Xiaoxing spent the night and finally arrived at the so-called outside of Lingxiao City.
Pang Shishi looked at the hill in front of him and said nothing for a long time.
This small hill must be more than a hundred feet high, right? It can't be higher? Lingxiao, what an imposing name, can't there be a higher mountain nearby?
Pang Shiwu was so disappointed!
A winding path paved with granite stones extends to the top of the mountain. The mountain is covered with green pines, and the green pine needles are full of spring. If it weren't for the snow on the trees, everyone would really not be able to tell what time it is now.
There are no fortifications around!
"Brother, are we in the right place?" Pang Shiwu looked at the place surrounded by mountains and deserted, and he really couldn't connect this place with the legendary Lingxiao City, which was mysterious and unpredictable and had huge trees and deep roots.
Although Feng Jiuxiao was a little skeptical, he believed that Xiong Wu would not deceive him.
"Xiong Wu, there isn't even a sign here. What if a woodcutter accidentally enters the forbidden area?" Feng Jiuxiao asked.
Xiong Wu knew that Feng Jiuxiao was saying that there wasn't even a sign here. Who knew if this was Lingxiao City? He said sternly: "Young master, I don't know. We came in through a secret passage. If there are two entrances and exits from the outside, it would be useless."
On the other side of the mountain, there is a stone tablet at the intersection. The blood-red characters on the tablet are very eye-catching, and there are checkpoints. Ordinary people cannot enter at all. If someone accidentally enters, they can only consider themselves unlucky!" The implication is natural!
It's a one-shot kill!
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Yan Lingxiao didn't take any defensive measures here, so he is so confident?" Feng Jiuxiao didn't believe that he didn't have a single enemy, nor did he believe that there wasn't a single hero in the entire Liaodong Wulin who dared to challenge his authority!
Xiong Wu chuckled, "Young master, you really can't believe it. Lingxiao City's position in the martial arts world of Liaodong is truly untouchable! It turns out there is, but they are almost dead if they can't even get in here! The Yan family spreads a spy network around the surrounding areas, such as
The cities of Huadian, Panshi and Jiaohe form an iron-armed encirclement, so if there is any disturbance within a hundred miles, they will be strangled in the cradle!"
Feng Jiuxiao nodded, "Well, it's a good way to nip problems in the bud. Then Lingxiao City is on the top of this mountain?"
Xiong Wudao: "Not on the mountain, but behind the mountain."
Feng Jiuxiao asked: "What's the situation with the defense on the top of the mountain?"
Xiong Wudao: "I don't know this very well, but I suggest you prepare for the worst!"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Are you ready to die here?"
Xiong Wu was startled for a moment, and then realized the flaw in his words, and said quickly: "Young master, that's not what I meant! I meant to be prepared for them to ambush thousands of troops!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Haha, I know. Who has the best martial arts in Lingxiao City?"
Xiong Wudao: "Currently, Young Master Yan has the highest martial arts, and the others are all masters of the Nine Realms, but I always feel that there is an invisible master hiding in the dark."
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "Invisible master? I'm not surprised at all. It's normal for weird things to happen in this magical land of Liaodong."
First he met Murong Chi, who had five times the combat power of the Glazed Realm, and then met his master Dugu Ying, who was also at the Five Times Glazed Realm, and then met Shangguan Yidao, the eunuch in charge of Daliao, who was actually at the fifth Glazed Realm.
So if another five-fold Glazed Realm master suddenly appeared in Lingxiao City, Feng Jiuxiao would not be surprised at all!
But Feng Jiuxiao was a little strange, why did all the martial arts in the world concentrate in Liaodong?
He thought for a while, and later he could only attribute the reason to the eight words "Hua Luo Dong, a natural treasure, a land of outstanding people"!
This place is rich in ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, bear bile, tiger bones, and deer blood. They are "everywhere". These natural and earthly treasures that the Central Plains people may not necessarily be able to obtain at high prices, but for the Khitan people, they may be able to come across them just by walking through the mountains and forests.
Go! This is the only way to explain it, otherwise the Khitan people are all born martial arts wizards!
Xiong Wu saw that Feng Jiuxiao had deep eyes and seemed to be thinking about something, so he didn't dare to disturb her.
Pang Shishi said: "Mr. Xiong Wu, is the top of this mountain big? Is Lingxiao City a city?"
Xiong Wudao: "The top of the mountain can actually only be regarded as the entrance to Lingxiao City. There is Lingxiao Temple on the top of the mountain. After passing Lingxiao Temple, you will reach the other side of the mountain. It is a basin surrounded by mountains."
Pang Shiwu asked: "Is the basin large in area?"
Xiong Wudao: "Big, much bigger than a town, with a town in the middle and farmland around it. To put it bluntly, if this place hadn't been taken over by the ancestors of the Yan family through various means, this place would have been the Huadian town of Khitan.
"
"Isn't there Huadian City? Why is there Huadian Town?"
"Huadian Town was originally under the jurisdiction of Huadian City. It was originally the residence of the governor of Huadian City, but now the governor can only be stationed in Hongshi Town!"
"Holy shit, the dove is occupying the magpie's nest. Where does this place belong to?"
"In the Tang Dynasty, this place belonged to Bohai County. In the first year of Kaiyuan of Tang Dynasty, Sumo leader Da Zuorong was canonized by Tang Dynasty as General Zuo Xiaowei, governor of Huhan Prefecture, and king of Bohai County. Later generations called it Bohai, and Bohai Kingdom was
From this, his descendants, the 11th generation Darenxiu and the 12th generation Yi Zun, completed the establishment of more than 100 counties in the 5 capitals, 15 prefectures, 62 prefectures, and became a prosperous country in Liaodong. Huadian is Huidian.
In the alluvial basin of the Fahe River, the Bohai State established Changling Prefecture, Lingxia and Hezhou, and built the ancient city of Sumi. Therefore, Huadian was originally regarded as the Changling Prefecture of the Bohai Dynasty."
"Oh, this place is quite sophisticated. I think there are a lot of antique treasures."
"Master Pang is interested in antiques?"
"Haha, arty, just ask, I don't understand."
Pang Shiwu really said it casually, but Xiong Wu really remembered it in his heart, and he would dig and rob Pang Shiwu's grave in the future!
Feng Jiuxiao looked at the only stone step on the hillside and turned to Xiong Wu: "Let's go!"
Xiong Wu responded: "Yes!" He jumped on his horse and jumped out of the crowd, leading the way.
There was not much snow on the stone steps, and the horses' hooves were not very slippery when they stepped on them, so we soon reached the top of the mountain. There was a piece of flat land on the top of the mountain, and there was a towering temple on the flat land. On the main door of the main hall was written "Lingxiao Temple"
", there is actually a tower next to it, the tower is thirty feet high!
Feng Jiuxiao stood in front of the hall and looked at the hall.
A temple consists of a main hall and a solitary pagoda next to it.
Xiong Wudao: "Sir, the stone roads on both sides of this hall lead to the back mountain, and behind it is the road down the mountain."
Feng Jiuxiao walked forward a few feet and came to the left side of the main hall. She had already seen the large flat land in the back mountain, the so-called alluvial basin. It was surrounded by mountains, and it really looked like a basin. The surrounding mountains were all hills, continuous.
Nothing fancy, just the same.
Feng Jiuxiao suddenly looked towards the main hall, as if she wanted to see what was going on inside through the wall.
Xiong Wudao: "Master, why don't you go into the palace and have a look?"
Feng Jiuxiao asked: "What gods are enshrined in the temple?"
Xiong Wudao: "The true god of shaman."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "The true god of Samana?"
Xiong Wudao: "The true god of shaman, the shaman of bodhisattva, I am so satisfied!"
Feng Jiuxiao asked: "What is a shaman?"
Xiong Wudao: "Shaman comes from Jurchen and other Tungus languages. It probably means wise man, Xiaoche. Later, the Oroqen, Ewenki, Hezhe and Daur tribes called wizards shaman. So Jurchen also called wizards shaman.
.”
Feng Jiuxiao's eyes flashed: "You mean the people worshiped here are wizards?"
Xiong Wudao: "I don't think it's necessarily a wizard. It's very likely that he is the ancestor of this generation of shamans. They have the custom of worshiping their ancestors."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Yan Lingxiao is a Han Chinese, why does he believe in shamanism?"
Xiong Wudao: "Actually, Mr. Yan doesn't believe in this. I don't know why he built a Buddhist temple, but he also enshrined a shaman true god statue in the Buddhist temple."
Miss Yan sneered: "Of course you don't understand this!"
Feng Jiuxiao said disapprovingly: "You understand?"
Miss Yan suddenly calmed down, "You want to know? I don't want to tell you!"
