Fengcheng in southern Xinjiang, a lonely city standing on the southern plateau, may be because the east is shaded by mountains, and it has little contact with the outside world.

And the pattern here is a little different from that of other states... Most of the north is the residence of the Yanyang officials, and in the Gaomen compound, there are some Yanyang officials stationed here.

There are very few Fengcheng locals in the north of the city, who will pass by here, for fear of annoying these people who have lived in the mountains for a long time

The "Emperor of the Earth" is pure. To the west is the mansion of the wealthy merchants, and it is the businessmen who live here who communicate with the outside world quite frequently.

The prosperity of the west of the city is far better than the other three parties, no matter what kind of banquet is going to be held in Fengcheng, or there are new Yanyang officials who have been appointed here, most of them will come here for a visit.

To the south is where the grain and baggage reserves are located, and few people will appear here except for some men who work for the public family as farmers, or soldiers who patrol the streets and alleys.

However, thieves often appear in the south of the city, and it is also a good place to hide some stolen goods here temporarily.

Finally, to the east, in the slum alleys of Fengcheng... Whether it is the wealthy merchants in the west of the city or the officials in the north of the city, they are extremely reluctant to this place.

In their eyes, the entire eastern part of the city was full of poverty, hunger, cold, and lifelessness, and even passing by here would make those merchants feel dirty.

If it weren't for the Taoist temple on the high mountain behind the bamboo forest outside the east of the city, they would even want to enclose this place and cut off the traffic in turn... And the star view outside the East City has been entrenched here for a long time, and it can be regarded as the real leader of Fengcheng.

The wealthy merchants in the city attached themselves to this Taoist temple, and as long as the Taoist priests in the temple came down the mountain to solve their doubts for the city, the people in the city would rush to hand over their silver coins to eliminate the calamity for them.

Among them, the most thrown silver coins are also these rich merchants, some poor people have never seen silver coins in their lives.

From the hands of these wealthy merchants, it was handed over to those who were like Bodhisattvas who had mercy on the world.

Then they will shout, "My generation treats money as dung!" Just to solve the crisis in Fengcheng, please ask the immortal master to tide over the disaster for the people! ”。

And the people who set up a sacrificial platform in the city are all waving their hands to whisk the dust, holding it high on the top, and chanting the Taoist tips that others cannot hear.

In such a pious scene, the people in the market who gave the money were all grateful, speechless, and muttered in their mouths

"More Immortal Masters!". After the practice is over, among the people in the market, there must be people who feel like Mu Chunguang and receive the favor of the immortal masters.

This was followed by the imitation of others...... I don't know how many times such scenes and dialogues will be staged in this Fengcheng in a year, and the people in the city will never get tired of it.

And the wealthy businessmen on the west side and the official eunuchs in the north are also very happy to stage these dramas.

After all, after such a grand Taoist Jiao, the money of the merchants and officials was returned, and the money of the people in the market was divided into thirty or seventy... Isn't that a good thing for them?

It's just that I've been tired for a long time, and no one knows it......... At noon in Fengcheng, there were more pedestrians at the entrances of the West City Gate and the North City Gate than usual.

The vendors shouting on the street are more energetic than one another, especially in the direction of Xicheng, because the most caravans pass through here, and if the merchants want to make a better living today, they must attract the attention of some caravans.

But in such a quiet and peaceful scene, nearly 100 masked men in black clothes and black armor suddenly jumped out of the mountains and forests.

The sound of horses' hooves was like the momentum of knocking on the mountain and shaking the ground, attracting some Fengcheng people who were far away from the city gate to look over.

In the sunlight, the black armor was shining, and all of them rushed out of the mountains and forests. Before the people of Fengcheng could react, these people in armor all groped out an arrow, and then pulled it directly.

Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh--whoosh--swish--hundreds of arrows on both sides of the city gates were pulled at the same time, and the piercing arrows pierced the sky, and the two city gates were immediately in a panic.

Whether it was the hawkers or the caravan that hadn't gone far, they all hurriedly fled towards Fengcheng... The Yanyang soldiers stationed in Fengcheng had seen such a battle, and their hands holding guns and halberds began to tremble a little, and anxiety and fear began to fill their bodies.

Their hard-working relationships, it is not easy to hold such idle relationships, bullying men and women on weekdays is quite prestigious, if you really want to kill a chicken with a knife, you may not be as good as a cook.

"Come... Who is coming? Trespassing... I'm Fengcheng... Don't want to... Alive..."Someone tried his best to suppress his timidity, and raised his spear and pointed it at the black knight.

In response, hundreds of masked men roared: "Do the right thing for heaven!" Evil spirits should be punished! But the enemy is thousands of miles! Slaughter the evil!! ”。

"You are... Slaughter the Evil Gate..."The Flame Sun soldier muttered. Listening to these incessant shouting words, he remembered in his mind a few days ago, when he was eating flowers and wine with a few brothers in the restaurant, the old storyteller downstairs was idle and booked.

There is a section in it, that is, Lingnan has come out of the evil gate, in order to get rid of the evil in the world!

"Let all the Taoist priests in the city go out of the city! From today, the Slaughter Evil Gate will wipe out and kill this thief who is harming the mountains and rivers of one side! The man led by the Black Rider said loudly.

After his words, the black knight behind him shouted again, doing the right thing for the sky! Evil spirits should be punished! But the enemy is thousands of miles!

Slaughter the evil! As the man raised his hand as he spoke, another volley of arrows was fired, and the sound of breaking through the air caused the people of the city to shout again in panic.

The Yanyang soldiers at the gate of the city looked at these black-clothed and black-armored people vigilantly, and did not dare to make any moves forward.

"My generation has no intention of involving the people in the market, as long as all the Taoist priests who participate in the stars go out of the city, if there are chivalrous people, hand over these Taoist people, they can exchange money and food with us!" The leader of the Black Riders exhaled again.

As soon as these words came out, it was like a slap of peace and dispersion, and the panicked shouts in the city began to stop...

"For ten days, if there is no one out of the city without the constellation, we can only settle in Fengcheng and relieve the worries of the people!" And another word came out of his mouth.

Although there was another noise, it was very small compared to before...

"These words... Seriously? The Yanyang soldier who spoke before, not knowing the guts of the attack, shouted at the slaughtering evil gate.

"You guard the city and your homeland, protect the safety of one party, and our generation will punish the evil and slaughter the evil, and the different paths will end together!" The head of the black armor responded.

"I'm... Believe you—" The scorching sun soldier put away his spear and headed for the city gate. After the two of them spoke, there was no sound from the Slaughter Gate, and hundreds of horsemen in black armor camped in front of the city gates on the west and north sides of Fengcheng.

And the Yanyang soldiers stationed in Fengcheng guarded under the city gate and no longer looked at the location of the slaughtering gate.

The lonely city in southern Xinjiang was closed, and no birds dared to respond. Suddenly, there was a sound and the door opened, and the down-and-out pedestrians stepped out.

...... On August 19th, a full nine days passed... In the past few days in Fengcheng, out of nowhere, there has been a move to arrest the Taoist priests of the Participating Star Temple, whether it is the true Taoist priest on the mountain or the fake Taoist priest under the mountain, they have all been captured.

In the past, the high-ranking Taoist masters were captured out of the city by the people who once offered their incense and thrown in front of the evil slaughter gate.

The most ruthless and fastest-moving were the merchants and officials in the west and north of the city.

In a mountain forest a hundred miles away from Fengcheng, there was also a camp of more than 100 people stationed at this time, which was the Heaven and Earth Alliance that had gone south.

On the mountain road north of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, at this time, one person and one rider came at a fast gallop. In the past few days, the fast horse galloped, and the young man in the short shirt crossed the entire Qianzhou and smoothly entered southern Xinjiang.

I also heard some news along the way, Fengcheng was besieged, and this Heaven and Earth Alliance was actually entrenched here, without any action... As Lin Manliu gradually approached the location of the Heaven and Earth Alliance's station, he vaguely saw the appearance of the station through the gap between the trees.

Various styles of camps are stationed in the mountains and forests, and from time to time there are disciples of various factions wandering in them. Such a relaxing scene... The short-shirted young man was displeased in his heart, slapped the belly of the little yellow horse with one hand, accelerated the speed of the imperial horse, and hurried towards the station of the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

However, before this person could ride, how to approach the entrance of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, several people immediately jumped out of the bushes on both sides of the mountain road.

Looking at the clothes and ornaments of these people, they seem to be people who ask Sword Lake and look for Cold Mountain.

"Who's coming?" A bright yellow-clothed disciple of Qianjianhu shouted, already holding the long sword in his hand, and looked at the young man in the short shirt.

Lin Manliu took off the hat on his head, hugged his fists and said: "Yijian Villa is full of willows...". The short-shirted boy originally wanted to hide his identity, but in order to avoid accidents, he directly reported the name of Yijian Villa to show his identity and meet the people in the villa as soon as possible.

"The people of Sword Villa?" The questioning Sword Lake disciple spoke in a questioning tone. As soon as these words came out, Lin Manliu immediately became vigilant, and he suddenly thought of one thing, if he came here in a hurry, what about the Wind and Snow Grand View Tower... When the short-robed young man was guessing like this, sure enough, behind these disciples of Wenjian Lake and Xunhan Mountain, several gray-robed people jumped out.

"Liu Manlin... Return my brother's life!! A gray-robed man burst out in anger. It's the person who views the building in the snow!

Lin Manliu immediately pulled out of the mountain and was about to stop this person from taking out his sword, when a middle-aged man who asked Sword Lake flashed out and stopped this disciple of Fengxue Daguanlou with a sword.

"Now the enemy is now... If the owner of the Liu Mansion knows about this, I think you will not have a good time in the future..."The middle-aged man said solemnly.

"Lan Wuqiu, if you ask Jian Hu to die as a disciple, or if your Lan Wuqiu disciple dies! How can you do this!? It's ridiculous! The Fengxue Daguanlou disciple obviously didn't want to give up, and directly raised his sword and pointed at Lan Wuqiu.

This word seemed to hit the pain point in Lan Wuqiu's heart, Lan Wuqiu waved his big sleeves, and under the bright yellow sleeves, a folding fan instantly twisted open, and several silver needles shot out.

These silver needles instantly submerged into all parts of the man's body, and the disciple of the Wind and Snow Great View Building fell to the ground with a look of pain on his face.

"Lan Wu begged you!" The rest of the disciples of the Wind and Snow Daguanlou immediately surrounded them to check on their senior brother's situation.

Lan Wuqiu didn't pay any attention to these disciples of the Wind and Snow Grand View Building, but turned to look at the young man in the short shirt.

At this time, Lin Manliu had already put away his sword and returned it to its sheath, silently watching everything that had happened before.

"Presumably Liu Shaoxia must have a lot of doubts... But you can go with Lan..."Lan Wuqiu said loudly.

"More Lan offerings..."The short-shirted boy clenched his fists and shouted. Then Lin Manliu led the horse, followed behind Lan Wuqiu, and then entered the Heaven and Earth Alliance station.

"Some time ago, Lan had the honor of meeting with the owner of Lu Zhuang in the Snake Valley... The owner of Lu Zhuang is really a talent! Liu Shaoxia is also a hero! On the way, polite words sounded in the ears of the young man in the short shirt.

"Lan worships false praise..."Lin Manliu had to respond.

"Hey... However, after saying goodbye to the Snake Valley, I haven't been able to see Lord Lu so far..."Lan Wuqiu sighed later.

Lin Manliu immediately caught the meaning, Lu Fengbai is not here? The people of Yijian Villa...

"Dare to ask where the owner is now? Still in the Valley of the Snakes? The short-shirted boy spoke tentatively.

"Nine days ago... The Evil Slaughter Sect has reoccupied the Snake Valley, and the whereabouts of Lord Lu Zhuang and his family of disciples of Yijian Villa are unknown..."Lan Wuqiu said in a deep voice.

Lin Manliu fell into a short silence, and seeing that the young man beside him did not answer the words, Lan Wuqiu immediately spoke up: "But Liu Shaoxia, don't worry, now the sect master and Mr. Guizhuang Mo are already planning to attack the evil sect!" ”。

Mr. Mo is still in the Heaven and Earth Alliance... And now I will consult with that Mingxi... In just a few words, several messages echoed in the young man's mind, Lin Manliu immediately made a decision, and Chao Lan replied without asking: "Presumably Lan Xian is going to take me to find Mr. Xunmo...".

"Exactly, Liu Shaoxia and go with Lan..."Lan Wuqiu laughed, asked the direction of the Sword Lake camp in front of him, and made a gesture of please.

"Boy, thank you for the offering!" Lin Manliu clenched his fists again.
