Chapter 217: The River Flows Outside the Peaks
Jiangliuji, a bazaar built on the mountain.
The early morning is the busiest time for Jiangliuji, and both cultivators and ordinary people will gather here.
The fisherman sells the fish he catches, and the cultivator selects the spiritual objects that he can see.
Today's Jiangliuji has an extraordinary liveliness, which is not because of the buying and selling of spiritual objects in the river, but because the river boat is about to rebuild the Interception Dragon Bridge.
The large and small sects in Wushan will send people to watch the ceremony, and the river flow set at this time is already overcrowded.
Ning Baifeng did not squeeze to the remnants of the bridge pier at the watershed of the river, but chose a teahouse with a high hill, and stood by the window to look at the boat-shaped building built on the reef in the center of the river and resembling a small island.
That is the lower sect of the twelve peaks of Wushan, the river boat.
After rushing to Jiangliuji last night, Ning Baifeng directly found an inn to rest, and by the way, he asked the innkeeper about the reconstruction of the Interception Dragon Bridge by the river.
When the sky was not dawn, the barrage had already sent people to Jiangliuji to clean up the site, and even laid a protective ban at the remaining piers of the once covered bridge, strictly prohibiting outsiders from stepping in.
The barrage boat is built in the center of the river, so there are two covered bridges, all of which are named the Interception Dragon Bridge, which spans both sides of the river and forms the trend of intercepting the river.
Anyone who walks in the river must pass under the covered bridge.
Its purpose is precisely to intercept the demon spirits who go to the river, and to do those things that buy road money.
However, in the last war, the covered bridge in front of the river was destroyed, and only the broken piers stood by the river.
As the sky is bright, the river sailed a small boat, sitting or standing on all kinds of people, soon after, several clear sounds resounded on the river, three Caifeng through the clouds and mist, flew to the sky above the barrage, Caifeng sat on the back of a few people, followed by a few cranes, a group of cranes flew in, stopped near Caifeng, the figure on the back of the crane immediately greeted the person on the back of Caifeng.
Wushan is famous for raising Lingfeng and cranes, only the Feifeng Peak and Juhe Peak in the twelve peaks, and the person in charge of the two peaks must come.
After a while, a cloud boat fell from the clouds, hovered on the side of the mountain, and then another painting boat flew in.
Ning Baifeng carefully flipped through the "Wushan Chronicles" last night, the twelve peaks of the mountain gate are different, the two peaks of Feifeng and Juhe know the car by name, the others are not the same, the cloud boat of Wangxia Peak, the painting boat of Cuiping Peak, the chessboard of Qiyun Peak, the mirror platform of Chaoyun Peak, the pine needle blanket of Songluan Peak and so on.
Among them, the sword cultivation of the rising peak is the most straightforward, coming directly from the sword, stopping in mid-air, mixed with various cars, which is extremely eye-catching.
A variety of cars arrive one after another, and the sun on the river is dappled and obscured.
The entire barrage was already surrounded by all kinds of cultivators, and just waiting for an order, they began to perform the ceremony of recasting the covered bridge.
Ning Baifeng was already frowning at this time.
As more and more people arrived, it was almost wishful thinking to save the spirit turtle Yuantai in full view.
Now that the robbery cannot be successful, it can only be done openly and honestly.
The construction of the covered bridge by barricade is nothing more than a road block, as long as you can afford the price, you should be able to buy the turtle Yuantai.
The only thing that can be done now is to contact the barrage in advance.
Thinking of this, Ning Baifeng immediately asked Nie Hongzhu to rush out of the window of the teahouse and fly to the reception of the barrage.
A man and a woman walked away, naturally attracting people's eyes, although at this time all kinds of cars are all over the sky, but the sword is the best way to reflect the strength, if you want the sword, the lowest must be the sword guts.
In Taoist terms, it is to step through that door, and it has become extraordinary, and it has become an immortal.
When he arrived at the reception, the steward who was in charge of receiving the visitors immediately came over, "The immortal master is coming, making this door shine, and please tell me the name, where is the fairy town." ”
Ning Baifeng asked Nie Hongzhu to put away his sword and said, "Ning Baifeng is a casual cultivator, and he took the liberty to visit the door to discuss something with your family. ”
At this time, everyone who came to block the river boat
It's to come to congratulate, and it's really unexpected to have something to discuss.
The steward looked at the two of them carefully, and then asked, "I wonder what the two of you have to discuss?"
Ning Baifeng shook his head, "It's about the covered bridge, you can't be the master, what I want to see is your master." ”
The steward nodded, "Please wait here." ”
The barrage welcomes guests at the head, which is paved with granite and has a radius of more than 10 zhang, for ships to dock.
At this time, there were many people standing at the head of the river, Ning Baifeng and Nie Hongzhu stood by the waterside of the port, there was no one around, they all stood on the other side on guard or fear, and then looked at the pair of men and women in white with curious eyes.
Ning Baifeng didn't care, just looked at the remnants of the bridge piers dozens of miles away, and watched some formation masters flatten the damaged parts and then set the formation foundation piles.
Nie Hongzhu raised his head slightly, looking at the two men in mid-air who were volleying with swords in mid-air.
The sword cultivation of the rising peak, although there is no surprise in the car, but the sword under the foot is more powerful than the cloud boat painting boat, mixed in all kinds of cars, extremely eye-catching.
Suddenly, the long sword on Nie Hongzhu's back emitted a sword sound.
Ning Baifeng immediately frowned.
Nie Hongzhu lowered his voice and said in a slightly panicked voice: "Childe, it's nearby!"
Ning Baifeng knew that this sentence did not refer to the sword cultivator who ascended the peak, not the imprisoned Yuan Tai, but the person he had been pursuing.
However, such a hint of sword sound, others thought it was impatient to wait.
The two sword cultivators in the air thought it was a sword salute.
Ning Baifeng turned his head slightly and looked around.
The boats on the river are striped, the river bank in the distance is crowded, and the floating cars on the river cover the sky and the sun.
In this case, it is even more difficult to find that person than to find the spirit turtle Yuantai.
Ning Baifeng said in a low voice: "Wait and see, he won't dare to make a move in this case." ”
The efficiency of the barrage was very slow, and the bridge building ceremony had not yet begun, but there was no reply from the steward.
Nie Hongzhu saw that the formation master at the bridge pier had already arranged the formation base, but there was no next move, not only on both sides of the river, but also the spectators of the twelve peaks in the air were waiting for something.
Nie Hongzhu asked softly, "Childe, why is this?" ”
Ning Baifeng looked up at the sky, thought for a moment, and replied, "Wait for someone." ”
Nie Hongzhu was surprised: "What kind of person has such a big face." ”
Ning Baifeng slowly spit out two words, "Qingdu!"
The barrage is the lower sect of the twelve peaks, and the twelve peaks are headed by the Qing capital, and now that the twelve peaks are all here, the only one who can let them continue to wait is the Qing capital.
The slowest way for time to pass is to wait.
When Ning Baifeng's patience was about to run out and he was about to break in, the steward who delivered the message came back and brought the news that Ning Baifeng wanted.
The barrage is festive and busy, but the shadows are heavily guarded.
Ning Baifeng met the owner of the barrage boat on the main platform of the head of the boat, a man with an ordinary face and simple clothes.
The owner of the barrage boat was extremely straightforward, and asked directly: "The reconstruction of the covered bridge is imminent, what do the two of you have to discuss?"
He agrees with these two, just because the other party has revealed the cultivation of the earth immortals, if it is the lower three realms, there is no need to wait for him to disagree, and the management will not pay attention to it.
Ning Baifeng waited for a long time, and didn't want to talk nonsense, so he clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "I want to redeem the spirit turtle that Guifang captured, it is my servant." ”
When the owner of the barricade heard this, he still felt very rude when he saw this person clasping his fists and saluting, at this time, he ran and said that the spirit turtle is your servant, and he wants to redeem it, no matter how you look at it, it looks like he is looking for trouble, so he refused, "It's just spring, it's not the time to fight the autumn wind, please go back!"
Ning Baifeng knew that he had mistaken himself for someone who had come to take advantage of the fire to rob.
Although the other party rebuilt the covered bridge in order to rob while the fire was burning, people who like to rob while the fire is burning do not necessarily like to be robbed by others, just like the bandits after the robbery do not want to see the bandits again, black eats black
It's always tiresome.
Ning Baifeng took out a jade plaque from his sleeve, and a sword qi was stimulated to it.
A turtle roared from the depths of the barrage.
Ning Baifeng said: "If I came to fight the autumn breeze, I would only take out things after the ceremony began, not now. ”
The barrage boat raises the beast, as the owner of the boat, he naturally knows what it is, and the chirp just now is precisely because of the call made by sensing the natal card.
"Your Excellency will really pick the time, if it was a few days ago, I would have promised you, but not now, the ceremony is about to begin, and the preparations for the sacrifice have been made, and it is impossible to stop. The owner of the barricade frowned and said, "It's better for Your Excellency to make an offer, and this boat will buy your servant, and you should have a good fate." ”
Redemption becomes a pawn in a blink of an eye, buyers become sellers, and the relationship between the two changes just like the ** and the morning glow in Wushan.
Ning Baifeng had already made such a mental preparation before he came, and said: "Since it is a good fate, my servant collided with your barricade, and the responsibility is naturally borne by me, the master, so it should not pay the price of its life." ”
This kind of statement means not giving in to each other, and the owner of the barricade doesn't want to talk about it anymore, so he beckons to call the disciples in the boat, "Send off the guests." ”
What about the earth immortals, at this time, the twelve peaks are coming, and the river boat can completely ignore it, he said so much before, but he didn't want to be blamed.
Ning Baifeng didn't leave, he came to take away the Spirit Turtle Yuantai, how could it be so simple to open.
It's like the owner of the barricade saying that the guest is a guest, and the one who comes is a guest, since he can't be a good guest, he can only be a bad guest.
Good guests are easy to send, but bad guests are difficult to invite.
Ning Baifeng took a step forward, but in the blink of an eye, he crossed a distance of several zhang and stood in front of the owner of the barricade, his left hand pinching the other party's neck.
Holding the owner of the barrage on the barrage looks like a joke no matter how you look at it, but it is such a joke, but it really happened in front of the disciples of the barrage.
The meeting between the owner of the barrage boat and the pair of earth immortal men and women was already in the attention of the disciples of the barrage, but at this time, the situation suddenly changed, and the disciples who reacted immediately rushed over and surrounded the head of the boat.
Today is a day that has attracted attention, even if the head of the barrage boat is ordinary, and his cultivation is only the qi realm in the lower three realms, he is still a high-profile existence, just because he is the lord of the barrage.
Therefore, as soon as the disciples of the river boat moved, it was like a boulder smashing into the river, and at the same time there was a splash, a loud bang sounded, and then everyone knew about it.
All the people who came to watch the ceremony did not expect that before the ceremony began, the owner of the barricade was actually hijacked.
The first to rush over were the two sword cultivators who were ascending to the peak.
At this time, Edgeworth's speed will naturally be faster than that of the car.
The two men who fell on the railing of the bow of the boat immediately shouted loudly.
"Presumptuous!"
"Stop!"
Ning Baifeng just looked at the owner of the barricade and ignored it.
Last night in the Jiangliuji Inn, when he asked the shopkeeper about the reconstruction of the covered bridge, he knew that today was the day to rebuild the covered bridge, so he sat at the table and thought about it all night.
The probability of redeeming the spirit turtle is very low, and the rest can only be robbed, and it is basically impossible to rob the spirit turtle in full view.
The only way to do it is to buy and sell by force, and the best person who can make the barrage willing to swap with the spirit turtle bid can only be the owner of the barrage.
That's why Ning Baifeng came from the previous sword and told the Jiang Fang that it was the Earth Immortal Sword Cultivator who came, increasing his chips and putting pressure on the other party.
The purpose is to meet the owner of the barrage.
Negotiation is just what Ning Baifeng wants to do the most, but if he can't negotiate, then he can only use force.
As for the judgment of the strength of the main body of the river, it was only at the moment of meeting that Ning Baifeng knew it with his sense of qi.
In the lower three realms, he has not yet stepped into the door of mystery.
Before he started, he only knew that the other party was cultivating, which was very risky, but at this time, Ning Baifeng could only take risks.
In fact, saving the spirit turtle Yuantai is even more of an adventure.
