Chapter 25: Evil

Lin Rufei saw the demon of Xie, and also saw the green ears in his arms that had no interest. Xie Zhiyue's waist-white bone sword was incompatible with his black suit. He held the sword and held the green ears in his arms. His expression was sometimes cold and tender, like a madness.
Lin Rufei called his name from afar: "The demon."
Xie Zhiyue was still unheard of, still standing in the courtyard. No one dared to step forward in Xie's house, and all kneeled down at the new homeowner, calling out, "Master."
Xie Zhiyue did not respond, lowered his head, and kissed the soft ears of Lu ears.
Lin Rufei came to him and whispered, "The demon."
Xie Zhimon then returned to his heart, and saw Lin Rufei standing in front of himself, and said, "Why didn't Xiao Chi go?"
Lin Rufei said, "I ... I'm worried about you."
"Worry about me?" Xie Zhiyue said, "Why worry about me? I'm fine, can't ... better." He smiled suddenly, his face was naive that he could only see when he was young, he said, "Aren't you going to send invitations elsewhere? The weather is good today, and I just spent the Canglan River Gorge. In a few days, I am afraid that it will be the rainy season, and it will be inconvenient to cross the river."
From Moyucheng to other places, there must be a precipitous waterway. In the waterway, there are occasional dragons. As long as the ship encounters it, it will be a lifetime.
"Give me the invitation." Xie Zhiyue smiled at Lin Rufei. "Xie Fu is not a good place. You should have left earlier."
Lin Rufei stopped talking, but when he saw the demon Xie and the green ears in his arms, he couldn't say anything. From the ring, he took out the invitation of Jianhui and gave it to Xie Zhiyue. Xie Zhiyin took the invitation and shoved it in his own cuff. He handed a trembling servant and asked him to send him away without expression, and then looked for a reliable boat by the Canglan River. Send Lin Gongzi across the river.
The servant trembled well.
After speaking, Xie Zhiyue left, his back was indifferent, and Lin Rufei's mouth failed to call the demon. He returned to the room with a gloomy look, and Gu Xuandu stunned the weather outside, saying that the weather today is really good, and the evening sunset must be beautiful if he wants to come.
Lin Rufei looked up, but saw the sky covered with clouds, the wind was hunting, although it was not raining, but it was also a cloudy day, he said: "The weather is good?"
Gu Xuandu smiled: "Very good."
Lin Rufei was dumbfounded, and thought that Gu Xuandu might talk to that Xie Zhiyue.
The demon demon Xie was so straight-forward that he wanted to talk to him again. Who knew he would not see him at all, but sent his servant to urge him to leave.
No, Lin Rufei can only let the maid pack up and go to the restaurant on the street for one night, thinking about making plans tomorrow.
When leaving Xiefu, Yu Rui suddenly asked: "Hey, why are the two stone lions missing?"
Lin Rufei noticed that the two stone beasts that had originally been outside Xiefu had disappeared. He hesitated in his heart, and vaguely had some unpleasant premonitions.
The wind was getting stronger, and the lanterns hanging on the streets blew. It seemed that heavy rain was coming. How to look at it would not be a good weather.
The servants of Xie's family made Lin Rufei the best room in the restaurant. The room was just where Xie Fu could be seen. Lin Rufei was sitting beside the bed, unhappy, and had no appetite for the food brought by the maids.
He looked at him and fell asleep, until the rain crackled outside the window, and was awakened from a dream by a heavy rain. Lin Rufei's sleepy eyes opened loosely. In the mist, he saw a gorgeous sunset glowing red After half of the sky, the sunset is like blood, so clear from the rain curtain, like a torn wound, brightly dazzling.
Lin Rufei woke up instantly, stood up suddenly from the head of the bed, and the cloak over his shoulder fell on the ground and didn't care.
Where is this evening glow? It is the sky-high fire of Xiefu. The bright flame envelopes the whole Xiefu. Some people are screaming, some are roaring, and others are standing on the high wall.
Lin Rufei saw Xie Zhixie.
Xie Zhiyue was standing in the highest loft of Xiefu. He was holding a small cricket in green clothes in his left hand, and holding a pot of freshly unearthed bamboo leaves in his right hand, staring at the bright sunset.
It seemed to notice Lin Rufei's gaze, Xie Zhiyue seemed to turn his head, facing Lin Rufei, showing a vague smile.
The rain was getting heavy, but it couldn't hold back the fire that was generated by the sword. The flame was like a fierce beast, framed in the entire Xiefu, raging and devouring everything.
"It's really beautiful." Gu Xuan leaned against the window, his red dress was like fire, he stroked a handle of Gu Yu and a drop of frost on the side of his waist, and said softly, "It's really good weather."
He actually guessed what Xie Zhiyue was going to do.
Lin Rufei stood in place, and his cheeks couldn't stop beating with the cold wind mixed with rain, but he didn't feel cold, but felt the hot waves rushing towards his face. The fire of Xie Fu burned everything, and there was no Xie family in Moyu City ever since.
Xie Fu burned all night until Tianming, and the fire was never seen.
Xie Zhiyue disappeared, and disappeared with green ears. Before leaving, he set off a large fire that burned the place where he and Green ears grew up.
From the outsider's point of view, he did not understand why he did it.
Xie Zhiyue has already cultivated in eight realms. He is already the owner of Xie family. Only when he is crazy can he do such a self-determined thing.
Is he crazy? Lin Rufei really said no, he just remembered that the sunset in the rain that day was indeed amazing.
The fire burned for three days, and Lin Rufei watched it for three days.
Until the fire was gone, Xie Fu left only one piece of wreckage, and Lin Rufei left for Mo Yu.
The rain was still falling, and the horse's hoof was knocking on the bluestone slab. It was Lin Rufei's last memory of Xie Zhiyue. Until many years later, Lin Rufei had heard some news about Xie Zhiyue.
It was said that on the rivers and lakes, suddenly a white-haired lunatic was carrying a dead bone on his back and destroyed all the hallways set up by the Xie family. Not only killing, but also setting a fire, sitting at the wall, watching the flame torch everything, before leaving.
Someone has seen the appearance of the lunatic, saying that he is a handsome young man, especially a white ancient sword on his waist, which is particularly conspicuous, but no one knows his name.
Lin Rufei knew the name of the lunatic. His name was Xie Zhiyue. He used to be a good young chess player, but lost one of the most important bones and went crazy.
The mountains are high and the roads are long and the distance is long.
Lin Rufei sat in the carriage and drank new tea made with floating flowers.
The rain has never stopped since it started three days ago. This year's Meiyu came extraordinarily early. The rain was not heavy, but it was continuous. It was half a month, and Lin Rufei was sullen in the carriage and felt that he even had a kind The illusion of mushrooms is about to happen.
But God ’s affairs, he has nothing to do, but Gu Xuandu smiled and asked him if he wanted to see the sun. However, a few days ago Gu Xuan praised the flaming sky of Mo Yucheng for the good weather, so Lin Rufei had taken precautions in advance, and asked vigilantly what he wanted to do.
Gu Xuandu was innocent, saying that he just wanted Lin Rufei to bask in the sun.
Lin Rufei said: "Can you still embarrass God?"
Gu Xuandu said, "How do you know without trying?"
Lin Rufei busily said: "No need not, I think the weather is quite good." He didn't want to see a big fire again.
Gu Xuandu wanted to persuade him again, but when Lin Rufei's expression was firm, he had no choice but to regret it.
Mo Yucheng is located on the westernmost side of the Yaoguang continent. If you want to enter the Central Plains, you need to go through a very steep waterway. This is the Canglan River mentioned by Xie Zhiyue.
The Canglan River is located between two steep canyons. The water is turbulent and the reefs are everywhere. Underneath, there are hideous crickets. It is really dangerous.
Over the past few days, the rain and rain were turbulent, and business travellers were afraid to do so. The carriage was on the shore, Lin Rufei looked around with his umbrella, and saw the muddy rivers and waters, the steep cliffs, and even the countless bones hanging on it. After asking the boatman for inquiries, I learned these days The water was too big, and the evil spirits at the bottom of the river came out again to kill people, killing a boat of merchants and eating meat, not even counting them, but hanging their bones on the cliff.
"This evil is so overbearing?" Fu Hua frowned. "No one can manage it?"
"It doesn't matter where it is. It eats people all by their moods. When they are in a good mood, they haven't seen any shadows for a few years. They feel bad, as long as they dare to go to the river, they all suffer." Helpless, "The weather has been weird recently. It has been raining for several days, and the sun is invisible. The bad mood is very bad. I have been rolling on the river for a few days. I have seen dozens of people. Stop it. "
Lin Rufei said, "How long has it been here?"
"It's been hundreds of years. It is rumored that this evil spirit should have turned into a dragon a hundred years ago. As a result, it offends Tianjun, and a dragon horn is cut off by Tianjun, and this place is captured as a beast of the river." The boatman sighed. Anxiously, telling the story of a hundred years ago, "Unfortunately, then, Tianjun fell, and this evil spirit was no longer in control, and the river was in trouble ..."
Lin Rufei said, "Isn't it impossible to walk these days?"
"Can't walk." The boatman shook his head. "Who dares to leave, no matter how much money is spent, there is nowhere to spend, even the gods who can guard the sword have been eaten by him several times-we Didn't this mortal mortal go to the river to deliver vegetables to it? "
Lin Rufei listened slightly frowning, and was distressed and wondered when the evil wand would stop. Gu Xuandu, who was standing behind him, came leisurely: "Little leek wants to go, naturally he can."
Lin Rufei looked at him.
"Little Lee doesn't believe me?" Gu Xuandu smiled. "Also, this wickedness is also my acquaintance. Discuss with him, maybe there is a way."
Lin Rufei thought for a moment, nodding his head slightly, let Fuhua and Yu Rui go to the inn first to sharpen.
In recent days, they have not been able to cross the river, and a large number of merchants are stranded in the inns on both sides of the river. The lobby of the inn is very lively, drinking and chatting, and extremely noisy.
As soon as Lin Rufei took the two maids in, he attracted a lot of attention.
These eyes have good intentions and malicious intentions, but they are more curious and inquisitive. There are rivers and lakes in the places where there are people, and there is a small river and lake in this inn.
When Xiao Er came to the guest, he ate the tea eagerly, and asked if he was still staying at the restaurant. Fuhua asked for two to go to the room, and told Yu Rui to follow up with Xiao Er to clean up the room. In the evening, the son-in-law would use it, while standing behind Lin Rufei, his face frosted and stopped all inquiring eyes.
A cunning, frail handsome boy, two beautiful maids with good looks, such a pair will inevitably attract the attention of all parties.
Lin Rufei sat at the table, took a sip of tea, and ordered hot food. The tea in this inn has a weak taste, which is naturally not as good as the new tea they brought with the floating flower, but the food tastes good, especially the crispy taste of beef stew.
It's a pity that Lin Rufei is still coughing and doesn't dare to drink alcohol.
I was thinking, but there was a scent of wine on the tip of the nose. Lin Rufei looked for the scent, but saw a young man in a short shirt with a gourd in his hand and stared at him with a smile. Seeing Lin Rufei looking towards himself, he walked over and walked in front of Lin Rufei, saying, "My son, but want to cross the river?"
Lin Rufei said: "Yes."
"I can send you across the river." The young man was drinking a thick glass of wine, but his dark eyes were shining, "I'm sure everything will be fine."
Lin Rufei said, "Oh, seriously?"
Young Humanity: "I take it seriously--"
Before he finished speaking, the people around him laughed aloud, and some people laughed and said, "Jiang Chaoer, don't you talk loud, do you think you are comparable to your father? Even a powerful boatman like your father , Also died in the mouth of Luolong— "
People's taunts are getting bitterer and more bitter: "Little baby, with the help of your three-footed cat, dare to cross the river? Don't be afraid that the dragon will swallow you all up? Do n’t worry about your low life, do n’t delay He's my brother. "
"Yeah, a rabbit with no hair, how dare you say crazy words. I watched that the rain had to go for the first half of a month. In this half-month, any boatman dared to cross the river!"
"Jiang Chaoer, isn't it enough to abandon your father's death? Isn't even the bones found ..."
All kinds of words seemed to be pouring in. The young man named Jiang Chaoer was not angry. He still looked at Lin Rufei with a smile. He was thin and looked young, but he was like Lin Ru when he was a teenager. Fei is a bit similar, he laughed: "Son, don't listen to their nonsense. They are less courageous than that egg. When they see the dragon, they are frightened and expect them to wait until next year. Go. "
Lin Rufei was curious: "How do you know?"
Jiang Chaoer banged on the weak chest, saying that their generations were boatmen, the ancestor was, the grandfather was, the father was too, and it was his turn now, and no one dared to cross, but They dare to be alone.
When others heard this, they started to coax again and said, "Don't listen to his bragging. His whole family died on the river. If you believe him, you will die in the Canglang River!"
Jiang Chaoer took a sip and said, "Your flocks of eggs are skinny, and you are afraid to get in, and you won't let others invite business--"
Someone laughed: "Isn't that afraid that your Jiang family will die!"
Everyone laughed, Jiang Chaoer was not angry, he laughed twice, pointing at the man and laughing: "You have been married for three years, and there is no news yet. I think the grass bag says you, just that The pile of grass is in your bulging crotch! The chicken that didn't lay eggs in your house is looking for your pile of grass.
The vulgar person scolds bad words, which is naturally wonderful. Although Jiang Chaoer is not physically strong, he has a mouth that is very powerful. When he talks, there are no taboos, and the cheeks of those who laugh at him are red. Bai, if it weren't for seeing that he was a half-old child, I would have to roll up his sleeves and fight with him.
Lin Rufei has never seen this battle and listened with interest.
Jiang Chaoer was tired of scolding, and then squinted to Lin Rufei to ask for water. Lin Rufei smiled and said, "Isn't there wine in your pot?"
Jiang Chaoer shook his gourd and mumbled, "There isn't much left. God doesn't appreciate meals this month ... drink one bite less."
Lin Rufei thought about it, and called him to ask him to put some pots of the best wine in the store. Jiang Chaoer's eyes lighted up, and he was a little embarrassed, and said, "Why did the boy suddenly ask me to drink?"
Lin Rufei laughed: "I'm still sick and can't drink. If you like it so much, drink more for me. If you are willing, you can also talk about this riverside incident."
Jiang Chao'er nodded quickly, drank several cups, and chewed two pieces of braised beef. He Ru Linfei talked about ferries and evil spirits on the Canglan River.
This fight between humans and evil spirits has lasted for a hundred years. The locals have not thought about asking the evil fairy to kill the evil spirits, but the evil spirits are overbearing, and they are in the waters with which they are familiar. Only for the immortal of the Eight Realms can he be subdued.
But the immortals of the Eight Realms only lived in the legend. Mortals have lived a lifetime and have never seen one or two.
Helpless, the people on the riverside have come up with various ways to conceal the evil spirits and cross the steep Canglan River.
After he had told the story, the wine was almost finished, he touched the bulging belly and blinked his eyes and asked the boy if he wanted to cross the river by his boat.
Lin Rufei said: "I think I will give you a reply one night."
"It's okay, okay." Jiang Chaoer laughed. "Son, don't look at me young, I'm really terrific." He gave a little hoe, "Surely ... can send you smoothly To the waterfront. "
Lin Rufei smiled and nodded.
Jiang Chaoer then reluctantly left.
Gu Xuandu said, "The rain stopped outside, let's go out for a walk?"
Lin Rufei said: "Either way."
He condemned the floating flowers and said that he wanted to go out alone.
Fuhua was a little worried about Lin Rufei's safety, but when he saw that he was determined, he had to respond.
Out of the inn, it was quite clean outside. At this time, the night was getting dark, and the sound of waves on the edge of the Canglan River still smelled a strong smell of water.
"That child has some meaning," Lin Rufei said as he walked. "Very good."
Gu Xuandu said: "I am a little guy who is not afraid of death."
Lin Rufei just laughed and didn't speak.
Gu Xuan all asked, "Do you believe he can really take you there?"
Lin Rufei shook his head.
Gu Xuandu said, "Why don't you answer him directly?"
Lin Rufei said, "It's not a bad thing to give some thoughts to the lovely children." Besides, there is wine and meat, so why not be happy.
Gu Xuandu smiled: "So too."
The two walked to the river, looked high, and saw the Canglan River, which gradually blended with the night. The river was turbulent, slamming the river bank and the steep cliff, and I could hear one or two sharp apes crying.
Lin Rufei rarely saw such beautiful living water. In addition to the sternness, he was also quite magnificent. Gu Xuan stood beside him, and suddenly hesitated.
Lin Rufei said: "How?"
Gu Xuandu said: "Someone crosses the river."
Lin Rufei said: "Crossing the river?"
He looked down and looked at it. Sure enough, he saw a thin ferry on the dark river. On the ship, a thin boatman with a bucket and a paddle in his hand was fighting the fierce turbulence. Lin Rufei was surprised: "This is not the Jiang Chaoer in the inn just now ..."
Gu Xuan all smiled and laughed: "The name is quite good."
It was indeed Jiang Chaoer. He was quietly disembarked from the boat during the most turbulent night, leaving him alone on the boat. The Canglan River is steep, not only the rapids of the water, but also the countless underwater reefs. Even the most experienced boatmen dare not cross at night. Jiang Chaoer was thin and small, standing on a small boat, as if he would be captivated by a rushing wave at any time, and the hearts of the people who watched were hanging in his throat.
"It won't be a surprise." Lin Rufei liked the child kind of, and was a little worried.
Gu Xuandu shook his head and signaled that he could not guarantee it.
At first, both people were a little worried whether Jiang Chaoer would be overthrown in the river in the next wave, but after looking at it for a while, they saw some doorways coming out.
Najiang Chaoer obviously knew the Canglan River very well, bypassing every possible location where the reef was touched, the thin figure stood on the ship's board, and waved the heavy paddle in his hand, resisting the waves one after another .
The turbulent waves can't break a small fishing boat. Jiang Chaoer is walking on it. At first glance, it seems like he will die at any time. After watching it for a long time, he has a special rhythm from it, like the one at his feet. The majestic river has become a mount that he can easily control. Although it is wild and difficult to tame, he can't escape his palm.
Jiang Chaoer, fortunately shameless, is really a master of tide.
Gu Xuandu also watched with interest and said, "You're right, this child is a bit interesting."
Lin Rufei said: "Such a dark river, he doesn't need to hold the lamp?"
"Can't hold the lamp." Gu Xuandu said, "The little guy in the river is very sensitive to the lights. Who would dare disturb him to sleep at night ..." He raised his finger to the dead bone of Bai Sensen hanging on the shore, signalling that this was Their end.
"Do you know this dragon?" Lin Rufei remembered that Gu Xuandu had said that dragon was his old knowledge.
"Knowing but knowing, it's just that it doesn't matter." Gu Xuandu smiled.
Lin Rufei said: "How bad is it?"
Gu Xuan thought about it: "If he can, I guess he won't even leave me a bone."
Lin Rufei said that was really bad.
As the two spoke, Jiang Chaoer had disappeared at the corner of the river bank with the sudden waves, and did not know when he would return.
"However, Jiang Chao'er's boat can sit." Gu Xuandu said, "I don't like this inn."
"Why don't you like it?" Lin Rufei said.
Gu Xuandu turned to look at him: "Because the people in the inn like to stare at you, so that I always want to dig out their eyes."
Lin Rufei stunned, as opposed to Gu Xuandu.
Gu Xuandu said lightly: "Just a joke."
Lin Rufei: "Are you kidding me?"
Gu Xuandu: "Really."
Lin Rufei: "..." Why he thought the latter sentence was a joke.
The author has something to say: Gu Xuandu: I like you
Lin Rufei: Really?
Gu Xuandu: I'm kidding
Lin Rufei: ... Really?
Gu Xuandu: Lie to you.
Lin Rufei :?
Gu Xuandu: No kidding.
