Chapter 4: Gongzhou City
Gongzhou City is the largest city within a thousand miles, and it is also Gao Xian's first stop when he goes down the mountain.
Even in winter, it seemed very lively. There was an endless stream of caravans along the main road. Gao Xian and Lu Canghai headed towards the south gate of Gongzhou City.
"Sir, why are you going to Gongzhou?" Gao Xian was the first to speak, otherwise Lu Canghai would have been like a dull gourd, saying nothing the whole time.
"Killing the person who deserves to be killed will bring justice to the injustice." Lu Canghai was carrying a bamboo hat and a sword on his back, riding on a bad horse, as if he was still immersed in the sword strike yesterday.
"Where is the Immortal?" After a moment of silence, Lu Canghai asked back.
"Exterminate demons, defend the Tao, and save the common people." Gao Xian leaned on the donkey, flipping through a Taoist scripture and answered.
Then there was another long silence.
Lingshui flows out from the side of Gongzhou, and willows are planted along the embankments on both sides of the river. If it is spring and summer, there must be many scholars and ladies on both sides of the river who are outing and looking for friends, and sailing boats are sailing on the water.
, full of poetry and painting.
But at the moment there was only ice and snow, and pedestrians everywhere were shivering from the cold and hunched over.
After passing through the city gate, the street shops were full of customers and there was an endless stream of people. The hawkers passed by the two people like running water, and the two people said goodbye.
When saying goodbye, Lu Canghai handed a long scroll to Gao Xian.
"This scroll is a picture of a Taoist god that I obtained in the past. It comes from Kunlun, the ancestral court of the Taoist sect. It is said that it contains some secrets. The emperor of Shu in the west once searched for this thing everywhere, but I think only a Taoist god like you can."
It’s worthy of this picture.”
It can be seen that Lu Canghai is a proud person and does not want to owe anyone favors.
Whether it was Gao Xian who saved his life yesterday or the sword that inspired him, it was all included in this picture of the Taoist Master that even the Emperor of Shu wanted to obtain.
Gao Xian was not pretentious and accepted Lu Canghai's gift.
Lu Canghai put on his bamboo hat and straightened his gown: "Since I started practicing swordsmanship, I have warned myself that the world is vast and strong men will emerge in large numbers."
"But unknowingly, I have long been lost in the false reputation of the third sword in the world. If you hadn't rescued me yesterday, I would have died in the hands of the demon wolf. I will still walk with the sword and hone my sword skills.
.”
"Let's just say goodbye."
The two did not say anything about seeing each other again in the future, nor did they exchange addresses.
They said goodbye and left towards both sides of the avenue without looking back.
Meeting in the vast sea of people is fate, and whether we can see each other again depends entirely on fate.
Don’t ask about the way forward.
Gao Xian liked this feeling very much, it seemed that this was how the world in his mind should be.
After entering the city, Donkey, who had been holding back all the way, finally found the opportunity to speak. He couldn't wait for a place to drink and eat.
Gao Xian sat swaying on the donkey, basically not looking at the road. Anyway, the donkey has automatic navigation, so he is not afraid of going wrong. There will be a bell to remind him when he reaches the place.
"Great Immortal Kongchenzi, the inn has been found." The donkey brayed and the bell rang at this time, and there was a three-story wooden building called the Yingying Inn in front of it.
However, not far away, there was a large circle of A, B, B, D and D in front of Ximen Street, which caught Gao Xian's attention. When he walked over, he found a man's arrest notice posted on the city wall.
The painting shows a handsome man with an evil smile and holding a folding fan.
The ordinary-looking Jianghu swordsman read out the contents of the notice: "Master Yinhua, if you find his traces and inform the government to confirm it, you will be rewarded fifty taels of silver. If you kill him and capture him, you will get one thousand taels?"
The hawker who was carrying the burden was greedy: "A thousand taels of silver is nothing. This Young Master Yinhua is not an ordinary person. The seventh generation owner of Yinhua Palace in the Northern Wei Dynasty was as rich as anyone in the country. Just the fan in his hand.
It's called the Mountain and River Splendid Fan, and it was a gift from the Martial Saint before the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is priceless."
A well-informed scholar sneered at the trafficker: "This devil is not easy to mess with. He is extremely treacherous. I don't know how many martial arts masters have fallen into his hands. Every time he appears, he kills people like rivers of blood.
It is said that it is better to provoke the anger of the sword god than to laugh at anyone. If you really encounter one, don’t think about the money and run away for your life!"
Gao Xian sat on the donkey and leaned over, staring at the one thousand taels of silver.
Most of the few taels of silver collected from the bandit leader were spent on a few meals and drinks on the way.
Donkey understood the thoughts of Kongchen Immortal very well, so he asked in a low voice: "Great Immortal? Will you accept it? After doing this, we won't have to worry about food and drink, and we can go back to the mountain."
Immortal Kongchen was extremely dissatisfied with the donkey's words. He slapped the donkey on the head and said, "I, the noble Kongchenzi, passed by this place to slay demons and demons. Why do I turn into a dog-eat-dog who chases bad smells for money?"
After giving the general a lesson, Gao Xian stood up and found something else. He pointed at the folding fan on the arrest portrait: "I like that fan of his! It's very handsome!"
Turning around and going to the street, he stopped at the noodle stall in front of the inn and ordered some noodles. Gao Xian sat down and heard everyone at the noodle stall discussing the matter of the Yinhua Old Demon. Based on the discussion sounds of the people around him, Gao Xian also knew that it was
what's the situation.
A few days ago, Jianghu received news that Young Master Yinhua from the Kingdom of Wei in the north was about to appear in Gongzhou City. The beauty of the Wei Duke Li sisters spread throughout the world. Li married into the palace of the Zhou Dynasty as a concubine, and Yinhua
Of course the young master would not dare to break into the Zhou Palace, and his target would be the two daughters of the Li family.
The world's top masters gathered in Gongzhou City, as well as people from the imperial court's Wuyi Department, in order to completely keep this evil criminal who was wanted by the Zhou Kingdom for several years but has not been apprehended.
Young Master Yinhua is the master of Yinhua Palace who is well-known in the magic world. His favorite thing is beauties. Every time he appears, he is trying to collect beauties from all over the world in Yinhua Palace.
Moreover, they are all interested in famous beauties in the world. They not only want to be beautiful, but also have to be famous.
For example, the Saint of the Moon God Palace, who was once the most beautiful woman in the Western Shu Kingdom, fell into the hands of Young Master Yinhua, controlled by him with poison, unable to live or die, and became his plaything.
In the east, there is a legendary couple from the Tianshan Mountains in the Yu Kingdom. The husband of the couple was tortured and killed by Young Master Yinhua, and the heroine was trained by him to become one of the eight beauties of Yinhua Palace.
Qingyi, the master of the Qingyi Sect of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was favored by Young Master Yinhua. The Yinhua Master massacred all the Qingyi Sect members and took her back to the Yinhua Palace to indulge in sexual and humiliation. He even treated her as a maid in the Yinhua Palace.
The devil of hospitality.
He is not a flower-picking thief who steals fragrance and jade. As long as the silver-colored young man likes a woman, he never steals or steals it, but robs it nakedly.
He seemed to be enjoying the feeling that as long as he was in his sight, others could not escape no matter how desperate they struggled.
This time, Le Xiang'er who appeared in the Great Zhou Dynasty had caused harm to Tianxiang Pavilion, the mysterious nun Fanhui, the concubine of the head of the Li family, a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, and the daughter of the governor of Wenxi County. The whole world was stirred up by them.
Experts from all walks of life were chasing him, and even the imperial court failed to catch him.
His lightness skills are unparalleled. Those who can defeat him in the arena cannot catch up with him, and those who can catch him cannot defeat him. He is also good at using poisons and hidden weapons, and he is even more cunning.
Especially these businessmen and hawkers, when they talk about these things, they will also bring some imaginary and erotic jokes, which are vivid and vivid, making people have evil thoughts and envy, jealousy and hatred for the old devil Yinghua.
Of course, the Great Immortal Kongchen devoted himself to exterminating demons and defending the Tao, so these obscene words passed by his ears like the wind and did not stay in his heart at all.
It's just that the pants are a little tight.
In the corner, the donkey guardian general tied to Gao Xian's side was like a roundworm in Gao Xian's belly. He said with a lewd donkey smile: "Wow! This Young Master Yinhua is so enviable!"
"Great Immortal, how about we stop being positive characters? Let's become demons instead?"
The donkey general opened his mouth wide and swung his tongue back and forth with the evil smile on his face, almost drooling: "Look at this devil, rich and beautiful, he can do whatever he wants, and he can do whatever he wants, compared to what he does in the mountains.
The poor Taoist priests are much more at ease.
