..............................

Sizhou country, northern Xinjiang.

Here, there is an endless grassland. Although it was the end of March, it was still full of desolation and desolation.

The cold wind blows, and the weeds undulate.

The wild geese fly south, and people go north.

Thousands of miles away, in the depths of the grassland, a cyan stone mountain rises abruptly. From afar, it looked like a huge stone stake, alone in the wilderness.

Getting closer, the scene is clear.

The stone mountain, which looks quite strange, has a radius of dozens of miles, and the surrounding area is like a knife, and the cliffs are hundreds of feet. On the mountain, it is covered with grass and trees, and the houses are scattered, like the strangeness of a hanging market, and it has the majesty of building a city against the mountain. And next to the stone steps of the mountain wall, there is really a stone tablet erected, engraved with two words: stone city.

The stone steps several feet wide go up the wall, circle left and right a few times, reach a hundred zhang, and there is a portal tower towering.

I saw that between the steep mountain walls, a stone gate with a width of more than one zhang and a height of two zhang was chiseled out like a heavenly workmanship, and there was a watchtower standing on it and was quite imposing.

It was noon, and the city gate was sparsely populated.

A man in Tsing Yi slowly walked up the steps and looked back. But seeing the vast wilderness, the empty heaven and earth, and the strong wind blowing in the face, people can't help but feel refreshed. He grinned and looked up instead.

Above the city gate, there are two mottled and quaint big characters, green mountains.

This stone city, just because it is located on the green mountain, also has another name, Qingcheng. Since I stepped into the territory of Sizhou, I have made many inquiries and spent a lot of time, and finally learned about such a place. As for what exactly is, it is yet to be revealed.

"Stop—"

"Why are you holding me back?"

A man in a long shirt and a strong man in a leather robe stood in front of the door. One is holding his sleeves and nose to the sky, and the other is holding a steel knife in his hand.

The man in Tsing Yi was a little surprised and took a step back.

"When outsiders enter the city, they must inspect and make a book, and then pay gold and silver according to the length of their stay. ”

"Follow the local customs, but also make it!"

"Who is the surname, where does it come from, what kind of business do you operate, what do you want, and how short is the stay of three or five days, or ten days and a half months?"

"Hey, it's so detailed!"

"Less wordy!"

"Well, my grandson...... Sir, from a distant country, took a few schoolchildren to eat, and heard that Stone Town is quite extraordinary, so he came all the way to bump into the chance!"

"It turned out to be a gentleman who taught, and his name was reported in the newspaper. ”

"Well, Mr. Gongsun's yes!"

"Ask your name......"

"This ...... My Dao name is Mr. Gongsun!"

"You're a monk?"

"This ...... Entering the Tao with literature, he has been studying since childhood, and the classic historical books are slightly familiar with one or two ......"

"Hmph! Such a monk is really rare. Besides, please pay a gold ingot, or a spirit stone, and you can stay in the city for half a year. ”

"What if it's a gentleman who teaches?"

"One tael of silver, half a month for ......"

"I'm still a teacher!"

"Then report it, or get out of here!"

The strong man guarding the door was already annoyed, and pulled out the steel knife with a "bang". There were people who bargained in front of Stone Town and rapped non-stop, no matter how good his temper was, he couldn't stand it, and he was really angry.

The man in the long shirt was squinting and sneering. He only received and interrogated the monks, and did not pay any attention to this pedantic Mr. Gongsun.

Although the man in Tsing Yi was verbose and scholarly, his courage was not small, and he didn't put the angry strong man and the shining steel knife in his eyes at all, but turned over and took out a gold ingot and handed it over, pouting and saying: "It's just to enter the city, and you have to leave the money to buy the road!"

The man in the long shirt guarding the door took the gold ingot and threw it casually: "A gentleman who teaches is also so rich, could it be that the world has changed?"

The strong man had to put away the steel knife and dodge the way, but snorted again.

The man in Tsing Yi lifted the hem of his clothes, climbed the stairs, and said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. is a teacher, and he must not blaspheme." What's more, I discipline not only schoolchildren, but also immortals and two bad people......" He muttered and stepped into the city gate, facing the layers of stone steps. And the inside of the city gate is placed with a bookcase, and someone writes a book. The man in the long robe threw a jade plaque, waved his hand and said: "This is an entry and exit certificate, and you must not lose ......."

And tokens, what a rule!

The man in Tsing Yi took the jade plaque, bowed his hand, raised his feet and stepped on the stone steps, but turned back and asked, "I intend to visit the City Lord's Mansion, I wonder if the City Lord Yue Xuan is there?"

"What you are talking about is just the young city lord, the real city lord is Yue Xiangzi's senior!"

The man in the long shirt glared, flicked his sleeves and turned away.

"Oh, the family has a high hall, how dare the juniors call themselves old people. In that case, I am presumptuous!"

The man in Tsing Yi smiled apologetically, climbed the stairs, and didn't take a few steps, but he rolled his eyes and looked strange.

Hidden all the way, very cautious. I wanted to continue to endure it, but my reputation for being blameless seemed to be getting louder and louder. Now I can only be a monk, Mr. Gongsun!

Wu blame went down the stone steps for more than ten zhang, and the surroundings suddenly opened up.

He raised his eyes to look, curious, but also unbearable, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Qi Sanren, Qi Lao Dao, for you, I ran from Youxiong to Western Zhou, and then from Lingxia Mountain to Ziding Mountain, and then traveled a long distance to find the northern frontier of Shizhou. In just one year, the journey was nearly 100,000 miles. It's just a matter of hard work. Fooled, let's not mention it for the time being. I just want to find you, I just want an explanation. And if this time fails again, the friendship between you and me will also end. You must know that it is really not easy for me, I can't bear it anymore!

However, inquiring all the way and looking for it all the way, it gradually confirmed the previous speculation.

Qi Laodao pretended to use the mouth of Ziquan and Zizhen to leave four sentences: Fenghua, smoke and rain, willow Shiqing, riding out of the state city;

Those two guys were shrewd, but they didn't know the way of poetry. And I'm not to blame, although I don't learn anything, but my chest is a little inky. The artistic conception of the four sentences is simple and clear, describing the affection and righteousness of a brave general, well, it should be me, at first glance, I didn't care, I just thought it was an old trick. And when I think about it, I feel weird. First, there is Fenghua smoke and rain, which is talking about Fenghua Valley, and then why is it not "riding out of the capital", but "out of the state city"?

There are many ghost halls that pray for the old way, and there must be something strange in between!

Do you still remember his door master token, Lingshan gathers qi, the glow descends, the fairy fate is from the mortal, the main virtue Quartet, each takes the first word, it is the Lingxia Immortal Lord. And these four sentences he deliberately left behind, will they be a Tibetan poem?

No, the last two words of each paragraph of the four sentences are connected, and they are: Shizhou Yue Xiang, Qingcheng reunion.

Tibetan poems?

If it is a Tibetan poem, it is to ask me to meet in the country of Sizhou, and the place names are Yue Xiang and Qingcheng.

And do Siju have these two place names?

No!

After repeated inquiries, I finally learned that in the northern Xinjiang of Shizhou, there is a mysterious stone city, also known as Qingcheng. In the city, there is a Xiuxian family headed by the Yue family, and many mortals, and it is a state of its own, far away from the world. The city lord's name is Yue Xuan, and it is rumored that he is an immortal with a strong cultivation, and so on.

It's worth playing!

And even if there are all kinds of conjectures, it is better to go to the scene to find out the truth.

And so, here we are. The one guarding the door was a monk, and he inadvertently revealed the road name of the old city lord of Stone City, Yue Xiangzi.

Hehe, Shizhou, Yuexiang, and Qingcheng have all been confirmed. In other words, the previous speculation should not be bad.

And I am already in the city, can I usher in a painstaking reunion?

The hateful Qi Lao Dao still doesn't give me a quick appearance......

Stone Town, worthy of its name, whether it is streets, houses, pavilions, courtyards, all made of bluestone, can be said to be full of stones. There may be gaps, but they are also full of trees, and there is no lack of exotic flowers, but see the withered yellow and verdant overlap, sparse and swaying, just like the city in the mountain, the mountain in the city, the mountain and the city are one, the city and the mountain are integrated, and with the gradual rise of the terrain and the distance is different, the height is different, there is a different scenery. In addition, the pedestrians are different, the costumes are different, and the words are obscure, which adds a bit of exoticism.

Standing for a long time, clearing his thoughts, and seeing enough of the street scene, he walked forward with his hands behind his back.

Quietly dispersed his divine consciousness and swept by, and the stone city of dozens of miles instantly came into view.

There is no city around it, but it is surrounded by cliffs as walls, houses as fortresses, natural barriers, and independent cities. A gentle bluestone street circles around the mountain, and most of the houses and shops on both sides are a little deserted. After a few large circles of the street, you will reach the top of the hill. More than 20 miles to the east, there is another mountain peak, there is a high-rise compound, the shape is like a castle, it seems to be shrouded by a prohibition, or it is the location of Yue's family.

In the whole mountain city, there are thousands of families living in it, but there is no bustle of an ordinary market town, but a kind of tranquility away from the hustle and bustle. Among them, I saw many monks, but there was still no trace of the old way......

Half an hour later, the man was on the top of the mountain.

The top of the hill covers an area of more than ten miles, most of which is reclaimed fields and trees, and continues to the east, and on the west side of the hillside, there are houses and shops. One of the two-story stone buildings hangs a plaque of the Castle Peak Inn.

Blameless stopped in front of the inn and looked around again. He had no interest in the empty scenery or the lofty clouds, and he had come to find someone. I searched up and down, but I still found nothing.

Could it be that all the speculation is just wishful thinking?

And after causing such a big disaster before, Gujian Mountain, Lingxia Mountain, and Ziding Mountain will not give up easily, and it is an expedient measure to hide in this remote stone city for a while.

Well, it's safe!

Blameless smacked his lips with a helpless look and turned around and walked towards the inn.

Castle Peak Inn is a two-story stone building, the window sash door is quite narrow, there is no luxury, it looks heavy and strong. Stepping into the low door, the eyes were dark, there was a shopkeeper in the counter raised his hand to greet him, and asked the origin of the customer, after seeing the jade plate, he nodded and smiled with a smile on his face and called the immortal.

Wuyi took out a few pieces of silver and threw them on the counter, asked for a guest room, and turned to look at the situation in the store, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

There were four or five tables in the hall, and seven or eight monk-like men and women sat around talking and laughing......
