Chapter 67 The Demon under the Moon (3)
In the dead of night, it was already curfew time, and the moonlight was excellent. She had a signboard of the Supervisor of Rituals hanging on her waist, and the officers and men who patrolled the city saw the sign and did not question her much.

She walked slowly on the quiet streets of Shangjing. It was already June, and the weather was hot during the day, but at night there was a cool breeze, and it was cool and quiet.

The fragrance of evening primrose in the air came with the wind, reminding her of those free and easy days before returning to Beijing. Although there were disputes in the Jianghu, the Cangjian Pavilion was the place where many well-known black and white figures in the history of the Jianghu kept their weapons after they washed their hands. Where there is a different sacred status, there are not many people who dare to invade at will.

At that time, even if it was to travel around the rivers and lakes with the master, eat and sleep in the open air, it was better than a bunch of bad things after returning to the capital.

She always likes to walk at night with a green lantern after gathering with her friends, watching the boundless wind and moon, the night wind blowing on her face, and smelling the wild tuberose.

"If I had known today, I wouldn't have returned to the capital if I didn't say what Qiu'er said." Qiu Yebai smiled and looked at the moon and sighed. She is actually a lazy person. I also don't like getting into disputes.

"Wouldn't it be a pity for Xiaobai not to return to the capital?" The faint and cool voice floated with the wind, with a slight smile but extremely pleasant.

It's just that this pleasant voice abruptly woke up Qiu Yebai's original slightly drunkenness. She stopped in her tracks and looked forward coldly.Not far away, I saw a stunning beauty in red with black hair leaning quietly on the railing of a small wooden arch bridge.

He leaned lazily against the bridge pillar, holding an exquisite pipa in his arms. He never tied his hair up, but simply tied his knee-length Liuyunqing silk behind his head with a red rope, and the loose hair hanging by his ears followed The night breeze swayed gently, with a sense of laziness, and the beautiful woman in colorful clothes was fragrant under the moon.

But it is cannibalism.

She suddenly remembered that Baili Chu in the tunnel would still get angry, angry, ridiculed, and cold-eyed, but after she came out, when she saw him, even when he said the ridicule, he also had a gentle smile, just with her His natural gentle smile is different. His smile is set off by his pair of delicate but animal-like inorganic and emotionless eyes, which is especially... weird.

Normally, a smile is a kind of mask for people like them, but the man in front of her doesn't mind at all being seen that the smile on the corner of his lips is vain and shallow, like the epiphyllum in the water, more illusory than the moonlight , and more ethereal.

"The clear moon is chasing the bright moon, and Youmei hugs the qin song. I dare to ask where the fairy Mei Niang or the bone girl flower demon came from on the bridge?" Seeing that she couldn't hide, Qiu Yebai simply sneered lazily, Not afraid to provoke that person.

Originally, I was thinking about the time I made a fool of him. If I were an ordinary person, I'm afraid she would grit her teeth with hatred or shame. In short, she would not want to see her so quickly. Once, he didn't catch her on the spot, thinking that he had verified his judgment.

But he forgot that the person in front of him is a pervert, and a pervert cannot be judged by common sense.

Baili Chu plucked the qin in his arms, looked at Qiu Yebai and smiled: "Xiaobai, you forgot the January appointment, huh?"

Qiu Yebai was stunned for a moment, then pulled the corners of his lips, yes, this is a vampire, and his gorgeous appearance is not in vain, worthy of such a gorgeous and noble ghost name.

She flicked her sleeves, and a thin dagger came out, but Bai Lichu casually stopped her movement: "Xiaobai, if you drink wine today, the taste of blood will not be strong enough. Last two days."

Qiu Yebai retracted the dagger in his hand, sniffed lightly, two days?

Auntie brewed for you!

"Since His Highness is fine, I will go back home first." Qiu Yebai said plainly, she didn't want to get entangled with him, this monster represented two words - trouble.

Bai Lichu didn't stop him, he just lazily played the pipa in his arms: "Xiao Bai, is my third brother interesting tonight?"

Qiu Yebai just pretended not to hear, she just walked past him with big strides without any expression on her face, she only had to shout "Good dog does not block the way!"I'm not interested in the messy things in your house, get out!
Qiu Yebai's intuition for danger is quite accurate, the less he knows about some things, the better.

But when passing by Bailichu's side, he heard him say leisurely: "Xiaobai, guess if the third brother recognized that the person lying in his room was you?"

Qiu Yebai stopped in her tracks, raised her eyebrows and looked at the ground: "What do you want to say, Your Highness?"

Bai Lichu curled up his lips with a half-smile: "Xiaobai, you belong to me, so you don't have to worry about your affairs, just take care of your own future."

Qiu Ye was stunned. She looked at Baili Chu's eye feathers, which were as delicate as peacock feathers, and there was a stream of light reflected from the light moonlight on them, and she couldn't see his expression clearly.

"His Highness said those words in King Ding's room today to let me understand the mystery of Qiushan?"

Baili Chu plucked a faint and lazy piano sound with his fingertips, and sighed: "I just don't want my Xiaobai to be like a headless fly, how pitiful."

Such pity-like sigh words came out of his mouth, but the ending sound was faint, making people feel that the whisper was whispering in the ear, with a touch of ecstasy.

Qiu Yebai shivered abruptly, and said: "Then don't bother you, if you can stay away from me, I will not be so pitiful."

She didn't hesitate anymore, and walked past him to leave.

This time, Bailichu didn't stop her again, waiting for Qiu Yebai to walk out of a stone's throw away, she could still hear the indistinct sound of the pipa floating far away, accompanied by the melodious but bleak singing .

"There are trees in the south, you can't stop thinking about it, and there are wandering women in Han Dynasty, you can't think about it. The Han Dynasty is so vast, you can't think about it..."

The singing is low and sandy, but very pleasant to the ear, accompanied by the sound of a pipa, which is strangely seductive under the moonlight. From a distance, on the black wooden bridge, under the moonlight, a beauty in red is singing with her qin in her arms, her wide sleeves hanging down, But he can't see his face clearly, it's both illusion and reality, like a human being but not a human being.

Under the bridge, there are carp jumping lightly, the dark and quiet water splashes broken water, and the silver light splashes on the lotus leaf fields.

There is no one in the middle of the night, and time seems to have stopped.

Qiu Yebai looked at it quietly, and suddenly understood why the fox demon and flower ghost in Pu Songling's night talk legends are so captivating and make people lose their minds.

People always have an uncontrollable desire to explore and infringe on the unknown and beautiful things protruding from a corner of the darkness, but they don’t know that it may be themselves who will be tempted the next moment, dragged into the boundless darkness and devoured to nothing.

So her curiosity about things that have nothing to do with her has always been limited.

but……

She rubbed her nose and thought to herself, although it was sung by Bai Lichu as an evocative song, "Nanyouqiaomu" is a song about a man courting a woman in "The Book of Songs". The servant is implying something.
