"Hengshan City has arrived!"

The river breeze was blowing, and Li Yuan pushed open the window, only to see that the river here was getting wider and wider, enough to accommodate dozens of boats in parallel, and the river was tall and smooth.

There are endless fields on both sides of the river, and it is the time of early spring planting, and I don't know how many farmers are holding oxen and ploughing.

"It's finally here!"

"Is that Hengshan Dao City? It is said that in a city, there are millions of households, one of the top ten famous cities in the world! I want to buy a house and settle in Daocheng! ”

"Wow, are those monks from the Dragon and Tiger Temple?"

Li Yuan pushed open the door, and a group of people rushed to the deck, looking around, with excitement and excitement on their faces.

The boats on the river, large and small, were also full of general scenes, with full voices and various accents, almost overpowering the sound of the river tide surging.

"It is worthy of the confluence of eight waters, the center of Hengshan!"

The deck was filled with all sorts of chatter.

Li Yuan looked at the railing, along the banks of the river, there was no shortage of houses, even towns, and in front of an extremely wide river, I don't know how many hundreds of boats docked, this is an ordinary wharf in Hengshan Dao City.

Overlooking from here, the outline of Hengshan Dao City can also be seen.

On the side of the mountains, on the shore of the sea, a majestic city sits here, majestic like a giant dragon crawling, and the momentum is as heavy as a huge mountain.

The tall city wall stretches out from east to west, and there is no end in sight.

The city is open on all sides, facing the water on three sides, running through the Pingjiang Grand Canal of two six states and twenty-one prefectures, meeting here, passing through the gate of Hengshan City, and going straight to the sea mouth and sea.

"How much manpower does it take to build such a city?"

Feng Zhong was already sighing, he was also coming to Hengshan City for the first time, and at this moment, seeing the outline of the giant city, his heart was shocked.

The area of the Dragon Mansion is already not small, but this city is more than ten times larger, and outside the city, there are all kinds of towns and cities, clustered with giant cities.

"Yexianglang has tens of thousands of people, right?"

Liu Zheng muttered, his heart shaking.

"No wonder some people say that the Pingjiang Grand Canal is the first achievement of the Universiade in the millennium."

Li Yuan was amazed.

Large cities with a population of more than 10 million, not to mention the difficulty of construction, but also need a huge amount of resources to maintain, not to mention anything else, firewood is a huge problem.

If it weren't for coal and the Grand Canal, a city of this magnitude would not have existed.

In fact, Hengshan Daocheng has existed for more than 3,000 years, but most of the dozens of expansions were after the canal was dug by Universiade, and before that, it was only a million people.

"The prosperity of the great fortune is beyond the reach of all generations, and the merits of Taizu are unprecedented!"

Not far away on the boat, there was an old scholar with tears in his eyes.

"Daochengju, it's not easy."

Li Yuan muttered in his heart, in such a short time that the ship sailed into the dock from the relatively narrow river, he had at least noticed more than ten high-grade famous vessels!

Top-grade famous weapons, in the Zhulong and Dechang Mansions, at least one elder of the sect and a Tongmai Dacheng level person are eligible to hold it.

"Is the house in Daocheng expensive?"

Before he got off the boat, Li Yuan heard a lot of people talking about it, and after coming to Daocheng, most people had the idea of settling down.

"Expensive, very expensive!"

The ship was docked, there were sailors coming up to carry the goods, and the wind had already glanced at the disciples:

"Hengshan City is divided into two cities, each with sixteen urban districts, an ordinary two-story courtyard in the outer city, at least two hundred taels of gold, and the inner city, I am afraid that it will be more expensive."

"So expensive?"

The disciples were a little staggered.

"Two hundred taels of gold...... Well, the income of the second brother when he was collecting firewood, it would take two hundred years without eating or drinking, and this price is really expensive......"

Li Yuan went back to the house to pack his bags, and there was nothing left, mainly the little rat and the little tiger cub.

One in his pocket, the other on his shoulder.

The python leather rope was wrapped around his hand, Li Yuan lifted the heavy hammer, and followed everyone to get off the boat, he swept over, and he didn't find Lao Han, nor did he notice the light of the high-level blade.

"Gave up?"

Li Yuan was careful in his heart, and inside the palm of his hand, the heavy hammer and boots were shining, and he thought to himself that even if the great master of refining the marrow attacked, he could calmly retreat.

"Unless it's a supreme master who is good at stealth assassination without any blade items......"

Li Yuan clenched the hammer handle.

Walking out of the pier, you will be greeted by a wide and straight official road and a huge wooden arch bridge in the distance.

This is a city gate of Hengshan City, there are as many as eight city gate holes, the soldiers on duty are strong and capable, wearing armor and sharp, and there are quite a lot of people, and there is no lack of masters on patrol.

Li Yuan only glanced at it, and he couldn't see the realm of these soldiers without fighting, but he could also see some from the armor on his body and the movements between walking.

"Walk ...... all over the place"

The wooden arch bridge is nearly eight miles long, and horses are not allowed to come up, and below, there is another water vein of the Pingjiang Grand Canal, leading to Dingzhou.

Li Yuan was very vigilant, and the afterglow swept by, within eighty meters, there was no shortage of superb blades, and occasionally the light of famous weapons.

But he walked all the way to the city gate, registered, and entered the city, and found nothing unusual.

"Old Han miscalculated?"

Li Yuan's heart changed, and he noticed that the light of the wind and thunder Ruyi pestle flashed, and Lao Han did not enter the city.

"Whoever wields swords in the city, die!"

"Murderer, die!"

"Whoever hurts, die!"

Behind the long city gate hole, on both sides of the road, there are twenty or thirty huge stone tablets, each of which is ten zhang high, densely packed with many words.

Several officials held up gongs and shouted aloud about the rules to be followed after entering the city.

"The rules are strict!"

The wind had stopped, and he received a booklet from the officials with all kinds of rules, which were distributed free of charge.

Li Yuan and the others looked at the stone tablets on both sides.

"These steles list all the masters of the rivers and lakes who did not abide by the rules and were killed by the Dragon and Tiger Temple for thousands of years......"

All sects, rivers and lakes, court officials, and even grandmasters?!

"Changhong Sword Sect, Yunzhen Dao people......"

Li Yuan was slightly shocked in his heart, the Changhong Sword Sect is the Yunmeng Dao Dao Sect, and its power is no less than that of the Dragon and Tiger Temple, and the sect master in its sect was killed, and it was actually hung on this stone tablet?

What about these two......

Li Yuan's heart changed, the neighborhood was very lively, and pedestrians passing by this Beilin Street would stop, frightened and in awe.

"Be disciplined."

The disciples of the Divine Soldier Valley glanced at each other, and they felt stable in their hearts, and the rules were so strict, which was naturally a great good thing for them.

Especially Liu Zheng, Wang Peiyao and others, Quenching Dacheng is still a master in Gaoliu County, and in Hengshan City, it is simply a crowd.

"Find a place to settle down at the inn first."

The wind had been watching for a while, and when he saw that there were more and more pedestrians, he led the people away.

Behind Beilin Street, there are tall buildings on both sides, all kinds of restaurants, medicine halls, money villages, silk satin, weapons shops can not be seen at a glance, and pavilions and pavilions can be seen everywhere.

However, there are no vendors setting up stalls on the side of the road, and they look very neat.

"This city is bigger than you think."

Li Yuan looked around, the buildings around him were at least six stories up, high or low, but most of the houses were two-storey, and all kinds of buildings were dotted around, but they were not crowded.

An ordinary street, nearly ten miles long before and after, this is still the closest to the city wall in the outer city, and it is said to be the most remote place.

"Go to the inner city."

Feng Zhong had already called six carriages by the side of the road, and did not stop in the outer city, but went straight to the inner city.

His trip represents the face of the Valley of the Divine Soldiers, and living in the outer city is inevitably a loss of identity, but when he arrived in the inner city, he found an inn, and as soon as he entered, he regretted it a little.

"Tianzi room, ten gold a day, ground room, ten taels of silver a day, Xuanzi room, can accommodate four people, two taels of silver a day, yellow room, can accommodate eight people, one or two silver a day......"

It's too expensive!

I just glanced at the wooden sign on the wall casually, and my eyelids jumped in the wind, but I caught a glimpse of many people in the hall, so I gritted my teeth and took out the golden ticket.

"Except for sect disciples, or merchant officials, ordinary people can't afford to live in this kind of inn."

If you want to replace it with Li Yuan himself, he will definitely not live in this inn, but it is closer to the Dragon and Tiger Temple, and eight days is a small pill for the gods, which is really extravagant.

"Two heavenly rooms, eighteen ground rooms, ten days."

The room has been booked in the wind, and everyone walked up with the guys of the inn, the ground number room is on the sixth floor, and the sky room is on the ninth floor.

The Tianzi room is very spacious, all kinds of facilities are complete, and there is also a spiritual incense, Li Yuan smelled it, this is a condensing incense, although it is not high-grade, but one at least has to be a tael of silver.

What made him satisfied was that the Tianzi room provided hot water, and it was supplied all day.

Li Yuan put down his bags, told Xiao Er to take a hot bath, and put the little mouse and little tiger cub in the room, and then pushed open the window.

Ten taels of gold a day room, the location is naturally excellent, the ninth floor has a wide line of sight, and here, you can see the mountain gate of Longhu Temple.

In the Taoist city where every inch of land is valuable, the Longhu Temple covers an area of at least thousands of acres, which is only in the city, and more than half of it is built directly connected to the mountain.

Hengshan City is water on three sides, one side is mountain, the mountains are like dragons, the name Dragon Mountain, the highest peak is nearly 1,000 zhang high, the grass and trees are lush, among them are temples one after another,

Further back, there is Tiger Mountain, the terrain is flat, but the mountains are very dense.

"It's a big place."

Li Yuan has good eyesight and can see the mountain gate of Longhu Temple from afar.

Four stone pillars 100 meters high support a stone plaque with the word 'Dragon and Tiger' written on it, and the square in front of it is extremely open, and there are no buildings within miles.

And behind the mountain gate, it is really gilded copper tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, all kinds of buildings are staggered, the high-rollers of the rivers and lakes, the disciples of the disciples come and go without knowing hundreds of thousands of people, a scene of prosperity to the extreme.

"I heard that the name of the Heavenly Fortune Divine Soldier in the Dragon and Tiger Temple is 'Dragon and Tiger Health Furnace', I don't know where it is......"

Li Yuan muttered to himself in his heart.

This inn is very close to the Dragon and Tiger Temple, but the legendary 'Dragon and Tiger Health Furnace' has not shown its light like the previous 'Split Sea Xuan Whale Hammer'.

"According to Lao Han's statement, more than 2,000 years ago, the Dragon Seal Holy Monk and the Pure Yang Daoist discussed the Tao for seven years, and completely mastered this Heavenly Fortune Xuanbing, so the Dragon and Tiger Temple has been strong for two thousand years......"

Li Yuan sensed the Split Sea Whale Hammer.

The Heavenly Fortune Xuanbing and the Divine Soldier are indeed different, and they have two sets of control conditions, which are somewhat similar to what Han Chuijun said before.

"Only by meeting two sets of conditions can we completely master the Heavenly Fortune Xuanbing, so that the master of the soldier will die and the Xuanbing will disappear......"

Li Yuan muttered in his heart, a little curious, although Lao Han didn't remind him later, he was naturally very concerned about this matter and very curious.

"Guest, you want hot water."

Outside the door, there was a sound of low footsteps, Li Yuan answered, and the innkeeper had just pushed open the door, and a powerful man carried a solid wooden bath bucket, which was full of hot water.

He walks steadily, handles it gently, does not splash a drop of water, is very stable under the plate, and has strong muscles in his arms, and he is actually a martial artist who cultivates internal strength.

"There is labor."

Li Yuan nodded, closed the door, and began to take a bath.

In the house, the little mouse shrunk under the bed and did not raise his head, while the little tiger cub squatted at the window, lazily basking in the sun, sometimes with his ears pricked up, sometimes drooping.

This little tiger cub was full of wildness when he first caught it, and he was afraid to run away with the python leash, but then he seemed to accept his fate and stopped running around.

Of course, Li Yuan was still tied to a python leash, this kind of spirit beast was much rarer than a divine soldier, if he lost it, he could die of distress.

"It's a pity that I'm too young to know when I can ride ......"

Li Yuan soaked in the medicinal liquid, sighed slightly, and suddenly raised his hand, only to hear the sound of 'pop', the little tiger cub had fallen back on the windowsill.

“……”

Looking at the claw marks left on his hands, Li Yuan was not annoyed, but still looked at it with a smile.

These days, after many temptations by him, he can be sure that this little tiger cub is extremely psychic and very sensitive to the emotions of outsiders.

"Whew!"

Without teasing the little tiger cub anymore, Li Yuan swallowed a few pills, closed his eyes and took a bath, while practicing meditation.

Airplanes!

In the land of spiritual light, visualize the spiritual self is standing on a stake, standing on the posture of the soldiers, but it is not only the posture of the soldiers.

As Li Yuan's mind turned, the visualization spirit self began to transform the pile gong, from the soldier's body to the white ape pile, the tiger pile, and the goshawk pile......

After the cultivation of the Divine Foot Sutra and the Ten Thousand Blades Spirit Dragon was restricted, Li Yuan's energy was focused on the contemplation itself.

These days, in addition to changing the root bones, figuring out the Split Sea Xuan Whale Diagram, and the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound, he is mostly pondering the idea of contemplation, with the idea of worshipping the gods as the core, and beginning to absorb the essence of other middle and lower martial arts.

In this way, visualize the sword soldiers that contain the essence of martial arts in the middle and lower of a sect, and use this to further promote the progress of the Ten Thousand Blades Spirit Dragon Body and increase spiritual power.

Call~

The spring breeze is gentle outside the window.

At the windowsill, the little tiger cub turned around, and in the bathtub, Li Yuan's naked upper body couldn't help trembling, and the skin membrane fluctuated like water, and there seemed to be countless small snakes swimming and undulating under it.

From time to time, there was a low roar like a tanuki.

Swish!

Suddenly, Li Yuan opened his eyes and glanced at the little tiger cub lying lazily on the windowsill, he got up and put on his inner armor and put on a brand new robe.

After a while, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door, and the innkeeper's voice was much more awe-inspiring than before:

"Guest, guest officer, there is an uncle surnamed Yu outside the door, I want to see you."

"Yu Xuanfeng?"

Li Yuan had already changed his clothes and pushed the door open, and the guy had a smile on his face, very enthusiastic.

……

Li ...... Ahem, Brother Li. ”

Outside the inn, Yu Xuanfeng was dressed in a capable military robe, with a smile on his face, and behind him was a carriage.

Li Yuan nodded slightly and took the cat into the car.

"What about Senior Brother Gong?"

The carriage was spacious, with bookshelves and incense.

"Master, his old man hasn't come back yet."

Yu Xuanfeng walked into the carriage, glanced curiously at the civet cat squatting on Li Yuan's shoulder, and instructed the groom to drive.

"Oh?"

"Master, his old man went to Huailong Palace, and when he left, he instructed me to entertain him."

Yu Xuanfeng was a little uncomfortable, although this person was about the same age as himself, his seniority was much higher.

"When will I be able to join the sect?"

Li Yuan didn't care too much about Gong Jiuchuan's whereabouts, he just wanted to get started as soon as possible and learn the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Hammer.

"You can enter the sect at any time, but Uncle Shi and his old man have been in retreat for several months, and there is no sign of leaving the sect......"

Yu Xuanfeng hesitated.

Seeing him hesitate, Li Yuan frowned slightly, and asked in a voice, "But what's the change?" ”

"Uncle Shi's retreat is in a hurry, and there are no arrangements, so it is somewhat hindered......

Yu Xuanfeng said it very tactfully.

"For example?"

Li Yuan sighed in his heart, he was also a little prepared, after all, that cheap master was not as reliable as Lao Han.

"Before Uncle Shi went out, Uncle Shi, you couldn't worship the master anymore, and some people in the door questioned whether you were really included in the door wall by Uncle Shizu......

Transmitting the dialogue, Yu Xuanfeng was also more open, talking about the affairs within the sect.

"Who is it?"

Li Yuan asked.

"This ......"

Yu Xuanfeng hesitated for a moment, but still replied: "There are quite a few, such as the deputy hall master of Longyin Hall, Chu Xuankong ......"

"The deputy hall master of the Dragon Yin Hall?"

Li Yuan thought about it and was not impressed.

The information of the Dao Sect has always been very small, and Yun Shulou may have it, but the Divine Soldier Valley obviously can't buy it, but according to the intelligence, the deputy hall master of the Dao Sect is at least a quasi-grandmaster who has exchanged blood?

"Does it have any effect?"

Li Yuan's eyes moved slightly, and he thought of the battle of West Bear Mountain.

"Impact...... Again, it doesn't have any effect. If the master uncle and ancestor don't go out, it is naturally impossible to apprentice, but after the Dragon and Tiger Banquet, you are already a disciple of the inner sect of the Dragon and Tiger Temple, there is no doubt about it. ”

Yu Xuanfeng replied.

Just can't you apprentice?

Li Yuan's heart slowed down a little, and the retreat was not out of the retreat.

But seeing that Yu Xuanfeng was dark and strange, he suddenly remembered something:

"Master, how long does his old man usually stay in retreat?"

"Maybe three or five months, maybe a year or two ......"

Yu Xuanfeng paused slightly, the carriage also stopped, and the groom's voice came:

"Childe, the mountain gate has arrived."

A year or two......

Li Yuan's eyelids jumped slightly.

"Uncle Li, the disciple will help you register into the sect first, and the elder order ......"

Yu Xuanfeng stood up.

Li Yuan took out Gong Jiuchuan's token and handed it to him.

Get off the carriage, in front of you is the mountain gate of Longhu Temple, tall and solemn, behind the mountain gate, there are all kinds of buildings and houses, and a faint smell of incense.

【Dragon Tiger Temple Mountain Gate (7th Order)】

【…… It is made of ashes in the dragon and tiger health furnace, mixed with a variety of heavenly and earthly treasures, and contains a slight divine sense of the two great grandmaster-level martial artists...... Nourished by the incense of ten thousand homes, the spirituality is born, and the good and evil can be distinguished......]

[Palm Condition: Dragon and Tiger Health Furnace Master]

[Palm Control Effect: Seventh Order (Light Gold): Distinguish between good and evil, the intersection of dragons and tigers (remnant)]

Good guys, god-level mountain gates!

Li Yuan was dumbfounded.
