The Devil is My White Moonlight

Mu Xiyun thought of Li Yao in her dream and couldn't fall asleep anymore. She sat under the crabapple tree in the courtyard with her clothes on.The moonlight shines like a wash, just like that night back then.

That year Li Yao brought the disciples of Tianliang Peak to Linmoyuan, the battle was imminent, but the free ranger didn't feel any nervous, and even had the leisure to tease his little apprentice.

Why did Master laugh at that time?Mu Xiyun closed his eyes and tried hard to recall, yes, that day in the assembled team, he saw the disciples from the Southwest Witch Doctor Valley, and kept looking for Gu Qingqiao in the crowd, but he didn't hear the master's question.

Later, Shizun went out for two days, and when he came back, Mu Xiyun helped him organize his belongings, but found that Shizun's blue dragon pendant was missing.Although Li Yao only said lightly that it doesn't matter, Mu Xiyun still looked for it around the room out of luck.That night, he searched carefully under the master's window to no avail. He inadvertently looked through the window and saw the master sitting at the table, who seemed to be suppressing something, and the blue totem flashed across his face. Pass.The time was too short, making people think that he was dazzled, but when he looked again, Li Yao had returned to normal.

What exactly happened to Master back then?

The courtyard door slammed, and Gu Qingqiao and Zhang Jinjin came in.

Unexpectedly, Mu Xiyun was sitting in the courtyard, and both of them were stunned.

An awkward atmosphere spread in the small courtyard.Gu Qingqiao opened his mouth, and rolled his way through stealing, drinking, listening to storytelling, and a lot of messy answers, and finally chose to tell the truth.

"Gu worm?" Mu Xiyun was taken aback, an unbelievably daring thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and for a moment, he felt his heart was stabbed like a knife, and his face quickly turned pale.

"Are you okay?" Gu Qingqiao grabbed his hand in shock, the palm was cold and covered with a thin layer of sweat.

"It's okay," Mu Xiyun reluctantly withdrew her mind, and said casually, "I was a little afraid of bugs when I was young."

Although it is a bit girly to say things like being afraid of bugs, the Central Plains region has always believed that voodoo is vicious and mysterious, and it is normal to avoid voodoo and witchcraft, and some overreactions are normal.

Gu Qingqiao hesitantly took out the porcelain bottle and put it on the stone table without opening it.The moonlight was pale, and there seemed to be waves of chills radiating from the porcelain vase.

"It's a Gu worm." Gu Qingqiao replied: "When Lin Xuewu is awake, he is no different from ordinary people. When he is crazy, he has no mind. It should be a manifestation of his mind being controlled. When I used spiritual power to probe just now, I focused on his heart and mind. The condition of his brain. Fortunately, I happened to detect the living thing in his heart."

Mu Xiyun looked at Gu Qingqiao with doubts in her eyes. "Why didn't the people from Lingshan find out before?"

Gu Qingqiao felt nervous for a while.

You must know that this Gu worm is usually dormant, connected with Lin Xuewu's heart and blood, like a whole.Lin Xuewu went to investigate when he was sober, of course it was difficult to find out.But today Lin Xuewu had two seizures, both when Gu Qingqiao approached.Sensing the threat, the Gu worms were naturally agitated, and Gu Qingqiao used blood to detect them, so they missed their whereabouts.

If he said this, his identity as a disciple of the Southwest Witch Doctor Valley would definitely be exposed. I don't know how Mu Xiyun would react.

After finally being able to sit together like friends, Gu Qingqiao didn't want to take any risks.

So he made a grimace, and said with a smile: "So I was lucky, and I happened to be caught. As for who put a Gu on him, and for what purpose, we need more clues."

Mu Xiyun seemed to be convinced, and nodded slightly.

Gu Qingqiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly changed the subject: "Cousin, I don't have Lingwu either. I want to go to Lingshan Discussion with Mu Yun."

Zhang Jinjin, a cheap cousin, had a toothache, and said quickly, "It's fine, it's fine, you two go together and take care of each other." Before Mu Xiyun could react, she immediately put on her elder brother's airs and pushed the two of them: "Tianwan Now, go to sleep, make preparations tomorrow, and set off together in the morning of the day after tomorrow."

When it came to preparations, Mu Xiyun didn't care, she just meditated in the room, but Zhang Jinjin sent some healing elixir in case she needed it from time to time.Gu Qingqiao went out for a whole day, and returned to the small courtyard excitedly in the evening.

Zhu Yicheng was also in the courtyard at this time, and was about to ask Mu Xiyun to go to the hall to have dinner together. Seeing Gu Qingqiao coming in with a box in his hand, his eyes lit up, and he jumped up and laughed, "I said, why are you in Qianjin Pavilion?" After staying for so long, did you really buy something good?"

The Qianjin Pavilion in Hongye City was opened by a branch of the Nie family in Lingshan. It inherited the secret iron forging method of the Nie family and specializes in forging various weapons. It enjoys a high reputation in the human world and even in the world of cultivating immortals.

Zhu Yicheng opened the box, and inside was a long sword.The style is ordinary but the steel mouth is excellent, and the blade is flexible.It can be regarded as the top-notch work of Qianjin Pavilion.

"Oh, I thought it was some magical weapon! The sword is not bad, but it's not high-grade." After blurting out, Zhu Yicheng suddenly covered his mouth, feeling inappropriate belatedly.

Gu Qingqiao didn't take it seriously, he took out the sword, handed it to Mu Xiyun and said, "Your Chixia was shattered in Ping County, I went to Qianjin Pavilion today, and saw this sword, I think it's quite suitable for you. No Something really nice, but sturdier than the one you're using now."

Before Mu Xiyun could refuse, he went on to say, "You will definitely be able to get the Destined Spirit Martial Arts when you go to Lingshan this time, but the way to the trial is dangerous after all, so don't be careless. If you really don't want it, just treat it as if I borrowed it from you. When you get the good sword, return it to me."

Now that the conversation has reached this point, it is inconvenient for Mu Xiyun to postpone it any longer.He took the sword and touched the hilt with his fingers, but it felt familiar. The non-slip pattern on the hilt, the length of the sword body and even the weight of the sword seemed to be the Dao Heart of the previous life.

Mu Xiyun raised her eyes to look at Gu Qingqiao, as if she wanted to see through this man's soul through his eyes.

Seeing that the two fell into silence again, Zhu Yicheng was about to speak when Gu Qingqiao smiled and said, "I'm hungry, let's go eat."

The three of them walked towards the hall together, passing by Fairy Meishan's small courtyard, Zhu Yicheng poked his head and glanced into the window, Gu Qingqiao put his arms around his neck, and smiled softly: "Looking for your Miss Luo again? , what's the matter with you two?"

Zhu Yicheng blushed in shock.But he has a bright and cheerful nature, and he didn't show any twitching. He said generously: "Three years ago, my mother asked me to participate in the Lingshan Discussion, and I met Miss Luo at that time."

Mrs. Zhu is right, Zhu Yicheng has a good foundation, and he has been the capital of his parents to show off to the outside world since he was a child.Zhu Mingyi of the Green Willow Villa has only average aptitude, and he is only in the middle stage of the Golden Core so far, and has no breakthrough yet.The parents pinned all their hopes on their son.

Two years ago, Mrs. Zhu handed over her handkerchief, and Mrs. Luo from Baihuagu wrote a letter saying that her son Luo Ziqi was going to Lingshan to discuss Taoism. Mrs. Zhu brought Zhu Yicheng, who had just built the foundation, to Lingshan to try.

Zhu Yicheng hesitated in his heart. He had just established his foundation and his realm had not yet been consolidated. When he met Mrs. Luo and his party in anxiety, he saw Luo Qingwen.

Luo Qingwen was only 13 years old that year, but she already had a faint figure of a slender figure with picturesque eyebrows.She is the concubine daughter of the Luo family, and this time she is just here to gain some insight, and she is not conspicuous among the sons and daughters of the Luo family.For some reason, the young man's heart became hot.

At that time, Zhu Yicheng asked quietly, Luo Qingwen had only perfected her qi back then, and planned to come to Lingshan to participate in the discussion on the Tao in three years, so she moved her heart to discuss the Tao with her.Thanks to his hard work, he finally persuaded his mother to escape that class.

"Speaking of which, why do you insist on having a class with her? Is there anything special about it?" Gu Qingqiao was very puzzled.

The three of them had already arrived at the door, and before Zhu Yicheng could answer, there was a sudden commotion in the hall.

The hall was already full of people, and everyone stretched their necks to look at a wooden platform at the front.This wooden platform is usually used to tell stories, but now Zhang Jinjin is standing on the platform, speaking to everyone.

"Thank you for taking care of the Golden Pavilion. The Golden Pavilion in Hongye City has always been committed to helping you win in the Lingshan Discussion. All of you here have bought the guidance books produced by the Golden Pavilion. Today, we specially invited Nie's family from Lingshan Elder, answer your questions for everyone."

After speaking, a 40-year-old Nie family member stood on the wooden platform.

As soon as Zhang Jinjin waved, a dozen or so young men in identical azure robes, holding jade slips, immediately dispersed into the crowd.

Immediately someone from the audience asked: "We have asked the seniors who participated in the illusion, and their experiences are often contradictory. Some said they were on trial with others, while the other said they were not together. What is the reason for this? "

Beside him, a young man from the Golden Pavilion was faithfully recording.

The Nie family smiled and replied: "The illusion of Lingshan is different from the general magic circle. After entering the mountain, everyone faces different situations. Let's put it this way, the person who walked into the illusion with you may be himself, or it may be The entities generated in the illusion, even your own demons. You have no way of judging this. So I advise everyone to stick to the principles in your heart and not give up your own standards of doing things just because of who the other party is."

Everyone in the audience was stunned.Then another person asked: "I have heard people say that he stayed in the mountain for two days after completing his own trials. I don't know why?"

The middle-aged man on the stage laughed and said: "This is actually the first question. Someone may have passed the test, but other people's test needs his cooperation, so the magic circle will temporarily keep him so that others can pass the test." Complete the trial alone. Of course, the magic circle will guarantee his safety."

Hearing this, Zhu Yicheng's face showed excitement, he pulled Mu Xiyun and Gu Qingqiao and whispered: "Do you know? There used to be a Fairy Cheng in Inexplicable Lake who was injured in a trial. Everyone around her Disappearing out of thin air should be considered as the end of the trial, but she stayed in the magic circle for an extra day until a senior brother from Mount Qingcheng rescued her."

Having said that, he paused.

"Well," Mu Xiyun was a little puzzled.

Gu Qingqiao raised his eyebrows: "Then?"

Zhu Yicheng squinted at him, "Then of course the two fell in love because of this, and became Taoist couples!"

Gu Qingqiao couldn't help laughing, and patted Zhu Yicheng's shoulder: "So that's why you insist on participating with Miss Luo!"

Zhu Yicheng wasn't annoyed at being seen through, but just blinked, with a little pleasure of a plot to succeed.

Mu Xiyun smiled and shook her head, but suddenly remembered that she also met a person when she was discussing Taoism in Lingshan that year, and he became an eternal pain in her heart.

Sitting at the table, Gu Qingqiao couldn't help clenching his fists as he watched the brilliance in Mu Xiyun's eyes dim.

The communication on and off the stage is still going on, but it has reached the minutiae.After a while, Zhang Jinjin announced the end of the Q&A and sent off the elders of Nie's family.The young people in the hall were excited and chatted while eating.

Mu Xiyun was afraid of making noise, so she got up and left after eating silently, Gu Qingqiao chased after her.

The gentle evening wind carried the noise far away, and the two of them walked on the path along the lake without talking.The lake water gently slapped against the shore, and amidst the shallow splashes, one could only hear the two people's footsteps clattering on the stone slabs, just like Xiao Xianjun and strangers walking in the winding alleys back then.

Mu Xiyun stopped in her tracks, the lights in the distance couldn't illuminate Gu Qingqiao's face, and the people around her looked like the teenagers back then.

I don't know why, this person can always bring back his distant memories.

"I have a friend," Mu Xiyun said in a low voice with a hoarse voice, "I trust him a lot, but he hurt my dearest person. If you were me, what would you do?"

Gu Qingqiao's heart sank suddenly, thousands of words came to his lips but he couldn't utter them, he tried his best to suppress the trembling in his tone, and asked, "Do you still believe him?"

"I don't know..." Mu Xiyun looked at the lake, her voice was so low that she could hardly hear it: "Does it matter whether I believe it or not? Things have happened and cannot be changed."

Perhaps it was because the sadness in the words was too obvious, Gu Qingqiao's heart was on fire.For a moment, he gave up his usual probing and cautiousness, grabbed Mu Xiyun's shoulders, forced him to face himself, and said word by word: "If you are really friends, what do you think? is the most important."

"Really?" Mu Xiyun looked back at him in a daze, and there seemed to be water in her eyes. "I just want to know what happened back then."

"Then let's ask, look for it!" He stared closely at Mu Xiyun's eyes, "Even if it's not for him, it's for yourself!"

The word "we" made Mu Xiyun slightly startled, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but a trace of longing arose in her heart, which was the warmth she experienced more than 50 years ago.Even if you bury your head in the sand temporarily like an ostrich, you still want the warmth of attachment.

When the night wind blew, the skirts of the two of them were lifted, and they touched each other lightly in the air.The moonlight illuminated the eyebrows and eyes of the fairy in white, and the crow-feather-like eyelashes cast long shadows on his face. At this moment, the entanglement and hesitation of the past days seemed to be washed away by the moonlight, and Mu Xiyun smiled and raised her face.

"it is good."
