Chu Liang and Jiang Yuebai walked along the street to the City Supervisory Office in Shaonan Town, only to realize that two people were missing. They turned around and saw that Xu Ziyang and Ling Ao were far behind.
"Senior Brother Xu and Senior Brother Ling, why are you walking so slowly?" Chu Liang said with a smile.
The two people behind were silent for a while, and then Ling Ao said, "I'm tired from walking."
"?"
Chu Liangxin said that if you make up a lie, you should also make up a more reliable one. It is such a short street and the old man selling sugar paintings just now can walk back and forth with a cart as fast as flying.
Without further talking about this, an official from the City Supervision Division was quickly welcomed into the station. He smiled and said, "Are these young heroes from the Shushan Sect? I am Chen He, the commander of the City Supervision Division of Shaonan Town."
"I've met Lingguan Chen." Jiang Yuebai saluted gently.
Because she is the chief of Zhengba Jing'er, when the four of them are outside, she is still the leader in public.
"Four of you, please come in quickly. I'll explain the mystery here in detail." Chen He raised his arm to guide the way, very politely.
Along the way, he also briefly talked about the situation of the Shaonan Town garrison.
Although the Jianguo Mansion gathered heroes from all over the world, it was still short of manpower. Usually, a large city has a city supervision department, guarded by a city supervision officer; the surrounding small cities are also stationed by this city supervision department, and each station has a small commander.
Du Ce of Yanbo City, whom Chu Liang and others were familiar with, was the city supervisor. And this Chen He is the little commander under his command. So when something happened this time, he asked Shushan for help again.
Originally, villages and towns like this usually did not have a resident station.
But Shaonan Town is adjacent to the Guizi River and is an important water transport town from all directions. Its prosperity is better than that of ordinary small towns, so a garrison was set up.
But there are only two people guarding the garrison, Chen He and his younger brother Chen Luo, and both of them are only in the third realm.
After walking all the way into the house and taking a seat, Chen He sighed: "Everyone is here, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. I have been so worried these past two days."
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen. Let's talk about the mystery first." Jiang Yuebai said.
Chen He didn't hesitate and started to speak directly: "It's the Hairpin Festival in Shaonan Town these days..."
Mid-September is the traditional festival of Shaonan Town, the Hairpin Festival.
Guizijiang gets its name because of the unique laurel blooming on the river bank. Its appearance and fragrance are far superior to other osmanthus species.
At this time of year, when the laurels on the riverside are in full bloom, people in the city will play by the riverside on clear nights.
At this time, people will give each other hairpins as a etiquette. The elders will give hairpins to the younger ones, which represents expectations and blessings; the younger generations will give hairpins to the elders, which represents respect and love; merchants entering will also give hairpins to customers to represent welcome and gratitude. .
The most anticipated thing is the hairpin between young men and women. If a young man likes a girl, he can go and ask for her hairpin. If the girl does not fall in love with the young man, she will refuse and avoid him.
Of course, there will also be some brave girls who will take the initiative to give hairpins to teenagers.
However, this hairpin does not mean anything else! It just means that the two of them like each other and can travel together for a while to get to know each other. It is just a way to get to know the opposite sex they like.
"Even if you accept the hairpin, it doesn't mean anything." Chen He emphasized: "Our Shaonan Town is not a place outside the Great Wall with open folk customs."
Because every year, foreigners regard this as a way to find an affair and want to have something with a girl with a hairpin, but they are punished.
But when the Hairpin Festival came into bloom the day before yesterday, something strange happened.
There were three similar cases, all of which involved a pair of young girls discovering the figure of another beauty in white during the process of getting hairpins. The young man changed the target of his hairpin, and then he met a vicious hand and died miserably.
Two of them died violently, and only one escaped with his life because he did not get close to the beauty in white.
"Wait a minute..." Chu Liang caught the key, "Because the third man didn't abandon the original partner, was he let off?"
"Not really, it's just that when the man was about to approach the female ghost last night, he was interrupted by my brother." Chen He said: "My two brothers went to patrol the river last night, and my brother discovered the traces of the female ghost. , briefly fought with her, and saved the third victim.”
Jiang Yuebai looked around and asked, "By the way, where is your brother now?"
"He is lying on the hospital bed." Chen He said.
oh.
No wonder they are asking for help.
…
At night, the moonlight is like water.
Naturally, the news that this place was haunted in the past two days could not be concealed, and the number of people traveling to the river dropped sharply. What is the Hairpin Festival? No matter how important the ritual is, it is not as important as life.
Even if there were pedestrians in twos and threes, they might be relatively uninformed. Seeing that the long street was empty, they all quickly went home.
Xu Ziyang was sitting on a roof facing the river, looking around.
On the top of a dense tree on the other side of the river in the distance, Ling Ao was dressed in black, hiding in the dark night.
The female ghost always appears when a man gives a woman a hairpin, which shows that she may be obsessed with it. If it is an ordinary evil spirit that can defeat a third-level cultivator, it is considered to be quite strong, and its behavior will naturally not be so repetitive and rigid.
But the description of the female ghost should be that of a wraith, so that's different.
No matter how strong the resentful spirit is, it will always be guided by resentment. As long as it sees a scene that will trigger the obsession in life, it will appear.
But there are only a few people on the street at this moment, and it is estimated that the female ghost will not show up again.
So in the evening, a few people made a plan. Two people pretended to be young girls with hairpins to lure the evil spirit to appear.
There is no need to worry about choosing the girl, there is only one in the team.
Fairy Jiang is considered a top match girl.
There were three male guests selected for the young man. At that time, Chu Liang said with a smile: "How about the chief senior sister choose one of the three of us to partner with you."
Jiang Yuebai said angrily: "Which one to choose? Men who seduce resentful spirits are the most dangerous, so naturally you are the one to do it."
The young commander Chen He was also in the hall. When he heard this, he said weakly: "If you put it this way, as the young commander of Shaonan Town, I can't just sit back and watch. If it is really dangerous, I can actually bear it..."
"That's not necessary." Chu Liang stood up suddenly, "I, a disciple of Shushan, have always taken it as my duty to eliminate demons and protect the Tao. How can we retreat at this moment? Mr. Chen, just wait for our good news!"
Xu Ziyang and Ling Ao had no intention of competing with Chu Liang. Xu Ziyang only wanted to restore the glory of Shushan, while Ling Ao wanted to one day surpass the three talented monsters in front of him...
So, they each looked for sentry posts and waited.
A gust of night wind blew by.
A small boat sailed on the river, and a handsome young man in brocade clothes on the bow was Chu Liang. He quietly looked ahead, where Jiang Yuebai was waiting for him on the shore.
Everything went according to plan.
But before the boat docked, Xu Ziyang in the distance suddenly changed his eyes, and the light in his eyes skyrocketed!
There is evil spirit!
Although they say they want to catch female ghosts, if there are evil spirits, they cannot let go. The next second he noticed the demonic energy coming from the wind, Xu Ziyang's figure was already flying dozens of feet against the wind!
The Zhan Gang Sword takes action immediately!
As the eldest brother of Jade Sword Peak, he has the richest experience in traveling in the world among the four people. He knows that this is different from fighting in the mountain gate arena.
In the battle against evil spirits, every moment may be a life-and-death struggle! No room for mercy!
laugh--
The sword glowed out, stabbing at the source of the demonic energy.
And the monster escaped very quickly, suddenly flashing into the sweet-scented osmanthus forest nearby, and seemed to blend into it. Xu Ziyang used his remaining energy and sharp eyes to chase after him!
"Don't leave evil spirits!"
Good morning (really).
I didn't sleep all night, my schedule was crazy again, and I sent it out right after I got back from the nucleic acid test.
Thanks to the leader of "Qingningzi", 44+1=45.
I originally wanted to take a leave of absence to open a new volume, but seeing that people were competing for the rankings at the beginning of the month and giving rewards all over the place, I thought that I should at least stop messing around, so I insisted on writing the beginning.
After I finished my hair, I had to catch up on my sleep quickly. I was going to die.
