A Tale of Encounters with Immortals: A Peach Blossom Temple in the Martial World

A strange thing suddenly happened in Linbin Town.

Although there are many strange things happening in Linbin Town, it is, after all, the location of Peach Blossom Temple, and the strange things are all caused by the people of Peach Blossom Temple.

For example, a phoenix soaring through the sky, a golden dragon with double scissors, or chanting prayers...

But today's commotion is a bit big.

In the middle of summer, just past noon, the clouds in the sky suddenly disappeared. Then the weather began to change.

First, there was no wind at all.

The sunlight was intense, but the temperature wasn't very hot; it had a warm, wintery feel to it.

But it's the middle of summer, and on sunny days, everyone in Linbin Town is wearing light jackets. Even the aunties who love washing clothes by the river, who used to expose their arms and legs, are now wearing long pants with the cuffs tied in knots to close their ankles.

Senior Brother Qingyangzi also had some experience in deduction, and he had no problems with his deductions after several attempts.

Everyone in the Taoist temple went to the large open space and looked up at the sky together.

Qingyangzi said to Qingxuzi, "The second-generation disciples should all be dismissed and return to their respective residences. Do not go out unless necessary."

Qingxuzi nodded, accepted the order, and left.

"Elder Shouzhongzi!"

"Here!" Sword God Qin Shouzhong stepped forward and bowed.

"You, Tianfu, and Hai Tianfu will go to Linbin Town to guard it. Together with the Four Heroes of Kunshan, if anyone takes advantage of the chaos to commit crimes, arrest them immediately and hand them over to the authorities for trial. Maintain the order of Linbin Town."

"Leader!"

Hai Tianfu and Qin Shouzhong immediately set off and flew away.

"Xiaoyaozi, Qingxuanzi, Qingweizi, Jinghua Tongzi, when the heavenly tribulation truly descends, let us use our magic weapons together to form a magic array and protect Peach Blossom Mountain and Peach Blossom Temple. If we have any strength left, let's also protect the people of Linbin Town."

Everyone accepted the order in unison.

Seventh Princess:......

No, what about me?

What am I supposed to do? I'm everyone's beloved junior sister, for goodness' sake! Why didn't you let me out at this crucial moment? Isn't this blatant discrimination?

"I'll join the formation as well."

Qingyangzi glanced at her: "No, you go to the inner palace with the concubines. Remember, their safety is in your hands. And... Little Mouse will go with you."

Seventh Princess: "The little mouse has been missing for the past few days. How am I supposed to find her?"

Qingyangzi ignored her. There was no need to waste words at a time like this. Although she was the seventh princess of the royal family, here she was just an innocent junior sister.

Hu Yunying looked at the sky from her bedroom.

"I wonder if that brat made any arrangements."

After all, he had served as an elder in the Lingying Sect of Mount Emei, and he remained calm in the face of major events. Leaders of major sects all know that when faced with important matters, they must have someone who can assign tasks in an orderly manner.

Just then, the Seventh Princess came skipping and hopping over.

What are you doing here? Not on some official mission?

Seventh Princess: "My job is to protect you, isn't it?"

Hu Yunying understood. The child had sent the Seventh Princess here so that she could protect her, not so that the princess could protect her.

To be honest, Hu Yunying had the highest level of cultivation in the Taoist temple.

How could we leave her out at this time?

"Go find Guo Lanying to play with, I'll go help them."

As she spoke, Hu Yunying walked towards the square, shouting loudly from afar, "Qingyangzi, do you not believe me? In Peach Blossom Temple, who is stronger than me?"

Upon seeing her, Qingyangzi immediately cupped his hands and smiled, "Greetings, Auntie."

"Give me a job!"

"Protect the Seventh Princess."

"I'm referring to the major event in the temple, the matter of resisting the heavenly tribulation."

“Alright then, if there really is a heavenly tribulation, Auntie will be the first to go!” Qingyangzi said sincerely.

Hu Yunying:...

This is what they call "asking for it and getting it," so you can't really say anything. Since you asked for this, you're entrusted with this important task. No complaints now!

Hu Yunying felt something was amiss, but she didn't think much of it. With a formidable enemy at hand, working together was the right thing to do.

The sky was still changing.

The sunlight gradually dimmed.

Not only were the people at Peach Blossom Temple looking up at the sky, but everyone in Linbin Town was looking up at the sky. The strange weather phenomenon was causing widespread anxiety and unease.

As the weather continued to turn gloomy, some people couldn't bear the pressure and started heading home.

It seems safer to stay at home.

In a courtyard in Linbin Town, the Imperial Preceptor Ge Huayang burned incense, wore a Taoist robe, and chanted scriptures, conducting a simple prayer ceremony.

In urgent situations, it's best to keep things simple; there's no time to go through anything too complicated.

The sky is still changing.

The white clouds dispersed, the sunlight faded, and the once bright and clear sky suddenly darkened. It was noon, yet it suddenly felt like night.

The stars shift and the moon hangs high in the sky.

Is it daytime? Or nighttime?

Everyone was on edge.

In recent years, Linbin Town has been thriving. The people of Linbin Town have higher incomes and better lives. Even the old man who took over the task of collecting night soil only a few years ago can now listen to songs from time to time.

Just when the people of Linbin Town felt that their happy lives were better than those of city dwellers, this horrifying phenomenon suddenly appeared.

Does God think the people of Linbin Town don't deserve such a good life?

why!

"boom blah blah"

……

A rapid gong-banging sound came from one end of the town. When everyone looked over, they saw Widow Tian, ​​dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, with a red gauze draped over her shoulders and a pair of underpants on her head. Her face was covered in white powder. She was banging the gong and shouting in a shrill voice, "Oh ho, oh ho, demons and monsters, get out of my way! I, the Great Thunder Goddess, have descended to earth to capture you demons and monsters! Oh ho—"

It seems some people feel that this might work.

It's always good to give it a try.

More women came out, mostly middle-aged women. Some were banging gongs, some were beating drums, and some were waving their underpants in the wind.

According to folklore, using the unclean matter from a woman's menstrual period can effectively drive away evil spirits.

So, in full view of the people of Linbin Town, a group of women banged drums and gongs, waved their underpants, and paraded through the streets and alleys, making a show of themselves all the way.

The fourth of the Four Heroes of Kunshan, who was on duty, watched the group of old women rush past with a puzzled look. He looked at his eldest brother, scratching the back of his head in confusion.

"Brother, does this...do it work?"

The leader spat, "What kind of effect is that? Look—"

When everyone looked up, sure enough, a layer of clouds suddenly swept slowly and overwhelmingly towards the sky above Linbin Town and Peach Blossom Mountain in the night.

This time it truly blotted out the sky and the moon.

The widow and the women were almost driven mad by the banging; their hair was disheveled, they were drenched in sweat, and their voices were nearly hoarse, but they were still desperately banging the gongs and drums and shouting sirens to drive away evil spirits.

The panties in their hands were like their battle flags.

"Even Widow Tian is reluctant to give up her good life now!" a resident of Linbin Town exclaimed.

The other man nodded.

"Isn't that right? Because Linbin Town has become richer, its territory has expanded, and more people are coming. Her business seems to have improved a lot. She's been raising prices every year for the past few years, and she's even started to be selective about her customers..."

"Wow--"

A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, as if tearing the heavens apart, as it weaved through the clouds.

Everyone was startled by the sound.

Several people scrambled and stumbled their way home.

Those who had stayed on the street to watch the spectacle were all brave people, but now they couldn't take it anymore; the oppressive force from above was truly terrifying.

At this moment, the river water also began to gurgle.

"Boss, it's the sound of the river!"

The third brother shouted at the eldest brother.

The eldest brother angrily retorted, "Why are you calling me? Do you think I'd drink the river water?"

He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, ready to strike with all his might when the fairy appeared in the clouds, regardless of whether it could injure her or not. He wanted to strike first.

This is the wise saying that enabled them to survive when they were wandering the world.

Unless you really can't beat him.

As the lightning streaked across the sky, a huge hole suddenly appeared.

This huge hole tore apart the clouds and the sky, revealing a star-studded sky through the torn clouds, and a massive, dark, colossal object in the torn sky.

Fall from the sky.

"Get ready!" the leader shouted sternly, drawing his sword with a "whoosh." "Everyone, get back!"

"Prepare to kill the enemy!" the second, third, and fourth brothers shouted in unison, drawing their swords and staring intently at the enormous, dark object descending from the sky.

Getting closer!

getting bigger!

Even the town of Linbin seemed to be completely crushed by this dark, indistinct thing. The entire town appeared incredibly small, like a tiny insect under a giant hand.

The Imperial Advisor raised his longsword, trembling as he chanted the final incantation, and desperately cried out to the sky: "Hurry, hurry, as the law commands! By order—"

At the same time, in the Peach Blossom Temple square, the senior disciple led everyone, each holding a magical weapon, ready to unleash their power the moment the attack crashed down.
