Tianxia Wharf, the place where things come from and where things come from, coins from Suzhou and Hangzhou, grain from Huaiyin, salt from Weiyang, goods from Linqing and Jining, carts and mules from Xuzhou, city gods from the capital, antiques from the Lantern Festival, rice from Wuxi, books from Jianyang,

Porcelain from Fuliang, Qiang from Ningtai, Fanbo from Xiangshan, Ji from Guangling, and lacquerware from Wenzhou are the best in overseas markets.

When Song Xing took a boat south and arrived at Zhangzhou Yuegang, he saw the prosperous scene as described in "Guang Zhi Yi" as soon as he got off the boat.

From the end of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty, the prohibition and liberalization of maritime trade continued throughout the Ming Dynasty's hundreds of years of rule. When the Ming Dynasty was founded, in order to prevent the remnants of warlords and pirates, he ordered that no one be allowed to enter the sea.

Later generations, with many repetitions, have been oscillating between banning the sea and opening up sea trade. It was not until the Long Qing Dynasty, Shenzong's father, that private merchants were allowed to do business overseas, that the sea trade was officially opened.

During the reign of Shenzong, with the strong national power and the huge profits brought by maritime trade, the trade between Nanming and overseas reached its peak.

Tea, rice, salt, silk, porcelain, and hundreds of commodities from the Central Plains are traded in Yuegang. Precious metals, spices, animal skins and other local products from Fuso, Nanyang and other places are also transported to the interior of the Central Plains through here.

In addition, Nanming also collected a large amount of taxes through trade, making Yuegang the most prosperous port in the country.

Song Xing, who walked off the sailboat with a long sword on his back, was hidden in the turbulent flow of people and did not attract much attention. The prosperity of Yuegang has created a huge flow of people every day, and there will not be too strict inspections on traffic.

After paying the city entrance tax, it was very easy to enter the city.

Entering the city, Song Xing found that it was even more lively and prosperous than the wharf. Han Chinese, Fusang people, and Japanese people wearing various ethnic costumes were shuttled among the crowd, either hawking or purchasing, but they were all in a hurry, and there were hundreds of people.

state.

According to the records submitted by the Lord Green Snake, Song Xing followed the Min River all the way down and came to this small city that was born attached to Yuegang.

After a hundred years of vicissitudes, things have changed and people have changed. Song Xing made many inquiries in the city, but there was still no news about Xiuyu Valley, which made him wonder if he had come to the wrong place.

Song Xing simply took advantage of the darkness, climbed over the wall and entered the county government office, and found the county annals recording the local customs and customs in the county government office, and finally got new clues.

"In the thirty-sixth year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty, this year coincided with the rise of the earth dragon. The land of the three states was exhausted, the water came out and the earth moved. Many houses and houses in the city walls collapsed, killing 2,792 people, and the official temples and houses in the city.

After Jie Dun, the county was changed, and the city was built."

Song Xing also dug out records on mountain geography in the county annals, and combined with the county annals records, finally located the site of the original county seat that was destroyed in an earthquake decades ago.

Based on the descriptions in the daily records, Song Xing searched within a radius of fifty miles, and finally found a valley that was consistent with the records in the records three days later.

The mountain roads are rugged and dangerous. If Song Xing were not a master of martial arts, and his physical body was a sacred elixir, and he deliberately searched for it, it would be difficult for ordinary people to find the valleys in these mountains and basins.

Entering the valley, there are dense trees and overgrown weeds. A waterfall flows straight down from the top of the mountain and runs through the entire valley, giving the entire valley a hint of coolness.

Song Xing strode forward. The terrain in the valley became more and more steep, and from time to time there would be one or two cliffs, which were daunting. However, Song Xing became more and more sure that he had found the right place.

Putting strength under his feet, Song Xing walked briskly, as if walking on flat ground, easily climbing over dangerous places, and finally stopped in a gap in a cliff. After carefully looking at it for a while, he got in without hesitation.

After advancing for almost a hundred meters, my eyes suddenly lit up and I suddenly came to another valley.

This is the real Xiuyu Valley, the hidden valley within the valley, and the real location of Yihua Palace.

The climate in the valley is pleasant and spring-like all year round. Mountains, rivers and lakes are dotted here and there. There are many buildings around the lakes. You can imagine the scene where the people of Yihua Palace practiced martial arts and swords here.

But now, there is only a dilapidated ruins left here. Yihua Palace is still there, but the former disciples of Yihua Palace are nowhere to be seen.

What he saw in front of him made Song Xing a little strange. He thought that Yihua Palace had been living in seclusion here for hundreds of years and had never traveled around the world. Who expected that what he saw when he came here was such a dilapidated scene.

It had not been taken care of for many years, and the ruins of collapsed houses were covered with vines. Song Xing walked among them. Not to mention people, not even a snake, insect, rat, or ant was seen. It seemed that there was some kind of terrifying existence ahead. Even after a hundred years,

Still shocking this valley.

The further he walked in, Song Xing began to feel a chill, not the coldness of a late autumn night, but a chill that penetrated into the bone marrow, as if he were in the ice.

It's still a hot summer day outside, but you can feel the sharp drop in temperature with every step you take in front of Yihua Palace.

Song Xing took a step forward, and the sound of flowing silver and mercury could be heard from within his body. As his energy and blood boiled, huge heat was generated to counteract the cold that was trying to invade his bone marrow.

After advancing another hundred meters, Song Xing finally saw the gatekeeper of Yihua Palace.

To be precise, they are ice corpses frozen in layers of ice.

Dozens of young-looking young girls in gorgeous clothes, with frightened expressions on their faces, faced Song Xing, as if they wanted to escape from the cage behind them, but they were too late, and were directly frozen to death by the terrifying cold current.

The chill is so deep that even after a hundred years, these ice corpses are still lifelike, retaining the desire and struggle for life in the last moment of their lives.

Such a strange way of death made Song Xing instantly alert, and he did not see any movement. The Sword of Eternal Life had appeared in his right hand, and the elixir in his body was circulating. Along with a special breathing rhythm, the power in the 'Golden elixir' was released.

Slowly release it to the limbs of the body.

After reaching Dan Jin, his control over his body and strength has reached the level of the rumored Jin Chan's induction. If any part of his body is hurt, he can sense it immediately and fight back accordingly.

In his senses, there is a cold air in the air that can kill ordinary people. It always wants to get into his body. If it enters his body, even with Song Xing's control over the physical body, he will be hurt to varying degrees.

.

And this is still the outermost cold air.

Song Xing's face became more solemn, and he moved his energy and blood vigorously so that he was like a burning Buddha in his consciousness. He forced all the cold air out of his body, stepped over the ice corpse, and walked towards the source of the cold air.

All the cold current originated from a huge red building in the towering building in front of Song Xing.

It is antique, with a ruby ​​roof, mahogany walls, a double-eaves roof with glazed tiles, carved dragons and phoenixes, and a red lacquer door that reveals a certain degree of solemnity. On the grand platform, there is a plaque in the shape of a lonely moon and a star in the center, and the sky above is purple clouds.

Pattern, the flame pattern at the bottom, and the three inscriptions of Yihua Palace in the middle.

A thick cold air came out from behind the door, because this huge red building was completely frozen by a huge block of ice.

The huge red building with a radius of 100 feet, and the scene inside was frozen, shocked Song Xing.
