Jiayang City is a bustling scene, everyone is well-cultivated, and they even have magical artifacts to protect their bodies when they walk, and they look radiant and gorgeous.It's just that their expressions are always a bit tired - it's not that they are too tired in a day, but that years of pressure have left indelible marks on them.

Mu Xinghe saw the subtle differences in the people's attire and tone, and after careful observation, he realized that not all the aboriginals in Jiayang City were here.

"Jiayang City has such a favorable location, powerful weapons, and a gathering of masters, so it is finally safe..."

"That's not sure. I used to come from Huaihua Island. At that time, there was a craftsman there who made a magic weapon that could shoot the arrow of Frozen Absolute from hundreds of miles away. Four of them were erected on the top of the city. But the sea monster somehow I recovered quickly, but fortunately I escaped quickly, I think our side has become a vast ocean..."

"I don't know where they got their weird spells. I remember that a hundred years ago, sea monsters were at most predators and devour magic weapons. Now they want to return our city to the sea. It's really disgusting!"

"However, Jiayang City doesn't just rely on the magic weapon. It can't move like this, and there is a reason for that."

Mu Xinghe listened to their words and followed their gazes. There was a notice posted on the list, which said that heroes from all over the world were sincerely invited to fight and repel the sea monsters in the nearby seas. If they made contributions, they would be rewarded with magic weapons and so on.Mu Xinghe took a look, and peeled off the notice. The paper used for the notice was very particular, and the spiritual energy was woven into the paper. After peeling it off, the notice on the list was still there. I don't know what kind of magic technique it was.Mu Xinghe pondered for a while, and then he noticed from other people's words that today is the last day to gather local masters this time.

Mu Xinghe was still thinking about where to rest or inquire about news, when two men in soap-colored arrow sleeves and black iron tokens hanging from their waists stopped them. Unveil the person who wants to go to sea?"

Mu Xinghe had just seen the effect of the aura in the announcement, so he was not surprised, and replied: "It's us."

The man nodded and said: "The situation in the sea is dangerous. In order to prevent people from sacrificing in vain, we will test your skills. If you are determined to go, please come with me." Another man looked at them and smiled again. The interface said: "If you come here for the first time, there is a post in the city for those who are willing to fight against sea monsters."

Mu Xinghe and Shen Xiu looked at each other, nodded, and followed.

The officials were not in a hurry to test their strength, they just waited for the test together before going to sea tomorrow, so Mu Xinghe and Shen Xiu stopped at the post station, where there were also many practitioners, and they looked like ordinary people in spirit. It's not the same, not tired, but with a vigor that can be seen at a glance.

Because of the large number of people, they were arranged to rest in the same room. Shen Xiu went to rest in one place to practice and recover his skills as usual, while Mu Xinghe went out for a stroll to see the surroundings.

Because they share the same hatred with sea monsters, they will probably fight side by side in the future, and most of the people are still very friendly. To Mu Xinghe's surprise, someone actually asked him about Shen Xiu.

Shen Xiu's appearance is naturally unforgettable, but the reason why they pay attention to Shen Xiu is that they feel that he is very strong from Shen Xiu's aura, and they want to find out about Shen Xiu's bottom.

In fact, Shen Xiu has only recovered half of her strength now.

Mu Xinghe didn't know Shen Xiu's specific plan—and he felt that it was best not to make a move until Shen Xiu fully recovered, so he just smiled and said that he didn't really know.

The posthouse at night was still a bit noisy, there were interested people playing the piano in the courtyard, Mu Xinghe jumped on the roof to watch the moon, the moon tonight was not as good as last night, but it was still bright.The sky is full of stars, the wind is soft, and the shadows of the trees are shaking. It is a clear night.

Mu Xinghe leaned on his arm, closed his eyes and wanted to sink into the realm, but he smelled a very familiar breath and opened his eyes all at once.

The man's hair was like a crow's feathers, his sleeves were like clouds, his eyes were clear and cold in the moonlight, and there was a little vermilion tear mole at the corner of his eyes, which gave his cold expression a strange warmth.When Mu Xinghe saw him, for some reason, his eyebrows relaxed, and he smiled: "Why are you up, big brother?"

"Just come out and take a look." Shen Xiu found a place beside him and sat down, the sleeve robe brushed against his hand as he moved, and it felt a little cool with the night dew, Mu Xinghe didn't lie down anymore, and sat beside Shen Xiu.

"The moon is so big tonight." Mu Xinghe stayed for a long time, and only said this sentence.

"It's not as good as last night." Shen Xiu didn't think he was boring, so she responded.

Mu Xinghe listened to his voice and smelled his somewhat bitter cold breath, he straightened his legs leisurely and looked up into the distance.There is the sea in the distance, and there are many dangers hidden in the sea, but at this moment, it seems to be still for him.

He lost his mind for a long time, and the sound of the piano below was like a sea tide, wave after wave, getting more and more urgent.

"It's not as good as yours." Mu Xinghe said casually.

Shen Xiu shook her head, and said softly: "He has his state of mind, and I have my state of mind, there is no distinction between superior and inferior."

At this time, Mu Xinghe suddenly thought of something else, and said with a smile: "I think you are so strong, you know magic skills, orthodox Taoism, swordsmanship, and playing the piano - I thought my talent was already very good. Woolen cloth."

Mu Xinghe praised Shen Xiu every day, but Shen Xiu thought for a moment, and said slowly: "Magic skills are based on the power of the innate magic spectrum, sword skills need to be practiced when you are young, and the same is true for musical instruments. You have your own magic skills. The realization of it, given time, there will definitely be achievements that belong to you.”

Mu Xinghe's original intention was not to make Shen Xiu boast about himself—but he could earn money if he had it. He heyed a few times, savoring the momentary happiness in his heart, and said: "You said before that you don't like swords, but You can, that's why Uncle Ji Wang taught you, so why did you learn it when you were young?"

"The sword is a weapon of the nobility." Shen Xiu's eyes drooped slightly, and the long eyelashes covered the glare in his eyes. "Born in a family of bells and lanterns, one must learn something like this."

"I understand, I understand," Mu Xinghe raised his hands, "The shadow of many teenagers' growth is that their families force them to learn this and that!"

Shen Xiu looked at him with an almost imperceptibly soft expression: "Like you?"

"I don't have any," Mu Xingheguang said a little bored, took a blank talisman paper, tore it up and turned it into little fireflies, "I quite like it, but I'm a fast learner. I was bored, so I looked for new things to play with, my parents are very busy, how can I find time to help me continue to look for..."

After the true energy of those shredded papers dissipated, the brilliance also dimmed. Shen Xiu watched the shredded talisman papers ignite and then fall by themselves. It was clearly beside Mu Xinghe, but the voice seemed a little far away.

"I don't actually hate it, I just can't like it."

In his eyes are the clear and quiet moonlight, and the fleeting fire.

His name is Shen Xiu.Shen is the surname of the country, but Xiu is taken from the meaning of "Yun Wuxin came out of Xiu", intending him to dilute the peace and hope that he will not fight.

His elder brother's name is Dai, but he knows how to be Ling Jueding, looking at all the small Dais in the mountains. Compared with the two, the expectations placed by the elders are completely different.

Today's Shen Xiu thinks very clearly that his father and mother fought when their family and country were broken, and the shattered family and country came from the Xiaoqiang. How could they, who had tasted the pain of war and witnessed sacrifice and chaos with their own eyes, see a similar situation? The situation happened again?

What they want to see is brothers and friends respecting each other, sharing weal and woe, and what they want to see is Haiqing, Heyan, and a prosperous world.

But Shen Xiu was still young at that time and didn't understand anything.

He has not been favored since he was a child, and it took him a long time to realize that in other families, the eldest son is responsible, and the youngest son is doted on, but for a long time, he thought that his body was normal.

His parents always liked his elder brother more, perhaps because the elder brother traveled around with his mother when he was still in the womb, and had a friendship of helping each other in the same boat, perhaps because the elder brother fell to the root of the disease due to the bumping, which made people feel more pity, perhaps because The elder brother's birth happened to be when the capital was captured, and the first cry knocked on the gate of the palace city, which had an indelible meaning to them. In the end, he was not as cherished and loved as the elder brother.

When he showed talent beyond ordinary people in many things, the first thing he attracted was not admiration, but jealous eyes.

In the beginning, he never expected the approval of others, but only sought his own happiness from it.As a result, after that, his troubles came one after another-many sympathetic and jealous looks, many words with deep meaning, many impatient instigation and wooing.

He has always been precocious, and other people's eyes can't affect him, so he didn't take it to heart except that he felt troublesome.

But his mother showed a rare closeness to him after that—his mother, who had a legendary life and was always calm and decisive in front of others, frowned in front of him. She said why he was the one who was born, she said That would cause too much trouble, she said with a smile, maybe you haven't heard of it, what does it mean to be named Xiu.

The fault is that he is not the brother.

The elder brother is not bad. Not only has he inherited the talents of his parents, but even with a weak body, his will has always been extraordinary. He will do everything he can think of and try his best to make things the best. Everyone is very satisfied with the status quo .

Before showing his edge.

People are actually very kind to Shen Xiu, and what they expect from him is not to make great achievements, but to live a life of peace and joy.

This is a happy expectation for most people, but Shen Xiu faintly resists such a fate.

——He can be the richest idler, but he can't be too dazzling, and he can't like the things he likes.

He could realize that some people's attitude was for his own good, and he didn't understand, but it was a rare kindness after all.He also precociously accepted such favors, and tried his best to pretend that he was not interested, to eliminate the threat that he did not actually exist.

Thinking about it this way, when Grandma Gu said she would take her away, everyone was probably relieved.

Even if the place he goes is probably far away, there will be no future.

That's for his own good.

When Shen Xiu said this, he smiled lightly. His voice was very low and his expression was very calm. Only by looking carefully could he detect a slight sense of confusion: "I was young at the time, and I actually had resentment in my heart. I was taken away by Grandma Gu. At that time, I thought that I was finally completely given up."

"It's not about giving up." Mu Xinghe looked at his profile seriously, "They let you go."

So when he saw Shen Xiu turning his head to look at him, he smiled.That smile is that the spring breeze melts the ice and snow, the mountain springs flow, and the flowers bloom and the grass grows along the way.Shen Xiu stretched out her hand to smooth the wrinkles between his brows, the coolness of her fingertips still lingered between his brows, making him a little dazed.

"I was young at the time, and I didn't think about anything. Now that I think about it, it seems like a lifetime away. Even I am not the same as before."

Mu Xinghe recalled what Li Tingyun had said about him who had just entered Yunfu with a heavy heart, and was lost for a while—it would have been nice if he had come earlier, he wanted to see Shen Xiu when he was a child, Shen Xiu who felt a little lonely and resentful in his heart , he wanted to heal the grievances in his heart together with him, just as Shen Xiu just healed his grievances.

However, Shen Xiu turned her head away and continued the topic just now: "That's the case, I am afraid of liking in my heart, even if I know in my heart that others are nothing but floating clouds, I subconsciously don't want to let others see where my heart is."

Mu Xinghe lowered his head and laughed.

he knows.Shen Xiu said that he only learned how to use the sword, and he never put all his heart into the spells and seals like him, but he knew that Shen Xiu cherished the sword no less than the sword repairers, and it was true for him. All knowledge has been devoted to it.

"It's okay, it's fine if you're like this," Mu Xinghe imitated his appearance, with a cold face and a flat tone, "'I just learned it by chance', the pretense effect is perfect!"

Shen Xiu couldn't help chuckling, his usually cold face made people dizzy because of this smile, his voice was low, like a mountain spring flowing in the valley: "To be honest, I'm really a little happy."

Mu Xinghe also laughed and pushed him: "I'll just say it!"

Mu Xinghe thought of many things in a mess at that moment, but in the end he only felt really good in his heart.

——Shen Xiu is so good now.

Even if he has never participated in Shen Xiu's life, he can save himself by himself.

The two looked side by side at the stars and the bright moon in the distance. The sound of the piano downstairs stopped at some point, and there was a very soft sound on the street. Mu Xinghe looked over and saw a woman walking in the moonlit night with an umbrella.

The white silk umbrella, with a slender and light figure, is the girl Ah Zhen who just left yesterday.

Ah Zhen also noticed them, raised his head and smiled far away, and with the help of the magic power of the white silk umbrella, he gently landed on the roof.

"Why did you come back?"

Ah Zhen held an umbrella in one hand, and patted his head with the other hand embarrassingly: "I just remembered when I left, and I forgot something, so I turned back. Knowing that you are here, there is a sect that has refined the Beidou Baihong Token, I vaguely feel that there is some cause and effect with you, but I am not sure about it, so it is better to tell you."

Compared with yesterday, her expression was obviously tired, Shen Xiu sighed, and said: "It's hard work for you to walk this far."

She looked at Shen Xiu's reaction, and said with a smile: "If nothing happens, that's the best, let's go."

She left as soon as she said, but Shen Xiu's expression gradually became heavy after she left. He looked at the sky with a full moon and said, "Time is running out. 'Tiandao' is more...impatient than I imagined. "

Holding an umbrella, Ah Zhen walked gently through the silent city at night, the path with jagged tree shadows, and the turbulent ocean under the bright moon, and finally heaved a long and slow sigh.

She looked at the bright moon that seemed so close at hand, and whispered: "Master, I didn't lie to people, I just... didn't tell them everything."

Her eyes reflected the blue waves and the bright moon, full of waves.
