From Yanhui Ferry to Yanhui City, what Zhou Ran saw in his eyes was the same as three years ago.

Three years may not be a short time for a person, and in the thousand-year-long history of the wild goose returning to the city, it may not even be a small splash. And what is the 1,000-year-old time of this wild goose returning to the city in the 12 continents? What is the 12 continents in the Great Rift Valley?

If you zoom in on the time like this, it's really easy to be awe-inspiring, but it's pointless to think about it.

Unlike last time, Zhou Ran is still in the real innate realm, and he did not hide his own realm, and walked on the loose road that exists in and out of the city above the innate realm.

Yanhui City is not the Fengyun Valley during the opening period of the Heaven Interception Tower, nor is it the Great Rift Valley where even a low-level village has hundreds of innate realms. However, Yanhui City is adjacent to a large cross-continent ferry, and there are many masters in the north and south, and it is not uncommon for masters in the innate realm to be common, but most of them are middle-aged faces, but it is rare to see a young innate realm like Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran didn't know why he was so bored today, and he actually enjoyed the admiration and envy of the people around him.

After entering the city unhurriedly, Zhou Ran shook his head and laughed.

"Boring. ”

Zhou Ran, who was in an inexplicable mood, said these two words with a smile and strode towards the City Lord's Mansion.

I didn't look carefully last time, but when I came to the City Lord's Mansion today, Zhou Ran found that this mansion was really not ordinarily grand, just the gate could be compared with the city gate of Yuzhou City, and even the four city guards standing on both sides of the gate were congenital realms.

Zhou Ran stared at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion for a long time, and only when the four innate realms were about to drive people away, he stepped forward with a smile.

Zhou Ran hugged his fists at the four of them and said: "Please ask for the city lord He, the city lord of Yuzhou City, Zhou Ran, to ask to see." ”

A person in front of him on the left glanced at Zhou Ran and asked, "Are you the city lord of Yuzhou City?"

Zhou Ran nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

The other person immediately said with a black face: "Get out of here immediately, be careful that Lao Tzu discounts your dog's legs later!"

"Huh?"

Zhou Ran was a little stunned, but he clearly remembered that when he left Yanhui City on the Yunkun boat, he personally set up an alliance relationship between Yanhui City and Yuzhou City with He Lichuan, could it be that what has happened in the past three years?

Thinking of this, Zhou Ran's face darkened.

Let's find out what happened first, and then decide whether to see He Lichuan or not.

Zhou Ran hugged his fists at the four of them, turned around and left.

The four of them were surprised to see Zhou Ran leave so simply, after all, the previous liars who were in the name of the city lord of Yuzhou City did not hit the south wall and did not look back, and a few of them were still cleaned up by a few of them.

After the incident of the Sky Interception Tower, the city lord of Yuzhou City was not heard from at all. A few months later, there were rumors that the city of Yuzhou had died, and the city of Yuzhou had become a borderless land. The rumors started in the Qingchuan Domain and spread all over Jizhou in just one month. At that time, it was not only the Situ family in the Qingchuan Domain, but also many big forces in other domains were paying attention to Yuzhou City.

The spirit crystals produced in Yuzhou City every year are already eye-catching, and Tianhewu has set up a cross-domain ferry port in Yuzhou City, and the annual income is really too eye-catching.

force

Tianhewu, which is comparable to the middle nine gates, has always only been in charge of the affairs of the ferry, and will not interfere in the entanglement of power in the place where the ferry is located. That is to say, as long as the Yuzhou ferry port under construction outside Yuzhou City is not destroyed, whether Yuzhou City will continue to be surnamed Zhou or change its surname to Ma and Niu, Tianhewu does not care at all. As for Lin Fengmian, the helmsman of Tianhewu, living in seclusion in Yuzhou City, the five major sects in Jizhou led by Wanli Mansion may know about it, but other forces are not qualified to know about it.

In the first half month of the rumor of the death of the lord of Yuzhou City, Yuzhou City in the eyes of outsiders was in danger of capsizing at any time in the midst of strong winds and waves. Even with Zhuo Yipu, a star powerhouse from the Yuncang Sect, in charge, it was difficult to stop the wolves from watching.

In fact, how many people from Jizhou who came out alive from the Heaven Interception Pagoda did not see Zhou Ran's anti-heaven performance in the Jade Void Heavenly Road with their own eyes? Many of these people felt that Zhou Ran had grabbed the Heavenly Margin and was accepted by the Nine Sects, and the news would come sooner or later. But there are also some people who feel that Zhou Ran has died, after all, there are not only demons of the Nine Sects on the peak of the Jade Void Heavenly Road, but also the descendants of the Nine Sects.

Regardless of what was in mind, these people chose to wait.

Otherwise, the sooner you jump out, the more miserable you will die.

When these people chose to wait, Helian Qingqing, the only descendant of the Frost Snow Gate, came to Yuzhou City alone. Not long after she arrived in Yuzhou City, Tianzhou Blowing Snow Village Gao Tu Longlan and Youzhou Extreme Cold City Legend East Gate Chuxue also came together. And the three of them are all here as friends of Zhou Ran, which makes many people mutter.

It didn't take long for Shang Qingluo, one of the descendants of the Seven Veins of the Middle Nine Gate Tianwu Peak, to come.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the weight of Shang Qingluo, who was born in the Middle Nine Sect, was higher than that of Helian Qingqing. Unlike Helian Qingqing and the three of them who only stayed in Yuzhou City for a few days and left, Shang Qing didn't say anything after he came, and he rarely showed up, but he lived directly, and this stay was three years.

That's intriguing.

In any case, the appearance of several great factions was a shock to the countless forces that coveted Yuzhou City.

Someone pretending to be the lord of Yuzhou City to deceive also started at this time.

Those big and small forces that hit the idea of Yuzhou City have almost been patronized by these liars, and I don't know if they are thieves or are really afraid of being retaliated by Yuzhou City, and there are still many people who believe it.

In just two months, I don't know how many good things have been cheated out of going.

When the news spread, these people knew that they had been fooled.

These liars who couldn't get along in the Qingchuan Domain began to aim at several large domains around the Qingchuan Domain, and some bastards who didn't know whether they were alive or dead actually tricked the Yanhui City Lord's Mansion.

When the first liar came, the city lord He Wangchuan personally greeted him.

He Lichuan never thought that someone would dare to deceive him, and that liar didn't expect He Lichuan to come forward in person.

As the city lord, He Lichuan didn't pay much attention to it, but several of his disciples blocked the news for the sake of the city lord's mansion. It is said that the liar who was personally greeted by He Lichuan is still in the City Lord's Mansion, and I don't know if he is dead or alive.

Not long after this, a second crook came to the door.

He Lichuan did not come forward this time, and was personally greeted by Li Shutong and Zhang Zhuqing.

In the past two years, there have been dozens of waves of swindlers who dare to return to the city lord's mansion, forcing the city lord's mansion to make several heavy moves, which frightened those outlaws who asked for money and did not want to die.

After Zhou Ran knew the reason for the incident, he really felt that he couldn't cry or laugh.

"Lao Tzu's reputation is so stinky?"

After half a day, Zhou Ran came to the City Lord's Mansion again.

Standing outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion were still the four innate realms, and when they saw Zhou Ran coming again, they either clenched their fists or tightened the long sword in their hands, and there was a real element surging secretly on their bodies, which meant that as long as Zhou Ran dared to speak, they would teach people a lesson.

Zhou Ran didn't talk nonsense this time, and he didn't stop when he came to the gate, as if he didn't see the four of them existing, and strode towards the gate.

"Bold!"

"Look for death!"

The two people standing at the front immediately struck, and both swords were unsheathed at the same time.

The twin swords slashed down, but only a wisp of wind fell.

"What about people?"

The four of them were so frightened that they could not see anyone everywhere, and two of them immediately returned to their homes to prepare to report the matter.

He Lichuan has a total of nine personal disciples, the first apprentice Gu Feiyun took the closed disciple Yin Pupil out to travel and has not returned yet, and the second apprentice Zhuo Yipu is now in Yuzhou City, and only six are still around. In the past two years, He Lichuan has almost stopped asking about the affairs of the city and the mansion, unless some extremely important matters will be revealed, and other matters will be handled by the six disciples.

Zhang Zhuqing, who only broke through the innate third realm last month, has been staying in the City Lord's Mansion because he needs to stabilize his realm, and is responsible for some daily trivial matters in the mansion.

Today, Zhang Zhuqing has Yaxing and writes in the study.

Lift the pen and do it in one go.

But I saw that on the white paper on the desk, the words were like old man, and they were built vigorously.

Zhang Zhuqing nodded with satisfaction and read softly: "The lack of the moon does not change the light, and the sword does not change the rigidity." ”

Almost all the disciples of the Yuncang Sect cultivated swords, and Zhang Zhuqing, who was able to step into the innate third realm at the age of his establishment, was naturally the best among them, and this sentence was the sword intent he realized when he broke through the realm this time.

Rather bend than bend, this is also his character.

Just admiring his own works, Zhang Zhuqing didn't notice that anyone had walked in, and even stood beside him and looked at the undried handwriting on the desk with him.

Outside the study, there were also the two gatekeepers who had come here to report that someone had forcibly broken into the city lord's mansion.

But these two people seemed to have been immobilized, standing motionless in place, and couldn't say a word, only watching the person who forcibly broke into the city lord's mansion come to Zhang Zhuqing's side like a leisurely walk.

The hearts of the two of them almost rose to their throats, not only because they didn't know why they couldn't move at this time, but also because the person had already walked to Zhang Zhuqing's side, but Zhang Zhuqing didn't know it.

Today's Zhang Zhuqing is already an innate third realm existence, and he can't feel a person from the first innate realm approaching, which is incomprehensible!

Zhang Zhuqing put down the pen and was about to dry the ink, when he suddenly realized that there was one more person next to him.

Wait for him to see clearly

The appearance of the people around him, the vigilance on his face suddenly turned into an accident, and said, "City Lord Zhou?"

"It's me. ”

Zhou Ran said with a smile: "It's been a long time. ”

When Zhou Ran spoke, the two people standing outside the door felt relieved and regained their freedom.

Zhang Zhuqing has personally confirmed Zhou Ran's identity, is it necessary for them to say anything?

In addition, the real city lord of Yuzhou City did not know how to fix his body, and he couldn't move or speak, and the fear in the hearts of the two of them had not dissipated for a while. Moreover, they saw with their own eyes that with Zhang Zhuqing's cultivation of the innate third realm, they did not find this Zhou city lord close, so they can imagine how good this Zhou city lord who seems to be the first congenital realm.

If they dare to talk nonsense at this time, how is it different from seeking death?

Let's find a time to inform Zhang Zhuqing of this matter in the future.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhuqing didn't think much about it, he just thought that they brought Zhou Ran here, and since Zhou Ran had loosened the power of the divine thoughts that imprisoned them, he had no intention of embarrassing them.

The two of them bowed and retreated in amusement.

Among the senior brothers, Zhang Zhuqing's cultivation qualifications are not the most outstanding, but in the field of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he has the true inheritance of his master He Lichuan, and the other eight senior brothers together are not half of him.

Therefore, when Zhang Zhuqing saw Zhou Ran staring at the few words he had written, he said proudly: "What does City Lord Zhou think?"

Zhou Ran didn't comment, just picked up a pen and wrote eight words next to this character.

It is definitely rude to write directly on other people's works, Zhang Zhuqing didn't like it in his heart but didn't show it, but when he saw the eight words left by Zhou Ran, the whole person was stunned.

"Rather die than live silently. ”

Zhang Zhuqing read these eight words in a daze, chewed repeatedly, and forgot that there were others beside him.

Zhou Ran saw Zhang Zhuqing's reaction like this, and then looked at the eight words he wrote purely out of feeling, shook his head and smiled.

did not disturb Zhang Zhuqing, and Zhou Ran left silently.

In terms of calligraphy level alone, Zhang Zhuqing's calligraphy should be between the second realm of calligraphy and the third realm of calligraphy that Shen Fei said. Maybe in an instant, you can go one step further and truly become a great master of calligraphy.

Zhou Ran's words have long been in the third realm of calligraphy, but what really made Zhang Zhuqing lose his mind was not his calligraphy realm, but these eight characters.

Really thinking about it, there is no difference between "the lack of the moon does not change the light, the sword does not change the rigidity" and "rather die and die silently, not live silently", the former can be summarized as rather bend than bend, and the latter can be said to be rather die than bend.

The meanings of the two words are almost the same, but there is a big difference in the subtleties.

Rather bend than bend is the backbone of a scholar, and rather die than give in is the swordsman's determination.

Zhang Zhuqing is not a scholar, but a sword master who has broken through the innate third realm. And the hands holding the sword wrote the moon and the sword, and in the end it became a bookish atmosphere.

Zhou Ran said life and death bluntly, which was a slap in the face for Zhang Zhuqing.

Quietly leaving the study, Zhou Ran came to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

This one broke again three years later

The city lord of the wild goose back to the city had already boiled tea.

It's not as tense as when they first met, and this meeting is more like a visit from an earlier appointment between people who met in Pingshui.

There is no enthusiasm, only a cup of tea.

Untie the knot, and the mustard between the head of Pu Qiufeng and the Yuncang faction has also dispersed, He Wangchuan has broken through the realm in just a few years, and now it is the third turn of the star, as if the person who was as famous as the head Pu Qiufeng back then.

He Lichuan didn't ask if Zhou Ran had already entered the Nine Sects now, and the two of them hadn't gotten acquainted with each other yet, but just smiled and said, "You came here at this time, but to borrow that sword?"

Zhou Ran nodded with a smile and said, "By the way, take a look at Star-Lord." ”

"Tell you something. ”

He Lichuan looked at Zhou Ran, who was only in the first realm of innate nature after three years, put down the teacup and said, "My senior uncle has returned to the gate of heaven, maybe he is one step further than before he fell into the realm." ”

Zhou Ran was a little surprised, but said with a smile: "That's a great thing." ”

He Lichuan had been paying attention to Zhou Ran's expression, and he had never seen a look of shock on Zhou Ran's face, and the city lord of Yanhui City was not sure for a while whether the person in front of him really didn't take an existence that had crossed the gate of heaven in his eyes, or pretended to be calm.

See you again three years later, but Zhou Ran is only the first realm of congenital nature, which makes He Lichuan very surprised.

He Lichuan had naturally heard of Zhou Ran's terrifying strength in the Sky Interception Tower, if the truth was as rumored, three years would definitely be enough for Zhou Ran to step into the innate peak, and it was not impossible to even rush into the Star Vertical Realm.

After all, even the three descendants of the Yuncang Sect who were in charge of the Three Swords of Heaven, Earth and Man were now in the Innate Third Realm.

I'm not familiar with that, but it's not easy to ask.

When the people arrived and the tea was drunk, it was almost time for Zhou Ran to leave.

Zhou Ran came here to see Star-Lord, if it weren't for the alliance between Yuzhou City and Yanhui City, he would not have climbed the gate of the Yanhui City City Lord's Mansion at all.

He Lichuan knows that uncle very well, since he has made an agreement, now that people have come to the appointment, he will definitely come out with a sword. And since this kid in front of him dared to come, he must have been prepared, but he wanted to see with his own eyes how this kid who was said to have reached the Three Souls Refining took the sword of a person who crossed the gate of heaven.

With these thoughts in his heart, He Lichuan put down the teacup and smiled at Zhou Ran: "I'll take you to meet my uncle, and I just happened to meet those two little guys." ”

Zhou Ran thought that the two little guys he said were Star-Lord and Yin Pupil, so he didn't take it to heart.

When the two of them came to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, He Wangchuan waved his sleeves, regardless of whether Zhou Ran, who was now only in the first realm of congenital status, could keep up, and flew away by himself.

Generally speaking, after stepping into the innate realm, you can have the ability to fly in the air, but flying and flying are two different concepts.

The innate realm's flight in the air depends on a breath, how long can this breath last, how far can it fly, once the breath is exhausted, it must be ground for ventilation. The general innate first realm has to be ventilated at most thirty or fifty zhang at most, and there are few people in the congenital second realm who can insist on flying a hundred zhang, even if the true yuan is strong, there are few innate peak masters who can insist on flying one

Riedi.

For a strong person who has reached the realm of starry, it is not a problem to travel dozens of miles in the sky.

How to forget the powerhouse who has reached the third turn of the star, flying hundreds of miles is just like a leisurely walk after dinner.

From the City Lord's Mansion to the Yandang Palace, thousands of miles away.

He Lichuan can fly in one breath, but Zhou Ran is the first realm of innocence.

I don't know if He Lichuan wants to use this method to remind this Yuzhou City Lord who has just stepped into the Innate Realm to do what he can, or if he is not worried that a person who is said to have reached the Three Soul Refining will not be able to keep up.

did not use the power of the heavenly thunder, nor did he have the trick of the imperial envoy to control the heavens and clouds, Zhou Ran only followed with the shadow of the heavenly wind.

Man in mid-air, in the wind.

After going for more than 100 miles, his face should not be colored.

He Wangchuan had the intention to accommodate the people who followed behind him, but seeing that Zhou Ran had always followed not far or close, and had never shown fatigue so far, he suddenly had a little worry in his heart. I saw that his sleeves fluttered, and his speed suddenly increased by three percent.

Zhou Ran smiled shallowly, followed by leisurely looking at this huge lake with a radius of 30,000 miles.

Hundreds of miles later, He Lichuan accelerated again, and Zhou Ran still easily followed.

He Lichuan couldn't help but think in his heart: Those who have reached the Three Souls Refining really can't be guessed with common sense.

However, these alone are not enough.

Because the person Zhou Ran was about to face had already returned to the gate of heaven, and the person standing at the gate of heaven had long exceeded common sense.
