Today's moonlight is very beautiful, just like the moonlight on the last night of Nangong's house.

Nan Er picked up his knife and left.

He didn't know what he could do, what he had to do, or even what he was going to do.

In the heart filled with killing intent, there is no madness and distortion, there is only the coldness that can never melt on the thousand-year-old snow-capped mountains in the extreme north.

He walked alone in the light of the night, step by step back to the place that had once called home.

……

The moonlight flowed down like water and frost.

The man lying on his side on the green tiles of the eaves shook the wine gourd, he was obviously drunk, but he still couldn't sleep.

"I can't sleep after drinking like this...... It's the first time for me. ”

Xia Zhicicada staggered to his feet.

The white moonlight shrouded him, as if the fairy in the heavenly moon palace was afraid of the cold autumn wind, and specially put on a moonlight coat for him.

In the room, Xia Zhicicada, who was knocked unconscious by Nan Er and helped to the bed, turned into light and dissipated little by little, and in the end, there was no one in the whole room at all.

Only the light on the corner of the table was still flickering.

Xia Zhi is what kind of guy Xia Zhicicada is, if he was really knocked down by only one sneak attack by Nan Er, then he can't wander the rivers and lakes anymore, just go back to Longshan and start over.

He stayed on the roof from the beginning, watched Nan Er follow the fake Xia Zhician into the house, and watched the former walk out of the house and close the door, no longer hiding the killing intent on his body, and rushed straight to a place.

Xia Zhician has been drinking, but the more he drinks, the more sober he becomes.

He simply jumped off the roof and stepped outside.

"Lord Lingguan, you are ......"

It wasn't too late, the post guard at the post station was still there, and he immediately greeted Xia Zhicicada as soon as he saw him come out. The previous post man Zhang Yueban specially instructed to take care of this spiritual official like his own father.

"Get out for a walk."

Xia Zhician replied casually, and then walked outside.

"In the east of the city, you can swim in the lake and admire the moon, and there are countless singing and dancing on the painting boat......"

The postman hurriedly said, but before he finished speaking, Xia Zhician had already gone out, and only replied lightly: "Got it......"

Although it is not a river god festival today, the entire river city is already brightly lit and bright as day.

The streets are crowded with people, so it's not lively.

Xia Zhicicada followed the crowd and walked in the opposite direction to Naner.

He didn't know how long he walked, until a huge mirrored lake appeared in front of him, this lake is a tributary of the river next to the river city, the river meanders through the river city, and on both sides of the lake are Qinglou restaurants.

At this time, on the lake, there are already several painting boats with lanterns hanging high, and there are bursts of drum music, accompanied by the flickering lights, and there are enchanting women dancing.

Xia Zhicicada stood on the shore, letting the autumn wind blow the corners of his clothes.

Groups of nocturnal women walked by the roadside, all of them flashing with bright eyes, looking at the independent handsome boy on the shore with curiosity and a little shyness.

The timid only dared to peek twice, and then walked away quickly with his head bowed amid the laughter of his partner.

The bold deliberately walked past Xia Zhiciao's side, and then "accidentally" threw some handkerchiefs or something, hoping to stage the scene of the talented man chasing the beautiful woman in the drama script.

Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed.

Xia Zhician didn't care about all kinds of things that happened behind him, if he looked back, he would find that the ground behind him was lost handkerchiefs, purse earrings, and jewelry, in short, the girl's things were almost ready.

He scanned the sides of the riverbank and finally landed on the old man beside a stone bridge.

The old man was dressed in shabby cloth and had gray hair, standing alone in the autumn wind with a small canoe.

At the bow of the boat were two jugs of wine and three dishes of side dishes.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the excitement of the river god festival to bring a few guests to the lake to enjoy the lanterns, and when those guests drank on the boat, they would give themselves a few rewards, and this winter would be better.

I didn't expect the autumn wind to be so cold tonight.

Those rich guests naturally go to the painting boat flower boat, who can look at his little broken boat, but the wine and food have been bought, if there is no guest on the boat tonight, let alone make money, but also lose money.

Xia Zhician walked over, took out the money from his sleeve, and handed it directly to the old man who was trembling in the autumn wind.

"Is this money enough to rent your boat?"

"Uh, that's enough...... This son, you can't use so much money to take a boat, and your money is more than enough to buy my boat. ”

The old man hurriedly untied the rope on the boat, and before he could get on the boat, Xia Zhicicada beside him flew to the bow of the boat.

"Uh, Childe, I haven't gotten on the boat yet......"

"No need ......"

Xia Zhicicada lay down on the boat, and the small boat under him was windless and automatic, and staggered towards the river.

"This ......"

The old man didn't believe what he saw, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then looked at the money that really existed in his hand.

The autumn wind blew, and the old man shivered involuntarily.

He thought about it in his heart, anyway, the money was enough to buy a new ship for himself, and the old ship would be sold to someone else.

He tightened his clothes, held the sudden large sum of money in his arms, and hurried home.

……

The boat rocked and rocked and floated over the river.

Bursts of laughter came from the boats, the beating fingertips of musicians, the seductive waist of dancing girls, the mellow wine, and the enchanting singers.

Tonight, some people are happy and some are sad.

Xia Zhicicada looked at the starry sky with a full moon in the middle.

The moonlight spilled down without a hint of temperature.

"Lang Jun, why are you so sad today......

A bewitching voice sounded in her ears, and the woman sat on the side of the boat, a pair of jade feet immersed in the icy water, she wore a silver middle coat and a white tulle overneath.

It was the snake demon on the flower boat that day.

She twisted her boneless snake waist and gently pressed one hand on Xia Zhiciao's chest, feeling the sound of his hot and powerful heartbeat.

The latter glanced at her and said angrily:

"Get out."

"Lang Jun, you are so ruthless, did the slave family do something wrong......

The snake demon lowered his eyes and said with tears in his eyes.

If others don't know, they still think that Xia Zhicicada is a negative person who has been chaotic and abandoned.

"Xia is in a bad mood today, if you don't leave quickly......"

Xia Zhicicada shook the sleeve robe on the right, and there was a faint sound of thunder in it.

The voice was like a sharp sword.

The snake demon's body stiffened, her pupils instantly shrank like needles, and her feet turned into a silver slender snake tail.

"Though you sucked the spirit of a passing man on the river, you never killed anyone...... Otherwise, Xia would not have shown mercy to his subordinates and let you live. ”

At the beginning, although Xia Zhicicada fought against the four demons, he did not take out the cinnabar yellow talisman that had a great deterrent effect on the demons, the purpose of which was to let them live.

But today, this snake demon actually came to the door without knowing whether he was alive or dead, and Xia Zhicicada's mood was extremely depressed, so he would not be merciful.

"Lang Jun, it's really ruthless, forget that you and I are in love......"

Click!

A thunderclap.

Many of the guests on the painting boat poked their heads out of the windows, looking at the cloudless scenery of the bright moon in the sky, and scratched their heads in confusion.

"There's not even a cloud here, how can it thunder......"

Xia Zhician sat up from the boat, he shook his right sleeve robe, and then looked at the boat where he was the only one left.

On a small table in the bow of the boat, there were three plates of appetizers, next to which were two jugs of wine.

Xia Zhicicada picked up a small fish from the plate, threw it into his mouth and chewed it. Well, in addition to the salty taste, it is a faint fishy smell, which is really not very tasty.

Poof.

A woman with long hair and a shawl appeared in the water on the side of the boat, and she combed her hair, which was wet with the river, and simply took off her tulle coat, which was already soaked outside.

"Lang Jun still has affection for me, just now he just scared the slave family......"

With the thunder, the snake demon turned around and jumped into the river, but after she entered the water, she found that she didn't feel a trace of thunder power at all, so she quietly raised her head from the water again.

Xia Zhicicada was speechless for a while.

The robe on his left flickered, and the black cat with its tail wagging came out.

She jumped lightly onto the desk, then lowered her head and licked the fish on the plate. Sure enough, as long as it is a cat, whether it is an ordinary kitten or a cat demon, it can't resist the temptation of the little fish.

The snake demon lay on the boat, stretched out his slender white arm and picked up the wine jug on the side, and poured Xia Zhicicada a full glass of wine.

Her lying posture just showed the fullness of her chest in front of Xia Zhician without reservation, and there was a bit of teasing movement between the stretching of her arms.

"Lang Jun, please~"

"You're really not afraid of death, are you?"

Xia Zhician drank it all with his wine glass, he was obviously already flushed with drunkenness on his cheeks, but he just maintained the last bit of sobriety.

He wants to be drunk, preferably drunk and dreaming of death.

But he just couldn't get drunk.

"Lang Jun has something on his heart, why don't you say it? The more you hold back some worries, the more uncomfortable it becomes. ”

The basilisk poured another glass of wine.

Under the moonlight, she is a little less enchanting and charming, and more elegant and quiet.

Xia Zhician turned the wine glass in his hand, this wine was bought by the old man from the street, and it could not be compared to the immortal wine in his wine gourd anyway.

But the wine in this jug tastes a little more comfortable than the wine in the gourd.

"Tonight, a friend of mine is going to kill people and kill a lot of people...... I know, but I can't stop it. ”

Xia Zhicicada drank the wine in the cup with a lonely look.

On the one hand, he is entangled in the life and death of those people, he has the ability to save but has to stand by coldly, and on the other hand, he should not stop the blood feud that his friends have endured for many years.

"When I came down the mountain, Master told me......"

Xia Zhician stood up, he faced the cold autumn wind on the river, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh and grow his mouth:

"You go down the mountain this time, just go to subdue the demons."

Subduing demons and subduing demons, these are the four words that Xia Zhicicada often puts on his lips. What Master said seemed to be easy to understand, but it also seemed to be difficult to understand.

"Demon Subduing Demon ......"

Xia Zhician stood on the boat and turned in a circle slightly, and the robe seemed to encompass the whole world in it.

"It's only now that I've understood a little bit."

"I originally thought that the most difficult thing in this world was to subdue demons, but I didn't expect ......"

Xia Zhician picked up the wine gourd and took another sip.

"It's actually the easiest."

When you meet demons and monsters, you will fight, and if you don't eat people, you will educate them and then let them go, and when you meet those bad monsters that eat people, you will directly beat them until their souls are scattered.

See, it's a simple thing.

On the contrary, it is human, and people are much more terrifying than demons and monsters, and they are much more difficult to deal with. Demons are murderers, but people are also murderers.

At the beginning, those bandits and killers in the old store of the Dong family, which of them did not have blood stains on their hands, they had killed more people than some monsters, and the cleanest thing in the old store of the Dong family was actually the female ghost in the well in the backyard, she had never killed anyone.

recalled the two people who escaped the world in the ancient temple, in order not to care about the rights and wrongs of the world, they chose to sit dry and look at the things of the world with cold eyes.

Xia Zhician sighed, he only now understood why his ancestor Yan Chixia left the ancestral training of "just to subdue demons and subdue demons".

"People, it's more terrible than demons and monsters."

He smiled dismally, fell into the boat, and finally fell asleep from sleepiness.

The wine gourd in his hand fell into the river with the wind, shook on the water for a while, and then sank.
