While talking, Cang Lu arrived in front of the pavilion.
Master Yunlang saw that everyone was beaming and smiling, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. When he was about two feet above the ground, he directly collected the cang reed. Seeing that there was no support under him, the children were about to fall, and they were so frightened that they were about to fall. yelled.
Master Yunlang saw that they were about to fall to the ground, so he waved his sleeves, and their falling speed slowed down a bit. They stopped at about half a person's height, and then fell to the ground with a thud.
Each one of them covered their buttocks and grinned, as if they were defeated cocks, and no longer had any excitement at all.
Seeing this, Master Yunlang put away his smile and said with a straight face: "There happens to be a pool of clear water here. You guys should clean it up quickly and change your clothes. We are going to go to the city.
After arriving in the city, you must be obedient and don't cause trouble. After I lead you to buy food, you will find a place to have a good rest. You will continue your journey early tomorrow morning. "
After hearing this, they hurried to the pool to clean their little faces. He just made some random gestures, hurriedly changed his clothes, and then followed Master Yunlang and a group of more than a dozen people into the official road and walked toward the city in a mighty manner.
As we got closer and closer to the city, more and more people were coming and going. There were merchants and hawkers carrying burdens, and there were also horsemen driving carriages to transport cotton and fabrics for people. Some were gorgeously dressed, and some were He was dressed in simple clothes and had an otherworldly temperament. He was walking with a group of country urchins, which attracted special attention.
This is Master Yunlang and his party. In the doubtful eyes of a group of people, Master Yunlang quickened his pace, led the large army, and quickened his pace. He did not want to become the focus of everyone's attention.
After walking for about a stick of incense, they arrived at the city gate.
The walls of this city are about five feet high and two feet thick, and the square bricks used to build the city are each about five feet long and two feet square on the sides. The bricks are staggered and the gaps in the middle are sealed with soil. It looks very Sturdy.
On the top of the tall city wall, there is a continuous concave and convex tooth-shaped ridge wall on the outside. There are crenels on the top for archery and observation, and there are ventilation holes on the bottom to protect the wall.
The low railing on the inside is slightly lower than the crenel, which can fully play a protective role and prevent the patrolling soldiers above from falling. In the center of the gate of the city wall, there is a tower with double eaves resting on the top of the mountain and dragon heads flying over the eaves, which looks very delicate and beautiful.
On the outside of the wall, at certain intervals, there is a section of wall platform protruding from the outside of the wall.
Under the tower is a steel cable suspension bridge, which is built on the moat of more than 100 meters. When necessary, it can also be hoisted to isolate the city from the outside world.
There are two large mountains connected to both sides of the city. The mountain on the left is called "Cangmu" and the mountain on the right is called "Jishi". The steep mountains cover both sides of the city and become a natural shelter.
The city located in it has become the only transportation artery within a hundred miles, which is why it seems so prosperous.
It was the first time Wu Fan saw such a magnificent building, and he was deeply immersed in the magnificent scene. At this moment, he suddenly woke up, and then raised his head to look at the stone plaque inlaid on the city wall above the city gate.
The plaque is surrounded by carved patterns of auspicious clouds, which exactly correspond to the dragon-headed eaves of the tower. In the middle of the plaque are carved three characters - Cang La City.
Cangga City stands on the mountain, so it is named after the mountain. It is integrated with the mountain. It is really majestic and natural. It is really a masterpiece of nature.
After calming down his shocked mood, Wu Fan looked around and found that everyone had the same shocked expression. After walking out of the mountain and into the colorful and bustling world, he realized that his previous so-called longings and reveries, It's so insignificant.
A group of children who were walking and watching slowly followed Master Yunlang to the city gate. There were two rows of soldiers guarding the city gate. They all had their left hands close to their thighs, and their right hands were holding long spears as tall as one person. Their bodies were tense. Standing straight, his eyes kept scanning the crowd. If he saw someone with a sinister look or a strange expression, he would go up and interrogate him. The guard was very tight.
One of them, who seemed to be a squad leader or something, was a little more laid-back than these soldiers. When he saw Master Yunlang, he strode forward, saluted, clasped his fists and said, "Master Yunlang, you have accepted disciples a lot earlier this time."
Master Yunlang heard a muffled thunder in his ears, turned around and saw a strong man nearly ten feet tall standing next to him, wearing a silver scale armor, with a machete carved with snake patterns on his waist, and a face with Chinese characters. , thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, and thick beard on both sides make him look like a wild beast. This man is Feng Hu, the defending general of Cangxi City.
Master Yunlang nodded slightly and replied: "Oh, it's General Feng. The world has been a bit uneasy recently, and the demons in the Demon Locking Tower have also begun to lurk, so you should be more careful."
General Feng Hu nodded, "I will follow the teachings of the real person."
Master Yunlang waved his hand and said, "I have to take care of things, so I'll leave now." After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Master, go slowly." The general sent Yun Lang and his party away, then went back to guard.
Walking into the city, you can hear a burst of noise, shouting, playing and talking.
Wu Fan had been listening to the gurgling sound of the stream for a long time in the mountains. He was used to being quiet. Suddenly he heard so many sounds. It felt as if his head was about to explode. He followed the crowd dizzily, as if he was drunk. generally.
Suddenly he felt his body touch a piece of softness, maybe he hit something, and he quickly came to his senses.
Hearing an ouch, Wu Fan looked around and found that he had bumped into a girl. He quickly stepped forward to apologize and was about to pull her up, but he froze the moment his eyes fell on the girl.
I saw a pair of water-like eyes on her delicate face, her cheeks were freshly peeled, her nose was greasy, and she had bright eyes and zirconium teeth.
A black silk hair is loosely pulled up into a bun on her head, with a white jade chilong hairpin inserted on it. She is wearing a jade-lined dress with pale pink butterfly patterns embroidered on the lace, which are vivid and vivid as the breeze blows. , seems to be dancing gracefully.
There is a gauze belt tied around Yangliu's slender waist, which makes her look slim and graceful. Hanging on the belt is a blue sword. The sword is three feet and five inches long. There are blue lines on the scabbard, and you can faintly see the sword from it. There was a biting air of ice on the sword, and the sword hilt was inlaid with six light blue gems.
Such a soft and beautiful woman, paired with a frost sword, looked so stunning that Wu Fan couldn't help but be fascinated by it.
When the girl saw Wu Fan staring straight at her, she frowned and was about to get angry. But when she raised her head to meet Wu Fan's eyes, she didn't feel greed or blasphemy at all, but felt shy and at a loss. .
Her face turned slightly red, and she stretched out a jade hand to catch Wu Fan's raised hand.
At this moment, a handsome young man dressed in white and wearing a jade crown flashed out from behind the girl, with a look of contempt and hostility in his eyes.
A cold light flashed in his hand, and he raised his sword to sweep towards Wu Fan. Master Yunlang was about to scold him, but it was too late.
Wu Fan was very panicked. He was attacked for the first time and he really didn't know what to do. At the critical moment of life and death, the contents of the book flashed in his mind. He made a fist with his right hand as a reflex and reached out to swing the young man's sword hand.
The young man was stunned for a moment when he saw this. He originally just wanted to scare the country bumpkin and leave a wound to teach him a lesson. If the country bumpkin reacted quickly and fell backward, he would only be able to fall to the ground and be embarrassed in front of everyone. Just a face.
But who would have thought that this seemingly cowardly child would act like this? Could he be a fool who doesn't want his life? The young man's face couldn't help but add a hint of contempt, and he made up his mind and slashed at Wu Fan's fist.
But just when the young man was distracted, Wu Fan's fist came one step ahead and hit the back of the young man's sword-holding hand with a click. As soon as the young man's hand hurt, he took off the sword and stabbed it on the ground. With a clang, it was inserted into the bluestone on the ground.
Hearing the commotion here, several people dressed in the same clothes as the boy rushed over from the crowd. They were all members of the "Fang Family", one of the big families in Cangxi City.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"Did Senior Brother Fang Wei hit someone again?"
After whispering to each other, those people all turned their attention to Wu Fan, who was holding a fist and was stunned. Without saying a word, they all drew their swords and were about to charge forward. Master Yunlang couldn't help but shook his head, and was about to prepare. Step forward to stop him.
At this time, someone heard someone shouting: "Stop it!"
Those people quickly put away their swords and saluted the visitor: "Master, this kid hurt Senior Brother Fang Wei... He..."
"Forget it, I already know what happened. Besides, how can I not know about your virtues?"
The person who came was wearing a white robe trimmed with blue and white flowers, with sword eyebrows, sword temples, and a hooked nose. His face was sharp and angular, as if the whole person was a sword.
After scolding the disciples, he said loudly to Master Yunlang: "Senior Brother Yunlang, it's been a long time since I last saw you. Why do you have time to come here?"
Yun Lang frowned slightly when he saw this person, and said slightly unhappily: "Junior brother Hongfeng, you are really good at watching shows."
Na Hongfeng heard the smell of gunpowder in Yunlang's words, but he didn't care, "Haha, kids are joking. If we bother to interfere, let's just discuss it."
"What a joke, it almost destroyed one of our Yuhu Sect disciples' arms!" Seeing that Yun Lang was really angry, Hong Feng persuaded with a smile: "Senior brother, think about what your sect has experienced in the past few years. Unfortunately, we recruit disciples from the barren mountains and ridges, with no qualifications or skills. How many can make a name for themselves? I, too, was that stupid boy just now who is in good health, so I didn’t rush to stop him. I wanted to see if he had any skills."
"You have also seen that this boy is very brave. Didn't he injure all my new disciples? The reason I came to Cangga City this time is because there are a group of sword-wielding disciples from several big families here. They have very good qualifications and are here to recruit them into our Sword Star Residence. Especially the youngest daughter of Shi Tianshun, the lord of Canggu City just now. Although she has a delicate body, she is very skilled in swordsmanship. Hey, look at it. I digressed again. Senior brother, let’s forget it for today.”
Master Yunlang sighed slightly, thinking that this was indeed the case. In those days, the Jade Hu Sect prospered just because of the name of Ancestor Mingyuan, which attracted high-ranking officials and nobles from all over the country to rush to send talents. Now, Elder Mingyuan The ancestor is hidden in the world, and I don’t know if he is still alive.
Coupled with the catastrophe, the vitality was severely damaged and declined year by year. In recent years, there was really no outstanding person like the ancestor who was alone. The children of the famous nobles had all gone and been abducted by other sects.
It really corresponds to those words: a dragon swims in shallow water and is teased by shrimps; a tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs. A successful cat is more ferocious than a tiger, and a fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken.
I had no choice but to deceive myself and others with the idea of uncovering jade from the mountains, and lowered my face to go to the remote countryside to recruit disciples. I also hoped that there would really be a piece of jade that would illuminate the Jade Pot Sect. There was a man named Wu Hao who had good qualifications and made progress. Shensu, it seems that Wu Fan has a deep relationship with him, but it's a pity...
He looked back at Wu Fan and saw that there was nothing unusual about him. He stopped his disturbing thoughts and said to Hong Feng: "Well, it's normal for children to play and fight. Since there is no problem, let's call it a day. It’s been a long time since our senior brothers caught up with each other. Time is urgent this time. We’ll talk about it later when we have time. I’m going to rush back to the sect after a short stop and say goodbye!”
"Okay, senior brother, take care and say goodbye!"
After saying that, Master Yunlang took his disciples to buy food. Hongfeng glared at Fang Wei and led them to the other side.
