The moon is bright and the wind is clear

Under the moonlight, two figures, one black and one gray, walked through the mottled woods for a while, and gradually stopped when they saw that Lan Mo didn't keep up.

The two stopped under a big tree. The man in black took off his mask and said out of breath, "Elder brother, don't worry, that Lan Xu has been poisoned, and they won't be able to catch up for the time being."

The person who spoke was Hong Ling.She was dressed in a black tight-fitting night gown, completely masculine attire, and she did not look like a daughter in normal times.

The man in gray also took off his mask, revealing a handsome face, needless to say, this person is Sikong Lang.Seeing that his face was ugly, he said in a deep voice: "Little girl, when did you learn how to plot against people? If you just play tricks on him, I won't care about you. But what you are doing now is no longer aboveboard. You were almost captured by that Lan Xuzhi just now, if I hadn’t been following you secretly for fear of your accident, you might have fallen into his hands tonight. Since then, my Xuanzong sect and the Cangyun sect have had even deeper grievances, disciple It is even more impossible to make a good reconciliation between them."

Hong Ling put away her usual charming little junior sister's tone, and said coldly: "Who cares about making friends with them? They Cangyun faction are all scoundrels."

"You're still stubborn. You know you're not Lan Xuzhi's opponent, yet you provoked him, and you actually poisoned him. If they react faster, it may not be so easy to escape." Sikong Lang Jian raised his eyebrows slightly, and continued: "You should give me the antidote. If this matter gets to the ears of the sect masters, and it is found out that our Xuanzong sect did it, not only you and I will be punished, Xuanzong's reputation will also be greatly damaged."

Hong Ling immediately said first: "Impossible! I finally got it, and now I want to send him the antidote myself, unless I'm too free!"

Sikong Lang looked at her quietly for a while, seeing that she had no intention of handing over the antidote, he turned around and said, "Then, I will tell Master about this matter. Since my big brother's words don't work , then let Master handle this matter."

Seeing that he really went far away, Hongling felt depressed and indignant, and clenched her fists nervously.But thinking that Sikong Lang could really do such a thing, after a while he still flew to Sikong Lang, "Senior brother, don't go!"

Sikong Lang stopped and turned to look at her.

Hong Ling only took out another small package of yellow things from her waist, and said: "This package of antidote, take it with water, and you will be fine in an hour." After speaking, he threw the package into the air, and Sikong Lang turned around and caught it.

"Go back quickly, it doesn't look good for a girl dressed like this at all." Sikong Lang joked.

Obviously these words did not relieve the atmosphere at all, Hong Ling glanced away, did not answer, and walked away resentfully.

Hey... this little girl's film, the bigger she gets, the more disobedient she becomes!

Southwest courtyard of Taibai Mountain Villa.

In the room on the side of the courtyard, one person was sitting quietly on the slum, and the other was sitting beside a table and chair, looking anxious.

Mo Qi saw beads of sweat popping up on the forehead of Lan Xu, who was exercising his kung fu to force the poison, and felt as if something was blocked in his heart.

Suddenly, Lan Xu leaned forward and almost fell off the bed.Mo Qi was shocked, and quickly stepped forward to stabilize his body.

"Brother, how is your luck? That poison...is it forced out?"

Lan Xuzhi seemed to have exhausted a lot of internal strength and energy, panting and shaking his head, "It seems that I underestimated those two people. This poison is not an ordinary poison, but rather like those quack monsters. The alchemy used. It is impossible to force out the toxin with internal force."

"Then... what should I do then?" Mo Qi was a little flustered.

Lan Xuzhi sighed, obviously unable to deal with this poison.

Not long after, Lan Xuzhi felt hot and itchy all over, thinking that the toxicity had begun.

Mo Qi saw that Lan Xuzhi's eyes were red with blood, and he kept scratching his whole body with his fingertips. If he didn't do this, he would be tormented to death by this itchy feeling immediately.

"Senior Brother...Senior Brother, don't scratch it, it will break the skin." Mo Qi looked at his senior brother scratching his body mercilessly.

Lan Xuzhi was panting heavily, as if he was insane, "Mo Qi, I feel like there are thousands of insects and ants swimming around in my body, burrowing around in my flesh..."

"Senior Brother...Senior Brother...that's just poisonous, there are no insects and ants in your body, you will be fine." Seeing him like this, Mo Qi was on the verge of crying anxiously, but now he could only comfort him as much as possible.

"But... But I'm so itchy! No! There are so many bugs eating my bone marrow, I want to dig them out!" Lan Xuzhi felt his whole body was getting more and more itchy, and the heart-wrenching feeling had been forgotten by him. in a state of madness.

"Senior brother! Don't..." Mo Qizhi wanted to scratch his hand, and said again, "I'll help you."

As he spoke, he scratched Lan Xuzhi with his hands through a handkerchief.Who ever thought that this not only failed to help Lan Xuzhi stop the painful feeling, but made Lan Xuzhi even more sad.

"Ah!" Lan Xuzhi roared, and immediately pushed Mo Qi down.

Mo Qi was pushed by him and fell to the ground, his forehead hit the ground, with traces of blood oozing from it.

Mo Qi felt dizzy for a moment, and after only a moment's pause, he wanted to get up to check on Lan Xuzhi's condition.

Never let senior brother hurt his own body!

Thinking like this, a flying arrow suddenly flew over from the window and landed heavily on the bedpost.

Seeing that the flying arrows came so quickly, Mo Qi was startled, and wondered secretly, thinking that it was impossible for those two people to attack again, otherwise it would be too risky to do so.He hurriedly walked to the bed and picked up the arrow, with a small package of yellow things and a piece of paper tightly stuck in it.

Mo Qi unfolded the piece of paper, and it was written impressively: The yellow paper ball is the antidote, take it with water, and the poison will disappear after an hour.

Mo Qi held the yellow medicine bag tightly, stared at the words on the paper with half-closed eyes, concentrated for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

Standing up to support Lan Xuzhi, seeing Lan Xu's pain, he is already delirious.Hastily opened the medicine bag, and swallowed the powder and water in the medicine bag with water for Lan Xuzhi.

After Mo Qi settled Lan Xuzhi, he unfolded the little piece of paper from before, and sat quietly on the chair, his eyes slightly raised, his thoughts running fast.

Sikong Lang, it really is you...

In the early morning of the next day, Shangguan Yi summoned the heads and core disciples of various sects to go to the meeting hall of Taibai Mountain Villa, saying that they would plan and discuss specific matters to deal with the Demon Cult there.Since this matter is related to the safety and survival of the entire martial arts world, all the heads and disciples attach great importance to it, and gathered in the meeting hall early.

Baigen Mountain and Qingshan Mountain also arrived early in the morning and sat on the front seats in the North and South corners respectively.

After a while, Shangguan observed that the senior elders and all the disciples in the martial arts forest had arrived, but only the two most important people failed to arrive on time.

Those were the leaders and deputy envoys of the crusade against the Demon Sect, Sikong Lang and Lan Xuzhi, who were just elected the day before yesterday.

At this time, Shangguan noticed that Bai Genshan's face began to show a sullen look, and Qingshan opposite him also had an unsightly expression, frowning again and again.

All the disciples and the master were waiting for Shangguanyi to start presiding over the martial arts meeting, but without the presence of these two people, it would not be able to proceed smoothly.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Bai Genshan got up and said to Shangguan: "Brother Shangguan, I think the meeting can start now."

"But, neither of the disciples who are in charge of the sect is present, so how will the meeting proceed... Let's wait a little longer, so that we can give everyone an explanation." Shangguan Yi solemnly said.

At this time, Qingshan sneered, "Master Bai, I think your eldest disciple drank too much wine, I'm afraid he has forgotten the time."

Hearing this, Bai Genshan smiled instead of anger: "If that's the case, then Your Excellency's eldest apprentice was not present, so it might be suitable for my apprentice to go drinking together?"

"You..." Qingshan was so blocked that he couldn't speak, he just flicked his sleeves, picked up the teacup and took a deep sip.

Shangguanyi saw that the two were getting angry again, but there was nothing he could do.Then he could only say to the rest of the elders and disciples: "Everyone, don't be impatient, please sit quietly for a while."

The crowd also saw that neither Sikong Lang nor Lan Xuzhi were present, and started discussing in low voices. What's more, some people began to doubt whether these two people could take on the important task of crusade against the Demon Cult.

Bai Genshan and Qingshan heard these voices from time to time, and their faces couldn't help it, turning blue and white.

Suddenly, a deep voice sounded, "I'm late, I'm late, the meeting hasn't started yet!" The person who spoke was Sikong Lang, who hurried towards the meeting hall.

Everyone saw his appearance, and felt that he had not had time to comb his hair, so he went straight to the meeting hall. The disciples of other sects burst out laughing when they saw him like this.

Sikong Lang walked to the side of Baigen Mountain, saw that Baigen Mountain didn't even look at him, so he knew something was wrong, he straightened his messy hair and stood obediently behind him in silence.

At this moment, Mo Qi and Lan Xuzhi arrived in the center of the hall one after another.

"I'm sorry everyone, I'm late, I hope it doesn't affect the progress of the meeting." Mo Qi, who was still dressed in dark pattern purple, apologized to everyone.

Seeing Mo Qi, Sikong Lang didn't seem to have any abnormality, only a little skin was scratched on his forehead.But looking at Lan Xuzhi behind him, he was much more haggard, his face was pale, his eye circles were darkened, his breathing seemed to be a little sleepy, and he was struggling to speak, so he just bowed his hands to the crowd and didn't speak.

Sikong Lang knew that the powder from Hongling consumed too much of his internal energy and energy last night, which led to this situation, and he felt uneasy again.

Lan Xuzhi and Mo Qi also walked to the back of Qingshan. When Qingshan saw Lan Xuzhi's appearance, he couldn't help being surprised and said, "Xuzhi, what's wrong with you? Could it be that you are sick?"

"Master, my apprentice is fine. I just got some wind and cold, and it's not a serious problem." Lan Xu's expression flustered for a moment, but he calmed down immediately.

"Well, I'm afraid I caught a cold last night. When the meeting is over, go back and have a good rest. Just don't learn from other disciples and forget about business because of fun." He said, and looked in the direction of Baigen Mountain meaningfully.

At this time, Sikong Lang was also looking at Lan Xuzhi, seeing Qingshan's eyes coming towards this side, he was still thinking: Could it be that Lan Xuzhi has already seen something?

Sikong Lang broke into a cold sweat, seeing Qingshan withdraw his expression, he let go of his hanging heart.At this time, inadvertently, his eyes met Mo Qi again.

When Sikong Lang saw this look, he felt inexplicably familiar, mixed with a little expectation, and there were some...things that he had never seen before that he couldn't understand.

Hey... really crazy.He is not Xiao Qi, not Xiao Qi.It is impossible for Xiao Qi to appear here, and it is impossible to appear in Taibai Mountain Villa!

Sikong Lang shook his head slightly again, trying to wake himself up.

The martial arts conference lasted until noon before it was considered over.

During the period, the heads of various sects and all the elders expressed their opinions, and all the disciples listened attentively.Only Sikong Lang, Mo Qi and Lan Xuzhi seem to be absent-minded and have their own thoughts.

Hearing the end, Sikong Lang only heard that the masters had arranged for him and Lan Xuzhi to crusade against the core disciples of the demon sect as the main force. His confused thoughts took over.

The pain and helplessness of longing, he can finally feel deeply now.

Sikong Lang sighed in his heart, at this time, the martial arts conference was over, and everyone walked out the door one after another.

At this time, a majestic voice pulled Sikong Lang back from his thoughts: "Go back to Xuanzongmen, give me a few days to face the wall and think about it." Bai Genshan's face was as usual, but his words were cold and awe-inspiring.

Although Sikong Lang knew that his late arrival was due to the unexpected situation last night.But because this matter must not be leaked in the slightest, so still did not mention the word, only replied one sentence and then remained silent.

Bai Genshan got up and walked out of the hall, Sikong Lang didn't follow, but planned to go to Taibai Mountain Villa for a walk alone, to relax.

Too many things have happened recently, so I should clear my mind.

Then, he took a jar of wine from the steward and sat alone in the gazebo in the backyard of the villa to drink alone.

It was evening when I returned to the courtyard where I lived.

At this time, Sikong Lang was already a little drunk, and the afterglow of the setting sun seemed to have drunk wine, and the color was also slightly drunk red, stretching Sikong Lang's shadow for a long time.

Back in the room, I saw a small note on the table.

Sikong Lang was puzzled, he couldn't think of anyone in Taibai Mountain Villa who could keep this kind of thing for himself.

Could it be Hongling? Sikong Lang thought for a while, then shook his head, thinking it was impossible.

So he stopped guessing and picked up the small piece of paper slowly.

Junxiu's handwriting is reflected on a small section of white paper: It has been a few days since I left Yiguan.Five miles in the peach forest, drink together when drunk.At this time tomorrow, you may see it beside the stream in the green bamboo forest in Taibai Mountain Villa.

Sikong Lang looked at these extremely ordinary words lying on it, his heart pounded wildly, his hands trembled slightly, his eyes widened, he was too shocked to speak.

This... This is what Xiaoqi left for herself? !

how can that be possible?How could Mo Qi know that he was in Taibai Mountain Villa now, and also knew that he lived in this courtyard?It's incredible.

Suppressing his excitement, he organized his thoughts.

Although there are many unclear things in my mind, but... this note can only be written by Mo Qi.

The peers in Yiguan Town ride together, and the moon in the peach forest in the mountains plays with swords, and the affection is lingering.In this world, besides Mo Qi, who else would know these things?Who else would spend those days with him besides him.

Only him, only Mo Qiyi.

Sikong Lang took the note and looked at it again and again, thinking that the green bamboo forest in Taibai Mountain Villa was not the forest that Mo Qi and Lan Xuzhi caught Hongling that night?Can't help but feel puzzled again.

Xiaoqi wears a mask from the beginning to the end, never showing his true colors to others, and has excellent lightness kung fu, presumably he grew up in a martial arts family.

But... If that's the case, why does he hide it from me, and always refuses to let me see his true face?Also, he said that the two of us cannot be together, why?

Could it be...he is also one of the disciples of the sects participating in the martial arts conference this time?That's why I was afraid of being criticized by other disciples and elders.Because I am the eldest disciple of Xuanzong Sect, why do I have so many worries?And because he was in this villa and had been watching me in the dark, he knew where I lived and wrote me this note.

Sikong Lang suddenly realized.In this way, everything makes sense.

Sikong Lang held the note in his hand, as if he saw Mo Qi.

He is really the stupidest person in the world.

Mo Qi was watching him not far away, but he still didn't know it.

In the evening of the second day, Sikong Lang went to the green bamboo forest behind Taibai Mountain Villa alone.Although it is late spring, the bamboo forest is still green.

At this moment, the sun in the sky penetrated through the clouds, and sprinkled the dense orange light on the emerald green bamboo forest, and the original cold and deep green was also rendered delicate and lively.

Sikong Lang was walking in the forest, his heart was pounding wildly, he was full of anticipation and joy in his uneasiness, and his hands were sweating.

Walking to the depths of the bamboo forest, and continuing to the east for a few miles, the field of vision gradually widened.A slowly flowing stream appeared in front of his eyes.

And just beside this stream, stood a figure of a person.

Although it was just a back, a purple back with long black hair, it still made Sikong Lang's heart tremble.

Sikong Lang stood not far away and looked at the purple figure. At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun was smearing on his body, as if he had merged with the sparkling stream.

Sikong Lang stepped lightly and walked not far from the figure, and called softly: "Xiao Qi."

The purple figure moved slightly when he heard the voice behind him.The breeze picked up and his hair blew slightly, and he slowly turned around.

The man was still wearing half of the silver mask, his purple clothes fluttered, and his figure was still like an exiled fairy, his brilliance flowing.

Really... Is it Xiao Qi who I miss day and night?Sikong Lang seemed to be dreaming, feeling that everything was too unreal.

"Are you... really Xiaoqi?" Sikong Lang tentatively asked softly, and then pinched his hand.

The man chuckled and said, "Sikong Lang, long time no see. You are the leader of the Wulin League, why are you still like this. Of course I am Mo Qi." At the end, he added softly, "Your little Qi .”

Sikong Lang was convinced this time, he secretly scolded himself why he was still asking such stupid questions at this moment, who else could this person be if he wasn't Xiaoqi?

Before he could react, the man continued: "I asked you here this time to tell you. I think I like you, Sikong Lang."

Sikong Lang didn't expect Mo Qi to be so straight-forward to him, and felt unbelievable.

"You... what did you say, can you say it again? I'm not dreaming." Sikong Lang couldn't speak smoothly.

The man laughed again, "Of course you are not dreaming, want me to say it again? I, like you, and I want to be with you forever."

This time Sikong Lang was convinced that he had heard correctly, and hurriedly asked: "But at that time, why did you avoid me, why did you deliberately not accept my feelings?"

"Want to know the answer?" Seeing that Sikong Lang was a little excited, the purple figure asked.

Sikong Lang was waiting for his next words, but the man stretched out his hand and slowly took off the silver mask on his face.

The moment the man took off the mask, Sikong Lang opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe it, and was stunned on the spot.

"This is the answer." With a delicate and warm face, a slight smile makes people feel like a spring breeze.

The person under the mask is actually Lan Xuzhi's younger brother, a disciple of the Cangyun sect named Mo Qi.

Sikong Lang was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and then he said: "You...you are... Lan Xuzhi's younger brother, are you Mo Qi?"

"I'm sorry, I haven't been able to reveal my identity to you. Now you finally understand my difficulties, you know... why I said we can't be together." Mo Qi sighed and said to Sikong.

Sikong Lang was still in shock, but he still felt that something was wrong, and asked eagerly: "When I first met you, you were injured by those dead soldiers in black. Since you know that I am Sikong Lang, why did you see me? Why do I have to wear this mask all the time? Why bother to hurt me with silver needles and let me save you."

Hearing this, Mo Qi turned around suddenly and said, "I couldn't help myself at the time, because the master asked me to perform a special task, and I couldn't reveal my identity to anyone, including the disciples of the four sects. So I had to wear a mask to act. As for hurting you with silver needles, it was also because of the emergency at the time, and I had to do this in order to complete the entire mission without revealing my identity. You...don’t blame me, right?”

Sikong Lang couldn't think calmly at all right now, he tried to sort out the messy thoughts, trying to draw a clear line among them, but he still couldn't sort it out.

"I know, I shouldn't lie to you, but... I can't do anything about it. Later, I gradually fell in love with you, but I am a disciple of the Cangyun sect, but you are the eldest disciple of the Xuanzong sect. Don't say that the two sects are the same. If you are not with Master, you will definitely not let us be together. Even if he agrees to us being together, the two of us will be ridiculed by the disciples of the four major sects, and we will always cover it up. That's why I rejected you indifferently .” Mo Qi said more and more sad and helpless.

Sikong Lang was touched by his emotions, every word he said, all kinds of sadness and helplessness hit his heart.

He pulled Mo Qi tightly, hugged him tightly, and said, "I don't blame you, I don't blame you. You are like this, and it's all because of the grievances in this sect. If you and I both If you're not a disciple of the Four Great Sects, or I'm not a big disciple of Xuanzong Sect, you won't suffer so much because you care about my identity. I should have thought of this earlier, why am I so stupid?"

Leaning on Sikong Lang's shoulder, Mo Qi smiled and said, "It's all over. Do you know that since we parted, I've been thinking about you almost every day and night. Only then did I realize that you have long been in my heart. Rooted. At the beginning, I foolishly tried to forget you, but when I met you again at the martial arts conference a few days ago, I knew that I would never forget you again."

"Isn't it? My junior sister Hong Ling has been saying that you are staring at me. At that time you were staring at me so eagerly, and I haven't responded to you yet, but I really don't understand it." Sikong Lang joked .

Mo Qi didn't care about Sikong Lang's jokes, but said solemnly: "This time, I will not go against my will again because of the bad relationship between Master and the sect."

Sikong Lang also put away his joking smile, and said: "Xiaoqi, no matter how Master and the people in the world try to stop us from laughing at us, I will not separate from you. Even if I am expelled from the master's school."

"You... don't you regret it?" At this moment Mo Qi broke free from his embrace, turned around, stared at the bamboo forest not far away, his expression flickered slightly.

"You... are the most important person in my life." Sikong Lang replied.

Mo Qi put away his flickering look, and teased: "You are really stupid to say you are stupid. I gave you so many hints, but you never thought that I am Mo Qi. Mo Qi and Mo Qi are not the same word. difference?"

Mo Qi... Mo Qi.Isn't it just a homonym?

Sikong Lang slapped his forehead to think of this, and then said: "Mo Qi, you really made my husband rack my brains. However, when I saw you at the banquet, I felt that your figure and Xiao Qi is very similar, and at the time I thought I had been dazed and insane. Then, shall I call you Xiao Qi or Mo Qi from now on?"

Mo Qi paused, "You can call me Mo Qi from now on. Mo Qi is just a name for me when I perform missions while hiding my identity."

After Mo Qi finished speaking, Sikong Lang suddenly thought of something, and said: "Uh... The people who fought with you in the Green Bamboo Forest last night were actually me and Hong Ling. Fortunately, I didn't hurt you at that time. However, your senior brother was still poisoned. I'm really sorry."

Mo Qi smiled: "I thought of this when you gave me the antidote that night."

Sikong Lang apologized embarrassingly: "Your senior brother...he is okay. That little girl Hongling is really getting more and more lawless, even my senior brother can't control her, and I'm afraid it will be the master's words in the future." Listen. I will teach her a lesson later."

"Let's forget it, didn't she give the antidote too? Otherwise, I'm afraid the senior brother will have a hard time that night. Although the senior brother suffered a little bit, but now taking the antidote is no longer a serious problem."

"That's good." After hearing this, Sikong Lang felt relieved and no longer worried about this matter.

"Of course. Brother, he is... fine now." After Mo Qi said this meaningfully, he turned his back to him and reached out to catch the leaves that fell from the sky.

Where Sikong Lang couldn't see, his eyes were instantly filled with coldness and cruelty, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he sneered.
