The Devil is My White Moonlight

Crescent City is a miracle in the desert.

Surrounded by tall sand dunes, only in the center, a clear spring gushes out, the water quality is clear, and a small lake is formed in the center of the sand dunes.The water in the desert is not easy to keep, and it cannot be accumulated into a circular pool like the south of the Yangtze River. The spring water only forms a crescent-like bend, but it feeds an ancient city.

The location of Crescent City is excellent. It reaches the Central Plains in the east, leads to the demon clan territory in the west, towering snow-capped mountains in the south, and the Demon Realm in the north. Crescent City is located in the center of the East-West commercial road.The long-distance business traveler has been suffering in the desert for several months. When he arrived here, he was finally able to take a breath, replenish water, and then move on to the next stage of the journey.

Due to the fact that Crescent Moon Spring is too precious, the surrounding forces silently reached an agreement after long-term testing and running-in: there is no supervisor in Crescent Moon City, and the human, demon, and demon races divide their territories and do not invade each other.Be careful in your activities in the city, and live and die at your own risk.

When Mu Xiyun and his party came to Crescent City, there was a big market being held in the city.

Speaking of which, Crescent Moon City also failed to escape the ravages of the plague, and had just recovered from the illness.

It's just that it's lively and lively here.After the epidemic was eliminated, merchants from south to north immediately gathered in the city again. The streets were full of temporary stalls, and the merchants sat or stood, shouting their own products.On the street, people, demons, and demons are all undisguised, walking on the street swaggeringly.

Little Xing'er had already entered the Pearl to rest, and the three of them paid the fee to enter the city. Seeing the bustling street, Gu Qingqiao smiled and said: "We are lucky to go out this time, there are great events happening in every place we go, so we can't always live to the inn."

Mu Xiyun smiled: "Let's go to your cousin's post house, just in time to find out the news."

Mu Xiyun looked at the stalls around her, and took a small jade plaque casually, preparing to give it to Xiao Xing'er as a gift.

Gu Qingqiao paid the money and asked with a smile: "I wonder if there is a Golden Pavilion in this city?"

The Hu merchant who sells things does not know Chinese, but when he heard the pronunciation of "Golden Pavilion", he immediately understood what he meant, stood up, pointed to the road, and made a gesture.

Gu Qingqiao thanked him with a smile, and led the two of them towards the center of the city.

Mu Xiyun put away the little jade card, and asked him in a low voice: "Do you still understand the words here?"

Gu Qingqiao smiled and said: "When I lived here when I was a child, I didn't have many friends. Most of them were bored at home and played by myself. After wandering on the street for a year, I learned a little bit. After so many years, I have almost forgotten it."

Feng Gu was quite at ease. Hearing this, he said: "Crescent Moon City a few decades ago is no different than it is now. The boundaries between races are strict. If a child like you wanders the streets, he is afraid that he will be captured as a slave."

Mu Xiyun quietly looked at Gu Qingqiao, and stretched out her hand to squeeze his fingers under her sleeve.

Gu Qingqiao leaned over and said in a low voice: "The Immortal Lord is afraid that I will bring back sad memories? Why don't you leave your mark like in the Valley of Witch Doctors?"

What she said made Mu Xiyun blush, she shook off his hand and strode forward.

Gu Qingqiao followed with a smile.

Zhang Jinjin deserves to be the largest merchant in the Central Plains. The Golden Pavilion has a branch in Crescent City. In this place where every inch of land is precious, it occupies nearly a hundred acres.

Walking into the gate of the Golden Pavilion, an attendant immediately came forward and asked in a low voice: "The three please follow me to the backyard!"

"You know us?" Gu Qingqiao paused, and grabbed Mu Xiyun's sleeve vigilantly.

"My lord, don't worry too much. My master told me to wait here. You will know when you see him in the backyard."

Gu Qingqiao was still on guard, blocking Mu Xiyun behind him, and followed the guy to the backyard.

Flowers and plants are planted in the courtyard, chrysanthemums of various colors are competing to bloom, and a tall ginkgo stands in the courtyard.The few people are used to seeing the yellow sand all over the sky during this period of time. At first glance, the blooming flowers seem a little unreal.

"Oh, it's finally here!"

Before the people arrived, the words arrived first, only a red shadow flashed, and a fragrant wind passed by the two of them, it was Mo Yan!

Mo Yan raised his arm, wrapped it around Gu Qingqiao's neck, and said coquettishly, "Oh, Mr. Gu, I haven't seen you for so long, I really want to die at my slave's house!"

Without waiting for Gu Qingqiao to push her away, she stretched out her hand to hold Mu Xiyun's arm, and said softly: "My family also misses you, little fairy!"

The two of them blushed because of her tugging, but Mo Yan let out a "huh", stared at Mu Xiyun several times, and whispered into Gu Qingqiao's ear, "Got it?"

Gu Qingqiao didn't expect that she would see this as soon as they met, and if he wanted to answer, he would not be able to avoid Mu Xiyun's ears, not to mention that there was Senior Brother Feng Gu by his side, so he was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do.

Mo Yan looked at him, showed a clear expression, patted his shoulder with a smile, and added: "Is it easy to use? My sister will get you a few cans later!"

Even Mu Xiyun blushed this time.

"Hahaha, come on, come on, don't tease them, they will run away in a while, let's see how you explain to the king!" A person walked out of the room, with a light robe and a peach blossom face, it was Zhang Jinjin!

In the few months since Longzhao Village, this frivolous young man has become darker and thinner.He walked down the steps with a smile, and said to the two of them, "You guys are finally here! You must have a good chat today!"

Feng Gu didn't want to take part in the Golden Pavilion and was about to retreat, but Mo Yan suddenly said, "This uncle is a person who refines medicine?"

Feng Gu nodded, and Mo Yan immediately stepped forward and said affectionately: "My family is also a practitioner of medicine, I wonder if uncle can take the time to discuss with my sister?"

Looking at Fenggu's puzzled expression, Zhang Jinjin made a rescue and said, "Her sister's medical skills are indeed good. If the uncle is willing, he can stay in my Golden Pavilion and teach the children in the medical center. How about it?"

Feng Gu was overjoyed.He didn't have any relatives or friends in Crescent City, he thought he would have to live a hard life, but now that he had an invitation from the Golden Pavilion, at least earning a living would not be a problem, so he followed Mo Yan immediately.

Zhang Jinjin took the hands of the two of them and entered the room to serve tea.

"I've heard about your stay at Hot Spring Villa and Baihua Valley. I have a guess..." Zhang Jinjin said.

"Do you think that the matter of the hot spring villa has something to do with Asabo?" Gu Qingqiao asked directly.

"How do you know?" Zhang Jinjin was a little surprised.

Gu Qingqiao smiled slightly, and told Zhang Jinjin about their experience after they left Baihua Valley.

"It turned out to be like this..." After listening to the narration of the two, Zhang Jinjin suddenly realized, and couldn't help thinking of the scene he saw in the Demon Lord's secret room back then. "Speaking of it, Asabo is also pitiful. He lost his beloved at a young age, but the problem is, if someone helps, Lan Jing'er may be saved. It's a pity..."

"But that's not a reason for him to slaughter the four major families!" Mu Xiyun frowned.

"Hey, when you are deeply in love, you will probably be confused!" Zhang Jinjin sighed: "If you were Asabo, and you knew that the person you loved left forever because he was helpless, what would you think and how would you act?" Woolen cloth?"

Mu Xiyun and Gu Qingqiao looked at each other at the same time.

"In this case," Zhang Jinjin said again: "The origin of this Lan Jing'er is worth inquiring about. It's a pity that since I knew this person, I have been paying attention to her, but the time is too long, and I haven't gotten any information about her. information."

"There is still news in this world that you can't get from the Golden Pavilion?" A hearty voice sounded from outside the door.Zhang Jinjin stood up abruptly: "Nan Wang!"

Nanmo Canaan!

The person who came was dressed in red.The fiery red color is not suitable for men, but it looks very suitable for him.The man's skin was very fair, and against the background of the red clothes, it showed a pinkish color, plus his chubby figure, bulging cheeks, and a smile on his face, he looked like a huge festive doll.

When Canaan walked into the hall, his eyes fell on Gu Qingqiao's face. His eyes were extremely focused, but Gu Qingqiao felt that although he was looking at himself, his eyes had penetrated everything and landed on a certain void. What he looked at was not himself, but someone in that void.

After a while, Canaan came back to his senses, stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "Seeing you, I remembered an old friend, I laughed." When he raised his eyes, he showed a seemingly innocent smile again: "Jin Jin So, who are you talking about?"

Zhang Jinjin smiled and said, "It's the beautiful woman I mentioned to you before, and you told me her name is Lan Jing'er!"

"Oh, Lan Jing'er, she is indeed a beauty!" Canaan showed nostalgia, then turned to Gu Qingqiao and said, "Speaking of which, she is still your fiancée!"

This word plunged into the pool like a boulder, and shocked several people in the hall. After a while, they heard Gu Qingqiao ask: "What does this have to do with me?"

"Ha, that's a long story." Canaan flicked his sleeves, sat down on the main seat in the hall, yelled at the servants to bring fragrant tea and pastries, took two bites, and then slowly said: "Lan surnamed As the common surname of the western tribe of the demons, Lan Jinger is the daughter of the leader of the western region, Lan Yuqing. When she came to the palace of the demons, she was only 15 years old."

It was the five-yearly meeting of the leaders of the demon clan, and the leaders of all the tribes in the demon realm gathered in the palace.

At that time, Canaan was thirty years old, and he was regarded as Lan Jinger's uncle.

15-year-old Lan Jinger, with the enthusiasm of the western desert and the aura of the oasis, followed her father to the magic palace.When she walked into the palace hall, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.As the saying goes: "It seems as if the moon is covered by light clouds, and the snow flutters like the flowing wind" (Luo Shenfu), and the beautiful girl, facing the question of the demon king, showed a charming smile and said: "I am blue. Jing'er, Aguro's fiancée. I'm here to marry him!"

The concubine Ling, the biological mother of the sixth prince Aguluo, is taboo in the Demon Palace. Everyone was worried when they heard this, but the Demon Lord remembered something that day, and with a gentle expression, he explained patiently: "Concubine Ling In the early years, I left the palace because I missed my hometown, and took away the sixth prince. Now more than ten years have passed, and they have long disappeared. If Jinger is interested, I have several sons who are very good. How about choosing among them? ?”

The princes on the side were all excited, vying to put on their most perfect posture, hoping to win the heart of the beautiful woman.

After the leader meeting, Lan Jing'er stayed in the magic palace for a year.During this year, the second prince Asabo went to talk with her almost every day, and the gifts were delivered to Lan Jing'er's small courtyard like a stream of water.

Everyone thought that Asabo was sure to marry Lan Jing'er as his wife, and even the chief steward of the palace secretly prepared a wedding silk, ready to prepare for the wedding at any time.

However, one day, Lan Jing'er suddenly announced that she was going to the Central Plains to find her long-lost fiancé.

Of course Asabo was unwilling, and tried every means to obstruct her, even locking her in the palace.

But Lan Jing'er still left, and with her yearning and expectation for the Central Plains, she disappeared without a trace on a stormy night.

"It is said that the beautiful woman traveled in the Central Plains for a period of time, and met many young talents from back then, which almost caused a sensation in the entire Central Plains cultivating immortals." Canaan said with a smile.

"In the end, she chose Qin Baolin?" Zhang Jinjin asked.

"Well, that's why girls need to know more about people, so that they can know people's faces and their hearts. That guy Qin Baolin has no ambitions, and his skills are sparse, but he has a good skin, and usually likes to do some poetry and songs. This talent actually won Lan Jing'er's favor." When Canaan talked about this past event, he still felt a little resentful. "If it wasn't so, why would Miss Jing'er die in Yinlong Villa because of him?"
