The shopkeeper smiled and said slowly: "I think how many heroes broke into the palace back then to compete for the martial arts cheats, and among the first batch of people to enter, there were many martial arts masters, but they suffered heavy casualties and few lives, so it can be said that the whole army was wiped out." Do you know why?"

"Unless they are all ambushed. "Thank God.

I thought that although the number of martial arts heroes was small, all of them were experienced and experienced people who had been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and they were more than enough to deal with the defenders in the city.

"That's right! Those martial arts heroes were ambushed, and later learned from the people who escaped that the palace was full of organs, hidden traps, and the automata including hidden weapons were even more unguardable, and these exquisite layout settings, ingenious works, were from the hands of Lingzhi Dao people!"

"It turns out that this Lingzhi Daoist is good at making mechanical secret weapons, laying out secret passages and the like. I don't know where this spiritual wisdom Dao person lives now?" Xie Tianxing asked.

The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed: "This Lingzhi Daoist was originally a royal craftsman in the palace of the previous dynasty, and after the destruction of the capital, no one has seen his trace again. ”

Then I heard the shopkeeper say: "It is rumored that there are also many organs in the palace of King Ning, if you ask Prince Ning to inquire about this person, maybe there is a clue." ”

"Thank you for telling me one or two, I'm leaving!" thanked Tianxing and turned to leave.

In the room on the second floor of the Fulai Inn, Ouyang Wan'er made a pot of new tea and brought it to Xie Tianxing's table, and sighed: "It's been these days, and I don't know what Uncle Gu Qing's situation is, and there is not even a little news!"

"The disciple of the Wuyue Sword Sect not only said on his deathbed that the person who started it was the Western Regions Poison Saint, but also pointed out that the direction in which everyone was running was Beiping Mansion, as long as we follow this clue to find it, we will always find clues of the enemy. "Thank God.

"Do you remember that Jiangnan Shuangjie's orphan entrusted me with a black iron box?"

"It's only been a few days, of course you remember! Could it be that you've found a Lingzhi Daoist?" Ouyang Wan'er said.

"I didn't find it, I just listened to the shopkeeper, if I went to inquire about the prince of Beiping Mansion, there were traces of Lingzhi Daoist. "Thank God.

Ouyang Wan'er's face was heavy and said: "King Naning is the king of the town, how can a high-ranking and powerful party be willing to meet people in the rivers and lakes like you and me. ”

"That's not necessarily, people in positions of authority can also have an approachable side. If you don't try, how do you know he'll turn people away?"

When he walked the rivers and lakes, he saw too many people in the market who were arrogant and domineering, and he also met many officials and nobles, who were amiable and modest. As for what kind of person Ning Wang Ye is, it is unknown at the moment.

Ouyang Wan'er said: "The life and death of Uncle Gu Qing and the disciples of the Shangqing Sect are uncertain, then the orphans of Jiangnan Shuangjie are just a one-sided relationship, Brother Xie really wants to see King Ning now?"

"If I have promised what others have entrusted me, how can I not be true to my word? After a short rest, I will go to see King Ning. "Thank God.

Ouyang Wan'er saw that he was stubborn, and no longer persuaded him, so she said: "There are many people in the palace of King Naning, and you have to be cautious and cautious in this trip!"

"Well, don't worry, girl. "Thank God.

Not long after, Xie Tianxing rode a horse to Ning Wangfu, turned a few streets, and saw that Naning Wangfu was in the city of Beiping Mansion, the government office was surrounded by river fences, the gate two stone lions were mighty and domineering, and the vermilion gate was guarded by two officers and soldiers, which was very majestic.

Xie Tianxing dismounted and stepped forward, and when the guard saw the stranger approaching, he shouted loudly: "Who is coming?

Xie Tianxing said: "Xie Tianxing, I want to ask Prince Ning for something, please report it!"

"I don't know anything about the heavens, if there is an official document of the court or an invitation to the palace, take it out, if not, consciously leave!" The guard saw that he was wearing a big sword on his back, and he was wearing a cloth shirt and said that he was a person in the rivers and lakes, and he only wanted to be sent away perfunctorily.

Xie Tianxing was at a loss, but he saw four big men not far away carrying the proud son over, and the two maids next to the proud son followed. After a short time, the group had already walked to the gate of King Ning's mansion.

But Wen Jiao said to the maid: "Madam, we are home." In a moment, the curtain was lifted and a young woman came down, with fair cheeks and a plump body. Xie Tianxing heard that the maid called her wife, presumably this woman was King Ning's wife.

The woman looked up and saw Xie Tianxing standing next to the stone lion, and asked curiously, "Who are you waiting for standing here?"

Xie Tianxing saw her ask herself, and said with her hands: "Xie Tianxing, I just have something to ask for advice here and wait for Prince Ning, presumably the prince is inconvenient to see me when he is in charge!"

The woman smiled and said, "The visitor is a guest, you can come in with me!"

"Thank you, ma'am!" said thank you.

At the moment, with everyone walked in, the maid led him to the guest hall to sit down, and soon a five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on his body, a dragon in front of him, two lines of golden dragons on each shoulder, and a man with a jade belt around his waist was about to come out, but he saw that he was burly, and his face was clean, and he was about forty years, and it was Ning Tiesheng, the king of the town, who guarded the domain.

Xie Tianxing saw him approaching and waved his hands, and said, "Thank you Tianxing, it is really a blessing to be able to see the true face of Prince Ning today." "Although he is a man in the rivers and lakes, he is not formal on weekdays, but at this time, he has to be respectful when he sees the prince.

"Haha...... I have admired Xie Daxia's heroic name for a long time, and today I really see a talent!" Ning Tiesheng said with a smile.

"King Ning has praised him!" thanked Tianxing.

"Let's sit down and talk, someone...... Offer tea to Xie Daxia. Ning Tiesheng shouted, his eyes staring directly at the sword on Xie Tianxing's body.

Xie Tianxing felt the strangeness in Ning Tiesheng's eyes, and said, "Lord Ning also knew this sword?"

"No...... When I first saw this sword wide and thick, the sword light was abnormal, but it was very different from other swords in the world, and I was just curious, which made Xie Daxia smile. Ning Tiesheng said.

"Prince Ning's official affairs are complicated, and he doesn't dare to delay the prince for a long time, so he came here today just to ask for advice!"

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Ning Tiesheng said.

"Has the prince ever known the Lingzhi Daoist?"

"Oh, I know this person, why are you looking for him?" Ning Tiesheng said.

"The prince knows just right, but he is dragged by a friend, and he needs to transfer one thing to the Lingzhi Daoist. "Thank God.

Ning Tiesheng hesitated for a moment and said, "That Lingzhi Daoist now lives in the east of the city, about three miles away from here in Mobei Mountain Villa, you can go and find him." However, Lingzhi Daoist has never seen outsiders, and whether Xie Daxia can see it depends on chance. ”

"Thank you Prince Ning for telling me the truth, and I am very grateful, and Tianxing will leave. Xie Tianxing turned around and left.

"Send off!" Ning Tiesheng shouted. An eerie smile appeared on his face in an instant.
