Chapter 0018 - Encountering Relatives on the Street
"The guest officer doesn't believe that he can go and see it, it's in the square not far from the Phantom Mansion in the south of the city, and you can find it by following the crowd!" said the strong man as he pointed in the direction for Ling Chong.
Ling Chong was said to be the rise of the strong man now, in the past half a year, he really hasn't seen such a lively scene again, even in the Xuantian Gate at the beginning, because of the strict door rules, he rarely goes down the mountain, let alone go to such an occasion to join in the fun, and now he really has the meaning of going to see the excitement, so he said goodbye to the strong man and walked to the south of the city with the crowd.
............
In the south of the Phantom City, when Ling Chong, the outer square of the Phantom Mansion, came here with the crowd, there were already a lot of people gathered here to see the excitement, it was really a small bamboo building surrounded by a square with three floors inside and three floors outside, the bamboo building was quiet and chic, there were many maids on the upper floor, there was a sword platform in the middle of the maids on both sides, and a purple sword was inserted on the sword platform, and a purple scabbard next to the sword.
Ling Chong saw that there was an unknown pattern engraved on this purple rhyme, which was really beautiful, not only that, but the purple rhyme sword seemed to exude a burst of inexplicable fragrance, thinking that from the day it became a sword, it has always been a woman's special sword.
"Everyone, welcome to the Phantom Bamboo Tower!" Ling Chong was stunned when a young, veiled woman on the bamboo tower spoke, waving her hand to silence the noise of the crowd.
"Presumably everyone understands the rules, and I don't need to say more, if anyone has the ability to put this sword into the sheath, our young lady will marry whomever it is, so any man who is not disabled at the right age and has good looks and facial features can come up and give it a try!" The veiled woman also stretched out her hand to the sword as she spoke.
"I, I, I ......!" the veiled woman's voice just fell, and then a noise sounded again under the bamboo building, and then many men took the stage in turn, you must know that the Phantom City Lord is powerful and snobbish on this side, not to mention that his sister looks like a flower and jade at the moment, even if there are people who are greedy for power in general, they will come forward, but those people rushed to pick up the sword, not only did they put the sword into the sheath, but they were actually bounced away by an inexplicable force, and they all fell on the platform of the bamboo building.
Others saw that there was nothing to see the excitement, they just felt sorry for what they were accustomed to, but Ling Chong was different from them, as a person who cultivated the true Dao in the Xuanling Period, Ling Chong could feel that it was not because of the incompetence of those who went up to try it just now, but that there was a hidden force behind them that forcibly separated them from the sword and the scabbard, and then was shocked out.
"Hee hee ......" at this time from the inner room of the bamboo building casually walked out of a girl, only to see that this girl is about sixteen or seventeen years old and Ling Chong is almost the same age, a pink dress to tie up her graceful figure, the most eye-catching is the long hair like a waterfall, I saw that the long hair on the head of the simple comb of a few buns and pigtails, the rest poured down, straight down to the waist a few points.
A pretty face with beautiful facial features, under the pink skin, looks extraordinarily beautiful, she is really a peerless beauty, but there is an unstoppable disdain in her eyes, which makes people feel her indifference and unlovely.
"You useless things, big fools, don't get out of the way of Miss Ben!" said the girl, pointing to the people who were lying all over the ground, and then the men got up and ran down the bamboo building in disgrace, and ran away without looking back in shame.
"Who else of you want to try!" said the veiled woman after a secret glance at the pink-clad girl.
When the words fell, there was a commotion below the bamboo building, there were many unconvinced people, as well as those who coveted beauty, and there were still snobbers who coveted the Phantom Studios.
The woman in pink grinned and retreated behind the people, and at this time, those who came up began to take the Ziyun Sword one by one and insert it into the scabbard, and the result was the same as the previous group of people, and they were bounced away by an inexplicable force before they could touch the scabbard.
Ling Chong also saw it clearly at this time, it was the girl in pink who secretly used spiritual power to separate the sword from the scabbard when others were not paying attention, and those people were also shocked away by this spiritual power, but these mortals really didn't know that it would be this organizer who was demolishing their platform.
Ling Chong felt inexplicable when he saw this, since it was this eldest lady who wanted to recruit relatives like this, why did she block such a form of recruiting relatives by herself, although Ling Chong couldn't figure it out for a while, but the girl on the bamboo floor once again mocked those who fell to the ground.
Seeing that Ling Chong really couldn't stand it anymore, after those people exited the bamboo building, he flew directly onto the second floor of the bamboo building, and stopped under the surprise of the veiled woman and the woman in pink.
"Hello two girls!" Ling Chong said with a salute.
"What's good, who asked you to come up?" Looking at the person's bearing, the woman in pink knew that the man in front of her was not an ordinary mortal pawn, and said to Ling Chong with some anger and arrogance at the moment.
Ling Chong was not angry, but replied with a slight smile: "This eldest lady, isn't it possible for anyone to come up and give it a try, so why can't I come?" Ling Chong said with a smug face.
"yes, why not......" The crowd below followed a commotion.
"Hmph, Miss Ben said no, no, what do you want?" the girl in pink said angrily, pointing to the crowd below.
"Unreasonable, unreasonable...... "The people downstairs shouted angrily again.
Seeing this, the veiled woman walked to the pink-clothed woman's side, and just whispered to her and said something to her, and then the pink-clothed woman stopped saying to the following, turned to Ling Chong and said disdainfully: "You want to try, you can!" After speaking, the pink-clothed woman retreated to the side.
Ling Chong whispered to the pink-clothed woman at this time: "Miss, I don't have that interest in Xia, I just came up to tell you, even if you don't look down on others, or don't want to get married, don't play tricks on others like this, you understand what I said!
"You ......" The woman in pink was furious for no reason, pointing at Ling Chong who couldn't say a word.
"This little brother, what do you mean by this, are you teasing our young lady?" The veiled woman also walked over to Ling Chong and asked at this time.
"Oh, I think the two of you have misunderstood, I don't mean to do so, I have already explained the reason, if you want to say that the joke is more appropriate to use on yourself......" Ling Chong said with a meaningful smile at the moment.
"Okay, you sharp-toothed poor bastard, you dare to teach Miss Ben a lesson!" the woman in pink was furious, and shouted at Ling Chong.
Ling Chong had only heard that he had been called a waste, and it was the first time he had heard someone call him a poor egg, so he looked at himself, thinking that he couldn't complain about others, he stayed on a desert island for half a year, and he only had a set of clothes for such a long time, and he had been transformed and sewn by himself, and with the shabby iron sword in his hand, it was strange not to be called a poor egg!
Ling Chong looked at his ragged self and smiled inexplicably, but Ling Chong still didn't take these things seriously, he just wanted not to dwell on these boring trivial matters at the moment and said: "This eldest lady, my poverty is my own business, I don't need to be reminded by others, I will not accompany you if I have something to do, goodbye!"
"You dare to ......!" the veiled woman said with the horizontal sword on Ling Chong's chest, "What do you think this place is, is that where you say you will come and go, you have left so much, how do you want our young lady to end?"
"Hmph, hmph!" Ling Chong clearly saw the woman in pink at this moment, and at this time he was full of disdainful ridicule behind him.
Ling Chong looked at these two people, but at this time, he didn't want to use force with others, he didn't want to expose his cultivation, not to mention that the opponents were two women, Ling Chong didn't have any intention of entanglement, just said calmly: "Hey, you two don't go too far!"
"It's too much, Miss Ben is willing, what can you do with me?" The woman in pink smiled disdainfully at Ling Chong, who was not on the left and right, and her whole body was still trembling.
"Isn't it just a sword, what's so boring!" Ling Chong said helplessly as he pulled out the purple long sword, and plunged it into the scabbard as he spoke, "Thorn!" The purple long sword was like finding its destined master, obediently returning to its own scabbard, without a trace of effort, Ling Chong seemed to have done something ordinary.
Ling Chong was also surprised at this time, when he was offstage, he clearly felt that there was a spiritual power resisting people from returning this Ziyun sword to the sheath, I didn't think that this time he actually didn't feel the resistance of that spiritual power, it was as simple as putting his own sword back into the scabbard.
"Wow......!" At this time, there was a commotion under the bamboo building, this kind of family selection activity is not just once, they have seen that Ziyun, almost no one can do such a thing, I don't want Ling Chong to do it like a game today.
"W-This can't be?" and at the same time, of course, the woman in pink and the woman in the veil.
The woman in pink picked up the Ziyun Sword, held it in her hand and was speechless with excitement, and under the shame, the woman in pink clenched her fist and hammered Ling Chong on the shoulder, and then ran away with the Ziyun Sword.
At this time, there was a commotion in the audience, and Ling Chong was about to leave when he saw this, but he was blocked by the veiled woman at this time, but at this time, the veiled woman changed her attitude and said calmly: "This young man, you can't just leave, no matter what, you have to give an explanation to the Phantom City Lord!"
Ling Chong knew that it would be difficult to leave like this, because of the prestige of the Phantom City Lord, plus that he had drunk a cup of tea in vain because of his reputation, and besides, this Phantom City Lord was a good person who could be imagined, and he also wanted to ask to see and explain the situation on this matter, so it was not appropriate to leave like this.
Thinking of this, Ling Chong said to the veiled woman: "Okay, I'll go with you to meet the city lord!" After speaking, the veiled woman nodded slightly, and then asked the entourage on both sides to evacuate the crowd, and walked towards the Phantom Mansion with Ling Chong herself.
Phantom City, Phantom Mansion is a very luxurious courtyard here, the door "Phantom Mansion" several gilded large plaques are placed horizontally, there are soldiers standing guard on both sides of the huge and spacious wooden door, and there are two very large stone lions in front of the soldiers.
Ling Chong walked towards the gate of the courtyard with this towering step, and couldn't help but think of the Xuantian Gate, and a wave of sadness hit him, making Ling Chong feel depressed! As the veiled woman walked forward, Ling Chong kept looking around on the winding corridor, there were many rockeries and artificial lakes here, and the lotus flowers on the lake had just risen green......!
