Chapter 40: Ballads from Peach Blossom Spring

Views:

"It's not good to use the majority to bully the minority."

Zhou Chuan said so, and then tapped the roof lightly. It was like a life switch was turned on, and the entire Peach Blossom Land came alive.

All at once, the sounds of cocks crowing, dogs barking, and people talking could be heard, and smoke from cooking and the sound of birds singing rose up, along with the fragrance of flowers, and drifted into the attacker's nostrils.

It can be said that the scene before their eyes perfectly fits the people of Jiuzhou’s pursuit of beauty and happiness, but the attacker did not feel relaxed at all. Instead, he felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on his head, and he couldn't help but tremble all over.

This feeling is like camping alone in a dark jungle deep in the mountains. Suddenly, a night wind blows, the fire goes out, pairs of eyes flashing eerie green light begin to spy, and from time to time, wails of hunger can be heard all around.

"The stones were transported to Ganquankou, and the Wei River stopped flowing. Thousands of people sang, tens of thousands of people shouted, and the stones were piled up like a mountain..."

An ethereal child's voice sounded, with an accent in the tune, but for some reason, the attacker was able to understand the content of the song, and a series of images unconsciously formed in his mind.

She swallowed subconsciously, summoned a spray bottle, pressed it on herself several times, and her mind became clear again.

After taking a few deep breaths, she commanded the spirit cards and ghost soldiers to protect herself, and observed all around under layers of cover.

The originally empty village now had a lot of life, with gazes from all directions ranging from naive to experienced.

The people who were singing the folk song just now were a group of children who were chasing each other.

They ran and ran, came to the little devil with her eyes covered, untied the chains that bound her, and then took her to play in the village, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

During this time, no matter how the attacker called out in his heart, there was no response.

She began to curse herself in her heart for being too careless and accidentally entering Zhou Chuan's territory. Now, she lost more than she gained and probably couldn't even go to the finals.

"No, no, I must go fight Japan!"

She gritted her teeth and waved her hand violently, commanding her ghost soldiers to charge.

The three people on Zhou Chuan's side began to attack freely. Chains, mourning sticks, golden shackles, and swords flew out together, and flowers appeared in the air.

Relying on his tall and strong physique, Master Jia faced the two spiritual cards on the opposite side alone. Occasionally, he would kick the ghost soldiers who came to disturb his battle, like a child kicking a can, and kick them more than ten meters high.

It was like an invincible war machine, using fists, feet, shackles and swords to beat the ghost soldiers to the point where they were on the verge of fleeing at any time.

At this moment, the attacker put on a monocle and actually found Zhou Chuan's figure in the area.

"Help me stop them!"

She let out a light shout, and took a big step into the air with an agile figure. It was as if a taut bowstring suddenly loosened, releasing an arrow that could destruct everything, which heavily smashed onto the roof where Zhou Chuan was hiding.

What followed was a high-speed rotating shield. The attacker caught it and swung it towards Zhou Chuan with huge kinetic energy.

But the feedback that came back didn't feel like it hit anything solid, it seemed like it just cut through the air.

Before she could react, she heard a creaking sound. The roof, which could no longer withstand the damage, suddenly cracked. She didn't check and fell directly into the house.

After finally getting up, he was met with several cold gazes directed at him.

"It's you who destroyed my family's crops?!" The old woman with a dark face and wrinkles on her face suddenly let out an extremely shrill roar.

The attacker subconsciously said "I didn't", but at this time the other party's hand tightly grasped her neck, and her voice gradually became smaller.

After adjusting her breathing, she summoned a card from her heart and threw it at the old woman. In an instant, flames shot up into the sky and the orange-red flames engulfed the entire family.

But before she could catch her breath, she saw the same ugly crow she had encountered before when she accidentally cut the crops.

Only then did she notice that the eyes of this strange bird were not bird eyes, but human eyes.

"Outsiders destroy my livelihood and hurt my relatives. Everyone in Taohuayuan has the right to kill them!"

The crow suddenly spoke in human language, which was as harsh as scratching glass, as if it wanted to explode people's internal organs with its voice.

The attacker barely managed to stand up, and then he noticed that he was being watched from all directions.

The people in Taohuayuan are very friendly, so friendly that they would set out wine and kill chickens for outsiders; but they are also very vicious, so vicious that they would use all means to kill the uninvited guests who come with a purpose and disturb their peace.

The guy who launched the sneak attack was obviously the latter.

"Kill her!"

A rolling wave of sound came, and the attacker ran towards the direction of Lingka and ghost soldiers without looking back.

But before she could take a few steps, a little ghost jumped out and almost tripped her.

In a hurry, she raised her hand to call out the weapon card, took out a big knife from it, and using her last bit of strength, she turned into a manic typhoon, trying to fight her way out of a "bloody road".

But the more she acted, the crazier the people of Peach Blossom Spring became. The resentment and hatred in their eyes seemed to turn into substance and condense into sea water to drown them.

“Hu…Hu…”

The attacker collapsed from exhaustion before she had even walked half a mile. She tried to move her cramped calves and ran towards the main road.

Just as she was about to be caught by an old man with a pale face and dark eyes, suddenly a hand reached out, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into a house.

The offensive of the people of Peach Blossom Spring also stopped.

"Thanks."

She instinctively thanked him, but by the time she realized what was happening, it was too late.

She only saw a card with a purple border, which became clearer in her eyes, and then turned into an enchanting light, directly against her forehead.

Until the last moment, she finally saw the words on the card clearly: Auspicious Day for the Underworld Demon.

“That’s really amazing.”

Zhou Chuan said this with emotion, then squatted down and looked carefully at the girl with short hair.

To be honest, she was not particularly good-looking, but her frown was filled with heroism and stubbornness. From her not-so-fair skin and somewhat rough hands, it could be seen that she had suffered a lot in her previous training.

"Master Jia, Master Qi, Master Ba, please stop!"

As he said this softly, the Seventh and Eighth Masters stopped their attacks instantly. Only Master Jia was still swinging the golden yoke mechanically again and again due to inertia. In the end, it was the Eighth Master who stopped him with the soul-catching chain.

The battle is over.

Zhou Chuan opened the door tiredly and let the sunlight fall on his shoulders.

The spiritual people of Peach Blossom Spring lowered their heads upon seeing this. The ghost soldiers summoned by the two spirit cards and the army card seemed to have lost their mental strength because their masters had been captured, and they fell to the ground exhausted and weak.

"It's time to go back."

As Zhou Chuan was speaking, the world suddenly spun around him, his vision dimmed again, and a cold wind blew.
