When the scattered red leaves fell, Ah Li's thoughts, along with the strong wind rising on the ancient road, went to the Great Wall and the desert that led to the distant and distant world.

Majestic, ancient wonder, who built it? Who watches over it? Who yearns for it? Who will one day return from it and along the ancient road?

When he was still an adult, Ah Li, who was still sharing the joy of family with his family, was destroyed because of the sudden flame.

"Ah Li, let's go! Go as far as you can, and stay away from those selfish human beings! ”

It was the father's last roar before he was killed, and the mother was already lying in a pool of blood.

Delicate blood sprayed out, like falling autumn leaves, and life withered.

And Ah Li could only helplessly watch his relatives lose their lives, but he couldn't do anything.

"Why?! Why hurt innocent us?! ”

Anger burned in his eyes, Ah Li hugged his father's body that had not yet lost its temperature, and the corners of his eyes were already wet with endless tears.

"Innocent? None of you demons are innocent, and you all deserve to die. ”

The soldier smiled coldly, in this world, there is no place for demon seeds, they are all enemies of mankind, and they are unforgivable lives.

The city at the border was destroyed by the demon seed, and the people fell into despair.

Now, it's time to give the demons a taste of despair.

The cold and ruthless spear was aimed at Ah Li, ready to pierce her life at any moment.

"Why...... We just want to live happily ever after, so why destroy this hard-won happiness......"

Holding his father's corpse and weeping bitterly, Ah Li has lost his fear of death.

At the same time, anger against humanity was also ignited in his heart.

Why, why does the demon seed have to be killed?

We have done nothing wrong, but it is you human beings who have wantonly trampled on the freedom and lives of others!

Secretly grabbing the long sword that fell next to him, Ah Li took advantage of the gap when the soldier did not react, and stabbed the sharp blade into the soldier's thigh.

"Ahh How dare you hurt me?! Go to hell! ”

The soldier was in pain, revealing a fierce face, and the spear in his hand immediately fell towards Ah Li's pupils.

Are you going to die?

Ah Li closed his eyes and waited for death to come.

As long as you die, you can be reunited with your family again......

However, the cold of death did not come for a long time, and Ah Li opened his eyes tremblingly.

It was already the scene that had always existed in his dreams, but as soon as he remembered it, he would immediately revive it: a blonde young man, holding a golden blade, piercing the soldier's body.

The soldier fell in pain and reluctance, and Ah Li also saw the young man's eyes.

Bright as a sea of stars, resolute and sharp.

Perhaps, at that moment, the hope of wanting to live became more and more intense.

It wasn't just the blonde young man's actions alone, beside him, there was another monk in a white robe, extremely mysterious, and the purple light on his chest was also an illusion that he would never forget.

"Live."

These were the only three words the blond young man had said to himself before he was taken away by the white-clothed alchemist.

However, it is also an imprint that will never be erased from the depths of Ah Li's memory.

Stay alive......

At the time of parting, the scattered red leaves scattered on Ah Li's body, silently and reluctantly watching the young man leave.

Later, Ah Li followed this person named Ming Shiyin and entered Chang'an.

From that time on, Ming Shiyin, who called Ah Li the leader, began to teach Ah Li.

"Away, in this world, there has never been absolute justice and absolute error, everything is just your own choice."

"So, that person didn't hesitate to be arrested and put in prison in order to save me...... Was that his choice? ”

"Hehe, everyone has their own justice, that's not unusual."

Facing the bright moon in Chang'an, Ming Shiyin, who has always been mysterious and steady, let out a sigh.

"What to guard, what to desire, what is happiness...... This is an eternal problem for you, me and him. ”

What is guarded, what is desired, what is happiness......

Raising his head and looking at the bright moon in the sky, Ah Li fell into deep thought.

Those who kill their own parents are selfish human beings.

However, it is also human beings who save themselves and do not hesitate to be enemies of human beings.

Ah Li couldn't figure out how to think about it, she wanted to grasp the unreachable shadow in her memory and ask him what the meaning of living was for.

And, what is the meaning of happiness?

Can I who have lost my loved ones and be lonely and helpless reap my own happiness?

......

In Chang'an, a place that contains thousands of lives, even a half-blood demon like Ah Li can have a foothold of his own.

I don't know if it's because of the nature hidden in the blood, Ah Li has been good at dancing since he was a child.

Ah Li was lucky to be chosen by the proprietress of Changle Workshop and became a little dancing girl in the workshop.

And although Ah Li is still underage, she has already experienced a lot of things, but she is extremely mature.

While the girls were still chattering about the new clothes for the New Year, Ah Li was changing his dance steps with the falling snow outside the eaves, and kept practicing.

On a spring day in Chang'an City, the girls in the teaching workshop looked at Ah Li with envy, and the brilliance bloomed in the courtyard surrounded by peony flowers.

Of course, Ah Li also has his own secrets, just like a long time ago, by the long pavilion, holding a folding willow to send each other, but he didn't have the courage to step forward anyway, and only dared to secretly look at the admiring figure and disappear on the long ancient road.

Li Xin went to the Great Wall, the majestic and ancient miracle.

However, when he parted, he turned a blind eye to Ah Li, and his indifferent eyes seemed to say, "Don't follow me." ”

Is this a rejection?

Frustrated, Ah Li can only pin his lovesickness on the red leaves falling on the ancient road, as well as his light dance steps.

However, even if it is just a shadow that exists in a dream, it is extremely happy to pursue it.

We're going to meet again, right? At that time, it will appear before your eyes in a more beautiful form. Ah Li secretly made up his mind.

Until then, it is necessary to carry out the "justice" in your heart to the end.

Even Ah Li, who grew up alone in the workshop, has what she wants to pursue, just like a lonely bird floating away, she also has the right to pursue happiness.

Although the prosperity of Chang'an is as bright as a pearl in the sky, in the dark, there are still countless moths and darkness.

There will never be absolute justice, neither the demon seed nor the human.

Just like there are innocent beings in the demon seed, human beings also have a selfish side.

Whenever there is a curfew, Ah Li, the dancing girl of Changle Fang, becomes a messenger who sneaks in secret, practicing secret justice.

Callous documents, dossiers with implicit meanings, and the fates of many civilians and orphans will be dealt with as instructed.

The wanton oppressors, the greedy moths, and the nobles who disregard human life are either exposed for their crimes, or their true colors are revealed, or they are duly punished for their misdeeds, but the innocent people are given a happy turnaround.

Whenever Ah Li sees people smiling happily, she is also happy about it.

Perhaps, guarding the smiles of others, whether it is a demon seed or a human, it is Ah Li's own happiness.

But......

When Di Renjie, the magistrate of Chang'an, took office, Ah Li's task was a little more dangerous.

The sheriff, who was resolute and regarded the law as infallible, seemed to be a big problem, including the little rat attendant beside him.

Di Renjie doesn't seem to like this kind of secret justice, and he has also explored many times, wanting to track down Ah Li's traces.

However, fortunately, in addition to the leader, there are also Yang Yuhuan, the big sister who plays the natural strings, and Yixing, who is good at chessboard.

The string sound can help you find the direction of the task in the streets of Chang'an, and the chessboard can help you block your breath and make people unable to perceive it.

Until one time, I ran into the reckless young man and almost fell into trouble.

This young man named "Tiger" also has his troubles and indelible pain in his memory.

Ah Li introduced him to Ming Shiyin, so the organization known as "Yaotian" had another member.

Yao Tian ......

The original intention of Ming Shiyin to establish this organization was to create a perfect world, a world where there is no absolute justice, and there is no absolute right or wrong.

However, can such a world really exist?

What Ah Li wants is actually not a perfect world, Ah Li only has one small wish, that is, to harvest his own happiness.

"But, that guy, maybe never come back."

After returning from the desert, Ming Shiyin's expression seemed a little strange, but Ah Li only cared about his words.

The shadow in the dream, can't it come back?

"I said that when a man has chosen his path, there is no room for manoeuvre."

"Chang'an and the Great Wall, since he chose the latter, then he is also destined to play the role of a security guard, hehe......"

Listening to Ming Shiyin's meaning, Li Xin chose the Great Wall in the end.

Perhaps, the little happiness that belongs to you will not come in the end.

However, the thoughts in my heart have not dissipated, although no one can understand myself.

Since you can't pursue your own happiness, let's carry out your dreams and justice to the end.

The light dance steps are active in Changle Fang, just like peonies blooming in spring, attracting everyone's attention.

Ah Li's reputation is like her superb dance steps, with the scattered red leaves, resounding throughout Chang'an.

However, every time I danced, the thoughts in my heart became clearer and clearer.

It's a pity that his figure is no longer easy to find, and he runs infinitely to the other end of the Great Wall.......

Until ————

A tall, thin and handsome young man appeared in his sight, his eyes full of lovesick confusion and pain.

At that time, Ah Li had an illusion, as if he was looking at his former self when he was a teenager.

In my heart, it seems to resonate, the desire and pursuit of happiness.

"She's my girlfriend."

However, Ah Li didn't expect that the young man who was just a one-sided relationship said earth-shattering words, which made her a little surprised and angry.

However, seeing that the young man did not hesitate to offend the powerful in order to help himself, Ah Wei was more grateful.

At that time, Ah Li just looked at him as a warm-hearted person.

After all, the glamorous dancing girl can only be sought after on the stage, but in fact she has no status.

If you can help, you are not a fool, but just like that sword immortal Li Bai, she is full of chivalry.

And when the figure of the young man stood in front of him again, it was a moment of crisis that was about to be torn apart by Li Bai's sword qi.

At that time, Ah Li seemed to have hallucinations.

What blocked Li Bai's sword qi for himself and the tiger was the unreachable shadow that kept appearing in his mind in the past.

Perhaps, from that time on, Ah Li really became interested in this young man who called himself "Yulu".

With great power, what is the pursuit of dreams and justice in your heart?

In the days of contact with Lu Yu, Ah Li found that he was a boy who was good at communicating with girls, and he had many romantic stories.

But even if it is like this, Lu Yu said that he already has a family, which makes Ah Li laugh.

"Yu Lu, if it's you, what is the justice in your mind?"

"I ...... I don't want to see anyone cry anymore, every life has its own right to live. ”

seems to be a little hesitant, but his dream seems to fit with himself.

I don't want to see anyone die of hunger and cold, and I don't want to see life die under the burning flames of war and selfish desires.

This idea was learned by oneself outside of oneself from the mouth of a second person.

"Yulu, do you want to see me dance?"

In order to express his gratitude to Lu Yu for helping him, and also because his dream fits his own, Ah Li danced a dance for Lu Yu that was exclusive to him.

The red leaves are the most affectionate, and a dance sends lovesickness.

For some reason, looking at Lu Yu's deep and resolute pupils, the thoughts in his heart would always flood over.

After the dance, seeing that Lu Yu was about to leave because he was in a hurry, Ah Li cried.

"Ah Li, why are you crying?"

Seeing Ah Li crying, Lu Yu became nervous and at a loss.

yes, why do you cry?

Obviously, what you want, what you desire, has been working silently, isn't it?

However, the small longing in my heart is full of longing for my own happiness.

Yulu, can you understand my heart?

Why, when I'm with you, I can't stand the pain of lovesickness?

just gently hugged Lu Yu as a separation, and quickly left him, but Ah Li's heart was extremely reluctant.

The back of leaving made the unwillingness and longing in my heart surge up.

Yuriku, will you tell me, what is true happiness?

The longing for Yu Lu lasted until the moment he carried out the mission in the rain, and Ah Li finally understood.

It turns out that what he pursues, what he desires, is his own choice.

Even if his name isn't Yulu, that's okay.

The chief said that once the choice was made, there was no turning back.

However, when facing Lu Yu, Ah Li felt that everything would turn around.

What I hope for is not a perfect world. I want to work together with my loved ones who are in line with my dreams, and I have dreams for my own happiness.

Even if the other side of that dream is still far away, if you go down with him, one day, you will reach it. Ah Li secretly made up his mind.
