In the early morning, the clouds and mist are shrouded, the rainstorm is at the beginning, and the sky is as clear as a wash, like a mirror, illuminating the whole earth, reflecting the joys and sorrows of the world. The weather www.biquge.info cool and pleasant, even the grass on the side of the road tried to straighten up and drill out of the ground, sucking the sweet rain and dew, and feeling the caress of the wind. The mountain jungle is filled with a thin layer of hazy mist, like floating clouds floating in mountain streams and streams, making the whole mountain seem like a fairyland on earth.

The group walked quietly on the misty mountain road, but they seemed to be in a trance and languishing, some stretched their waists, some yawned, and walked slowly with a pair of red eyes. Only Xie Wuchen silently walked to the front, the mud on the mountain road did not stick to the soles of his shoes and his long shirt, Xie Xian'er still jumped and walked the slowest way, teasing the birds in the mountains for a while, chasing beautiful flowers and butterflies for a while, and going into the grass to pick beautiful wildflowers for a while, the mountain road was not halfway through, and there was already a beautiful bouquet of all kinds of flowers in her hand, reflecting her smiling face, which was extremely beautiful and moving! It's just that her hair is stained with crystal dew and pollen of various colors, dyeing her hair with green silk colorful, and her white dress is also splashed with a lot of dots of mud and fragrant pollen, mixed with many unknown balls, green, plush, very cute, making Xie Xian'er like an elf shuttling through the flowers, a little fairy in the forest.

Ouyang Zhen liked this lively, cute and innocent little girl very much, and smiled: "Let's go, let's not fall too far and make your grandfather worried?" Then he reached out and gently removed the small pompom on his skirt carefully, and then took her hand and chased after her.

Fortunately, there is more half-step grandmaster Xie Wuchen in the team, perhaps because of Shen Yuan's peerless swordsmanship, coupled with Hua Fengwu, who is known as the 'gentleman in the wind', is really difficult to deal with, and the group of ghostly pursuers never showed up again, even the 'temple keeper' rickety old man was gone.

Zhu Xiaotian stretched out a pair of fat arms, opened his heart and shouted loudly: "Look, that is Dragon City, the momentum is so magnificent!"

Standing on the top of the mountain, overlooking the entire Dragon City, although it was shrouded in dense fog, vaguely revealing its outline and direction, half of the entire Dragon City was immersed in the fog, like a mirage, like a heavenly palace fairyland, it was really beautiful, everyone was also surprised by the huge scale of the Dragon City, if you didn't look at it from a high place, you couldn't feel its brilliance, magnificent momentum, compared with Chang'an City, there was no better?

Zhuo Qingqing was ecstatic, as if he felt that his soul had been washed in an instant, all his troubles and sorrows had disappeared, his mood was naturally extremely happy, and he excitedly became a guide: "The square building in the middle is the 'Longcheng Mansion'; the exquisite buildings outside the Longcheng Mansion are all where the people in the house live, and the outer circle of buildings are where some disciples of the outer sect of the Longmen live, and then there are four gates, which are arranged according to gold, water, wood, and fire, and surround the entire 'Longcheng Mansion' in the middle in a circle. Then there are the staggered, spacious and beautiful streets, you see if it is another circle after a circle, each circle of streets is a neatly arranged, tall and low orderly buildings, these are the industries of the Dragon City;

Ouyang Zhen couldn't help but ask: "Sister Qingqing, why aren't there five gates, which can be arranged according to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth?"

Zhu Xiaotian also interjected: "In my opinion, there shouldn't be so many gates, and it's not Chang'an City, is there so many people in Dragon City?"

Zhuo Qingqing explained: "I don't know why I built so many gates when I built Dragon City, the soil is the center, in fact, it is the 'Nine Cities Mansion' in the center of the city?"

Ouyang Zhen's expression flashed, and he thought in his heart: "Could it be that the entire Dragon City is a formation?"

Looking at the magnificent Dragon City, Shen Yuan had already seen the thoughts of the layout people and the clues in it, the entire Dragon City was divided into two parts, and there were two formations: the Dragon City Mansion was the 'Five Elements Array', according to the natural laws followed by the derivation of all things, gold gave birth to water, water gave birth to wood, wood gave birth to fire, fire gave birth to earth, and earth gave birth to gold, so repeated and endless, if a strong enemy who did not know the Five Elements Array ventured into the 'Five Elements Formation', he would definitely be lost in it. The arch on the outside is the 'into the hexagram array', the Book of Changes says: one life is two, two is three, and three is all things. There is also the so-called Taiji gives birth to two yi, two yi gives birth to four phases, four phases give birth to gossip, gossip and changes sixty-four yao, and the cycle has changed endlessly. The ancestor of this Dragon City was really a remarkable figure, and he was able to create such a powerful scale, but what was he defending by using such a huge amount of manpower, material resources, energy, and time to arrange the Dragon City? Could it be that there were still powerful enemies in Dragon City? Shen Yuan was puzzled in his heart.

"I know, I know. Xie Xian'er panted and ran over, and said in a coquettish voice: "I heard Grandpa Long mention that Dragon City was actually originally a country thousands of years ago, and it was also a very powerful country, called Dragon Country. All of them practice martial arts, and all of them are strong in martial arts, but they are indifferent to fame and fortune and have no quarrel with the world. But there is a way: the tree is big and the wind shakes the tree, and the name of the person is lost. Because they were so powerful, they caused the other nations to panic, and they united against them. Although they were all skilled in martial arts, they couldn't stand the strength of the other party, and they were finally destroyed!"

Zhu Xiaotian stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head: "Fairy girl, you said that it is the story of the legendary Dragon City! Who in the rivers and lakes does not know? Is there any fresh and true story?"

Xie Xian'er shook her head in frustration: "I don't know?"

Zhuo Qingqing's face was also helpless, and he was at a loss for what to do about it: "It's a pity that grandpa never told me the origin of Dragon City, this time I must ask a clear and clear question before I stop." ”

Zhuo Bufan smiled and waved his arms: "Then what are you waiting for? Dragon City is in front of us, let's rush down to see who reaches Dragon City first, how about it?"

Zhu Xiaotian's chubby body also rushed down, and he screamed in his mouth: "Okay, I want to take the first!"

"Boring!" Jiu'er muttered with a delicate yawn, last night's beating and killing had seriously affected her sleep, and she was still dazed, her eyes were covered with a layer of black circles, and she was so unhappy.

In this way, in addition to Zhuo Bufan and Zhu Xiaotian, only Xie Xian'er's eyes lit up, and she screamed excitedly, and followed with a long skirt, and a string of her silver bell-like laughter came from the mountain road. Xie Wuchen was worried about his granddaughter's safety, his feet were not dusty, and he floated away lightly with the wind, like a fairy.

Zhuo Qingqing's original good mood became extremely stray with Shen Yuan's arrival, his face suddenly turned cloudy and gloomy, turned his head, took Ouyang Zhen's hand and ran: "Ji'er, let's go too!"

Jiu'er stomped her feet helplessly, frowned, and chased after her in a panic: "Miss, wait for me?"

The long mountain road had lost their traces in the upper brakes, and only Shen Yuan and Hua Fengwu remained.

The mist in the mountains gradually thinned, and it flew up with the wind like a thread, revealing the true face of Xiuqi Mountain Peak and the magnificent city of Dragon City.

Looking at their figures in the distance, Shen Yuan sighed and said, "Brother Hua, let's go to 'Phoenix Villa', don't you need to accompany me, a dying person?"

Hua Fengwu's eyes showed a solemn expression: "Is that not possible? It's just that in just a few days, Brother Shen has been killed and robbed to varying degrees one after another, and the masters he has encountered are higher than the other, so how can I put my mind at ease? Not to mention that although the poison of 'charming bones' has no cure, as long as you don't have luck, there will be no problem? In the future, you must not be reckless, with me by your side, you don't want to take any more risks?"

Shen Yuan's mood was extremely moved, and if he had a friend like this, he would have no regrets even if he died! As the saying goes: A gentleman's friendship is as light as water, but there is true affection to reciprocate it! Hua Fengwu's friendship with him made it difficult for him to repay it in this life.

Suddenly, Shen Yuan stopped and sighed: "Come out!

Hua Fengwu was stunned, looked at the waist-deep grass around him vigilantly, protected Shen Yuan behind him and asked, "Brother Shen, who is here?"

"Temple keeper?" Shen Yuan said coldly, he didn't know why, he always felt that someone was secretly following them, and it seemed that only the exercises they had passed down from generation to generation could sense the existence of the other party.

When the words fell, a person came out of the grass, with an extremely embarrassed expression, an ugly face, and a rickety figure, who was the old man who had disappeared in the temple.

Hua Fengwu's face changed, and he scolded: "Do you still want to kill Brother Shen?"

Shen Yuan sighed lightly: "Brother Hua misunderstood, in the temple he was testing my martial arts, he didn't believe what I said? He has been following me, is he trying to ask me something he doesn't know?" His eyes looked at the rickety old man indifferently: "You really want to know why the blood flute is in my hands? Why do I have the 'Xuanyin Sword Technique'? What do I have to do with the Xuanjiao?" right?"

The rickety old man looked stunned, his eyes swept to Hua Fengwu, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Although the old servant was punished to guard the temple here, the old servant has never held a grudge against Xuanjiao in his heart? I still hope to return to Xuanjiao? I don't know if you can ......."

Shen Yuan stretched out his hand to interrupt his words, and said lightly: "You are wrong! I don't have much to do with the Xuanjiao? Moreover, in the eyes of the people in the Xuanjiao, I am still their enemy, do you still expect the enemy to send you back to the Xuanjiao?"

The rickety old man's face changed greatly, and his body trembled violently, as if Shen Yuan's words hit him hard: "Ah...... That blood flute, and that 'Xuanyin Sword Technique'......?" he staggered back.

Shen Yuan said indifferently: "You want to know why the blood flute is in my hands, it is because I killed the jade cicada, and this blood flute is his relic." Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows about the battle I fought with Jade Cicada three years ago, and now that he is dead, I am still struggling to live. I don't know if the jade cicada is Chen Ruo'an, but the blood flute is indeed in his hands, and he is also the junior disciple of your Luo sect master? Now that it is my trophy, do you really want to go back?"

The old man sat down in the grass, letting the dew soak his robe, and letting the dirt stain his legs and feet, sat awrisomely, as if he had been infatuated......

Shen Yuan exhaled a long breath, slowly breathing in the fresh air, his eyes flashed with a strong sense of resentment, and his voice said coldly: "As for the 'Xuanyin Sword Technique' is a relic left to me by my father? At that time, Xiao Wangsun was still an unknown and unknown little person, but he was a kind-faced and vicious guy. When he inadvertently learned that Luo Jintian had kicked the treasure and the secret of martial arts, he was ecstatic, but he knew that martial arts was not Luo Jintian's opponent, so he used a conspiracy to seize the 'Xuanyin Secret Secret', and Luo Jintian was seriously injured and fled. In order to hide the truth in it, he not only killed all the participants, but also changed the 'Xuanyin Secret Book' into the 'Hades Book'. Later, because King Xiao Sun was too poorly perceptive, he had to hand over the 'Hades Book' to his best friend - Shen Rufeng Shenwu, and Shen Rufeng was my father. My father was ruined by the son of Hades, and even his wife, Xiao Wangsun's younger sister, who was pregnant with Liujia, was pushed down the abyss by him, and there were no bones left. My father began to be suspicious of Yama Wangsun, so he took away the 'Xuanyin Secret', so he angered Yama Wangsun, he invited a lot of ** masters to chase and kill my father, and later my father was rescued by my mother, but still can't escape the fate of being killed? ”

Hearing this secret, even Hua Fengwu was shocked, he had heard that the 'Sword God' slaughtered the master of the 'Hades Palace' in a fit of rage, but he didn't expect that there was such a secret in it, no wonder the 'Spicy Hand Fairy' Yan Baixue would turn from a lover to an enemy, it was really a trick?

Shen Yuan looked sideways at the rickety old man, there were still some secrets that he didn't tell him, after all, there was Hua Fengwu present next to him, although he regarded Hua Fengwu as a close friend in his heart, but years of habit naturally forced him to hide one of the deepest secrets: his wife was actually the holy aunt of Xuanjiao, and his daughter had now become the new saint. The people of the Xuanjiao did not regard him as an enemy, but wanted to support him as the leader of the sect, just because he knew the 'Xuanyin Sword Technique'. In their minds, Shen Yuan is the inheritor of Luo Jian and the new generation of sect leaders of Xuanjiao, which is God's will. Because the people of the Xuanjiao sect worship and respect Luo Jian from the heart, blindly, without the slightest disrespect.

Shen Yuan didn't look at the rickety old man again, turned around and slowly walked along the mountain road. Hua Fengwu glanced at the rickety old man and chased after him, only the rickety old man sat in the grass, still motionless, as if he had lost his life, and became a lifeless stone.
