Bright Moon girl, have you finally finished walking the horse?

Looking at the bright moon that suddenly appeared in front of him, Xiao Xia finally breathed a big sigh of relief, and almost sat down.

"The master of the Sidi?" a horse thief leader was so frightened by the sudden appearance of the woman that he jumped to the side, and looked carefully with a wary face.

"No" The other horse thief leader seemed to have a little more brains than him, and he could see that this woman was not dressed as a Sidi, and there were very few women in the Sidi who would come out to fight, not to mention what this woman had just said to this guy with a very good face

"This kid is a spy~!He was all nonsense~!" The leader of the horse thieves was indeed a little clever, and he judged the truth at once, jumped up and slashed at Xiao Xia with a knife.

Looking at the slashing saber, Xiao Xia didn't dodge, and he didn't parry. Since his subordinates, ah, no, it's Miss Mingyue who has already come, he naturally doesn't have to worry about this.

Sure enough, Miss Mingyue's little hand just lightly slapped the wrist of the horse thief leader with a knife, and the horse thief leader's wrist deviated towards another very strange angle, and this knife naturally did not cut Xiao Xia, but cut off half of the palm of his own other hand. Then Mingyue's figure flickered, and dozens of Mingyue's figures appeared in the already collapsed group of horse thieves, they either kicked, or hit, or patted, or slapped, and all the horse thieves in this area fell down with a wail.

Dozens of figures recombined into one again, and Mingyue appeared in front of the blood demon cow that was still scurrying around, stretched out her hand and gently pressed it on the blood cow's forehead, and then the tyrannical and bloody giant monster stopped.

"All sentient beings and the like, if they are oviparous, if they are viviparous, if they are wet, if they are incarnated, if they are colored, if they are colorless, if they have thoughts, if they have no thoughts, if they do not have thoughts, if they do not have thoughts, I will cause them to enter nirvana and perish."

It's still the scripture that detoxified Xiao Xia that time, but this seems to have a miraculous effect when used on the blood cow now. With the sound in Mingyue's mouth, the blood cow let out a long moo as if relieved, first the spell drawn on it by the three masters gradually dissipated, and then the mud fused with blood on the body fell one after another, revealing the true body of the black cow below. The black bull's eyes, which were originally bloodshot, gradually became clearer, and he shed two big tears when he looked at the bright moon in front of him, and then he fell to the ground and died.

For a while, it was very noisy just now, and the mountain col that was fighting and shaking the sky suddenly calmed down, leaving only the wailing horse thieves on the ground. Those who were standing by the truck looked at Xiao Xia and Mingyue standing alone in the field in a daze.

However, there is still a place not far from them that is still fierce, hearty, and unstoppable, that is, the pair of the big boss and the young swordsman.

The big boss foamed at the mouth, his face was full of hideousness, as if he didn't care at all about what was happening here, like a crazy bulldog, he put all his energy and mind on the opponent in front of him, and he didn't care about anything but slashed with his knife. The figure of the young man was like a lonely boat in a storm on the sea in the sword light in the sky, but no matter how heavy the storm and how wild the rain, he could float on it dangerously.

The big boss didn't pay attention to the situation here at all, but the young swordsman could still take the time to take a look, showing a face full of surprise at the changes that had happened here

"Everyone, go and save Ah Xiao!" The middle-aged strong man led by finally came back to his senses, shouted, and rushed towards the young swordsman with a few people who were not too injured. When he passed by Xiao Xia and Mingyue, he hurriedly hugged his fist: "Thank you two for coming to the rescue, and we will come to thank you two when we go to save our companions." ”

"Why do you want to save it?" Mingyue glanced at the young swordsman and frowned, she rarely showed such an expression. "That guy isn't a good guy. ”

Mingyue's voice was not loud, and it was not for other people, the middle-aged strong man and those few people did not hear it. And Xiao Xia, who heard it, took a closer look at the fierce battle group, and actually smiled bitterly and nodded. If he is not mistaken, this young swordsman really does not need to be saved, of course, it is difficult for him to say whether he is a good person or not.

At this time, the big master of the horse thieves who had been fighting for a long time over there seemed to have realized that he had reached the end of his rope, so he threw away his double knives like crazy, and threw himself forward desperately with his free hands to catch the young man. But the boy had already let go of his huge and bulky body in a flash, and then raised his sword and stabbed him in the back of the heart.

"Ah, spare him his life. Xiao Xia suddenly shouted loudly.

Xiao Xia's voice sounded, and the tip of the young man's sword had already pierced Huyan Hongda's back, and he paused when he heard the sound, but after a meal, he still went castrate, and still pierced the heart of the big boss with a sword.

"Cut, this guy," Natsu smacked her lips. The military exploits of the living and the dead are different again.

At this time, the girl in the horse team was also running towards the young swordsman, and when she heard this, she turned her head and looked at Xiao Xia curiously, her big eyes flickered, and she asked, "Do you know Ah Xiao?"

"I don't know. Natsu shook her head. "Didn't you just call that what you just called?"

After the girl ran out for a while, Mingyue next to her suddenly turned her head to look at Xiao Xia and said, "Daoist Xia, you are really good at deceiving people." ”

"Didn't I fool you? Xiao Xia smiled bitterly. This half-human, half-demon girl has a pure and clear mind, maybe there is a Buddhist contemplation inherited from Master Chixia, and he really didn't want to lie to her.

Mingyue looked at the young swordsman in the distance, wrinkled her nose, inhaled, as if she could really smell the bad guy, and said again: "That guy is not a good person." ”

"Miss Mingyue, what do you think is a good person and what is a bad person?" Xiao Xia suddenly wanted to know her definition of these two concepts.

"Those who do good deeds are good people, and those who do bad deeds are bad people. The girl's answer was simple and natural.

"So what's good and what's bad?"

"Good things are good things, and bad things are bad things. The girl gave Natsu a strange look, as if she couldn't understand how he could ask such a simple question

###

At night, although the mountain wind blew for two or three hours, the smell of blood under the hills could still be faintly heard.

The horses set up camp on the hill a little ahead, and it was already getting dark, and they had to heal the wounded, and it was impossible to go any further. The middle-aged strong man at the head of the horse team also invited Xiao Xia and Mingyue to stay together, saying that he wanted to thank them. Xiao Xia, who had been in a hurry, didn't seem to be in a hurry, and promised to stay, and Mingyue naturally followed him.

This team turned out to be a dart game. The dart board is a small dart board near Niuguling in the north of Xuzhou, called "Youde Dart Board". This name is also somewhat worthy of the name, virtuous and virtuous, women are virtuous if they are not talented, and men will have no wealth if they are virtuous. The business of this dart game is also a flamboyant business, and it is only because it is a business handed down from the ancestors, which has been struggling to maintain. The middle-aged man led by him is Lin Zhen, the head of the dart board, and the girl is his daughter Lin Xiaoyan.

This time the dark dart is a big business that the dart bureau finally recruited, quietly escorting a batch of red goods to the Jizhou state capital, the dart bureau up and down are dispatched, and even the daughter of the chief dart head also joined in, which is enough for more than 30 people. I was expecting to rely on the reward of this red goods to add some vitality to the dart game, but I didn't know where the news leaked, and even Jizhou had not yet entered the country, so it was ambushed by horse thieves here.

This time, even if the red goods are delivered safely in the end, the remuneration will probably only be able to compensate for the settling-in expenses of the few dart masters who died and the other seriously injured dart masters, which will undoubtedly make the operation of the dart bureau even worse.

Even so, Mr. Lin still insisted on taking out a part of the prepared remuneration from the red goods to thank Xiao Xia and Mingyue. Xiao Xia understood his thoughts, after entering the territory of Jizhou, there might be horse thieves, and the horse thieves who were used to fighting immediately were ten times more dangerous in the Jizhou prairie than in this hill, and he hoped that Xiao Xia and Mingyue could help them send the red goods to the state capital.

Xiao Xia did not refuse. He could also see that Mr. Lin was actually inviting Mingyue, not him. The clever Mingyue girl is completely ignorant of the world, but he seems to be very sophisticated, he only vaguely said the origin of the two, and immediately made Mr. Lin and the others think that Mingyue is the son of a wealthy family or a famous family sent out to practice, and he is a long-term accompanying housekeeper or something.

Although I was in a hurry to go to Jizhou, I was not in a hurry, and I didn't need to rush overnight. And Xiao Xia is also a little curious about some things, and there is nothing wrong with joining this dart team for the time being.

Mingyue was already asleep. The embers of the bonfire shone on her baby-like sleeping face, and it was still as peaceful as in the dark woods, compared to the dangerous steps at that time, hiding murderous intentions, and now Xiao Xia will feel like a world away when she sees this face again.

In the distance, the roaring fire burned the mountain, but it was not a bonfire, but it was cremating the few dart masters who had died. The distance is still far away, it is impossible to take them to Jizhou together, and it is impossible to send them back to Xuzhou now, so they can only be cremated first and walk with the ashes.

Xiao Xia looked over there, and there was a somewhat thin figure sitting in the middle of the cremation pyre, which should be the young swordsman named Ah Xiao.

Ah Xiao was rescued from the river by Lin Xiaoyan five years ago, and there were many knife wounds on his body, so he only had one breath left, and after being rescued, he seemed to have forgotten all the previous things except for his own name, and he was kept in the dart game by Lin Zhen. He started as a handyman in the game of darts, slowly became an executioner, and then became a dart master. Although the character is very cold.,Not many words.,But there's nothing annoying about it.。 And probably because of the reason for being rescued, he seems to have always been very attached to Lin Xiaoyan, even when he showed an amazing talent in swordsmanship, even Lin Zong's dart head was built to learn from a famous school, he was still unwilling to leave the virtuous dart game, and was still willing to be an unknown little dart master in this dismal small dart game.

Speaking of Ah Xiao's swordsmanship talent, no one who has seen it is full of praise and dumbfounded. He asked Mr. Lin to teach him to practice swords for the first time, and after only three days of practice, he defeated Lin Xiaoyan, who had been practicing for three years, and after ten more days of practice, there was no one in the whole dart game except for Mr. Lin's dart. Then after half a year, in a dart encounter, the famous black bamboo five evil stars on the rivers and lakes of Xuzhou, this quintuplets brothers' set of joint kung fu is extremely powerful, the boss of which also has a black wind demon snake, almost effortlessly subdued the others in the dart game. At this time, Ah Xiao actually killed four of the Five Evil Stars with only a long sword in his hand, and even the boss's demon snake that acted like the wind was nailed through seven inches by a sword, and saved everyone from the hands of the Five Evil Stars. After this battle, everyone knew that the talent of this picked up boy was really incredibly high. With his skills and qualifications, whether he goes to any famous school to learn art, or other places, he can mix better, but he is still willing to stay in this small dart game, which also makes everyone have a better impression of this cold boy.

These are all the impressions that people in the dart game have of Ah Xiao, Xiao Xia just heard from them. Today, I can really see that almost everyone sees him as the pillar of this dart game, and as the future of the dart game.

But Xiao Xia knows that the truth is probably not like this. Xiao Xia stood up gently and walked over there.

Under the reflection of several fires, the young swordsman looked more and more insignificant, he sat there cross-legged for a long time, and did not move, still holding the ordinary long sword in his arms, just staring blankly at the huge torches burning corpses around him. These were all timbers that he had cut alone.

After killing the leader of the horse thieves, the young man named Ah Xiao looked at the corpse of the dart master on the ground, several seriously injured and dying dart masters, suddenly raised their swords and stabbed at the wailing horse thieves on the ground, these horse thieves were only slapped off their arms or kicked off their feet by Mingyue, but they were not dead.

His move was not unexpected. In fact, any of the surviving dart masters looked at the eyes of these horse thieves on the ground and wanted to pounce on them immediately to make up for the two knives, but almost everyone here was injured, and these horse thieves were all defeated by the woman in an unpredictable way, and they didn't dare to go up and move. But the boy seemed to have no scruples, and slew the wailing horse thieves one by one.

However, he only killed four or five, and Mingyue came up and grabbed his sword. The young man glared at her, his eyes, which were almost as beautiful as Mingyue, were full of flames, and everyone could see that this cold young man was really angry. But Mingyue only said one sentence, which made all the anger in the young man's eyes extinguish at all: "You killed these people yourself, why are you angry with the people I beat?"

Mingyue's voice was not loud, and the other people in the dart game didn't hear it clearly even if they heard it, and even if they heard it clearly, they probably didn't understand, but the young man's face turned white in an instant, and then he looked at Mingyue with a strange light in his eyes.

"If it weren't for Daoist Xia, I would have killed you right now. But even then, if you do something weird, I'll kill you. Mingyue pursed her lips, there was nothing in her eyes, and the tone of her voice was exactly the same as usual, but Xiao Xia knew that she would definitely do it.

So Xiao Xia hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her away. Xiao Xia was also a little curious, starting from the horse thieves who were outside before, Mingyue seemed to just knock them down, breaking their hands and feet, and didn't tear people into pieces all over the ground like in the dark woods, so he asked, "Mingyue girl, it turns out that you don't like to kill people?"

"Why kill for no reason?" the girl still looked at her strangely. "Daoist Xia, the questions you asked are all strange. ”

In this way, it seems that the people she killed were all for a reason. Xiao Xia smiled bitterly and nodded.

"Although these horse thieves are all bad people, it doesn't matter if you kill them. But if he wants to kill someone, he should catch it himself, why should he come and kill the person I hit?"

In the end, the horse thieves were not killed. Maybe in Mingyue's eyes, they are really no different from insects, or some insects with broken legs and hands, and they don't even bother to step on it. These horse thieves were also searched by the dart masters after the weapons and silver taels were sold, and they helped each other to move out step by step, but how long they can move out of this hilly swamp, and after moving out, no one knows whether they will be used as food by wolves in the Jizhou grassland.

The boy barely spoke to the others after that, except to help bandage the wounded with a cold pale face, and set up camp, after which he went and cut down dead branches of trees that weighed more than ten times his weight, and carried several dead dart masters up the pyre. After lighting the cremation pile, he sat quietly in front of the fire. The people in the dart game seemed to be accustomed to his indifference, and after a few words of comfort, they could only let him go.

"You're here, I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Xiao Xia was still dozens of feet away from him, his steps were also very light, and there were a few crackling sounds of burning firewood around him, and the young man smiled and never replied, but he knew that someone was coming, as if he knew that the person who came was Xiao Xia. He stood up and turned.

Xiao Xia looked at him and smiled, "You know I'm coming? ”

"You're still so much nonsense. What are you doing here after recognizing the wrong person?" the boy laughed. He is not large, he looks a little weak when he is not smiling, the bridge of his nose is very straight, his eyebrows are very thin and sharp, his lips are very thin, his eyes are not big, the corners of his eyes are slightly angry, and he is handsome and fair-skinned more like a girl with a somewhat fierce personality. But when he smiled, the sharpness of his lips, eyebrows, and the corners of his eyes immediately all blended together and bloomed ten hundred times sharper, making the person facing him feel that he was being pointed at by an extremely sharp knife, and even the white teeth that slightly exposed his lips seemed to be a little dangerous.

But Xiao Xia didn't care at all, and looked up and down at this knife-like young swordsman again, and the smile on his face became even stronger: "Why don't you seem to have grown much over the years?"

The young man snorted coldly, his voice was like two thin blades colliding, but the sharpness in the corners of his eyes softened, and he brought out a trace of warmth, looked at Xiao Xia and said, "You have grown a lot taller." The first time I saw you, you slept in a dung pit, and after six years, you were dressed as a horse thief and chased all over the hill by a cow. ”

This is indeed the Ah Xiao that Xiao Xia is familiar with, Tang chuckles.
