I wish for longevity in the Peach Blossom Temple

Chapter 15 The Angry Bride

Qinghe County has always been much less populated than Linjiang City.

It’s not because the gates of hell opened wide and ghost caves appeared nearly half a year ago, but because although Qinghe County has the word "river" in its name, it is actually a small river and one of the tributaries of the Xunyang River. Its runoff is less than one-tenth of that of the Xunyang River.

There are many rugged mountains and deep old forests in the territory. There are many big monsters in the forests, and monsters often come down the mountains to harm people.

Although they had experienced the "Jia Zi Demon Slaying", a thousand years had passed, the demons had retaliated, and the number of places for people to live in Qinghe County had decreased a lot.

Baijia Village is three hundred miles north of Qinghe County. It is located in a mountain range and covers an area of ​​more than ten miles. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides and has only one narrow ancient road for passage.

February is coming to an end and the wild grasses in the mountains are about to bloom.

A trickling stream runs through the village, with lush grass and flowing water under small bridges, creating a pastoral scene.

Su Yang stood on the top of the mountain, quietly looking at Baijia Village surrounded by mountains.

If there were no evil spirits that often harm people, Baijia Village would be a paradise in the storybooks.

Baijia Village originally had a population of more than 740 people and more than 200 households.
There were few people around, everything was silent, and the fields were overgrown with weeds.

There aren't many people around.

Su Yang frowned.

Given the environment around Baijia Village, there should definitely not be a drought. However, according to Bai Ling, there was a severe drought in her home that year, and her father died of a serious illness. She had no choice but to sell herself to bury her father.

In the end, he was humiliated and died by his master's child.

There is a big problem in Baijia Village!

Su Yang did not fly, but walked along the narrow ancient path, wandering around among the broken rocks in the mountains and forests and the caves at the mountain passes. He felt as if "there is a small opening in the mountain, as if there is light" and "after walking a few dozen steps, the view suddenly becomes clear".

It seems that it took the ancestors of Baijia Village quite a while to open up the mountain road.

It was not until Su Yang stepped into Baijia Village that he realized something was wrong.

Baijia Village. The temperature is a bit high.

No wonder he looked down from the mountain and saw that Baijia Village was already full of flowers in February, more than a month earlier than outside the mountain.

"Old man, is this Baijia Village?"

Su Yang saw an old man with gray hair and beard at the entrance of the village. He was skinny and only wore a thin sweat shirt. He was half lying under a tree with his eyes closed to enjoy the cool air, so he went up to him and started a conversation.

"Master Dao?"

The old man opened his cloudy eyes and saw that Su Yang was dressed as a Taoist in a black Taoist robe. He stood up hurriedly and knelt on the ground.

"Master, you must save Baijia Village. There is an evil spirit in Baijia Village!" The old man knelt on the ground, his voice hoarse, and he kowtowed repeatedly, with blood on his forehead.

Obviously he had exhausted all his strength.

"Old man, what are you doing? If there is any evil spirit, please tell me the truth."

"Is the Taoist priest a fairy master from Qinghe County?"

"No."

"Oh, you are not the immortal master." The old man stopped kowtowing and sat on the ground, groaning, "If you are not the immortal master, without immortal arts, how can you destroy the evil spirits? My Baijia Village is suffering."

"I don't know what that evil spirit is. When the dog days arrive, it's extremely hot, causing drought and food shortages in Baijia Village every year. My child has pity on me. He went to the mountains to hunt. I have already advised him not to go. Baijia Village has its own ancestral teachings. There are monsters in the mountains, so he must not go there."

"He was very filial. He left secretly and didn't come back for a year."

"My Zhao family has been cut off from the roots!"

The old man fell to the ground, his shirt covered in dirt and dust, and he cried loudly, gasping for breath and becoming extremely weak.

Su Yang was very nervous.

The old man's words were intermittent and weak, but Su Yang still heard some information.

"Old man, how do you know that the drought was caused by evil spirits?" Su Yang asked softly.

"I've seen that evil old man before." The old man said weakly, searching his memory, as if he remembered something, and suddenly shouted in horror, "That was a bride with a red and flaming body!"

The old man coughed violently a few times and suddenly fainted.

Su Yang quickly passed a few strands of Yang energy to the old man, sorted out his breath, and waited quietly for the old man to wake up.

Angry bride?
Su Yang took out [Taoyang Ghost Talk] and searched through it carefully, trying to confirm the whereabouts of the evil spirit.

"It's not even mentioned in Taoyang Ghost Talk?"

Su Yang was surprised. This meant that in all the hundreds of years of inheritance of Taohua Temple, there had never been such a strange and evil thing.

However, according to the old man's description, he felt a sense of familiarity.

He sniffed lightly, seeming to sense an unusual smell in the air.

After three quarters of a second, the old man woke up.

Su Yang's Yang Qi is pure and is a great tonic. The old man's pale and dry face has become rosy. "Old man, help me find someone, and I will help you kill the evil spirit."

"Can you kill the evil spirit?"

"Don't worry. Although I am not the immortal master of Qinghe County, I am the immortal master of Linjiang City. I am no worse than those in Qinghe County." Su Yang said with a smile.

The martial arts lineage does not cultivate magical powers, and is not good at slaying ghosts and exorcising evil spirits, but it is famous for its ability to slay demons. When fighting with demons, they often punch each other flesh and blood, and it is very exciting. As for the Taoists, they are all attracted by the small ghost caves and would not come to Baijia Village to slay demons.

"Linjiang City?"

The old man was puzzled. He had lived in Baijia Village all his life and had never heard of Linjiang City. But this did not stop him from being overjoyed.

"That's great, that's great. I wonder who the Immortal Master is looking for?"

"There is a girl named Bai Ling in Baijia Village. I wonder where her mother is?"

"Her mother starved to death half a year ago."

"I, the old man, buried the body."

Su Yang remained silent.

"Old man, take me to pay my respects, and I will help you slay the evil spirits."

"Good good."

The old man agreed and took Su Yang towards the village.

After a while, they came to a small mound of earth and the old man bowed and said, "Master, Bai Ling's mother is buried here."

Su Yang walked forward slowly, took out a coin bag from his arms, buried it in the soil in front of the small mound, and recited the Sutra of the Transmigration of the Pure Land several times.

I understand clearly in my heart.

There were twelve taels, nine qian and twenty-eight wen of silver in the purse, exactly the same.

He turned to look at the old man, smiled, and said in a deep voice, "Old man, you may not know that Bai Ling died in vain, and his soul turned into a ghost and is crying in front of me."

"This money was earned from her sex trade for half a year after she turned into a ghost."

Su Yang held the peach wood sword without any hesitation. The peach wood sword swelled in the wind, and a magnificent golden light condensed on the sword body.

With one sword, he cut off the small mound of earth.

There wasn't even a corpse inside!
The old man stared blankly at the chopped-off mound of earth, his body softened, and he knelt on the ground again.

"Master, I'm so sorry! She forced me to do this! My child is not dead!"

"Master, I'm so sorry!!!"

The old man knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

"How dare the evil spirit to kill people!"

Su Yang turned around suddenly, and the peach wood sword suddenly grew several feet longer again, slashing out a shocking sword light, which fell on the old man.

The old man was immediately knocked back and rolled on the ground for countless times, splashing countless mud and dust and leaving a long groove.

Su Yang looked slightly cold.

He used all his strength in this sword attack, but he couldn't even cut the old man's body in half!
You must know that even a headless ghost at the second level of Xuanguan Realm can be annihilated by a single sword strike.

"You! How did you find me?!"

A miserable scream came from the old man's body. He stood up suddenly, and a shocking wound was visible on his chest.

A pair of sharp claws stretched out from the wound, and then a beautiful head with distinct features, a fiery red body, and slender and straight legs emerged from the wound little by little.

Finally, a slender woman dressed in red, with flames burning all over her body, and even her hair turning into flames, stood in front of Su Yang.

A shocking wound ran across the woman's chest.

Fortunately, I was able to break through the defense.

Su Yang nodded.

Since she was able to break through the defense, it meant that the woman was not an evil spirit in the Jindan realm. Otherwise, with Su Yang's cultivation level, no matter how powerful he was, he would have no choice but to escape.

Su Yang observed the evil spirit quietly.

If her whole body had not been burned like red charcoal, Su Yang could conclude that this woman must have been a charming and well-proportioned woman when she was alive.

I don’t know how the woman managed to hide in the body of the shriveled old man.

Su Yang was finally able to determine the whereabouts of the evil spirit in front of him.

Goddess!

Drought!
