moonlit night

The man fell to his knees, dripping with tears, trying desperately to regain his wife's sanity, but was splashed with blood all over his head and face, coughing continuously, and the suffocation feeling on his neck reached its peak in an instant.

The young woman's severed arm holding the knife was still hanging on the spear, but she passed through Yun Ya's blockade as if she didn't feel any pain, and swooped over without stopping, grabbing the man with her remaining arm neck, and tightened tightly, as if that was not her husband, but her sworn enemy.

Ning Yuanmei could see clearly from the side, that when Cai Yunya intervened, she clearly blocked her attack from the right side, and did not intend to hurt her, but the woman directly slammed into the muzzle of the gun in order to break the attack, forcefully Shengsheng gave up an arm.

While the figure was swaying, fine silver threads flashed across the air, but quickly disappeared in the deep night. Ning Yuanmei's eyes froze, and he shot suddenly, directly hitting the sleeping point of the woman, seeing that although she closed her eyes, The eyes and hands did not stop at all, and the heart immediately understood.

It's puppetry.

"On the roof!" Yunya yelled violently, pointed the golden gun in his hand upwards suddenly, and the thunder light pierced the sky, making the figure hiding in the dark nowhere to hide.

But the other party was obviously not a vegetarian, so when Yunya raised his gun, he dodged and quickly jumped down the eaves. All the people below could see through the flash of lightning was a swirling cyan corner of his clothes.

Cyan...clothes corners.

At that moment, Ning Yuanmei, who followed on the roof, froze in place.

Standing on the eaves, she stared blankly at the direction in which the person disappeared, almost unable to believe her eyes, so that she forgot where she was and forgot to chase after the suspicious puppet operator.

Because of this moment of hesitation, they had lost all opportunities, and after they reacted and chased after him, the man had completely disappeared.

For a while, the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of the man who had escaped from death crying bitterly while hugging his wife was heard.

"What's going on?" Yunya walked to Ning Yuanmei, seeing her face suddenly turned pale, she couldn't help asking worriedly: "Are you okay? Have you seen what that person looks like?"

It was clear that the cold winter had passed, but Ning Yuanmei suddenly felt very cold. She looked around blankly for a few times, subconsciously hugged herself tightly, and said softly: "Zian, I...I think he looks like a person."

Yunya put away the gun, took off her outer robe and put it on Ning Yuanmei, frowned and said, "Who?"

He was very careful to restrain the manic young woman below, and he didn't even see the person at all, but seeing Ning Yuanmei's appearance, he didn't know which direction to guess.

Ning Yuanmei shook his head, closed his eyes and said exhaustedly: "No, I should have misread it, it can't be him."

Yunya has a quick temper, and she doesn't like others not to say anything, but Ning Yuanmei is in front of her, so she can only persuade patiently: "Who the hell is it? Could it be Yue Qingchen? Or the senior brother? Mr. Hengwu? Ah Mae, it doesn't matter whether you are wrong or not, who you look like, you should give us an accurate statement first, otherwise you will miss something, and it will not only involve you and me."

Ning Yuanmei was silent for a moment, something was about to come out, but in the end, she could only say with difficulty:

"All I can see is that the man is wearing a green shirt. You know what the blue color represents, Zi'an."

Hearing this, Yunya's face suddenly sank as if dripping water, Ning Yuanmei didn't wait for him to speak again, she turned around and hurried down the roof.She took out the pills that she carried with her to heal the couple, and connected the woman's broken arm. During the process, she carefully checked her body, but found nothing abnormal.

It seems that when the manipulator fled, he had already destroyed all the silk threads on the young woman's body.

Amid the man's gratitude, Ning Yuanmei stood up with a smile, helped him to help the young woman into the carriage parked at one side, and put a barrier on the carriage, then watched them leave.

Just now Yunya looked around, although she was unwilling, she had to admit that the other party's methods were clever, and there was not a single trace left under her nose.

He walked up to Ning Yuanmei in a little frustration, tilted his head and asked seriously: "I can't catch it anyway, do you think this matter will have something to do with the long-lost Ghost Diaosi?"

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly realized that Ning Yuanmei didn't know about the fact that Mu's family was wiped out by the ghost clan, and he came here specially to prevent her from being sad, so he hastily remedied:

"By the way, you don't really think it's Hengwu, do you? Impossible, no one can be him, he can't do that."

Ning Yuanmei wrapped the outer robe on her body, and felt Yunya's warm body temperature on it. She knew that the other party said this because she was afraid that she would bring up her own sadness again, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. light way:

"Don't worry, I know what Heng Wu is like. As for the past feuds with him, they were just personal grievances and they have passed. The one just now may be just a similar figure."

The two walked back while talking, paying attention to the movement around them vigilantly, but they never found anything else.When they returned to the place where they stopped the carriage, they saw that there was only a jade box neatly placed there, and the attendants and carriages that had been standing there had long since disappeared.

The carriage was slowly advancing on the wide streets of the imperial capital, Yue Qingchen stretched out his hand and pushed aside the curtain outside the window, leaning against the wall with a sleepy expression, watching the lights of Wanjia light up gradually outside.

The episode he encountered just now had already shattered the calm he had pretended to be with silence. Seeing that the end of the year was approaching and the new emperor was about to enthroned, the festive air of the imperial capital was lurking with a dangerous aura.Someone is skillfully weaving a big net, and when the time is right, they will catch all the prey they have already spotted.

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, who is not a humble ant in the Internet?

"When I met Mu Biluo for the first time outside the Lying Chan Temple, I saw her talking to a man wearing a mask. In her words, she mentioned her resentment towards the Luo family many times."

The young man beside him suddenly opened his mouth, shattering Yue Qingchen's long-awaited thoughts of flying away. He turned his head, but because of the darkness of the night, he couldn't see the expression on Jun Changye's face clearly. From his tone, it was judged that the other party was not angry at the moment.

Tonight's Jun Changye seems to be surprisingly patient, which makes Yue Qingchen feel a little strange, but he is not surprised, because he has long been used to it, just listen to him continue:

"At that time, I was stunned by her, but I didn't lose consciousness immediately, and I could still hear their conversations intermittently. The man should be from the Luo family, but he was hanging out with Mu Biluo, who was already in the company of the ghost clan. Wearing a mask, I seem to be afraid of being seen by others. I say this, can Master remember that day?"

His tone was very flat, but with a few words, he brought Yue Qingchen back to that bloody night at the Lying Chan Temple.

At that time, the little apprentice ran away and finally found it, but was tricked by the ghost clan and was injured and passed out.Yue Qingchen was obviously very worried in his heart, but because he wanted to catch the culprit, he couldn't stay by his side. When Jun Changye woke up, he would reprimand him with a cold face, lest he would not know what was good or bad next time, and risk his life take risks.

But when he met the Luo family, he didn't mention a word at that time.

Yue Qingchen thought for a while, looked away from Jun Changye, and said: "Why didn't you tell me then?"

Jun Changye suddenly smiled, his tone seemed to be self-deprecating, but also mocking: "I'm not sure if what I heard is true, if I say nonsense, I'm afraid it will only add to the troubles of the master, so I didn't say a word."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly said with emotion: "I was really stupid at that time. Master was hot and cold to me, but I felt that no matter what you said or did, it was right. I was afraid that I would add a little bit of trouble to you. Trouble, I am afraid that you will think I am cumbersome, and you will never like me again. However, although others may not understand, but this feeling, Master, you must be able to understand."

Yue Qingchen was silent for a moment, but suddenly found that since he reunited with Jun Changye in that way ten years later, he often spoke in such a self-deprecating tone, and his words seemed to suppress deep self-loathing and pain.He knew that the other party's pain came from all aspects, and more than half of it was brought to him by himself, because hatred can bring huge energy, which is enough to help him through the dark time of fate, so that even without his own help, that The boy can also rely on his own ability to gain a firm foothold in the Demon Race.

But looking back now, I feel that this kind of thinking at that time was really ridiculous and contemptible.

I created Jun Changye's nightmare and inner demons by myself, but after creating them, I wanted to get away and leave, pretending that it was for his own good.But later, when he had the opportunity to leave this world completely, he chose to stay, just to make up for it as much as possible, so that the guilt in his heart would not be so strong.

In order to seek peace of mind and let myself fall into this field step by step, thinking about it this way, the retribution in the world actually exists.

It's just that the only thing I didn't expect at the time was that the little boy's feelings for him back then had changed at some point, and what kind of ambiguous feelings were mixed in it. In fact, there were already omens. Cut it off when there is a sign, and things will not develop to this point.

After all, if Jun Changye just hated him purely, it would be better than the two of them facing each other every day, stabbing each other black and blue.

If the young man in front of him is just Jun Changye, Yue Qingchen is willing to give him everything he owns, just to make up for the pain he caused to that young man back then; No matter how high the price is, it must be killed.

But he is both Jun Changye and Mozun. For a moment, shame and hatred are intertwined, and he is in a dilemma. How should he deal with himself?

However, although there is a dilemma, it is absolutely impossible for Yue Qingchen to bow his head and tell all the secrets back then.In many cases, the best time to explain has passed, and if you want to speak again, no matter how extravagant you say, it will sound like a weak rebuttal.

After Jun Changye said that, he sat quietly in the dark, waiting for the other party's response. After a while, he heard Yue Qingchen say indifferently: "If you still have something hidden in your heart, please speak up."

Just such a sentence made Jun Changye suddenly feel very discouraged, and even felt a little resentment in his heart, wondering why even though he had already got him, he could still maintain such a distant and calm posture, as if he was still hanging high in the sky The bright moon has never been polluted by the dust of the world.

In fact, what I want has always been that you and I have a heart-to-heart relationship, without reservation, but you hide too many secrets, and you are too proud, you hide everything in your heart, and you refuse to say a word to others .

But Qingchen, there are many things, no matter how many speculations and rumors from the outside world, I just want to hear you tell me clearly, as long as it is what you say, no matter what its original appearance is, I will believe it is the truth.

But you never bothered to explain to me.

"Actually that day," Jun Changye said suddenly, his eyes glowed with red gold, and his tone of voice was magical, like a demon who is really good at deceiving people: "In addition to hearing about the Luo family, I also heard some things about the teacher. Regarding the ancestor's matter, they said that although the master ancestor followed the demon king in the end, there were quite a few people who fell under her pomegranate skirt back then.

You like her too, and want to do to her what I did to you, don't you? "
