Silence, deathly silence.
Even the wild dogs that would start screaming at the slightest sign of trouble on the roadside were silent at this time, only occasionally letting out a few inaudible whimpers.
Yin Xiu's footsteps did not hesitate at all, and soon he ducked through several alleys and corners. Finally, in his sight, the white sharp corners of Sophia Cathedral were vaguely visible.
"Stop! Follow the red light! Anyone who breaks into the circle without permission, is disrespectful, disrespectful, and harms the law will be killed without mercy!"
A shrill female voice sounded, and then red paper lanterns lit up, floating out from under the eaves, rooftops and street corners, like red eyes.
Under the illumination of these lights, a group of women were wearing white clothes, white trousers, embroidered shoes, red ribbons on their heads and waists, and holding lanterns in their hands. They ranged from eight-year-old dolls to women of about forty, with different ages and appearances. Each is different.
The one standing at the front is the doll that just made a sound, and it probably only reaches Yin Xiu’s waist.
In addition to the red silk cloth, there is a silver crown on her head, with a bead curtain hanging down, which looks quite cute.
The little girl stared at Yin Xiu and said loudly: "Did you know that this is a red light array, and those who trespass will be subject to military law!"
Yin Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the rumors in the world: red lotus, white lotus root and green lotus leaf.
Originally this sentence was used to describe the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, because the next sentence is: The three religions were originally one family.
But in recent years, it has become like a slang on the road, Guankou.
The white lotus root refers to the White Lotus Sect, the green lotus leaves refer to the Green Gang, and the red lotus refers to the Red Flower Society, but it is generally believed that it should actually be the Red Light.
Hong Leng Zhao is a boxing club formed by women. It is independent from all male groups and is quite mysterious.
Seeing that Yin Xiu didn't speak, the little girl became even more angry: "Bold, I am the Holy Mother Huanglian, how dare you disrespect me!?"
As she said this, she raised her hand, and a red ribbon shot out from her sleeve and went straight to Yin Xiu's face.
The ribbon was flying in the air, and when it arrived in front of Yin Xiu, it had turned into a poisonous snake with its bloody mouth wide open, spitting out scarlet letters at him.
Yin Xiu's pupils were slightly opened, and he stretched his hands forward to grab, grabbing the snake's head with one hand and the tail with the other. The dragon and tiger energy penetrated his hand, and the snake immediately made a clicking sound and turned into a red ribbon, which he caught. in hand.
"Good skills!"
"Nice trick."
Yin Xiu threw the red silk cloth casually, and the light and weightless object shot straight over, like an arrow, returning to the front of Our Lady of Huanglian.
Beside her, a woman stretched out her hand, grabbed the silk cloth in her hand, and stared at Yin Xiu.
"Are you a lackey of the imperial court?"
"I've never been a dog, and I don't even like to eat dog meat."
"Then what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
"I'm just passing by, you're blocking my way." Yin Xiu said calmly.
"I have already said, this is a red light array, no one is allowed to break in!" Our Lady of Huanglian shouted.
"No need to discuss?" Yin Xiu tilted her neck.
"No!" She said resolutely, "You have to be strong enough to get through here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the red light illuminated everyone and showed off their weapons, which were so bright that their faces became even whiter.
"Although I don't hit women, I have something I must do. Before I finish it, no matter who stops me, I have to tell him to get out of the way."
A cold light flashed in Yin Xiu's eyes, and she slowly raised her hand and bowed it to everyone.
"So, sisters, aunts, children, sisters-in-law and aunts, I am offended!"
Bang!
Like a cannonball passing through the air, one second Yin Xiu was still standing here, and the next second he brought up a string of afterimages and directly attacked the Holy Mother Huanglian.
"Bold! How dare you disrespect Our Lady of Huanglian!"
The two women on the left and right of Madonna Huang Lian were the first to react. They quickly stepped forward and stabbed Yin Xiu's chest with the steel knife in their hands.
Breaking Wind Claw!
Yin Xiu's hands were full of purple energy, and she gently pressed them against the two knives. With a slip and a twist, the two blades instantly spun away from their hands and were twisted into twists.
The two men couldn't help but be shocked when the steel knife was released from their hands, but they did not slow down and immediately used Wing Chun techniques, trying to hold Yin Xiu to the left and right.
Soon after, Yin Xiu also stretched out his hands, raised his thumbs and scratched and wiped the two people's necks. The two women immediately fell limp and lay on the ground with their eyes wide open. Unwilling to do so.
When the other women saw this, they couldn't help but frown.
The two people who fought against Yin Xiu just now are actually the guardians of the Holy Mother Huanglian. They are called Senior Sister and Second Senior Sister in the red light photos. Many sisters also rely on their teaching of martial arts.
But even these two women who should not be underestimated in the world were hit by Yin Xiu in just one round and fell to the ground.
This was because the other party was unwilling to kill, so they would not die on the spot.
Even so, no one retreated, and they threw the red lights at Yin Xiu.
For a moment, dots of red lanterns hit Yin Xiu like a rainstorm, and a gust of hot wind blew in her face.
True Yang Life Fire!
Yin Xiu was not intimidated by the lantern array, but instead accelerated her steps. When dodging the lanterns coming one after another, she grabbed back with both hands, grabbed one of the lanterns, and threw it at them.
Several women immediately stepped back to avoid the flames.
And Yin Xiu continued to move forward, knocking the weapons out of the hands of several women, and before everyone had time to react, she arrived in front of the Holy Mother Huanglian.
The little girl, who was about eight years old, showed no fear on her face. She touched her waist with her hands, and when she took action, two black scorpions with red tails flew towards Yin Xiu.
"What a femme fatale!"
Yin Xiu moved his fingers to the left and right, and the two scorpions immediately shattered into powder, scattering two puffs of red smoke in the air.
As Yin Xiu appeared in front of her eyes in the blink of an eye, this time, Madonna Huanglian finally showed a trace of panic on her face. She touched her hand behind her waist and caught a silver dagger inlaid with green emerald gems in her hand, stabbing Yin Xiu. show.
Yin Xiu stretched out his hand and lightly touched the knife. The dagger immediately fell off the hand of Madonna Huanglian, and he caught it and put it into his pocket.
Madonna Huang Lian was shocked and sat down on the ground. When she turned her head to look, Yin Xiu had already run away after a few ups and downs.
"Give it back!" she shouted.
When Yin Xiu heard this, she kept walking, turned around, and shook the dagger at her as if showing off, "Children are not good at playing with knives. Uncle will keep it safe for you first."
"What's your name!?"
"Maoshan, Yinxiu!"
Looking at his retreating figure, Our Lady of Huanglian finally couldn't hold back her tears and shouted in a crying voice: "Yin Xiu, when I grow up! I will definitely kill you with my own hands!!"
……
Sophia Cathedral, which was originally a Buddhist temple, was very popular.
Later, a wealthy businessman wanted to turn this place into a brothel, so he bribed the government, started a lawsuit, and roped in a ghost guy, thinking that he would take over the place naturally.
Unexpectedly, the foreigner plotted against him and tampered with the land deed. The government would never dare to argue with a foreigner, so the wealthy businessman painstakingly made wedding clothes for him.
Since then, there have been constant disputes over this land. It was not until a foreign priest came here and built a church here that things calmed down.
After all, Maria looks like Mazu to foreign devils. Who in southern Fujian would go against Mazu?
Therefore, this place is also regarded as the Queen's Palace of foreign devils, and no one wants to take it seriously.
When Yin Xiu came to the church door, the doors and windows were closed.
The heavy wooden door, the stained glass windows, and the cross on the top all looked very unusual in this dark night.
Without thinking about whether there might be any trap, Yin Xiu reached out and pushed the door open.
As soon as he opened the door, a woman ran into his arms.
Feel the warmth and softness, as well as the faint fragrance. Yin Xiu patted the woman's smooth back and said, "Miss, have you drunk too much?"
The next moment, the woman seemed to have really drunk too much, and spat out the warm liquid all over Yin Xiu's body.
Yin Xiu suddenly frowned and began to regret that he shouldn't have taken this photo, and he shouldn't have asked her.
Because according to convention, this is generally done, and if you ask like this, there is a high probability that someone will spit on you.
After the other party vomited twice, his whole body gradually softened.
Yin Xiu reached out to help him, but found that the other person's body had gradually become stiff and a little stiff.
"Why, you can't bear to let go?"
Hearing Ma Xiaoyu's familiar voice, Yin Xiu immediately let go, and the woman in his arms fell to the ground, revealing a pale face and scarlet eyes.
Yin Xiu raised her head and smiled at Ma Xiaoyu: "I'm helping you stop this female vampire."
"No need."
Ma Xiaoyu took a piece of cloth and wiped it on the ruler in his hand. The piece of cloth was immediately dyed red.
She threw the cloth on the ground, "Two men and one woman, one is a viscount, one is a baron, and the other is a bastard. They are all solved."
Yin Xiu immediately leaned forward and circled around Ma Xiaoyu, while asking with concern: "Are you not injured?"
Ma Xiaoyu turned her head and glared: "Who do you think I am? Can these people hurt me? And I think there is something wrong with where you are looking."
"You have no eyes behind your back, how do you know where I am looking?"
"Feeling!"
Ma Xiaoyu looked at him and no longer cared about it. He just smiled and asked: "You are here in such a hurry, and you are not afraid of being ambushed. Why, are you rushing to be a hero to save the beauty?"
"It is indeed a hero saving a beauty, and it is a very urgent one."
Seeing Yin Xiu's serious look, Ma Xiaoyu stopped joking with him and just asked: "Should we talk now, or should we talk while walking on the road?"
"Say on board!"
Yin Xiu immediately turned around and stretched out his hands back.
When Ma Xiaoyu saw this, she knew that this was an urgent situation. She immediately blushed, jumped on the ground, put a light hand on Yin Xiu's shoulder, and was carried on Yin Xiu's back.
Feeling the warmth and fullness coming from her back, Yin Xiu couldn't help but grin, "Hold on, I'll run faster later."
"Don't worry."
Ma Xiaoyu opened her mouth and blew out a breath of hot breath in his ear, "Just run. If there is anyone on the road, I will deal with it."
As she spoke, she subconsciously pinched her legs, causing Yin Xiu to tremble for a moment as well.
"Why are you shaking?" Ma Xiaoyu asked doubtfully.
"A bit cold."
"Then I'll get closer."
"Okay!"
He let go and rushed out of the church door.
At the same time, further east, a ball of fire shot into the sky, lighting up the night.
Ma Xiaoyu's eyes reflected the terrible fire, and she finally understood why Yin Xiu was in such a hurry.
A big turmoil started with the appearance of this fireball.
First there were a few sporadic gunshots, followed by a rapid succession of trumpets and gongs.
Rapid gunshots began to ring out everywhere, interspersed with faint human voices.
Yin Xiu carried Ma Xiaoyu on her back and ran quickly on the roof. At this time, some residents who had slept lightly came out of the house and looked around curiously.
He seemed to be looking for the direction of the sound.
They all thought that the sound at this time was the sound of firecrackers, and that it might be some god's honor guard returning to the palace or going on patrol, but they were not notified.
Some people also think that this is the ghost guys living in the east setting off firecrackers to celebrate the New Year of the foreign ghosts.
Just as they were discussing and making various guesses, the sound of rolling thunder shook them to the ground, causing the ash on the roof to fall straight down.
One sound, followed by a second sound, and someone finally reacted and found out the truth from the fear engraved in their bones.
"Set off the cannons! The White Lotus Sect is coming!"
"There's a war! The foreign musketeers are coming!"
"Japanese pirates, Japanese pirates have entered the city!"
They shouted everything until a shell hit the block and instantly reduced a tile-roofed house to rubble.
At this time, everyone's sleepiness disappeared.
Some people ran into the house and closed the door tightly.
Some people, on the contrary, held their children in their arms, packed their belongings on the other side, and ran out like crazy.
The street became a boiling fish pond, and no one knew what to do. They only knew that if they sat still and did nothing, they would surely die.
Ma Xiaoyu's ears were filled with the sound of wind, the sound of guns, and the people's screams and questions. Then she looked up at the fiery red stars in the sky, and she finally came to her senses.
"A war?"
"Yes, the White Lotus Sect is attacking Wenling!"
Yin Xiu didn't look back and continued to rush to the dock.
The fire in that place was the strongest at this time, the gunshots shooting into the sky, and the loud thunders all surrounded that place and became more and more intense.
"Yin Xiu."
"Huh?"
Ma Xiaoyu was a little confused. She really couldn't believe why the originally peaceful town was covered by war overnight.
"Yin Xiu, what should we do?"
"What to do?"
Yin Xiu swallowed her throat a few times, turned her head and looked at Ma Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, do you believe me?"
"I always believe in you." Ma Xiaoyu said seriously.
"Okay, if you believe me."
Yin Xiu bit her lip, "Then we will do nothing."
"Do nothing?"
Ma Xiaoyu opened her eyes wide. She really didn't expect that one day she would hear such words from Yin Xiu's mouth.
If we don't do anything, isn't it just letting the war run rampant and watching the war expand?
If they do nothing, what will happen to the people in this city?
Ma Xiaoyu turned her eyes and suddenly saw the street crowded with people, including their families and their families, making the street crowded.
On the other side, there are officers and soldiers who are well equipped and rushing forward.
At this time, looking at Yin Xiu's silent back, she realized that right now, they could only do nothing. (End of chapter)
