Big Moon Ballad

"Don't be afraid, after this ceremony, you won't be in pain anymore."

"Remember, you must not take off your mask until you reach the second level."

"Swear to me, swear you will never go out."

Ying Baoyue floated up and down in the dream, and in front of her eyes was the face of little Li Ji for a while, and the mask on the face of Da Li Ji for a while.

"I have an unkind request."

In the small courtyard of Soochow, the sky was about to darken, the man who was about to participate in the intermediate ceremony said gently.

"I want to trouble you to help me seal the acupoint with the golden needle."

That was the first time she saw Li Ji's body without clothes on.

In the dream, Ying Baoyue saw the scene when the man took off his shirt in front of her.

After she had inserted the gold needles one by one, she said softly, "Don't turn around and listen to me."

"I'm hiding something very important from you."

"I will become a heavenly rank, and when that time comes, I will tell you about it."

Faced with Li Ji's trust in her willingness to put her life in her hands, her conscience broke out and she prepared to choose a time to confess her identity and bear Li Ji's anger of revenge.

She hid a lot of secrets from Li Ji, but she discovered through acupuncture that there were also many secrets in Li Ji.

"Li Ji, is there... is there something in your body?"

That's what she asked then.

Just as she was giving him the needle, when it reached a certain position, the golden needle popped out, not only failed to get in, but pierced her hand instead.

Ying Baoyue clearly remembered that position.

In the sixth section of the spine, it happens to be the position of the heart of the human body.

At that time, she inserted the needle from Li Ji's back, and she didn't even touch the bone. She just accidentally touched the outer edge, and she suffered a huge rebound.

At that time, she faintly sensed that there seemed to be something deep in Li Ji's body.

But when I asked Li Ji, he was also at a loss, and said that Dongfang Yi checked his body and found nothing.

Ying Baoyue slowly stretched out her hand, she still remembered the feeling of touching the skin on Li Ji's back.

At first glance, it looks the same as the surrounding skin, but it is actually much harder, smooth but hard.

When she was a child, she used to stroke something like this.

That is……

Ying Baoyue opened her eyes suddenly and sat up from the ground.

The dream is over.

She came back to reality.Although it is the reality of the past.

Ying Baoyue found herself lying beside the tree that Xiao Li Ji had been peeking at before.She supported the tree to stand up straight, her eyes were still hurting badly, and they turned black, but everything around her was no longer blue.

"Has the blue light disappeared?"

Ying Baoyue looked around slowly. The surrounding trees were bleak and yellow leaves were withered, as if swept by a strong wind, but the branches were shaking normally, and the flow of time had returned to normal.

However, the next moment, Ying Baoyue sensed something was wrong.

The strong smell of blood filled her nostrils.

Ying Baoyue turned her head slowly.

Behind her was a hell of flesh and blood.

The corpses of three thousand cavalrymen fell across the forest, some were broken in half, some limbs were torn off, and some were smeared to the ground.

On the outer edge of the corpses of three thousand cavalrymen were the corpses of hundreds of high-level practitioners.

Almost all of these people died in groups of two on the ground, with their own swords stuck in their bodies. They fought together and died together. Some gnawed each other's flesh in their mouths, and some inserted their hands and feet into each other's bodies.

The entire forest turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, like a battlefield after a large army crossed the border.

Ying Baoyue stood up with the trunk of the tree, and walked towards the dead people not far away like sleepwalking.

She suddenly remembered what other practitioners had said about Shao Siming when she participated in the primary ceremony.

"Hey! That's a demon girl. To say she is a witch is to be taken lightly, but she is really a devil, killing people like hemp!"

"Eight years ago, in front of the cloud forest, that woman went on a killing spree. She killed three thousand cavalrymen and more than 100 high-level practitioners. Even the ground was stained red!"

She went on a killing spree eight years ago, killing [-] cavalry and [-] high-level practitioners?
It seems to refer to this matter.

Ying Baoyue slowly inspected the corpses all over the ground, and understood the cause of their death from the actions of these people before they died.

Except for the black armored soldier who rushed to her and was killed by her at the beginning, everyone else died of cannibalism.

Especially among the hundreds of high-level practitioners who arrived later, none of them were killed by her, and all of them fought each other to death.

What is the power that makes such practitioners kill each other?

Ying Baoyue fell silent.

Even she, a general who walked out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood on the battlefield, had never seen such a strange scene.

The only thing she could think of was the blue light she saw before she passed out.

At that time, the cultivators and black armor soldiers in the forest were all shrouded in this blue light.

Ying Baoyue remembered that before she passed out, she did hear the sound of swords behind her.

It seems that this group of soldiers and practitioners are killing each other.

Will living people lose their minds and fall into madness when the blue light penetrates their bodies?
Ying Baoyue felt a chill in her heart, and suddenly remembered something.

"Chunlan? Lan Niang?"

What about Li Chunlan?

When she just walked over, she didn't see Li Chunlan's figure.

Ying Baoyue walked to the place where Li Chunlan was originally based on memory. There was thick blood and mud on the ground, but there was no one, not even a trace of corpse bones.

Ying Baoyue knelt down slowly and stuck her hand into the bloody mud.

Her fingertips touched something hard.

Ying Baoyue withdrew her hand from the mud and looked at the silver hairpin held by her fingertips.

The silver hairpin was stained with blood.

Ying Baoyue clenched the hairpin tightly and looked at the bloody mud on the ground.

The blue light rolled over, the living went crazy, and the dead burned up.

The silver armor that Li Chunlan had removed had disappeared without a trace.But no one could explain why this silver hairpin stayed and did not melt.

"Lan Niang, are you trying to tell me?"

Ying Baoyue opened her mouth, but finally said nothing.

She can't cry, can't be discouraged, and can't stay.

This girl has already stayed here forever instead of her.She is not qualified to cry out for pain anymore, nor is she qualified to hide here.

Ying Baoyue stood up, found some intact stones from the forest, and piled them up to where the blood mud was.

After finishing all this, Ying Baoyue placed the silver hairpin in his hand on top of the tallest stone, bowed and closed his eyes, clasping his hands together.

She knew that Li Meiniang would find this place in the future, and she would take this silver hairpin back and take Li Chunlan home.

And she couldn't wait for that time.

She has other places to go.

Ying Baoyue opened her eyes, and finally looked back at Man Lin's body.

It wasn't her who killed all the practitioners, but she knew that the blame would all be pinned on her head in the future.

But Ying Baoyue didn't care.

She only cares about one thing.

Ying Baoyue looked at the big tree not far away.

The figure of Xiao Li Ji hiding behind the tree seems to be still vivid.

Where did Li Ji go?

At that time, he didn't listen to her explanation and turned around and ran away.But he can't be blamed for this. When such a thing happened, Xiao Li Ji's body and mind should be in a chaotic stage at that time, and he could only act according to instinct.

"Listen well, if something happens and I don't come back, you go out of the forest, run eastward, and find a man named Dongfang Yi."

When she left the study, she once explained this to Xiao Li Ji.

According to what she learned later, Li Ji did successfully find Dongfang Yi and became the adopted son of the Eastern Wu State Teacher.

At least Li Ji ran out of the cloud forest, so he should be safe.

Nothing should have happened in between, right?
Ying Baoyue was a little restless, but she had no time to look for Xiao Liji anymore.

According to her memory, she was going to that place next.

Ying Baoyue raised her head and looked at the road ahead.

Those who blocked her were all dead.

She can go to Efang Palace now.
