244,【Jianxian Temple at the foot of Ant Mountain】

Because this merchant's words revealed a lot of news, Fang Chang was going there to check it out and confirm the recent situation of the monsters here. After all, the disappearing villages and towns may be the enemy who was causing trouble, and in his spiritual sense, he suddenly felt that this matter was related to him, so he naturally became more interested.

After eating the fruit in two bites, the three soldiers in front of him threw the fruit core into the bonfire, patted their hands and pointed to the official road above, and said to everyone in front of him: "That town is called Liangchi Town, which is not far ahead along the official road, but not on the official road. After crossing the bridge, you have to go west to the official road and walk towards the Ant Mountain, and you can only find it near the foot of the mountain."

The travelers present, except Fang Chang and Sang Ziping, laughed: "We have work to do, so we don't have time to see such things, which are both troublesome and dry food."

However, Fang Chang and Sang Ziping looked at each other, bowed to the Shangshang slightly, expressing their gratitude.

Then there was nothing wrong all night.

There were no wild beasts, no bandits, and no monsters coming. In the valley below this slope, there were only the crackling sound of bonfires and the sound of wind that rolled over the thick land above. Occasionally, some people snore and grind their teeth, but these people rushing to the road were sleeping deeply.

Many fatigues of the bumpy road, as they sleep disappeared, when they woke up the next morning, people were all energetic, and here they washed a little with the water provided by the villagers, heated up some food, and filled the container with boiled water, and then set off on the road in groups of three or three.

Fang Chang and Sang Ziping did not walk with their companions yesterday. They did not have breakfast here. They climbed up the steep slope early in the morning and walked forward along the official road that stretched to the northwest. The Chaoyang happened to shine forward from behind, with a very low angle, and cast their long shadow on the road ahead.

The sound of the surging river water became clearer and clearer, and the stones at the bridge in front became closer and bigger.

After getting closer, the scene was even more spectacular. The water flowed down and was very turbid. At the two corners above and below the bridge deck, a shocking sound was stirring. However, the water surface under the bridge deck was stable enough, but the flow rate was not low, and there was no risk of silt.

Sang Ziping stopped in the middle of the bridge, held the railings with Fangchang, and looked at Jiang Liu who had turned a big bend in the distance and said:

"The terrain here is thick, but it is full of loess. The rivers flowing here often become turbid due to erosion of the river banks. Fortunately, this river is only a short section in Guanzhong, and there are several rivers behind it, so the downstream is still clear."

He told Fang Chang that the river at the bottom of the bridge at his feet turned in the distance and walked towards the southeast, then passed through a thin mountain range and turned east into the sea. Fang Chang knew that this was the river with many names that he had once sailed on it when he returned to Yunzhong Mountain from the elm tree.

He patted the railings and smiled at Sang Ziping, "This long bridge is as stable as a rock in the torrent, and I don't know how it was built at the beginning."

Several thick bridge piers extend into the river water, with a boat-shaped base below. This structure is really a super project for this era. I really don’t know how the people of the past built such a strong long bridge in the turbulent river water.

Sang Ziping shook his head and said, "This is hard to verify. I think there should be relevant legends nearby, but it must be a difference from the things that happened back then - you can search in the local chronicles."

Fang Chang did not react much to this, and he replied calmly: "I just asked casually, and there is no need to ask the bottom line. If you know it, you have good luck, and you don't have to be sad. This is actually like practicing. If you have a fate, you will naturally know. If you don't have a fate, you will not find any news even if you seek the whole world."

"Mr. Fang is right." Sang Ziping nodded and said.

Then they turned around together and continued to walk northwest, throwing the rolling river water behind them.

The two of them had their own tacit understanding and knew where to go behind. At a fork in the road, they got off the official road and followed the path westward, heading straight to the foot of the Ant Mountain.

In the world on both sides of the road, staple foods such as millet and wheat still account for the majority. According to the sowing time and land fertility, the seeds show different growth states. Some are still dark green, while others are already yellow and are swaying slightly with the morning breeze.

Fang Chang and Sang Ziping got up early enough, but at this time, there were still farmers who had already taken advantage of the morning light to finish their work in the fields and were carrying hoes to go home. In the villages nearby, some smoke was scattered.

Because they didn't know the road, they found a villager carrying a hoe, stopped him and asked politely: "How can I get to Liangchi Town?"

The other party was brown, and his face and collar were red, which was obviously doing physical labor all year round. When he heard them ask, he looked up and down. Fortunately, his temperament was enough to make people feel close, so a few traces of doubt in the farmer's eyes were wiped out, leaving behind a simple and enthusiastic side:

"Liangchi Town, are you visiting relatives or traveling? Recently, there are many people who have gone to Liangchi Town to see the Sword Immortal Temple. It's quite smooth to go from here. Fortunately, the two of them didn't go down the official road at the next intersection, otherwise the road would be unfamiliar and it would be easy to run along the small road to the mountains."

"After that road, I walked through at least three villages, and saw a small temple with blue bricks and green tiles. It was the two of them who were going to go to. The people in that town were all very lucky. After being besieged by monsters, they were lucky to be rescued by the immortals. If it were me, I would be willing to spend all my money to build a temple for the immortals - even if I were like an immortal, I could accept it by using a Shu accent."

The simple farmer's words confused Sang Ziping a little. He asked, "Why do you need to change the local accent?"

The farmer put down his hoe and leaned with his fingers crossed his hands. Haha: "The people in Liangqi Town only knew that they were rescued by the sword immortals, but they didn't even see the immortals' appearance, and even talked about their origins. Without any help, they could only guess that this place was close to Shu, and there was a sword immortal in Shu legend, so they gave the little temple this name."

After saying goodbye to the farmer, Fang Chang and Sang Ziping quickly found Liangqi Town.

The small temple outside the town is very grand. Of course, this is only a "small" compared to the buildings inside the town.

"temple.

After all, after the fire in the town, many people had not built their own thatched huts, so they could not let the people sleep in the wild. After all, temples were built for living people.

Although Liangchi Town is inconvenient for transportation, it is a prosperous place compared to the surrounding villages and towns. Therefore, in the accident, some people in the surrounding villages were killed. Fortunately, it has been a long time and there are no traces of white silk. However, due to time issues, the front of the small temple is still a little deserted.

When you turn to the main entrance and look up, you can see the plaque with the three words "Sword Immortal Temple" hanging on the main entrance. There is no font, but it is as horizontal and vertical as it is on the book, and it does not seem to be the hands of some low-level scholars.
