There is a ridge on the top of the Tianshan Mountain, which is called "Hanling", and there are three pools on the cold ridge, which is called "Tianchi".

The left and right heavenly pools are small, and the central heavenly ponds are large.

A flag of the left Tianchi tree, called "green turtle". A flag of the right Tianchi tree, called "Fire Phoenix". A flag of the big Tianchi tree, called "Jinlin".

Hundred miles of cold ridge is a dangerous place in the sky, a husband is not open, there is a magnificent palace standing behind the big heavenly pool, magnificent, towering into the clouds.

There is a green turtle on the left side of this palace, a fire phoenix on the right, a golden lin in front, and an endless abyss behind the wall, and even birds can't fly up. Therefore, this majestic palace located on the top of the Tianshan Mountains, stepping on the snow and piercing the clouds, is absolutely impregnable.

This palace is the legendary Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace.

The Jade Dragon Palace is built on the mountain, and there are three main halls before and after, which are divided into the front hall, the main hall and the apse. There are three hanging corridors built between each other, and the carved beams are hung on the building, which is exquisite. The pavilions on the left and right are numerous, the pavilions are innumerable, the clouds and snow depend on each other, the mist lingers, and the warmth of the big heavenly pond rises, causing the fairy aura to curl, and it really has a bit of a sense of fairyland from a distance.

Although the Jade Dragon Palace of the Tianshan Mountains is regarded as a pagan religion, its momentum is not far behind that of the six major sects of the Central Plains, and it is even more domineering.

Today is the Jade Dragon Festival, and according to the custom, the disciples of the Three Banners and Twelve Halls of the Jade Dragon Palace have to come to celebrate. Therefore, today's Jade Dragon Palace has changed from the past, with a large array of feasts around Tianchi, and the bustling disciples pushing each other's cups and changing lamps, talking and laughing, can be described as very lively.

But no matter how noisy it was outside, the inside of the apse was very clean, and the disciples who came in and out were all cautious, holding their breath and concentrating, walking slowly and softly, and they couldn't wait to walk on tiptoe, for fear of accidentally making a noise and disturbing the Qing Xiu of the Jade Dragon Palace Lord.

The hall is very empty, there are no tables and chairs, and the ground is paved with gold-edged black jade stones three feet square, like a mirror, spotless. On both sides of the main hall, there are huge bronze statues of the 12 zodiac signs arranged in turn, each of them is nearly two zhang high, the posture is different, lifelike, vivid, respectively, representing the twelve points of the hall under the command of the Jade Dragon Palace.

In the center of the main hall are four golden and jade statues surrounding each other, with a white jade dragon in the middle, surrounded by a golden unicorn, a cyan turtle and a red fire phoenix, which represent the Jade Dragon Palace and the three flags under its command.

Hugh saw that this hall was extraordinary, but in fact it was just a passage. The real place of cultivation of the Jade Dragon Palace Lord is in the Ethereal Pavilion behind this main hall.

The ethereal pavilion is small and exquisite, just like a Jiangnan family. This pavilion is divided into two rooms, the front and back, and the middle is separated by an impermeable white veil. The outer cabinet welcomes guests, and the cabinet is cleaned. According to the rules of the Jade Dragon Palace, except for the palace master, no one is allowed to step into the cabinet for half a step, otherwise he will be killed.

The Jade Dragon Palace Lord lives in seclusion in the cabinet all the year round, and almost never takes half a step, even on a big day like the Jade Dragon Festival, the Jade Dragon Palace Lord will not show up. Therefore, although the world is big, there are very few people who have really seen the true face of Lushan, the master of the Jade Dragon Palace.

In the rivers and lakes, the more mysterious a person is, the more unfathomable he becomes.

The people who can enter the Ethereal Pavilion are all important figures in the rivers and lakes, and even the disciples of the Jade Dragon Palace, very few of them can listen to the teachings of the Jade Dragon Palace Master with their own ears.

At this moment, the outside of the hall is staggered, the water and land are complete, but the ethereal pavilion is tranquil and lacking desire, pure and leisurely, like two worlds. There are three people sitting in the outer cabinet, two on the right and one on the left, and on the right are a man and a woman.

The man's face was like a fierce rakshasa, hideous and ruthless, and his face was full of flesh and pits. The body is like a black King Kong, strong and burly, the arms look a little thicker than the thighs of ordinary people, and at the age of forty, the huge head like a lion is shiny like copper oil, and not a single hair can be found. This person sat there, like a living Vajra Arhat, and his posture was very terrifying.

The woman is wearing a bright red skirt robe, the hairpin head and phoenix tail are dressed in the flower branches and bewitching, the willow eyebrows are light, the apricot kernel is charming, the face is smeared with the appropriate pink rouge, the white is red, the red is transparent, the powder is translucent, the whole body everywhere exudes a charming fragrance that makes people feel ape, and the proud figure makes it graceful, and the age of thirty years old is a thousand charming, and the charm is strong.

These two people can sit firmly in the Ethereal Pavilion, and their identities must be good. The man is the owner of the Blue Turtle Banner of the Jade Dragon Palace of the Tianshan Mountains, Hu Yanba. The woman is the owner of the Fire Phoenix Banner, Dong Xiao'er.

It is worth mentioning that Dong Yuan, the master of the Jade Dragon Hall, is Dong Xiaoer's own brother.

Dong Yuan is the master of the Extreme Jade Dragon Hall, and he has made great achievements, but his sister is better than the blue. Although he is young, his martial arts and city government are above Dong Yuan, and his current status is also stronger than his brother. Therefore, when Dong Yuan saw Dong Xiao'er in front of outsiders, he had to call him "Dong Qi Master", and they would only be called brother and sister in private.

At this time, sitting opposite Hu Yanba and Dong Xiao'er was an "acquaintance" who had a relationship with Liu Xunyi.

The face is like a crown of jade, the body is like a straight pine, the speech is funny, and the demeanor is elegant, this person is one of the four masters of Jinjianwu, "God Operator" Song Yu.

Song Yu, as a person from Jin Jianwu, appeared in the pagan religion today, and the relationship between the two must be extraordinary.

"The reason why Cao Qin was able to retreat in Quanzhou is due to your honor. ”

A quiet and rich voice quietly came from the cabinet, and this voice came from the mouth of the Jade Dragon Palace Master. Just listen to his voice, like the old is not old, like the young is not young, it seems to be happy or not, it seems to be angry but not angry, Rao is a smart person like Song Yu, and it is difficult to distinguish his person through his voice.

Song Yu said humbly: "The master of the Cao hall went to Quanzhou on the order of the palace master, and the palace master was entrusted by the master of my family to help Yucheng in this matter, so helping the master of the Cao hall is helping me Jin Jianwu." As for the saying that 'the contribution is indispensable', it really makes me sincerely frightened, and I dare not bear it. ”

The "palace master" in Song Yu's mouth refers to the palace master of the Jade Dragon Palace in the Tianshan Mountains, Ren Wuya.

In fact, more than a month ago, the "inner ghost" who buried sulfur saltpeter in Jiangnan Lufu in advance and deliberately created chaos was Song Yu.

Jin Jianwu has always prided himself on being a famous and decent family, but now he has done such a shameless thing, if this matter is publicized, it will definitely cause an uproar in the rivers and lakes.

"The master of Jinwu is young but has such an achievement, he raises half of the martial arts, and aims to be in the world, and the old man appreciates him very much. The Lord of the Golden Sword Dock is now over forty years old, but he is still said to be "young" by Ren Wuya, which shows that his age is far above the Lord of the Golden Sword Dock.

Hearing this, Song Yu hurriedly bowed his hand and thanked him: "Thank you for the kindness of your predecessors for the dock master." If it weren't for the help of our predecessors this time, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to get back the stormy map. ”

Song Yu was extremely smart, and he changed "Ren Palace Master" to "senior" at the exit, which seemed to be an unintentional move, but in fact, he was secretly bringing the two families closer.

"The master of the golden dock sent ten thousand taels of gold and ten carts of beautiful jade, how could the old man refuse?" Ren Wuya said, "The gentleman has the beauty of an adult, since the lord of the golden dock is so fond of the storm and rain map, the old man should also help him get this picture." ”

"That's very good. Song Yu hesitated for a moment, showed a hint of embarrassment, and asked softly, "But I don't know if this picture is ...... now."

Dong Xiao'er looked up and down at Song Yu, who had an extraordinary appearance, and without waiting for Song Yu to finish speaking, she had already smiled and said: "The palace master said that if you take the picture today, he will definitely let you take the picture away, and Song Gongzi doesn't have to be anxious." Why don't you taste the unique snow tea of the Tianshan Mountains?" As she spoke, Dong Xiao'er raised the teacup and saluted Song Yu slightly, pretending to ask mysteriously, "Does Song Gongzi know how this snow tea was picked?"

"I would like to hear the teachings of Bishop Dong Qi. ”

"Don't dare to be. Dong Xiao'er stretched out a Qianqian jade finger, slowly rotated around the teacup, the slender nails dipped into the tea and gently picked up, then picked a piece of tea on her fingertips, she looked intoxicated and slowly sent it into her mouth, while tasting the fragrance of tea, while explaining, "I personally selected a hundred young women who have not yet gone out of the ordinary, they do not use their hands to pick tea, but use their teeth to bite off the tip of the tea piece by piece." From picking tea until Song Gongzi drank it, none of these tea leaves were contaminated with any dust, and they were all ......" Speaking of this, Dong Xiao'er suddenly stretched out the tip of her ruddy and smooth tongue, licked her red lips lightly with great charm, and said with a smile, "Word of mouth." ”

"Ahem......"

Song Yu suddenly coughed a few times when he heard this, and the tea he had just sent to his mouth was almost sprayed.

After comprehending Dong Xiao'er's "awesomeness", Song Yu didn't dare to provoke her again, just laughed dryly, quickly turned his gaze to Bai Sha, and hesitated: "On the way here, Song heard some news that someone knew the whereabouts of the stormy rain map, and also chased it to Huodu, but I didn't know ......."

"Are you talking about Cao Qin's son being kidnapped?" Ren Wuya replied lightly, "Don't worry, I have issued an order, as long as Cao Qin steps into the Jade Dragon Palace, he will immediately come to the Ethereal Pavilion." When the time comes, if he can't hand over the stormy rain map, the old man will kill him on the spot, not only return all the things he has received, but also compensate Jin Jianwu at three times the price. This is the old man's promise to the master of the golden dock, and he will never break his word. ”

"The seniors misunderstood, even if the master of the Cao Hall lost the stormy rain map, we would never dare to blame it in the slightest, let alone let the seniors return the things they received, and it should be a birthday gift from Jin Jianwu to the seniors. Song Yu seemed to hear a trace of displeasure from Ren Wuya's words, and hurriedly explained, "I was making a gaffe just now, and I hope that my seniors will forgive ......."

"Son, you can rest assured, the palace master sent a master down the mountain to pick up Cao Qin early this morning, and he will be foolproof. Dong Xiao'er said with a smile.

"Jin Linqi Ding Ao, ask to see the palace master!"

"Jade Tiger Hall Cao Qin, ask to see the palace master!"

Suddenly, the voices of Ding Ao and Cao Qin came from outside the Ethereal Pavilion, Song Yu's face was overjoyed, and he said secretly: "It's really 'Cao Cao, Cao Cao'."

At this time, Ding Ao changed his previous joking appearance, his expression was serious, his brows were furrowed, and he looked quite heavy. And Cao Qin, who was behind him, was trembling, his eyes flickering back and forth on Song Yu and the others.

Seeing this situation, Song Yu, Hu Yanba, and Dong Xiao'er were secretly taken aback at the same time, and their faces became a little strange.

"The palace master Tianbao Jiuru, long life is boundless!" Ding Ao and Cao Qin knelt in front of the white gauze and bowed respectfully, their tones quite timid.

"Did the journey go well?" asked Ren Wuya.

"This ......" Hearing this, Ding Ao's face became even more ugly, he knelt in front of the white gauze in a panic and looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated again and again, and then said with difficulty, "Return to the palace master, the storm and rain map is in the leaf forest...... Someone snatched ......."

......
