Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 354
The bright moon sticks its head out from the dark clouds and casts a ray of moonlight.

In the silent night, the moonlight in the sky illuminated the still figures of a boy and a girl under the tree.

Ji Jiashu's blade pressed against Ying Baoyue's throat, and Ying Baoyue's arrowhead hit Ji Jiashu's gate of life as a practitioner.

Little fireflies danced around, and the surroundings were extremely quiet.

In such dead silence, Ying Baoyue and Ji Jiashu looked at each other quietly, neither of them could take a step forward with their respective hands.

It's not that I don't want to do it, but I can't do it.

Whichever side wants to make a move, it will all end in the end.

Ji Jiashu stared at the girl below him who had never been flustered at all with a complicated expression. He never thought that one day he would be in such a stalemate with a seventh-rank practitioner.

Although there are still some hidden reasons, this is not a reason for defense, after all, he just did what he did for granted.

But just when Ji Jiashu was surprised by what this woman did, the girl's laughter suddenly broke the silence.

"Master Ji."

The girl under him watched his face quietly, squinting and smiling.

"You put water on me."

It's an affirmative statement, without even a questioning tone.

Ying Baoyue's eyes were calm, after all, it's impossible for a fifth-ranker to be so weak.

Ji Jiashu's hand holding the hilt of the sword tightened, he opened his mouth behind the iron face, and then spoke.

"Not just for you."

Ji Jiashu looked at Ying Baoyue and said quietly, "That's how I am here."

This is true for all practitioners.

Even though he was a ghost, it was impossible for him to use his full strength against the human class, just like he knocked out the practitioners of the Northern Wei Dynasty before, the examiner was not here to kill people.Accurate mastery is a necessary quality for the examiner.

Although he controlled his own power, Ji Jiashu knew that he treated everyone equally.

That's why he was forced to this point.

It is the strength of this girl.

Under his control of power, the first serious confrontation between him and her ended like this.

Ji Jiashu looked down at the arrowhead on his neck, then he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

The next moment, Ying Baoyue's eyes lit up, and the dark shadow that covered her before disappeared in an instant.She opened her eyes wide, silently looking at the moon above her head, which she could see through the branches.

Then there was a plop beside her, the sound of a person's back lying on the grass.

Ying Baoyue turned her head to the side, looking at the profile of the boy lying beside her... the iron mask.

This mask is really tightly wrapped.

Just at that moment, Ji Jiashu suddenly turned over and lifted the sword from her body, and lay down on the ground in the same posture as Ying Baoyue.

This resolved the stalemate between her and him.

After all, it's not a problem for them to be deadlocked all the time. Either they die together, or neither of them can kill the other.

Since he couldn't kill him, Ji Jiashu finally made such a choice.

Looking at Ji Jiashu's side face, Ying Baoyue was about to speak, but at this moment Ji Jiashu was lying flat on the ground and raised the sword in his hand.Staring at the blade under the moonlight, he suddenly asked.

"Where did you take out that arrowhead just now?"

Thinking back carefully, he was restrained by this woman at the last moment just now, because he didn't discover the arrowhead in advance.But he had been wary of places where ordinary people would hide hidden weapons, and in the end he found nothing.

"It's usually hidden in the hair," Ying Baoyue looked at him and smiled, and put back the arrowhead in his hand in front of him.

Looking at the snow-white earlobes of the girl's black hair exposed in front of him for the first time under the moonlight, Ji Jiashu's heart suddenly jumped.

He is thinking about...

Hiding in such a place?
He should be thinking about this, Ji Jiashu suppressed the ambiguous emotions that appeared just now, looked at Ying Baoyue and said, "It's a shame that you really remembered to do this just now."

Ying Baoyue smiled.

She will always remember this arrowhead.

After all, this was the first weapon she owned in this life.

"Anyway, you won this time," Ji Jiashu said quietly, looking at the woman's smile under the moonlight, "As a ghost, I won't do anything to you again."

Ying Baoyue opened her eyes wide in surprise, "I can't stop you from doing it again, or you can release your restrictions on yourself."

So she still wants to fight?

Ji Jiashu was stunned. He attacked her mercilessly like he treated all practitioners. Not only was she not sad and dissatisfied, but she also wanted to fight on the same level as him?
He took a deep breath, and then restrained his emotions.

"A ghost can only attack a cultivator once, and cannot kill," Ji Jiashu tried to make his voice sound fair and just, "Since I am an examiner, I will not violate this rule."

He won't let this woman down, and naturally he won't make things harder for her.

This is his principle and his heart.

"So there is such a rule," Ying Baoyue looked at the young man beside him who was looking up at Mingyue and said.

"Well," Ji Jiashu nodded seriously, "I will definitely follow, so I told you just now..."

Looking at the blood on the woman's palm, his eyes dimmed.He just did it in a down-to-earth manner, without showing any mercy.

According to their identities and friendship, most people would be more or less merciful. Just now when Mo Hua pulled Meng Shi away and said that Ying Baoyue would be fine, he might have guessed his identity and thought he would not do that.

But in fact, he didn't do that at all.

"Sorry, I can't and I don't..." Ji Jiashu looked at Ying Baoyue and frowned, trying to explain, but never thought that the girl in front of her smiled.

No matter what the rules are, Ji Jiashu is an upright person.

Its justice is also reflected in the fact that he will never favoritism.

Only in this way can the Dao heart be transparent.

"I'm very happy...I agree with you." Ying Baoyue looked at Ji Jiashu and said with a smile.

Ji Jiashu was shocked, what was she trying to say before she changed her mind?But at this moment Ying Baoyue spoke again.

"I always feel a little nostalgic." Looking at the silhouette of the young man in front of her, she suddenly said.

"What do you miss?" Ji Jiashu was taken aback when she heard the words, and Ying Baoyue was also a little taken aback by what she said subconsciously, and then she smiled secretly in her heart.

Talking to this young man in the middle of the night under the moonlight and starry sky always reminded her of those nights when she was still in the former Qin Dynasty.

The same starry sky, the same woods, and the same bright moon.

At that time, they were talking thousands of miles apart, but this time, it was when both sides could see each other.

"It's nothing." Looking at Ji Jiashu's gaze, Ying Baoyue smiled, "I just remembered an old friend."

"Old man?" Ji Jiashu was slightly taken aback, but looking at the tree trunk illuminated by fireflies, he also thought of an old man, the most mysterious old man whom he hadn't spoken to for a long time and whom he had never seen.

He didn't know when he would hear that person's response again, was all that really just a flash in the pan for him?

Although his heart is turbulent, he also knows that this is not the time and place for him to be sentimental.

"Since this has happened this time, I won't attack you again," Ji Jiashu stood up, "Let's pretend we didn't say anything today."

Ying Baoyue also stood up and retrieved her sword.

"After you..." However, looking at the back of the girl picking up the sword, Ji Jiashu couldn't help but speak again after saying nothing.

"Huh?" Ying Baoyue turned her head.

"It's better not to run into the forest alone at night," Ji Jiashu said, "The forest is not very safe, and besides, it's inside Tianmu Mountain..."

Having said that, he suddenly stopped.

Ying Baoyue also paused.

Everyone knew how tense and tense the situation inside Tianmu Mountain was. Ji Jiashu's keen observation skills must have discovered the reason long ago.

However, now it seems that this is an unsolvable situation, and no one takes the initiative to solve it. Everyone is waiting to get through these three days.

However, turning around to look at Ji Jiashu's back, Ying Baoyue suddenly said, "By the way, Mr. Ji, if it's possible, I have something to ask you."

Ji Jiashu paused, then turned around, "What's the matter?"

"You said before that ghosts are not allowed to take human life," Ying Baoyue said softly, looking into his eyes.

"But what I want to trouble you with is to take someone's life."
