This is the Sutra Pavilion of Heilong Temple. A row of white marble railings surrounded by cliffs. There is a small path paved with carved greystone bricks about half a person wide between the stone railings and the Sutra Pavilion wall.

Ding Xuan Peak went to the Sutra Pavilion, but did not go in. Instead, he followed the carved greystone brick path around the Sutra Pavilion and moved behind the Sutra Pavilion.

Behind the Sutra Pavilion is a cliff, and there is a not-wide wooded area under the cliff. After passing through the woods, the Jinshui River will be rolling.

I saw a tall man in Jinshuijiang with his hands behind his back. The man had a jade ring on his right thumb and played with a string of beeswax rosary on his left hand.

Even if the man in brocade was carrying Ding Xuanfeng on his back, you could feel his momentum and majesty.

Ding Xuanfeng became more and more respectful when he went to the Sutra Pavilion. Walking on the carved gray brick floor, he walked towards the man with his hands behind his back with his waist in a respectful manner.

When it was halfway from the man in brocade clothes, Ding Xuanfeng stopped respectfully, bowed his head and bowed, and said, "Xuanfeng has met the city lord."

The man in brocade slowly turned around and it was Han Shanxue, the lord of Furong City.

Han Shanxue's face and expression were not as kind as when receiving Caiqi and Lin Jinghong. He said lightly: "Forget it, you asked me to come here in a hurry, but what's the matter?"

Ding Xuanfeng lowered his head and nodded slightly, and said with a slight hesitation: "Today, the third lady came to Xuanfeng Xiuchun Garden. I wonder if you know about this, the city lord?"

Han Shanxue leaned slightly, looked at the surging Jinshui River and said, "I don't know, she came to find you, just to talk about family matters. You just invite me out for this?"

Ding Xuanfeng smiled, and the laughter was full of respect, saying, "The third lady came to Xiuchun Garden. If she was just talking to Xuanfeng, how could Xuanfeng work for the city lord? It's just... just..."

Han Shanxue said impatiently: "It's just something, you and me, just say anything directly."

Ding Xuanfeng said: "Yes, the city lord. The third lady asked Xuanfeng for something. Xuanfeng didn't know if it was the city lord who asked her to come or she came by herself, so..."

Han Shanxue was even more impatient and said, "What do she ask for? Just give it to her. Would you still make you poor?"

Ding Xuanfeng smiled and said, "Xuanfeng dared not. It was just that the thing the third lady wanted was the 'Treasure Cauldron'--"

Han Shanxue turned around suddenly, a ray of light shot out of his eyes, and looked at Ding Xuanfeng with sharp eyes and said, "What did you say! She asked you for the treasure-gathering tripod?"

Ding Xuanfeng said: "That's right, the third lady said she had a close friend. Because her close friend liked to collect antiques, the family was close to the city lord and said that she knew that I had an ancient 'Treasure Gathering Cauldron', so she asked her to ask Xuanfeng for it."

Han Shanxue frowned slightly and said, "How could she know that 'Treasure Cauldron'! How did you answer her?"

Ding Xuanfeng said: "Xuanfeng had to say that the 'Treasure Cauldron' was asked by the city lord. The third lady seemed very upset after hearing this. She left Xiuchun Garden without saying anything. It was because the matter was too serious, so Xuanfeng had to ask the city lord to meet in a hurry."

Han Shanxue let out a heavy breath, slowly tweaked the bees in her hand, and said in a deep voice: "Don't make this happen, I have my own arrangements, so you can go!"

Ding Xuanfeng nodded to Han Shanxue and bowed, saying, "Xuanfeng said goodbye, the city lord will walk slowly."

At the beginning of Yin, the moon had already set in the west.

However, Xingniang had already gotten up and arranged for the "breaking lovesickness" girl to prepare breakfast, and asked two older mothers to lay a thick layer of ice silk cushion in a carriage prepared for Lin Jinghong. Because she was afraid that Lin Jinghong would be hot on the road, she spread the bed of cold bamboo cushion on the ice silk cushion.

The preparations were completed, and it was already the beginning of the Mao hour.

When Liu Hanyan, Caiqi and Gong Qingqing got up, they saw that the exquisite and rich breakfast was ready, and the carriage prepared for Lin Jinghong was also ready, and they were very grateful.

Caiqi threw away all his disgust for Xingniang at this time, and took Xingniang's hand embarrassedly and said, "Sister Xingniang, I hated you very much before, but I didn't expect you to be so good. I'll apologize to you here!"

After Gong Qingqing said that, she bowed deeply to Xingniang.

Xing Niang quickly supported Gong Qingqing and said lightly: "Miss Gong, no need to do this! I am the one in this world, but you are a lady from a famous family. It is normal for you to hate me all the time. I have nothing to do, just because I see that Brother Lin is so brave at such a young age. It is also necessary to do something for him."

Xingniang had breakfast with the five of them, and personally fed Lin Jinghong to drink some juice and medicine. Gong Qingqing felt very sad when she saw Lin Jinghong still had a pale face and was unconscious.

After most of the hour of Mao, the sun has slowly risen.

Liu Hanyan rode a horse, Gong Qingqing drove a car, and Caiqi sat in the carriage to take care of Lin Jinghong.

Xingniang personally sent the four people out of the southern gate of Furong City - Guanghe Gate, before saying goodbye.

Gong Qingqing and the other two left Guanghe Gate and headed southwest.

Caiqi and Gong Qingqing took turns taking care of Lin Jinghong along the way. Although Lin Jinghong looked pale and unconscious, it seemed that his life was not seriously injured.

There was nothing wrong along the way. Furong City is not far from Shu Mountain. If you rush to reach the horse, you can reach it in half a day.

However, because they were afraid of aggravating Lin Jinghong's injuries, the three of them stopped their horses and walked slowly. They only took half of the journey after walking for a day.

Seeing that the sun was west, there was no Zhendian any further forward, but it was a pity that I stayed overnight.

While the three of them were hesitating, they saw a blue bottom and red edge floating not far ahead.

Liu Hanyan and Caiqi pulled their horses and walked towards the scapegoat. When they closer, they found that it was indeed an inn.

I saw that the inn was built against the mountain. The mountain was not high, but it was quite beautiful.

There is an open land in front of the woods at the foot of the mountain, which can be built in a wine shop.

In front of the inn is the driveway to Shushan, but it is really a Feng Shui treasure land.

I saw that the trick said "The plum fragrance stays forever", Caiqi thought to myself, but the inn owner was quite good.

Liu Hanyan and Caiqi strangled the horse's head and got off the horse.

A young man, who was fifteen or sixteen, had already greeted him when he heard the sound of horse hooves, held the reins of the two of them, and asked with a smile: "Do you stay in a hotel?"

Caiqi said: "Yes, little brother, do you have spacious and comfortable rooms here?"

The little brother smiled and said, "Oh, it's a coincidence that there is only a spacious room left here."

Caiqi said: "There is only one room left, but we have four of us, how can we live?"

Liu Hanyan said, "Forget it, junior sister. You and I are used to meditating. We will only meditate for a night. We just feel wronged by Miss Gong for a night."

Caiqi had no choice but to give up, and the two led the horse and drove the carriage into the yard.

The second brother skillfully helped unload the carriage, led the two horses to the backyard and tied them up, and fed them with fodder and clean water.

The second brother came back with the horse, Caiqi and Gong Qingqing helped Lin Jinghong out of the carriage, Liu Hanyan bent down and carried Lin Jinghong on his back.

Caiqi said: "My little brother, please lead us to the guest room first."

The little brother looked at Lin Jinghong and asked strangely: "What's wrong with this little brother? Seeing that his face is so pale, isn't he suffering from some serious illness?"

Gong Qingqing roared angrily: "Can you talk, your little brother? What are you talking nonsense? He is not seriously ill, but he is just a little injured!"

The little brother was shocked by Gong Qingqing's roar, thinking that this little girl is really fierce.

Caiqi comforted, "Don't be afraid of my second brother. Our friend was really just a little injured. We took him to Shushan for medical treatment. You don't have to mind, take us to the guest room to settle our friend first."

When the little brother heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes! Yes! Please follow me. If you want to go to Shushan to seek medical treatment and medicine, you are really here in the right place. We are hundreds of miles apart, who doesn't know that Shushan Sword Sect is an immortal who practices. They are all Bodhisattvas living in the world and the Heavenly Lord of the Wonderful Hands. They often give medicine and porridge, but we have received a lot of favors from them..."

The second brother kept talking enthusiastically, while luring Liu Hanyan and the other two from the inn to climb upstairs on the left side.

It turns out that Shushan is surrounded by mountains and the surface is humid. The inn is set on the first floor as the lobby, and the rooms are on the upper floor.

Gong Qingqing roared again: "I said, you little brother are talking about something, hurry up and lead the way! If we hadn't been able to relieve our near thirst, who would have gone to them to seek medical treatment in Shushan!"

The little brother was so scared that he almost fell off the stairs that had just climbed two steps. Caiqi hurriedly supported the little brother. Because Gong Qingqing was worried about Lin Jinghong, he felt unhappy, so Caiqi had to let her get angry.

The little brother was yelled by Gong Qingqing, and he didn't dare to say a word. He led Caiqi and the four of them to the guest room. He wanted to help Liu Hanyan arrange Lin Jinghong to lie down, but Gong Qingqing drove him out.

Caiqi and the other two lay down Lin Jinghong and covered him with a quilt.

Liu Hanyan sat beside the bed and took a vein for Lin Jinghong. Seeing that although Lin Jinghong's pulse was weak, it was still relatively stable, the three of them felt relieved.

Because they were worried about Lin Jinghong's safety, the three of them ordered some food for the second brother to take to the room. They ate some randomly. Caiqi asked the second brother to take the bedding and bamboo mat and lay a floor for Gong Qingqing on the ground. After the placement, Caiqi and Liu Hanyan sat quietly on two chairs beside the window of the aisle.

Gong Qingqing couldn't sleep after lying down, and sat up and meditated, but she still couldn't calm down.

At midnight, the moonlight shone in through the lattice of the inn windows.

Because the window was covered with white window paper, the window paper turned slightly yellow over time, and the moonlight that penetrated in was hazy.

Occasionally, a cricket and a frog crow came from the fields in front of the inn and the woods behind.

In the world, except for the cold mountain moon, there is no wind, and the whole world seems very quiet.

Suddenly, a slight wind blew across the roof...

Liu Hanyan and Caiqi immediately opened their eyes and were fully alert. Immediately afterwards, another ray of wind passed by the window. Gong Qingqing also opened her eyes, half-sitted up, and stared at the doors and windows alertly.

Quarre—! A frog croaker came, and then the frog croaker sang together, and the world seemed to have returned to tranquility.

Huh... Huh...

It seemed that a few breezes passed by quickly. Gong Qingqing lie in his hand, staring at the doors and windows intently, and keeping all his guard.

Crazy-

There was only a crisp sound, and a big hole was broken into the roof.

A cold moonlight shone in, and the blue-black roof tiles fell from the roof to the floor of the room, smashing to pieces.

Three figures slid down from the hole on the roof along the moonlight, and the figure was like a ghost, silent.

Gong Qingqing held the jade flute in his hand, turned around and blocked Lin Jinghong's bed, posing in a defensive position.

The three figures attacked Gong Qingqing with one sword, and two raised their swords and stabbed Liu Hanyan and Caiqi.

The three figures were all covered in black, and their sword moves were so fierce and as if invisible.

Gong Qingqing swept the jade flute horizontally, and the flute was swept out, and the blue waves rose.

The man in black quickly dodged his body, and the long sword in his hand did not meet Gong Qingqing's jade flute at all.

Caiqi and Liu Hanyan were also light and slipped, avoiding the two swords that were attacking.

As the two slid away, Liu Hanyan and Caiqi dodged, drew their swords and swung their swords to fight back in one go, and their body movements were free and fast as if they were flowing.
