Xu Huilan said, "I'll go scoop it out for you." She brought a bowl of water.
The young master reached out and took it without drinking. He looked up and asked, "A newly built house?"
Jiang Yishu nodded: "Yes, it's only been a few months."
The young master said nothing, returned the water bowl to Xu Huilan, and left.
At night, in the forest outside Anqing Village, during the day the young man was confronting five women.
The woman shouted: "Who is it?"
The young master said: "My surname is Lin, Lin Xiaodong."
The woman said: "This is none of your business. If you don't want to die, just leave!"
Lin Xiaodong said: "Jiang Yishu and Xu Huilan are honest people, why do you want to harm them?"
The woman said: "Who told him to build his house higher than my brother Ma?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "Just because the house is built high, you are going to kill them?"
The woman puffed out her chest: "Not bad!"
These five women were Yuan Xiayun, Liu Xiaoyan, Jiang Yuru, Tian Yixin, Jiang Yueshan, and Lu Guifang from Jingze Cave, Huanglong Mountain, Gaoliang County. They were invited by magic to harm Jiang Yishu and Xu Huilan's family.
Lin Xiaodong said: "How could Lin allow such a thing to happen?"
Jiang Yueshan immediately rushed out: "You are seeking death on your own!"
Lin Xiaodong took off the sword from his back and fought with Jiang Yueshan. The two swords intersected and clashed. Before the battle was over, a sword stabbed Jiang Yueshan in the chest, causing a scream that turned into a ball of black smoke.
Tian Yixin exclaimed: "Sister!" She came to kill her with her sword.
Lin Xiaodong raised his sword to meet him, the two swords crossed each other, moved around and fought together for ten times, and cut off Tian Yixin's head, which turned into black smoke.
Jiang Yuru shouted and struck with a sword.
Lin Xiaodong came to meet him with a sword in his hand. After more than ten rounds of fighting, he stabbed Jiang Yuru in the chest, killing him.
Liu Xiaoyan asked in shock: "Who are you?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "When you meet Lin today, you and others will be able to escape suffering and gain happiness, and be born in a good place."
Liu Xiaoyan flew to get it, and Lin Xiaodong met her with the sword in his hand. After twenty rounds of fighting, he stabbed Liu Xiaoyan in the ribs and dissipated into black smoke.
Yuan Xiayun roared: "Damn it!" The Ningcui sword was unsheathed and he raised a sword.
Lin Xiaodong handed the sword back to the other side, and after more than twenty fights, Yuan Xiayun was stabbed in the throat with his sword, killing him.
Lin Xiaodong closed his eyes, and five rays of golden light shot out from the center of his eyebrows, falling to the ground, illuminating the souls of Yuan Xiayun, Liu Xiaoyan, Jiang Yuru, Tian Yixin, and Jiang Yueshan, stepping on lotus flowers, rising into the sky, and disappearing.
At the same time, Lu Guifang woke up from her dream, her eyes widened: "It's over..."
Jiang Yishu and Xu Huilan are safe and sound.
On the morning of the next day, Lin Xiaodong came to the Chenghuang Temple outside Anqing Village, looked inside the temple for a while, and then left.
At night, Lin Xiaodong came to the Chenghuang Temple again.
A gust of black wind blew, and five people appeared in front of the temple. They were Zhao Zhao, Jin Qian, Ji Conghong, Meng Yushu and Hong Jingshuo from Lingquandong in Jinyunshan Mountain.
Jin Qian shouted: "Who broke into my cave in the middle of the night?"
Lin Xiaodong smiled and asked: "Is this your cave?"
Zhao Zhao pinched his waist and stood up: "Exactly!"
Lin Xiaodong smiled ferociously: "Are you the City God?"
Zhao Zhaodao: "We are here to receive incense and protect the people. We are better than the city god!"
Lin Xiaodong snorted coldly: "When a monster becomes a spirit, he should hide in the wilderness and practice cultivation. Why don't you come here to pretend to be a righteous god and accept incense?"
Ji Conghong shouted: "Who are you? Do you want to take care of me?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "Lin Xiaodong, I have to take care of you today!"
Hong Jingshuo shouted: "Seeking death!" and struck with a sword.
Lin Xiaodong took off his sword to parry, fought Hong Jingshuo five times, and stabbed him to death with one sword.
Meng Yushu was shocked: "Brother Tao!" He raised his sword to fight.
Lin Xiaodong raised his sword to meet him, fought with Meng Yushu for ten times, and beheaded him with one sword.
Ji Conghong shouted: "Damn it!" He flew straight at him.
Lin Xiaodong parried with the sword in his hand. After fighting for ten seconds, he stabbed Ji Conghong in the throat with his sword, killing his name.
Jin Qian glared and said, "We have no enmity or enmity against you, why did you do this?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "Lin doesn't care about hatred when doing things, he only talks about right and wrong."
Jin Qian gnashed his teeth and struck with his sword.
Lin Xiaodong fought against Jin Qian again. After twenty rounds of fighting, he stabbed Jin Qian in the chest and died on the ground.
Zhao Zhao roared and waved his sword to kill.
Lin Xiaodong swung his sword and fought again. After thirty rounds, he beheaded Zhao Zhao and walked away.
A few days later, someone in the village went to the City God's Temple to burn paper, and was shocked to find that the statues in the temple were in a mess, some were headless, some were bodyless, and they were leaning around.
There was a girl named Zeng Meiying in Anqing Village, who was eighteen or nineteen years old. She had no father or mother and grew up eating food from hundreds of families.
That night, Zeng Meiying was washing clothes by the Bailing River outside the village. It was dark everywhere, and the silver moon hung low in the sky.
While she was washing, she suddenly saw a beautiful young man standing by the water, dressed in white, with a face like a crown jewel, smiling at her.
Zeng Meiying's laundry tub almost floated away, her face flushed, and she asked: "Who are you?"
The young man did not answer, but waved to Zeng Meiying.
Zeng Meiying's eyes suddenly went blank, she stood up, walked towards the beautiful boy, and stepped into the river little by little.
Early the next morning, women from the village came to the river to wash their clothes and saw Zeng Meiying floating in the water, dead for a long time.
People in the village fished out Zeng Meiying's body and reported it to the authorities.
The government sent a female police officer named Liu Qinghan to find Hong Ren, the villager who reported the case, and question him.
Hong Ren bowed his hands and said, "Hey, lady officer, are you looking for something to do with me?"
Liu Qinghan asked: "Did you report to the official?"
Hong Ren nodded: "Back to the official, it's me."
Liu Qinghan asked: "What is your relationship with Zeng Meiying?"
Hong Ren said: "Master, I have nothing to do with Miss Zeng. At best, we are fellow villagers. We live in the same village. If something happens, I happen to go to the county town, so I will report to the official on the way."
Liu Qinghan nodded and asked again: "Is there anyone else in Zeng Meiying's family?"
Hong Ren shook his head and sighed: "Miss Zeng was a poor child. She was born so young and beautiful, but she had no father or mother. She grew up eating the food of hundreds of families. However, she fell into the river and drowned after only a few days of happiness. Alas.
…”
Liu Qinghan asked: "Are there any strangers in the village recently?"
Hong Ren thought for a while and said: "Yes, there is a young man in white with a sword on his back. He is looking back and forth in and outside the village. His surname seems to be Lin?"
Liu Qinghan suddenly became interested: "Where does he live?"
Hong Ren shook his head: "I don't know either."
Liu Qinghan asked: "Does anyone know?"
Hong Ren shook his head: "No, no one asked."
Liu Qinghan nodded and said, "Miss Zeng, bury her first. If this person comes again, you can tell me." Then she left.
The village pooled together money to bury Zeng Meiying, and the girl, who was eighteen or nineteen years old, passed away.
At night, Liu Qinghan came alone to the place where Zeng Meiying drowned, and stayed in a daze by the river.
There were footsteps behind him, Liu Qinghan made a clanging sound, and drew his sword out of its sheath: "Who?"
The visitor was Lin Xiaodong, who asked: "What do you call the girl? Why do you come to the river late at night?"
Liu Qinghan looked Lin Xiaodong up and down and immediately became alert: "Who are you?"
Lin Xiaodong nodded and said, "I'm Lin Xiaodong." Liu Qinghan said, "I heard from the villagers that you were wandering around the village these past few days, and then Zeng Meiying died."
