When Ye Linglong walked out of the Heavenly Prison, the guards who were knocked unconscious by Ai Nana were still not awake. She called out a few times to Ainana, but received no response. "Maybe she waited in a hurry and left first?" Ye Linglong thought to herself, "She is really a mysterious person, not to mention the stunt of instantly freezing people, she flew over the entire demon territory plus half of the immortal territory in half a day, the speed is too amazing...... With her strength, how could she be the leader of the martial arts alliance of the rivers and lakes? Anyway, this time Tianhe was saved thanks to her, and the next time I have a fate, I will thank her again!"

He Tongjie is in the northeast of the Immortal Clan's territory, that is to say, in order to complete the Taigong's instructions, Ye Linglong is going to step into the cold land of the extreme north on this trip. A large area of territory in the northern part of the Immortal Realm belongs to the Mixed Yuan Domain, and due to the cold weather and long winters, the land is barren and sparsely populated. However, Zhuge Feng, the Mixed Yuan Lord of Water Attribute Skill, took a fancy to this vast and sparsely populated realm. As the eldest of the five great monarchs of the Immortal Clan, Zhuge Feng's strength has reached the late stage of the Bagua level, and not many people in his territory dare to covet it, so the Mixed Yuan Domain has always been the largest domain in the territory.

Ye Linglong was born in the southern end of the Demon Race's Red Temper Domain, and had never set foot in the Northland. It was the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, and the Mixed Yuan Domain was already full of frost. The further north you go, the thicker the frost and snow. Ye Linglong was happy and comfortable, enjoying the scenery of the north while hurrying. The sky is high and the sun is small, the glacier and snow forests, and the rare villages and towns are very different from the beautiful scenery of the southern country.

After passing through a vast dense forest, a large river appeared in front of Ye Linglong. The river flows eastwards into a vast valley of hills and ravines. As she walked along the banks of the river, she found that the wide river had been covered with ice, and on the other side, there was a dense forest of pines and cypresses. A bitter cold wind drifted from the lake, so she tightened her shirt and bowed her head to hurry. After walking a short distance, there was a faint noise ahead. Ye Linglong raised her eyes and looked, on the ice of the river in the distance, there were several children. She thought it was children frolicking, but when she got closer, she realized that it was not, and several children seemed to be arguing about something around the same place.

The ice behind the children had cracked several cracks, and it was estimated that the ice was about to shatter when they felt it. Out of kindness, Ye Linglong hurriedly reminded: "Hey, you guys come ashore quickly!

"Sister, come and save my puppy!" a child turned and cried.

"Dog?" Ye Linglong stood on the shore and took a closer look, there was indeed a faint black object under the ice, "What's the matter?"

One of the older children replied: "We were playing on the ice over there at first, but suddenly a big hole opened in the ice, presumably the fishing hole left by the Lu family's grandfather fishing has not yet been frozen." We were fine, but his dog fell in, and the river swept it to its knees. ”

"You all come up first!" Ye Linglong said hurriedly.

The children were obedient and returned to the river and climbed ashore. Ye Linglong breathed a sigh of relief, and then it was time to think of a way to save the puppy under the ice. The ice is close to shattering and cannot bear weight. If it freezes slowly, the dog will definitely die. Ye Linglong was in a hurry, and after going down the river, she lay on the ice, stretched out her hands and feet as much as possible, kicked the river bank, and the whole person slid to the middle of the river.

Above the black shadow, Ye Linglong looked closely, and the black shadow did not move. Judging from the body shape, this dog is only seven or eight months old, and if it falls into the glacier, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky. In order not to disappoint the children, she still took out the Flying Flower Magic Knife, inserted it along the gap in the ice, and struggled to stir it, and the ice cracked instantly. It turned out that the puppy was hung up by a bulge under the ice, and after the ice was broken, at the moment when the puppy was about to be washed away by the river, Ye Linglong was quick and fished it up, and while the ice under her body was not completely broken, she quickly turned around and slid back to the shore on her stomach.

After going ashore, Ye Linglong gently put the frozen puppy corpse on the ground, and the children surrounded him, and the owner of the puppy was so sad that he cried. Several friends were very righteous and comforted him.

"It's not cold enough, the ice isn't thick enough, you can't go down to the river anymore. Ye Linglong told a few children. Fortunately, it was a puppy who fell into the hole this time, and if it was a child, I am afraid it would not be possible to survive.

"Hey, where are you from?" Ye Linglong asked. If you have children, it means that there are people nearby.

The older child said, "We are all from Qianlong Village, and there are many people in the village these days, and we are very busy. The adults didn't have time to take care of us, so we made an appointment to come out and play. ”

"Qianlong Zhuang ......" Ye Linglong muttered, "As the so-called 'Hidden Dragon Don't Use', I guess Zhuangzi shouldn't be very big, right?"

"There are about 40 families, and they all have a little bit of kinship with each other. Don't look at me and they are about the same age, according to their seniority, they all have to call me uncle!"

Ye Linglong laughed and asked again: "Then why are there so many people in the village recently?"

"It's the Ruan family's sister, that is, my distant cousin, who is getting married!"

"But the husband's family came to pick up the relatives? That won't stay long, won't you leave after picking up the relatives?" ”

"Haha, sister, you don't know, Sister Ruan is fierce, and she just needs to find an upside down door, that's why so many people came!" said another child with a grin.

The eldest child glared: "What 'sister', you have to call aunt according to seniority! If Sister Ruan is here, I have to teach you a few lessons!"

The other children shouted together: "Ruan Jingsha, fierce baba, find a husband to plug the door! The bride is delicate, she is not a sister but an aunt!" After singing, several people ran away giggling, leaving only the big child who was puffing and the little boy who had lost his puppy.

Seeing that the children in the village also made up a slip, Ye Linglong couldn't help but laugh.

"Sister,

Why don't you go back to the village with us! The wedding banquet may be held for several days, and it will be lively!"

Ye Linglong hurriedly waved her hand: "No, I am not related to you, I am afraid it is not appropriate to participate in the wedding banquet, thank you for your kindness, my sister understands." ”

At this time, the little boy who had been sitting on the ground wiping his tears stood up and took Ye Linglong's hand: "No, anyway, my sister helped me get Maomao up from under the ice today, I must thank you well." Come and be a guest at our village! My father and mother will definitely treat you well!"

Then, the two couldn't help but say, one of them grabbed Ye Linglong's arm, and the children who ran away first came back, and everyone rushed up, hugging Ye Linglong and walking in the direction of Qianlong Village.

Ye Linglong had no choice but to let them. After a few turns along the path, a house came into view in the distance. Originally, this Qianlong Zhuang is close to the dense forest in the west, the hills in the east, and the big river in the north, and the only way for people to enter and exit Zhuangzi on weekdays is in the south, and the large open space from the north of the village to the river has become the "back garden" of Qianlong Village. Ye Linglong walked deep in the wilderness, through dense forests, and walked not on the avenue, so she broke into the "back garden".

Before entering the village, I heard the voices of people in the village from a distance, and there was a cheer. "Presumably Miss Ruan's wedding has already begun, right?" Ye Linglong said.

A child "poofed" and said: "No, it's not! It must be Sister Ruan who beat up another one!"

"Oh?" Ye Linglong blinked, and quickly figured it out, "Could it be a martial arts competition?"

"Exactly, Sister Ruan has good skills, but she is mean. That's why Uncle Ruan's family gave her a martial arts competition, hoping to find a husband with means to town her. The eldest child said.

"Oh, that's interesting. ”

"Hey, what's the point? Sister, you don't know, Sister Ruan is ruthless!"

"Yes, my mother said that the people who come to fight, whether they are heroes in the rivers and lakes or sons of everyone, have many arms or broken legs, and they want to step down!"

"Obviously, there has been a time since the competition recruited relatives, and the husband did not recruit any of them, but a large number of wounded people were added. ”

"I heard that Uncle Ruan's family has a headache about this!"

The children were talking about it.

Ye Linglong said: "I don't understand, since Miss Ruan is fierce, heavy in her shots, and asks for the door to be reversed, why are so many people willing to come to challenge?"

"Because she's pretty......," the older kid said.

"Isn't it? Just because it's beautiful, let those chivalrous and sons go forward and succeed?" Ye Linglong didn't believe it.

"What else can that be because?Sister Ruan is indeed beautiful, but ......" the eldest child said and took a good look at Ye Linglong, "I think she is still not as beautiful as you!"

()

"Me?" Ye Linglong pointed at herself in surprise.

"Oh, yes! I wanted to say that!"

"Sister, you are not only more beautiful than Sister Ruan, but you also have a better temper than her. ”

"Sister Ruan used to be the most beautiful person I have ever seen, but now the most beautiful is you, sister, and Sister Ruan can only be ranked second. ”

"Sister, you should also go and recruit relatives, I guarantee that everyone likes you!"

The children were again talking eagerly.

The child's words were unscrupulous, but the children's words also reminded Ye Linglong, and she took out a hat that she hadn't worn for a long time to cover her face.

After entering Qianlong Village, just in time for the ring to end, people walked to their homes, talking about today's competition. Qianlong Village is not big, now the road in the village is almost occupied by outsiders, simply build a shed with branches, hang a piece of cloth, it has become a temporary residence, who makes the village small and there is no inn. Along the way, Ye Linglong found that there were really many injured men lying in the simple "residence", still humming and chirping, and it seemed that they were not lightly injured.

The boy who lost his puppy led Ye Linglong to a household in the southwest of Qianlong Village, pushed open the courtyard door and ran in. Out of politeness, Ye Linglong stood outside the courtyard and waited. After a while, a woman came out of the house and warmly welcomed Ye Linglong in.

After talking, Ye Linglong learned that the family's surname was Long. The surname Long is the main surname of this Zhuangzi, and half of the more than 40 households have the surname Long, and the word "dragon" in "Qianlong Village" comes from this. As he was talking, the male owner of the house returned from watching. When he saw a visitor at home, he hurried to the wine shop in the village to drink.

That night, the Long family set up a table of wine and food to entertain Ye Linglong. Ye Linglong didn't like wine, but she had no choice but to drink a few cups of the host's kindness. The country wine is strong, especially the country wine in this cold place, it burns the mouth when you enter it, and the heartburn when you swallow it, Ye Linglong is really unaccustomed to drinking it. The master and his wife laughed when they saw this, no longer persuaded to drink, and vigorously served her vegetables.

"Miss Ye, don't leave these days, just stay at my house. During the day, you can go and see the excitement of the fight. After the Ruan family recruited their husbands, they happened to attend another wedding banquet. The man said.

Ye Linglong politely refused: "No need, thank you for your kindness." I'm just passing by Guizhuang, and I still have important things to do. If it weren't for Ling Lang, I probably wouldn't have entered the village. ”

"yes, then you'll have to have a good night's rest at my house tonight. It's not too late to hit the road. "The hostess was humane.

"In that case, it is better to be respectful than to obey fate. ”

That night, Ye Linglong lived in the same room with the little boy of the Long family. The little boy seemed to like Ye Linglong very much, and was excited, and "gurgling" with her until midnight before falling asleep slowly.

Ye Linglong learned from the little boy that although Qianlong Village is not big, its fame is not small, and it is famous far and wide, which is completely inconsistent with the word "Qianlong" in its name. The reason lies in the owner of the village - Long Zaixing. It is said that Long Zaixing is similar to Zhuge Feng, the king of the mixed yuan

It has something to do with it. After Long Zaixing found this vacant land to build a village, he moved all his relatives and friends from his hometown here. It is from the word "don't use the hidden dragon", plus the surname of the family, so Long Zaixing named Zhuangzi "Qianlong Village". Most of the people in the village practice water attribute exercises, and they are quite fond of this place where the summer is short and the winter is long. Later, with the marriage, there are now a total of 48 families living in the village, and the surname "Dragon" has naturally become the main surname of Qianlong Village.

The saying that "Qianlong Zaixing, the owner of Qianlong Village, has some relationship with Zhuge Feng, the prince of the mixed yuan", I don't know when it arose. There was a group of bandits who came to the village to ransack, but they were all repelled by Long Zaixing with his own strength, and people knew that the owner of the Qianlong Village was extraordinary. Not long after that, Zhuge Feng, the prince of the mixed yuan, actually appeared in Qianlongzhuang, pushed the cup and changed the lamp with Long Zaixing, and had a long talk with the candle. In this way, people know that the rumor that has been circulating for a long time is true. With the strength of the town, and the strong force to support, Qianlong Zhuang became famous, and since then it has been peaceful, and no one dares to attack again.

The status of Qianlong Village is high, and there are naturally many people who want to move to live in the village. However, Long Zaixing is very xenophobic, and non-family members are not allowed to stay, so many people are eyeing the way of "marriage". Needless to say, women marry into Qianlong Village, even the girls of Honzhuang recruit sons-in-law, and many men are willing to be sons-in-law. No, there is a beautiful girl in the Ruan family who has become an adult, and how many men near and far are staring at it. Not to mention that Ruan Jingsha is as beautiful as a flower, even if she has a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, I believe that she will not be able to recruit her husband.

It's just that Ruan Jingsha is pampered, and the Ruan family has spoiled her since she was a child, so she has a cold heart, an eccentric temper, and is mean. Ren said that the matchmaker stepped through the threshold, he didn't want any of them, he didn't get tired of talking too much, and even directly knocked the matchmaker out of the door. Over time, no one dared to come to the door to say goodbye. Ruan Jingsha's father was furious when he saw that his daughter did not understand etiquette so much, so he decided to recruit relatives in this competition. When the news spread, the unmarried men around him flocked to him. Ruan Jingsha was naturally unwilling, so she took a particularly hard shot after taking the stage. Today is the fourth day of the martial arts competition, and there are more than 30 men injured by her.

The little boy said it mysteriously, but Ye Linglong still felt something strange. First of all, Ruan Jingsha is really so beautiful? With such a bad personality, there are still so many people who want to get into the family?" "I think that at the beginning, our Ye family was also famous and dominant, and the Chixi Emperor Ji Yuqiu also had a good relationship with my Ye family. As for my appearance, I guess it won't be much worse than that Ruan Jingsha, not to mention that my temper is better than hers. Even so, there weren't so many people who came to the door to propose to my grandfather for me, and they weren't so crazy! There must be other reasons...... Ye Linglong thought to herself. Secondly, it is the problem of Ruan Jingsha's strength, even if the fight is limited to the cultivation level, is there no man in the same level who can suppress her?

Although curious, Ye Linglong didn't want to do much, so she just waited for the road after dawn.

The next day, Ye Linglong said goodbye to the hospitable master of the house and walked outside Qianlong Village. Before leaving the village, I heard a gong sounding in the village, which was earth-shattering, and many people poured into the street, squeezing towards the central area of Zhuangzi with the people sleeping on the roadside.

"Heh, look at this situation, the competition has started again, and I don't know how many sons will be unlucky today. Ye Linglong pressed the brim of her hat and strode away from Qianlong Village.

To the east from Qianlong Village, there is a continuous low hill. The mountain is covered with pine forests, and the bottom of the mountain is full of stones. There is only one stone path that is neither wide nor flat through the mountains, and the path is even more winding and eighteen bends, winding between many hills, and there are countless forks leading to each mountain. Fortunately, the Long family gave Ye Linglong a map the night before, and according to the marks on the map, she could get out of the mountains in a few days.

It is also interesting to say, Ye Linglong found that she was far more than the only one who was rushing in the mountains with a map, but in half an hour, there were already seven or eight men holding a map to meet her. It seems that they should all rush to Qianlong Village to fight the candidates. "Interesting, I haven't met as many pedestrians in the past half an hour as I have met in the past half an hour......," Ye Linglong found it amused.

A convoy turned around the corner in front of him, and in the carriage of the first carriage sat a big fat man dressed in gorgeous clothes, constantly urging the driver who was whipping on the wheel to speed up, but the coachman helplessly replied that the stone road in the mountains was too rough, and the carriage could not go fast at all. Looking further back, there were several large boxes tied to the two flatbed trucks in the back, and the boxes were covered with cloth. "Although he has a gift for the Ruan family, can the arrogant Miss Ruan family look down on him?" Ye Linglong avoided the side of the road and watched the convoy pass by, chuckling and shaking her head.
