Chapter 1 Lingnan, Tang Mansion

Since the Five Barbarians invaded China and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, prefectures and counties have been divided. Although the Sui Dynasty unified the world, its prosperity has not lasted for a long time and it has died in the second lifetime.

Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty Li Shimin ascended to the top and used the convenience of the mountain to divide the world into ten paths, namely Guannei, Henan, Hedong, Hebei, Shannan, Longyou, Huainan, Jiangnan, Jiannan and Lingnan.

Lingnan is south of the Five Ridges. In ancient times, it was the land of Baiyue and was also called the "barbarian land" by people in the Central Plains. Since the Qin Dynasty unified the world, although the Han people have experienced many migrations to the south, due to the dangerous five Ridges, the connection between Lingnan and the Central Plains was hindered. Both customs and culture are very different from that of the Central Plains, and there are very few economic exchanges.

After the Five Barbarians invaded China, the Central Plains were deeply influenced by the Hu people. In addition, the Li Tang royal family itself brought the Hu people's bloodline, and the atmosphere changed drastically. On the contrary, it was a corner of Lingnan. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, many gentry fled south were accepted. Many dynasties were exiled by miserable prisoners and officials, and instead retained some of the legacy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

The Tang family is located in Baixiangqu, Heyuan County, Haifeng County, Xunzhou, Lingnan. Although they were from Han people, their families moved here in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. They were originally a scholarly family. They had several hectares of fertile land left by their ancestors. Although they were not very rich, they could live as much as possible.

On this day, after finishing the morning class, Tang Xiaoshan sent out the sisters who came to talk to her about literature. Just as he was about to return to the yard, he saw two carriages coming from the street, one of which was filled with many strange things, all of which were unprecedented in the Heavenly Kingdom. There were pearls as big as stones, colorful corals, surprisingly large snuffs, and strange-shaped hairpins.

Tang Xiaoshan thought to himself that these pearls and corals must be fake. Who would take out such things and show treasures on the street? Besides, I have never seen such a big pearl before. If these people were not here to take advantage of the opportunity, they would have come from the Central Plains and pretended to be profiteers.

Two carriages stopped, one of them was lifted up, and stepped on a surprisingly beautiful woman, with her gentle and elegant steps, with her bare teeth and starry eyes, which was as easy as painting. Tang Xiaoshan praised secretly, thinking that there was such a beautiful woman in the world. Such a woman would never be a profiteer. Could it be that a lady from a noble family who moved here? But it would be too rash to reveal her treasures so much.

The beautiful woman was following two girls, and she looked good, but she was much worse than her.

Tang Xiaoshan was about to see where the woman was going, but she moved over and leaned over and said, "Can this be Sister Xiaoshan?"

Tang Xiaoshan was secretly surprised, and thought that no matter how you look at your age, you are much older than me, how can you call me sister? At this time, the neighbors next door gathered here very freshly, wanting to know who this beauty is from the Tang Mansion.

Tang Xiaoshan replied, "My sister is Tang Xiaoshan, this sister is..."

The woman said, "My surname is Xu, and she is the wife of Lingdi Xiaofeng."

Tang Xiaoshan was dead there, and the neighbors were also talking, thinking that the young master of the Tang family had been running away from home for almost three years. I don’t know if he died somewhere, but why suddenly a beautiful wife appeared?

At this moment, another girl stepped out of the Tang Mansion and saw the two girls behind the beautiful woman. She was surprised and happy: "Hengxiang, Zhixin?" The two girls also shouted at the same time: "Sister Hongqiu..."

Of course, Luo Hongqi, who had already arrived in Lingnan, stood behind the beautiful woman Xue Hengxiang and Yao Zhixin. Luo Hongqi was happy for her when she saw that Xue Hengxiang's legs had recovered. She looked at the beautiful women who were competing for beauty with Lian Jinfeng. Although she couldn't recognize them, she felt familiar. After a while, she opened her eyes wide: "Sister Lirong?"

Inside the Tang Mansion, Tang Ao and his wife Lin met Xu Lirong and other three girls.

He was surprised to learn that Xu Lirong was the daughter of his brother Xu Jingye who was wandering overseas, but when he saw Xu Lirong bowing down and calling himself a daughter-in-law, he was also stunned.

Seeing that there were not only Tang Ao, Lin, Tang Xiaoshan, and a girl standing beside Lin, with a very embarrassed expression in her mansion, Xu Lirong asked earnestly: "What do you call this girl?"

The woman was beautiful and thin, with beautiful hair like a waterfall. She lowered her head and blessed her blessing, and whispered: "My little sister's surname is Song and her name is Liangzhen."

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to be a little wrong, Xue Hengxiang quietly asked Luo Hongqi what was going on? Luo Hongqi secretly told her, and she immediately opened her eyes wide and thought: "How could this be like this?"

They looked at Tang Xiaoshan quietly and saw that Tang Xiaoshan had similar appearance to Tang Xiaofeng. They just stopped the carriage and wanted to find someone to ask where the Tang Mansion in Qing Dynasty, but when they saw Tang Xiaoshan, they guessed that she was Tang Xiaofeng's sister, so they came forward to ask.

Xue Hengxiang thought, "Brother said that day that he had been secretly in love with his sister. It was because he knew that this love was unethical that he ran away from home. Now he has Sister Zixiao and Jinfeng, and Sister Lirong. I thought he had already let go of his unrequited love when he was young, but now he has run away without a trace. Could it be that he still loves his sister bitterly in his heart, and he is timid in his family, so he can escape?"

Tang Ao said: "Why did you not see Xiaofeng when you got here? Where did the stranger go?"

Xu Lirong said angrily: "Only one of the geniuses know!"

Everyone: "..."

Xu Lirong found that she was not a lady, so she coughed lightly and bowed: "The daughter-in-law is not clear either, and the daughter-in-law is incompetent in teaching her husband. Please forgive me."

Everyone: "..."

When Xu Lirong and Xue and Yao went to Baixiangqu, Tang Xiaofeng came to Ping'an Village.

At this time, Ping'an Village had already become a ruin. When he and Yan Zixiao went to Pengling to kill tigers, they caused many tiger demons to be displaced. The floating people first came to Ping'an Village, killed all the people in the village, and set fire to burn them. Since then, the people of Qingyuan County have regarded this place as a ghost village, and no one dared to move here again.

He came to Yan Zixiao's grandmother's grave and wanted to put some fragrance and remove weeds. This was something Yan Zixiao had specially told him before he left. Although her grandmother was old, if he hadn't caused a tiger demon with Yan Zixiao, the old man might have lived for a few more years. The reason why Yan Zixiao and Tang Xiaofeng left Lingnan was mainly because they were worried that the monsters in Weiyu Mountain had found out who had killed the displaced, which implicated their family and avoided revenge. As a result, they stayed in the East China Sea for more than two years, and even had not come back to sweep the tomb.

This time Tang Xiaofeng came back first, so she naturally did not forget to give in.

Tang Xiaofeng thought that he had not swept the tomb for more than two years, and that the tomb of Sister Zixiao's grandmother must have been overgrown with weeds. Unexpectedly, the place was cleaned up and even the tombstones were replaced. There were still a few pieces of ignition of fragrance in front of the tomb. The ash fell on the ground, one by one, and never been blown away by the wind and rain. It was obvious that it had just been ignited not long ago.

He was secretly surprised and wondered if Yan Ya had been back?

Yan Ya is Yan Zixiao's brother. He also ran away from home and said he wanted to pass the Wu Ju exam before he went home, but he did not return. Tang Xiaofeng thought that there would probably be no one else to visit the tombs except Yan Ya. When he thought about this, the surrounding demonic wind suddenly rose, and three black shadows rushed out and surrounded him.

There were three monsters surrounding him, one of which was full of golden and lion-headed and human-body roared at him: "Bitch, finally let me catch... Who are you?"

Tang Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Who are you?"

The lion demon looked at him in surprise, and saw him carrying the fragrant paper money, and immediately shouted: "It must be that bitch who asked him to come to visit her grave. You can take him down and ask him whereabouts."

The other two monsters rushed straight away, and Tang Xiaofeng shouted "monster", turned around and ran away.

The two demons chased after him, and suddenly they chased to the bottom of the slope. The lion demon laughed wildly and rushed over. He thought that the two companions must have captured the boy, but when he saw that the two demons were dead on the ground, a voice sounded behind it: "Who are you talking about?"

The lion demon was startled and wanted to turn around. A sword energy came straight, forcing it to not dare to move. Tang Xiaofeng said coldly behind it: "Answer me!"

The lion demon didn't expect that such an inconspicuous boy would be a swordsman. He swallowed his saliva and was about to speak. The sword light flashed and came out of his chest. The lion demon opened his eyes wide and fell to the ground. However, Tang Xiaofeng swept open, swept into the nearby reed grass, and hid it.

Several monsters flew over from afar, one of them said in surprise: "The old evil was killed."

Another monster said: "They only have a sword hole on them, and they were all killed by someone with a sword. The one who killed them must be the girl named Yan."

An ugly and short monster sneered: "I have reminded Lao Nie to keep that bitch and must inform everyone quietly, not to act on his own. But he thought he was very capable and wanted to compete for merit. He didn't want to deal with that bitch named Yan, if he could really deal with that bitch, how could he have such a headache for even the Eighth Master?"

Another demon said: "That bitch must have escaped, let's repay the eighth master."

They took the corpses of the three demons and flew away.

Tang Xiaofeng thought to himself: "Will the 'bitter named Yan' they said was Sister Zixiao? If it was not Sister Zixiao, they were guarding the grave of Sister Zixiao's grandmother, and the person waiting for the surname Yan, that would be too coincidental. If it was Sister Zixiao, how could they know that Sister Zixiao happened to let me visit her tomb for her today and stay here in advance? Or, the monsters in Weiyu Mountain have long discovered that Sister Zixiao was the murderer who killed many displaced, but they were troubled by not being able to find her, so they have been sending people to stay here for the past two years? But this seems a bit unreasonable."

No matter what he thought, he couldn't understand.

Forget it, go home first...
