That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 936

About a hundred miles away from the border of Shuzhou, there is a beautiful stockade, which is different from those built in the northwest to resist the grassland cavalry. The stockade here is composed of stilted buildings, and the outside of the stockade is built on the mountain The layers of terraced fields are lush green, shining a refreshing light in the sun.

This is a completely different scenery from Jiangbei, Jiangnan, Northeast, and Northwest. It is hard to imagine that this place was once completely stained red with blood, corpses were strewn all over the place, and blood flowed into rivers.

Today, a weird guest came to this village. He said it was weird because he was a full-fledged Central Plains person. According to reason, he should have been beheaded by the patrolling rattan soldiers, but instead of being beheaded, he He came to the village in a grand manner. It is said that the owner of the village personally issued an order not to embarrass this guest.

The village is called Lihuazhai, and it is the largest village within a hundred miles. There are about [-] people, most of whom are "familiar people" who migrated from Nanzhong Qifu, and most of them are familiar with the appearance of the Central Plains people. and habits, only a small part of them are "savages" and people of witch religion. In southern Xinjiang, witch monks have a very high status, even better than the masters of Molun Temple and shamanism on the grassland. Whether it is a teacher or a shaman, in the final analysis they still have to obey the orders of the Khan King of the Grassland, but in southern Xinjiang, the highest-ranking person is not the barbarian king, but Zhu Jiuyin, the great elder of the witch religion.

The same is true for Lihua Village. There are two people with the highest status, the village owner and an elderly wizard who have been stationed here for many years. The oldest wizard in the village will make the choice.

This is somewhat similar to the sanctuary in the Far West. The villages of each village must listen to the wizard, and teach them from the king.This is also the goal pursued by the Taoist sect, to make the Taoist sect superior to the royal power and imperial power, so they want to divide the world into four parts, so that the princes of the world will stand side by side, whether it is to attack others or to protect themselves, they must ask each other For the Taoist sect that is detached from the outside world, in this way, the status of the Taoist sect will naturally rise steadily, and even hundreds of thousands of years later, even the candidate for the monarch will be controlled by the Taoist sect.

It's just that Xu Beiyou never felt that this was a move in line with the general trend. On the contrary, he felt that this move was just like rejuvenating a wealthy family. If the two words are removed, they must not be allowed to accomplish this matter, so the two sides are already at odds with no room for reconciliation, and can only be divided into life and death.

Xu Beixuan walked in the village, attracting a lot of eyes, most of these eyes were guarded and hostile, but occasionally a few unworldly children stared at him curiously with wide-eyed eyes, and even a few He opened his mouth to talk to him, but unfortunately Xu Beiyou couldn't understand these southern Xinjiang languages, and he didn't have the means to hurt his heart in Buddhism, but he should have asked who he was, or where he came from.

In the warm spring breeze, Xu Beiyou walked forward slowly, followed by a group of children, but soon these children were pulled back by their parents, and they were not allowed to mess around.

Xu Beiyou quickly stopped.

Then, under the guard of a group of elite rattan armor soldiers, a woman with a long knife on her waist walked towards Xu Beiyou. She had a graceful and graceful figure, a tall figure, and slender legs. The jewelry and decorations, and the small shirt on the upper body is extremely small, revealing a small waist that is full of grip.

A touch of dazzling white was added in the middle of the blue clothes, which made Xu Beiyou lose his mind for a moment.

It's not that Xu Beiyou has never seen a woman. Xiao Zhinan and Wu Yu are not extremely beautiful, but they have never seen such a woman, who is completely different from the Central Plains women.

When the woman was still a dozen steps away from Xu Beiyou, she stopped and asked in a slightly unfamiliar Daqi official dialect with a Shuzhou accent: "Can you understand what I said?"

Xu Beiyou smiled and said, "I can generally understand it."

People outside would never have guessed that the owner of this huge Lihua Village was actually a young woman. When Xu Beiyou was in Baidi City, he only learned from Sun Shaotang that the owner of this village was named Lan Lihua, judging by her surname. , should be regarded as "familiar man", because according to the barbarian tradition, the last letter of the father's name is the son's surname, so it has been passed down from generation to generation, but this woman has the surname of the Central Plains, so naturally she is not someone who has lived in the depths of the Shiwan Mountain for many years "Born barbarians" should be barbarians from the seven prefectures of Nanzhong.

In fact, Xu Beiyou has no prejudice against these barbarians who have lived in Shuzhou for thousands of years, and even disapproves of the so-called "raw barbarians" and "cooked barbarians". The goal of his trip to southern Xinjiang this time lies more in that The mysterious witch religion, this is the chief culprit that directly led Wei Jin to conquer southern Xinjiang.

But if he wants to go to the witch religion, Xu Beiyou still needs to deal with this woman in front of him.

Lan Lihua said directly: "Since you can understand, then I will ask directly. If there is any offense, I hope you will not be angry. Unlike you people from the Central Plains, we don't have so many red tapes."

Xu Beiyou nodded.

The woman who looked not much older than Xu Beiyou said slowly: "Although I don't know what you are here for, I can be sure that you are from the Central Plains. You said you are looking for the elders of the witch religion, but I will help you." The elders ask you, why do you go to see the elders?"

Xu Beiyou smiled, but did not speak.

As the owner of such a large village, the woman naturally has her merits, and she was not angry, but said with an emphatic tone: "Maybe you have a high status and status in the Central Plains, or you are a member of a certain big sect. The outstanding disciple in the book is the legendary great talent of exiled immortals, but don't forget, this is the Southern Border, not the Central Plains, since you have come to the Southern Border, you have to follow the rules of the Southern Border."

Xu Beiyou looked at the woman and suddenly remembered something, but he still didn't speak.

The woman's eyes became colder and her tone became colder, "If you don't want to follow the rules of southern Xinjiang, then I can only ask you to leave."

Xu Beiyou suddenly asked, "Have you heard of Mr. Dongxing?"

Lan Lihua was startled suddenly.

Xu Beiyou continued: "I remember that many years ago, a sword fairy came out of this place in southern Xinjiang. He was known as the number one master in southern Xinjiang, and the world called him Mr. Dongxing."

Lan Lihua was a little hesitant, and asked tentatively, "Do you know Mr. Dongxing?"

In southern Xinjiang, Mr. Dongxing has a great reputation and has left many stories. He is almost a figure in legends. Dare not to do evil, so that the Central Plains people outside the mountain dare not enter the mountain half a step. If General Shura Lin Han's notoriety can stop children from crying at night, then Mr. Dongxing's name is the best weapon to counter General Shura.Whenever parents use General Shura to scare their children who refuse to fall asleep, although the children will fall asleep obediently, they will still say a word that Mr. Dongxing will beat General Shura away, and then they will fall asleep.

Naturally, Lan Lihua knew the name of Mr. Dongxing.

Xu Beiyou said softly: "Actually speaking, Mr. Dongxing is still an elder of mine."
