The moon was dark, the wind was high, and the trees were heavily shadowed. He ran wildly in the forest.
The dark forest is like a dormant monster, swallowing up all light. Dark clouds piled up, and the moon struggled to reveal half of its face, but it was quickly swallowed up. He panicked and dived into the bushes and thorns. The sharp thorns pierced his body. The burning pain made his mind clear for a moment.
He tried to hold his breath and remain still, with all the senses in his body on high alert.
For a moment, a white figure passed by like a ghost, and his heart was in his throat.
The figure paused for a moment, then drifted away. He took a deep breath and was about to climb out of the thorn bush, when suddenly a strong wind swept across the plains, and a sword energy tore open the bush. When he saw something bad, he was about to run away, when a white light flashed, and there was a familiar biting chill. Passed down his throat...
At dawn, he dragged his tired body back. Looking far into the distance, you can see mountains surrounded by lush green trees, and the white sand lake at the foot of the mountains is sparkling. His destination was the small town at the foot of the mountain. It was said to be a city, but in fact it was a small town surrounded by giant wooden fences. There were thatched houses and wooden houses dotted here and there. At this time, smoke was rising from the cooking pots, people were flowing in, and it was a prosperous scene.
When he came to the city gate, he found that the fence gate was closed tightly. Several city defenders shouted to him from afar as if they were faced with a formidable enemy: "Liu Mu, you are not welcome in Qiyue City from today on. Please leave immediately." !”
He stood still and continued to listen to the verbal attacks from these people.
"After you came to the city, the number of 'ghost' killer attacks on the city increased several times. People in the city are panicked. Everyone thinks that all this is because of you!"
"You have such a weird face and four moles on your forehead. Everyone openly calls you Liumu, but secretly they call you a monster!"
"Yes, I clearly saw you being killed by the 'ghost' killer, with blood splattered on the spot. Why do you come back to life every time? Are you honestly a goblin? Or a monster?"
"It doesn't matter if you were killed. How many people have died because of you. Don't you feel a little bit guilty?"
There was nothing new about these familiar words, and his ears almost became calloused. He glanced at several faces with cold eyes, "Open the door quickly, or the 'ghost' assassin comes again, I will take him to the city gate and I will hold you back until I die!"
The few people guarding the city were extremely frightened, their eyes wandered, and they were panic-stricken.
He stopped drinking again, and those people quickly opened the city gate, not daring to look at him.
"When I have weapons, I'll start with you. I want to see if you can be resurrected after death!"
After the threat was over, several people's faces were ashen and silent, and Liu Mu felt very satisfied.
As he walked through the busy streets, everyone looked at him with a mixture of horror and anger. Someone threw an egg and hit him on the forehead, which was then attacked by vegetables and debris. Liu Mu was not panicked, this scene had become the norm these days.
He turned into a secluded alley, and the angry curses behind him gradually faded away. His home is a low thatched house on the edge of the woods. The fence in the courtyard is dilapidated and dilapidated.
The furnishings in the house are very simple, with wooden tables, chairs and a broken bed being all the belongings. Liu Mu sat still for a long time, his face reflected in the bronze mirror, stained but extremely handsome. He gently lifted up his long hair on his forehead, and there were four bloody moles arranged neatly on it, as if they were man-made, which was very strange.
While he was thinking, a chuckle came from the window: "Everyone is shouting at the rat crossing the street, but I didn't expect you to be so calm and composed?"
Turning around with six eyes, he saw a young man walking in through the curtain, looking very majestic, but he was very unfamiliar.
"Brother, if you just want to see me in despair, your goal has been achieved!"
The man smiled and gave him his hand, "I'm Xue Ting, who belongs to the 'Blood Shadow' detachment."
Liu Mu was surprised. Although he had only been in the city for more than three months, the name of the "Blood Shadow" detachment was well known. It was said that they were all hard-blooded young men, led by the city lord himself. They had faced off against the "Ghost Assassin" and escaped unharmed. It's unbelievable that such a legendary figure appears in front of us.
Xue Ting was very impressed by his surprised expression, "It seems that we are still quite famous, so there is no need to explain. I am inviting you to come and talk on behalf of the city lord."
The two of them walked side by side. Xue Ting was wearing long-sleeved white clothes, chic and elegant, but he was unkempt and ragged. The contrast was so strong that the people leading the way stopped to watch.
The road in the city has nine twists and turns, like a chessboard. There is a two-story wooden building in the middle, which is slightly taller than the buildings next to it. Xue Ting led him up the stairs. The hall on the second floor was very spacious, with two rows of Taishi chairs. However, the hall was empty and there was no one around.
Liu Mu was not polite and sat down in the central chair. Xue Ting frowned. It was obvious that that was not the place where he should sit. At this time, the curtain in the inner room was lifted, and a woman came out. This woman has a beautiful face and a slim figure, and I can't help but look at her more.
But the man's cold eyes swept over his face, "The city lord is feeling unwell and is resting in the inner room. I will pass the message on my behalf."
Liu Mu disagreed, "I heard that the city lord formed the 'Blood Shadow' detachment to fight against the 'ghost'. He is a great hero that everyone respects. Why are you still ashamed to see others?"
The woman responded coldly, "The city lord summoned you to praise you, so don't show your advantage with words! Let me ask you questions, and the city lord will naturally understand everything!"
Liu Mu saw that the method of stimulating generals was not effective, so he sat down quietly and waited for the woman to ask questions.
"Let me guess your identity first. Seeing how casual you are when meeting the city lord, you are either a rich and powerful person, or a rogue in the market!"
"Looking at your enchanting steps, like the wind swinging lotus leaves, you must be a concubine and a singer!"
The two exchanged words, and the smell of gunpowder arose. The woman did not get angry, but only responded coldly: "Now I can confirm that you are a scoundrel!"
Next to him, Xue Ting quickly smoothed things over, "Yingyue, do business first and ask questions quickly."
Yingyue's gaze softened, "The city lord wants to know why you are immortal? And how did you recover after being killed?"
Liu Mu stood up and was very close to Ying Yue. He suddenly noticed a trace of shyness and anger flashing through her beautiful eyes, just like an ordinary girl. "I also want to know why I am immortal. As for the feeling after death..." He turned behind Yingyue and traced her pink neck with his fingertips. "A biting chill spread from here, It spreads throughout the body, and then suddenly wakes up.”
The blood vessels on Yingyue's neck were beating rapidly, and she felt extremely nervous. "Then did you bleed? Or have any wounds?"
Liu Mu raised his head to show her his neck, "I don't seem to be bleeding or injured."
"This is strange! Do you have super self-healing ability?" Yingyue murmured to herself.
"You have asked so many questions, and I also have questions to ask. What city is this? Who are we?"
"This city is called Qiyue City. It comes from the fact that the moon reflected in Baisha Lake is extremely huge when the full moon is full. But the residents in the city prefer to call it the 'City of Killings'. You know why. The earliest residents came from five years ago. The city lord is one of them, but there are not many of the earliest residents left.”
"These folk opinions are consistent, and I want to know some more in-depth information."
Yingyue and Xue Ting exchanged glances and continued: "Our 'Blood Shadow' detachment has traveled in four directions and encountered towering cliffs on the east, west, north, and west. The rocks are white and smooth and cannot be climbed. There is a mysterious tower in the far south. The mountain peaks are surrounded by dense forests and are infested by giant monsters. We tried to enter several times, but we encountered monsters and lost several brothers before returning without success."
Xue Ting interjected: "We judge that the white cliff has reached the horizon, and heading south is the only way to escape."
"As for your second question, I'm just as confused as you are. We all suddenly woke up and appeared here without any previous memories. We can't even recall our names. Moreover, both men and women in the city are young adults and have not grown up. Experience, no children are born, we seem to have fallen from the sky.”
"Looks like the question is in vain!" Liumu said, standing up to leave, Yingyue reached out to stop him: "I also want to convey the instructions of the city lord, hoping that you will join our 'Blood Shadow' detachment."
"You want me to work for you? That's a good idea, but it's a pity that I'm not interested!"
"The city lord said that as long as you join the 'Blood Shadow' detachment, you will have a handy short weapon."
Yingyue's words surprised him, "But as far as I know, there is no iron ore here, and the living utensils are all wood, stone, and pottery. How can there be weapons?"
"You don't have to doubt this, what I said is all the truth!" Yingyue said, her body flew past quickly, and a grand master's chair beside her silently split into two halves, with the break as smooth as a cut.
Liumu was no longer interested and stretched, "You continue to do your tricks, I am also sleepy. I want to find a warm and fragrant land of soft jade to enjoy as much as I want!"
He passed by Xue Ting and had a small package in his hand, "These will be my reward for this trip. You're welcome. Goodbye!"
Xue Ting still wanted to take back his money bag, but Yingyue gently waved her hand to let him leave.
Liumu returned to his cozy nest, filled his stomach with dry food at will, and then fell asleep. When he woke up, the night was dimming and the moon was on the branches. He got up and lit the lamp, and the dim light illuminated the hut.
At this time, the door of the hut opened, and a village girl walked in. She had a pretty face, a blushing face, and the rippling autumn waves in her eyes hit her six eyes at once. He stood still and allowed the village girl to peel off his clothes like bamboo shoots until he was completely naked.
"Is it possible that I haven't woken up from the dream?" He wondered in his heart.
When the woman's fingertips traced his back, he was sure that this was not a dream. Is this the pinnacle of life, when all your wishes come true? Although he had thousands of questions in his mind, he could never let down the beauty who threw himself into his arms. He would be punished by God if he remained undisturbed.
He began to devote himself to the beauty's caress. The oil lamp went out and the cabin returned to darkness. In the quiet night, he could only hear the sound of heavy breathing...
After the passion, Liu Mu did not fall asleep. The beauty's skin was as smooth as jade, and her forearms were still wrapped around her neck. He didn't dare to speak or ask, for fear that the slightest noise would scare away the person in his arms.
He caressed the intoxicating skin and thought to himself, "Who is she? Is she a prostitute? Or a prostitute?"
He thought about it and slowly fell asleep...
