The climate in Guangxi is very different from that of gloomy Sichuan, and after the bright moon night, the next day is another beautiful day, and the two are ready to continue on the road.

Since they had arrived in Guangxi, the carriage driver of the two needed to be replaced, and the shopkeeper of Xinrongzhuang saw that Pu Zixuan was quite generous, and thought that the fertilizer and water would not flow into the fields of outsiders, so he found a local cousin for the two to be their coachman and guide.

The coachman's surname is Fang, his temples are white, slightly hunchbacked, and he is also amiable, and he greeted him with a smile: "I don't know where the son and the girl are going?" ”

Pu Zixuan said: "We are going to Guiping County. I've calculated, from Liuzhou Mansion, it will arrive in ten days, how about we pay you two taels of silver? ”

Pu Zixuan calculated in his heart that the income of ordinary coachmen working hard to pull the car for a month was only one or two silver, and he gave double the price, expecting that the other party would readily agree, but who knew that when the old man heard the name of "Guiping County", he was suddenly shocked: "This ...... Childe, during this period, it's not a joke to go to Liuzhou Mansion in Guiping County, right? ”

Pu Zixuan had already studied the map, and if he wanted to go south from Sichuan and enter Xunzhou Mansion, where Guiping County was located, the fastest straight road was undoubtedly to cross Liuzhou Mansion. Do you know a quicker way? Let's talk about it. ”

The coachman smiled: "Two, listen to the accent, aren't you from Guangxi?" ”

Chen Shuqing was puzzled: "We are indeed not from Guangxi. How? If you have any questions, please feel free to speak up. ”

The shopkeeper of Xinrongzhuang was also on the side, and after listening to it, he apologized to the old party: "I'm sorry, old man, I just knew that they were going to take this route." They are outsiders and don't understand the stakes, so you can tell them about this business, you can do it, you can't do it, let's think about it in the long run. ”

Pu Zixuan's curiosity suddenly rose to his throat: "Hehe, interesting, could it be that there are still man-eating demons and monsters on that road?" ”

The coachman did not hide it, and said: "Alas, don't laugh, son, I'm afraid it's true." At the junction of Liuzhou and Xunzhou, there is a canyon called Broken Gut Valley, and I heard that there is a strange pattern there: since more than 100 years ago, after the New Year every year, some monsters will breed one after another, and the number of monsters will reach its peak in May. Although it sounds mysterious, we ordinary people would rather believe it, so we have formed an unwritten rule in our industry, from the New Year to the end of the 'New Year', we will not take that route. ”

"Keeping the year?" Chen Shuqing's face was full of doubts.

The old man bowed and said: "Alas, look at us who are uneducated, it is not good to talk about anything." The so-called 'keeping the year', in fact, is an annual large-scale demon removal activity, every May, the imperial court will invite many purification messengers to enter the valley together to concentrate on eliminating monsters, over time, this annual large-scale demon removal activity has become a tradition, you say'keep the year', we Guangxi people almost know. ”

"Wait, you just said, Purification Messenger? Do you know the Purification Messenger too? Pu Zixuan seemed to have suddenly discovered a new world, and he was excited.

"Yes, we ordinary people don't understand how this name came about...... Anyway, in order to keep these purification messengers, and was unwilling to give them a separate Yulu, they agreed to trade with them, buying and selling monsters, these people saw that it was profitable, so they stayed in Guangxi and did not leave, and gradually formed a large and small number of sects, after more than 100 years of division and merger, and finally stabilized into the four major demon sects in the province, namely the Yongshengmen of Guilin City in Guilin Prefecture in the north, the Xianjiantang in Guiping County, Xunzhou Prefecture in the south, and the Qianwumen in Fuchuan County, Pingle Prefecture in the east, and a ...... Well, there's another one...... Yes, yes, the Dragon Slaying Gang in Laibin County, Liuzhou Prefecture in the west, together they are also known as the 'Shou Sui Alliance'. ”

"However, your Guangxi is the birthplace of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and people believe in Heavenly Father, how can they allow these messy things to exist?" Pu Zixuan asked.

Chen Shuqing sighed: "Alas, Xiao Jiu, it doesn't matter if you don't study and have no culture, but you didn't find out, let's come to the Guangxi border for a day or two, can the coins of the Qing Dynasty circulate normally?" ”

"Really." Pu Zixuan touched his messy hair and said, "Yo, it's better to tie up your braids from tomorrow." ”

The old man smiled: "What the girl said is very true! Hong Xiuquan's incident in Guangxi Province was in the autumn of the 24th year of Daoguang, and he left Guangxi and went to Hunan before the New Year of the second year. That's how they are, fighting all the way and losing all the way, so the time to control Guangxi is actually less than a year. During that time, Hong Xiuquan also said that the kingdom of heaven can only believe in the Heavenly Father, not in demons, and is not allowed to spread the theory of monsters, and is ready to stop the New Year's celebration. They probably haven't experienced the monster in person, so they don't know how powerful the monster is in the Broken Gut Valley...... Fortunately, the order was not carried out, and they left. ”

Pu Zixuan didn't know what to do, and asked again: "Such a coincidence?" Just before the New Year's Eve left? Could it be that Hong Xiuquan's decree harmed the interests of those sects and was forced to leave? ”

The shopkeeper laughed and said: "Hahaha, on the surface, they left because of the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army, but we ordinary people think the same as Gongzi." Only God knows what the truth is. ”

Lao Fang said: "We don't know whether the rumors about monsters are true or not. It's just that the New Year's League only concentrates on going to the Broken Gut Valley to eliminate demons in May, and usually doesn't bother to care about these idle things, allowing the monsters to move, therefore, from the New Year to the New Year's Eve activities in May, no one dares to step into the Broken Gut Valley, and this mountain is the only way to reach Guiping County, although I have never seen the monsters with my own eyes, but I always feel that these legends will not be groundless......"

Pu Zixuan laughed secretly, the coachmen everywhere are the same, after reading countless customers, he has always heard a lot of rumors that ordinary people will never hear in their lifetime, and even uses terms like "monster" and "purification messenger", which also saves the effort of the two of them to explain.

Pu Zixuan told the truth: "Okay, we all understand the situation." But Lao Fang, in fact, I am the purification messenger you said. As for me, I can sense the demonic energy of the monsters, so when we arrive in the Broken Intestine Valley area, the three of us can choose to bypass the demonic energy. ”

The old man was skeptical: "You are a purification messenger?" Hehe, not to mention whether the purification messenger exists, even if it exists, it is said that there will only be one in a million people, is it such a coincidence? Just happened to let me run into it today? ”

Pu Zixuan was interested: "Hehe, otherwise, let's try it." ”

As soon as Pu Zixuan's words fell, the old man felt a void under his feet, and saw that his entire body was being held up by an invisible force, hovering high in the air.

"This ...... What's going on? Lao Fang had never seen such a strange thing in his life for decades, and he was immediately stunned, waving his limbs indiscriminately.

"This is the purifying power that you have heard countless times but have never seen before, or I'll take you to the roof to play?" Pu Zixuan played vigorously, controlling the old side to continue rising, and he was about to hit the ceiling.

"Don't don't, Master of Purification, I believe in you, let me go!" The old man begged for mercy.

Pu Zixuan's goal was achieved, and he no longer embarrassed the old man, let him land safely, and said with his eyebrows: "It's a pity, you, a mortal, can't see how handsome my Galaxy Dragon King is!" ”

"Boring." Chen Shuqing showed a look of disdain.

The old man wiped the sweat on his forehead: "It turns out ...... Those legends are true. ”

"That's true, so, we can get around the monsters."

Lao Fang disagreed: "Although you are a purification messenger, this ...... I'm afraid it still doesn't work. It is said that some people have tried it, and this method may work in other places, but not in the Valley of Broken Intestines. The mountains around the Broken Gut Valley are covered with a kind of tree called the small leaf red bean, and I heard that under its interference, all the demonic energy and purifying power in the entire canyon will not be sensed. ”

Pu Zixuan shrugged: "Alas, the purification envoy and the monster are such a thing, there are indeed many thieves." ”

The coachman's statement was also agreed by Chen Shuqing: "He is right, plants such as small-leaved red beans and small-leaved red sandalwood are sacred objects that specialize in restraining purification messengers and monsters. Guangxi Province is rich in small-leaved red beans, fortunately, small-leaved red beans only make our breath unable to be sensed, but it will not affect the exertion of energy, and the small-leaved red sandalwood from India is even more terrifying, in addition to isolating the breath, it can even make the monsters and purification messengers completely incapacitated. Do you remember the box that Ling Zun used to pack "Mixed Moon Jue"? I said a long time ago, that material must be a small leaf red bean or a small leaf red sandalwood, so that the breath of the "Mixed Moon Jue" will be so completely isolated......"

Now Pu Zixuan finally understood why so many rich people favored the small leaf red sandalwood, it turned out that it was not only exquisite, but also had the effect of "warding off evil spirits", of course, the purification messenger was also regarded as the object of "dispelling", Pu Zixuan still had some opinions.

Pu Zixuan naturally has a strong ability to eliminate demons, and there is also an unfathomable Chen Shuqing by his side, who is not impressed by the monsters of the Broken Intestine Valley, but the language is pale, and to use his mouth to persuade the old party to believe them is tantamount to playing the piano to the cow. The most convincing thing in the world is still silver, and Pu Zixuan increased the price of hiring the old party by five times: "Considering your concerns, let's do it, how about I give ten taels of silver for this trip?" ”

Lao Fang swallowed his saliva: "This ...... It's not about the money, Childe. ”

"Okay, if ten taels doesn't work, just twenty taels! If you don't agree again, I'll find someone else. ”

"This ......"

After hearing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly persuaded: "Oh, I said Lao Fang, you can earn twenty taels of silver in a few days, and you can't earn that much in a year!" Anyway, with the protection of the Purification Messenger, what are you afraid of? If I don't have to guard the inn, I'd fucking want to go by myself! ”

Under the temptation of money, Lao Fang finally reluctantly agreed: "Alas, okay...... However, we have to say that if there is any danger on the way, I would rather not make so much money than retreat immediately. ”

"Okay, that's it." Pu Zixuan agreed to him, thinking: If you encounter a monster on the road, let's show our ability on the spot to open his eyes.
