Crown Sword

Even in the four counties of Liaodong and Nanwulin thousands of miles away, the mysterious mountain gate on the snow mountain is still popular.

Unlike the sects of the Central Plains, Kunlun Tiancheng, one of the "Three Stars", is governed by gods. People in the Jianghu regard it as a holy place for martial arts, but the 36 countries in the Western Regions respect it as a temple, and most of the disciples are believers from various countries.From the blue bird road outside the mountain, across the abyss of weak water and the mountain of flames, enter the heart of Kunlun, cross the nine gates and nine wells, board the Tianfengbitai with Kunlun jade gallbladder, and fly over the extreme sky road, which is the legendary road. The twelfth floor of the five cities.

When the sect was established, the five cities and five masters ruled together. They were either saintesses or missionaries. Most of them came from the royal family of the Western Regions, but because they devoted themselves to worship, they were outside the royal power, maintaining a delicate balance.Until the birth of Goddess Ubuya, with her incomparable appeal and the method of checks and balances, the inscriptions of 36 countries were sworn in and engraved on the nine gates and nine wells, trying to preserve the eternal peace of the Western Regions.

However, people's wishes were not fulfilled, the fantasy was too lonely, the goddess disappeared, and the Great Pope Yuan Boxi was autocratic, trying to control the countries and unify the Western Regions, but was finally defeated by the son of the goddess Ubuya.

At the right time, Lu Guang, the king of Sanhe, who was born in Lueyang's Lu family, was ordered by Fu Jian to conquer Kucha, and because of Qin's defeat in Feishui, the country was destroyed and the king was destroyed, he refused to return to the east, and wiped out 36 countries in one go.At this point, the small country is gone, the big country is attached, Tiancheng is completely stripped from the royal power, and reduced to a martial arts sect with no god's wishes.

I don't know if people who serve the gods have practiced asceticism and happiness. Listening to Duo Lian's mouth, it doesn't seem to be asking for advice, but it seems to be questioning.Scratching his ears and cheeks, the little boy stammered for a while: "Yes, no...not, no, yes."

The young woman who knocked on the door was a bit aggressive, staring at the boy: "Is he there?"

Duo Lian stopped her subordinates with her eyes, put her hands on the boy's shoulders, and gently pushed in: "Don't be afraid, I have no malicious intentions, take me to see the Veterinarian." After she finished speaking, she stepped over the threshold and drove straight in.

At this time, Qiao Min and Chao Chen just followed and met her in front of the door.Duo Lian looked at the two faces from the Central Plains, and thought for a while: "So there are guests from afar."

Although Xiao Tong is timid and submits to coercion, he has good eyesight. He is afraid that the three of them will conflict, so he immediately grabs Duo Lian's hand and walks in, but Duo Lian does not move at all. After a while, until Du Mengjin, who was basking in the sun, drove to the wisteria flower stand, he was surprised by the big battle in front of the door.

"Who is that?" Du Mengjin pointed to the boy and called, but forgot his name.

Seeing that the savior was coming, the little boy hurriedly hid there, with a mournful face: "Master Zhai, the little one's name is Shuhuan, and you named it after me."

Du Mengjin obediently listened, but looked at the visitor, Shuhuan hurriedly explained: "She said she..."

"The people of Tiancheng."

Everyone looked at Du Mengjin in surprise.The old man narrowed his eyes with a smile and didn't say another word.

Duo Lian reported herself to her family, and carefully held out a Baolian giant clam: "Using the letter from the previous city lord, I implore Luangzhai to find someone for me on the Dunhuang sandbar."

Du Mengjin said, "Who?"

"Princess Shule, Tiancheng's new saint."

The old man stopped laughing, but solemnly took Baolian Tridacna, and urged Shuhuan to take a red paper to write down the important things, fearing that he would forget them in a day.Afterwards, Duo Lian left behind a sheepskin picture scroll and led the people away.

Qiao Min and Chao Chen didn't understand why, so they couldn't get in a word the whole time, they could only stare blankly.

Walking to the gate of the courtyard, Duo Lian suddenly stopped, looked around, and finally stared in the direction of the rockery.The woman in white who had just knocked on the door rushed forward and drew her knife first: "Who?"

Gong Yangyue came out, leaning his back against the stone wall, came across a sweet apricot from nowhere, took a bite, and didn't lift his head.

Duo Lian waved her hand and stepped forward, her eyes fell on Gong Yangyue's right hand: "Young man, where is your weapon?"

After this question, everyone looked at him, only to realize that he was alone, not to mention the broken sword "Fengliu Boneless", even the "Yucheng Xueling" that was still in his hand just now has disappeared.Gongyangyue said casually: "The sword is broken. What's more, Guanjian seems a bit arrogant and disrespectful when the distinguished guests from Tiancheng come to visit."

Will the ram month be afraid of being rude?

Chao Chen just felt that it was too funny for him to say these words.

Duo Lian took a deep look at Gongyangyue, said nothing more, turned and left.After the Tiancheng people left, Gongyangyue threw away the residual apricot, and took out the hidden sword from the grotto.

Qiao Min was puzzled and asked, "This Duo Lian is also a saint from Tiancheng?"

"No," Gong Yangyue flashed a hint of impatience in his eyes, but he opened his mouth anyway, "Although Tiancheng is not as dignified as it used to be, it doesn't mean that ordinary people can sit on the seat of city lord. , not to mention the Western Regions, which value the dignity of blood, unless they can bear the legend of the oracle like the goddess Ubuya, it will be difficult to convince the public. Although this Duo Lian is not a saint, when it comes to status, compared with the court, No less than the corner of the regent."

Gong Yangyue sighed softly: "She has served three generations of city lords, including the goddess Ubuya."

Hearing this, several people couldn't help but fell silent. Such a weighty person came to the Lutangzhai to find someone in person, which shows the importance of that saint.Judging from the appearance of the picture scroll, it should not be very old.

Thinking of the child who disappeared recently, Chao Chen couldn't help feeling chills.

Seeing that he was hesitating to speak, Gong Yangyue asked, "What do you want to ask?"

Being told about his thoughts, Chao Chen couldn't hold back his face. He dawdled for a long time before saying, "Such an important person does not go to the government, but relies on another power in the rivers and lakes? As far as I know, although King Daliang occupies Hexi, the cavalry has not Going beyond Kunlun, I don’t believe that they have never reached a covenant. For a hundred years, all the tribes in the Western Regions have refused to obey each other. Lu Guang may need to use Tiancheng to stabilize the people’s hearts. Trying to win the hearts of the people with theocracy and completely control the Western Regions, just like the Buddhist kingdoms in the Western Regions."

Gong Yangyue's thoughts changed a few times, and before he finished his long speech, he walked forward again.

"Why?" Chao Chen stretched out his arms to stop her, "She can definitely negotiate terms with Lu Guang!"

"Why do you ask so many questions?" Gong Yangyue smiled slightly, "Why should I tell you?"

"This……"

Sweat oozes from the palms of Chao Chen——

He wasn't interested in the Western Regions, or even a martial arts sect, but Gong Yangyue's reaction was very strange, his sword never left his body, nor his hand.Shuang Li was so close to him, and he also said that he was not even allowed to touch the sword, and he was even more enraged by folding the sword by himself. It is such a arrogant and rebellious person, that someone can make him consciously untie the sword!

Not normal!

What's more, if it was usual, he must have listened to what he said, and then sarcasm, or continue to raise an argument.But now, he didn't want to hear anything, which could only show that the Ram was uneasy.

The more disturbed Chao Chen was, the more he wanted to get to the bottom of it. Even if he couldn't take the opportunity to get a handle, at least he could get rid of Gong Yangyue once.

"Taking a step back, it's hard to cooperate with each other, but to use each other. After all, Tiancheng was rooted in the royal family of the Western Regions. How could it not hate the Great Liang iron cavalry? For Lu Guang, it is not afraid of them. She refused to let the Lu family come forward. Finding the black market means that the little saint must have some secrets, which she dare not let Lu Guang know." Chao Chen took a deep breath and made excuses, "Don't you think, saintesses should live in Tiancheng, Why did they disappear near the sandbar? If we could know the reason, wouldn't we be able to find the person faster?"

As he said that, he waved his finger and pointed to the back: "Otherwise, are you counting on him, or on Miss Fanxi?"

Looking along Chao Chen's fingertips, Du Mengjin was dozing off with his chin resting on his left hand, the red post-it note was blown from his cuff and landed at Gongyangyue's feet.

Suffering from a strange illness, the old man forgot, forgot, and repeated, as if he had never lost his mind.

"Is it really because of this?" Gong Yangyue put the long sword around Chao Chen's neck and asked word by word.

"Yes, it's true." Chao Chen braced himself, not daring to look directly at him, as if it was not a person but the sun, which could illuminate every little thought that dared not speak in the dark.The averted gaze lowered cautiously and stopped at Gongyangyue's arms. His clothes were always loosely dressed.

The pendant is as white as jade but not jade, with the corner of a lotus flower faintly showing.

At this time, Fanxi led someone in, Qiao Min avoided, and the little door boy Shuhuan followed her, telling what had happened just now.

"Holy Maiden?"

Fanxi ignored Gongyangyue and Gongyangyue, and half-kneeled in front of Du Mengjin, calling softly.Du Mengjin opened his eyes, his jaw slipped in a moment of sobriety, and his four fingers clenched in a fist were released, revealing the Baolian giant clam.

It's exactly the same!

In Gongyangyue's arms is the sword tassel of "Yucheng Xueling", which is exactly the same as the token of the former city lord held by Duo Lian.When he was lying in ambush just now, he not only untied the sword, but also took off the tassel of the sword.

why?

Chao Chen panicked, wandering back and forth between the two places out of the corner of his eye, he had never heard of Gongyangyue and Tiancheng's intersection, and even Shuangli said that this was their second time out of the fortress.There seems to be countless secrets in Gongyangyue.

At this moment, Gongyangyue didn't get entangled too much, she hastily put away the sword, but she didn't know if she was eager to know the truth, Chao Chen looked forward on tiptoe, her toe was unsteady, and bumped her forehead into Gongyangyue's heart.

Chao Chen thought to himself: He can't find out at this time, he already knows Jiansui's secret.

"Be careful!" He gritted his teeth, put his hands under his ribs, hugged the ram Yuexu in a circle, then turned his back and fell to the ground.Hearing the sound, Qiao Min flew up to the tile beams, and even Fanxi looked around, only Gongyangyue's eyes never left Chao Chen's face.

Chao Chen straightened his coat and hat, and said solemnly: "It's because I was playing tricks, thinking that they left and came back."

Gongyangyue pursed her lips and smiled, pointing to the accompanying buildings on both sides of the studio, indicating that Fanxi had returned, and the archer who never left her body should also return, and the movement of the black market could not escape Ying Wuxin's eyes.

Before Chao Chen could explain, Gongyangyue laughed loudly: "What kind of way is this throwing yourself into a hug? You lost the enemy head-on, and now you are using beauty tricks instead?"

Chao Chen blushed, "I'm hard of hearing! Can't I?" After finishing speaking, as if she really couldn't bear the insult, she sprinted away from the front yard with her sleeves, and when no one came from behind, she held on to the pillar and let out a long sigh of relief.

But no matter how he explained it, he still felt like a stick in his throat. He never lied in the past, but now he is so proficient.If it weren't for Gongyangyue, how could he have fallen to this point in his life? Thinking of this, he felt annoyed, and he punched his fist to vent his anger——

"Hmph, cheating on Ramyue is not cheating."

Gongyangyue sneezed, rubbed his nose, and looked at Fanxi.

Fanxi sent a firm gaze and nodded solemnly: "I found out, they are pretending to be silk merchants."

"silk?"

"To get out of the Western Regions, you have to buy supplies. Normal businessmen seldom go through the black market, which is too eye-catching, and if they don't go through the black market, they are often easily traced, so I bet they are borrowing the hands of others. This is It's easy to handle, because most of the real traveling merchants have familiar paths, and they are eliminated one by one, and the rest are new customers. The first time a new customer encounters, he must find a Dunhuang native to lead the way. These brokers are greedy, and their tone has never been very strict. Spend some money and just ask."

Gong Yangyue nodded, thinking it made sense, maybe the group of child abductors were not afraid of revealing their whereabouts at all, or they didn't have time to deal with them in a hurry, after all, brokers are also cunning rabbits.

"But even if they knew, they might not follow the route reported in the customs clearance document." Qiao Min interjected.

Fanxi pondered for a moment, then replied, "They should take the northern route."

Gongyangyue asked: "How can I see it?"

"Water," Fanshun picked up the teacup on the table, and signaled to everyone, "The southern route needs to pass through the Loulan Kongque River, not far from Dunhuang. Since there is a transfer, there is no need to carry so much water on this journey, which will delay the journey. , indicating that where they are going, it is difficult to find water sources for a long distance. Although the northern line is long, it is not always dry. When Korla enters the foothills of the Tianshan Mountains, there will be river sources. Therefore, most of them will divert from the west to the north on the way. "

"To the north, don't you want to go over the mountain?" Gong Yangyue's eyes lit up, they drove lightly, and there was a great chance of catching up.So, I subconsciously asked, "What is behind the mountain?"

Fanxi's hands trembled, and the cup shattered.

She squatted down to pick it up, but kept silent, but Gongyangyue always paid attention to people, so she asked again calmly.Ying Wuxin, who was supposed to be in the accompanying building, stood behind them at some unknown time, and said coldly, "It's the vast sea."

"Should be careless!"

Ying Wuxin held the corner of the bamboo hat, and slowly lifted it up: "There are three scenes in the Western Regions: Shenyue weeping, dying with rosemary, and the vast sea with the heart of heaven. It is said that the vast sea is a place to hold souls, and there are people who can go there, but those who can't return."
