After coming out of the small teahouse, it was already ten in the middle of the night.

Nan Ling breathed a long sigh of relief, looked up at the bright moon, and his mood was depressed and complicated, indescribable.

There are few people on the street, and most of the people should have entered the dream fragrance by this time. Occasionally, the night walkers who pass by are all in a hurry, burying their heads in their heads. Nan Ling turned around and looked at the small teahouse, where Lu Jiyu's figure had long been gone.

He remembered what Lu Jiyu wanted him to do, it was very simple. Three days later, at midnight, they met by the dead maple tree, and he asked him to help get rid of the demon. And, on that day, stop Xuan Huai from destroying the Tempering Ceremony. Lian Yin must not be touched by what is in Xuan Huai's hand, otherwise Lian Yin will definitely be directly demonized and become a disaster.

Lu Jiyu said that he had found Lian Yin's soul and bones, and after slaughtering so many people, his soul had been eroded by resentment and turned into a ghost wandering the world. Only by completely transcending him can he re-enter re-incarnation.

Master Yun is proficient in the way of divination, and at most he can use some simple tricks to blind the eyes, which is already very remarkable. So, he needs Nanling.

Under the moonlight, Nan Ling's eyes were calm, and his figure stood in place like a knife, standing still, as if thinking about something. He came back to his senses, walked slowly, and disappeared into the darkness. Behind him, Lu Jiyu stood on the second floor of the small teahouse, looking at him with the same complicated expression.

At night, the country of Jiyun is like a sleeping city of angels, quiet and beautiful.

The moonlight was shining brightly, and the clear light appeared and disappeared from the clouds, shining on the sleeping city, so that all the people in her arms could have a good dream.

In the dark of the night, occasionally a cat meows, squints slowly like glass beads, and tiptoes past someone's window.

It jumped on the roof, stood on a high place, stopped curiously, leisurely licked its fleshy whirring paws, and meowed pleasantly, looking down at the lonely shadow walking alone on the empty street.

That's Nanling.

After a long conversation with Lu Jiyu for a day and a night, tonight, he couldn't sleep anyway. His mind was full of the red shadow, the black green silk, and the back that showed resoluteness and vicissitudes. Lu Xuanhuai's tearful and stubborn eyes lingered in front of him, and he couldn't forget how Lu Jiyu was expressionless and told such a suffocating story in a calm tone.

Although Lu Jiyu didn't say it, Nan Ling knew that most of the reason why he asked him for help was because he couldn't do it.

"It's really inappropriate for you and I to make such a request when we first met. There are still three days left before I formalize Lianyin's resentful spirit, and in three days, I will wait for you under that maple tree. If you want to, come, if you don't, then I wish you a smooth journey. ”

Thinking of Lu Jiyu's words before parting, Nan Ling looked at the jade slip in his hand, which was cold and cold in his hand, with a slight cold light.

There were mixed emotions stirring in his chest. His heart was so heavy that he couldn't speak.

He had a hard time choosing.

But what he couldn't choose was whether to go or not.

Nanling will definitely go, and it is difficult for him to choose what to do. Because when she met Lu Xuanhuai before, the conversation between her and Lu Jiyu obviously mentioned that Lu Xuanhuai had found something, and that thing had the possibility of resurrecting Lian Yin. That thing is related to a place called Wave Drag City, and Nan Ling guessed that what Lu Xuanhuai stole might be a holy relic in this Wave Wave City, something that has the function of resurrecting the dead.

However, Lu Jiyu insisted that Lian Yin's killing was too heavy, he had turned into a ghost, and he was not saved, so he must be tempered and put into reincarnation. This pair of brothers and sisters, one wants to "save" Lian Yin, and the other wants to "kill" Lian Yin, which side do they want to stand on as an outsider?

What if he turned Lian Yin into a single place, but found that he actually had a chance to return to the world, or resurrected Lian Yin, but turned him into a demon? In any case, these two paths are torture for Lu Yingchen. Should I have compassion for those who are forced by fate to make a last resort?

Master, if a person's story has made Ling Er feel so heavy and so difficult to choose, how should Ling Er bear the responsibility of the common people in the world? How should Ling Er protect the common people? Where is Ling Er's enemy? If the enemy of the common people in the world is Ling Er's lover and important person, what should Ling Er do?

Faced with such a choice, Nanling hesitated, and his heart was full of questions.

Unconsciously, he staggered alone and walked out of the city of Jiyun Kingdom. Consciously or unconsciously, he seemed to be heading towards the dead maple tree.

Out of the city, the scenery in front of me suddenly opened up, and under the moonlight, the beautiful Ji Yunze looked even more dreamy. The pure white saline-alkali ground reflected the faint silver light, Nan Ling fixed his eyes and looked ahead, but he didn't expect that the dead maple tree was actually glowing with a slightly warm yellow light! The light seemed to be from the inside out, so that the whole maple tree with a strange shape was highlighted from the night, which was very eye-catching. Nan Ling was slightly surprised in his heart, and unconsciously stepped forward.

When he got closer, Nan Ling realized that it was the fire emitted by several blue lotus candlesticks floating in the shallows under the trees. On the trunk of a tree jutting out of the water, there are several bouquets of flowers, and at a glance you can tell that they were put on today. Under the tree, there are blue lotus candlesticks carved from white stone, with short red candles lit on them, and the light of the fire swayes slightly, like the bright Milky Way in the sky.

Lu Yingchen, whose face was ruddy, was scattered, as if she was asleep, she gently leaned on the trunk of the tree, the clothes on her body were beautiful and delicate, they were vermilion, and her beautiful side face seemed to be an immortal who was resting under the moon, without sadness, without pain, and with a serene expression, as if she had never been hurt in any way.

The mottled traces left by those vicissitudes of life, this Jiyun No. 1 beauty quietly hid all of them.

Nan Ling just stood not far away, looking at her quietly. I imagined the stories, connecting her quiet face with the poor person in the story, but found that I couldn't.

Lu Yingchen opened his eyes.

Nanling was moved by this instantaneous eye wave. This was the first time he had a heartbeat.

“.... Is that you......"

Lu Yingchen sat up softly and looked at Nan Ling pitifully. The soft candlelight blurred her beauty, making everything hazy, and Nan Ling was completely immersed in her peerless countenance, just silent, not knowing how to answer no.

"It's not..... It's not...."

The eyes of the first beauty of Jiyun were full of sadness, but they quickly calmed down, leaned against the branches of the dead tree, and fell into a deep sleep again.

It's as if the eyes just opened were just sleepwalking. The words spoken are only dreams.

Just this glance was enough to deter Nan Ling's shy and sincere heart.

"Who the hell are you. ”

A voice came to mind behind him. Nan Ling felt very familiar, and when he turned his head, he found that it was Lu Xuanhuai.

Lu Xuanhuai looked vigilant, put his small satchel behind him, and looked at Nan Ling with a cold gaze.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just ..... Just look at your sister. Nan Ling explained awkwardly.

"You haven't said who you are. ”

Her short, ear-length hair makes her look plump and cute. In the moonlight, she stood there quietly, and Nan Ling finally had a chance to take a closer look at her - Xuan Huai was about twelve or thirteen years old, but she was very thin. He is small, with a maturity and vigilance that is not at all like what he should have at this age. It seems that except in front of Lu Jiyu, she will not expose her vulnerable side at all.

"I'm — my name is Nanling, a traveler from the north. ”

"Are you friends with Brother Jiyu?"

"Sort of. ”

"Did he tell you about Sister Yingchen?" Xiao Xuanhuai was very smart, and immediately sensed that something was wrong with Dao Nanling appearing here.

"Yes. ”

"Then are you also here to reduce Brother Lianyin?" Xiao Xuanhuai asked aggressively.

Nan Ling was speechless for a while, and hurriedly waved his hand, wanting to say no, but remembering the agreement with Lu Jiyu, he couldn't say it. After a moment, he had to say that Lu Jiyu asked him to help.

"Then you're not Xuanhuai's friend. ”

Xuan Huai's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he took a step back, ready to slip away again.
