They thought that if the woman had done it, then she would also be counted as a disservice to them, a scourge protected by the government. Although he did not directly take the life of this scourge, he will not be able to make any waves in the future.

This restlessness lasted until the rooster crowed, and finally gradually subsided, and they went back to their houses to sleep. Since the house of the man with the mole was independent, no one wanted to put out the fire, so it was allowed to burn, and the fire burned until dawn.

As for the women who survived, most of them were also snatched by the black mole man at the beginning, and at this time, seeing the black mole man wrecked, the sane woman thought about escaping, and the crazy women were placed somewhere else by the kind people.

Gu Panman rode the pale moonlight for a night's journey, and finally entered the next town when the morning glow stained the sky red. At this time, she felt extremely tired, hungry and sleepy, and when she entered the town, she went straight to an inn, ready to rest, and waited for her men.

Due to the exhaustion of the energy of the night, I could not travel again today no matter what. Not only people must rest, but horses must also rest, otherwise they will be exhausted to death. And Gu Panman didn't want to go on the night road again, so she planned to set off early tomorrow morning. This small town is already on the border of Guilin County, and if the journey is faster and the road is not delayed, she will be able to reach the territory of Anyang County in about ten days.

The days always seemed to pass quietly, and it had been almost a month since Ling Xiao left the Lu Mansion. During these days, she lived a relatively peaceful life in Yiyue Palace, at least she successfully avoided those pervasive spies, and as for some other trivial things she experienced in Yiyue Palace, as long as it was not related to the imperial court, she would not care.

Under the autumn morning sun, the air is slightly cool, and the mist in the distance has not completely dissipated, and it is slightly hazy. The nearby fallen leaves are yellow, and there is a crisp sound at Shi Man's feet. She had been standing here for a while, quietly looking at the light figure practicing her sword in the open space not far away.

The sword moves are complex and changeable, the movements are light and agile, and the scattered dead leaves are dancing with this slender shadow, and the picture reveals a kind of blurry dazzle. Shi Man watched it for a long time, but for her, who was also a perennial sword practitioner, she couldn't remember the one and a half moves of the swordsmanship in front of her, which made her a little surprised.

She thought that maybe the other party had already practiced this set of swordsmanship perfectly, to the point of a kind of integration of human and sword, and the dance speed was too fast, so even if she watched it for so long, she didn't see the reason.

Finally, seeing that the other party had put away the sword, Shi Man calmly walked over, looked at the figure with hair dancing lightly behind him, and called softly: "Miss Ling." ”

Ling Xiao put the sword into the scabbard, turned around and followed the source of the sound just now, Shi Man had already reached the end of the path, stepped on the edge of the clearing, and did not move forward. Ling Xiao smiled back: "Miss Shi, come here so early, is there something wrong?" ”

"The things needed for the sacrifice have been prepared, including the costumes, and they have just been sent to the girl's room, and the palace master asked the girl to look at it first to see if there is anything unsatisfactory, so that it can be added and replaced in time." Shi Man's tone was a little respectful, and he concisely explained the meaning.

Ling Xiao walked over with his sword in his hand, his expression was indifferent, and he said, "Just follow what you have prepared." Miss Stone has been standing here for a long time, hasn't she? Sorry. ”

"It's fine. Presumably, the girl is tired from practicing the sword for so long, so let's go back to the house first. Shi Man turned sideways and gave up more than half of the path, intending to let Ling Xiao go first.

Ling Xiao nodded slightly, and did not hesitate, calmly stepped into the path, walking in front of Shi Man always separated by half a step. She walked along, looking down at the dead leaves falling on the ground, her eyes slightly glazed.

Thinking of the palace sacrifice ceremony the day after tomorrow, there was a layer of sorrow in her expression, and it seemed that this misunderstanding was going to be wrong to the end.

She originally came to Yiyue Palace to solve the problem, but she never thought about it, but the problem became worse and worse, this was not her previous style, but now she is really a little helpless. The explanation was explained as soon as she arrived at Yiyue Palace that day, but Momozhi just didn't believe it, and said that she was deliberately evading the responsibility she bore on her.

Explain it again, she won't give up. For this reason, she did not hesitate to take out the Kun bone mirror and compare it with the moonfall mirror pattern collected by Yi Yue Palace in front of Taozhi, in order to prove that what she said was true, and the mirror in her hand was not a moonfall mirror.

However, the comparison between the two may be due to the fact that the pattern is a pattern after all, and does not show many details of the Moonfall Mirror, and there is no clear size, but from the general appearance, the two mirrors are really similar.

Of course, through Ling Xiao's careful comparison, he actually found the difference between the two. The biggest difference is that the Kun bone mirror has fine ancient bone patterns on it, which is not difficult for Ling Xiao, a person with experience in identifying antiquities, to see that these are not difficult things, so as to affirm that the material of the Kun bone mirror is bone, not meteorite.

But after all, the kun bone is not an ordinary bone, it is too special, and it is very similar to the stone material. Therefore, what Ling Xiao can discover, even if he points it out to a layman, then he may not be able to understand it.

Momozhi is the layman, she has no experience in identifying antiquities, and in her eyes, there is nothing special about the fine lines on the Kun bone mirror, maybe it was gradually formed after a long time, or the meteorite was originally like this.

After all, Momozhi had never seen the actual Moonfall Mirror, and all they had relied on for generations of palace masters was just a pattern. Therefore, she still firmly believes in her own judgment, thinking that it is the Moonfall Mirror. As a result, it was determined that Ling Xiao was the true heir of the palace master of Yiyue Palace, and he still insisted on passing on his position as the palace master to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao felt ridiculous, and refused for a long time, but in the end, Tao Zhi saw that her attitude was firm and her tone was tough, so she had to make a compromise, promising that she could not be the palace master, but asked her to join the Yiyue Palace.

Ling Xiao couldn't directly say that her mirror was actually a kun bone mirror, if the secret of the kun bone mirror was exposed, she didn't know what the consequences would be. Yan Lingchu sent her a bone mirror for self-defense, which was originally a good intention, but she never thought that it would bring her such a dilemma by mistake.

There was no way, Ling Xiao could only take a step back for the time being, and promised Taozhi that, according to what Taozhi said, he would join Yiyue Palace for the time being. But she also has a request, stating that she is only the most ordinary palace person in Yiyue Palace.
