The woman in red did not lie. She told Xu Qingmu that it was the man with the reed in his mouth who saved and taught him the sacrifice circle.
Xu Qingmu looked at Li Chengru and took a breath in his heart. Did it start fifteen years ago?
The moon in the sky is a very nice name.
Of course Xu Qingmu knew that this was not the man's real name, it was just a title. But since he was plotted against, it might be impossible to escape.
The woman in red did not rush, but waited for the answer from the young man in front of her. She had already decided that if the person in front of her was really unwilling to help her, then the couple would be buried on this barren mountain and would not be able to survive.
As husband and wife, we would like to be buried in the same place after death.
I just feel sorry for the old housekeeper.
While the woman was thinking in her mind, the boy who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old at most raised his head: "After drinking your tea, there is no reason not to help. Besides, if I guess correctly, the person you want to seek revenge on is exactly
Is it the Yamashita County Magistrate Chaojiu?"
Xu Qingmu then looked at the man with a dull face: "This should also be the county magistrate's son, Chao Xie, right?"
Now it was the woman in red's turn to be surprised, but before she could speak, the young man asked another question.
"You said you had nothing to do with the death on the mountain. Do you really mean that?"
The woman in red slowly stretched out her arm, and inside was a body wrapped in hanging branches, entangled with countless small branches, which was extremely terrifying. No wonder the scent of osmanthus on the woman's body was so strong, it turned out to be all caused by the osmanthus tree on her body.
"Xie Lang's life is all supplied by my essence and blood. I swear on my life that those rumors have nothing to do with us."
Xu Qingmu frowned. Are there other ghosts and monsters doing harm on this mountain?
Seeming to see the confusion in the young man's eyes, the woman said: "Master, are you wondering where those corpses whose flesh and blood have been sucked come from? I once went out of the magic circle to check one or two in person, and the corpses were already dead before they went up the mountain.
, so I’m sure that the people who have disappeared or been killed over the years have nothing to do with the mountain.”
Li Chengru also slightly wondered, a little strange.
Ye Qingxian said unintentionally: "Could someone deliberately frame this sister to divert everyone's attention?"
One word woke up the authorities.
Xu Qingmu stood up, made a gesture of thanksgiving to the woman, and said: "I, Jian Chou Li, use this sword to bring justice to the world."
There were tears shining in the corners of the woman's eyes, and she held the hand of the man next to her with a sad expression, but also a sense of relief.
--------------------------------
On the top of the mountain in the east chamber, the elder monk was scolding the younger monk.
"You said that as a monk, shouldn't your six sense organs be pure?"
"Learn from Master."
"Fart! What kind of person is your master? Your master never compromises with women! Never!"
"Master was still kneeling last night."
"That's called humility!"
"I will also be humble, little junior sister."
"Are you sure you don't want to go down the mountain? Speaking of which, Xu Qingmu can be considered your uncle. If this uncle is in trouble, you won't help?"
"Junior sister won't let me go down the mountain. Junior sister wants to catch butterflies."
"Hey, Shouyuan, tell Master, do you think Yu Yuan is the best girl in the world?"
"Yes. Master, what are you doing with the bricks?"
"You'll know when you answer 'no'."
...
An old man and a young man chatted about human affairs, watching the wind and clouds rise and the butterflies rising and falling.
At the end, Chunyang Taoist patted the young monk on the shoulder: "Apprentice, master has no ability in this life, but he promised my master to take good care of Xu Qingmu. It's a pity that master's body is getting older and older, and I'm afraid he will never come back.
."
Shouyuan finally couldn't help it and asked: "Master is really going down the mountain?"
Looking at the master who was really old, I couldn't bear it. After struggling for a long time, he said:
"Master, what do you want to give me? If I can't do it, I'll go..."
"A promise is made, no regrets!"
Taoist Chunyang stood up like a carp and changed from lying down to squatting. He stretched out his little finger and said loudly to the confused young monk Shouyuan in front of him:
"Hook!"
--------------------------------
By the time Xu Qingmu and the other three returned to the ruined temple, Cao Tong's nanny had already fallen asleep.
When Qinghu saw that the person coming was Xu Qingmu, he relaxed his guard. When he saw the woman in red and the corpse-like Chao Xie following him, all the soldiers looked extremely nervous. Even Qi Shang and Ba Xia, who were squatting at the door, grinned.
, making an attack gesture towards the person behind Xu Qingmu.
Xu Qingmu signaled not to be nervous, and then explained the situation to everyone.
Cao Tong Na Nizi woke up drooling. When she saw the man in red and the dull man, she was so frightened that she frowned and almost cried, "Am I dead and going to hell?"
Everyone covered their mouths and laughed, and even the woman in red, who lived like a year, also showed a little smile.
There is also warmth in human affairs.
Several people had dinner in the temple, during which Xu Qingmu asked the woman in red how to reverse the injuries on her body.
Hong Yi no longer needed the smoke from the human world to maintain his life, but he still took the creature in the cave that Xu Qingmu was grilling and took a bite. It was the first time he tasted food in the past fifteen years. Hong Yi felt quite moved in his heart and said
:
"Although the moon saved me that day, I am no longer a human being in essence. I live on an old laurel tree. However, as the essence and blood in my body decrease, these laurel trees have more and more control over my body.
When it gets stronger, when the whole body is covered by laurel trees, it will be the day when the body will die and the Tao will disappear."
Then he said cheerfully: "I have lived enough for a long time. I just see Xie Lang like this, and see his father ruthlessly guarding that soul. I feel unwilling to let go, so I suffer day by day. I hope that one day I can see Xie Lang again."
Lang, he was so elegant back then."
After saying that, he looked at the man next to him with eyes full of love and affection.
Xu Qingmu turned to look at Li Chengru, asking if there was any way to free the girl in red from her shackles. The latter shook his head slightly, it was destined to be a tragedy.
The woman leaned lightly against Chao Xie and hummed a song:
——The flowers bloom in the mountains in July, and I miss you like spring.
——We are traveling all over the world. How many times have we experienced the cold and heat? We are picking flowers and waiting for you to arrive. The sky is getting late and the clouds are slanting down in the west.
——Happy reunion, bitter farewell, I hate the lovesickness most, time passes without stopping, but I don’t see the clouds and rain when it comes.
——Through the eternity of time, sentimental farewells, good times and beautiful scenery, waiting for your return to sing and dance
...
A group of people were squatting or standing, listening to the melodious singing, and feeling deep thoughts in their hearts.
After finishing the song, the woman in red was a little shy and turned sideways to say Wan Fu: "Dear immortals, this is a joke."
Everyone applauded.
Xu Qingmu thought it sounded good from the bottom of his heart, so he said to Hongyi: "Girl, can you tell me the name of this song? Who wrote it?"
The woman in red was a little happy. The recognized song was officially written by Chao Xie, so she said:
"The name of this song is "Spring Flower Night Dew Ballad". It is one of the love tokens given to me by my husband, and it is also the belief that supports my survival..."
Maybe when I opened my mouth, I felt a little happy in my heart. In the past fifteen years, except for the old housekeeper, there was no one else I could talk to. Now that I have met so many friends with whom I can talk happily, Hongyi felt extremely relieved.
Then he said:
"My name is Fang Xue. She is the daughter of Fang Yuan, the wealthy family at the foot of the mountain. My husband is the only son of the county magistrate, just as the young master said. The two of us met in the temple of the empress. It is a coincidence that we also died in the temple.
middle."
After saying that, he gently took Chao Xie's hand, but the latter's eyes were empty and showed no reaction.
Xu Qingmu had something in mind. Fang Xue was only one surname different from the person he had always missed. I wonder if Lin Xue was still in Funiu Town? He sent several letters back but never received a reply. But this ballad was
It really sounded good. At that moment, Xu Qingmu decided to ask Fang Xue in red to sing it again so that he could remember it and sing it to Lin Xue in the future.
It must be excellent.
Xu Qingmu spoke, and the man in red was also very happy. It was a great feeling of happiness to be recognized. Then he spoke:
"The flowers bloom in the mountains in July, it's you..."
…
Xu Qingmu closed his eyes and listened. The sound was like a warbler's chirping, as crisp as a knife cutting green things, and as clear as a spring flowing down a mountain stream.
While everyone was listening attentively, an inappropriate roar came:
"The Sajia has been squatting for so long, and finally waited until you monsters showed up. Don't be afraid of the villagers behind you. Watch as the Sajia slashed the monsters one by one!"
Before anyone could say anything to stop them, they saw a naked and muscular monk holding a five-foot-thick six-ring blunt-backed sword. He glared angrily and dragged the sword towards Fang Xue and Chao Xie in red.
Xu Qingmu hurriedly stood up and blocked with Chouli before Chao Xie could make a move. He stood in front of the monk. The monk could not retract his sword in time and struck Chouli with a heavy slash. Xu Qingmu thought that he was physically stronger, but still
He was forcefully knocked back dozens of steps.
What a strong force!
"Are you looking for death, you white-faced young man? Fortunately, Sajia restrained his efforts, otherwise you would have made his grandma meet the Lord of Hell!"
The sound is like a bell, extremely thick.
"Isn't it true that you are possessed by a ghost?! How can you do such a thing as being an accomplice to a tiger?"
The monk held the knife in front of him, intending to chop again. Xu Qingmu quickly stepped forward and cupped his hand:
"This good man, please listen to me for now."
The monk lost his temper: "Listen to your grandma's legs! Get out of the way, or I'll kill you too."
Xu Qingmu grinned, okay, he is a reckless man. However, he still had some admiration in his heart. There were not many of these people who took it as their duty to eliminate demons and subjugate them. But at the moment, he didn’t have time to think about it carefully. He saw the monk slashing at him with his sword again, so he had to lift it upside down.
Chou Li, bravely stood in the middle.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
The monk said hello three times and said angrily: "The sword does not point at evil spirits and heretics, but at humans. You are not worthy of using a sword. Grandpa, I will teach you a lesson today!"
After that, he gave up on Chao Xie who had already stood up over there and slashed towards Xu Qingmu.
Xu Qingmu turned his head and glanced at Li Chengru. The latter looked at his nose and heart. He also grabbed Ye Qingxian who wanted to go to help, and he was determined to watch the fun.
The most annoying thing was that Old Man Li was afraid that the heat would not be enough, so he shouted to the monk: "Hero, help me."
After hearing this, the monk became even more angry. He pointed at Xu Qingmu and yelled: "I didn't expect that you are actually an accomplice. If I don't tell you here today, I will call you grandpa!"
The sword struck out, Xu Qingmu drew his sword to block it, but was still knocked back.
"Sword Two: Fly on the wings to identify the male and female!"
Xu Qingmu gave up blocking and took the initiative to attack. He shook Chouli quickly, and in an instant two sword blades, both real and fake, were formed, and stabbed towards the monk like a snake gliding. The monk still slashed vertically with his sword, powerfully breaking through all kinds of magic.
"There really is something. I, Song Qidao, hate you guys who are capable but don't follow the right path the most. Look at my third sword!"
Changing from vertical to horizontal, it's still the same sword, but the direction changes, slashing from left to right. There are still no fancy moves, just strength to win.
It was not until the sixth sword was used that all the upper, lower, left and right sides were chopped. Seeing that Xu Qingmu hadn't been taken down yet, the monk seemed a little anxious. Looking at the young man in front of him, he gasped and said: "I, Song Batao, haven't used my full strength yet, you boy, take advantage of it."
Surrender, don’t block grandpa from using his sword to defeat the devil!”
Xu Qingmu looked at the monk in front of him, feeling a little funny in his heart.
Yes, Song Qidao has been changed to Song Eight Dao.
