The bright moon sits on the ground

Although Tan Rongchong entrusted Nie Qiu to find Xie Mu who was missing,? In fact, there is no need to calculate Xie Mu's location at all, and he only needs to guess briefly to know where he went.

Xu Lang said that Xie Mu disappeared as soon as the boat landed,? But maybe he never left Lingyan Lake?

His bones were buried at the foot of the mountain not far from Lingyan Lake. His remaining entanglements and resentments once lingered at the bottom of the lake. Whether he was happy or sad, sad or angry, no matter whether it was good or bad, he remained here. In the next time, he stopped forever in his beloved city, in the unforgettable lake.The lake is full of water, and the breeze blows, blowing thousands of willow branches.

The wicker hangs low, and the emerald green light brown lightly sweeps across the lake, creating ripples in circles.

And Xie Mu's figure was hidden among the luxuriant branches and leaves. Although he didn't show his figure, Nie Qiu could feel it.

Seeing that he was silent, Nie Qiu pondered for a moment, then called softly: "Xie Mu, I know you are here."

After a long while, the ugly and strange ghost slowly revealed his figure.

He didn't look at Nie Qiu or the boy. His eyes were lowered, and a pair of bulging tiger eyes fixedly stared at Lingyan Lake, as if he wanted to imprint it in his mind.

"Are you here to say goodbye to me?"

"No, I'm here to convey Tan Rongchong's words to you."

Nie Qiu slowed down his speech as much as possible, and told Xie Mu about the situation of Xie's family.

After Xie Mu listened, he didn't say yes or no, and there was only the rustling sound of the breeze in his ears.

He suddenly asked: "Why do you only see the two of you, where is Xu Lang?"

"Master said he still has something to do, so let's go first. I don't know where he is now."

"Forget it, he can go wherever he likes." Xie Mu sighed, stretched out his hand, tapped the lake in front of him with his sharp claws, and said, "After that, Qin Rongchong ordered to block Lingyan Lake, He didn't say how long it will take to unblock, probably wanting to make sure that the grievances are gone before making plans... But I see that the people seem to have dissatisfaction and doubts. He can rest assured that everyone has gone away with the storm and thunder And left, I can guarantee.?"

"They've been stuck here for too long, it's time to let go of their obsessions and reincarnate in peace." He finally looked away and looked at Nie Qiu, "I won't see him anymore. You tell him, the corpse at the bottom of the lake, he All must be salvaged within ten days and placed in a grave."

Xie Mu turned his head and glanced at the boy again, the little boy was tiptoeing to pull the willow branches hanging from the tree, his whole body was enveloped in a vibrant color.

"Did Xu Lang hand him over to you so reassuringly and boldly?"

Nie Qiu calmed down and said, "No, I discussed it with Master and I plan to take him to Bu's house."

Xie Mu thought for a while, "Bujia, it's indeed a good place to go."

He didn't ask why there were still people left in the already decayed and deserted Bu family, just like he never asked who Bu Chenrong was.

"I promised you at the time that I would exchange something for your blood." Xie Mu stretched out his hand and plucked the willow branches. The breeze swayed the willow branches, and swept the boy's immature face twice, causing him to squint his eyes. , sneezed, "Since I promised you, there is no reason to go back on my word, come here."

The boy obediently followed his words and looked at Xie Mu eagerly.

"Connect it, be careful not to drop it." Xie Mu smiled suddenly, took out a square mirror from his arms, and threw it down.

Although the movement was not polite at all, the gentle wind gathered in an instant, supported the square open sky mirror, slowly fell, and finally lay firmly in the boy's palm.

As soon as the Sifang Kaitian Mirror came into contact with the boy's palm, several meteor-like dazzling rays of light streaked across the pitch-black mirror surface, gathering and then spreading out, and among the dots of white light, a majestic mountain surrounded by clouds and mist appeared. , and the next moment it burst apart again, turning into a few snow-white cranes, flying to the four-dimensional beasts protruding inward, and finally gradually disappearing at the edge of the mirror.

Xie Mu was also a little surprised, "It likes you."

Fang Jing's reaction was not so much liking or approval, but more like returning things to their original owners.

The boy tugged on the cuffs, without paying any attention to the smooth and delicate precious fabric, and wiped away some dust on the mirror surface, looking like he couldn't put it down.He raised his head to look at Xie Mu, opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't make a sound, just babbling, seeing that Xie Mu and Nie Qiu really couldn't understand, he stopped.Xie Mu raised his face, and said rather complainingly: "I didn't expect that Xu Lang didn't even come to say goodbye to me."

Saying goodbye and explaining the funeral, what he meant was obvious.

"Are you leaving now?"

"Otherwise, what am I still doing here? The bustle and bustle of Xiayan City, the people and things here have nothing to do with me." The evil ghost jumped down from the branches, and the strong wind blew the ground. The fallen leaves, "I've seen enough, it's time to leave."

The fallen leaves fluttered and danced in the air, and finally landed on the calm lake.

Nie Qiu couldn't help asking: "Aren't you going back home?"

"Home?" He smiled, pointing in the opposite direction from the city gate, "My home used to be there, but it was gone long ago."

Xie Mu would not accept this favor, because he had no intention of going back and taking a look.

What happened to his parents, what happened to his younger brother, what happened to the offspring of the Xie family, it had nothing to do with him.

After so many years, he can't even remember the faces of his family members. He only vaguely remembers the jar of wine buried in the yard. He remembers that his favorite thing is a naive cloth tiger. He remembers when his parents saw him off The tears that fell.

It is enough.

However, Xie Mu thought, in fact, he still has a little selfishness.

How could he not know where Xie's family moved, even if he didn't know, the breeze would bring the news to his ears.

Xie Mu pursed his lips and said, "Actually, I went there yesterday."

After the boat docked, he left Lingyan Lake and nestled at the foot of the mountain, stroking the ground inch by inch. He could feel that what was buried in the ground was his skull, a human skull, with a human shape, not a human skull. Devil's.

So Xie Mu's restless mood gradually calmed down.

Ever since he lost his life because of a miscalculation decades ago, he didn't believe in himself at all.He was actually very scared, afraid that he would not succeed, that he would implicate everyone on board, and that Xiayan City, which carried all his time and memories, would be destroyed in one fell swoop.

Fortunately he succeeded, and fortunately he was still sober.

Fortunately, he is still a "person".

Xie Mu sat at the foot of the mountain, leaning against a willow tree, and gently closed his eyes.

In the violent storm, he actually fell asleep drowsily and had a rare dream.

Whether it was a dream or a memory, Xie Mu couldn't remember clearly, and he couldn't remember the content of the dream, but there was a strong emotion that prompted him to step forward, across the mountains and rivers, and walk towards the city gate step by step , to the Xie's house that he had never been to.

Xie Mu wandered around Xie's house and waited for a whole day. It was not until the next afternoon that Xie's house was devoid of people.

He was right, he really had no intention of going back and taking a look.

He just dug out the jar of wine under the tree when everyone was not at home.

Although the residence has been changed, the place where the wine is buried has not changed much.

If someone saw this scene at this time, they would be too scared to speak: under the flowers, a rusty shovel was digging slowly, digging out the soil one by one, piled it aside, and finally exposed The wine jar buried inside.

Xie Mu went to Xie's house, but saw no one, only took away a jar of wine.

He didn't go back as Xie Mu, but under the despicable name of a wine thief.

The wine thief was very arrogant. He shoveled out the soil and didn't fill it back in, so he exposed the hole clearly.

If the people of Xie's family remember him, they will remember, if they can't remember him, they won't remember, that's all.

Then, he leaned on the willow tree beside Lingyan Lake, crossed his legs, and drank with his head on his head. The wine passed through him and splashed among the willow branches and leaves, moistening the ground, exuding a strong aroma of wine.

Xie Mu narrowed his eyes, as if he was really drunk, and saw the mist on the lake...

In the middle of the mist, a stable and mature child held the arms of a man and a woman, holding a tiger puppet in his arms.

He stretched out his hand and threw the wine jar into the lake, with a plop, the phantom disappeared.

This is enough.

Xie Mu thought, he has no other obsessions.

Nie Qiu asked: "Don't you want to take revenge on the Tan family and let Tan Rongchong reap the consequences?"

The hatred he showed before was not fake.

"The Tan family?" Xie Mu sneered, "Tan Rongchong is the only one left in the Qin family. I admit that even today, I still hate the Tan family and Tan Rongchong, but I have to admit that if he dies, Xiayan City will have a difficult time ahead."

The sky is high and the emperor is far away. All the officials of Xiayan City have a vegetarian meal.

"Besides—"

"I've already calculated that his obsession has long been unable to be realized." He lowered his eyes, not knowing what he thought of, "Living is the greatest torture for him."

After finishing speaking, Xie Mu stretched his muscles and bones, and stopped chatting with them.

He just glanced at Nie Qiu and the boy sideways and casually, and said "I'm leaving".

The young celestial astrologer turned his back to the world of mortals, and all living beings in the world took the first step without any hesitation.

Then came the second step and the third step.

His pace did not stop from the beginning to the end, he just walked on his own until he disappeared at the end of his sight.

The strong wind gradually picked up, blowing the fallen leaves all over the place, and finally scattered Xie Mu's back.

he's gone.

Without looking back once, without saying a word, I just set foot on the road to Huangquan alone.

Disappeared without a sound, except for the fallen leaves whirling with the wind, all the rest of existence was erased, as if he had never set foot in this world, but just passed by by chance, so he glanced at it inadvertently.

Now that I have finished watching, I have to leave.

The wind gradually died down.

By the lake, only Nie Qiu, the boy, and fallen leaves remained.

The author has something to say: the long branch line of Xiayan City has come to an end, and the main line has gradually surfaced

I don’t know if you like Xie Xiaotian Xiangshi~
