The night wind is like a blade, cutting people's faces with pain. The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the man in black clothes in a cloak floated to a small dilapidated temple without moving. He paused for a moment to make sure that no one was following him, and then walked into the temple in a cool manner. In the darkness, you can vaguely see a seated statue of Tathagata directly in front of you. The altar is in a mess, and there is nothing but dust in the incense burner. The man in black walked to the altar, held the incense burner with both hands, and turned it three times to the left and right. With a "quacking" sound, the seated statue of Tathagata automatically moved backwards, and a row of downward steps appeared below the seated statue. The man in black stepped onto the steps, and the long corridor revealed a pale yellow light. Every ten steps on the walls on both sides, there was a fist-sized luminous pearl inlaid on each side. At the end, there was a stone door blocking his eyes. The stone gate is divided into nine palaces by six lines, three horizontal and three vertical.

After the incident of "The Divine Thief Shen Yiwei hiding in Linyin Inn" was settled, Bai Muyi and the other five left Chengdu Mansion the next day and traveled all the way. When I arrived in Qingcheng County that day, I visited Dujiangyan. Bai Muyi talked about the history of Dujiangyan with great interest. Su Ru and Yue Qiuxu couldn't help but nodded, but they heard Shang Xueqi exclaim - "Magic lamps will appear in Qingcheng Mountain at night! Old man, are you telling the truth?" "I just saw it three days ago, around the time of Unitary Time. I was walking through the mountain road carrying firewood, and suddenly countless light spots lit up in the forest, as if lamps were floating around. Not long after, the surrounding area was illuminated by these magic lamps for miles, making it like daytime."

The floating corpses in the Dongting were sparkling in the water, and at the foot of the green hills, a passenger ship passed leisurely. Several birds spread their wings across the sky, the blue and clear sky seems to be connected with the lake water, and the beauty of Dongting Lake is unobstructed. "Ragged clothes, do you think this idiot Xie Youhan has got a wife?" The girl in red stood on the bow of the boat, with her hands on her hips, looking fierce. "That stinky drunkard is really good for nothing except the spicy chicken feet. This time, I might drag you drinking for three days and three nights and turn you into an drunkard too!" Although her tone was fierce, she was so beautiful that she only made people feel playful and cute. Beside her, the man in white smiled slightly: "Being drunk in Qingmengju is a dream for many people."

On September 15th, the five members of the Snow-clothed Sect successfully arrived at the Yuhua Palace located at Baiyun Peak in Kunlun Mountain. In front of Yuhua Palace, there were more than 300 white steps. Even though she was good at Qinggong, Shang Xueqixiang was so tired that she was dripping with sweat. She wiped her sweat and looked up to see the pavilions and pavilions shrouded in clouds and mist. She couldn't help but be stunned. "The jade flowers in the northern territory are as ethereal as immortals, and the butterfly flowers in the southern territory are as quiet as dreams." Bai Muyi still had a long breath and a chic expression. He closed the folding fan and pointed at the towering Yuhua Palace in front of him: "The Yuhua Palace and the Butterfly Flower Sect have always been the holy places that people in the martial arts dream of. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I know that the poem written by the young man is true. The Yuhua Palace is built against the mountain, and it is so ingenious that it is amazing."

In the dark and dry basement of Jianwen, a corpse was placed on the morgue. This is a male corpse, still wearing the purple official robe he wore when he died. Most of his body looks intact, except for the fact that his face is covered with a mask, which looks particularly weird. There were four people surrounding the morgue. Among them were Chu Fengyi, the leader of the Wind and Rain League, Liu Moqing, the deputy leader, Xiao Qing, the leader of Qinglong Tan of the Wind and Rain League, and Liu Zhongyong, the magistrate of Baili County in Youzhou. Seven days ago, the Fengyu League in Chang'an received an urgent report from the county magistrate of Baili County, saying that Zhu Xiangui, the Minister of Household Affairs, was suddenly assassinated in Baili County, and the death was strange. It was hoped that the Fengyu League could send someone to check what happened. When Chu Fengyi received the emergency report, her expression changed on the spot.

Since the mystery of Su Qingyuan's death was solved last time, the Xueyi Holy Sect became famous in the world, so people from all walks of life came to visit Ziyun Lane in Luoyang City, and ordered that they must meet the sect leader Bai Muyi. At first, the sect leader Bai Muyi was quite proud, and he took the trouble to explain the whole process of his reasoning that day to the visitors. Living like this for three or four days is really enjoyable. However, the world is so vast, and the visitors from Sanchuan and Wuyue soon made Master Bai almost collapse. The mighty Ruosuru Grand Manager was finally defeated by these tenacious visitors. If not for Shang Xueqi's cleverness, and Yue Qiuxu's alliance with Yue Qiuxu, they turned everyone into pockmarked faces, and released the news that smallpox was rampant in the Snow-clothed Sect and infected everyone they met, thus curbing the crazy visitors a little.

At noon on the sixth day of November, Bai Muyi and Shang Xueqi led their horses into Quanzhou City. The two of them left Luoyang and traveled south. Bai Muyi talked about how delicious the Shishi red crabs in Quanzhou were, which made Xue Qi's index finger twitch, so he hurried on and arrived at noon. It seems that you can smell the salty sea breeze in the streets of the city. The two found an inn and dropped off their horses. Shang Xueqi dragged Bai Muyi to accompany her around Quanzhou City. Quanzhou City is a famous port. There are countless cargo ships coming and going every day. The city is rich in goods. In addition to seafood, there are also many rare things shipped from various places. Corals, amber, agate, ivory, red ostrich feathers, etc. Are everywhere. Xue Qi is dazzled by the sight.
