Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Sunken Sun, the Short Knife That Can't Fall
A few months ago, when he saw him off outside Bodhi City in the spring, he never imagined that he would meet his former classmate Li Xingyun here again. He couldn't imagine that the reunion after the farewell of the academy would be the scene of drawing a knife to meet like this. The last thing he could imagine was that Li Xingyun actually found Ling'er, and Ling'er, who was a little strange at first sight, was in front of his eyes.
He was happy for Li Xingyun and Ling'er's reunion.
He tried to say something, but found that he forgot what to say.
Because he suddenly realized what he was wearing, suddenly realized the silver-white mask on his face, suddenly realized the sword dripping with blood in his hand, suddenly realized the corpses of the mountain-like townspeople who died under his sword in the temple behind him!
"I'm a killer right now!" he kept reminding himself.
This is not the Bodhi Mountains, let alone the Bodhi Academy.
The righteousness of the former classmates may still exist, but that only exists in the past.
Now he is a killer who obeys his orders, his hands are stained with innocent lives and blood! He has been cultivated by the Moon Shadow Dynasty since he was a child, and he is a killer who only obeys the orders of the Emperor League!
This time, he and his second brother took the Liyang Banner to receive the order, that is, they needed to collect a sufficient number of Yang Souls.
In order to complete this mission, he needs to kill people non-stop.
Kill those unarmed ordinary people!
He found that Li Xingyun's eyes looked at him with extremely strong doubts, he knew very well the stubbornness of Li Xingyun when he was studying, for fear of being recognized, his eyes flickered slightly, and finally dodged from under Li Xingyun's sight.
……
Li Xingyun's eyes were still staring at the figure that walked out of the temple and called out to the second brother.
The man was wearing a black robe, and he couldn't see his figure clearly.
The man's true face was hidden under a silver-white mask, and it was impossible to see it at all.
But Li Xingyun heard the man's voice, and it was very familiar and evoked memories.
A figure came to his mind.
The figure of the Yue brothers, who were the ten sons in the academy, suddenly remembered that the name was taken from the three Yue people who raised their glasses and invited Mingyue to become a three.
The moon phase has always liked to call the three of them as the third brother.
So whether it is the third person in the month or the phase of the moon, they will definitely have the eldest brother and the second brother.
The person who seriously injured himself and Ahri was replaced with the second brother.
Li Xingyun knew that all of this was just speculation. He couldn't just rely on a familiar voice to determine the true identity of that person or these people.
He was a scholar, and he couldn't do such an arbitrary thing, even if he really suspected that the person was the three of his comrades.
……
Li Xingyun clutched his chest and barely stood up.
He stumbled over to Ahri and lifted him to his feet.
He held the iron sword in his hand across his chest, and some powerful Liuzimen classics were brewing in his mind, ready to speak at any time.
If the black-clad leader dared to step forward, he would not hesitate to fight hard.
Because he only has this life left.
……
The black-clothed leader did not approach Li Xingyun and Ahri.
He was still standing where he was.
He noticed the change in the expression in the third brother's eyes. He felt as if he understood something.
He said earlier that for the sake of the Bodhi Academy, he gave Li Xingyun the opportunity to answer the questions in his heart.
In fact, the affection of Bodhi Academy is the affection of his third brother.
There is no old relationship between him and Bodhi Academy, and the person who has an old relationship with the academy has always been his third brother, and the little sister who is favored by the brothers in the palm of his hand during the moon phase.
He is known as the moon and drinks alone!Walk two among the fatherless and motherless orphans cultivated by the Moon Shadow Dynasty!
Yue Duyu glanced at Li Xingyun and Ahri indifferently, then didn't say anything, just put away the sword in his hand and turned away.
The ten black figures in front of the temple also followed the footsteps of Yue Dujiu.
They rubbed shoulders with Li Xingyun.
The three people of the moon who were wearing black robes and hiding their true faces paused, he didn't turn around, and he didn't look back.
He just admonished Li Xingyun a word, and then left.
"It's not safe here, let's get out early. ”
Li Xingyun stayed in place and was slightly stunned.
The moment he passed by, he could conclude that person was Yue Sansan, the ten sons and fellow Yue Sanren in his academy!
He looked in the direction of the group of men in black leaving, and there were more and more questions in his heart that he couldn't understand.
He couldn't understand why the three of them appeared in the nameless town on the border between the Nebula State and the Great Yan Empire. He couldn't figure out what kind of secret the three people of the moon had.
He helped Ahri up the stone steps and walked towards the temple.
He wanted to see what was in the temple.
The door of the ruined temple was wide open.
The remnant sun shone obliquely, illuminating a pool of blood.
Li Xingyun stood in front of the temple with Ahri in his arms, smelling blood.
He stepped in.
His eyes were shocked.
He saw mountains of corpses and a sea of blood...... The townspeople were slaughtered!
……
In an unnamed town on the border between the Great Yan Empire and Xingyun State, a raging fire burns an old temple under the remnant sun.
In the temple are the sleeping townspeople.
Li Xingyun cremated these innocent people.
He carried a half-man-high stone monument and walked with Ahri to the front of the town.
He placed the stele in front of the town sign.
He drew his iron sword and carved three words.
He gave the nameless town a name and erected a monument to these innocent people.
The sun sets in the west of the town and never rises again!
The town is asleep in the sun!
It's a twilight monument!
……
It's getting dark.
An autumn rain fell quietly.
Li Xingyun and Ahri, who were both wounded, left the town and found a natural cave between the barren mountains and mountains for temporary shelter.
This is already the boundary of Nebula State.
Only fifty miles ahead is the Luoqiu Pass in Xingyun Prefecture.
Li Xingyun's hometown is in Luoqiu Village, Luoqiu Pass.
is about to see the remnants of his hometown in the war, Li Xingyun's heart is actually very complicated.
Nostalgia is more timid!
He is cowardly!
……
Autumn rain was falling outside the cave.
The noise of the autumn rain in the mountains and forests was very noisy, covering up all the movement around it, making the cave seem very quiet.
Li Xingyun gradually fell into a deep sleep in a period of distraction.
A bonfire burns in the cave, and the light of the fire reflects Ahri's figure on the cave wall.
Ahri sat cross-legged around the campfire.
She looked up at the sleeping Li Xingyun, with a murderous intent in her eyes.
There was no wind, but the bonfire in the cave was flickering wildly.
A short blade with a cold light appeared in Ahri's hand.
She stood up and approached Li Xingyun.
A picture is reflected on the stone wall of the cave, a picture of Ahri holding a short knife.
The man in the picture raised his blade, but did not stab at the sleeping figure.
Because she heard a voice.
That's a person's name.
Li Xingyun shouted Ling'er's name in his sleep!
