Sanshan County, located at the southeast end of Huangzhou, is close to the state border, and the location is relatively special.

Although there is a word "mountain" in the name, Sanshan County is actually a vast plain land with fertile soil, suitable for growing grains, and suitable for mortal habitation. The county has a population of nearly 10 million, and more than half of them are immigrants from other places.

True to the name of the county, Sanshan County certainly has mountains, but there are only three mountains.

These three adjacent mountains, located in the central area of the county, are more than 1,000 zhang high, and are arranged in a "one" shape diagonally from north to south. The one on the south side is called Nanshan, the one on the north side is called Beishan, and the one in the middle is called Nakayama.

The county seat of Sanshan County is built around these three adjacent high mountains, and it is called Sanshan City.

According to the geographical location, with each mountain as the center, Sanshan Castle is roughly divided into three areas, namely Beishan City, Zhongshan City, and Nanshan City.

In the early morning, the morning sun has not risen, and most of the Sanshan City is shrouded in a faint morning mist.

On the complex and intertwined circular streets, there is an endless stream of tourists and pedestrians. On both sides of the road, there are residential houses, inns, restaurants and other buildings.

Under the cover of the fog, people and things seem to be covered with a curtain, which seems to be a little ethereal.

On the morning of this day, after many days of running, Bian Yao and Twilight Song finally arrived in the north of Sanshan City.

When he came to a busy street, Bian Yao first found a pawnshop and sold a space bag at a low price in exchange for 2,000 bixiang fruits as the cost of playing.

After leaving the pawnshop, the two blended into the crowd and walked all the way to Beishan.

Tourists from outside, who like to enjoy, if they want to experience the special fun of Sanshan City, they will probably do three things: climb the North Mountain to soak in the spring, step on the South Mountain to taste tea, and sit in the Zhongshan Mountain to drink.

Bian Yao and Twilight Song have no intention of soaking in any springs, and they don't want to spend their money on it, but when they come to a strange place, they have to take advantage of the fun to enjoy it.

The north mountain is about 1,600 zhang high, the mountain is gentle, the grass and trees are lush, and the scenery is particularly beautiful. There are more than a dozen large and small spring pools in the mountain, there are hot springs, and there are also cold springs, all of which are controlled by the city lord's mansion.

The two followed the bluestone mountain road and walked all the way to the mountain, enjoying the mountain scenery leisurely along the way. Halfway up the mountain, you can see beautiful clouds and mist, fluttering around the mountain, and the wind blows but does not disperse.

Compared with the Green Lake City in Shuxian County, the scenery of Sanshan City has a unique charm.

The two spent more than an hour, and after visiting Beishan, they left Beicheng District.

Go south from Beishan, follow Hengshan Avenue, walk more than ten miles away, and you can reach Zhongshan.

Near noon, the two came to the foot of Zhongshan and went directly to the mountain.

There are some unique and elegant restaurants in Zhongshan, where guests can sit on the side of the railing, drink and enjoy food while overlooking the Yunlan Mountain view, which is very pleasant.

However, the food and wine in the mountains are extremely expensive, and ordinary mortals can't afford to enjoy it at all, and most of the people who come are cultivators, among which the dreamwalkers and dreamers are the mainstays.

The two of them circled up the mountain road, sometimes burrowing into the hidden wood and rocks, jumping and climbing.

On the west side of the mountainside, about 800 zhang high from the foot of the mountain, there is a long corridor built on the edge of the cliff, and the corridor is winding and turning, which is suitable for viewing. There are wooden tables and stools in the corridor, and there are several houses built at the entrance of the corridor that serve as kitchens and sake houses.

It coincides with noon, and the aroma of various wines and foods wafts in the wind, which is tempting.

At this moment, there are some guests sitting in the corridor, talking and laughing, which is very lively.

Bian Yao and Twilight Song stopped, the two of them said a few words, and then walked quickly into the porch, and found an empty table to sit down.

The arrival of the two young men attracted a lot of attention at first. The drinkers turned their heads sideways, glancing at Bian Yao before fixing their gaze on Twilight Song.

Sword cultivation in the Dream Immortal Continent is very rare, so no matter where a sword cultivator goes, it is more able to attract people's attention! Although the negative sword behind Twilight Song has been wrapped in blue cloth, it can be clearly seen that it is a sword according to the outline and appearance!

The guy in Tsing Yi was busy, and when he saw a new guest coming, he hurriedly ran forward, handed over the wine recipe with a smile, and said, "Two guest officers, let's see what to do?"

Bian Yao stared at the menu for a few moments, discussed it with Twilight Song, and finally ordered two bowls of white rice, four local special mountain dishes, and a jar of tea and wine.

The so-called drinking in the middle of the mountain, the "wine" refers to tea wine.

The tea and wine in Sanshan Castle are brewed from fresh tea and mountain springs, which has both the aroma of tea and the fragrance of wine. This wine is mellow and clear, and it is intoxicating to drink, but people will not get drunk, but their minds will become more and more sober, and it is very famous in the local area!

After a while, the man brought rice, dishes, and wine.

In the promenade on the side of the cliff, the two sat opposite each other in front of the wooden table under the eaves, tasted the wine and food with great interest, and watched the scenery from time to time, and the refreshing mountain breeze blew in their faces, feeling very comfortable!

Between the clouds and mist, there are occasional geese and birds flying to the mountains and singing over the mountains.

Not long after, three more middle-aged men came from the mountain corridor, walked past Bian Yao and Twilight Song, and took their seats at the empty table not far from the two. Judging from their outfits and the momentum they exuded, all three of them were cultivators.

The man hurried forward and quickly left with the menu, while the three men took advantage of the gap to talk.

The first to speak was a man in yellow, with several scars of different shades on his face, and it seemed that he had not experienced much danger. I heard him say: "This rat plague is once in ten years, and the city lord is so generous, we should seize the opportunity to make a big profit, and it is best to kill all the rats!"

The man in white sitting opposite smiled and said: "Those two-headed alien rats are not ordinary alien beasts, they are extremely poisonous, they can make you lose half your life with a single claw, and you will basically whine when you bite it! In just a few days, you and I have followed the boss, and we have also earned two thousand, so let's take it when we see it." ”

The man in yellow looked unconvinced, and said in a loud voice: "One tail can be exchanged for fifty bixiang fruits, how can you not take some risks if you take such a good thing! If it is placed in normal times, it will take three or four months to earn two thousand bixiang fruits!"

The man in white sighed: "No matter how much you earn, you have to have your life to spend it!" In the past few days, there have been many dead and wounded!"

The man in yellow suddenly sneered and said: "Those dreamwalkers who don't know whether to live or die are greedy but don't have enough ability, no matter how many deaths they have, it's not surprising! They think that they can easily surround and kill the two-headed rat just by relying on a large number of people, but they don't know that such a stupid behavior is more likely to intensify the ferocity of the rat, and even the toxicity will be enhanced!"

The man in white paused and said, "In response to the invasion of the alien rat tide on the crops and grains, the city lord only scattered a small group of city guards, mainly relying on us scattered cultivators to exterminate them, but the number of alien rats is too large, and this plague continues to spread, how long will this be killed?"

"The bounty notice posted outside the city lord's mansion is very clearly written, each rat tail can be exchanged for fifty green fruits in the first ten days, and every five days after that, it will be reduced by ten. Anyway, I think it's going to be at least ten days long ahead!" The man in yellow suddenly turned his head to look at the other person and asked, "Boss, what do you think?"

The man, known as "The Boss", dressed in a gray power suit with a calm face, said after a moment of contemplation: "The rat tide has been in place for a few days, and there are very many of them, so you don't need to spend time looking around, take advantage of this time to work for a few more nights." Strange rats eat grain, and it is mainly the mortal people who suffer, and since we are cultivators, we should do our part for the people of the county! Although there is a certain danger in this process, with our skills, as long as we are cautious, there should be no major problems. ”

Next, the three of them said a few more things about the rats, and then changed the subject.

Bian Yao slowly put down the cup in his hand, and the conversation between the three of them was all listened to by him. He was silent for a while, then suddenly looked at the person opposite, and said, "This tea and wine taste good, but the price is a little more expensive!"

Twilight Song put down the chopsticks in her hand, picked up the wine jar on the table, and poured wine into her own glass as she spoke, "What else do you want to say?"

"I think when I go back to the valley this time, I don't know how long I will be trapped in it, and I should buy more things to bring back. The things here are a bit expensive, and we don't have much money on them, so it's almost all over to buy dozens of jars of spirit fruit wine, so it's better to spend a few days to earn some money to use. Bian Yao smiled and said slowly.

"You mean the rats in their mouths?"

"Of course, according to what they just said, one rat's tail can be exchanged for fifty fragrant fruits, and killing a hundred can earn five thousand, which is enough to buy a lot of things!"

"Four days later, we must rush to Shuxian!"

"Okay!"

After a while, the two of them left the lounge after paying the bill, and did not continue to explore the mountain view, but walked quickly down the mountain stone road to the bottom of the mountain.

・・・・・・・・・

Just after noon, on Chaolan Avenue, located in the main urban area of Zhongshan, pedestrians and passers-by are constantly coming, and there are many cultivators in different costumes, walking in a hurry.

Outside the Lord's Mansion in the middle of the avenue, there is a public kiosk dedicated to announcing the announcement.

At this time, in front of the bounty list, there were many cultivators.

Bian Yao and Twilight Song squeezed into the crowd, read the contents of the red notice carefully, and then hurriedly left the city and hurried towards the southwest of Sanshan County.
