moonlit night

It is said that under the imperial capital and under the water, above the netherworld, there is a river of death that flows endlessly. If a living person pushes a boat carrying a dead relative into the river, and then lets the boat slowly sink to the bottom of the river along the current, the dead will die. The soul of the soul can be saved and enjoy the peace of the afterlife.

At this moment, a small wooden boat full of white plums was parked on the River of Rebirth. A young man lay quietly in the middle of the white plums, swaying with the undulating plank of the boat. However, the physical body remained the same as before, without any signs of decay, and even more peaceful than when he was alive.

The boatmen who specialize in making a living on this river rarely see such a well-preserved dead person, and upon closer inspection, the demeanor is even more like that of a fairy. After being speechless, I saw a silent Taoist sitting on the bank beside the boat, staring straight at the boat in a daze. , couldn't help leaning over, and asked cautiously: "Dare to ask, who is this big man? Why are you the only one who came to the funeral?"

He repeated it several times, but the Taoist didn't seem to hear it, just immersed in his own thoughts.After being ignored several times, the boatman finally got impatient. He turned his head to look at the slanting sun, and shouted at the Taoist: "Hey, it's almost time, do you have enough money?"

Hearing this, the Taoist's muddy eyes finally moved, but he finally opened his mouth, but instead of answering that the boatman had enough money, he muttered to himself.

The boatman leaned closer and listened carefully, and barely heard him say:

"Brother Qingchen, do you regret this situation?"

Why, it turned out that this dead man was called "Qingchen"?It actually has the same name as the sage on Juechen Peak of Kunwu Mountain.

However, it is really a good name commensurate with the temperament.

It's just that he looks so young, and the Taoist priest's face is full of weather, why did he call him "brother" instead?

The boatman saw the Taoist priest muttering, so he couldn't help kindly persuading him: "This Taoist priest, once this person dies, he will lose all feelings. How can he not regret it later?"

Indeed, death is like a lamp being extinguished, and those loves and hatreds that were once unforgettable are all turned into a handful of ashes in nothingness. With the bones buried in the loess, the dead don't care about it, so why should the living never forget it?

However, how could it not be forgotten?

Wan Qing still ignored the boatman, took out a handful of paper money from her pocket, waved her hand and threw it out towards the boat.Paper money fluttered one after another, some entangled on the man's face, lingering, as if reluctant to leave, some fell into the river, and drifted far away with the rushing water.

"Now he has a new love, with a beautiful woman in his arms, but you want to sink into this icy river, and feed all your flesh and blood to the fish maw. Brother Qingchen, I used to think you were so smart, but only now did I realize that you are nothing more than that .”

The Taoist seemed to be crying and laughing at the same time, and what he said was crazy.The boatman suspected that the man was insane, and he didn't want to get involved in right and wrong. When the time came, he went over and untied the rope, and let the boat go down with the waves.

It was freezing cold on the cold river. Seeing the boat sailing to the middle of the river and about to sink into the water, the boatman was about to go back, but when he turned around, he felt a shock all over his body.

The boat stopped.

The boatman turned pale with shock, and looked around quickly, but found nothing unusual, but when he rubbed his eyes and looked again, he saw a black figure standing upright on the water not far from the boat.

The Taoist on the bank suddenly became agitated, and hissed at the figure: "He is dead now, you are satisfied, what are you doing here? Are you watching a joke?"

The man in black walked along the waves, and when he reached the side of the boat, he finally spoke, his tone was indifferent, as if he didn't care about the life and death of the people on board, he only said:

"I've come to get something that's mine."

But now that person's body is empty, and there is nothing that belongs to others.

Except... a heart.

Yue Qingchen trembled all over, but suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

Where the eye can see, there are only sparse shadows outside the Meiwu window.

It turned out to be just a dream.

The cold side face of the Demon Lord in the dream was still in front of his eyes, Yue Qingchen rubbed his forehead, and suddenly realized that since he told Jun Changye that he was not allowed to enter this courtyard recently, he hadn't dangled in front of his eyes for several days.

Are you really angry?

Jun Changye's mood recently is indeed not very good.

Ever since he communicated with Yue Qingchen, he can't wait to stick to each other all the time.Now back to Juechen Peak, Luo Qingluan and Xiao Ziyuan are not there, Jun Changye is afraid that Yue Qingchen will feel deserted on the mountain, so he tries to find ways to have fun, and he will not hesitate to offend all the plum spirits, just hope to make him happy every day.

However, the master actually said that he would not let me enter his yard in the past few days!

Could this be the legendary seven-day itch? !

Seeing that Luo Qingluan and Xiao Ziyuan both dragged their families back to Juechen Peak, they pretended to return to the teacher's door to thank them, but they were actually looking for an opportunity to show their children to each other.Jun Changye was so angry that he didn't bother Yue Qingchen for a few days, and when he sat with them drinking and eating meat, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Seeing the little girl born to Luo Qingluan hopped to grab Xiao Ziyuan's fat son's ears again, but the kid didn't dare to fight back, he just howled and begged for mercy, Jun Changyeliang swished, "It's quite like a father" , Just drank the stuffy wine one cup at a time, and stopped talking.

His demeanor was already quite serious, but at the moment he was serious and unsmiling. Sitting there, it was like sitting on an evil god. The two children looked at me and I looked at you. No one dared to make trouble anymore, so they ran away Go back to your seat and bury your face in the arms of your parents.

Xiao Ziyuan sensed that something was wrong, and quickly said with a smile: "Hey, who made our junior brother angry? Could it be that he and the master had a problem? It's okay, the couple fight at the head of the bed and make peace at the end of the bed, just coax them."

Jun Changye didn't reply for a long time.

Luo Qingluan took away the wine glass in his hand, and said bluntly: "Come on, you are not good at drinking, so drink less."

But it was too late for her to do it. Jun Changye raised his head and glanced at Luo Qingluan, with a hint of drunkenness in his eyes, and suddenly murmured: "Senior Sister, I don't think he likes me at all."

The senior sister's voice instantly evoked Luo Qingluan's overflowing maternal love. She and Xiao Ziyuan exchanged a look that everyone is responsible for caring for drunks, and quickly said softly: "Impossible, you are so good, Master has always been the best It hurts you."

Jun Changye waved his hand, inadvertently caught a glimpse of the curious eyes of the little daughter in Luo Qingluan's arms, and suddenly thought, "Could it be because I can't bear him a child?"

Xiao Ziyuan almost didn't spit out the wine, couldn't stop laughing, punched him and said: "Junior Brother, you are not lightly drunk!"

Jun Changye shook his head, and was about to reach for the wine again, but was held down by Luo Qingluan.Xiao Ziyuan thought about it for a while, and suddenly said happily: "Well, if you really want to know whether Master cares about you, I have thought of a way, it just depends on whether you are willing to give it a try."

Jun Changye was stunned for a while, then shook his head to sober up, and then said: "Brother, please tell me."

It was rare to be courted so courteously by the younger brother, Xiao Ziyuan became even more excited, and hurriedly offered a plan: "If you say that the most used tricks in the Fengyue field are nothing more than beauty tricks and bitter tricks, you can choose the one that is convenient and use it. The so-called beauty The trick is to find a peerless beauty who matches the master's appetite, and see if he can sit still; the so-called bitter trick... Hey, if you have something to say, don't hit me! Knife, take... Take it away. "

"It was you who hit you." Jun Changye coldly put down the murder weapon in his hand, and after finishing speaking, he poured the wine pot on the blade, then turned and left without looking back.

He went straight to Leng Beixiao's Huoyun Cave.

Yaowang Dongfu is not called Huoyun Cave at first, because its body is a bird, and it is informal, so his subordinates often call his Dongfu by Bird's Nest, which is really vivid and kind.Later, when Mr. Hengwu came, he felt that the word "bird's nest" was really difficult to enter the elegant hall, and saw that there was a fiery red Phoenix forest planted in front of his gate. The flowers were like red phoenixes, and they were like clouds. The words "Huoyun Cave" are inscribed on the door.

The demon king has always followed his wife's lead, seeing that he was willing to write an inscription for himself, he was naturally extremely proud, and boasted everywhere, which made Jun Changye despise and envy him at the same time, and avoided him for a while when he heard him speak.

But right now, it's best to leave this kind of drudgery to Leng Beixiao.

Before entering the door, Jun Changye heard the out-of-tune flute sound floating in the distance, the level of unpleasantness could no longer be described by common sense.After entering the cave, he saw that the monster was intoxicated by the music he played, so he raised the Fengshen Saber with one hand, and then ruthlessly penetrated into the ground.

Leng Beixiao woke up in a jerk, and saw a big hole poked by the Fengshen knife on the ground, and was about to explode, but he heard the culprit say calmly:

"Brother Leng, I have something to ask you, if it works, I will lend you this knife to play with for a month."

This condition is so tempting. The Demon King has been coveting the Conferred God Saber for a long time, but he pretended not to care. He only asked Jun Changye to speak up if he had something to say, and don’t whine about it. After listening to it, he couldn’t help but patted his chest and said:

"Isn't that simple? I'll tie you up right now, brother, and whip dozens of lashes to see if he's worried!"

Yue Qingchen had been busy in Meiwu for a long time, and seeing that everything was finally ready, she planned to go out to find Jun Changye.Unexpectedly, he felt something wrong when he just left the house. He took a closer look and saw a piece of leather nailed into the plum tree in front of him with a flying knife. On it was written crookedly:

"Your lover is in my hands. If you still want to see someone alive, come to Huoyun Cave and fight with me."

At the end, Leng Beixiao's name was boldly signed.

Yue Qingchen frowned, and stared at the word for a long time before she was sure it was for herself.He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then turned his head and told Lingxi to take care of his home, then summoned the Frost and Cold Sword with a wave of his hand, and headed towards the demon world.

By the time he arrived, Jun Changye had already woken up and was tied to a stone pillar in Huoyun Cave, staring at the barbed whip in front of him with a complicated expression.

The magic weapon of the Demon King is really unusual, the whip body alone is as thick as ten ordinary leather whips, not to mention the ferocious barbs on it, it is said that for the realistic effect, it was specially soaked in salt water.Jun Changye was now undressed, with welts criss-crossed on his body, the old wounds healed quickly, and new wounds were added quickly, the wounds covered with salt were burning hot.

You don't even need to look to know it's horrible.

He frowned, endured the pain and said: "Brother Leng, do I have any grudge against you?"

Leng Beixiao chuckled: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get a tiger cub. For your future happiness, I have done this. You should thank me."

After finishing speaking, he gave another slap in the face.

It's for the God Sealing Sword...

Jun Changye closed his eyes, and suddenly thought that when the master was trapped in the Wangurusi Palace, he was much worse than he is now. It is not difficult to imagine how much hatred he must have in his heart. If he really can't like himself, it should be taken for granted .

So now that I am like this, isn't it really making trouble for no reason?

Seeing that Leng Beixiao was tired from beating and was about to change hands, and the master had not arrived, Jun Changye was just about to say forget it, but suddenly he heard the sound of the piano from far to near, and it was striking Passed the Huoyun Cave gate!

He looked up sharply.

Leng Beixiao glanced at Jun Changye, who was in a state of despair, and said impatiently to the Yuebai figure who suddenly appeared at the door: "Your friend is almost destroyed by me, why are you..."

Before he could utter the word "come", he suddenly felt a snow-white sword light approaching him like lightning. He couldn't hold the thick whip firmly in his hand, and he was hit directly on the head and flew out.

Yue Qingchen obviously didn't mean to talk nonsense with him, the first move was the most powerful killing move, and then he pressed on step by step, throwing dozens of strings with his right hand, and if the monster on the other side was careless, he would be killed immediately different place.

Facing such an attack, Leng Beixiao stepped back a dozen steps before stabilizing his figure, but when he dodged, he still couldn't avoid being cut all over his body.He wanted to pick up the whip in embarrassment, but found that the whip was frozen in place.

Seeing that the situation was so bad, Leng Beixiao felt ruthless in his heart, and threw the broken robe to the ground, intending to show his original shape and fight him to death.But at this moment, a voice was suddenly heard:

"Don't stop!"

Qingyi Shengjun walked in quickly, gave Leng Beixiao a hard look, and signaled him not to act rashly, Yue Qingchen went straight to the side of the stone pillar, swung his sword to cut off the chains that bound Jun Changye, and then performed a magic trick. He quickly conjured up a small blanket, wrapped the opponent's blood dripping body, and gently carried it on his back.

After finishing everything, Yue Qingchen walked down the stone steps with Jun Changye on his back, ignored Leng Beixiao, nodded politely at Luo Mingche, and then walked out without swearing or asking what on earth is it.

"It's said that Wang Shu Shengjun has a cold face and a cold heart. When I saw him today, he really deserves his reputation. Brother Jun really deserves to suffer for his fancy." Leng Beixiao looked at the back of the two of them leaving, and couldn't help mumbling.

Luo Mingche sighed, but said: "You are wrong. If Wang Shu didn't take his little apprentice to heart, he wouldn't even come with your clumsy tricks, let alone the truth. I'm with you."

After finishing speaking, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "He is willing to accompany you to finish this scene now, but he just wants to follow his little apprentice's wishes, and he doesn't want to expose it. If this is called cold-hearted, who else in the world has a heart?" Is it hot?"

"Okay, hot, hot, that's a good relationship, and brother Jun has got what he wanted." Leng Beixiao didn't bother to think about so many twists and turns, he just knew that following his wife's words was right, and then flattered him In the past, he hummed: "It's so humiliating, he hit me, I hurt."

"You can't even beat me. What are you doing to get Wang Shu's bad luck? If he didn't keep his hand, you won't be able to walk out completely today because you injured his apprentice all over his body."

Although Luo Mingche was angry at him for arbitrarily advocating such a stupid thing, seeing how pitiful this stupid bird was, his heart ached after all. He took his hand, walked to the side and sat down, bowed his head and said, "Show me."

On the way to reject Chenfeng, Jun Changye has been quietly lying on Yue Qingchen's shoulder, there is a rush of wind whistling past his ears, but he doesn't seem to hear it, he can only hear the heartbeat of himself and the other party, rapid and powerful Gradually merged into one place, entangled to the point of being inseparable.

Boom, boom, boom.

Your heart is like mine.

Jun Changye suddenly felt a little pity that he was already sober, otherwise, he would definitely be able to make a fuss with the strength of alcohol, and ask all the questions that have been tormenting him for the past few days.

However, facing Yue Qingchen's cold and serious back, coupled with his own fault first, Jun Changye still didn't dare to make a mistake, he just buried his head on his shoulder and rubbed it, and softly called out: "Mr. Respect."

As soon as the words fell, Jun Changye felt that the hand holding him behind his back was loosened, as if he was about to throw himself from mid-air, he was shocked in the center of panic, and hurriedly said loudly: "I was wrong, I really know I was wrong Already!"

Just kidding, he didn't believe that the trick he did just now could fool the eyes of the master, so it's better to admit his mistake honestly.

Feeling the hand that was holding him tight again, Jun Changye just let go of his hanging heart, but he heard the other party say slowly: "What should you call me?"

All of a sudden, thousands of thoughts were churning in his heart. Jun Changye picked out the nasty titles such as Mrs. Xianggong and Mrs., but still closed his eyes and looked at him, and he mustered up his courage and said: "Qing...Qingchen, I am really wrong." gone."

"That's right," Yue Qingchen smiled softly, "Every time you call me Shizun, I feel like a scum who is not as good as a beast."

Especially when doing some intense sports, this sense of immoral guilt has reached its peak.But Jun Changye seemed to regard this as a kind of interest, and he called it that every time, as if only in this way could he really feel the connection between the two.

But... Yue Qingchen's eyes dimmed, and a feeling of almost guilt suddenly surged in his heart.

Did I just make him feel insecure?

Feeling the person on his back drooping his head and not speaking, recalling the dream he had last night, Yue Qingchen frowned, and jumped into the courtyard of Meiwu.He put Jun Changye down firmly, then walked over and opened the door, then turned around and said, "I'm going to get something, you come in first."

Before walking into that door, Jun Changye had countless guesses in his mind, but when he really saw the table of steaming food, he was still really taken aback.

He never knew that Master could cook, because whether in Juechen Peak or in the Demon Realm, Yue Qingchen's appearance was always out of the world.

It seems that there are no fireworks in the world, and it will always be high above.

This point, even when trapped in the most embarrassing time in the magic palace, has not changed in the slightest.

Because of this, Jun Changye once felt that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get close to Yue Qingchen.But he is unwilling to force Master to change, because he feels that the person he likes and admires has the right to choose what way to stand in the world.

He can wait until the day when Master is willing to be honest with him.If you can't wait, then keep waiting.

When Yue Qingchen came out, he saw Jun Changye was staring at the table in a daze for the dishes he had spent a lot of time cooking, and couldn't help pretending to relax:

"Why, don't you dare to eat?"

To be honest, he hasn't cooked for a long time, and he has no idea. If he finds something wrong later, he can secretly take it out and throw it away.

Jun Changye turned his head to look at him when he heard the words, as if waking up from a dream, but suddenly lowered his eyes again, and said in a low voice: "Did you do it specially for me?"

His adult voice is actually deep and pleasant, but there is a slight trill in his words, as if worrying about gains and losses, which seems a bit childish.

"Well," Yue Qingchen retracted his hands into his sleeves calmly, walked to his side and said, "Leng Beixiao's attack doesn't matter how serious it is, your injury doesn't matter, right? Show me."

He naturally knew that Jun Changye's self-healing ability was astonishingly good, and the reason why he said that was just to divert the other party's attention from the guilty table of dishes and his hands hidden in his sleeves.

Yue Qingchen thought it was well hidden, but when Jun Changye raised his head, he happened to see his movement, and immediately grabbed the hand that was hiding the thing, wondering: "What is that?"

Yue Qingchen was also embarrassed to play such a child's trick, and seeing that he found out, she stopped hiding, just opened her palm, and showed Jun Changye what she was holding in her hand.

It was two rings, one black and one white, connected by a thin red line in the middle. The black one was like a lacquered night sky, covered with starlight, covering the entire Milky Way; the white one was like a bright moon and clear frost. Looking closely, those lights were clearly seen in Guanghan Palace back then, the real halo of moonlight.

"In my hometown," Yue Qingchen raised his free hand to touch Jun Changye's cheek, and opened his mouth with some difficulty: "If a person falls in love with another person and wants to...seek for the Tao Every couple will buy a pair of these rings as tokens of love. If the person he falls in love with is willing to wear one of them, it means..."

"It means that he is willing to be his Taoist companion, doesn't it?" Jun Changye interrupted him hastily, his eyes were surprisingly bright.

"Yeah, I heard that you want the moon in the sky, so I went to Guanghan Palace to pick it off and put it in this ring." Yue Qingchen had a faint smile between his brows and eyes. Hiding the embarrassment in his heart, he said softly: "What I said before doesn't count. If I choose again, Chang Ye, would you still be willing?"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly fell into an extremely warm and solid embrace. The eyes of the owner who embraced were a little red, and he repeated word by word in his ear: "Why would I not want to?"

Yue Qingchen broke free from his arms little by little, held up the Yuebai ring and said: "Stretch out your hand, I'll take it for you. Let me tell you first, this red thread was obtained from Yuelao. Once you wear it It will disappear, and if you can't untie it, you will be my person for life."

Jun Changye was at his mercy, his eyes closely followed Yue Qingchen's movements, and only said after hearing the words: "I can't ask for it."

Like a boulder that had been hanging in his heart for many years finally fell to the ground, Jun Changye suddenly felt his whole body lighten up, but suddenly remembered something, squinted his eyes and said: "If you want to talk about Master's luck, that is really admirable. Even Fairy Chang'e is willing to give away the moonlight. How, have you ever been tempted by such a beautiful woman with icy muscles and bones?"

As he said, he made a gesture to withdraw his hand, but was held down by Yue Qingchen, without raising his head, he said: "I exchanged the newly folded snow plum for this moon flower and a whole bottle of fresh snow from Juechen Peak. Here, she sent me to the moon, and I returned her the snow on earth, innocent and innocent. What kind of idle jealousy are you eating?"

After finishing speaking, Yue Qingchen admired the ring that had just been put on Jun Changye's ring finger, and said, "That's it, if you dare to blame me in the future..."

The rest of the words were blocked by the oncoming warm lips and teeth, Yue Qingchen felt light in his hand, and then saw that the dark star ring had been held by Jun Changye, and clumsily but firmly, put it on on his ring finger.

With just such a move, he knew the other party's response.

There is no need to say the rest, because——

There will never be such a day.
