Mo Siyou stood under the tree by the dock for a long time, leaning on the rough trunk with his back, his hands clasped in front of his chest, his eyes closed quietly, not knowing what he was thinking, or he was asleep. The wind blew from the direction where the sun had set, crossing the shore against the sparkling river, and ruffled Mo Siyou's black hair.

The purple kite sat on the boardwalk of the pier, her legs hanging from the river, occasionally stirring the ripples on the surface of the water with her toes. When the wind blew, she was raising her head to look at Mo Siyou, looking at his jade-like face as before, much calmer than the river, his fluttering hair was lightly golden by the sun, like a butterfly flying up from a flower, just in time to meet the sinking sunset.

Purple Kite's gaze sank in the faint halo around him, along with her beating heart. It's like many years ago, the clouds were light, the wind was clear, the top of the mountain, the sea of clouds, he looked down on the world, and she only looked up at his face.

For many years, it is still like this, and he is the only one in her eyes, and with him by her side, no matter how many good things in the world are sung in her heart. There was the sound of the boatman shaking the pulp. The boatmen were silent, and the Hakka were silent, and they crossed the river in silence, rushing home before the sunset in the west.

The purple kite gently glanced at the sunset, as if she saw another world behind the aperture.

Master, when are we going home?

The purple kite's thoughts, along with the regular sound of shaking, slowly crossed away. She knew that their home was not at the end of the path where the poplars fell, not in the tranquility of the mountain stream, but under a raging fire, and the wonders of the past were now devastated, and she could never forget them after just one look.

At that time, she began to understand her master's heart, began to understand the pain and helplessness in the heart of the king who ruled the world, and began to understand why Mo Wen was like that. The picture that stayed in her mind for a long time was that he was dressed in a purple robe, playing a bleak flute in the midst of the flames, and his silver hair like a waterfall dancing wildly in the wind, like the pain in his heart.

yes, it was the wailing of his people that echoed in his ears, and it was his homeland that burned as far as he could see......

And they are the ones who started it all!

The small hand secretly clenched into a pink fist. There are some things that Purple Kite doesn't want to think about anymore. She would rather laugh at her cowardice than lose him again!

The purple kite took a deep breath, put down the shackles in her heart, raised an innocent smile on the corner of her mouth, looked at Mo Siyou, and was about to open her mouth to call him.

At this moment, there was a noisy sound in the village, and there was a cry in the midst of the coaxing that was particularly obvious.

"Kill him—"

The voice, like a drowning man, struggling in the deep sea, popped up from time to time to shout with all his might. But this sentence, which was supposed to be a life-saving sentence, turned into a life-threatening word, and the taste completely changed.

Mo Siyou suddenly opened his eyes, and two sharp and cold eyes like goshawks shot out of his eyes, and walked quickly towards the town. The purple kite also broke free from thousands of thoughts and hurriedly ran over with Mo Siyou.

The setting sun had already set below the mountains in the distance, and the few remaining rays of light dyed the still flowing clouds red, and the sky was actually a dazzling red. The faces of a group of townspeople huddled together were all flushed, and among them, Jiang An, who was tied up by five flowers.

"Kill him—"

The townspeople seemed to be angry, and carried Jiang An to an open place in the town.

Purple Kite felt that something was wrong with the scene, and couldn't help but exclaim, "What do they want to do?"

In front of her, Jin Ling had already rushed out, stopped everyone, and shouted loudly: "What are you going to do to Young Master Jiang?"

She was followed by Ma Shuangshuang. Although Ma Shuangshuang was bent on catching demons, she never thought about harming innocent people's lives.

"He has a monster hiding in his house, he is an accomplice of the monster, we are going to kill him!"

"Yes, kill him!"

This menacing answer came from the crowd, and it seemed that they were still very indignant.

"Confused! Young Master Jiang is a human being, a compatriot of yours, he has not done anything that hurts heaven and reason, how can you kill him? Even if he does something, it should be handed over to the government, how can you lynch him?" Jin Ling said sternly.

"He's an accomplice of the youkai and wants to harm us!

"He's damned!"

Listening to the shouts of the crowd, Jin Ling's face became more and more ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "What is his relationship with the monster, it cannot be the responsibility of his death." The Jiang family is also a big family here, and Master Jiang is kind and generous, and he is not kind to you! How can you treat Young Master Jiang like this? He is also a resident of Nuxi Town, and he is one of you!"

"You don't live in the town, of course you're not afraid that he will raise youkai!"

"Yes, you're not from our town, so why do you care about our business? Get out of here!"

The crowd was still indignant, and they insisted on carrying Young Master Jiang away. Young Master Jiang was already weak, and he had been tossed by everyone all afternoon, and he had already been unconscious, but now he stopped and opened his eyes slightly.

"Young Master Jiang was also bewitched by monsters for a while, but he didn't do anything to you. What is the difference between you and monsters killing innocents like this?" Jin Ling said angrily.

The crowd was silent for a moment and looked at each other.

Jiang An, who had regained consciousness a little, sneered and muttered, "Xue Ji didn't confuse me. Xue Ji is a demon, but she is the kindest demon in the world, she has never harmed anyone, and you don't want to harm her......"

"Unrepentant. Ma Shuangshuang shook her head and scolded through gritted teeth. "Young Master Jiang, it's time for this, do you still want to be willing to fall and be in the company of demons?"

"Whether she's a human being or a demon, she's my lady! No matter what you think of her, in my heart, she's kinder than any of you. She couldn't even hurt a rabbit. But you, but you are bent on killing her, you are more terrible than demons!" Jiang An gritted his teeth and said coldly.

When everyone heard this, they immediately pointed at him and scolded, scolding him for helping the monster speak.

"Burn him!" the crowd became agitated again, and bustled forward.

"No!" Jin Ling drew his sword and stood in front of everyone. Since reasoning doesn't make sense, and soft things can't do it, there is only one hard one! She raised her sword and shouted: "Whoever dares to take another step forward, don't blame me for being rude!"

Purple Kite pursed her lips, and Gu Zi said, "What kind of good person are you pretending to be now?" Fang was in the Jiang family's courtyard, didn't she want Young Master Jiang to see the identity of Young Grandma Jiang clearly in front of everyone? If it weren't for that, how could things have come to such a point?

Just as Purple Kite was thinking about this, some of the Jianghu men who were not to be outdone ran out to compete with Jin Ling. What I didn't expect was that a Gu Niang released a Gu worm!

Jin Ling saw a swarm of unusually large black bees buzzing towards him, and retreated again and again. With the sword in her hand, she couldn't cut down these pesky little insects.

Seeing this, Mo Siyou stepped forward quickly, and the palm of his hand spewed fire, burning the bees to death, and the air was suddenly filled with an unpleasant smell of burnt flesh and skin.

The townsfolk didn't give up. Some people carried Jiang An away, but the Gu Niang took out a small bamboo flute and played strange music. In the sound of her flute, countless snakes, insects, rats and ants crawled out all around, crawling towards Mo Siyou.

"Huh?" the purple kite gasped. She had heard of the poisonous snakes and scorpions in Miao Village, and if she was bitten, it would kill her!

"Let's go!" Mo Siyou let out a low sigh, wrapped his arms around the purple kite's waist, and flew up to the roof of the high part of the town. Seeing this, Jin Ling and Ma Shuangshuang had no choice but to go with them. Although her light skills are not as good as Mo Siyou, she can fortunately avoid those things on the ground.

The Gu Niang played desperately, summoning more and more poisonous insects to surround the purple kites and them, preventing them from having a chance to meddle in their affairs.

It was getting darker and darker. The canopy of the deep winter sky was clear and cold, and a few lonely stars hung detachedly. Those few pale yellow clouds of light occasionally disappear into the flowing clouds and lose their color. The sky was pitch black, heavy, as if it was going to fall at any moment.

The townsfolk in the open field had already raised dozens of torches. In the center was a temporary wooden frame, on which Jiang An was tied, surrounded by hay and firewood, and several big men were pouring spirits on it.

They want to burn Jiang An!

"No!" Jin Ling gasped and stared at the half of the sky reflected by the dozens of torches in the night.

Purple Kite turned her head to look at Jin Ling, and said with half anger and half mockery: "Do you see clearly? This is the human race that your descendants of Nuwa have been protecting! How cruel are they, and how are they compared to the demons in your mouth?"

"......" Jin Ling was speechless for a while. As a descendant of Nuwa, from the moment she was born, everything that has been told by her ears is responsibility. These people are all the descendants of the great god Nuwa, that is, her people, but...... Why is everything different from what she imagined? Are the human beings blessed by the great god Nuwa so unreasonable?

"In order to satisfy their own selfish interests, in order to cover up the fear in their hearts, in order to eliminate the so-called threat, people really do anything. Mo Siyou's eyes gathered at the cold light in the night, as if he knew what a cold feeling was.

In fact, he has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has already seen more cruel things than this. How many people have slaughtered aliens and mutilated their own compatriots in the name of justice! He had seen a group of people slaughtering a young demon beast alive, as if they had great hatred, so that the hot blood could be stained all over their hands, but they still had no sense of guilt.

And as a disciple of Green Grass Villa, even if he has never done it himself, he is still a part of the hands of this group of executioners! Sometimes, the most hateful thing is not that those terrible things happen, but watching that kind of thing play out in front of your eyes, but you can't stop it. As it is now - a mob is about to maim their own compatriots!

"If they were going to burn Jiang An, Yukihime would definitely come back to save her husband. With such a serious injury, how could she be able to outrage these wolf-like mobs?" the purple kite frowned worriedly.

Mo Siyou was silent for a moment, the light in his eyes faded out, and after a while, he muttered, "He will come too." ”

"Huh?" Purple Kite didn't understand who the "he" in Mo Siyou's mouth was. Yukihime?, or someone else...... Goblin?

"Burn him—" shouted slogans from the clearing.

A beam of fire rose into the sky.

"Don't!" Jin Ling shouted, his lower body suddenly turned into a snake tail, and the whole person emitted a strong light from beginning to end, illuminating the bleak night sky, destroying all those poisons into ashes, and also shaking away the chaotic Gu Niang.

Everyone was stunned, and stood stunned to look at the strange light in the air, and the human body and snake tail in the light - "monster"!

At this moment, the silver bell on Ma Shuangshuang's waist moved!
