Before the night came, the earth fell on a layer of gray, and the stars hung in the corner of the dome early, one or two, blurred, Lu Qianyu, put down the wine bowl, in front of him were three empty bowls, which were originally filled with scallion oil noodles, looking along the window, the sky was a burning cloud, which formed a sharp contrast with all the gloom, indicating that tomorrow would be a good weather.

In the tavern, Xiao Er lit a candle early, although in the still bright twilight, this light seemed dispensable, but it was enough to revive the depressed tavern business, Stone Town experienced a day of silence, and it seemed to wake up, in the tavern, several sailors of different ages came one after another, they ate and drank loudly, behaved noisily, and seemed not to be taboo against the table in the corner.

The sailors, chatting as if it were true or false, Lu Qianyu had the heart to listen, they talked about the child's stinky diapers from the wife's appearance, from the red ass of the Qinglou girl, to the grass carp nest in the river corner, from the spring resurgence of the lame old woman, to the unique practice of caviar, except for the battle between the Wulin League and the Demon Flame Sect in the daytime, without mentioning a word.

That thrilling battle seems to have been deliberately forgotten in the corner of time by some force. Lu Qianyu has never touched it excessively, because this kind of battle, there will be many in the future, and there are a few people who can be deeply rooted in the memory of the death of Taiqiu, the death of the chivalrous man, put in the rivers and lakes, it is the ripples and microwaves of the river, only those stormy waves are worthy of impressiveness.

When Lu Qianyu drank the second pot of wine, Shangguan Qingyang's small boat was sailing to the big ship, the bow of the boat was slightly cocked, she stood on the deck, her body rose and fell with the ups and downs of the boat, the shadow of the big ship, in the dazzling sun, looming, her eyes were tight, in her black eyes, reflecting the empty deck, the lonely mast, flocks of water birds flew away in the sky like fire, the wind blew away her hair, and the hair bun fluttered so beautifully.

"Second sister. Shangguan Xiaomei, who had a pink face, looked at the silhouette of the big ship and shouted, "It's a boat, the boat we're looking for." ”

"See. Shangguan Qingyang said.

"How did it stop there?"

"That's exactly why we're drawn to it. ”

Shangguan Qingyang clenched her hands, touched the Qingfeng long sword in her waist, an ominous premonition lingered in her heart, she tried to expel it with relief, but the result was anxiety and irritability, so the willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and her face was stern.

The big ship is like a huge ghost individual, the small boat is not sailing towards it, but as if it is being pulled by it, between the two, there is an invisible line, the shorter and shorter it is, and when the bow reaches the close five or six zhang of the big ship, the distance between the two sides does not continue to increase, and time seems to stand still at this moment, Shangguan Qingyang pulled up his hair bun and jumped onto the boat.

————

"The big ship is back. ”

I don't know if it was the person with a loud voice who shouted, and the drunken Lu Qianyu glanced at it like a black waterway, only to see a candle flame swaying in the wind, like black eyes, coming out of thin air. He knew that it was a large horse lantern hanging on the mast of the big ship, and in the few nights on the big ship, he had traveled to every corner of the big ship, and he knew the construction of the big ship as if he were in charge, and often just after night, the sailors would hang a horse lantern with the largest specifications on the mast, and it would not be extinguished until dawn broke at the end of the night.

As early as half an hour before the night, the docks of Stone City were filled, and dozens of torches suddenly appeared, ten times brighter than the candles in the tavern, and the martial arts alliance ran towards the big ship.

"Let's go. Lu Qianyu put down the wine bowl, grabbed Gu Han, got up and jumped out of the tavern.

"Take it and fix your table. Lin Xing threw a handful of silver and walked away with Lu Qianyu.

When the wave got up, he staggered, held on to the table, shook his head vigorously, finally saw where the tavern door was, found the target, and staggered away, and with a bang, hit the door frame, and the door hesitated a few times before falling outward. He rubbed his head and shouted, "Wait, old man." ”

Xiao Er in the store took the broken silver, came to the door, looked at the backs of the three people, sweated anxiously, and said to himself, "One table, one door panel, I said that you are good men, the money is not enough!"

Lu Qianyu was the last to come, the first to arrive, crossed the crowd, jumped directly on the big boat, one step faster than the people of the Wulin League, and when everyone appeared on the deck of the big ship, facing the bloody scene, with a shocked face, Lu Qianyu had already checked the big ship from beginning to end, and even the corners did not fall, he came to the cabin door where the old knife was sitting before his death, slowly put down his heavy body, his face was frosty, his arms naturally drooped, and he buried his head between his knees.

A man walked slowly, put his hand on his shoulder, and said softly, "Brother Lu, have you found anything?"

"Nothing was found. ”

"Don't be discouraged, you might all run away. Lin Xing said comfortingly.

"What's going on, there's blood everywhere on the boat, there's not a single corpse in sight, what the hell is the person, where are the people, what the hell?" Langliu shouted in the crowd, and was blown out of a cold sweat by the river wind, and he almost woke up, he soon found out the seriousness of the problem, ignoring the resentful eyes of everyone, and scolded: "This group of grandsons of the Demon Yan Sect, engaging in sneak attacks, is not a heroic behavior, really damn it, a group of villains, bastards!"

Lu Qianyu slowly raised his head, his heart was calm, all kinds of signs showed that after a bloody battle on the big ship, the victory and defeat were clear at a glance, after he got on the boat, he clearly understood this from the knife marks and blood stains, what he was looking for was the body of the old knife and the knife, he wanted to see people alive, and corpses to see when he died. These two people have a special meaning for him.

"I haven't found their bodies now, are they still alive?" This kind of self-consolation thought took the initiative in Lu Qianyu's heart, but objectively defeated it, "How can you live, the Demon Yan Sect is ruthless, kills people without blinking, and Lao Dao has a stubborn personality, how can he allow him to run away without a fight?"

"Qianyu?" Lin Xing called to him, "It's over, we should think about what to do next." ”

Lu Qianyu was slightly stunned, and said with a wry smile: "Or is your Divine Doctor Lin seeing life and death thoroughly and plainly, I haven't thought about it for the time being, what do you say?"

"Doctors have a pair of eyes that penetrate the boundary between life and death, they can see life, they can see death, life and death are cause and effect, let death come back to life, and you also need to be tolerant of death, let it go!" Lin Xing said.

"The ambition of a chivalrous man, even though he is dead, he is still alive!" Lu Qianyu stood up and looked at the twinkling bean stars above the night.

The stars are centered on the moon, scattered everywhere, thousands of miles away from each other, familiar and strange, and always remain in the same position, unchanged for eternity, not because they do not change, but because, they become not, and without the moon, they do not blink.

"There is no sorrow in life, and there is no pain in death. Lin Xing sighed, "You look at the leisurely river, so along the shackles of the soil, it will eventually flow eastward, so what can you do?"
