The Devil is My White Moonlight

The rumbling thunder came with the black clouds, and the earth trembled along with it.

The two looked up in amazement, the black cloud in the sky passed over them, hovering above the small courtyard of the city lord, tiny flashes of light appeared frequently in the cloud, and a bolt of lightning was about to take shape.

"This is... Thunder Tribulation?" Gu Qingqiao asked in surprise.

"Oops!" The two turned around and ran back.

"Kacha!" The powerful lightning strikes, and the thunder is deafening.

The two jumped over the half-court courtyard wall, and the courtyard was in a mess.

The hut was scorched and collapsed by lightning, and Xiaojie's cry came from the ruins.The two hurriedly moved away the wooden sticks and stones, revealing half of the castellan's scorched body.

"Xiaojie, child," the city lord said with difficulty, blood foaming down the corner of his mouth.She gently raised her uninjured hand and stroked Xiaojie's hair lightly.The two suddenly discovered that there was a damaged puppet charm hanging around Xiaojie's neck.

The two of them understood.

The resentful spirit took shape and was already a monster. In the past few decades, she has incorporated the souls of many living people, not to mention the karma of the living, and taking countless souls is also a felony.How can such a monster exist in the world?Sooner or later, God's punishment will come down.

But that "expert" used formations to hide the location of the mountain city, and even gave the city lord a puppet talisman.

The puppet talisman is worn on the body, which can prevent a catastrophe for the master, and that person hopes that this puppet talisman can make the wraith avoid the thunder disaster.It's just that he didn't expect that Wen Niang loved her son so much that she actually took the puppet charm with her son's neck.

When the lightning struck just now, all living things within the range of the thunder fire would be wiped out, but Xiaojie, a weak undead, survived because of the puppet talisman.

"Good boy," Wen Niang said with a smile on her face, "It's hard for you to stay with your mother for so many years, go reincarnate! Find a good family, and you will suffer less in the next life."

"Mom!" Xiaojie broke down in tears.

Wen Niang turned around, and nodded lightly at Chaogu and Mu, her body turned into countless light spots and scattered with the wind.

Suddenly, countless cries and shouts resounded in the city, and the spirits of children seemed to be boiling.Black shadows drifted out from the small courtyards, and gathered into a gentle face above the mountain city.That face reflected the sunlight, cast his eyes on the mountain city for the last time, and then gradually faded away and disappeared without a trace.

The barrier outside the mountain city completely disintegrated.

"Ding~~" There was a clear and melodious sound of beating bowls, and a tall figure in cassock came from the city gate.

The visitor strode like meteors, his robes fluttering, and he came to stand still in the middle of the empty street.

Only then did the two see clearly that this monk was tall and slender, with an old face full of ravines, eyes like deep pools, and a nose like an eagle's hook.A purple gold bowl is held in a big hand with well-articulated joints, and a string of giant clam beads is held in the other hand.

When he casually stopped in the middle of the street, he felt the majesty of Yuan Zhi Yue Ting and Bao Xiang.

The great monk glanced at the child spirits running around in the street, lowered his brows and closed his eyes, and proclaimed the Buddha's name: "Amitabha!" Then he flicked his fingers towards the golden bowl.

"Dang~~" This sound was like the morning bell of a Zen temple.The monk carried a powerful mana with his fingers, and all the children felt that the bell was deafening, and even their spirit bodies trembled.

"When~~" The second bell rang, and all the children fell silent.

"Dang~dang~dang~dang~dang~" After the seven sounds, Tong Ling, who was originally panicked, gradually revealed a peaceful face.Xiaojie took a last look at the two of them, bowed his head, and then turned into a white light and disappeared into the air.

The child spirits in the city turned into thousands of strips of light, and even the sunlight paled for a moment.

The mountain city collapsed inch by inch.More than a dozen mountain goblins lay on the ground trembling.

The monk glanced at them and said, "Amitabha, you should have been punished for helping the evildoers. I think you just obeyed orders and did not take the initiative to harm the world, so I will forgive you today. Practice is not easy, so you can do it yourself."

After hearing this, all the demons knelt down, kowtowed respectfully to the monk, and were about to disperse, the monk said: "Wait a minute, those innocent women brought from the mountain have been washed away by me just now!" Memory, you take them down the mountain."

All the monsters nodded repeatedly and took orders to leave.

The great monk put away the purple gold bowl, and looked straight at Gu Qingqiao with sharp eyes.That gaze was like a sharp knife, as if trying to cut him open to see what was inside.

Gu Qingqiao felt a sense of coercion coming towards his face, and he couldn't move his body immediately.At that moment, the feeling of being a knife and I being a fish was very clear.As long as the monk moves lightly, he can kill him like crushing an ant.

Gu Qingqiao was terrified, knowing that he had seen through his identity as a demon, but insisted that he had done nothing wrong and refused to bow his head.

It was only a few breaths, but in Gu Qingqiao's view, it seemed that several hours had passed.Finally, the monk withdrew his gaze and said to Gu Qingqiao: "Do you know that one thought becomes a Buddha and one thought becomes a demon, right or wrong, success or failure, all depends on your one thought."

Gu Qingqiao nodded, the clothes behind him were soaked in cold sweat.

The great monk said: "Things in the world are easier said than done, just remember, if you make a wrong choice, no matter where you are, I will personally kill you."

After speaking, he took a deep look at the two of them, turned around and walked in the direction he came from.

He walked unhurriedly, but shrank into an inch, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Qingqiao! Xiyun!" The call came, and Su Yanjun and Qin Le rushed over.

"Are you all right?" Qin Le was sweating and his face was a little pale.

When the four meet, they are naturally indescribably happy.

Seeing that the two of them were covered in dust and looked tired, Su Yanjun said with concern: "It must be hard work for you, let's go back to the town first, Elder Huang is still waiting at the post."

The four returned to the post house together, and after a short rest, they gathered in Su Yanjun's room.

Gu Qingqiao told them what happened to them.

"It turns out that's the case," Qin Le said: "The resentful spirit was transformed by countless sad mothers, it's really pitiful."

Su Yanjun said: "The master mentioned by the resentful spirit acts mysteriously, but he doesn't know what his purpose is."

Mu Xiyun had already thought about this matter in her heart many times, and first told everyone the doubts of the two, and then said: "Keeping the mountain city but not taking the initiative to publicize this matter, I always feel that his purpose is not pure. Judging from the current situation From the looks of it, he doesn't care about Wenniang's fate, even though he intends to protect Wenniang, everything he does is to maintain the existence of the mountain city."

"This mountain city exists in the world, will it bring any benefits to people?" Qin Le asked.

After pondering for a long while, Gu Qingqiao hesitated and said: "I can't think of the advantages for now, but there is one disadvantage."

Several people looked up at him.

Gu Qingqiao deliberated for a while and said: "The so-called expert once said that after the reconstruction of the mountain city, there are still a steady stream of child spirits defecting to the city. What he said is because there are still children being killed, so the mountain city must be preserved. , to leave evidence for the world.”

Mu Xiyun nodded and said: "But in fact, the child spirits in the city are enough to be evidence, we just need to find someone to witness."

"Yes," Gu Qingqiao said: "Then let's think in another direction, what if it's not to preserve the evidence, but the other way around?"

"Conversely?" Qin Le murmured: "Keep the evidence and reverse it, that is... destroy the evidence!"

Su Yanjun also reacted, "So, that person intends to let the mountain city absorb the child spirits who died of abuse, and then use formations to hide the mountain city, so that the chance of being discovered will be much smaller. Then, this person must It has a lot to do with people who kidnap and traffic children and take blood for alchemy."

"That's right," Qin Le said immediately, "That city was originally used for alchemy. It's so hidden in the mountains, how can ordinary people find it? He already knew about this city, and went to investigate after the city was destroyed. It was discovered that it was the grieving spirits of the mothers. Then he took advantage of Wenniang's innocence and love to fabricate a lie and asked Wenniang to help him collect the dead souls wholeheartedly. Poor that peasant girl, she thought she was doing good deeds all the time."

The four of them kept discussing, but Huang Zelin remained silent, rubbing his long white eyebrows lightly with his right hand, wondering what he was thinking.

"Elder Huang," Gu Qingqiao softly called him, "Elder Huang?"

Huang Zelin came back to his senses in a shock, frowned and said, "It's unheard of for children's blood to concoct alchemy. Although alchemists also often use blood to concoct medicine, but most of them are used as medicine. I have never heard of a large number of donated blood to make medicine." After finishing speaking, he Standing up, he shook slightly.

"Elder, be careful!" Mu Xiyun stepped forward to help, but was pushed away by Huang Zelin. "I have to think about it." After finishing speaking, he went straight back to his room.

Several people were a little confused. After looking at each other for a while, Mu Xiyun asked, "By the way, how did you open the mountain barrier? Who is that master?"

Su Yanjun said: "We received a summons from our junior brother the night before yesterday, so we set off immediately, but encountered a maze in the mountains."

"Yeah," Qin Le continued, "We wandered through the maze for more than an hour, and finally found the exit of the maze, but we were blocked by a big stone."

"Is it that big stone that has been used to deceive the eyes?" Mu Xiyun asked, "I made a mark under the stone, just go straight through it."

"Oh, we went straight through," Qin Le sighed, "But after we passed, we found that we were in Li County, a hundred miles away."

"Li County?" Gu Qingqiao's face was blank.

"That's right," Qin Le showed a helpless expression, "At that time we didn't know. After searching in the mountains all night, until dawn, it was Brother Su who found something wrong with the local woodcutter's clothing. We only found out after asking. , we were actually sent hundreds of miles away.”

Su Yanjun also nodded, "Probably because you went at the right time, and we arrived late, the magic circle that hides the mountain city has already begun to take effect."

Gu and Mu suddenly realized.Gu Qingqiao then asked: "Where is that great monk?"

"What great monk?" Su Yanjun smiled, "That's Master Huimo of Baotong Temple, who uses a purple golden bowl as a magic weapon to subjugate countless demons and demons, and is very respected by the world. Although he is...a bit serious, he still Bodhisattva has a heart. At that time, he was doing things for the villagers in Ping County. After learning about our experience, he took the initiative to go with us. It was he who untied the magic circle of blinding eyes and let us find the mountain city."

"Yeah," Qin Le nodded vigorously, and said in a low voice: "When breaking the barrier, he just tapped with his right index finger, and the boulder immediately turned into powder. Then..." When Qin Le said this, his eyes unexpectedly Showed some fear.

"Then what happened?" Mu Xiyun poured him a cup of tea.

"Master Huimo said," Su Yanjun said with a smile, "The Qin family has been stationed in Linmoyuan for generations, so they must have some experience in the barrier formation. The barrier of the mountain city is not complicated. It should be untied."

"Then he stood behind me, waiting for me to disarm." Qin Le said pitifully.

The two couldn't help smiling, one could imagine how nervous the fat boy was when the solemn master stood behind Qin Le.

"Qin Le is indeed very good!" Su Yanjun praised: "In less than a stick of incense, he really opened a gap in the barrier. But unexpectedly, it immediately attracted thunder."

"Alas," Gu Qingqiao sighed, "After all, the resentful spirit has become a demon, and heaven and earth will not tolerate it. But her family's Xiaojie should have been saved, and it can be regarded as fulfilling his mother's wish."

The four sighed for a while, and Su Yanjun said: "We have been delayed here for a few more days, let's leave early tomorrow morning. You are also tired these two days, go to bed early."

At this time, the postman came to ask if the dinner was ready, should I go downstairs to eat or bring it to the room.The four of them went downstairs, and asked Xiaoer to take it to Elder Huang's room.

After dinner, the four of them went back to their rooms.

Mu Xiyun returned to the room and closed the door with her backhand, but she didn't make any other movements, she just quietly looked at the window.

Gu Qingqiao and Qin Le's voices were heard outside the door, and then Gu Qingqiao next door closed the door.

Mu Xiyun walked to the table and poured two cups of tea.

The window sills slammed softly, and a young man in black clothes had already entered through the window.

Mu Xiyun handed him a cup of tea, and said with a smile, "I was born again, I haven't seen anything else, but my ability to open windows has gradually improved."
