stepping on the moon and asking green hills

High priests like the Tianyun Sect don't happen every year, sometimes every three to five years, they are all ordered by the high priest.The Western Regions have their own festivals. The day of worshiping the moon is the day when Tianyun Sect holds a grand sacrifice to Ilanur.

At this moment, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival when families in the Central Plains are reunited. Above the Gobi in the Western Regions, under the full moon that symbolizes reunion, a grand living sacrifice will be ignited by the Tianyun Sect.

Before Zhuo Jianbai put on the skirt and was "sold" to Tianyun Sect, Tang Yun made an agreement with him to meet as soon as possible tonight. go out.Jiang Mian knocked out the guards outside with the Gu-repelling silver needle that he carried with him, and then they quietly walked deeper and deeper towards the place agreed with Zhuo Jianbai.

Thousands of congregants lived in the huge "grotto" surrounded by wooden buildings. At this moment, they rushed to the place of sacrifice in the middle. The three of them were wearing dark red cloaks, and no one noticed the rushing congregants. The strange people around them held candles in their hands, bowed their heads and lowered their eyes and walked devoutly.

Tang Yun led the way and stopped when he reached an open space where the moonlight could shine. He looked around and said to the two behind him in a low voice: "The high priest is separated from here by a wall. According to the agreed time, Zhuo Jianbai will put it on in a short while." Feng'er and Young Master Fang brought them here, and rescued them first, as for the people from Bixinmen—" He glanced at Jiang Mian, and said, "Leave the people from Bixinmen to Pinglou to rescue."

Bai Qiuling worried: "There are only a few people who came in with us, and they are still placed in the front hall, I'm afraid it will be too late."

"Elder Tong has already led people to guard outside. I have replaced all the people in the Tianyun Sect in the front hall." Tang Yun said while looking up at the cold full moon in the sky. The sword spikes made by the moonlight are silvery.

Bai Qiuling stepped up to him, "Already changed? When did you..."

"Qiuqiu and I do such a dangerous thing together, how can I not be more thoughtful?" Tang Yun raised his hand and stroked the few strands of hair from Bai Qiuling's shoulders to the front, watching his black and smooth hair in the air. On his chest, there was a gentle smile on his lips unconsciously, and he said softly: "It was a risk to be with me, and what happened to Ziyang Cliff just once is enough to make me regret it."

Bai Qiuling suddenly remembered that it was also under the moon that night, he was hit by a dart in the shoulder by a sneak attacker who suddenly appeared, Tang Yun didn't have time to hold him and he fell down.

And it was the extremely dangerous time that made him understand his intentions. For him, falling off the cliff was not a very bad thing.

But Tang Yun was shocked after all, they traveled all the way west to Tianyun Sect, Tang Yun tried his best to walk every step carefully, and he could feel it.

But he was also most afraid that the person in front of him would say something about going on an adventure alone, so he also said with a smile: "The pavilion master is too considerate, I am too embarrassed to have any accidents."

"Since that's the case, then you and Mr. Jiang will take the two children out first, and I will take them to save people together. ——When you go out, take a letter to Elder Tong for me, and hurry up."

Tang Yun stood with his back to the moon, looking relaxed and comfortable, his tall and straight figure was wrapped in that pure brilliance, Bai Qiuling looked at him against the light, saw the gentle curvature of his thin lips, and the tranquility of his eyebrows and eyes Gentleness, and the love that surged towards him between every breath, and then moved his upper and lower lips, and said softly: "No."

"When Qiuqiu said that, he definitely didn't believe me." Tang Yun laughed.

Bai Qiuling stared at him for a while, then sighed: "It's not that I don't believe in you, I just don't believe in Zhuo Jianbai. The two children are the most important 'sacrifices' for tonight's great priest. With his martial arts How can we bring someone out under the noses of the Tianyun Sect, and will he really be able to come and join us smoothly?"

"Qiu Qiuguo is really smart, that's why Zhuo Jianbo doesn't trust him."

"..."

Jiang Mian was tormented by standing aside, and regretted sending Jiang Yuehui to Xuanyue Palace more and more.

He looked left and right, and he didn't see Zhuo Jianbai's figure from the north and south directions, and he didn't worry when he met the two people in front of him "Qingqing, me, me".

After thinking for a while, he whispered, "If you two can trust me, I'll take the two children out. I'll follow what they say, and even if I get stopped on the way, I won't reveal my secret..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qiuling seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and immediately responded: "Okay, when you arrive at the front hall, someone will meet you, and the pavilion master and I will see you off."

"That--"

"They are here."

There were different footsteps coming from a stone alley in the darkness, one light, one heavy, one fast and one slow. After finishing speaking, Tang Yun quietly dodged to hide behind the stones on one side, and immediately made a gesture to Bai Qiuling and Jiang Mian. The silence gesture.

Bai Qiuling and Jiang Mian stood on the same ground and looked at each other, and then heard Zhuo Jianbai shouting anxiously not far away: "What nonsense are you talking about! There is danger ahead, run slowly!"

Then the two saw a child wearing a silver robe with a flushed face rushing into the beam of moonlight in front of them, standing in front of them gasping for breath.Sweat rolled down the sides of his cheeks, and he lifted the hat on his head, his hair was already wet with sweat.

The child swallowed and wanted to speak, but after standing there thinking for a moment, he turned around, pointed at Zhuo Jianbai behind him and moved his lips.

"..." He tried his best to speak, but his upper and lower lips opened and closed but he couldn't make a sound.

Zhuo Jianbai also slowed down in the distance, and finally stopped at the junction of light and darkness.He shouted to the child whose eyes were shining under the moonlight: "Don't run away, you can't escape by yourself."

At this point, Bai Qiuling finally noticed something was wrong.Such a young child has been trapped in this strange Western Region for so many days, why would he run away when he sees someone he used to be familiar with?He took a cautious step forward and slowly approached the child.

"Did Pavilion Master Tang come with you?" Zhuo Jianbai asked with a half-smile, but tilted his head to look at Jiang Mian and Bai Qiuling behind the child.

Bai Qiuling hesitated for a moment, then said: "He will act separately from us, and he should go to save Jiangmen Master and the others right now."

"That's it...that's true. You are few in number, so you should split up." Zhuo Jianbai nodded thoughtfully, still bowed his head and smiled, and took another step forward.

He stood in the dark, Bai Qiuling could only vaguely see the corners of his lips curled up, and then turned his head to look at Jiang Mian, his thumb had already pushed Qing Yu out half an inch.

The moment Zhuo Jianbai walked out of the darkness, the two clearly saw that he was no longer wearing the pink dress, and there was a cold smile on his brows and eyes, and they moved their hands at the same time without hesitation.

Zhuo Jianbai didn't see his saber in his hand, instead it became a sharp weapon in his hand with the horrifying death energy all over his body. In the void, his five fingers seemed to hold a powerful force tightly, and his knuckles turned white when they were bent , slowly raised one hand from his side.

The moment he raised his hand and palmed out, something happened suddenly, Jiang Mian's ear pierced through the oncoming palm wind, and the white silk satin danced lightly from the cold moonlight towards the motionless child—— Bai Qiu ordered Luoyun to come out of his sleeve and shattered Zhuo Jianbai's palm that would tear the moonlight apart. The white silk cloth swirled quickly, and just when his palm was about to be slapped down, it rolled the child aside.

But Zhuo Jianbai was too fast, he could only go faster.

After Luoyunshou swept the child away, he had no more buffering power. Seeing that little figure was about to smash into the rocks beside him, his eyes froze, and he flew over without caring about others, and instinctively opened his arms to throw the person away. She hugged her in her arms and slammed her back against the rocks.

The child curled up in Bai Qiuling's arms in horror. Zhuo Jianbai rushed over again when he saw that the blow failed. Guo Zhuo Jianbai's ears were nailed to the rocks behind him.

"So you are—"

Jiang Mian leaned back to avoid Zhuo Jianbai's slap in front of him, held his breath and leaned back to the left, holding two peach blossom darts between his fingers, and hit Zhuo Jianbai's face directly as the words fell. out.Zhuo Jianbai immediately raised his palm to meet him, the dart hit the internal force circulating in his palm, and immediately turned around and flew towards Bai Qiuling and the child he was holding.

"Be careful!" Jiang Mian exclaimed, he also knew that he couldn't stop the Peach Blossom Dart he shot out with all his strength, but his body still reacted one step ahead of his brain, and flied out with ease.

Almost at the same time, the "broken fan" that Zhuo Jianbai had seen suddenly flew out from behind a rock on one side, and the peach blossom dart hit the delicate golden nanmu fan bone with a ding, and the attack was slowed down, but Jiang Mian's sharp eyes quickly retracted it .

Jiang Mian flew in front of Bai Qiuling and said anxiously, "Are you alright?!"

Bai Qiuling shook his head, and sent the child into his arms, "Take him out, the people in the front hall are in the castle, go!"

Zhuo Jianbai obviously didn't intend to leave here alive. Seeing Tang Yun walking out slowly from behind the stone with a fan, he shook his sleeves and raised his hand to hit him.Tang Yun stepped aside, blocked the shattered flying stones with his fan, and said to Zhuo Jianbai with a sneer, "If I were you, you would definitely not fight me here."

"Oh, I'd like to see how many people you can take care of,—the milk doll in Xuanyue Palace will be sacrificed in a moment, even if I can't beat you, you can't save me if I delay you for a while They!" As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuo Jianbai quickly backed away, raised his palm and knocked down the boulder above the exit of the alleyway, the stone fell and blocked Jiang Mian's way of retreating.He tightly protected the shivering child in his arms with his arms, and when he rolled over, he knocked his forehead on the stone, and even bright red blood came out.

The child tremblingly stretched out his hand to wipe the blood on his cheek, and he himself wiped it with his sleeve, comforting the pale child in a gentle voice: "It's okay."

The moment Qing Yu was unsheathed, the moon shone on the sword with a cold light. Bai Qiuling had already blocked Jiang Mian with his sword. Zhuo Jianbai.It was beyond his expectation that Zhuo Jianbai would use the palm - he was even more surprised that he was using the Haoyue palm.

Tang Yun closed his fan and took two steps forward, and asked with a smile, "Why do you think you can stop me for a while?"

Bai Qiuling saw that he still had a smile on his face, but he also truly felt the killing intent that he hadn't seen for a long time.He clenched Qingyu tightly in his hand, and moved his footsteps following Zhuo Jianbai's face, for fear that he would suddenly attack the two behind him.

Zhuo Jianbai was about to speak, but Tang Yun interrupted him with a frown: "No, I should first ask you why you know Haoyue Palm."

"..."

"Forget it, you should explain who you are in the end. You may not have time to say so much." After speaking, Tang Yun turned around and glanced at the stones behind him, leaned over and blew away the gravel and stones on his face in one breath. Dust simply lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down, patted the seat beside him and waved to Bai Qiuling, "Qiuqiu, sit here."

Bai Qiuling: "...don't make trouble."

"He talked for a while, so it doesn't take much time. From that day of the martial arts conference to today, I have left him a lot of 'one and a half moments'. If he finds a place to hide from now on, let me find him for the rest of his life." Less than—living like a dog, I might spare his life."

Hearing Tang Yun's harsh words, Zhuo Jianbai finally couldn't bear it anymore. He rushed towards Tang Yun with all his palms together, but Tang Yun slapped Tang Yun firmly on his left shoulder first. With his shoulders on his shoulders, he turned over and stood up again with his palms pointing.

He was restless and impatient, although his offensive was fierce, it was full of flaws. Tang Yun just sat on the spot and greeted him with a fan, and he had already resolved all his offensives.

Bai Qiuling became more and more puzzled, but more curious - he wanted to know how high Tang Yun's martial arts was.Zhuo Jianbai is not someone who is easy to imitate Haoyue Palm, so he shouldn't be so fragile and vulnerable.

Tang Yun pinched Zhuo Jianbai's wrist precisely at the right time, restrained the relaxed expression on his face, exerted force on his hand, and there was a crisp sound, "It's half a quarter, if it's less than half a quarter, You will be rewarded for letting you die."

Zhuo Jianbai's wrist was in severe pain, he clenched his molars and squeezed out a few words: "How do you know it's me..."

"You're so stupid." Tang Yun stood up, still pinching his wrist, almost crushing his wrist bone, "The picture I gave you - I scribbled it for you.

I was not so sure before your picture, but you finally found it, and I was not disappointed at all.But it’s all over—

"The most stupid thing you have is to send someone to kill Sister Qing."

"How could you--ah!" Zhuo Jianbai cried out in pain, accompanied by the crisp cracking sound of his wrist bones, hitting the stone wall back and forth under the moonlight. Bai Qiuling saw that Tang Yun was still standing under the moon against the light, with anger and sadness intertwined in his eyes Turning around, he subconsciously called out Tang Yun's name.

He walked forward, stepping on the moonlight, his slowly raised arms trembling slightly, he heard the sound of bones breaking, but he couldn't take his eyes off Tang Yun like that.

There was a little wind in his ears. He had seen Tang Yun's overwhelming anger, he had seen Tang Yun's fresh life disappear when he lifted the fan, he had also seen Tang Yun being captured in embarrassment in front of him, and he had seen the process of being green When he was dying, the man lost control of his grief - he slowly lowered his arms, stopped and stood on the spot, and then his five fingers trembled and clenched into fists hanging by his side.

He trembled just looking at Tang Yun's expression.

It was as if he followed his breathing and found the most painful place in his body. In a trance, Bai Qiuling saw that it was a place full of thorns and strange rocks, but there was still a living heart beating vigorously. He took a step closer to that place. The thorns spread out a little, and the copper and iron walls made of jagged stones broke a little.The sound of the wind in his ears was gone, as if stepping on the moon into the sparkling water in Tang Yun's eyes, surrounded by the sound of the thorns that tightly wrapped the heart being split open and the sound of strange rocks rumbling and collapsing.

Standing beside Tang Yun, he saw the pool of water rippling, almost breaking through the precarious dam.

"How, how do you know...Pfft!" Zhuo Jianbai received Tang Yun's slap from the front. This slap mercilessly broke his ribs. The broken bones in the chest seemed to be the pierced heart and lungs. The pain made him unable to breathe for a long time.

Tang Yun raised his head slightly, and the deep pool that Bai Qiuling saw no longer rippled.

"How could someone who approached silently and then easily killed Sister Qing be caught so easily? There was clearly someone else in Taohuajian that day. When I chased him out, I heard different footsteps and breathing. The sound is exactly the same as the breath and footsteps when you walked out just now.

"Besides, you can enter and leave Taohuajian at will, so you are not hiding in Taohuajian for a while, what is the relationship between you and Shan Sanyuan!"

"Heh..." Zhuo Jianbai held his heart and vomited blood continuously. He knew that he was at the end of his battle, and when he saw Tang Yun in front of him, even if his hands were stained with blood, he still looked graceful, so he raised his hand to wipe his lips. With the blood on the horns, he forced a smile and said: "You people from the Central Plains...are invincible, cough, cough cough, but your parents died at the hands of our Western Regions many years ago...your sister, and your most trusted person, It's all—uh!"

Suddenly a breeze swept over Bai Qiuling's face, Tang Yun raised his sleeves and retracted his hands so quickly that he didn't even see clearly, before Zhuo Jianbai finished speaking, he fell on his back, steaming blood gushing from his neck It flowed out from time to time, and soon gathered on the ground to become a pool of deep red, reflecting the full moon in the sky, making people shudder to see it.

"I said to keep you for half a moment, it's half a moment." Looking sideways at Zhuo Jianbai who was clutching his neck and struggling, Tang Yun walked over with a sneer, raised one leg and stepped on his heart, and then exerted a little force Stepped on him until his chest collapsed.

Bai Qiuling heard the sound of broken bones again, and Zhuo Jianbai's desperate grunt in his throat.

He has seen Tang Yun kill people, he can kill others in an instant when the folding fan flies out, but he has never seen him torture people to death like this, there is no extra emotion in his eyes, and his whole body is colder than the silver moonlight on a little.

After a while, Zhuo Jianbai finally died. Before he died, he still exhausted his last strength and turned to the direction of the moon, as if devoutly completing a tragic sacrifice to his Elanur. .
