After crossing the Yangtze River and further to the south, it was the southern territory of the Jinxiu Dynasty.
As the so-called Jiangnan Jiangnan refers to the Yangtze River as the dividing line between north and south, it separates Jiangbei and Jiangnan.
On this day, Ling Zhen and her eighth sister Ling Xiaoxiao arrived in Xianghe Town, a town known as "Red Pink".
The original name of Chuzhi was "Hongyuan Town", the matchmaker was called the matchmaker, and the love between men and women was called Yuan. It was a very famous place for marriages in the ten miles and eight towns.
Many pairs of extremely loving couples met and fell in love with each other here, and made a firm vow to live together forever. Only when the sea dies and the stone dies can you look back!
But later, for some unknown reason, a large number of evil ghosts began to appear inexplicably in the town. Those evil and charming creatures that deserved to be killed were extremely difficult to catch. They did not harm women, but only picked strong men to kill.
Any man who is unlucky enough to be infected physically and mentally by it will inevitably have his yang energy exhausted and turn into a withered mummy and die in as little as three ounces or as long as a month. The state of death can be described as extremely cruel.
I don’t know how many pairs of loving lovers or married couples are no longer complete because of the appearance of those pink skeletons that squeeze out the vitality. Countless women have to be widowed at home, which is truly miserable!
Claiming to have Ting Yuelao as a matchmaker, he decided to bet on Hongyuan Town, a holy land for marriage. However, due to the rampage of those ghosts, the atmosphere of love no longer existed, and it was forced to be renamed "Hongpin Town".
The town was full of evil ghosts wandering around the streets, and everyone was too scared to go out.
After the government learned of the serious situation in Ci, they sent many excellent soldiers to massacre and kill them. They came one after another, but to no avail.
The local officials had no choice but to spend a lot of money to invite several Taoist priests who were not well-known and were rumored to be the best at subjugating demons and exterminating demons. They rushed to the town and asked them to use Taoist magic to kill evil spirits.
The result is still useless.
Those stinky old masters who took money but did nothing, after making a mess, left. After leaving, the dead people in the town remained the same, and every night, fresh young laborers died tragically at home!
Later, Ying Chun, the top swordsman with the title of "Sword Master", passed by Hongfen Town.
Because he was in a good mood, he casually drew his sword here.
The ordinary people in the town couldn't even see clearly how Ying Chun drew the sword, but when they saw a sudden flash of light, there was an incredible wave of shocking energy that swept through the entire Hongpin Town. Fierce, unheard of for thousands of years.
The sword comes out and Qi surges.
The sun and the moon are dimmed!
Then there came the sound of countless howling ghosts, echoing in the streets and alleys of the town, making people frightened. After hearing it, they were destined to have endless nightmares at night.
Rumor has it that at that time, the human sword master stood alone in the middle of the street, with an expressionless face, and just said: "A mere fox-like creature had to hand out two swords. No wonder he couldn't beat Yu Youcong."
In an instant, Ying Chun struck out with another sword.
The sword energy swept across the ground and scattered thousands of miles of clouds in the sky.
In such a huge pink town, after he drew his sword, there were no more sneaky, evil foxes or monsters left!
The two swords of the Sword Master have eliminated all evil.
He left the town without saying a word, brushed off his clothes, and left with his free and unrestrained demeanor, which was worthy of the word "saint" in his name.
After that, Hongfen Town returned to its former peace and tranquility. Men, women, old and young were no longer disturbed by any evil spirits in their daily lives. They were happy and happy, and every family was in harmony.
Not only for the reason of being on the way, but also because he admired the heroic deeds of the old sword master in the past, Ling Zhen deliberately chose to enter the town during the day to experience the unique scenery of Hongfen Town in person.
On the central street of the town, this was once an independent street for the Sword Master.
Ling Zhen and Ling Xiaoxiao sat down at a wine stall and ordered some inexpensive drinks and food. While waiting for food, Ling Zhen took out two slender wooden chopsticks from the bamboo tube on the table.
Holding a chopstick in one hand, he was waving it around on his seat in a pretentious manner, making random strokes.
In his mind, he imagined that he was the swordsman saint who was one of the top ten masters of the human race. He once killed all the evil spirits in the town with just two swords, and the world was purified.
When I hold out my sword, all ghosts will disperse.
All the evil spirits became frightened when they heard the news.
How elegant and unparalleled is this? !
Seeing her brother's weird look at this moment, the girl in white, Ling Xiaoxiao, tilted her head in confusion and asked, "What are you doing...casting a spell?"
Ling Zhen did not stop swinging the two chopsticks wildly, and explained with a smile: "I am imitating the swordsman saint Ying Chun. Once upon a time, the old swordsman Ying Chun was in Chu, using his own swordsmanship, Easily kill hundreds of millions of ghosts and ghosts, and bring peace and health to the people here, and bring harmony and happiness to every family!"
Ling Xiaoxiao understood and nodded, but said in a counter-argument: "But brother, Senior Ying relies on two swords, not someone like you who holds two swords in his hands. Besides, you are obviously Chopsticks are not real swords.”
Ling Zhen quickly rolled his eyes at the Eighth Sister, stopped being immersed in the action of taking on the role of Sword Master, put the two wooden chopsticks back on the table, and said angrily: "You will spoil my interest, that old Sword Master Ying I lost my legs, so I had to use two swords to move around. Your brother, my legs are not broken and are sound, so I can only use my hands to hold the sword? What can I do?"
Glancing at the two mediocre and low-quality wooden chopsticks, the young man said more helplessly: "Besides, I only have a red sword given by my mother. Where can I find another sword? I can't do it. Use chopsticks to pretend instead? Do you need to be so serious?"
Seeing that her ninth brother was unhappy, Ling Xiaoxiao lowered her head slightly, resigned to the defeat, and said softly: "Okay."
Ling Zhen simply said, "That's pretty much it" and didn't pursue it further. After a while, the food and wine were served. Ling Zhen held the wine jar and began to drink happily. After a few gulps, his mood became better, and he suddenly thought of something. , said to Ling Xiaoxiao who was sitting next to her: "Sister Xiaoxiao, do you miss our eldest sister?"
"You Ling Fengge? Of course you do. She has been worshiping Ying Chun as her teacher for so many years and she has never been able to meet her. How could she not want to?"
The girl in white pouted and said, "But she is now in the Shang Academy on Tongdao Island. That broken island is so elusive that no one knows where she will be in the South China Sea. I don't have the realm of the Great Perfection of the Void Realm. , The sea is vast, and if you don’t have the capital to wander around for too long, you won’t be able to find it at all…”
Ling Zhen also sighed and said faintly: "Oh, you have to be right. Senior Ying is indeed not very honest in this matter. Where can I go? I just want my eldest sister to go to such a ghost place. Cultivation, what is Shang Academy, it is obviously a desert island! If I had known before going out, I would have asked the workers to build a large ship and load it in Najie in advance, so that after we go to the South China Sea to meet the Seventh Sister, we can go south directly. Went on the ferry to find my eldest sister.”
Ling Xiaoxiao thought about it for a while, and suddenly a happy look appeared on her face, as if she had a sudden inspiration, and she said excitedly: "Hey, brother, can we ask the seventh brother-in-law, Jiang Hu, the co-owner of the Shark God Sea Territory, to ask him A big enough ship, and then you can go to the South China Sea to look for Tongdao and play with my eldest sister!"
After drinking some wine, the young man in green robe also showed a very happy expression on his face, nodded and said: "This is reasonable, but the South China Sea has been very stormy since ancient times... Sister Xiaoxiao, are you afraid that the boat will suddenly capsize, and we will die together with the boat?" In the sea?”
The original intention of Ling Zhen's words was to use a provocation method, and sure enough, it was fully effective. After hearing this, Ling Xiaoxiao straightened her back immediately, raised her neck slightly, and said solemnly: "Of course she is not afraid, Ling Fengge dares to go to the South China Sea. Why can’t I, a younger sister, dare?!”
Ling Zhen chuckled and said: "Sister, she is going to the Island of Sorrow under the protection of her master. We don't have anyone to escort her. There is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen..."
Ling Xiaoxiao only hesitated for a moment, but still remained confident, and said loudly and boldly: "That's no problem, the children of the Ling family have never been timid. It's just a storm, what's there to be afraid of?"
Ling Zhen was deeply moved. He slammed the table with a loud bang, which attracted the attention of the surrounding drinkers. The young man smiled brightly and said: "What a Ling family child who is not afraid of wind and waves. Let's go! Wait until Shark God Sea Territory , when we arrive at the ship with our seventh brother-in-law Jiang Hu, we will set off to the Shang Academy to find Ling Fengge, who is now the proud disciple of the Sword Master, and see how our good eldest sister, whom we have not seen for many years, has changed now!"
