Chapter 77: The Danger of Jixian County
Jixian County is in Zhuozhou County, Youzhou, the north of Zhuo County spreads throughout the hilly meadows of the north, and the south is Yanmen Pass, where Yizhou and Youzhou meet. The east and west are the two counties of Lelang and Yuyang, which are also along the Heishui River.
To the north of Jixian County is a hill of dozens of miles, and in the middle there is a black mountain that spreads for more than 50 miles, and the Heishui River flows from east to west in the south. From Jixian County along the Heishui River to the west for nearly 100 miles, it is the county seat of Zhuo County. It is this kind of town and city that is close to mountains and rivers and is poor, and it has become the fiefdom of Qiantai.
The three carriages slowly drove from the south, arrived at the banks of the Heishui River, and looked towards the faint town opposite.
In front of me, a large river five or six miles wide flowed quietly to the east. The water is quiet, but the undercurrent below the surface of the river is so dense that the water appears a little black and dark. In the distance, there are some dilapidated ships moored on the river, which is the largest river in the north in the eyes of Qiantai, the 'Heishui River'.
To the north of the riverbank, there is a town surrounded by barren terraced rice fields, and beyond is a number of low rocky hills. After entering Youzhou, some of the mountain villages and towns that Qiantai passed through on the way were like this, and there were even some that were not as good as here, all of them were very poor, and they were not much worse than the situation in Yizhou.
Youzhou is located in the bitter cold land of the north, hilly and barren land, and the Li people have lived poorly since ancient times. But what Qiantai can't figure out is that even if the environment is like this since ancient times, the government of Youzhou will not let the people of Li govern so hard, and it is like Yizhou, a cholera land in the south, which is very incomprehensible.
On the carriage, Yinling looked north: "There is Jixian County ahead, it's hard to imagine that in the future, you will live on the land of Youzhou." Qiantai said: "Where is not the same, but even I didn't expect the situation in Youzhou to be so barren, I waited all the way, the villages I passed through are difficult to have a big village above a hundred households, and every wild vegetable and thin soup is food." The situation of the people of Youzhou is not good. ”
Yinling smiled and said to Qiantai: "What you said is good, but although this place is poor, I believe that the talents of the above Jingxian prince will definitely make this place rich soon, and the people of Youzhou finally ushered in someone who can save them." "Hehe, Yinling, you look up to me. "Yes, then I might as well send you back to Xiaye, the person who rescued it turned out to be an incompetent person who couldn't make decisions for the people, then my silver bell was really in vain, hum." ”
The two were talking happily in the carriage by the river, and this time they arrived in Jixian County, and the thrilling journey was indeed over.
But at this moment, suddenly the sky was overcast, and a dark cloud of water vapor rolled in from the opposite riverbank.
From the sky above the carriage, a huge shout came from the dark clouds that suddenly appeared: "Jixian Hou, you actually came here, and you haven't shown up yet, and you have waited for us to end the matter of sixteen years ago! ”
didn't wait for the people in the carriage to prepare, but they saw that in the dark clouds above more than ten zhang high, a fish suddenly appeared, with a fish cage tied to his back, and an old Taoist wearing a gray ** robe, pinching the seal above the heads of Qiantai and others, and just shouting the truth: "The black dragon spits water!"
The bamboo cage on the waist of the Taoist priest flew out and turned, and suddenly he inhaled a torrent from the river under his feet, and smashed it into the carriage of the people when he turned a corner.
Knock~! The carriage was suddenly hit by the icy river water that had been infected with mana and turned black, and broke through the roof of the car. Yinling Jiao snorted, and Qiantai flew out of the carriage separately from the car. I only heard Yinling hurriedly say: "It's not good, it's the Northern Darkness Black Water True Power of the Youshui Sect!
After tens of thousands of catties of frozen river water smashed the carriage, it washed the ground, and in early April, there was frost on the grass on the ground.
Ah~!Some handmaidens and guards were all shocked by the river and flew out, the river bank was chaotic, debris flew around, and some guards and handmaidens were smashed by the sudden flood from the sky and vomited blood, and were shivering by the cold mana.
"Hmph. "The Bodhisattva still has three points of anger, not to mention that Yinling is also a woman. Full of anger, he immediately flew to the sky and shouted coquettishly: "Your Black Water Sect is too deceitful, how can you be so arrogant and rude, the silver bell of the world's outer learning palace, and comprehend the true law of your sect!"
In the divided carriage, the silver bell flew a Yaoqin from it with a move in the air, the silver bell held it with both hands, like a flying fairy, and flew to the cloud head with a step, the jade hand flicked, and the seven strings of the Yaoqin 'Oh Oo ......' The wonderful sound wave sounded rapidly, and the sound wave was like an invisible and illusory whirlpool, directly towards the Dao person.
"Hmph~!" The Taoist roared angrily and shouted, "The black dragon destroys the world, and the flood is monstrous......"
At this time, the Qiyu Fish Cage Spirit Treasure let out a large black light, and a piece of black mana burst out, heading towards the silver bell.
At this moment, Qiantai's face on the side below was gloomy, and he pulled out the 'Heavenly Sword' on his waist, and slashed ~! A sword of yin and yang sword qi slashed directly into the sky.
Sneer~!It was like a sound like cutting cloth, but I saw that the sound wave of the Yaoqin of the silver bell was winding around with the divine light of the fish cage, and a black and white sword light of Qiantai slashed obliquely upwards from below, and the bamboo strips on the fish cage were directly chopped into a few pieces.
Boom, there was a muffled sound, and the three people whose mana collided in the air all shook and took a few steps back. The old man on the cloud looked at Qiantai and Yinling, and immediately thought in his heart: "It's not good, the enemy is strong and I am weak, retreat quickly ......", this person drilled into the black cloud, turned around and disappeared on the opposite bank of the river.
The two people below flew into the air and wanted to chase this person, but this person took advantage of the river and clouds to escape in a hurry, and walked very fast, and the two had no time to catch up. Let this person escape, and he had to fall to the ground, and the two of them were very helpless.
"Hahaha....... At this moment, suddenly laughter came from the mountain shadows in the north, and a black shadow flew in the distance, shouting to this side: "But His Royal Highness the prince has arrived, and my grandfather and grandson have been looking forward to you for a long time. ”
This person flew from a distance and fell into the two of them, but they saw that it was the old demon of the northern Black Mountain who had been away for a few years, Gongsun Ba.
Qiantai's face was overjoyed, and he said to Gongsun domineeringly: "I let the old demon suffer for a few days, but I am ashamed to be affected by Tai." ”
Gongsun Ba took Qiantai's hands and said chicly: "Hahaha, let's not talk about this, we just let those two Xiaodao be arrogant for a while, and my heart is unbearable." Although the two of them are old and young, the old demon of Montenegro speaks freely, as if they are a New Year's friend. He also said: "Since Your Highness has arrived in Jixian County, you will naturally be the lord of Jixian County in the future, and I will help you in Montenegro and will not let you be assassinated by those filthy people." Jixian County will go to Wushan with me first, and I will talk to you about the situation in Jixian County at this time. ”
But Qiantai stopped the old demon of Montenegro who was about to pull him away, and said: "Don't be busy first, this is the silver bell girl, my friend, a disciple of the World Foreign School Palace, and I haven't introduced it to the old demon yet." ”
It seems that the old demon of Montenegro doesn't like Yinling and the others.
Yinling squatted slightly, saluted the old demon and said, "Yinling, I've seen the predecessors of Montenegro." ”
The old demon of Montenegro also waved his hand, and praised it casually: "When the world is a phoenix girl, I have admired her name for a long time, and the sound of the majestic and righteous piano just now seems to be from your hand, the sound of the piano contains the true meaning of the righteous path, and it is not simple, it is not simple." "Turning around, he was going to pull Qiantai towards the other side of the river.
Yinling frowned and didn't want this old demon to be so rude, but Yinling still replied and said, "Thank you seniors for the compliment." ”
"Hmm. The old demon of Montenegro snorted, and then said to Qiantai: "Your Highness, please go with me to the mountains to rest, those Daomen guys near here are very despicable, and the county government in the city has already been occupied by these Taoist priests, Your Highness has just arrived, and this is not the time to rob." ”
In this regard, Qiantai had no choice but to look back apologetically and signal to Yinling. Fortunately, Yinling also took some very embarrassed maids and guards, and found a boat on the river bank with Qiantai and the old demon of Montenegro, and when they reached the other side of the river, they entered the mountains again.
The old demons of Montenegro are like this, also because of their respective backgrounds. The old demon of Montenegro is a generation of scattered demons in the north, and the old monster among the evil characters. And Yinling is a well-known and upright person, naturally, the old demon of Montenegro will not like Yinling too much. Fortunately, looking at Qiantai's face above, they all forbeared, and they entered the black mountain on the opposite side, the dojo of the old demon of Montenegro.
On the mountain of Montenegro, there are some soldiers covered with pictures and tattoos guarding the mountain, there are some towers and closed doors at the bottom of the mountain, and there are many crumbling and dirty mountains, and there are even cold stagnant water in the potholes. Obviously, there have been a few battles here.
Everyone went up the mountain all the way, and Qiantai's face was solemn on the mountain road, this confrontation in the north was so serious, it seemed that this Black Water Sect also wanted to suppress himself and others.
Thinking about the ambush he had just received from a real person outside the mountain, Qiantai couldn't help but feel heavy about the situation in the north.
Qiantai Chao Gongsun Ba asked, "How many days has the Old Demon Mountain been surrounded?"
"Today is the second day of the fourth month. The old demon of Montenegro said, calculated in his heart and continued: "It has been seventeen days since I sent someone to send a message to the city god, and His Highness has received the news of the city god before." ”
Qiantai replied to Gongsun Ba: "As soon as I left Beijing, I got the news of Lu County, this time our Zhongcheng God's God Yan Du, the old demon you, and several friends in the Dayin Mountain Surabaya, Yin Xu, Peach Blossom and others were blocked by these people, leaving me alone from Feicheng, after several bumps, I arrived here. ”
Hearing this, the old demon felt even more indignant, and said angrily: "These people are really hateful!"
Then the old demon of Montenegro asked with concern: "And now in Youzhou, except for those who are in seclusion, they are the people of our Black Water Sect. Then Yuan Shao also has some people from the Southern Dalin Temple beside him, but I heard that this person took these bald donkeys to Yizhou, I don't know if he has ever met His Highness?"
"They've been chasing me all the way, and now I'm left behind. ”
"Then it's not good. Hearing Qiantai say this, the old demon of Montenegro estimated that Xia Ye was only a thousand miles away from here, and he couldn't help but worry. Walking on the mountain road at this time, the old demon Sun Ba of Montenegro had a heavy look in his eyes, and even Qiantai and Yinling could see it.
