As Qingze's injuries slowly healed, Gui Mo gradually let go of his prejudice against demons, and the relationship between Yexi and them gradually deepened. In addition, Su Wan always likes to run to her, so sometimes the four of them will get together, or go out to go out, or make wine, and sometimes they just find a quiet place to sit, and then chat with each other, waiting to see the sunset glow.

During this period, Su Wan also dragged her to Huitong Academy to see how Ze taught children. Not to mention anything else, Guangqing Ze's gentle and gentle appearance, who seems to have no temper with anyone, and always has a warm smile on the corner of his mouth, is naturally much more popular than those serious-looking and old-fashioned masters. What's more, his teaching methods are not the same as other masters, he advocates not only books, but also practice, as the so-called "read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles", so Qing Ze will take the children around as soon as he has time, and implement this famous saying very thoroughly with his own actions.

As for the end......

If she hadn't met by chance that day, she probably wouldn't have known what a human being, what a demon is, and what is an unbridgeable gap between the two.

On that day, Su Wan and her, plus Qing Ze, went to the Yuelao Temple outside the city together.

Originally, she didn't believe much in these things, and she didn't have any marriage requirements, but she couldn't resist Su Wan, so she finally nodded and agreed. And Qing Ze was also the one who Su Wan wanted to pull him with him temporarily. Say that it is too boring for two people to go to Yunyun should pull a few more people to go to Yunyun anyway When he finally found Qing Ze who was resting at home, he listened to the intention, and just looked at Yexi who was silent on the side with a somewhat helpless expression, and then smiled and bowed slightly.

Because she invited the person she wanted to invite, Su Wan was very happy all the way, and ran to the front to lead the way, leaving Qing Ze and Yexi to chat in the back.

When I came to the Yuelao Temple, I found that there were a lot of people here, and most of them were women in their twenty-eighth years. Qing Ze saw that she was a little surprised, smiled slightly, and explained: "The Yuelao Temple here is very effective, so it is also very famous, and there are many people who come to pray every day. After that, he looked at Su Wan, who was also a little stunned as he watched the people coming and going, "Ah Wan, if you want to ask for a good marriage, you won't be happy at this time, and you won't be able to enter later." ”

Su Wan came back to her senses when she heard Qing Ze's words, and hurriedly ran to the temple, and said as she ran: "Sister Yexi, I'm going in first! You are waiting for me outside!"

Yexi looked at her figure and smiled helplessly: "This girl is always so reckless, ...... in the future"

"Who knows what will happen in the future?"

Ye Xi was stunned, turned his head to look at Qing Ze beside him, and found that he was also looking in the direction Su Wan left. As if sensing that someone was looking at him, he turned his head, hooked the corners of his mouth, and smiled lightly: "Isn't it?"

Yexi looked at him, and didn't know how to answer for a while, so she closed her eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "That's what I said." She looked up at the horizon, where a few lines of geese were flying south, "Who can say what will happen in the future......

As this sentence that seemed to sigh lightly fell, the smile on the corner of Qing Ze's mouth also narrowed slightly, and her eyes reflected the appearance of her wish to raise her head, which was so deep that she couldn't see the bottom.

The two didn't know how long they were silent like this, and Qing Ze looked away, and then landed on a big tree covered with red cloth not far away. There were many people holding the same strip of cloth around the tree, Qing Ze looked at it and thought for a while, and then proposed: "Do you want to ask for a wish?" After speaking, before Ye Xi could answer, he raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the tree, and added, "Very spiritual." ”

Yexi looked in the direction he was pointing, and was silent for a while, thinking that it was not a way to wait like this, it was better to find something to do, so he didn't refuse his proposal, and nodded.

Qing Ze smiled when he saw this, grabbed her sleeve and led her to the tree. Ye Xi was about to struggle because of his movements, but found that it was nothing, so he let him pull it.

In this way, the two of them walked to the place where the big tree was, each asked for a prayer belt, and when he spread it on the table and picked up a pen stained with golden gold to write his wishes, Ye Xi suddenly realized that he had nothing to fulfill.

When she found out about this, she didn't put pen to paper for a long time, and it wasn't until Qing Ze finished writing and hung the prayer tape on the tree and turned her head to look at her, looking at the empty prayer tape on the table, that she came back to her senses under Qing Ze's reminder.

"Night, what's wrong with you? Why don't you write?"

Yexi's body was stunned, looked at the bright red prayer tape spread under the pen, was silent for a moment, and then slowly put down the golden pen in his hand, and said softly: "Don't write, I'...... There is no desire. ”

Qing Ze looked at her side face and was stunned, and then the corners of his mouth pulled a slight smile: "Really?"

Yexi nodded.

"But if that's it, it's unlucky. Qing Ze looked at the prayer belt on the table with some headaches, frowned and thought for a moment, as if thinking of something, picked up the golden pen on the table, and said, "But if you really don't have it, let me write it for you." After speaking, he didn't wait for Ye Xi to answer, and wrote a few words on it.

Yexi was stunned, and subconsciously leaned over to take a look, only to see the prayer with gold characters on a red background, written "I wish people a long time".

Qing Ze saw that she didn't respond for a long time, so he asked, "How?"

"Good. Ye Xi came back to his senses, reached out and picked up the prayer belt, and then walked to the tree and tied it. She took a few steps back, her eyes reflecting its fluttering in the wind, and she turned her head to look at Qing Ze as if she remembered something, "But...... Why did you write this poem?"

Yexi looked at him and asked. Although she knew that it was rude to ask such a question, she did want to know what kind of past the people who could write such a wish as "May people be long".

May people last a long time.

Even if you are thousands of miles away, I hope that the people I miss will live a long and healthy life.

He is obviously a person who is in love, but he hides it too well, if it weren't for this time, I am afraid I would not be able to see it, and I will always think that he is the young master who always has a warm smile on the corner of his mouth and looks very chic with a clean breeze on his sleeves.

Qing Ze glanced at Ye Xi, then put his eyes on the big tree covered with red prayer bands, and was silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "Ye Xi, have you ever had a sweetheart?"

Ye Xi was stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something, he lowered his head and was silent, but a touch of crimson gradually rose at the base of his ears.

I didn't wait for her answer for a long time, and Qing Ze didn't seem to want to wait any longer, so he asked himself and answered: "I had, but in the end, I did something to hurt her." He turned to look at her, a smile on his lips, "So I can't forgive myself until now, and I don't dare to appear in front of her, but as long as she is doing well, it is enough." Isn't it?"

On the way back, Yexi kept thinking about what Kiyonori told her under the tree today. Although those words are not very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the corners of his mouth have been smiling when he says those words, but for some reason, she always feels that under those smiles, there is endless bitterness.

But...... Ye Xi quietly turned his head to look at the people walking beside him, can a person really hide his emotions so well? Why can he keep all his unhappy and sad things in his heart, and laugh at others? In this way, isn't it uncomfortable? Or ...... Already used to it?

Thinking like this, Ye Xi unconsciously walked to the intersection where they wanted to separate. Su Wan was the first to wave her hand to say goodbye to them, and Qing Ze watched her figure gradually disappear into the darkness, and after saying a word or two to Yexi, she also turned around and walked towards the street where her house was located. Yexi watched the two of them gradually disappear before turning around and slowly walking along the road home.

Night and night walked very slowly, with a thoughtful expression on his face. At this time, it was already night, and there was only a crescent moon hanging on the canopy, and there were no stars at all, which looked very depressing. And at this moment, there was a faint, somewhat strange smell in the air, which seemed to be mixed with some chasing sounds.

After a pause, he subconsciously looked up, only to see two figures flashing on the roof not far away, one large and one small, the small shadow could not see the face clearly, but the big shadow could clearly see the peachwood sword with a faint golden glow in his hand.

Ye Xi was stunned for a while, and after thinking for a while, he picked up and followed. It's so late, what are you doing here? Could it be ......

As if thinking of something, she was startled, and the speed under her feet was a little faster.

Two shadows fell from the rooftop, the smaller one falling as if it had been kicked and fell to the ground, splashing a puff of dust.

Gui Mo also flew down from the roof, the golden peach sword in his hand became more and more powerful, he held the sword and slowly walked towards the person who fell to the ground, there was no expression on his face, and the cold in his inky eyes was like an iceberg that would not melt for thousands of years.

"Don't waste your efforts, you can't escape. ”

The man who fell to the ground raised his head with difficulty, and his still immature face was full of panic, and he looked like he was only eleven or twelve years old. His emerald green robe was covered with dust, and his hair was scattered from running, and he looked embarrassed. He watched Gui Mo walk in step by step, and finally showed a collapse look in his eyes, wiping his eyes and crying "wow".

"Wow!Don't kill me...... Don't kill my big brother!"

At the end of the year, his eyes reflected his crying appearance, but his expression did not loosen in the slightest, but the hand holding the sword became tighter and tighter, and just as he was about to draw the sword, a water-colored figure suddenly fell in front of him.

"Stop!!"

Gui Mo stopped abruptly and looked at the man in disbelief: "Night?"

Yexi stretched out her hand to block the child, her clothes were a little messy because she was chasing them, she gasped slightly, and her voice was pleading: "Gui Mo, don't kill him, he's just a child." ”

Gui Mo's originally surprised look gradually disappeared without a trace with this sentence, he looked at the bamboo demon who was protected by Yexi and stopped crying, looking at him with a pair of eyes open and fearful, snorted coldly, and said, "Child, have you ever seen a child who kills people at such a young age?"

Yexi's body stiffened, and she turned her head to look at the person behind her as if she didn't believe it, wanting him to explain. But I saw him wipe the corners of his eyes and lower his head, and whispered: "I'm just hungry......"

"Can you kill people when you're hungry?" Gui Mo snorted, his expression grim. The bamboo demon trembled in fright when he heard this, and grabbed the corner of Yexi's clothes and shrunk his body even smaller.

"He ......"

Yexi looked at the two of them, and just wanted to defend him, but he didn't know how to say it. In the end, it is true, no matter who it is, no matter what happens, killing people is not allowed, let alone ...... She looked at the bamboo demon shrinking behind her, it was a demon who made a wrong step.

Yexi lowered her head and was silent, and said in a somewhat weak voice: "But no matter what...... In the end, he was still just a child, so he ......, "So, can you let him live?"

"Shut up!" Gui Mo snorted softly, and walked quickly in the direction where the two of them were. The long sword in his hand burst out with a strong golden glow, and he looked at Ye Xi, who was still blocking in front of the bamboo demon, and frowned, "Get out of the way!"

"Return to the end ......" Yexi looked at him and pleaded, "Since you were able to let me go, why didn't you let him go?"

After hearing this, the green tendons on his forehead jumped, and he stopped talking nonsense with her, and rushed in her direction with his sword. The bamboo demon was so frightened that he grabbed the corner of Yexi's clothes, and Yexi also closed his eyes a little resolutely when he saw this, as if waiting for the most fatal blow.

But in the next second, she only felt a dizziness, and the fierce wind blew across her cheeks and went straight to the back. Yexi was startled, and just wanted to open her eyes, but a hand covered her eyes in time at this time. And when everything around him was calm, the hand slowly let go.

Yexi slowly opened her eyes, even if she knew the final result, she wanted to confirm it with her own eyes, sure enough, it was ...... The child who was tugging at the corner of her dress was gone, and only a few pieces of broken green clothes remained on the ground. Yexi pushed away Gui Mo's hand, one of them staggered a few steps without standing firm, and lowered his head for a long time before saying, "Why ......?"

Gui Mo looked at her and was silent.

"Why can you let him go, but you want to ......" and kill him. Could it be that in the eyes of you people, human life is life, and the life of demons is not life?

Gui Mo let her question, put the sword into the scabbard with his backhand, and then turned to leave, a deep voice accompanied by the night wind far away: "Yexi, this is my duty. ”

Yexi looked at his back gradually moving away, and his eyes were full of confusion: "Then why didn't you kill me in the first place......"

The steps of the return to the end paused, but did not look back. He was silent for a moment, then whispered, as if there was something suppressed in his voice.

"What do you think......?"

After speaking, he didn't wait for her to answer, and flew towards the continuous house, and a few ups and downs disappeared. Only Yexi was left alone, stunned as he looked in the direction he left.
