Xu Huaigu watched in disbelief as the man in black's arm was wrapped in a white silk ribbon, making him unable to move. When he went to look at the man in black, he found that his chest had been pierced by a white satin dyed red.
The man in black continued to gush out blood from his mouth, and blood spurted out from his chest. He was actually killed in the blink of an eye.
Seeing such a scene, Xu Huaigu couldn't help but feel horrified. He looked to the other side along the white silk with some fear, and saw a figure in white standing on the roof of the palace, cool and noble against the moonlight.
The moonlight outlines the person's appearance.
It's a woman in white.
The woman in white was slim and graceful, holding the white silk that killed the man in black in one hand, and holding an oil-paper umbrella in the other hand. The oil-paper umbrella was half leaning against the corner of her shoulder, looking noble in the moonlight, like a blooming lotus.
What is particularly eye-catching is that the woman in white stands barefoot on the top of the palace without shoes.
Xu Huaigu's heart trembled unconsciously. This scene seemed to have traveled through time, so familiar and cordial.
He suddenly thought of that scene many years ago, and tears were about to burst out of his eyes.
He finally understood why this scene was so familiar. On that moonlit night four years ago, there was also such a graceful woman, also barefoot, and it was also the stunning scene before his eyes.
That's right, it's her.
Xu Huaigu controlled his emotions and was about to summon up the courage to ask, "Sister Bai, is it you?", but the woman in white pulled and put away the white silk that killed the man in black, but the oil-paper umbrella remained the same. Without taking it, he stepped lightly on the roof and landed lightly in another alley, disappearing.
Xu Huaigu watched the woman in white leave in confusion, feeling empty in his heart.
That must be Bai Xiaoyu, there is absolutely no mistake, but why doesn't she see herself? What experiences has she had in these years, and why is her cultivation so high that she can kill such a monster at will? And why did it appear in the palace of Xingqing City?
There are no answers to these questions yet.
Xu Huaigu also wanted to talk to his sister Bai about the various things he had encountered and what he had seen over the years. He also wanted to go shopping in the streets of Xingqing with his sister Bai, and also wanted to ask her about the past few years. how have you been.
But with the departure of the woman in white, these things can only be hidden in the bottom of my heart.
Many things, if a person holds them in his heart for too long, will eventually break him.
Xu Huaigu had too much to say to Bai Xiaoyu, and also had too many complicated feelings. He wanted to sort things out, but Bai Xiaoyu left so simply without saying a word. Moreover, her appearance gave people a terrifying feeling. If Xu Huaigu's life was not in danger, she would never show up.
Xu Huaigu pushed away the lifeless man in black with complicated emotions, then opened his still warm but already somewhat stiff palm, and pulled out the dagger, without rolling it into his sleeve, but holding it casually in his hand. inside.
It is true that he no longer has the spirit to hold the sword.
Since Bai Xiaoyu doesn't want to see him, he will definitely not be able to see her. His best choice is to leave the palace as soon as possible, a place of right and wrong.
In the past few days, too many strange things have happened in the palace, and many people have come in who should not have come in at all, such as the assassins of the Demon Sect, or Bai Xiaoyu, all of whom should not be in the palace. This solemn place appears, but this all appears.
The pool of water in the palace is too deep.
After Xu Huaigu picked up the sword, he looked helplessly at the direction Bai Xiaoyu left, and then walked towards the south gate of the palace.
He still expected Bai Xiaoyu to come to him, but the ominous premonition in his heart about the reason for Bai Xiaoyu's disappearance was getting stronger and stronger.
…
After Bai Xiaoyu rescued Xu Huaigu, he fell into another alley without saying a word.
Although she didn't speak, she couldn't find peace in her heart. Xu Huaigu and Li Zi have always been the two people she couldn't let go of in the world. She saw real beauty in these two children, and she hoped that this beauty could last. This was why Bai Xiaoyu would listen in the first place. Song Ru's suggestion was his original intention to join the Demon Sect.
I originally thought it would take many years before I could see Xu Huaigu and Li Zi again, but I didn't expect that they would meet again in just four years. But this sight made her feel quite uncomfortable.
The child who could only jump around and pick up all kinds of beautiful pebbles is no longer the same child.
Bai Xiaoyu didn't know how he had embarked on the path of spiritual practice now, nor did he know what experiences he had had over the years that could make him draw the sword without hesitation, or allow him to return from a dead demon safely and calmly. He calmly drew a sword from his hand.
Only if you have seen enough dead people and killed people with your own hands can you not be afraid of the dead, right?
Bai Xiaoyu felt a little sad. This was the outcome she was most afraid of when she left, but it still happened.
In fact, when Xu Huaigu was still at the ferry in Xingqing City that day, Bai Xiaoyu had already met him by chance, but he just didn't go to recognize him. That time, when she saw the fight between Xu Huaigu and the old priest, she was fascinated by the way Xu Huaigu used his sword in high spirits, but today, the same sword attack made her despair.
It was not because of victory or defeat, but because the Xu Huaigu who she saw wielding his sword that day was upright and awe-inspiring, while the Xu Huaigu who drew his sword today was calculated and calculated. She knew very clearly how much bitterness lay behind this calculation after spending four years in the Demon Sect.
She felt lonely in her heart. Xu Huaigu, who was fighting with Li Zi deep in her memory, should never come back.
Bai Xiaoyu was irritated, so she turned around and looked towards the deepest part of the alley. There was a person standing silently there, Qi Chaoshu.
Qi Chaoshu looked quite angry at this time and asked: "Why did you get involved in this matter? That child saw something he shouldn't have seen. Kill him so that our Demon Sect can really calm down and plan the layout. If that child really sees through it What, can you bear the responsibility?"
Bai Xiaoyu was also angry: "You think this scene is very good and no outsiders know about it? I think the Demon Sect branch in East Fuyao Island is taking itself more and more seriously. Such a big thing How dare you do it yourself, even other branches are kept in the dark. Do you really think that no one can tell? Liang Chen and those people are calculated by you. What about higher people, like my master, you can figure it out. How do you know? Could someone else have figured it out? It doesn’t matter if I don’t tell you about it. I saw that the child was destined to me, and I liked him, so what if I saved him? "
Qi Chaoshu's face was clouded.
This strategy was originally offered to the Demon Sect as a sign of sincerity, but when Bai Xiaoyu said it so badly, he felt very uncomfortable.
Qi Chaoshu knew that Bai Xiaoyu's identity was very special in the Demon Sect. He was one of the few good seedlings cultivated by the new generation of the Demon Sect, and his status was very high. But if that's all, she can collide with an eighth-level warrior, does she really have that much power?
Qi Chaoshu joined the Demon Sect to seek a way out, not to be angered.
He kind of wanted to take action.
However, Bai Xiaoyu still refused to give up: "I tell you, I have guaranteed this child's life, so you should stop thinking about him in the future!"
Qi Chaoshu was startled, and his expression turned from angry to calm.
Before the heavy rain comes, there is no wind.
An alley is thirty feet away, and it only takes a blink of an eye for Qi Chaoshu to be in front of her.
Just one punch.
So Qi Chaoshu did this.
But he soon regretted it.
Because the moment he was about to do this, he felt a chill in his back. He turned around and saw a woman in black, also holding an oil-paper umbrella, standing behind him.
The moment Qi Chaoshu met her eyes, he completely lost his consciousness, as if he had fallen into an abyss and a sea of stars.
There was nothing in those eyes, just pure black nothingness.
The woman in black knew that Qi Chaoshu would definitely not be able to break through the magic barrier of his eyes, and did not want to deliberately make things difficult for Qi Chaoshu, so she blinked on purpose, and Qi Chaoshu woke up from his daze.
He looked at the woman in black in front of him with only fear in his heart. This woman's cultivation was much higher than his previous eight realms.
Cold sweat broke out on Qi Chaoshu's forehead, and he clasped his fists and said, "I occasionally offend seniors, but it's because I don't see Taishan. For the sake of being in the same sect, seniors, please bear with me."
The woman in black paid no attention to him, but said to Bai Xiaoyu, "I've been here in Xingqing for so long, so I think I've had enough fun, right? When you've had enough fun, just calm down. We should hurry up and go back."
Bai Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed and said, "But Master, I haven't had enough fun yet. I want to stay in Xingqing for a few more days, is that okay?"
The woman in black said helplessly: "Okay, okay, you have this kind of temperament. If you don't have enough fun, you will never practice well. I have something to do these days, and I have to go south to explain it to Song Rui. You can do it first." Just stay in Xingqing and don't cause any big trouble."
Bai Xiaoyu nodded obediently.
The woman in black was about to leave, but then she thought of something, put away the oil-paper umbrella, and said helplessly: "By the way, I teach you to weave umbrellas, just to cultivate your mind and character. Who told you to guard these umbrellas like this every day?" Broken umbrella. It’s okay if you don’t do your job properly, but you still insist on holding an umbrella with me. What’s going on?”
Bai Xiaoyu smiled playfully and said, "That's because you have such a good temperament, Master. The umbrella I made is also beautiful. It matches so well. It would be a pity not to hold it up."
The woman in black also smiled, held up the umbrella again, and said, "You are the only one who knows how to talk."
She turned around, stepped out with one foot, and disappeared.
Qi Chaoshu watched the woman in black leave with mixed thoughts, and no longer wanted to fight with Bai Xiaoyu.
Everyone in the world doesn't know about the unparalleled woman from the Demon Sect who once caused a bloody storm on the right path. That woman was quite strange. She seemed to have a special way of dealing with the gods of mountains and rivers. Wherever she passed, the local gods of mountains and rivers used different methods to show their courtesy. If she happened to take a fancy to her, the feng shui there would become excellent.
Qi Chaoshu knew that anything involving the gods of mountains and rivers would not be trivial. Although the realm of landscape gods is not necessarily high, they are the most mysterious group of existences, and they have something in common with the true gods in the sky.
The weirdest thing about the rumor is that her eyes were born with nothingness. So there were rumors that she was the reincarnation of the white dragon in the sky, because the dragon's eyes are like this, one can see the past and the future.
After this woman became famous in the world nearly a hundred years ago, she suddenly became silent and disappeared. Qi Chaoshu did not expect to see her here today.
There are very few people who know her in this world now, but those who have lived long enough know that name - Black Eyes.
