Chapter 7: San'in Castle

A col in the Great Wilderness Mountain, surrounded by stones on three sides, and one side facing the sky, is a good place to shelter from the wind. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A figure covered in a wide black cloak stood on the edge of the cliff, revealing only a pair of clear eyes, looking at the distant sky.

Can't tell if this person is a man or a woman? Suddenly, a flash of surprise flashed in those clear eyes, and then slowly dissipated.

The shadow turned and walked into the forest, through the sparse woods, and was confronted by a low stone house. The stone houses are somewhat dilapidated, and they should have been built by hunters in the mountains.

A tall, handsome man was holding a huge plaque and hanging it on the stone roof, trying his best to hang it properly.

The plaque is made of unknown materials, and the paint is mottled, and it looks like it should be an old object. The plaque is engraved with three vigorous characters, saying: Tianji Pavilion, intuition is extraordinary.

The black shadow walked to the stone house and looked up at the serious appearance of the handsome man.

"Zhang Yanghao... Are you interesting? Every time you go to a place, you have to hang this plaque again, are you interesting?"

The man called Zhang Yanghao finally hung up the plaque, nodded with satisfaction, and turned his head to look at the black shadow beside him.

"If we don't die, the Heavenly Machine Pavilion will live forever. His eyes were full of pious eagerness, "Chihiro, where did that ox cart go?"

The two walked into the stone house next to each other, Zhang Yanghao walked to a random place and sat down, and the black shadow called Chihiro shook his head.

"Hai Dongqing, who was monitoring the ox cart, lost contact and must have been killed by the birds of prey in the mountain. ”

"Alas......" Zhang Yanghao sighed, looking a little relieved, "This is also something that can't be helped!"

"It's really ...... to think that I followed the ox cart since Middle-earth, traveled thousands of miles away, and actually let the other party escape into the snow country."

Chihiro listened to Zhang Yanghao's words and snorted coldly, "If it weren't for the fact that you had to hang a plaque and worship your ancestors every time you went to a place, and you delayed so much effort, otherwise we would have completed the task a long time ago." ”

Zhang Yanghao heard the other party's sarcasm and coughed awkwardly.

"How can you speak? The ancestor heroic spirit of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, how can he be lazy? There must not be the slightest mistake. ”

"Really?" Chihiro continued to sneer, "It's the old man and the girl in the oxcart that you can't bear to do it, right?"

Chihiro's words seemed to hit Zhang Yanghao's mind, and the stone house suddenly fell silent, the sun gradually went west, and the already low and dim stone house became even darker, and Zhang Yanghao's expression could not be seen.

Chihiro sighed again and said in a deep voice, "It's time to make a decision, otherwise it will be even more difficult for them to start when they get the Snow Country's response." ”

"This time, let the three brothers of the ghost family go, and they are bound to kill that Xue Linlang. ”

Chihiro saw that Zhang Yanghao was still like that, and couldn't help but show a little sorrow, and his voice became a little colder.

"Have you forgotten the significance of the inheritance of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion?"

"I haven't forgotten that no one can be more religious than me!" Zhang Yanghao finally spoke: "It's just.... After all, it's just a little girl.... Chihiro, tell me, your divination skills must be right, right?"

Qianxun fixed his eyes on Zhang Yanghao, his gaze was determined.

"Although the Tianji Pavilion has declined so far, only the two of us are left, but the divination technique that has been passed down by the master for tens of thousands of years, can it still be wrong?"

"That girl is the last key to open the end of Huangquan, and she must not be allowed to reach Syracuse City safely. ”

Zhang Yanghao listened to Chihiro's answer, buried his head in the darkness again, and was speechless for a long time.

"Let the ghost brothers take the Yuan Sword, with the strength of the Ghost Sword to break through the peak of the mortal realm, coupled with the power of the Yuan Sword, it will definitely ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

"I don't know what kind of means the Wudao people who are still alive in the snow country have in the records of the master?"

.......

The Wild Thirteen didn't know the conspiracy hidden in the Great Wilderness Mountain behind him, and at this time the ox cart finally drove slowly to the county seat of the snow country, which was taken from the meaning of the north of the mountain and the south of the water, which was called Shanyin County.

The tall city wall made of huge bluestone is much taller than the city wall of the town under the Great Wilderness Mountain, and the Wild Thirteen stood on the ox cart and looked at the city wall in front of him, with an irrepressible excitement in his heart.

At this time, it was already dusk, and a noisy crowd was crowded at the city gate, rushing in and out of the city before dark.

Several men dressed in soap linen clothes and yellow hats, dressed like officials, were blocking the city gate.

There is a tax to pay when entering the city, and it is said that this is also the rule set by the late Prime Minister Wenqu Gong.

The ox cart slowly stopped at the city gate, and several officials came over carrying a stone tripod engraved with the word "tax".

Wild Thirteen knows the rules of the city tax, but knowing it is just knowing. It's like those hunters under the mountain who enter the Great Wilderness Mountain to hunt, as the king of the periphery of the Great Wilderness Mountain, he does not levy a mountain tax.

So when he entered the county seat of the Snow Country, of course he refused to pay any entrance tax, so he turned his head away indifferently.

The officials were about to get angry, when suddenly a heartfelt voice came from the ox cart.

"But in the county seat of the Snow Country?"

Shen Tujia got out of the ox cart, and at this time he was dressed in a moon-white cumbersome Confucian robe, and wore a large crown hat about half a meter high.

Coupled with Shen Tujia's originally elegant and calm temperament, he looked majestic and noble, and even the Wild Thirteen who was sitting on the side was a little distracted.

Where have the mountains and wilderness of the Snow Country seen such a brilliant person? The temperament that transcends ordinary people makes them intuitive and impressed.

Shen Tujia scanned the crowd with a warm smile, and finally set his eyes on the tax collectors, who suddenly felt a little shorter uncontrollably.

It's like a chimpanzee facing a human, feeling humble and insignificant.

"Old man Shen Tujia, from Middle-earth, I have traveled all over the world in my life, just to find the virtuous and visit the Tao, enlightenment and self-cultivation. I heard that in the far north, there is a snow country behind the endless grassland, so I urged the car to travel here. ”

After speaking, Shen Tujia bowed to everyone, but no one felt that he was cowardly and timid, but felt that the other party was as calm as a mountain.

"Middle-earth?...... Middle-earth?"

These four words kept exploding in everyone's minds, and the status of Middle-earth in the hearts of the people of the Snow Land was no longer to be said.

The mountain people in all directions, including the tax collectors, all felt sour in their hearts and their eyes were astringent.

Therefore, hundreds of years after the death of Prime Minister Wenqu Gong, the glory of Middle-earth will once again shine on the mountains and rivers of the snow country?

As for whether Shen Tujia is from Middle-earth, everyone is the same as Arajusan did at the beginning, almost instantly believing that the other party is definitely a visitor from Middle-earth.

Except for the legendary world of Middle-earth, where else can such a hero come out?

Someone in the crowd kept kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to Shentujia, and kneeling close to Shentujia's ox cart, hoping to be tainted with more of the light from Middle-earth.

The tax collectors finally woke up from the shock, and were about to bow their heads, but they felt the crowd coming continuously, for fear that the barren mountain people would collide with the Middle Earth dignitaries, so they hurriedly formed a human wall to block the surging of the mountain people behind them.

When Shen Tujia saw the stone tripod under the tax officer's feet, he immediately understood.

"It's the old Meng Lang, but you are the officials who collect the income city tax?"

The leader of the tax collector hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "How dare the villain levy the adult's entry tax into the city? ”

Shen Tujia shook his head, "No, no, no, the country died without a system, how dare Shen Tujia violate the laws of your country?"

With that, he took out a silver coin from his sleeve, and the silver coin was decorated with intricate patterns, and the mere glance at it made people fascinated.

"This is a silver coin used in Middle-earth, can it be used as a city entry tax?"

The tax collector was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed three times in a row, "If the villain accepts the money from the adult, he will definitely be swallowed alive by the people of the Snow Country! ”

"Alas.... If you don't collect this tax, the old man won't enter San'in City!"

The tax collector showed a look of struggle on his face, although it is a crime to collect taxes from the distinguished guests of Middle-earth, but if the distinguished guests do not enter San'in City because of this, so that the thousands of fathers and elders in Sanyin City cannot bathe in the glory from the Middle-earth world, it will be even more sinful!

Finally, the tax collector took a few steps forward, rubbing his hands on his clothes until the skin of his palms was rubbed off, and then he bowed down and held it in front of Shen Tujia, and took Shen Tujia's silver coin.

The tax collector looked at the silver coin in his hand as if he were holding the most precious thing in the world.

This is a silver coin from Middle-earth, and it is worth it to die right now.

The cowhide drums on the city walls were beaten, and the heralds rushed through the streets of San'in County, shouting news of visitors from Middle-earth.

Shen Tujia stood on the ox cart and slowly drove into Sanyin City, at this time, countless people gradually gathered on both sides of the street, all looking eagerly at Shen Tujia standing on the ox cart.

When the ox cart drove to the county government office in Shanyin County, a well-dressed official came over and first saluted Shen Tujia.

"The distinguished guests of Middle Earth came, it is really another county Pengsheng shining, I am the master of Shanyin County, my county gentleman has words, basil dirt does not dare to disturb the guests, after bathing and burning incense tonight, I dare to visit tomorrow. ”

"Distinguished guests can follow me to the inn to rest. ”

Shen Tujia also returned the salute, "Don't dare, it was the old man who disturbed your county." ”

Subsequently, Shen Tujia and the three of them were placed in the courtyard next to the county government, and Huang Thirteen woke up from his daze at this time, thinking that he had learned that Shen Tujia was from Middle-earth, and he had behaved enough.

I didn't expect ......

Therefore, the imprint of Prime Minister Wen Qugong in the country of snow, even after a hundred years, is still heavy and profound. Even the Snow Country's feelings for Middle-earth have become more mellow.

This made the absolute king of the Great Wilderness Mountain feel extremely angry, and there was an inexplicable sourness in his heart.

When the outsiders dispersed, Arasan snorted coldly at Shen Tu Jia, and then escaped into his room.

Xue Linlang looked at Shen Tujia timidly, and Shen Tujia stroked Xue Linlang's soft green silk and showed a kind smile.

"It's okay, it's just a spoiled little guy who makes a little bit of a petty character......?"

Arazo hid in his room, the room was dark, and he hugged the back tooth in his arms tightly, and only in this way could he feel a little at ease.

Since following Shen Tujia out of the mountain, he has inexplicably born a little fear in his heart, this fear is not from the threat of power, just kidding, he is the king from the Great Wilderness Mountain!

What is afraid is the strange, what is afraid is not controlled, what is afraid is the uncontrollable desire in the heart.

This is no longer a great barren mountain, this is a world with new rules, and he can't go out and kill all directions with his back teeth.

It's not that I don't dare.... Rather, it can't ......

His heart kept telling him that he had to fit into this new world.

"Brother Thirteen, it's time for dinner. ”

A crisp voice came from outside the door, and Arajusan didn't make a sound, and it didn't take long for the wooden door of the room to be slowly pushed open, and a petite figure, like a kitten, walked in timidly.

Wild Thirteen's body tensed up again, and then slowly relaxed, and suddenly felt refreshed.

Because the room was too dark, Xue Linlang couldn't see the figure of the Wild Thirteen, "Brother Thirteen, are you there?" Suddenly Xue Linlang seemed to step on something, her body tilted, let out a coquettish cry, and fell to the ground.

The desolate thirteen in the darkness rushed out like lightning, stretched out his hand to support Xue Linlang's delicate body, and then the fragrance in his hand was soft, so frightened that he quickly dodged again.

Xue Linlang's voice became a little trembling, "Brother Thirteen, I'll call you over for dinner." ”

"I'm not going!"

"Giggle......

"What are you laughing at?"

"Grandpa said, you are making a small temperament, it seems that it is really true! Thirteenth brother ......"

Xue Linlang suddenly liked this dark environment, because she couldn't see the other party, and the other party wouldn't see her expression, so she was a little bolder.

In the dark, she can rest assured that she can smile boldly, she can make all kinds of delicate and pretty expressions, and she can blush secretly......

She didn't know that in fact, the darkness did not hinder the gaze of the Wild Thirteen in the slightest.

So Arasan felt that his heart was slowly torn apart by the girl in front of him, and he slowly gave up struggling!
