In the far north, the days are short and the nights are long.

Ji Yan got out of danger, and did not rush back to the city, circled around the city a few times, understood everything clearly, and decided to go back to the city to rest.

The gates behind him were about to close, but the city was still bustling. As he walked through the streets with the north wind howling, he found that although everyone was happy, there were no reckless people who transgressed the law, and perhaps the mortal people were a little restrained by the might of the monks.

Drinking a bowl of cold-resistant and hot and sour soup on the street stall, eating a few pieces of hot cooked beef and puff pastry, the whole body is comfortable, Ji Yan, who has experienced several lives and deaths, suddenly sighed that there is no other in life, and witnesses greatness in the most ordinary place, this is the way of all beings!

After dinner, the bleak moonlight shone onto the earth. Ji Yan walked slowly towards the inner city, and met a sloppy Taoist leaning under the eaves and breaking the door, sipping the wine in the gourd one after another, as if he could never finish it. The old man also noticed that someone was watching him, and his eyes looked like he was a deceived young man today, and he turned over and was about to flee into the house.

"Old man, go slowly!" Ji Yan thought about the danger of the afternoon, and wanted to thank the old man, but he didn't expect the other party to flee in fear, so he stopped the old man and comforted:

"Don't panic, thank you for your reminder at lunch, as I said, I suffered another disaster, but ......"

Seeing Ji Yan's words, as if he had gained something in the calamity, the corners of his mouth were slightly embarrassed at this moment, the old man was steady in his heart, stroked his beard, and said with a smile:

"The donor Ji people have their own heavenly appearance, the old way has already calculated, but the heavenly opportunity cannot be leaked, and if you say too much, you will be punished by heaven, and I hope that the donor will forgive me, immeasurable Tianzun!"

As he spoke, he shook off the dust, gave wine in his mouth, and squinted his eyes at Ji Yan.

Ji Yan looked around, where he was in an abandoned storefront, no one rented it, and he vaguely saw the dilapidated inside along the street firelight, and shook his head unconsciously and asked:

"Dao Chief, is this your usual residence, why is it so simple?"

When the old Taoist heard this, he put on a posture of idle clouds and wild cranes, looked at the central high-rise building in the inner city, and replied:

In the eyes of the old Tao, such a humble room is a hundred times stronger than the filthy place full of copper smell, and the cultivator cultivates the heart and virtue, and the eyes are just clouds of smoke, and the Dugu city lord may promise that if no one rents here, it will be the residence of the old Tao, and he can live in peace. ”

This speech is quite fairy and high-minded, but it seems funny and abnormal to others. Xiao Er, who was above the restaurant next to him, muttered to himself after hearing it: "Shameless, I don't leave there, Lord Dugu sees that you are pitiful and lets you live there for a few months, and it is reasonable, cut, stinky cow nose!"

As soon as the words fell, Lao Dao sneezed several times, glanced at the restaurant, and wrapped the broken robe that was so oily that it was pitch black and shiny at night.

"What's wrong with the Dao Chief, is he sick?" Ji Yan saw that he was thin and old, and asked.

"Occasional wind chill, occasional wind chill...... Lao Dao wiped his nose and smiled.

Ji Yan saw that this person was a mortal man, just relying on other people's alms and his own two lips for a living, his heart was soft for a while, and all living beings were suffering, thinking that his face was quite accurate, so he gave all the silver taels left on his body to Lao Dao.

Lao Dao refused at first, but the thief's eyebrows and rat eyes, staring at the silver and no longer looking elsewhere, until finally Ji Yan felt that if he didn't let go, Lao Dao would rush in, and finally send out the money and leave.

Lao Dao weighed the few ingots of silver, looked at Ji Yan's back, and the mouse's eyes shone brightly:

"Young people are really easy to deceive, hehe has wine money, but it's better to avoid him, and it's over if you provoke this evil star!"

Ji Yan came to the inner city after a short time, and there were still many cultivators walking around on the road, but it was more harmonious and stable than the outer city, even if there was a slight collision, it disappeared in the middle of talking and laughing. Some people saw Ji Yan enter the city, and they didn't look at it as carefully as before, but they only looked at it a few times and then bowed their heads and walked away.

Ji Yan recalled what he had seen along the way and had an epiphany. This Dugu City Lord is really a good means, where can he use that earth-shattering power in the afternoon fight, it turned out to be a powerful way to beat everyone in the city. This city with many monks, the good and the bad are mixed, if there is no management, I am afraid that the internal vendetta has been continuous, falling apart, let alone going out of the city to destroy the demons. A powerful city lord took the opportunity to make trouble and showed his attitude, as if killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, and the effect was remarkable.

Suddenly, Ji Yan thought of a trip to Miasma Mountain, and the master took advantage of the situation to ask for medicine, and he was also telling himself to know how to take advantage of the situation. From this point of view, these two masters both believed in the way of the jungle.

I don't know when I will be able to catch a glimpse of this Dugu city lord who is regarded as a myth by the officers and soldiers in the city. After cultivating for 800 years, he guarded the Frost City alone, and the demons did not dare to attack, and how many fierce beasts and demons as strong as dragons died under his sword. In a huge beast tide, the city was broken, everyone was hopeless, he stood at the head of the city with a knife, and the ten fierce beasts of the ancients, the Ice Armor Demon Ying Dragon, fought for more than 100 rounds, and did not sleep for several days, the corpses of the demon beasts under his feet were piled up like a mountain, and finally dragged the aid of Zhongzhou to avoid the fall of Frost City. After the war, he only said one word to everyone, and then drifted into the city:

"Believe in Dugu, the frost will not fall!"

When recuperating in the pavilion, I often heard the myth of the Dugu City Lord preached by the officers and soldiers, but I never saw it, and I reported several times to thank the city lord for saving his life, but he did not reply, and he gave up helplessly, but he did not want to be saved today, and the Tao in Dugu City was profound, and he could not speculate.

Ji Yan looked up at the tall building built on the mountain peak, although he admired it, he couldn't meet it, shook his head and returned to the room.

It's just that he just took out the "Arhat Golden Body Formula" and wanted to comprehend the Dharma, when he heard a slight knock on the door. Slowly opened the door of the house, but it was an officer and soldier, courteous and polite, and said to him:

"Ji Gongzi, my city lord wants to have a light meal with you tomorrow afternoon, I wonder if Gongzi will have time?"

When Ji Yan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately agreed, and he was finally able to meet this mysterious city lord, and he was quite excited in his heart.

Pressing the joy in his heart, Ji Yan carefully studied Buddhism. Since the opening of his own sea of suffering, the Buddha power has hammered the skin meridians every day, and the Buddha power does not want to run as obscure as before, and has reached the level of freedom of retraction, and it is the lack of means to cast spells at this time. This "Arhat Golden Body Formula" is the fundamental mastery of Drepung Temple, Drepung Temple and Jinguang Temple belong to the same line, but it is a subordinate Zen Institute of Jinguang Temple, and the means by which are the eighteen Arhats Golden Body Dharma, each Arhat has boundless mana and different effects.

This dragon descending Arhat is the seventeenth Dharma Protector Arhat, who is infinitely powerful and can tear the dragon apart. That abstinence from greed must be to specialize in cultivating this Dharma and the golden body, and to break the Dharma with strength. The presiding officer of the temple of Drepung Temple is boundless Buddha power, one person has cultivated eighteen Dharma phases, which is useful, and the power is boundless, but to the younger generations, it is also limited by the true yuan of Buddha power, and can only specialize in one Dharma Phase, that is, the current host, and can only use the power of two Dharma Phases. Ji Yan stayed awake all night, carefully scrutinizing the mystery of Buddhism, immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.

The next day, Ji Yan bathed and changed clothes, and waited at the pavilion early in the morning. Not long after, sure enough, there were officers and soldiers who visited, led the way in front, and led Ji Yan to the tall building on the mountain peak.

Along the way, the monk and soldier sighed at Ji Yan's good fortune, and it was really a blessing to be able to share lunch with the city lord. Ji Yan was even more curious about what kind of charm this city lord had that could make the whole city unified.

The high places are not cold, and the ice field is already in early spring, but on this mountain peak, the temperature is still extremely low, and there is ice and snow all over it. Breathing in the cold air around them, they finally arrived at the City Lord's Mansion on the mountain peak.

The city lord's mansion occupies a large area, except for a cliff of enlightenment, almost all of them are surrounded by white walls and black tiles, the gate opens to the south, there is a two-story building in the northernmost center, carved railings and jade masonry, on both sides are low bungalows, everything is available, a huge cherry tree, red cherry blossoms bloom, surrounded by green trees, and flowing water through, the glazed tiles shine with dazzling brilliance, and a one-person high bronze bell is slowly swaying.

Outside there is ice and snow and winter, but the whole mansion is full of spring, and the small bridge is flowing water. The officers and soldiers were surprised when they saw Ji Yan and explained to him that there was a huge magic circle under this mansion, extracting the earth's leyline aura and maintaining the current scene.

What a big gesture! He led Ji Yan into the door and took him to the garden, and the officers and men respectfully retired and went to the upper and lower posts. Next to the cherry blossom tree, the grass is covered with light blue silk cloth, amber wine, jasper, golden foot bottles, and jade plates, which are really picturesque and wine-like springs. It seems that the city lord is still a vassal and elegant person, and he is really full of artistic conception.

Suddenly, a cold feeling came from his eyebrows, and someone in Ji Yan's mind came from behind. Hold a sword in your right hand, poof...... , with a soft sound, blocked the blade that was slashed at the neck. Ji Yan kicked back, drew his sword with the momentum, turned around, and did it in one go. The visitor chuckled and leaped backwards.

I saw a person coming, holding a three-foot long knife, the blade of the knife is two fingers wide, as thin as a line of water and sky, the blade is frosty and translucent, and the handle of the knife is extremely long under the flat gauntlet, sticking to the forearm. The man with the sword stood, dressed in a water-blue gauze robe, attached to the moon-white robe, the white jade waist was tied around the waist, the red hair on the top of his head hung down on his shoulders, and his black and shiny hair fluttered lightly in the wind.

Without waiting for Ji Yan to ask, he grabbed the handle of the knife with both hands and rushed towards Ji Yan. Ji Yan no longer hesitated, Qingping was in her hand and greeted her. Between the swords, the two did not infuse the true element, but only exchanged the sword intent of ordinary moves. Ji Yan and the other party went back and forth, and finally deliberately sold a flaw, making a downward split, the other party turned sideways, and the long knife stood obliquely. Seeing the momentum, Ji Yan suddenly froze, changed from splitting to sweeping, and swept towards the waist of the comer. The man in white smiled, blocked the oblique knife, pushed hard, the long knife turned around Qingping with the force, took the hilt, pushed it with both hands, and pressed the sword on Ji Yan's chest, but the handle was against Ji Yan's throat.

"Will!" a dashing and heroic voice sounded. However, Ji Yan did not panic, and a sword aura without killing intent condensed behind the man and slashed towards his back.

The man was not in a hurry, he snorted, and his body was like a blade that stood up to the sky, directly dispersing the sword qi. Put away the knife and walk to the bungalow next to it.

"The younger generation greets the Dugu City Lord, thank you for the City Lord's life-saving grace!" Ji Yan stood Qingping on his chest and bowed down.

The man in white is the Dugu City Lord, he straightened his messy clothes, snow-white skin, and he can be broken by blowing, and his jade hands straightened his hair, revealing the jealous face of the women in the world, his voice was elegant but powerful, and he said lightly:

"What seniors, there is only one Dugu Wushuang who guards the city here, and there is no predecessor to say. ”

Wiped the knife in his hand, put it in the sheath, and placed it on the knife holder, Dugu Wushuang turned around and stared at Ji Yan demonically, his eyes were deep, and he wanted to see it through. After a moment, look southeast:

"You're that guy's disciple, how can I not save it...... Whoever dares to make a mistake in my Frost City will only die!"
