In the southern and central part of Kunzhou, a group of mountains stretches for thousands of miles, and countless dangerous peaks are located in the middle, and the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

A jade-like river meanders through the mountains, bringing endless fairy spirit to the mountains.

This place is Wushan, and the winding way is the Tianxu River.

Wushan does not refer to a single mountain, but a general term for this group of mountains.

Among them, the twelve peaks on both sides of the river are the most famous.

The twelve peaks of Wushan are all in the clouds and mist.

Ning Baifeng stood on the observation deck on the top floor of the cloud boat, but he didn't have the heart to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the twelve peaks of Wushan at this time.

On the jade plate in his hand, the two points of light seemed to be very close to each other, but they had never met for more than a month, and even one of the points of light was slowly dimming.

There are two explanations for such a situation, one is death and the other is disappearance.

Death and disappearance seem to be very similar, but in essence, they have two meanings, and they will naturally disappear after death, but disappearing is not necessarily death, and it may also be hidden by something.

As he entered Wushan, the point of light on the jade plate became darker and darker, as if it was blocked by those clouds and mist until it was completely gone.

Ning Baifeng put away the jade plate, turned his head to look at the surrounding clouds and mist, and wanted to see through these clouds and mists and find that person, but there were only mountains and clouds in his eyes, and a pretty face.

This face covered the clouds and mist in the middle of the mountain, looked at him with a smile, and said: "Childe, the front is the broken intestine ferry of Wangxia Peak in Wushan, we can finally get off the boat." ”

Ning Baifeng looked at the woman's pretty face, but what he thought was something else, "Hongzhu, can you sense that connection." ”

Nie Hongzhu's smile converged, closed his eyes for a moment, and after thinking slightly, he said: "It seems to be nothing, it feels very close, but it seems to be far away, because it should be somewhere in this group of mountains." ”

Ning Baifeng sighed, looking for someone in the vast mountains is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

When the ferry returns, it will eventually dock.

The broken intestine ferry is built on the cliff of the halfway of Wangxia Peak, several trestle bridges are built in the air, stretching out of the cliff for more than ten zhang, several of which have docked several ferries, and the shape is different.

The cloud boat pressed the head of the cloud and was flush with the suspended trestle that stretched out from the broken intestine ferry.

Wushan is more **, when you go down to the trestle, the fine rain falls on the shoulders of pedestrians.

Walking on the ferry, which was busy with pedestrians, Ning Baifeng didn't have much of the heart to look at the shops on both sides of the street behind the ferry, and after asking Lifu at the ferry where the Jianwentang was, he went straight forward.

When passing by a restaurant, a burst of fragrant wine fragrance wafted in, and even the gentle and fine rain could not cover the wafting of this wine fragrance.

Ning Baifeng stopped, turned his head to look at the restaurant sign, and remembered a sentence.

There is a lot of talk between the teacups, and there are many things in the wine bowl.

Nie Hongzhu stretched out his hand and lifted the corner of the fence, and chuckled: "Childe, after eating dry food on the boat for so many days, why don't you go and change the taste?"

Ning Baifeng thought for a moment and nodded, "It's okay." ”

Entering the restaurant, Ning Baifeng asked for a private seat by the window and ordered two signature dishes in the building.

When the young man in white said that he would have some wine, he quickly set up the dishes and said with a smile: "What kind of wine does the guest officer want?" ”

Ning Baifeng didn't move his chopsticks, and asked with a smile: "What is the explanation of Jiangzhong Qingliu, and what is the difference?"

The restaurant opened near the Xianjia Ferry, and Xiao Er was used to talking about it, and said with a smile: "Here in our Wushan, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the mountains are good, and the water is good, especially the wine made from the rootless spring in the Qingquan Peak, it is the best product in the wine, even if the wine is poured into the river, the wine and the river water will not blend, which has the reputation of the clear stream in the river." ”

Ning Baifeng listened to Xiao Er's words and said with a smile: "Then take a pot and taste it." ”

Xiao Er was happy

shouted hello and turned to get the wine.

Nie Hongzhu sat across the table, watching Ning Baifeng through the curtain fence and not moving his chopsticks, so he took the initiative to clip a chopsticks of fresh fish to Ning Baifeng.

She herself is no longer a human being, so naturally she doesn't need to eat or drink, and the reason why she proposed to come in is just to let Ning Baifeng relax.

For more than a month, trapped on the ferry, Ning Baifeng practiced in addition to eating and drinking.

The left hand holds the pebbles, and the right hand uses the finger of the sword as a pen.

Practice qi, practice calligraphy, practice sword, and practice all three.

Nie Hongzhu knew the reason, but it was not easy to persuade him.

Ning Baifeng put the fish in his mouth and tasted it carefully, then turned his head to look out the window.

The restaurant is built on the mountain, from here, the mountain is high and the valley is deep, the humidity that does not disperse, rises along the hillside, sometimes forms floating clouds and drizzle, in the clouds and mist, sometimes turns into rolling dark clouds, sometimes becomes a vast white mist, and the distant mountain peaks appear and disappear from time to time, and it is beautiful.

The shopkeeper came to a bright white porcelain pot and said with a smile: "Guest officer, our store is a good place to drink and enjoy the scenery. ”

Ning Baifeng retracted his gaze from the two highest peaks and asked, "Little brother, how far is it from the Dragon Gate here?"

Xiao Er put down the wine jug and said with a smile: "Not far away, along the river upstream, about a hundred miles is the Dragon Gate, the two guest officers have this question, presumably also for the once-in-a-century dragon." ”

Ning Baifeng took the wine jug and filled the two white porcelain wine glasses, put them down in front of Xiao Er, and motioned for him to sit down and said.

The shopkeeper looked at the main cabinet, shook his head and smiled: " Don't dare to drink with the guests, the guest officer drinks slowly, although the dragon is now very big, in fact, it is still very early, but some time ago, there are successively that big things go to the river, the noise is not small, it is said that from the mouth of the sea to our place, there are many rivers and temples on both sides of the river have been collapsed, many countries along the way have been flooded, especially in the downstream Dongyang Lake, there is a big fight, the Dongwei Sect by the lake was directly destroyed by several big things that go to the river, if it were not for the master of the nearby Weishan Academy to get angry, it is estimated that the Dongyang Lake will have to turn into an ocean for hundreds of miles。 A little ahead, the dragon interception bridge of the river boat was also collapsed, and even the dragon sword hanging under the bridge became a trophy of Bai Jiao, and now many ruthless characters have rushed to the Qianlong Yuan, just waiting for the dragon gate to open, and then turn into a dragon and ascend to heaven. ”

The shopkeeper said these things in one breath, exhaled heavily, and licked his slightly dry lips.

Ning Baifeng glanced at the main cabinet and glanced at Xiao Er.

The shopkeeper immediately understood, thinking that this guest officer was really on the road.

The right hand leans over to pour the wine, and the left hand lifts the wine glass, and a glass of clear wine is drunk into the mouth, and there is no trace between the glasses.

Ning Baifeng raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, "Little brother, the barrage boat is famous for its beasts, what are the Dragon Interception Bridge and the Dragon Slaying Sword." ”

The reason why I have this question is that I think of the Kurong Diaoyu I met in the abyss, and this person was born in the barrage.

Xiao Er wiped his mouth with the wet towel on his shoulder, cleared his throat and said with a smile: "There are countless things in the Tianxu River, and you can't always go out to kill the beasts, so two covered bridges were built on the river boat, and there were swords hanging under the bridges, the purpose was to intercept the river, search for benefits, intercept the river with a covered bridge, and kill the dragon with a pendant." ”

Ning Baifeng picked up the wine glass, took a sip to his lips and took a sip slowly, and was about to ask carefully, when the main cabinet was already shouting, Xiao Er immediately confessed and beckoned the other guests to go.

Nie Hongzhu pinched the chopsticks and picked up the vegetables for Ning Baifeng, and said, "Childe, how can the second child of this shop know this?"

Ning Baifeng put down the wine glass, squinted slightly, as if tasting the wine, and said after a while: "Many of the hyacinths in the Wentang are the second in the restaurant, the little girl in the teahouse, and the maid in the Qinglou, and only these places have the most complicated news, and only these people will pay more attention to these, which is not only for fun, but also to attract business for the store." ”

Nie Hongzhu was surprised: "What is the meaning of the existence of the Jianwen Hall. ”

Ning Baifeng shook his head and explained: "

These messages are close to rumors, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and they are sketchy, and if you want to know the details, you can only go to Jianwentang. ”

Nie Hongzhu is not stupid, he can understand it at one point, "The news of the Wentang is like an official announcement, and the restaurant and tea shop are just rumors after all." ”

Ning Baifeng filled another cup, drank it all in one gulp, and said, "That's right, but just now Xiao Er revealed another piece of information." ”

Nie Hongzhu thought for a moment, "Turning into a dragon?"

Ning Baifeng nodded and said, "At first, I didn't understand why Fu Shanhe took away the hanging sword, and then ran here again, but now it seems that it must be to kill the dragon." ”

Nie Hongzhu was puzzled, "What do you do to kill the dragon?"

The wine glass in Ning Baifeng's hand stopped.

Slaying the dragon sounds heroic, but it is actually extremely dangerous.

At the beginning, on the Lei Peng ferry, there was a man who had entered the immortals, and he slashed the dragon in the sea with a long knife in one hand, but he was still seriously injured afterwards.

Suddenly, Ning Baifeng was stunned, and suddenly came to his senses, "Heal your wounds?

"Jiaolong is a treasure. ”

Ning Baifeng raised his voice and exclaimed, "Slaying the dragon is to heal his wounds!"

The voice was a little loud, and several tables not far from the elegant seat heard this exclamation, and they all looked this way.

Even the shopkeeper who served wine to the other tables looked at the white-clothed woman with a long sword on her back and the young man with a picture scroll on her back, thinking that these two guest officers were really brave.

Ning Baifeng immediately came to his senses and kept his mouth shut.

The other guests showed a faint mockery and stopped looking.

The Dragon Gate has stood here for countless years, except for the Qing Capital, how many people can slay the dragon?

Ning Baifeng put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine jug, and began to drink slowly, thinking about what Lin Yuyuan said before leaving, as well as the problems he was about to face.

After a while, the clear stream of wine in the wine pot was drunk, Ning Baifeng reached out and touched his waist, picked off the pot between the flowers, and just came to his mouth to drink it, but found that the pot was empty.

Ning Baifeng poured the pot between the flowers, and a silkworm as white as jade slipped out and was caught by Ning Baifeng.

Ning Baifeng was stunned, wine worm.

Nie Hongzhu looked at the silkworm that came out of the pot between the flowers with some surprise, didn't understand what was going on, and looked at it in a daze.

Just when the two of them were stunned, the fluorescent light on the wine worm's body shone slightly, and in the blink of an eye, it penetrated into Ning Baifeng's palm like water and disappeared.

Ning Baifeng reacted immediately, and his right hand instantly pressed on his arm, and the sword qi surged.

After a while, Ning Baifeng let go of his hand, "Hongzhu, look around!"

Nie Hongzhu immediately got up and stood beside Ning Baifeng.

Ning Baifeng looked inward.

In the sea of qi, the sword gall has already been repaired, and it is even a few points more condensed than when it was just condensed, and the cultivation in the Hanging Sword Mountain and the cultivation on the cloud boat have a significant effect.

A white and fat silkworm nested on the sword gall, and breathed pulsates with the law of heaven and earth.

In the sky above the wine worm, a purple jade sword was suspended in the air, and on the tip of the sword, a drop of sword liquid was dripping.

At this time, a sword gall, a white silkworm, a drop of sword liquid, and a sword formed a strange picture in the sea of qi.

The sword liquid was like dew hanging on the green leaves in the early morning, pulling the leaves to droop continuously, and finally falling at a certain critical point.

The sword liquid dripped on the back of the wine worm, and then penetrated into it, and the white wine worm instantly swelled, and then wisps of white silk oozed from the abdomen and feet, merging into the sword gall.

The thought moved slightly, and a white thread flew away.

Nie Hongzhu stood at the table, and suddenly drew his sword and crossed it in front of his chest.

There was a bang.

Nie Hongzhu took a few steps backwards and hit a pillar, and the entire restaurant shook in an instant.

Ning Baifeng opened his eyes.

When he got up, the chair under the seat instantly shattered into sawdust.
