You are ruthless, really helpless

Chapter 17

Hearing this insane guess, Shen Jiyun's eyelids twitched unconsciously, he endured it again and again, but he couldn't hold it back after all, and said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense."

His brows are stern, not angry and majestic.

Wangshu Xianjun is famous and unkind.

On weekdays, all the disciples are trembling in front of him.Don't say that his face turned cold, and he was already shivering with a glance.

However, Jiang Li was not afraid at all, facing a cold and indifferent face, he pursed his lips and smiled, stood on tiptoe and bit his ear: "It's nothing, anyway, Wang Shu Xianjun doesn't know."

Breathing out like blue, there was a bit of ambiguity when he pronounced the words, and he turned up slightly when he finished, as if he was coquettishly obsessed.

Shen Jiyun looked over.

The young man had a delicate and innocent smile, and his eyes had a kind of ignorant clarity without any haze.

He was leaning over to whisper something, very close.

It was so close that one could even see a little red mole on the boy's earlobe.

The red mole is like blood, falling on the white earlobe, trembling with each breath, like a small fish swimming, making people want to catch it in their hands and enjoy it carefully.

Under the cover of the sleeves, Shen Jiyun's fingers trembled unconsciously, and finally suppressed this impulse.

But this small fish still unknowingly swam into the lake of his heart, swimming around, flicking its tail from time to time, causing ripples on the surface of the lake for a long time.

After a while, Shen Jiyun taught in a deep voice: "Don't speak nonsense about others."

Jiang Li's eyelashes flickered, his voice gradually lowered, and he muttered: "...I know."

He stopped talking, just stared at his toes, and kicked the stones on the side of the road sullenly.

The stone drew an arc in mid-air, rolled around and disappeared without a trace.

Between the two of them, Jiang Li had always been chattering non-stop, but now he was silent, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Shen Jiyun felt that the words just now were not harsh, and he didn't know why Jiang Li reacted like this.He pondered for a moment, then said: "You..."

As soon as the conversation started, Jiang Li let out a "hum" and turned his back, with a self-willed look of "I don't listen, I don't listen".

Shen Jiyun felt helpless.

Being so stubborn and pampered, and full of nonsense, if he is a disciple of Taiwangzong, he must have hundreds of ways to temper this bad temper.

But not only was he not, but he also blushed and shed tears at every turn. There was really... no way.Not to mention that sometimes I am afraid that I may make a mistake in saying something, which will bring tears to my eyes.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiyun secretly sighed.

Even he himself didn't realize that when he was looking at Shufeng, he was a god without desires, no matter what happened in front of him, he couldn't show any emotion.

Since he stepped into the world of mortals, his mood swings have been several times higher than before.

And the one that involved him the most... was naturally the young man in front of him.

Shen Jiyun thought about it for a moment, and then said again: "It's not to scold you, but... to speak lies behind your back. If someone else hears it, it's easy to plant the root of disaster."

Jiang Li raised his eyelids.

A pair of eyes are clear and round, filled with watery light, especially aggrieved.

He defended in a low voice: "I only told you."

- only with you.

Spouting such words from the young man's soft lips, it seems that the relationship between the two is extraordinary, very intimate, different from others.

It's okay to say bad things about people because he thinks...you won't tell people.

It's just a little secret between him and you.

Shen Jiyun was a little uncomfortable.

When he was in Taiwangzong, he was the aloof Wangshu Xianjun. Although he had countless disciples and grandchildren, they all respected him and respected him on the face, not close to him.

When he went outside, most of the people he saw also retreated three feet away from him.

Only Jiang Li...

Shen Jiyun didn't know how to describe this feeling.

Strange and strange.

It's confusing.

His eyes fell on the white jade-like cheeks of the young man, and he left them as soon as he touched them. Shen Jiyun said bluntly: "...It's good that you know."

After all, he flicked his sleeves and walked ahead.

Seen from behind, his figure was tall and straight, his long hair was tied up meticulously, and he was so handsome.

It's just that the footsteps are in a hurry, revealing a little panic.

Jiang Li tilted his head, with a sly smile on his lips, like a bad child who did something bad and was not caught.

He followed slowly, nodding at the corner of his lips with his fingertips.

In fact, he deliberately mentioned Wangshu Xianjun.

Half teasing, half probing.

He had already noticed that Shen Jiyun paid special attention to Taiwangzong and Wangshu Xianjun, so at first he thought that Shen Jiyun was also a disciple of Taiwangzong.

But later Shen Jiyun personally said no.

Shen Jiyun is a calm and self-reliant person, and he abides by the way of a gentleman. He will not lie or deceive at first glance. Now that he has said it, he is really not.

Since he is not a disciple of Taiwangzong, and he is especially concerned about Wangshu Xianjun, could it be...

A thought flashed by.

Before Jiang Li had time to catch it, suddenly, a resounding sound of a trumpet resounded through the sky and earth, interrupting his scattered thoughts.

He was drawn to attention.

The horn sounded continuously, making the willow branches rustle.

Hearing this movement, it should have come from the center of the city—there is where the City Lord's Mansion is located, and it is also where the Shenmu took root.

Jiang Li walked briskly, caught up with the figure in front of him, and raised his head: "Shall we go over and have a look?"

Shen Jiyun didn't look sideways, and said in a cold voice, "Okay."

……

Along the long street paved with bluestone slabs, the willow branches in front of you become more and more lush as you go in, and the scene in front of you becomes blurred.

Narrow houses were crowded on both sides of the long street, and the doors and windows were dark. When walking past, there seemed to be something dormant in the dark, peeping coldly.

wow-

A gust of cold wind blew through, creaking the dilapidated windows.

Jiang Li caught a glimpse of a white figure out of the corner of his eye, subconsciously chased after it, turned his head, and suddenly met a pale face.

The face was pressed against the window, the facial features were twisted and deformed by the squeeze of the pane, the corners of the lips were raised high, and the smile was weird and creepy.

If it was an ordinary person, facing this situation, he would have been frightened and screamed.

But Jiang Li was not an ordinary person, he looked at that face quietly for a moment, and also showed a sweet smile.

That person: "...?"

Jiang Li pursed his lips and said silently, "It's so ugly."

That person: "...???"

No such personal attacks.

Shen Jiyun noticed something and stopped, with some doubts in his eyes.

But in the blink of an eye, only panic remained on Jiang Li's face, he raised his hand and pointed: "That, there..."

Shen Jiyun followed the trend and looked over.

It's just that in his eyes, there is only an empty courtyard in front of him, other than that, there is nothing special about it.

Jiang Li knew this reaction just by looking at it - Shen Jiyun didn't see anything.

He rolled his tongue and tremblingly said: "Right here, someone is staring at me..."

Shen Jiyun's gaze was like a torch, scanning every corner, but he still didn't notice anything unusual.

Without saying a word, he retreated to Jiang Li's side, blocking the dark window.

Looking over Shen Jiyun's shoulder, one can see the man's arrogant smile, as if saying: You can't do anything about me.

Jiang Li sneered, with a timid face, his fingers clenched the corners of his clothes, his knuckles turned white: "He's looking at me, he's still looking at me..."

Shen Jiyun frowned and hesitated for a moment, then put his hand on the young man's too slender shoulders, as if to comfort him.

He asked, "Where?"

With a nasal voice, Jiang Li mumbled, "It's...behind the window..."

Shen Jiyun stared at the window for a moment.

Look down again.

The boy's face turned pale, and he bit the corner of his lips tightly.

Shen Jiyun was inexplicably upset for a while, so he just waved his hand, and a sharp sword energy pierced through the air.

The sword energy fell silently.

After a moment of stagnation, there was a "crash", and the house collapsed directly from it. Now let alone the windows, even the roof was lifted off.

In Jiang Li's eyes, the person behind the window finally showed his true face.

It was a long person, no... it shouldn't be described as a "person", his lower body has completely turned into a tree, deeply rooted in the ground, only a huge head resting on a thin tree On the branches, it looks extraordinarily weird.

The man's neck twisted stiffly, the dead branches on his body rustled, and the roots emerged from the soil, heading straight for Jiang Li.

It's just that before Jiang Li was in front of him, there was something that moved one step faster.

It wasn't Shen Jiyun's sword, but...the willow branches everywhere in midair.

The willow branches swayed gently, sweeping across the cheeks gently, like a mother whispering.

One of the thin willow branches protruded out, wrapped around the dead branch man gently and tenaciously, then tightened again, strangling him forcefully.

Like a snake in prey.

After the prey is strangled to death, it is its feeding time.

The dead branch man realized something and struggled desperately.

It's just that the willow branch didn't move at all, waiting patiently.

Not long after, the dead branch man lost his vitality, and the branches on his body slowly drooped down.

At this time, the willow branches all around gathered together and wove into a green net, which was pulled up by people with dead branches.

Jiang Li kept watching until the figure disappeared into the lush tree canopy.

Then he distinctly heard chewing.Maybe the dead branch man's body is too hard, making it crackle when he bites.

After the chewing sound stopped, another sigh of satisfaction came from Shenmu Cong.

A creepy look fell on Jiang Li.

Jiang Li's breathing was slightly chaotic.

But Shen Jiyun, who was close at hand, didn't feel this gaze. Seeing that Jiang Li's state was not right, he said slowly, "Let's go back first."

Jiang Li woke up with a start: "No, I, I'm fine..."

He said it was okay, but his face was flustered, and he didn't seem to be okay at all.

Shen Jiyun frowned slightly: "You don't have to be brave."

Jiang Li shook his head lightly: "I'm really fine, it's more important." He sniffed the tip of his nose, and glanced cautiously, "How about I wait for you here?"

Shen Jiyun hesitated.

With Jiang Li's current state, it is really not suitable to go any further.

But it's not a good place to be here either.

Jiang Li grabbed the corner of the white coat and shook it: "It's okay, you go quickly, don't delay the business." He blinked and clenched his fists and said, "Don't underestimate me, in fact, I am also very powerful of."

Shen Jiyun finally made up his mind.

The situation ahead is unknown, and I don't know what else I will encounter.

That being the case, it's better to stay where he is and wait for him to come back, so as not to be frightened again.

Shen Jiyun waved his hand leaving behind a sword intent, and set foot on the way alone.

After all, in his opinion, although Liucheng is weird, there is no danger at all. A single sword intent is enough to drive back the monsters and demons.

……

Shen Jiyun walked steadily and disappeared to the other side of the street.

As a result, Jiang Li was the only one left on the whole street.

He stood alone under the shade of the tree, his figure was thin and thin, as if he was about to fall when the wind blew, and he felt bullied at first sight.

"whee--"

Weird laughter came from all directions.

Behind the windows, pale faces appeared, salivating and greedily looking at the poor boy who was alone.

Jiang Li seemed to feel something, and slowly raised his head.

He didn't panic as he imagined, but instead had a clear smile.

These things in the dark really didn't dare to attack Shen Jiyun.

Come to think of it.

Shen Jiyun's will is firm, and he abides by self-restraint, with pitifully few desires in his heart.

What these things like most is fear and panic, which Shen Jiyun doesn't have, so they naturally won't waste time on it.

Jiang Li sighed softly.

There was really no way, and he was pinched again as a soft persimmon.

But that's okay, save yourself the hassle.

Thinking of this, he took the initiative to walk towards a courtyard.

Those pale faces were stunned.

Logically speaking, shouldn't they scream and run around?Why did it come to your door instead?

Is there something wrong?

While the dead faces were stunned, Jiang Li had already pushed open one of the doors.

He has figured it out.

These dead faces and Shenmu are two forces, they hide in the house and in the shadows, for fear of being discovered by Shenmu.

Then there is no doubt that they belong to the side of the moon.

Ever since entering Liucheng, there has been something playing tricks in the dark.

If you really act according to the customs and rules on the notice, you may just fall into their arms.The more you are afraid of vigilance, the more you will lose yourself in endless doubts.

In this case, it is better to do the opposite.Like... adding the moon.

Turning his eyes, Jiang Li's tone was in a trance, and he muttered: "Last night... I saw the moon." His tone gradually became frenzied, "The moon is so bright and flawless, I think... I should help her."

Pale face: "!"

My own people, tell me earlier!

In the cognition of the dead face, there is no word "deceived". In its view, as long as the "moon" is mentioned, it is one of its own.

Shibailian twisted the branches on his body and made an incomprehensible sound.

Immediately afterwards, rustling sounds came from the dark place, and other pale faces hiding in the corner poked their heads.

One of the faces came closer to Jiang Li, as if confirming something.

Jiang Li didn't move at all, not even frowning.

half an hour.

A dry branch swayed, and silently touched Jiang Li's shoulder.

A chaotic voice sounded in his mind.

"tonight……"

"Come to the city center..."

"You can... see the moon..."

After saying these words, the pale faces retreated silently into the darkness, and quickly disappeared with a rustling sound.

Jiang Li stretched out his hand to support the place where the dead branch had been placed just now, and there was a trace of coolness on it, which seemed to indicate that the "infection" of the moon was getting worse.

He had already been stared at by the moon, and because of this, Pale Face believed what he said immediately.

……

Walked out of the courtyard.

The sunlight passed through the willow branches, leaving mottled shadows.

The willow branches hanging above shook violently, and the willow leaves shone like pairs of eyes.He lingered on the boy for a moment, and finally retracted regretfully.

Jiang Li stayed on the long street for a while, and then walked towards the center of the city.

It's just that he didn't meet Shen Jiyun, but saw a group of people in green clothes.

The people in green clothes lined up neatly, singing and dancing. The two people in the front were carrying a tall sedan chair. There was no one on the sedan chair, only a willow branch was placed on it.

They carried willow branches and walked forward beating gongs and drums.

Jiang Li retreated to one side, looked at these men in green clothes, and suddenly thought of something.

He and Shen Jiyun heard two completely different stories.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, the story mentions a critical time-the sacrificial ceremony.

No matter who wins or loses between the gods and the moon, when the sacrificial ceremony is ushered in, it will be the end of everything.

At that time, all people in Liucheng will become sacrifices to the newborn gods.

And the man in green is laying the groundwork for the sacrificial ceremony.

Jiang Li changed his mind and followed the people in green clothes.

In the greenery, Jiang Li looked out of place, and the green-clothed people quickly spotted the intruder.They stopped and stared at the outsider coldly.

Jiang Li's face remained unchanged, and he said piously: "Everyone should believe in gods, and I should also believe in gods. What do you guys think?"

The man in green obviously agreed with this statement very much, and everyone nodded.

Jiang Li: "So, give me a chance to believe in a god?"

The gods and the moon are hostile, so you can only choose one of the two?

No, he wants it all.
