The sun slowly rises in the east, and a new day begins.

The streets of Yulin City are crowded with people at this moment, and the people of the city are rushing to the center of the city, and there are several scenes of rushing to the temple fair.

Yu Shuang and Yu Xueying, brother and sister, were surging forward in these bustling crowds at the moment, he took Yu Xueying's little hand and said to his sister: "Don't run around later, you know?"

Yu Xueying stuck out her tongue at him, and said a little impatiently: "I know, I know! You have told Ying'er for the fifth time." ”

Yu Shuang shook her head helplessly, knowing that her sister was very active, she couldn't help but grab her sister's hand a little tighter, at this moment the streets were crowded, and they were much taller than them, if they were separated, I was afraid that it would be difficult to find.

After walking for about half an hour, the two of them came to the "light platform" in the city, to be precise, they were bustling with the ragged city people.

Although they were crowded close, there was a lot of noise and uproar here, and the two of them couldn't see what the crowded center of the platform looked like. The crowd around was chattering and noisy, and their ears seemed to be buzzing.

Yu Xueying jumped twice, but she was too short to see anything at all.

She looked around and saw an uncle behind her, her eyes flashed, and she had an idea at the moment. She pulled Yu Shuang, pointed to an old locust tree not far away, and said loudly, "Brother, let's go climb that old locust tree." ”

Yu Shuang glanced at the place where she pointed out, and saw that the old locust tree was a little far away from the field, and the crowd there was not as crowded as here, he smiled bitterly, glanced at Yu Xueying, and said, "You have a lot of ideas." ”

Yu Xueying stuck out her tongue at him, laughed, and pulled Yu Shuang to squeeze quickly in the direction of the big tree.

This old locust tree has lush branches and shriveled bark, and although it is old, it is quite tall.

Climbing a tree is naturally not a difficult task for Xue Ying, after all, Yu Shuang is also a cultivator in the world, although he doesn't know the Tao, but he still doesn't lose a few points to his sister in terms of physical strength.

Soon, the two climbed up the tree, sat down on a thick trunk, and looked sideways into the field.

I saw the head of the person under the tree towering, the center of the field surrounded by the head of the man, there is a silver-white jade platform made of jade, about one person high, three zhang square, the center of the jade platform is written with a striking "Dao" word, the strokes are vigorous and powerful, quite a bit of majesty.

There are four masts erected at the four corners of the jade platform, and there is a red paper and black characters hanging on each of them, because it is far away, and the morning wind floats, Yu Shuang can not see the handwriting on it clearly.

Thirty steps to the south of the jade platform, there is a high platform made of wood, about two zhang higher than the jade platform, there are three chairs on it, there is a primary and secondary division, and a small wooden table is placed next to it, and a few tea sets are placed on it.

Yu Shuang thought to herself, it should be the "viewing platform" where the city lord or powerful people sit.

On this high platform, there is a couplet in black and white letters, on which are written four eye-catching characters: Helping the people with the Tao.

At this moment, the surrounding area of the jade platform seems to be surrounded by water, whether it is on the jade platform or on the high platform, it is empty at the moment, and there is no one in sight.

At this time, a few ragged citysemen under the tree were talking about something, and the citykeeper A said: "It's time for this, the competition should begin, right?"

Chengmin B glanced at Taichung and said, "It stands to reason that it should be about to start, but why don't you see a single figure?"

Chengmin C took over the conversation and said: "I just heard that there is something going on in the palace of Prince Pan recently, it seems that he is sick and wants to abstain, but he is willing to donate 1,000 taels of silver to the people in the city, I don't know if the news is reliable." ”

Cheng Minjia shook his head, sighed and said: "Pan Gongzi has always been benevolent and righteous, if he is really sick and wants to abstain, it will naturally not be wrong to donate silver." But why didn't you see the Huang family's 'Four Heroes of Yulin'? I didn't even see the figure of the Nie City Lord. ”

Yu Shuang's face was a little happy when she heard this, and she couldn't help but have a little admiration for Pan Xincheng in her heart, and she really wanted to see him as soon as possible and tell him about her mother's last wishes.

Just as he was thinking, suddenly from the east of the jade platform, several figures slowly floated from the sky and landed on the wooden platform.

The first one looked about thirty years old, with long hair and a shawl, and was dressed in a fiery red robe, which looked gorgeous and gorgeous, and at first glance he knew that it was not an ordinary costume.

He was followed by seven figures, and one person immediately behind him attracted Yu Shuang's attention, he was dressed in silver and white, dignified and solemn, holding a jade fan, looking graceful and heroic.

Yu Shuang Deng felt that this person was quite similar to his father. Because they were a little far away, Yu Shuang couldn't see their demeanor and appearance clearly.

Next to him stood four men dressed in the same style of gray robes, four of them with strange appearances, tall and thin, standing side by side. They each held four blades, "a sword, a knife, a hammer, and a fork." Yu Shuang thought in her heart that this should be Pan Xincheng's opponent "Yulin Four Heroes".

The red-robed man stood first, his hands behind his back, and a long black beard hanging down his chest under his lips. Standing so normally, it seems that there is a kind of momentum that is not angry but mighty. Standing close to him on either side of him, both of them were men in pale yellow clothes, looking personable and majestic. Yu Shuang thought that these two people should be the personal guards of the man in red robes.

When everyone in the audience saw these figures, they were in an uproar, and when the uproar fell, the red-robed man took a step forward and said slowly: "The people of Yulin City, Nie has been in charge of this Yulin City for more than 20 years. These are inseparable from Nie's right-hand man. Saying that, he turned around and glanced at Pan Xincheng and the four heroes of Yulin behind him, turned around and continued: "Nie is not talented, every time I think back to the first time I arrived in Yulin City, the people were hungry and had no clothes, and my heart ached. ”

Speaking of this, his voice was slightly bitter, he muttered for a while, and said slowly: "Nie has been cultivating for decades, and he took over the commission of the previous city lord in line with the belief of protecting the territory and the people, and the common people are in harmony. This is the most proud part of Nie's life, so ten years ago, he set up the move of 'meeting friends with Taoism'. Its purpose is to meet more like-minded people and contribute to the common people in the world. At present, the two factions of the righteous and the demon are constantly in dispute, and the lives are ruined, although Nie is not talented, if the two ways of the righteous and the demon want to damage my Yulin City, Nie is fighting for his life, and he must protect everyone. ”

"Lord Nie Cheng said seriously. ”

"City Lord Nie has the grace of rebuilding Yulin City, long live City Lord!"

"You're our new parent!"

There was an uproar in the audience, and there were different opinions, and for a while, the gratitude and admiration for the city lord came like a tide.

When the two brothers and sisters heard it in their ears, they also admired this Nie City Lord, and it was not easy to keep a peaceful party in this troubled world. Moreover, as a cultivator, the Lord of Nie City is willing to sacrifice his life for his people, which is really touching.

At this time, a cold snort suddenly came from under the tree, which was very disdainful, and Yu Shuang listened to it in his ears, which was especially incompatible with the uproar of the people in the city, and it was really a little harsh.

Yu Shuang's expression was suffocated, and he leaned over to look, but he saw that at some point, there were three more beautiful and dusty figures less than ten steps under the tree, they were a man and two women, each riding a white horse.

The first woman looked similar in age to Yu Shuang, but she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, holding a red sword with a striking white cloud carved on the scabbard, which looked quite fairy.

She was dressed in white like snow, her hair was like a cloud, her cold face had a hint of disdain, and a pair of cold eyes looked coldly at the city lord Nie who was speaking in Taichung.

Yu Shuang had never seen such a beautiful face since she was a child, just by looking at her, she felt that the cold meaning was deep into the bone marrow. As if sensing Yu Shuang's gaze, the woman's bright eyes suddenly turned and looked at him.

The moment they looked at each other, Yu Shuang seemed to be in the extreme south of the southern country, a deep chill hit from all directions, he held his breath, it seemed that only those eyes were left between heaven and earth, those sharp and cold eyes.

The breeze swept by, and the tips of the woman's sideburns slanted on her jade-like cheeks, and her eyes were as clear as water, and she looked at him quietly.

Yu Shuang seemed to instinctively look away, there was a hot feeling on her face, and she was unconsciously breathing a lot faster.

He was even more inexplicably apprehensive in his heart, although the glance at each other, although it was only a moment, how long was a moment? But he clearly felt that those eyes seemed to see the depths of his heart, for no reason, Yu Shuang actually had a feeling of jealousy of this woman in his heart.

"Brother, what's wrong with you, why are you sweating so much?" Yu Xueying suddenly turned her head and looked at him with concern.

"Huh?" Yu Shuang was taken aback, raised his eyes to look at his sister, only to see that his sister was looking at him with a puzzled expression, and he hurriedly muttered and explained, "No, I ...... I'm fine, it's okay, it's just a little hot. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the woman under the tree, and found that the woman had already looked away, and did not seem to move.

Yu Xueying's eyes blinked, but she didn't care, and looked at the field again.

Yu Shuang breathed a long sigh of relief, calmed down for a while, and suddenly heard a woman's voice from under the tree: "Senior Sister Yang, do you have any opinion of this Nie City Lord?"

The sound is as crisp and pleasant as the singing of a yellow bird, and it shocks people's spirits when they hear it.

Yu Shuang sat on the tree and looked down, but saw that the woman who spoke was fair-skinned, smiling, riding a handsome white horse, standing behind the cold woman.

They were dressed in the same clothes, all dressed as snow-white, but they looked three or four years older than the cold woman, her figure was quite plump, and the skin leaking from her arms was like jade, although her appearance was also dignified and beautiful, but there was not the slightest unique chill on the woman in front of her.

The cold woman's peerless face sneered, and said lightly: "City Lord Nie is trying to win people's hearts, but I see that his eyes are full of city government, and he is definitely not a good type. It's not so much to protect the country and the people, but I think it's actually a ghost. ”

The woman seemed to have a cold meaning even in her voice, she was really an iceberg beauty.

Yu Shuang subconsciously shuddered and continued to listen to their conversation.

The plump woman frowned, leaned in front of the woman, and whispered to her: "Senior sister knows your temperament, the city lord of Nie is popular in the city, if someone hears someone disrespectful to him, he will inevitably cause trouble." Before we went down the mountain, the master repeatedly told that the junior sister should not cause trouble when she went down the mountain for the first time, and that after exploring the truth and truth, she must immediately return to the mountain to resume her life, and not stay for a long time. ”

The cold woman was expressionless, snorted coldly, looked at the field, and did not speak.

Yu Shuang couldn't help but feel a little worried about this woman in her heart, but fortunately, there was an uproar around her, and she was looking at the field by herself. Second, the place where they stood was far away from the "light platform", and the crowd was not very large, otherwise if such a rude act of this cold woman really reached the ears of the people in the city, I am afraid that it would not be easy to get out.

The man who walked with them looked about twenty years old, with long sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his appearance was good, and his hand holding the reins of the white horse suddenly blocked his eyebrows, blocking the dazzling sunlight, and looked at Taichung, as if he had carefully looked at the Nie City Lord who was still speaking.

After a while, he said leisurely: "Senior Sister Yang is right, Nie City Lord is definitely not simple. A small city lord, with such fanfare, the intention of wooing cultivators could not be more obvious, if it wasn't 'borrowing corpses to return souls', what else could he want?"

After that, he turned his head and smiled, took out the folding fan from his waist and opened it twice, looked at the cold woman, and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Yang, do you think he will have any plans?"

The cold woman, that is, the "Senior Sister Yang" in the man's mouth, had a sneer on her face, and said lightly: "The city lord of Nie has been in this Yulin City for more than 20 years, and he has not leaked a drop of water when he speaks, if he really has a plan, how can we see it at a glance? I just think that this person has a bit of yin and yang in his words, saying that he will really pay for the civilians of this city, this is only afraid that he will not be sincere." ”

At this time, the plump woman behind her groaned, looked at the field, and said in a low voice: "I see that the meridians of the Nie City Lord are smooth and the bearing is extraordinary, I am afraid that he is a person who has achieved the Tao, and the Taoist cultivation is only afraid that it will not be able to fall below the 'Five Realms', if it does not take the right path, for the people of this city, I am afraid that it will be a curse rather than a blessing." ”

The man's expression was solemn when he heard this, he glanced sideways at the woman, and said quietly, "Senior Sister Tian is saying that the Nie City Lord has colluded with the Demon Dao?"

The cold woman interjected at this moment: "If we have an affair with the Demon Dao, we naturally can't ignore it. ”

The man smiled when he heard this, and said lightly: "What Senior Sister Yang said is that since we are righteous path disciples, we naturally have to take the justice of the world as our own responsibility. Maybe in the future, the senior brother will pay more attention to this Nie City Lord, if it is really as the senior sister said, then its meaning is self-evident, and it is naturally incumbent on us to eliminate the demon and defend the way. ”

At this time, the plump girl who was a little older raised her eyes and looked at the sky, only to see that the scorching sun was in the sky and there were no clouds.

She raised her eyes and took one last look at the field, then retracted her gaze and said to the cold woman in front of her: "Senior Sister Yang, this time we have a master's life again, and the hour is not too early now, let's hurry as soon as possible." Shizun is still waiting for us to return to our lives, after all, there are a lot of strange things during this investigation, and it is difficult for us to make up our minds, so let's go back to the mountain and tell the truth, and let Shizun think about it himself. ”

The cold woman was expressionless, and she didn't say much, so she immediately withdrew her gaze from Taichung, pulled the reins in her hand, and ignored the same door behind her, so she rode away first.

This move was a bit rude to the same door behind her, but the two older and her classmates seemed to have long been accustomed to the temperament of "Senior Sister Yang" in their mouths, and the two also glanced at each other, and rode their horses with her.

After they left, Yu Shuang slowly withdrew his gaze, and it was not difficult to hear from the mouths of these people that the three of them should also be disciples of the Righteous Path Cultivation Sect, but they didn't know where they were.

The impression of the Nie City Lord in their mouths was very different from Yu Shuang's, Yu Shuang couldn't help but recall their conversation in his mind, he looked at the high platform, and saw that the Nie City Lord was standing far away on the platform at the moment, caressing his beard, quietly watching the competition.

Yu Shuang also seemed to vaguely feel that something was wrong in his heart, but if he wanted to say where it was, he couldn't say it for a while.

"Good fight, brother, look, Uncle Pan has won!" At this time, Yu Xueying clapped her little hands and shouted happily, interrupting Yu Shuang's thoughts.

Yu Shuang came back to his senses and quietly looked at the field, only to see that on the jade platform, Pan Xincheng was holding a jade fan, the jade tree was in the wind, his white clothes were fluttering in the wind, and he was carrying one hand on his back, and he did not experience the appearance of a big war at all.

And in the four directions of his east, west, north and south, there were four figures lying impressively, and they were standing up forcefully at the moment. Yu Shuang looked at it and saw that it was the "Four Heroes of Yulin" who had just stood side by side with Pan Xincheng.

Yu Shuang smiled bitterly, and only listened to the conversation of the three people, but he didn't pay attention to the competition in the field, and he didn't know what means Pan Xincheng used to easily defeat the famous "Four Heroes of Yulin", this cultivation really made Yu Shuang admire.

The audience was in an uproar one after another, like a wave, one after another, clapping and applauding, full of praise for Pan Xin on the jade platform.

At this time, the Nie City Lord took a step forward and raised his hands to signal the silence in the field.

There were two men in light yellow clothes standing beside him, one of them slowly took a step forward, stood side by side with the Nie City Lord, facing the field, and after a while, when all eyes were focused on the Nie City Lord, he said loudly: "In this competition, the winner is Pan Xincheng, congratulations to Pan Gongzi." ”

There was another cheer in the audience, and Pan Xincheng was surrounded by the cheers of everyone, but he didn't seem to be happy at his actions. After announcing the results, Pan Xincheng closed the jade fan in his hand, gently inserted it into his waist, and then took out a piece of white silk from his arms, folded it in half, and tied it to his forehead.

At this time, another man in light yellow clothes behind the Nie City Lord stepped forward and said loudly: "Master Pan has a few words to say, please be quiet." ”

As the call gradually fell, Pan Xincheng took a deep breath, there was a faint sadness on his face, and he said lightly after a while: "Recently, an unfortunate thing happened in Pan's mansion, to be exact, it should be an unfortunate thing in the whole world. When Pan learned that the news was true, he almost broke his liver and intestines, and he didn't close his eyes all night. Originally, he had already abstained from this competition, but the city lord of Nie was gracious, and he was also very grateful in his heart, so he agreed. ”

He paused and continued: "In this competition, according to the rules, the loser should donate 1,000 taels of silver. In addition, I would like to add an additional 1,000 taels to donate to the people in the city who need warmth and help, and do our best. As he spoke, he bowed deeply to the people in the audience.

The audience was full of applause, and they were full of praise for Pan Xincheng's character.

At this moment, the competition has ended, and many of the spectators who watched the excitement have already left, compared with the crowd at the beginning of the competition, now there are only less than thirty percent of the people left in the field and there are many discussions with relish.

Pan Xincheng flew to the high platform at this moment, chatted a few words with the Nie City Lord, and chatted a few words with the man in the yellow fir behind him, and anyone could see that he was in a bad mood, and he wanted to leave as he spoke.

Just as he was about to get up and fly away, he suddenly stopped with a soft shout, "Uncle Pan, the younger Yancheng people Yu Shuang and sister Yu Xueying, meet Uncle Pan." ”
