Hancheng is named because it is located in the cold land in the north of Kunzhou.

Such a city that is cold all year round and snows all year round should be sparsely populated, but at this time it is full of people.

Just because dozens of miles behind the cold city is the world-famous Huiyuan Mountain.

Standing in any corner of the city, as long as you look up, you can see the cold fog that does not disperse all year round.

Whenever the sky clears occasionally, the cold mist lifts a little, revealing the majestic peaks within, and the pavilions on the peaks.

The people in the cold city often kneel on the ground and bow to the mountain peaks behind the cold mist.

Although the gods of the mountains will not fly out of the mountains to fulfill their requests, it still can't stop them from worshipping in the cold mist.

The reason why today's cold city is so lively is because of the mountain peaks in the cold mist.

Every time he returns to Yuanshan, he will open the mountain to receive disciples.

And tomorrow is the opening day.

Therefore, there are countless people who lead their younger generations to the cold city, waiting for the arrival of the opening day.

So at this time, at the gate of the cold city, there were already a lot of people waiting to enter the city.

However, the sword-wielding guards at the gate of the city did not let them go, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, the cold city is overcrowded, please find another place to rest." ”

Hearing such a shout, a voice of dissatisfaction instantly sounded in the crowd.

Even more impatient people rushed to the guards and tried to force their way in.

The conflict arose, but subsided in the blink of an eye.

The sword-wielding guard slashed off the troublemaker's head with a sword, and the warm blood spilled on the ground, rising in a puff of mist.

The people of the north of Suwen Kunzhou are fierce, and now they can be seen in general.

The companion of the slain man picked up the corpse, looked at the sword-wielding guard, and then turned away angrily, without saying a word of cruelty.

It's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare, the guards who come out of the sword, the peak of the three realms.

In terms of Kunzhou Beidi's nine grades of martial arts in the rivers and lakes, the sword guard is the top master of the six grades, and he is one step away from being the master of the rivers and lakes.

The man carrying the corpse on his back quickly disappeared into the crowd.

In front of the city gates, there was no more noise.

At this moment, a magnificent carriage squeezed through the crowd and marched to the city gates.

The richly dressed old man on the wheel took out a wooden sign, and after the sword guard saw the words on it, he instantly let him go.

The carriage slowly drove into the city under the gaze of countless people outside the city.

On the periphery of the crowd, a young man in white, wearing a bamboo hat, was already covered with a thin layer of snow.

A hunchbacked old man beside him was holding a wooden staff, looking at the carriage driving into the city, and sighed: "The power of power is not exempt from vulgarity for cultivators." ”

When a man in a shabby cotton jacket beside the hunchbacked old man heard this, he also sighed and said: "Who said no, the Heshuo Liu family is powerful, although there has never been a fairy among the gods, but there are still two grandmasters, especially Liu Yue, the old man of the Liu family, that is the great grandmaster of the Yuanshen, can he not be big." ”

The young man wearing a bamboo hat looked at the man and said with a smile: "The Liu family is here, presumably to worship in Huiyuan Mountain. ”

The man tightened the torn cotton jacket on his body, rubbed his hands and said: "No, Shuobei has spread all over the country, saying that it is a junior named Liu Sheng of the Liu family, who was passed by by the gods on the mountain, took a fancy to his qualifications, and asked him to come here to worship the mountain." ”

The young man looked at the other party's shivering appearance, took off the wine jug on his waist, handed it over, and asked, "My friend is here to worship the mountain?"

The man was surprised for a moment, then hesitated for a moment, took the flask and tasted it gently, his eyes lit up, and he was about to drink again, but he stopped.

The young man nodded, it's fine.

The man immediately took a big sip and said: "I'm forty years old, and I have long lost hope of cultivating, I just came here to see the excitement, but now I can't see the excitement, so I still want to find a snow nest to stay overnight, and go back to the house tomorrow." ”

The young man watched the other party return the flask and asked, "Don't take another sip?"

Although the man was still a little infatuated in his eyes, he still shook his head and said: "When we meet in Pingshui, it is already fate to drink wine, and if you drink more, you don't know how high or low." ”

The young man did not force it, and took the flask and hung it around his waist.

The man looked at the young man, thought for a while, and said: "Twenty miles east of the cold city, there is an unfrozen river flowing out of the mountains, if the little brother has nowhere to spend the night, it is better to go to the river to find a farmer to spend a while, it is better than sleeping in the wilderness." ”

The young man smiled and nodded.

The man hugged his fists, hugged the torn cotton jacket on his body, and turned to leave.

A gust of wind and snow blew, and the man's figure disappeared.

The hunchbacked old man with a wooden staff looked at the man

Lost place, squinted his eyes and said: "The worship in the martial temple came to be a lobbyist, are the gods here so idle?" ”

The young man said angrily: "It's not that your movement is too big, let's go, go to the river to have a look, and winter fishing is not bad by the way." ”

The woman in white behind the young man was surprised: "Childe, why don't you go into the city?"

The hunchbacked old man smiled: "Then you have to go in, the city god doesn't hide in the temple to sleep in the daytime, and runs to the city gate tower to be the door god. ”

When the woman in white heard this, she looked up at the tall city gate tower, where a man with the appearance of a scribe stood under the eaves.

The young man lifted the bamboo hat on his head, glanced at the scribe obliquely, and then turned his head to the east.

They were Ning Baifeng, Yuan Tai and Nie Hongzhu who took the ferry north and got off at the Xifeng Valley ferry in front of Hancheng.

As the three of them walked away, the scribe standing under the eaves frowned, his gaze lingering on the hunchbacked old man.

The city god shelters a place and is most sensitive to demonic things.

Although the cold city is close to Huiyuan Mountain, there are very few demon spirits, but in the nearby unfrozen river, nourished by the spiritual energy overflowing from Huiyuan Mountain, there are still some essences.

Although those spirits can't move as a city god, and he has to keep them for those children in the mountains to practice, it doesn't prevent him from becoming familiar with these things.

The scribe looked at the distant back and muttered, "What a heavy dragon qi, it's really a strong dragon crossing the river." ”

Suddenly, a gaze came from the snow in the distance.

The scribe immediately tensed.

Nie Hongzhu, who was walking in the snow, saw the hunchbacked old man turn around, and asked curiously, "What's the matter, Uncle Yuan?"

Yuan Tai turned his head and said with a smile: "It's nothing, say hello to someone." ”

Ning Baifeng said with a smile: "Don't scare that City God, being a City God here, there is a bigger mountain on it, and it is not easy for him to live." ”

Yuan Tai said: "When I went to the river, I had to deal with these gods and goddesses at every turn, and I almost became a habit, so I had to change it, and if the young master lived here for a long time in the future, I would have to deal with them, and it would be better to be harmonious and make money." ”

Ning Baifeng shook his head helplessly.

It is said that the turtle is gentle, and after getting along for so long, the hunchbacked old man can be called a little domineering in temperament.

Jumping over the dragon gate, the turtle shell is wrapped in the body of a dragon, and it is indeed not disgraceful.

......

......

Twenty miles is not difficult for the three of them.

In the cedar forest by the unfrozen river, Ning Baifeng found a mound to shelter from the wind and snow and rested.

Yuan Tai walked to the river, bent down and reached into the water, and after a moment he lifted a fat river fish empty-handed.

Ning Baifeng took off the bamboo hat on the top of his head and patted it, shook off the snow on it, and said: "With you here, fishing is no fun at all, whether there are fish or not, how big the fish are hooked, it all depends on your mood." ”

Yuan Tai unraveled the fish empty-handed, and said with a smile: "No way, I just don't do anything, these fish will run towards me." ”

The group of fish and dragons is the nature of the aquatic creatures, the young man smiled helplessly and said no more.

After getting the fish right, Yuan Tai walked back.

On the snow at this time, Nie Hongzhu had already packed up a pile of firewood, and even set up a soup pot.

Yuan Tai stretched out his hand and stroked the fish, and a transparent thin slice of fish meat was pinched between his fingers, and then he handed it to the young man and said, "This fish has an excellent taste when eaten raw, do you want to taste it, young master." ”

Ning Baifeng thought about it and shook his head.

Yuan Tai didn't care, stuffed the fish slices into his mouth, and chewed them carefully with satisfaction.

When the water in the soup pot is hot, Yuantai puts the fish into the pot and lets it boil slowly.

After a few moments, a rich smell of fish wafted up.

Nie Hongzhu immediately filled it with 10,000 yuan and handed it to the young man in white, and then filled a bowl and handed it to Yuan Tai, who just sat on the side, setting the fire.

Yuan Tai took the fish soup that was handed over and was about to take a sip when he suddenly turned his head to look at the upper reaches of the river.

Ning Baifeng held the bowl and also looked at the first side.

On the surface of the river, where the water was originally gentle, huge waves were surging.

On the riverbank, several men with swords shouted loudly and ran forward with the tide.

Yuan Tai was surprised: "This is also okay?"

Ning Baifeng sighed and said, "It is said that with a fishing rod, you want to show your hand, and you can't even drink hot soup now." ”

Yuan Tai immediately poured the hot fish soup into his mouth, put down the bowl, got up and said, "Young master, do you want to show your hand again." ”

Ning Baifeng bowed his hand, "Forget it, the city god and the martial temple are estimated to be still there."

Keep an eye on it, you can cause less trouble, after all, this place is also back to the foot of Yuan Mountain. ”

Yuantai shook his head regretfully, turned around and went to serve the soup again.

While the two were talking, the waves in the water had already rushed here, and then stopped, and a big fish jumped up in the waves, shouting for help to the hunchbacked old man on the shore.

At the same time, eight men and women with swords ran here, and they were a little surprised to see the three people sitting on the shore.

Yuan Tai ignored the big fish that kept jumping up for help, and still drank the soup.

After the woman at the head saw the situation clearly, she said to the hunchbacked old man: "The disciples of Huiyuan Mountain are here to eliminate demons, and I also ask you to make it convenient." ”

Yuan Tai looked at this woman with a good face but a cold expression, and said with a smile: "You are busy with yours, we just look at it, and promise not to interfere." ”

The woman with a cold expression frowned slightly, and was about to say something, but there was an exclamation from her companion next to her.

The big fish in the river saw that there was no way to ask for help, and instantly prepared to flee downstream.

When he was upstream, he was surrounded by these people, but he inadvertently sensed a different qi in the water, and immediately fled here.

I thought I could find a backer, but I didn't expect it to be a person who couldn't be saved.

Seeing this, the woman immediately did not dare to slack off, and immediately issued an order, "Get out of the sword rope and block the river!"

As the words fell, several other men and women immediately showed the silver bracelets in their hands.

The bracelets let out a clang, then instantly burst out of their hands, forming sword-shaped ropes that intercepted the river upstream and downstream.

The big fish immediately dived, but after a few moments it came up, apparently the river was also blocked by a sword rope.

The woman commanded again, "Dry Water Charm!"

Immediately, four people threw out the talismans, and two spilled their nets.

Several people cooperated with each other, without panicking at all, and obviously had discussed countermeasures before coming.

Ning Baifeng drank the fish soup and looked at the eight people with interest.

From the point of view of cultivation, the woman has just stepped into the Qi Gathering Realm, and several other people are hovering on the threshold of the Qi Gathering Realm, and they have not yet stepped into the lower three realms, but it is only a matter of time.

But a few people are extremely sharp, and by the standards of secular rivers and lakes, they are already young and handsome.

Therefore, among the eight people, only this woman can use sword control.

As the talisman enters the water, the surface of the river immediately descends until it bottoms out, revealing the silt in the river.

Although the big fish kept jumping and dodging, they were still tied up by two fishing nets.

Then several other people pulled the net together and pulled the big fish to the snow on the shore, only a few zhang away from the resting place of Ning Baifeng.

After the giant fish came ashore, it didn't rest for a moment, it kept jumping and trying to attack with the tail of the fish, and kept shouting: "Old Ancestor, can you really bear to watch our disciples and grandchildren being killed by these people, help, Old Ancestor." ”

Such a shout made the eight men and women immediately on guard.

After all, it is already taboo to get rid of demons in front of strangers, although this is near Huiyuan Mountain, but you still need to be vigilant.

Yuan Tai listened to the call and said with a smile: "You are really good at climbing relationships, and you are cheeky enough." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at the female named woman again, "You go on, I have nothing to do with this beast." ”

Ning Baifeng drank a mouthful of fish soup in his mouth and immediately squirted out.

You call that fish a brute, so what are you?!

Yuan Taile drank the fish soup hehehe, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his words.

Due to distraction, a woman was unfortunately hit by a fishtail and vomited blood and fell into a snowdrift.

One person was missing, and the corner of the eight-person siege immediately revealed a flaw.

Immediately afterwards, the entire formation was disrupted, and two more people were beaten and vomited blood and fell to the ground.

The woman at the head knew that if she continued like this, she would definitely not be able to get rid of the demon, but the whole army would be wiped out, so she immediately rushed forward and blocked the fishtail blow for a woman, and then the corners of her mouth were bloodshot, and she adjusted her vitality, and the long sword in her hand immediately flashed with sword light, and with a wave of her hand, the long sword in her hand immediately divided into nine blades, which were constantly cut on the giant fish.

The scales cracked, the blood flowed, the giant fish was in pain, and jumped high in anger, and then the fish's tail slapped down like an iron fan.

The woman holding the sword was a little unwilling in her eyes, and she ran around for several days, and finally trapped the fish, but she didn't expect that her strength was not enough, but she would die under the fish's tail.

Ning Baifeng knew that if the fishtail was filmed, even if the woman did not die, she would be seriously injured or even disabled.

With a sword roar, a black light flew out, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to the bamboo tube.

When I went back and forth, it seemed that nothing had been done.

However, the woman who raised her sword and was about to carry it hard did not wait for the giant tail to be photographed.
