The Star Picking Tower is not used for stargazing and moon viewing, it was just that Xu Yuntian once liked to play with the wooden bird when he was young, so the King of Nanzhou asked people to build this attic that was twice as high as the other wings, but later His Royal Highness the Prince gradually played less, and the Star Picking Tower was idle.

The attic is oval like a goose egg, and when Xu Yanshan built it, he invited hundreds of master craftsmen up and down the door of the god craftsman, and it took half a month and three years to build this shape.

In the center of it, there is a thick roof beam embraced by three people, made of Kunlun iron pine, the lower half of the carving beast, and then the upper carving of birds, and then the upper moire, to the top is a piece of astrology that wraps the entire blue and red glazed tile ceiling inside.

Less than a month after the completion of the Star Picking Building, Tianzheng Guan Zhao Tianshi came to visit, hoping to exchange the copy of the treasure of the town faction "Yuqing Star Watching Urn" for the five-day star watching deduction of the Star Picking Building every month.

Xu Yanshan, the king of Nanzhou, only said: "I use the gun, and I can't understand your book in the clouds." And he sent him away.

Then Zhao Tianshi never forgot about this, and sent people to send money and treasures every year, just in exchange for the opportunity to deduce the star building.

The tip of the moon.

The old Taoist priest Su Xingzi had already changed his clothes at this time, and there was no blue and white Taoist robe suitable for him in the mansion, so Xu Yuntian immediately went to the best tailor shop in the city to make one, and even got the inner lining of his hair in a bun. He returned to the appearance of the fairy wind bone.

And An Guqing followed Xu Yuntian in the clouds, and he didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he had to stand aside with the 'full moon', and looked intently at a picture of "Burning Plains" hanging on the wall, as if he could see what flowers were coming.

"Tut-tut, the king of Nanzhou is really generous. Su Xingzi touched the huge pillar made of Kunlun iron pine, and looked up at the cloud pattern star on it.

sighed: "I'm afraid that only the king of Nanzhou can make such a star tower in the whole world, look at the pillars made of Kunlun iron pine, the iron pine is ten years long and a nail thickness, which is afraid that there are thousands of years of wood." ”

Xu Yuntian smiled and answered: "If Mr. likes it, it is not unavoidable to live in this Star Picking Tower." ”

"Is this true?" Hearing the words of the master, Su Xingzi's whole eyes lit up.

Xu Yuntian nodded and said, "Seriously!"

The old Taoist priest suddenly laughed again, stroked his white beard and said: "Forget it, this star-picking tower is not easy to live in, I don't know what price I have to pay when I come up with you, if I live forever, wouldn't I sell you all my old bones." ”

The prince smiled, walked to the side of the terrace, and found a long-forgotten trap bird submerged in the dust, seeing that this casting seemed to be his childhood handiwork, and I don't know when it fell here.

So he picked up the trap bird and shook off the dust on it, and said, "The Taoist chief is a smart man, I will give you a chance." ”

As he spoke, he snorted at An Gu Qing on the side, and said, "This beauty has sent you as an apprentice." ”

The old Taoist priest frowned and said: "If the prince lends me the Star Picking Tower to practice, just for the inheritance of my Tianji Gate, then the old Taoist is unwilling even if he dies here, if the prince himself enters my door, I can still think about one or two, but what does the prince mean by bringing a woman?"

Xu Yuntian fiddled with the trap bird in his hand a few times, and then gently threw it out, and the trap bird whistled and flew into the dark night outside.

Turning his head, His Royal Highness Gongye looked at An Gu Qing and said, "I don't know if the chief can recognize the sword in her hand?"

Su Xingzi turned his head at this time, looked at the "full moon" in Miss An's arms, and said suspiciously: "Qingfeng red stripes, half-moon sword body... I don't know the girl's name?"

Miss An said lightly: "The surname is An, and the name is Gu Qing." ”

"Which Ann?"

"Ann of Wusheng Antong is his father. ”

The old Taoist priest's eyes immediately narrowed, and he turned back to Xu Yuntian and said, "I will accept this apprentice." ”

He turned his head to An Guqing with a smile and said, "Good apprentice, call Master quickly." ”

Miss An was pulled up in a fog, and she couldn't understand the words of the two of them playing dumb riddles, and at this moment, she sold herself to this old Taoist priest who was still sloppy just now, and her eyebrows rose on the spot.

He said, "Who is your apprentice? Old man, don't recognize your relatives indiscriminately." ”

Su Xingzi, who was slapped in the face on the spot, was not angry, he was still happy, and said to Xu Yuntian: "I am very satisfied with the disciples that Master Xu found for Lao Dao, but I don't know what Gongzi Ye needs Lao Dao to do?"

Xu Yuntian stretched out three fingers and said, "Two questions and one thing." ”

The old Taoist priest bowed his head and said, "Excuse me." ”

"Xu Yanshan is going to Xuanwu City to look for the battle sword Yunge, how sure is it that he will come back?"

Su Xingzi stretched out a finger and said without thinking: "Yicheng is not there." ”

He also explained: "Even though Xu Yanshan's silver spear is the best in the world, and the 'Tianxin Dragon War' is domineering, but this second in the world is the second in the world after all, not to mention the second in the world twenty years ago and the first in the world today." ”

Xu Yuntian continued to ask, "Is there a way to save his life?"

"Yes!"

"How?"

The old Taoist priest smiled and quipped, "Son, this is the third question." ”

Xu Yuntian arched his hand and said sincerely: "Please also ask Mr. to teach me." ”

"Let the old blind man in the Nanwang Mansion open his eyes and take the divine bow to save Xu Yanshan day by day. ”

Su Xingzi continued: "King Nanzhou is a man with backbone, I'm afraid you won't be able to save him. ”

Xu Dagongzi chuckled: "I can't save it, I have to be saved too." ”

continued: "As for the other matter, I hope that Mr. will be my staff member of the Nanzhou Palace, if Sister Gu Qing learns half of your skills, you can go anywhere." ”

The old Taoist grinned, revealing the front teeth that were knocked out by Yan Cripple in his mouth and said: "The world says that the prince does not learn and has no skills, and he is a mud that can't support the wall. ”

Xu Yuntian said with a smile on his face: "Mr. has earned it, a few words are empty for a star-picking building, such a wonderful apprentice, and how many Jianghu masters dream of the staff of the King of Nanzhou." ”

Su Xingzi laughed again when he heard this, revealing the big hole where his front teeth were missing again.

Xu Yuntian said again: "In a few days, it will be a good day for the ninth day of the ninth month of September and dragon boat racing.

At night, Lao Zhangtou took out Xu Yanshan's Fengyun horse from the stable, this good horse is different from other horses in that it has a red mane, but the cloud pattern on the foot and neck is pure black, and the four hooves are light and powerful, and it is the king of horses at a glance. It's just that the posture is old, and I'm afraid it's not too young.

The horse also has a very domineering name - black cloud

Straddled the horse, the blind old man Zhang leaned down and touched the face of the black cloud, and the old horse neighed and galloped out.

Jiujiu Chongyang is the most important festival in Daxia except for Chinese New Year's Eve, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Qingming, and on this day, all states and counties will select strong sons and daughters to go to the capital city

A 'leader' of the color head, in the past, was in Xuanwu City, but since Xu Yanshan entered Nanzhou, it has been changed to Nanyang City.

The history of Yanbo Pavilion has a long history, it is said that the Qingjiang River floods continue after the Emperor Kunding Xuanwu City, so that from Nanyang down 5,000 miles of a piece of water, the first emperor Kun led the people to go upstream to find the source of the disaster, and finally found the 'walking Jiaohua Dragon' in the boundary of Nanyang. Walking Jiaohua Dragon Xingfeng waves, even if Jackie Chan is afraid that it is a demon dragon, he immediately led the water control generals to kill Jiaolong, and as soon as Jiaojiao died, Qingjiang was immediately calm.

Later generations set up the Yanbo Pavilion to kill Emperor Ji.

Although Yanbo Pavilion has the name of the attic, in fact, it is just a pavilion ten zhang away, the top is paved with a thatched roof, and there are more than a dozen stone seats and benches inside, all of which are cast by the round stone that has been washed by the water flow for tens of millions of years in the Qingjiang River, but there is a huge stone of ten thousand jun in the center of the attic, the whole body is dark and green, smooth and clean like jade, and the four big characters of "Emperor Kun Fu Demon" in the book are natural.

Yanbo Pavilion said that it is not far away, it is not close to it, it is about more than 100 miles away from Nanyang, there is no village market town around, if it is ordinary people who just rely on their feet to go back and forth for three or four days, fortunately, the foot power of Fengyun is amazing, and an hour will arrive.

In previous years, Xu Yanshan presided over the major events of Chongyang, and all the state pastors and county guards all went down the river by boat, and they had already waited in the water section of Yanbo Pavilion, but Nanyang was close to each other, so there was no need to arrive first.

Xu Yanshan is not here, so naturally this year's Chongyang Festival is naturally Xu Yuntian to take a look.

On the fifth watch, the people who had already prepared stepped onto the Fengyun Horse, plus the maid butler who served, about 100 officials of all sizes who were qualified to appear in Nanyang City walked towards Yanbo Pavilion, Xu Yuntian took the lead, and An Guqing followed.

Yan Cripple couldn't ride a horse, so he had to let someone load a carriage to carry it, and in the back, except for the three generals recognized by Xu Gongzi and Si Nong, Sima, and Si Zheng, there were all Xu Yuntian's half-baked faces.

An hour later, everyone arrived five miles outside the Yanbo Pavilion, dismounted and walked.

The water potential of the Qingjiang River is stable, but it is extremely dangerous to get here, since the Yanbo Pavilion is two thousand miles of mountains in the past, the Yanbo Pavilion is four hundred meters to the north is the 'Qingjiang Waterfall' with the name of "the world's strange danger", the terrain of Nanzhou is high, and this waterfall is produced under the water flow.

The waterfall is 962 zhang high, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a thousand zhang, even if it is more than 400 meters away, it is still deafening.

It happened that the north wind was blowing, and three-thirds of the Qingjiang water pouring down from the Heavenly Waterfall turned into water vapor and floated to the sky above the Yanbo Pavilion.

Xu Yuntian and his entourage walked to the front of the pavilion, first bowed to the huge bluestone engraved with the emperor's demon, and then stepped forward in turn to sit down according to the main order.

The prince Xu Yuntian took the main seat, on the right is the great secretary Tian Tianliang, the great Sima Wuyuan, and the great secretary Wu Guangyi, and on the left are the three generals who followed the Nanzhou Wang Daokouzi, Zhao He'an and Wang Tiezhong. Yang Xin.

Needless to say, Si Nong is in charge of Nanzhou's economy, agriculture, money and grain, and flood control, Sima is in charge of military and political logistics, and Si Zheng is the head of civilian officials.

Among them, Zhao He'an, who has the name of "four hundred people beheaded" general, is a veteran who is nearly seventy years old, good at making a nine-foot chopping knife, before meeting Xu Yanshan, he was just a horseman who fed war horses, when Xu Yanshan fought with the Yanzhou 'Red Barbarian' tribe, the Red Barbarian Thousand Horsemen attacked the heavy grain and grass at night, and the old general of the horse groom picked up the horse chopping knife to block the front of the battalion, and fought on foot until the rest of the people woke up and raised the knife to support, and one person killed more than 410 people, and the horses were not injured. Now he leads 300,000 Red Armor troops to guard the southern border.

Wang Tiezhong is a lean man in his early fifties, with a 'Thirteen Palaces Horizontal Practice' and extra-martial arts skills are very good, he turned out to be the martial champion of Great Xia, a promising figure, just because he saw Xu Yanshan, he threw away the money title promised to him by the Dragon Emperor of Great Xia, and followed the king of Nanzhou to the present, but it was also a military achievement, and at the same time, he was injured and blind in one right eye.

And this last general, Yang Xin, is the eldest disciple of Xu Yanshan's three disciples, Xu Yuntian is seven years old, his personality is as cold as iron and he doesn't like words, only when he sees someone close to him will he show a smile, if Xu Yuntian was bullied by An Guqing when he was young, and it was not easy to find Nanzhou Wang Laozi, Yang Xin would come forward and take Xu Yuntian to find the eldest lady's mansion, and after comparing with Danguqing, the two of them were beaten up again.

His martial arts are deep in Xu Yanshan's true biography, and he has the name of 'Little Gun King', but he is not good at using guns, so he is good at making knives, which is different from Zhao He'an's horse chopping knife, but an eight-foot-eight Glaive Blue Dragon Knife.

The other two disciples are Zhao Youyan, the overseer of the Xijiang River, who is known as the 'red-armored jackal', and Guan Mufei, the overseer of the Dongjiang River. It's just that the two of them are not here at this time.
