram and give them guidance, the key is that those who have been deceived are still very convinced, and they will never come to him for trouble.

It is both unwilling and undaring.

Xie Baoshu followed Xiao Haotian and began to board, and along the way, he met many people from the Daomen, all of whom were greeting Xiao Haotian. Xie Baoshu heard that those people called Xiao Haotian "Little Master". He wondered that Xiao Haotian was so young, no matter how high his status was, he had not reached the level of his ancestor. But he didn't want to ask, so he could only think silently in his heart. The two climbed all the way and finally came to Wudang Mountain.

In the book "Miscellaneous Talks Under the Mountain", Xie Baoshu once read the description of Wudang Mountain, the five mountains in the world, Zhongyue is the first of the five mountains, and Wudang Mountain is the crown of the five mountains. The book says that the famous mountains are all arched, and the five immortals are all in the dynasty. Wudang Mountain has seventy-two peaks, thirty-six rocks, twenty-four streams, eleven caves, three pools, nine springs, ten pools, nine wells, ten stones, nine platforms and other places.

Xiao Haotian took Xie Baoshu into Taihe Palace and said, "I'm new here, take a look around, if it's a believer, you can burn a stick of incense." If you don't believe it, just look at the scenery, it doesn't matter if you burn incense or not. ”

Xie Baoshu nodded, and began to wander around this Wudang Mountain, there are a lot of people here, but fortunately, the place is open. He was alone, looking from place to place here, and finally in the main hall, he still burned a stick of incense and spent three red fairy jades.

Finally, I stopped at a place called "Nanyan Palace", and I heard that this is the holy place of Wudang Mountain. At that time, there were real people in Taoism, and they soared here, leaving a place with strong aura. The most popular places for secular people to go are those places where incense is burned and played. And the monks, as long as they come to Wudang Mountain, they will come to this Nanyan Peak.

Xie Baoshu is no exception, he still doesn't understand, what is the realm of ascension? "Under the Mountain" miscellaneous talk records that it is a matter of the mountain, and there is no mention of the word "Ascension" at all, he is very yearning, I don't know if one day, his "East Flowing Water" method has been cultivated to the extreme, can he soar?

When he came here, he found it very steep, and it was no wonder that the worldly people did not like to come to this place. The full name here is "Great Sage Nanyan Palace", and there was an immortal surnamed Lu who was promoted here and became famous. This immortal's name is Lu Wuxin, also known as Lu Chunyang, and the world respectfully calls him "Lu Zu"

Although Lu Zu is a member of the Dao Sect, he is most famous not for the Dao Fa, but for the Sword Immortal. If you talk about sword immortals, it means that you can't finish talking about them for three days and three nights, in Lu Zu's era, he was a well-deserved number one sword immortal, and no one was unconvinced. I heard that here, there are also poems left by Lu Zu back then, and many later generations of sword cultivators came here to understand the way of the sword.

Xie Baoshu likes this place, although it is dangerous, but there is enough aura here, which makes him feel very comfortable.

It's just that there is a little bit of a bad thing, when he stepped on this peak, the Qingyun Chaotian Sword behind him was ready to move, just like the last time he was in the Great River Sword Sect. Xie Baoshu didn't want to make such a big movement again, so he had to pat the sword body to make it more stable. He walked around here, and it turned out that he was really on a stone wall and found the poems left by Lu Zu back then.

"In the eight hundred years since he attained the Dao, he has never taken a head with a flying sword. ”

Although he didn't understand this poem, he felt that on this stone wall, the sword aura was compelling. He is not a sword cultivator now, so he doesn't dare to look more, so he has to take a look, and then look elsewhere. He felt that Lu Zu was worthy of being Lu Zu, not only a sword immortal, but also wrote so beautifully.

While worshipping, a person next to him said silently: "Eight hundred years after attaining the Tao, the flying sword has never taken a person's head, but only knows how to soar to seek immortality, what's the use?"

Hearing this, Xie Baoshu frowned, and he looked back to see who spoke so badly and was so disrespectful to Lu Zu. When he looked back, he found that it was actually an old man, who was carrying a knife at his waist, and the whole person was extremely energetic. His eyes were piercing, and his arms were thin, but they looked very powerful. The point is, he stands very upright, like a knife.

The old man was wearing a very ordinary long robe, but strangely, he was actually wearing a long cloak.

This is the first time Xie Baoshu has seen someone wearing a cloak when he left Taoyuan Village.

Now that summer is approaching, everyone likes to wear cool long shirts, and some people even wear short shirts, and this old man is really a strange person who wears such a long cloak as if he is not afraid of the heat. Xie Baoshu still didn't want to cause trouble, he just glanced at the old man and didn't open his mouth to refute.

The old man glanced at him and sneered: "Carrying a fairy sword on his back, he looks like a dog, why are you so cowardly?"

Xie Baoshu was very puzzled, how could some of the people he met all know that he was carrying a fairy sword behind his back? Looking at this old man, he didn't look like a good person, so he better not provoke him. Turn around and leave, can't I hide if I can't be provoked? He came to the other side of this South Rock Peak.

Unexpectedly, the old man followed him again, Xie Baoshu had no choice, he looked at the old man and asked, "What do you want to do?"

The old man smiled and said, "This place is not your home, you can come, why can't I come?"

Xie Baoshu lamented: "You are so old, how can you be like a child? After saying that, he was no longer in the mood to look at the scenery of this place of ascension, and went somewhere else.

The old man stayed in place, feeling the breath here with his body, and sure enough, the land of immortals was different, much better than his hometown. The old man's hometown is in a place that is even more remote than the Ice and Snow State, called Mobei. It is said that there is often heavy snow in the ice and snow state, and the climate is extremely harsh, so there are many physical cultivations. But the world doesn't know that there is a place called Mobei, where the climate is even worse and sparsely populated. But every 100 years, one or two powerful monks pop up.

The old man sighed and shook the cloak behind his back, just like Xie Baoshu, the knife on his waist had been shaking since he entered this place of ascension, and it seemed to be influenced by Lu Zu's poem. The old man sighed and said, "A good place is different, in our Mobei, no one can write such a poem." ”

He smiled, he had attained Taoism for eight hundred years, and the flying sword had never taken anyone's head.

This kind of soft-hearted monk, if they were in Mobei, would definitely not live for three days. Although he admired this Lu Zu, he definitely did not agree with Lu Zu's cultivation methods. Because the two people were born in different times, the places are different. If he didn't cut off people's heads in Mobei, someone else would have cut off his head.

The knife on his waist, this old guy who has been with him for many years, I don't know how much blood he has drunk.

There are monks, there are big demons, and even sword immortals, it's not nothing.

The old man no longer looked at the place of ascension, he thought of the little guy just now, and thought it was very interesting, and muttered to himself: "Why do you have to carry a sword on your back, when it is clear that the natal object is a sword that slashes evil?

He decided not to think about it anymore, turned around and went down the mountain, and the moment he turned around, the wind blew his robe, revealing the word "slay the dragon" on the blade.

These two words are exactly the same as the two words on Xie Baoshu's natal knife, and even the inscription on the knife is exactly the same.
