Thirty-fifth Preface The moon is dark and the wind is high

Under the moonlight, a silver-white light was sprinkled, like a thin gauze garment, scattered on the ground.

At night, it was very windy and quiet.

At this time, it is already close to the hour, but in the center of the city, it is still brightly lit, and there are countless people in some night places, enjoying the joy of the night. Even the food street has never declined, the crowd is still there, all kinds of vendors, or couples, are all here to play, so lively.

Outside the city, however, it was a different story.

On one of the towering hillsides, two figures stood proudly in the breeze.

The moonlight sprinkled on their bodies, and both of them were dressed in black, and in the moonlight, the black robes faintly seemed to be shrouded in white gauze.

The branches around him were constantly swaying in the breeze, the leaves rustled, and a few patches of green that could not stand the baptism of the breeze drifted down, some of them fell to the ground, and some of them flew into the distance.

Birds and beasts, at this time, have almost entered a deep sleep, only some nocturnal animals, from time to time to make a little noise, crickets or grasshoppers, the sound of rustling echoes in the ears, or some cold-blooded animals, the sound of crawling on the ground, sometimes emitted.

In this forest full of life, everything seems so beautiful and quiet.

There is no interference from any other factors, there is no noise of human voices, there is only silence.

At this moment, a sound broke the quiet space, startling some of the timid animals and hurriedly fleeing.

"You say, is this the time to collect debts?"

A man raised his head, looked at the bright moon in the sky and said, "At this time, it seems to be quite good........

"At midnight, the soldiers patrolling the streets are the most lazy," another man said, one end of long white hair, draped on the back of his head, under a seat of white hair, a muzzle was faintly revealed, looking down, only to find that on his back, carrying a delicately made spear, metallic texture, under the light of the moon, it looked particularly dazzling, turned around, and slightly foreheadd at the man next to him, "The moon is dark and the wind is high and the killing night is ....... This is the most appropriate time to do it. ”

These two people are Mu Ying and Baili who keep the covenant.

"Is there any problem with your injury?" asked Baili Shouyo.

Mu Ying waved her hand, "After resting for a month, if you haven't recovered yet, wouldn't it be too ridiculous?"

Baili Shouyue nodded, raised his hand, and pointed in a direction in the night, "The branch of the Bai clan is over there, this Bai Dao, usually likes to spend the night outside, but tonight it was detected by my people, but it was chosen in his own mansion." And the purpose of our trip tonight is that location. ”

"Let's go, then. ”

Woohoo

With two sounds, two figures quickly crossed through the woods.

It left behind a splash of dust, and a few fallen leaves on the ground, like a gust of wind, and after a few minutes, calm was restored again.

It's as if nothing happened.

The moonlight is still there, the silence is still there, and everything is so beautiful.

........

Bai's Mansion.

Three large characters, carved on a wide door plaque.

A magnificent building, leaning against a towering hill behind them, was built in a row, and the bottom of the mountain, that is, the location where Mu Ying and the others were at this time, was the gate of this mansion called the Bai Clan.

In the gate, there are hundreds of steps, which are arranged in turn, and its main mansion is on top of these hundreds of steps.

A light jump, Mu Ying and Baili Shou made a promise, and they jumped lightly on the roof tiles, this is outside the city, and there is no patrol of the guards around, and some are just small soldiers patrolling at night in the Bai family.

But after all, it is in the suburbs, and it is usually very comfortable, and for these parade soldiers, they are usually bored, how can they have so much leisure to control the commotion at night. To put it bluntly, in this place where there is not much traffic, how can something unusual happen.

Moreover, the scenery is so beautiful tonight, wouldn't it be better to enjoy the scenery in the night sky?

Thinking about it, one of the soldiers who was parading at night was leaning on the pillar stone beside him, his eyes quietly looking at the bright moon in the sky, and a few clouds gently fluttering beside the bright moonlight, as if the whole person was moving with it.

Whew!

In the silence, two sounds from the eaves reached the soldier's ears.

But instead of making the soldier vigilant, he yawned again, patted his mouth lightly with his palm, and there were a few fluorescent flashes in his eyes, obviously he was about to fall into a deep sleep.

"Sure enough, the upper beam is not right, and the lower beam is crooked!"

The soldier's every move was taken into account by Mu Yinghe who deviated from the contract, and seeing the soldier's appearance, both of them couldn't help but feel a little funny.

"It's no wonder that they are so idle every day, and they will feel bored. Baili Shoujo said softly.

Mu Ying nodded, and then a figure flashed, and it came behind the soldier who was about to fall into a deep sleep.

The soldier, still unaware of what was happening behind him, wiped his eyes, clasped his hands in front of his chest, leaned against the pillar beside him, closed his eyes and prepared to rest.

Swish!

A bloody light flashed softly on the soldier's neck the moment he closed his eyes.

The sudden pain caught the soldier off guard, and he immediately opened his eyes, which were full of fear and incredulity, and his Adam's apple kept floating up and down, trying to shout something, but he couldn't utter half a word.

The feeling of weakness instantly spread throughout his body, and finally, with a thud, the soldier collapsed to the ground.

The blood flowed, wetting a small piece of the ground, and in the moonlight, it looked dazzling.

Mu Ying's figure slowly walked out from the position behind the fallen soldier, the light in his hand flashed, and he withdrew the golden short blade in his hand.

And the figure of Baili Shou Covenant also jumped under the eaves in front of him, and came to Mu Ying's side, looked at the man who fell, and gave Mu Ying a thumbs up.

Mu Ying smiled and pointed to the hundreds of steps in front of her, "We, can we go up from here?"

On the stairs, illuminated by the moonlight, a layer of white light, starting from the first level and extending to the top.

"If you want to be shot into a hornet's nest by soldiers parading at night, go ahead. Baili Shouyo grinned and said, "Although it is said that the night management here is lax, if you walk up so openly, you can see it at a glance." ”

Mu Ying smiled, "Then you hurry up and take me on a good road!"

Baili Shouyu waved his hand, "Come with me." ”

Jumping on one of the eaves, looking down from a high place, looking at the neatly arranged steps, Mu Ying calculated in her heart, this height is probably hundreds of meters high, and on the steps, there are many green dragon carvings, and the top steps are still made of green bricks.

At the end of the stairs, there are tall buildings, on the hillside, there are a few suspended luminous stones distributed around the perimeter of the house, like a magnified magic core, that is not too dazzling light, and the sprinkling of the moonlight, on this eaves, it adds a beauty.

"It's a big formation. Mu Ying couldn't help but sigh, "This is just a young master's mansion, and the formation built is so huge, I really can't imagine what kind of scale it will be if it is in the general mansion." ”

Baili Shoujo laughed, "That's because you haven't seen the construction formation of our Baili clan, find a time, I'll take you to my young master's mansion to observe." ”

Hearing this, Mu Ying couldn't help but glance at Baili Shouyu.

Seeing Mu Ying's eyes, Baili Shouyu couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and then raised his hand and pointed to one of the tall buildings, "The purpose of our trip is that place, that Bai Dao, if it is not what I expected, it is to live in that place." ”

Mu Ying looked in the direction pointed by Baili Shou Covenant, and saw that it was a building with the tallest floor.

On the eaves, there are still a lot of cyan lights flickering, even the walls, are glowing with golden light, and the surrounding buildings, compared to them, all look plain, without any flashes of light, just built of ordinary materials.

"This white way is also powerful, that is, even the houses built are so high-profile. ”

And by this glance he knew which one he dwelt in. ”

"Of course, this playboy spends no less energy on these things than we spend on cultivation. Baili Shoujo smiled, and then waved his palm, "Let's go." ”

After speaking, he turned into a black shadow, jumped a few times on the eaves, and ran to another eaves.

Mu Ying nodded, and then followed.

I have to say that the floor built here is indeed very high, even Mu Ying's physique, under this constant jump, is a little tired.

The two people who were sneaking in the darkness were holding golden short blades in their hands, and along the way, if there were soldiers blocking them, without exception, they all collapsed to the ground in a small piece of blood light.

In the seemingly skillful techniques of the two, the parade soldiers who fell were all lifeless when they had time to make a little noise in the future.

About ten minutes later, the two of them, in a small breath, finally came to the end of the hundred steps.

The high-rise building glowing with golden light, about ten stories high, stood in front of the two of them.

The golden light flickered, not very dazzling, but at a level that was the most comfortable to look at, shining on the bodies of the two.

Seeing this kind of building, Mu Ying couldn't help but sigh again.

"What a local tyrant......."
