The meandering Jiaojiang River originates from the Snowy Mountains, flows out of the Tuozhou Gorge with majestic force, and rushes out of the fertile wilderness of Daning.

When the river passes through Hesaka Zhongxuan, the river flow slows down and the river becomes wider. It reaches ten miles wide at the mouth of the sea. Over thousands of years, sand has been accumulated and large and small sandbars have been piled up at the mouth of the sea.

The sandbanks gradually alluvialized into islands, the largest of which had been built as a city four generations ago. As the sand continued to accumulate, the area of ​​the sandy islands continued to expand. Every time the dynasty changed, the city wall was expanded to Daning.

At that time, four high walls had been built inside and outside Donghai City.

Donghai City is a battleground for military strategists. It is well-defended and has many garrisoned troops. Also, because it is located at the intersection of Jiaojiang River and the sea, all trade from the outer sea and inland rivers circulates here. Although it is not as wealthy as Nanhai City.

It's oily, but it's also one of the richest cities in the country.

The large market in the city is full of all kinds of rare products, and there is a constant flow of merchants and customers.

Miao Cheng accompanied his senior brother Ai Shi to visit the medicine market for most of the day and bought a lot of precious medicinal materials from home and abroad. Half of them were to honor his master and his uncle, and the other half were for Gao Quan to restore his soul.

Miao Cheng always remembered that his master missed Zhangpu moxa dumplings. He could have bought them when he passed by Zhangpu on the way back, but moxa dumplings were not easy to store and would become stale in three to five days. If they were sent all the way to Dazhen Temple, Baimao would not know.

How long does it have to grow?

There are only difficult things, not people.

Ai Tuan is not difficult to make. The key is to use authentic raw materials. I have already bought a pack of jade glutinous rice flour from Zhangpu and green sugar cane sand. The only thing missing is the soul ingredient - ten-year-old ai. I am rushing to Donghai City Medicine.

There was one on the market, and Miao Cheng happily bought ten kilograms of it.

In the afternoon, Master Ai bought two more Western colorful glazed incense burners at the curio market, one for his master and one for his senior brother. Then he returned to the inn, packed his things, and prepared to leave in the morning.

Miao Cheng was missing his left hand, and Master Ai didn't need him to pack his things. He was bored and walked out of the inn alone, taking advantage of the night to climb the third nearby city wall, looking around, and chatting to relieve his worries.

The Donghai City is high inside and low outside. Now only the outermost wall is in use, and the four walls inside the city are abandoned. He stood on the third city wall and looked towards the dark east. There was a cluster of nebulae in the sky and a galaxy on the sea.

The late fishing fire flickers dimly.

The sea breeze blew gently along the city wall, bringing the smell of the ocean. He thought deeply and looked into the distance, missing Xiao Ni in the direction of thousands of mountains and islands, thinking about whether she had been punished by her father for releasing him, and thinking about going to

When can I see her true face again?

It's strange to say that he was always a little resistant to the eccentric Xiao Ni when they spent all day and night overseas. Now that they are far away across the ocean, he only misses her.

As I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart, and turned to look at the deep dusk in the north.

There is a sincere request from the prince, how should Gao Quan deal with it?

Since you have made a promise, you must keep it. You have already agreed to Prince Jing's affairs, and you must not break your oath. However, when he was in the palace, he played well with Gao Quan, but the love between brother and sister was more than the love between man and woman. He was about to appeal to that

The desire to marry is obviously awkward.

Or if you wait two more years, will Gao Quan feel more at ease when he grows up?

But God asked Sa Bin Mo Ni to break into his world. This quirky girl was stuck in his heart and he couldn't get rid of it or forget it. It was half a promise and half a feeling. It was really a torment of ice and fire.

The heartache is even worse than the pain of breaking my wrist.

After sitting in the wind with random thoughts for a long time, he suddenly heard the intermittent emergency whistle of his sect against the sound of the wind. Miao Cheng suddenly came to his senses: Could it be that senior brother is in danger?

He hurriedly jumped off the city wall and ran towards the inn. From a distance, he saw Master Ai standing outside the door, looking around. Although he looked anxious, it didn't look like there was any danger. Miao Cheng felt a little relieved.

When Ai Shi saw Miao Cheng coming back, he hurriedly waved. After entering the room, Miao Cheng was about to ask Ai Shi why he whistled when he suddenly saw Yin Puxuan, whose clothes and hair were all wet, standing beside him.

After all, Zhou Gang was loyal to King Jing. If King Jing was revealed, he would not be able to kill Qi Jun. The key was to be quick. Miao Cheng immediately left the city and headed south to look for Zhou Gang.

Unexpectedly, there was a delay in inquiring about the information among the five gangs and twelve factions. Miao Cheng left the city and Zhou Gang entered the city. They were distracted twice. By the time Miao Cheng rushed back to the East China Sea, the people in the city had already crowded into the streets. Look at the fire in the bell tower of the old city.

It's lively.

Miao Cheng knew that the Bell Tower was the headquarters of the Five Gangs and Twelve Factions in the East China Sea. He had asked about Zhou Gang's whereabouts here before. At that time, he thought that Qi Jun had been escorted south, and he was imprisoned inside. He saw someone coming out from above.

When something happened, I hurriedly used Qinggong to fly over the wall and in the blink of an eye I was already close.

The bell tower was actually run by five gangs and twelve factions into a courtyard with several floors inside and outside. The heaviest fire was near the old bell tower in the center. There was basically no fire on the outside, but the gate was densely surrounded by officers and soldiers from the Shuizi Camp and the Donghai Mansion.

An official of the Yamen.

They were busy carrying soil, carrying water, and gesticulating in a very messy manner, but they seemed to be blocked by the five gangs and twelve factions from entering the courtyard. They stayed outside and worked in a hurry. They could only surround the courtyard first to prevent the fire from spreading to surrounding houses.

Miao Cheng walked around to the side where there were few people and the lights were dark, flew up to the house, and jumped three courtyard walls. When he moved forward, the flames in the courtyard had already licked the three-story tree, and the sky was filled with thick smoke.

Sparks surged up into the dark sky.

The fire burned the living trees, which made crackling sounds like exploding beans. The fire howled in the wind, and was vaguely mixed with the fierce shouts of killing in the courtyard.

Miao Chengzhen was anxious, fearing that Qi Jun would be harmed inside. He hurriedly found a quilt in a nearby room, soaked it with water, wrapped the edge of the quilt tightly around his left arm with his right hand, then firmly grasped the quilt and draped it on his back.

Find a wall with a small fire, temporarily close your breath, and jump into the fire.

Even though he was wearing a wet quilt, Miao Cheng still injured his calf due to the flames. When he got out of the fire wall, he dropped the quilt and picked up his sword, and recognized that this was the Bell Tower courtyard.

He looked around and saw that the ground was littered with corpses. The sound of dense weapons clashing came from the right. The smoke and dust made it difficult to see who was fighting. It seemed that three or four people were surrounding one person. The fight was extremely fierce.

While he was concentrating on distinguishing, there was suddenly a huge sound of cracking silk from the left, and then the ground beneath his feet shook three times as if he was sneezing. Thunder exploded in his ears, and then the strong wind rolled up the hot sand and rushed towards him.

Come, the collision caused Miao Cheng to take three steps to the side, and the fire behind him was extinguished by 50% due to the majesty of the thunder.

Dust mixed with thick smoke was swirling around. Miao Cheng squinted and saw that something had happened to the bell tower. The huge bell had somehow crashed down, making a big dent in the stone tower.

The edge of the bell was covered in darkness with broken limbs and broken bones. One person was cut off from the waist, and his eyeballs popped out of his sockets. However, he was not dead yet. He opened his mouth wide and could not make any sound, and struggled to crawl forward.

, he stiffened his fingers ten times before he breathed his last. The tragic scene was unbearable to look at.

There were still seven or eight living people surrounding the giant clock, their hands and feet dancing wildly as if they were possessed by a demon. Looking at the ground, there was a dense layer of dark ripples surging towards the few remaining living people. For a moment,

After that, the howling sound turned from fierce to weak, and the corpses melted into a ball of mud and fell to the ground like a burning candle.

At this moment, a strange pink cloud fell from the top of the bell tower and joined the siege on the right side of the courtyard.

Miao Cheng's body trembled.

He could see clearly, who else could this person be if it wasn't Hui Mixuan!

After seeing her and the unknown poison densely packed under the giant bell, he didn't dare to blame her. He had to have his senior brother come to cure her. He hurriedly took out his sect's distress rocket and lit it on the fire behind him.

The rocket screamed into the sky, flashing brightly under the dark red sky.

As soon as he made any movement here, he immediately attracted the attention of the lurkers around him. The earthen xun crawling in the darkness of the bell tower suddenly began to whimper in a low voice. The poisonous insects wandering around the clock in a frenzied manner received instructions and turned their spearheads in unison, heading towards the bell like a tide.

Miao Cheng came.

Miao Cheng knew that the poison was strange and did not dare to stay on the ground anymore. He looked at the unfired roof in front of him and jumped.

As soon as his feet touched the tiles, three bright long swords stabbed him from below.

Miao Cheng responded with great speed. Shuihong made a circle around his body, the bright blade flowed with flames, and a red cloud enveloped Miao Cheng's three steps.

With three ding-ding-ding sounds, the red flame water rainbow fended off the enemy's sneak attack. The first long sword that struck the water rainbow was immediately broken into two pieces.

Although the enemy swords were blocked, the three enemies had already jumped onto the roof. Two long swords and a broken sword were divided into three directions, the upper, middle and lower parts, and they pierced towards Miao Cheng.

Miao Cheng was startled. He kicked up his legs and hit two swords. At the same time, Shuihong slashed down, and with a clang, he cut off another section of the broken sword.

With one move to dodge, the water rainbow protrudes into thousands of lotus flowers to avoid the opponent. At this time, Fang asked his surprised words.

"Are you people who understand the truth?"

No one answered, only the long sword stabbed at him.

Miao Cheng could see it very clearly. The three of them were all practicing the authentic Dazhen Guan sword technique, and he was also using the Dazhen Guan sword technique. The three of them could not fail to see that. Since they knew they were from the same sect, they still spoke unceremoniously.

If you attack yourself, there must be a big problem.

He forced the three swords away again and asked angrily: "Whose disciples are you, and why are you helping the evildoers here?"

At this moment, the three of them stood in a formation and surrounded Miao Cheng. They all covered their faces. No matter how Miao Cheng asked, the three of them remained silent.

The man with the broken sword was the most annoyed. He was proud of his long sword and asked Shuihong to cut it off twice, but he couldn't say a word. He had nowhere to vent his frustration. He simply used the broken sword in his hand as a hidden weapon and threw it at Miao Cheng, then pulled it out.

With the dagger in their boots, the three of them attacked again.

Whether he was more confused or angry, Miao Cheng himself couldn't tell clearly. He only knew that he didn't dare to be careless.

Within ten moves, it has been determined that these three people are all masters of Da Zhen Guan. They don't look like Taoist priests. They must be top talents among the lay disciples in the outer courtyard. The other party should also have guessed his own way at this moment, and his hands are constantly adding strength.

, his moves became more and more cruel, and he regarded his fellow disciples as enemies.

The fight here was about the honor and disgrace of the master. Miao Cheng had to deal with it carefully. He could neither let them succeed nor hurt their lives. He secretly planned that he must subdue all three of them, and then carefully ask them why they surrendered.
