The bright moon sits on the ground

Nie Qiu was fully prepared to go to this Hongmen banquet, but he just wanted to be wrong: they didn't want to suppress him, but they wanted to kill him.

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven had not even officially begun.

Today is indeed not a good day. It is nearly [-] o'clock, but the sky is still gray. Nie Qiu stood aside for a long time with downcast eyes, but he did not wait for the Holy Majesty to announce the start of the grand ceremony.The priest's white robe was heavy and cumbersome. He stood there in a daze for nearly half an hour, and the muscles from his back to his knees began to ache faintly.

The people who joined in the fun in the distance began to chat in low tones. Nie Qiu glanced aside, only to find that those people who had talked and laughed with him at the same table a few days ago were sitting upright with unchanged expressions. There, silent, as if waiting for something to come.

At this time, a letter was quietly handed into the hands of the Holy Majesty.The emperor in yellow robe unfolded the letter paper, and his expression changed accordingly. He stood up suddenly and drew everyone's attention to himself.

The emperor opened his arms, motioning people to look at the unclear sky.

"Today's weather is not beautiful." He turned the letter in his hand to face the crowd, revealing a few big black characters on a white background, "The celestial master in my palace just calculated a hexagram, and the hexagram shows that it is a big ominous person." .”

"It seems that it is not appropriate to hold a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven today." The emperor concluded with a cold expression.

Nie Qiu originally thought it was over, but was suddenly called by the emperor's name.

"Nie Qiu, since you are appointed by the Dao of Heaven, how come you don't know the right time to hold the grand ceremony?"

Nie Qiu suddenly shuddered, and a chill ran up his spine. He covered the surprise in his eyes, and cupped his hands respectfully, "Your Majesty, few people can figure out the choice of heaven. Wan can't understand it like the real Dragon Emperor."

It is not uncommon for the Holy Majesty to provoke Nie Qiu in public, but this time he showed a bit of indomitable posture, "Priest Nie, but I have often heard rumors about you recently. Tell me, don't you?" Because you didn't do your duty as a priest well, did you get rejected by the Dao of Heaven?"

The word "disgust" is too heavy, and Nie Qiu instantly felt like a huge rock was pressed on his shoulders, which almost bent and broke his straight back severely, and then lifted his broken spine from flesh and blood. Pull it out and place it in front of the emperor for careful appreciation.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to those unfounded rumors."

As soon as he said it, he saw an unknown light suddenly lit up in the eyes of the emperor surnamed Qi. Nie Qiu caught a cold breath in his throat, unable to swallow or spit it out, and could only watch helplessly as the emperor waved his hand .

"Rumors? But someone here said that he has evidence." He sneered, "Priest, please explain."

Nie Qiu was suddenly blessed. He raised his head and looked to both sides. Other people with different expressions fell into his eyes. Come out and say the last sentence for him.

He thought of a sentence at the right time: Trees fall and monkeys scatter, walls fall and everyone pushes them away.

A young man with a very friendly face stood up from the sitting crowd. After arranging his clothes, he quickly walked forward, bowed his hands to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please be gentle."

Wen Zhanxing, Wen Zhanxing.Nie Qiu pronounced the name several times.

He is cold by nature, and has never been close to others, but this Wen Zhanxing is the opposite of his temperament, he is a person who likes to make friends very much, has a good heart, has no scheming, and often plays chess with himself.

Unexpectedly, the first person to stand up at this time turned out to be this hero who didn't hear anything outside the window.

"I went to Huang's Mansion a few days ago to see it. You all know that Huang Sheng is one of the famous villains of the Demon Cult, but you should leave room for everything. Hundreds of people in Huang's Mansion were slaughtered, not even children. Let it go, this matter is too extreme!" Wen Zhanxing said solemnly, "Although most of the corpses have been charred black by the fire, there are still a few corpses that are well preserved because they are close to the pool. I carefully inspected those corpses , found that the wounds left on the corpse were all knife wounds, and there are not many people famous for using knives in the world, even less for those with long knives. I, Wen Zhanxing, have never seen anyone with such ruthless knives for so many years. Seeing you once, almost a knife is a fatal wound, and there is no mercy."

"Nie Qiu, just answer me, did you do this?"

Nie Qiu has nothing to refute.In the past, Zhengdao would help him dispose of the corpse secretly, so that people could not see what kind of weapon the wound was caused by, but this time... Nie Qiu looked at each other one by one, and a muffled pain rolled out of his throat. A sneer.

Obviously no one wants to protect him this time.

Seeing that Nie Qiu remained silent, Wen Zhanxing's face changed suddenly, and he choked out a loud sentence from between his teeth, "Nie Qiu, you are really worse than the Devil's Cult! Look, is it worthy of your title of crossing people and helping the world?"

It seems that Wen Zhanxing is the next example of righteousness, Nie Qiu just looked at him, ignoring his stinging ridicule.

Indeed, wouldn't such a warm-hearted and simple-minded hero be more controllable than him, a man favored by heaven?

"Just how can you tell Nie Qiu's saber technique?" At this time, the emperor who had been on the sidelines suddenly said, "I think it's better to let Hero Wen and Priest Nie compete. After Hero Wen has personally experienced it, we should Is it more convincing?"

This shows that they are digging holes for him again.If he wins in the contest with Wen Zhanxing, then Wen Zhanxing can say that he is the hypocrite who slaughtered people. If he loses, it will be even better. The rumor that he was superior because of his appearance some time ago has been confirmed.

Whatever he chooses is a dead end.

The Hanshuang knife had been handed over to the maidservant before the ceremony, if the emperor wanted to prepare weapons for him, he would definitely not return the Hanshuang knife to him directly, let's not mention that.Even if Nie Qiu tried his best to break out of the siege, where could he go?Righteous way no longer tolerates him, and the emperor will definitely cast a net to catch him.

Go back to Nie's house?Nie Qiu looked at Nie Chi. This old-fashioned man was lowering his head to avoid his gaze. He looked like he had nothing to do with him. He was afraid that he would get angry if he looked at him too much.

He could understand what Nie Chi did. After all, there was an entire Nie family behind Nie Chi, so it was impossible for him to ruin his future for a pawn that was about to lose its usefulness, but he still couldn't help but feel chilled.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, the emperor asked himself: "Priest, do you mean that you don't want to compete with Hero Wen?"

"It's okay if you don't want to compete, but do you admit to all these charges?" He slowly uttered a sentence.

In the 24 years of his life, Nie Qiu has never been in such a mess.

Wen Zhanxing took a step forward, stood in front of Nie Qiu, and said with hatred that made people palpitate: "I, Wen Zhanxing, hate a hypocrite like you the most in my life. Nie Qiu, since you have not set an example of righteousness The virtues you should have, then hand over the three pots of moon that shouldn't belong to you."

Nie Qiu said the first sentence.

He raised his head, looked at Wen Zhanxing with those eyes without the slightest trace of fear, slightly lifted his thin lips, and the words he said finally matched his rumor-like meanness and sharpness, "Are you worthy, Wen Zhanxing?"

Are you worthy to use your identity to say this to me?Are you worthy of having the Three Pot Moons?

There are rumors that Fairy Junyao rested in a small wine shop after being demoted to the earth. She drank wine and sat facing the moon. It seemed that she was right in front of her eyes, and she couldn't help remembering her happy life in Tiangong.

Looking at it, Junyao felt as if she had returned to the Heavenly Palace. She raised her head and saw the crescent moon hanging high, just like what she saw in the wine jar, there seemed to be three moons overlapping each other.

She walked out of the restaurant and wanted to touch the moon that was so close, but she didn't notice that she had already walked to the side of the pool. She stepped on the ground and fell into the pool. The moon on the water scattered and shattered into floating streamer.

After that, Fairy Junyao failed to float up again, and the remaining corpse sank to the bottom of the water over time, turning into a treasure.

This is the origin of Sanhuyue, the reason why the emperor had to make him a priest.

In fact, no one knew what this treasure was for, nor did they know whether it really existed.

Until a few years ago, in a natural phenomenon, three crescent moons stood out in the sky, and by coincidence they pointed in the same direction.Everyone looked in that direction, and then saw Nie Qiu standing in a pool, most of his body was submerged under the water, only his palms holding a puddle of water were floating, as if holding three rounds of water. bright moon.

At this time, the moon was already hidden behind the dark clouds, and no one could tell what the moon in Nie Qiu's hand was reflecting.

Perhaps from the moment the emperor had to compromise, he could no longer allow Nie Qiu to exist.

Wen Zhanxing wasn't annoyed when his face was refuted in public, "After all, you shouldn't be a person who ignores human life, Nie Qiu."

"Nie Qiu, the Righteous Way can't tolerate you anymore." The emperor finally said, "Huang Sheng is certainly hateful, but your behavior of killing all women and children is already contrary to the morality upheld by the Righteous Way. The incident in Huang's Mansion a few days ago , and the massacre in Lingshan a few years ago, it probably has something to do with you."

"I will not drive you to the Devil's Cult, because you still have to pay for the innocent souls killed by your men. Nie Qiu, hand over Sanhuyue, and you may still have a good reputation."

At this point, Nie Qiu suddenly wanted to look up to the sky and laugh.

In this life, he is really not happy and unhappy. Nie Qiu has already forgotten when was the last time he laughed sincerely, but at this moment, although a gloomy air is tightly wrapped around his heart and lungs, he is still A kind of pain-like pleasure rose from his heart, causing him to pull the corner of his mouth and laugh.

In this world, black can be called white, and white can be called black.

What is the righteous way, what is the devil's religion.

He's just a scapegoat.

"I don't even know what Sanhuyue is and how to use it, you want me to hand it over?" Nie Qiu opened his arms, and the heavy crown on top of his head slid down with his violent movements, boom He slammed on the ground with a loud sound, "Your Majesty, forgive me for saying that it is impossible. If you really want to, then kill me directly, cut open my flesh and blood, remove my bones, and look at my body Is there anything you want in there?"

The emperor's eyelids twitched. He didn't know where Nie Qiu's confidence came from, but he was sure that Nie Qiu had nothing to do, so he continued: "It seems that you mean that the Three Pot Moons don't exist?"

"Forget it, then I will do as you said, and give you a good time."

The cloud suddenly dissipated, the sky suddenly broke, and the bright, dazzling sunlight hit everyone, and they clearly saw the scandal-ridden model of the righteous way, standing against the light with a look of embarrassment, But he still straightened his spine and looked at the current Holy Majesty.

At this moment, Nie Qiu clearly understood the emperor's mind for the first time.

What he wants is not only his own death, but also the complete collapse of the so-called heaven and gods in the hearts of the world.

Nie Qiu didn't even know when the emperor had placed the executioner in the ceremony. He only felt a sudden pain in the back of his neck, which was so fast that it could hardly be called pain. After a while, Nie Qiu Seeing his body standing upright on the spot, he was still breathing, but his consciousness gradually became blurred.

It turns out that life and death are but a momentary matter.
