Chapter Seventy-Two: The Night of the Murder in the Bright Moon
With the heavy and long bell ringing in the ears, this fifteenth moon is even rounder and brighter than the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's like a mirror-enlarged jade plate, weird, as if standing right above people – close at hand. Looking up, the moonlight pours out, flowing like water, rippling in cascading waves.
Moving the boat to park Yanzhu, Gusu Town at night is originally very beautiful. The hanging willow green drips a shore of green, faintly covering the flat-leaved boat tied under the embankment, watching it float on the sparkling water, swaying and swinging, as if singing a song of sleep on the water. The merry boy held an oil-paper umbrella, leaned on the horse leaning bridge, and waited for the beautiful woman who painted gracefully to spend a lot of money...... Or wait for a sunset, fall in the frightened forest in the west among the tired birds, send the last touch of tenderness to the lover, warm and affectionate, and reconcile the piano......
But tonight in Gusu Town, only a lonely boat is tied under the willow tree and swings with the waves. When the night weaves a huge net and scatters the earth, the big full moon that appeared out of thin air dyed the whole world into a strange blurred gold, like weaving a gorgeous cocoon for the night, and its existence is more fearful than the night.
So the long, long, chanting bell rang punctually after the sun had set, striking heavily on everyone's heart, warning everyone that they must go home. Therefore, it was only a quarter of an hour, and Gusu Town was already empty, if it weren't for the red lights in front of the closed gates on the streets, I am afraid that everyone would think that this place was a desolate and deserted town.
Of course, this does not include the two young knights in coarse black tunics and long swords.
They are the only noise in this silent night!
The two of them had just come to this Gusu Town, so they naturally didn't understand what the bell meant, and wandered around Yangliu Street aimlessly before they walked to Xuanhua Street, the back street. This Xuanhua Street is full of gambling houses and taverns Spring Building, so when they just walked into this Xuanhua Street, they heard the mournful and complaining, crying and complaining singing girl's voice, and they could also hear the laughter of the women in the Spring Building, and the heavier and heavier ringing of bells from the temple on the mountain.
The two of them were so impatient that they kicked open the door of a tavern. After urging the boss to hurry up and serve the wine, he lifted one foot across the stool, leaned on the table unscrupulously, raised his glass and drank, grabbed the meat with his bare hands, and the sword was erected on the ground, leaning on the place of his right hand.
Time passed minute by minute, and after a drunken pretence, the two of them looked a little drunk, and when they stood up slowly, they muttered to everyone that the bell on the mountain was too noisy. Ignoring the admonition of the tavern guys, he staggered open the door, staggered out, and said that he wanted to play with the woman in the green building. The smell of wine emanated from the two of them, and it kept wafting in the air, and it didn't smell good anyway.
The drunken two had to support each other, staggering down the street, and singing loudly a song "Laughing Red Dust" that was clear in their ears. But the chanting at this time, although it is quite beautiful, in the eyes of others, it is no different from death.
This frightened the tavern owner, who anxiously called to his men to close the door, and peeked through the carved windows at the two strangers.
As a chivalrous man, he has unspeakable hardships in his heart. Too many people can't help themselves, and they will only choose to start by forgetting the world. At first, they would lead a horse, a sword, and a jar of wine to wander the rivers and lakes.
For the matter of looking for flowers and asking willows, from the fall of Shizi to the pain of life in the rivers and lakes, it is like a breeze from a visitor, and in a blink of an eye, the wind and snow do not return. This is a world where there is no reason to explain, in the eyes of all kinds of knights, you can drink a pot of old wine and sleep all night. Don't ask about the distance, don't ask about the blessings and misfortunes, feel free and happy, lonely and casual!
They are people in the rivers and lakes, bearing the name of chivalry, but they know that there are thousands of trivial matters in Hongchen, and there is no bloody man, but with a heroic spirit and drinking blood, he can save this common life. Once, when the road encounters injustice, if you like to help, you will help, and if you don't help, you will help. It doesn't matter if they are good or evil. Not many people can understand it, and of course, they don't need people to understand it.
There are only two kinds of sincere love in the world: one is tired of getting tired of each other, and the other is forgetting each other but crying.
However, they were able to choose an alternative life, fill the vacancy in their hearts with loneliness, and break the shackles of ethics with escape......
Whether it is said to be a free time, naturally no one can understand the true thoughts in their hearts.
Just like the two chivalrous men in front of them who were crazy because of alcohol, when everyone was looking through the window flowers, they were holding on to the bluestone slab, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and suddenly it was quiet.
Perhaps, no matter how drunk people are, their hearts should be sober, but many people choose to use their brains to sleep their minds!
Of course, they pretended to be all this before. The heroes of the rivers and lakes are not good, and the days when the tip of the knife licks the blood may not be a wandering wreckage.
Suffering, analyzing the bits and pieces of life.
The two swords were clenched tightly in their hands, and at every moment of swaying and moving, they were stubbornly observing the wind and grass around them.
Only when the guy went to clean up the wine table, he didn't notice the place full of wine under his feet, and his body lost stability, and he fell all over the place, and there was a hot pain in his buttocks.
It's time!
The distant mountains blend with the moon and night, and it is very quiet under the night sky.
The Gusu Temple blended in a hazy darkness. Expanding the mountains that are still welcoming the pine waves, several rays of light like peacocks in the opening screen are blurred, as if they are like the desire to welcome the oriental purple air in the early morning. The wind is sparse, and the cold streets reflect the light and shadow of the moonlight, and under the reflection of two pairs of bright eyes, they envelop the undulating houses all around, and no wind blows.
Suddenly, a light fell from the sky and fell somewhere in the Gusu Temple, and the two poles of heaven and earth seemed to be connected, projecting a bright pillar of light as if penetrating, wrapping the entire Gusu Town in a pale golden world.
"Boom-dang!"
The long bell rang throughout Gusu Town, and people's hearts followed it, as if this long and long bell was sending heavy condolences for the imminent death. The air was blown by the wind, and a rotten cold breath was faintly heard, transmitted to every street and alley. Lang Lang's Sanskrit voice became high and urgent, indicating that all the monks of Gusu Temple were doing their best to suppress the demon snipe under the temple.
The moon charm is born, and with its sharp claws and crimson pupils, all who walk in the moonlight cannot escape its palm.
The boss in the tavern, who was hiding under the windowsill and looking from afar, hurriedly took a few steps back, he knew that the two knights would have no chance of escaping.
As soon as the moon charm comes out, no one can escape!
This seems to have become an immutable law in Gusu Town!
And the two green-bearded knights who were wrapped in thick black clothes, before approaching a certain spring building, no longer had the strength to walk, and actually fell asleep on the ground with their eyes closed. Of course, no one knew that the palms of the two of them were actually overflowing with sweat, and for those who were in the wind, their hearts seemed more dignified at this time.
One carelessly, all plans will be in vain.
With the sound of the wind blowing and the pine waves in the distance, it was gently and softly sent to the ear. The silent street was suddenly mixed with the faint sound of a silver needle falling to the ground, extremely thin - on the night sky where the bright moon hung in the sky, a camel figure covered in a cloak flashed from the sky, and its red eyes seemed to have an incomparably bloodthirsty light, coldly scanning the two sleeping figures on the street.
The moonlight poured thousands of miles, did not stir up dust, and the quiet night silenced everyone in the tavern, while the tavern owner sat at the table, just took a deep sip of wine, and went to sleep with a lot of emotion. It's not that he doesn't want to drag the two drunken knights back, there are some knights in the rivers and lakes, which makes him feel more terrible than the moon charm.
Although they are jealous and hateful, although they are upright, in the face of the true righteousness of the world, they will only use the sword in their hands to launch their bloody revenge, no matter how mourning is everywhere, no matter the sea of corpses and blood.
Some people will fight the sky without their own strength, and some people will kill people in a moody manner, and they play the role of executioners who have no feelings in the world after all.
Under the moonlit night, the ghostly figure landed lightly on the glazed tiles, and after observing the surrounding environment for a moment, he opened his hands, and a powerful magic power came out from his sharp claws. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a black strange wind, rolled towards the sleeping two people lying on the street, and slowly carried it into the air.
A string of fine silver needles flicked forward in the Moon Charm's hands, striking at the meridians of the two chivalrous bodies bound in mid-air.
The danger was approaching, and between the lightning and flint, the two knights suddenly opened their eyes, and there was no fear in their clear eyes, and a white light and shadow surged out of their bodies for a while, and they broke free from the shackles of black qi in an instant.
Two swords flew out of their palms, unsheathed in mid-air, and sparked against the cold silver needle.
The two of them grabbed forward with both hands at the same time, grasped the sword that had cut down countless silver needles, and jumped out with their bodies, striking at the moon charm on the glazed tiles. After a brief startle, a stream of demonic energy condensed out in her hand, and her sharp claws glowed in the night, and she pounced on the two knights fiercely.
A dull sound sounded in the collision of the three people. The swords clenched in the hands of the two knights spun out of their hands, like a bright moon breaking through the night sky, striking the moon charm back and forth. Seeing that the situation was not good, the moon charm retreated to defend, her claws were sealed, and a terrifying murder broke out all over her body, pinning the two swords in the air, unable to get any closer.
The Moon Charm is worthy of being the Moon Charm, I saw its body flash in mid-air, and instantly came to the front of one of the knights, and grabbed it forward with its claws. The knight's face changed wildly, and his body retreated in mid-air, but it was no match for the speed of the Moon Charm's attack, and he hurriedly raised his arms to resist, but his hands were still scratched by the Moon Charm with four scratches, and the blood immediately soaked his clothes red.
At the same time, it took a lot of effort for another knight to summon his sword back, and his light body and long sword slashed a sword light in the air.
Moon Charm could only stop her attack and bow slightly in the air, and saw the sword light slash into the air and disappear. The Moon Charm crossed its claws, and with a horizontal edge of the claws, it drew a crescent moon in the direction in front of it, wanting to cut the waist of the injured knight in front of it!
Fine beads of sweat were already overflowing on the faces of the two knights, and they knew that this Moon Charm was strong, and the two were by no means opponents. Unable to use it for a while, he had to temporarily avoid the edge, tap his toes, and swoop down to the ground.
Unexpectedly, the speed of the moon charm was faster, and when he saw that the move was empty, his body turned into a cloud of black gas in mid-air, and when he looked at it again, he had fallen behind the injured knight, and raising his claw was a slash.
Suddenly, a sword stabbed from the distance between the two of them in time, and the powerful force shook several people apart. Without any hesitation, with a sword and a claw, he fought on the ground again, completely breaking the quiet night of Gusu.
The wounded knight raised his hand to recall his sword with all his might, and joined the battle again.
A soft ray of moonlight shone through the window and sprinkled onto the tower, and the windowsill seemed to be silver-plated, covering the balustrade.
Half leaning on the vermilion of the water pavilion, holding a peach wood fan in the palm of his hand, white clothes, chic and dignified, just a silhouette has an indescribable charm.
Seeing through the shadow of the three battles on the street, his face hooked up a bright smile and flew up. The bright moon sky shines on the sky, and under the full moon, I saw his figure like an epiphany blooming at night, fragrant, and crossed the sultry moonlight.
