At noon the next day, the sun fell on Xiao Yusheng's face, a little warm, Xiao Yusheng touched a few Taoist talismans in his arms, took a breath, and said to Liu Yu: "Brother Liu, let's go." ”

Liu Yu was also a little nervous in his heart, but when he saw Xiao Yusheng's appearance, he couldn't help but comfort: "Brother Xiao, this monster usually doesn't come out to hurt people, if it is an enemy, we will retreat first, and then find a way later." ”

Xiao Yusheng knew that Liu Yu had seen through his thoughts, and his face couldn't help but turn red when he thought that he was a cultivator but not as decisive as this ordinary man.

But hearing the concern in Liu Yu's words, it made his heart warm, and he hugged his fists and said solemnly to Liu Yu: "Thank you Brother Liu." ”

Liu Yu laughed and patted Xiao Yusheng on the shoulder, Xiao Yusheng's heart was wide, and he had a little more affection for this man who had only been with him for less than two days.

The two of them walked forward for about five miles, but they saw a black-shirted young man on the road, smiling and smiling at them.

When the black-shirted young man saw the two approaching, he immediately arched his hand forward and said with a slight smile: "It's Senior Brother Xiao from Fang Yuemen, and Brother Liu Yu." ”

Xiao Yusheng looked at the young man who was talking when he heard this, and saw that the young man had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, handsome and extraordinary, but he didn't seem to have seen it, and said politely: "I'm Xiao Yusheng of Fang Yuemen, are you?"

"In the Lower Autumn Maple Clan, Moyue. The black-shirted young man saw the puzzled look in Xiao Yusheng's eyes, and smiled slightly.

"The Qiu Feng clan, could it be the Qiu Feng clan of the Qiu Feng Water Stream?" Xiao Yusheng was taken aback, the Qiu Feng clan has been inherited for nearly a thousand years, and there are many secret thaumatururgies, and their reputation is not as good as that of many righteous sects.

"It turned out to be the senior brother of the Qiufeng clan, and he was disrespectful. Xiao Yusheng saw that there were two or three fiery red maple leaves embroidered on the hem of the young man's black shirt, which was indeed very similar to the rumored clan, so he hurriedly gave up.

At this time, Liu Yu also stepped forward to greet Na Moyue.

"Senior Brother Xiao is welcome, I heard that Senior Brother Xiao wants to eliminate demons for the people of Donglindu, so I took the liberty to wait here, hoping to help Senior Brother. ”

Xiao Yusheng saw that this black-shirted young man talked extraordinary, and it was rare that the young man had the heart to help eliminate the demons, but he didn't show up in the town, most of the time because he didn't want to alarm the people in the town.

I couldn't help but feel a little admiration in my heart, and I smiled slightly: "In this case, thank you Brother Mo." ”

The three of them exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Xiao Yusheng and Liu Yu prepared to continue walking in the direction of the Red Leaf Forest.

At this time, Mo Yue's face suddenly turned slightly red with embarrassment, and she coughed lightly: "Just now I was waiting for Senior Brother Xiao here, and when I saw that Senior Brother had not arrived for a long time, I couldn't bear to go in and investigate, and I searched through the forest but found nothing." ”

Xiao Yusheng and Liu Yu shook their heads at the same time, and said in surprise: "What!"

But whether it was Liu Yu or Xiao Yusheng, after thinking about it, they still insisted on going in to investigate. Mo Yue didn't stop it, and after a while, the three of them entered the Red Leaf Forest together.

Under the sun, the red leaves are like flowers, and like a layer of sunset that discharges the ground, the breeze blows, and occasionally one or two red leaves slowly fall, but it is a very wonderful picture.

But Xiao Yusheng looked a little depressed, while Liu Yu looked helpless and a little worried.

Mo Yue stood beside Xiao Yusheng, smiling secretly in her heart, but asked in her mouth, "Senior Brother Xiao, what are your plans next?" Liu Yu also looked at Xiao Yusheng when he heard the sound.

Xiao Yusheng knew Liu Yu's worries, thought about it, and after all, there was no good way, so he finally had to say: "I should be able to stay here for a few more days after calculating the time, and come back tomorrow to have a look." ”

When Liu Yu heard this, he glanced at Xiao Yusheng gratefully, and it could only be like this.

Liu Yu also had a good impression of Mo Yue, a righteous young man, so he tried to invite Mo Yue to stay in Liu Mansion for a few days.

Mo Yue didn't seem to expect Liu Yu's invitation, and hesitated for a moment, but agreed.

Liu Yu was overjoyed and led the two back to Donglindu.

The news that Xiao Yusheng and his entourage failed to find the monster in the red leaf forest and returned in vain soon spread in the town, and people began to talk about it again.

Liu Yu had to explain patiently to everyone, and the doubts of the townspeople were dispelled, but after all, it still disappointed many people.

It was late at night again, and Xiao Yusheng couldn't fall asleep over and over.

His head was full of the expected eyes of the townspeople before he left, and when he returned, he seemed disappointed and a little suspicious. Such a gaze couldn't help but remind him of the thorns under the Tianju Mountain ring eight years ago that he still can't forget.

Xiao Yusheng was slightly annoyed, and after a long time, he sighed and got up from the bed. Outside, the moonlight shone into the house. Xiao Yusheng gently opened the door of the house, and with a "squeak", Xiao Yusheng walked outside the house.

Outside the house was a square courtyard, and the room he was in faced south, and there was a room on each of the other three sides.

Xiao Yusheng looked up to the sky, there was starlight in the sky, the starry sky was vast, and it was a place where human beings yearned for gods since ancient times.

Under the starry sky, Xiao Yusheng suddenly felt a sense of insignificance. A hundred years of life is really not worth mentioning compared to this ancient starry sky. Xiao Yusheng gradually saw that his expression was a little dazed.

After a while, Xiao Yusheng shook his head, his gaze became firm again, he whispered something, and turned around and walked towards the house.

Xiao Yusheng didn't notice that there was a figure leaning against the pillars of the courtyard corridor, looking at him with a curious expression.

When the man saw Xiao Yusheng enter the house, he suddenly smiled lowly, looked up at the starry sky, but shook his head for some reason, and slowly turned back.

The night quietly returned to his original face, dark and quiet.

In the next five days, Xiao Yusheng, Mo Yue, and Liu Yu went to the Red Leaf Forest many times, but they found nothing.

There may be rumors among the townspeople that the "monster" escaped through spirituality, and some people gradually spread that Xiao Yusheng is just a charlatan who eats and drinks and wants to cheat Liu Zhai's bounty. In the next few days, there were even rumors that the so-called Fang Yuemen was a dilapidated sect at all, and it was no longer a great sect for cultivating immortals, so how could the disciples who came out have any real skills.

On the sixth day, Donglin Ferry.

Xiao Yusheng and Mo Yue got on the ferry, and Liu Yun and Liu Yu hugged each other on the side of the ferry.

Whether it is Liu Yu, who is bold and true, or Liu Yun, who is both virtuous and virtuous, Xiao Yusheng is respectful, and he is a little reluctant when he leaves.

Xiao Yusheng hugged his fists and said, "Brother Liu, take care." Liubo take care. ”

"Brother Xiao, don't worry about those people's words. ”

"Brother Liu, I know, please rest assured. Xiao Yusheng's eyebrows were a little depressed.

Liu Yu was really distressed when he saw it, but a smile appeared on his face: "That's good, big brother is here waiting for you to return triumphantly." As he spoke, he patted Xiao Yusheng on the shoulder.

Just a few days together, but there is true affection.

A few more greetings, the boatman finally held up the penny, and the ferry rowed away from the clear water.

Above the water, a gentle breeze blows, with a hint of humidity and coolness.

Xiao Yusheng and Mo Yue sat on either side of the boat.

As far as Xiao Yusheng can see, the long river is blue and sparkling, like the Milky Way in his arms, and like a sea of brocade. And looking downstream, it is a brocade of white practice, endless. On the bank of the river, there are more distant mountains such as daisies, and fertile fields such as jue.

Xiao Yusheng took a deep breath, in the past few days, either because of the disadvantage of "eliminating demons", or because of the upcoming righteous path competition, the boredom and depression accumulated in his heart were suddenly relaxed.

Xiao Yusheng smiled slightly, turned his head to look at the black-shirted young man, but was slightly stunned after a while.

I saw that the black-shirted young man seemed to be a little happy in his expression, looking at the distant mountains on both sides of the river, and then rolling up his sleeves and putting his hand into the river, the corners of his eyes were full of joy.

The damp wind slightly wet his sideburns, the few green strands hanging down from his forehead, and stuck to his delicate and fair skin.

It seems that because of the softness of the water, the originally beautiful sword eyebrows have also become graceful, and there are a little drops of water on the thin eyebrows and nose, and the handsome and extraordinary face seems to have become a quietly flowing autumn water.

But not long after, Mo Yue finally saw Xiao Yusheng's strange gaze, and said slightly suspiciously: "Senior Brother Xiao?"

Xiao Yusheng was awakened by Mo Yue's voice, his face turned red, and he immediately turned his head to look away.

This made Mo Yue even more suspicious, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her face, her heart moved, and she seemed to smile and say, "Am I beautiful?"

Xiao Yusheng subconsciously replied: "Beautiful." ”

Mo Yue smiled lightly, but after a while, she immediately had a cold face, stood up and flicked her sleeves violently, and snorted coldly: "Brother Xiao, is it really so 'beautiful'!"

At this time, Xiao Yusheng came back to his senses: a man used "beauty" to describe another man, how frivolous and eccentric!

He was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole and get into it immediately, so he quickly got up and waved his hand and said, "No, no, I, I mean, I, I don't mean that." ”
