"What a spectacular place!"

A smile appeared on Chinatsu Sunset's face, and after leaving Hanchuan, the situation on her body was contained, and there had been no new killing attempts for several days.

This made Roger feel a little strange, but he checked it several times for Hiki Chinatsu, but he couldn't find the real reason.

Thinking about it can only come down to mood.

Take a walk, take a look, and be open-minded may also dilute the killing intent in your body.

"What's there to see? I'm tired of watching! ”

A paper figure sitting on Chinatsu's shoulder shook his head and said.

The paper figure was about the size of a palm, with a hazy glow on the surface of her body, and her body proportions were exactly the same as Yukiko's, and she was boringly kicking her finger-thick calves as she spoke.

"It's too quiet along the way, can't you just find something exciting to do?"

"This is a permanent world, how can there not even be a battle?"

"Or ......"

As she spoke, she glanced suspiciously at Roger and Sunset Chinatsu.

"You two carry me behind your back......"

"What do you want, what do you really want to do and carry you on your back?!"

Roger said with a look of disdain, and he shot like lightning, grabbed the paper man's collar and threw her out.

"Ah...... Woo......"

Yukiko's voice was quickly drowned out by the wind, and she flew through the air, and it took a lot of effort to fall back onto Sunset Chinatsu's shoulder.

The area controlled by the Barberry Sword House is very large, and the number of forces and cities under its command is also much more than that of the Jackdaw Sword House.

What's more, after years of intensive cultivation, their sphere of influence has covered the entire region.

Even in the high mountains in the wilderness, there are corresponding levels.

The population is huge, and the scattered towns, villages and cities are linked together, and a huge life envelops the entire area.

This brings the area managed by the Barberry Sword House closer to the normal world.

Even at night, only certain areas are dangerous, and the occasional monster haunting the village is almost always a trivial matter.

Along the way, Roger could clearly see the happiness and abundance of ordinary people.

And the Jackdaw Sword Lord obviously has no talent in governance, plus his rise time is too short, the speed is too fast, and there is no time to accumulate, so the forces under his command can only barely protect the city.

As for the wild, it is only occasionally touched upon during the day.

Castle Peak Castle.

Walking into the city, Roger looked around and saw a rare crampedness.

There are many pedestrians on the road, and there are also practitioners walking around, and houses are lined up on the main road, and strangely enough, many houses are decorated with lights and decorations in front of their doors.

When I saw it on the street, most people were happy.

"What's going on?"

"Are there any important holidays?"

Festival, a word that is extremely normal in reality, is a luxury in ordinary times.

"I remember!"

Sunset Qianxia suddenly spoke, "Today is the third day of March, and it's Daughter's Day. ”

"When I was a child, my father celebrated me once."

"The Shinto Society holds a ritual of flowing chicks, and the girls will put the dolls in boxes and let them go away with their bad luck."

Sunset Chinatsu seemed to recall something.

"I can't remember a lot of the details of that day, but the only thing I remember is that after we came back, we ate a cold red scallop at a small shop on the side of the road."

"I'll never forget that taste."

The ordinary people in the jurisdiction of the Funiu Sword House are still in the mood for the holidays, and the strength of the Sword House can be seen.

"Hurry up, let's go over and have a look!"

"I don't have any of that in my memory." Yukiko jumped and jumped on Sunset Chinatsu's shoulder, urging urgently.

Roger glanced up at the mountains in the distance, hesitated, but agreed to come down.

"Let's go, it's along the way anyway."

The two of them followed the flow of people all the way, followed the joyful crowd up a nearby green mountain, and when they reached the mountain, the celebration seemed even more grand.

Roger didn't know the specific process of Daughter's Day, and he didn't know if the festival in the ordinary world was related to the present world.

However, it is still easy to get infected when you see smiling faces around you.

He noticed that the dolls made by the girls were very delicate.

The details are realistic.

It seemed that each one had the blessing of yin and yang, and Roger glanced at it casually, and some of the better ones were almost the same as the real people, and their appearance was exactly the same.

He saw the girls go up the river and take out the carefully prepared paper boats, about half a meter long, with talismans painted on the hull.

Immediately afterward, the girl will place the elaborate doll on the boat and take out the sachet.

"What's that?"

Yukiko asked curiously.

"It's fetal hair."

"It's the first strand of hair cut off from the top of a girl's head after she was born, with a little innate spiritual power."

A voice came from the side, Roger looked sideways, it was a woman with a veil on her head, and there was a flow of spiritual power on the scarf, which was obviously not an ordinary item.

If you want to see the appearance of a woman, you can only destroy the spiritual defense on the surface of the scarf.

Roger, of course, wasn't so bored, he withdrew his gaze and glanced nonchalantly.

But Yukiko was interested.

"What are they doing?"

"Do you pray to take away bad luck?"

Yukiko asked with interest.

"Doom?" The black gauze woman sneered, "I think it's peach blossom luck, right?" ”

Hearing the word peach blossom, Yukiko immediately became gossipy, "So, Daughter's Day is used to propose?" ”

The woman in black gauze looked at Roger and Sunset Chixia suspiciously, "You're not from here?" ”

Roger nodded, "I'm from the north." ”

The woman didn't ask carefully, and there was a hint of understanding in her eyes, "No wonder." ”

"This festival is not for marriage proposals, it is for the children of Jianlu to screen women, here, barberry is the king, is the sky."

"The dolls were made from the first day of the girls' lives, and every hair on the dolls came from the girls' bodies, and there was even a drop of blood inside the dolls' bodies."

"These puppets will follow the river through several areas one by one, nine mountains, waterway pavilions, and then to Otowa Falls, and the whole river has a special yin-yang technique in operation."

"The puppets who finally reach the finish line pass the selection and can be qualified to go up the mountain and stay there."

This process sounds familiar.

Roger rubbed his chin and thought silently.

"But to be honest, the people of Barberry Sword House basically don't have any defects except for being obsessed with women."

"Under their management, life is stable, and although there are occasional demonic incidents, it does not affect the overall life."

"Compared to other places, it's already considered happiness."

"What's more, many ordinary people want their daughters to be selected, because it will greatly improve the living conditions of the whole family."

"Girls who have reached the age of 16 need to drop their dolls in the river on March 3, Daughter's Day, and will be sent back to their homes after two years of being selected to go up the mountain."

"Marriage and children normally."

Roger listened to it with a smack.

Here, a woman's ascent up the mountain seems more like some kind of obligation, and it won't be long, and after two years, she will only be 18 years old.

Getting married and having children is the same age.

"Will anyone still want a girl from the mountain?"

Yukiko listened with a strange face, such a strange custom is much more exciting than the TV series.

"Not only do people want it, but they are scrambling to get it!"

"The vast majority of the women who came back from the bottom of the mountain remained virgins, and only a handful got wet."

"The strangest thing is that no matter who these women marry or not, the percentage of their descendants appearing as cultivators is frighteningly high."

"Wet women are especially prominent, and later, some women will find their own way to ...... before going down the mountain."

At this point, the Black Sand Woman kept her mouth shut, and it was a bit out of place to talk about similar topics with the openness of this world.

Everyone is an adult, so they naturally understand what she means next.

"What can you do?" At this moment, Yukiko suddenly spoke.

"Tell me, what do they think?"

She urged earnestly.

In order to avoid what nonsense she said next, Roger could only reach out and gag her mouth, and then motioned for the black gauze woman to continue.

"Phew!"

"Don't use your ...... Woohoo......"

Yukiko struggled.

"There's nothing left for the rest."

The emotions in the black gauze woman's eyes calmed down a bit.

"You seem to know a lot about that." Sunset Chinatsu spoke.

"Because many years ago, I was also chosen."

"It was a really special experience."

The woman sighed, clearly reluctant to talk more.

At this time, the crowd began to move, and unexpectedly, the puppet did not go downstream, but the river was flowing backwards, and it was rushing from low to high to the top of the mountain.

Since the path was the same, Roger did not deliberately avoid it, he withdrew his finger and followed the flow of people towards the mountain.

The girls dressed up in fancy clothes shouted loudly, and every time they passed through an area, some were happy and some were disappointed.

But even if someone is eliminated, the loser is unwilling and does not leave, but continues to move forward, which leads to the end, and the winding mountain road is already densely packed with people.

"We're almost at the waterfall."

The number of remaining dolls at the end is not particularly exaggerated, and the atmosphere at this time is quite like a draft in the real world, and people's emotions are pushed to the limit.

Finally, with the current, the boat carrying the puppet leaps down the waterhole to the top of the waterfall.

The crowd cheered, and the chosen ones even cried excitedly.

"I come here every year to participate in this event, and when I see them, I think of who I used to be."

The black gauze woman said faintly.

In this world, without power, there are too few paths they can choose.

Those two years made her remember it for the rest of her life.

The climax of the festival is over, all that remains is to register for selection, and then go up the mountain on the right day, when it should be crowded again.

By this time, Roger had separated from the crowd and continued to ascend the mountain road.

After exceeding a certain height, the oppression of spiritual power increased significantly, which was a warning to ordinary people to rush ahead.

After walking some distance upwards, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Stop coming!"

Immediately afterwards, a burly man blocked Roger's path.

"I'm from Hanchuan, I'm a student of the Jackdaw Sword Master, and I'm visiting the Funiu Sword House on behalf of the Sword House!"

Roger said loudly.

As he spoke, he took out the token that Michihiro Morita had given him.

However, when the various forces communicate, they are used as a certificate to prove their identity.

"Cold River ......"

"Jackdaw Sword Master?!"

The expression on the burly man's face changed, he looked Roger up and down a few times, and then a hint of admiration appeared on his face.

Roger couldn't help but nodded.

This is the advantage of having power as a backer.

After going out, you don't even need to do anything, as long as you report your name, you can enjoy the surprised and envious eyes of the other party.

Invisible pretending is the deadliest.

There was just the right smile on Roger's face, not looking proud, but also showing strength, and it was difficult to grasp the middle of the balance.

"Uh......"

"You've got courage!"

The man suddenly spoke, but what he said made Roger slightly stunned.

Then he saw that the look in the other party's eyes turned from shock to sympathy.

"A student who became the master of the Jackdaw sword...... It takes a lot of courage. ”

Roger:......

"Take me up the mountain!"

He retracted the smile on his face and said indifferently.

"Please come with me, I'll take you to the rest place at the entrance of the Sword House first."

As he spoke, Roger noticed a light and shadow flying towards the mountain, which should have been a notification.

Because of the oppression of spiritual power, Kazuo Aoki's yin-yang technique has long been ineffective, and Sunset Qianxia put away the paper man and walked towards the mountain together.

Dangdang!

At this time, there was a loud sound of bells from the direction of the top of the mountain.

"So soon, the people on the mountain already know I'm coming?" He asked, a little confused.

"Not really."

The man who was walking in front turned his head.

"Today is Daughter's Day, and on the mountain where the news spreads, three bells ring to mean that the number of people passing this year has exceeded expectations."

"So ring the bell to celebrate."

Roger opened his mouth, and he decided that for the rest of the time, he would not speak easily unless someone asked him.

The surrounding climate is pleasant, the air is slightly humid, and after walking for a distance, Roger looked back and saw that the clouds were misty, and there was a bit of fairy energy

However, thinking of the similar draft behavior at the foot of the mountain not long ago, Roger's impression of this place was greatly reduced.

Vulgar, vulgar is unbearable.

Ordinary transcendents are indeed not very restrained in that kind of thing, but no matter how excessive they are, there is no absurdity that comes from the Barberry Sword House.

The nobles of the Middle Ages had the right of the first night, and the Barberry Sword House was not much better, and was thinking about a voice in front of him.

"We're here."

Roger looked up, and then he saw a barberry with a body length of more than twenty meters, carved from bluestone.

The barberry was on the edge of the cliff, its body slightly arched, its hind limbs kicked to the ground, and its sharp horns seemed to pierce the sky!

Behind the barberry is a continuous complex of buildings.

Look at the style of others.

Roger couldn't help but pout.

In retrospect, Hanchuan seems to have only snow and mountains, and it is a big step behind Barberry Sword House in all aspects.

Just as Roger sighed, a voice came into his ears.

"You're a student of the Jackdaw Swordmaster?"

"Your teacher owes me a life, why don't you pay it back today!"

Roger turned his head and saw a figure striding towards him, feeling the spiritual power fluctuations surging on the other party's body, thinking of Morita Michihiro's advice, Roger couldn't help but sigh.
