Chapter 6 June is round

On March 15th, there was misty rain before dusk, but at dusk, the misty rain was blown away by the evening wind.In the evening of the empty moon, the evening sun is verdant.Before the sun sets here, the moon rises there.The fifteenth month is round, and the moon is round like a mirror. In the brilliance of the setting sun, only a faint outline can be seen.Du Xiaotian suddenly discovered this round of pale moon.Why did the moon rise so early?He shuddered several times.This round of pale moon seems to be wrapped in the cold ice, giving people a feeling of coldness and strangeness.He is now in Jubaozhai.Cui Beihai had already ordered him down, so when Du Xiaotian came, the servant took him to the study, but only in front of the study.This was also Cui Beihai's order.The servant left immediately, because Cui Beihai also ordered that no one should enter the study when Du Xiaotian arrived.He obviously didn't want to implicate anyone.Du Xiaotian understood Cui Beihai's painstaking efforts.But he came by more than one person, and brought Fu Biao and Yao Kun, two fast men.

The door of the study was closed tightly, and the lamp was lit inside, but no one was seen.Du Xiaotian's eyes fell on the door, Fang was thinking about whether to slam the door open, first to say hello to Cui Beihai, and to check how he is doing, when the door suddenly opened from the inside.Cui Beihai grabbed the door with both hands left and right, but did not come out.Du Xiaotian's eyes that fell on the door naturally changed and fell on Cui Beihai's face.He immediately shuddered again.It's just that after seeing him for a day, Cui Beihai's face was completely bloodless, blue and white, just like the pale moon in the sky, cold and eerie.He seemed to know about Du Xiaotian's arrival before he opened the door, and he seemed to know it now, and his voice was also very cold.Du Xiaotian hurriedly said: What happened?Cui Beihai was taken aback, and said: Nothing happened, why do you ask like that?Du Xiaotian said: Don't you know how ugly your complexion is?Cui Beihai smiled lightly and said: "I didn't sleep all night, and I didn't have a good rest for another whole day, so my complexion was unavoidably ugly."

Du Xiaotian said: What are you busy with?Cui Hokkaido: Write down everything that happened in the past ten days. Du Xiaotian hurriedly said: Can you show me?Cui Hokkaido: It can be possible, but not now.Du Xiaotian asked: If not now and when?Cui Hokkaido: After my death.Du Xiaotian was stunned there.Cui Beihai sighed slightly: If I don't die, this matter will be fine, otherwise, I will solve it myself in the future.Du Xiaotian blurted out: What if you die?Cui Hokkaido: Then sooner or later you will find the record I left behind. As long as you have that record in your hand, you will understand the whole story, and it will not be difficult to find out the truth of my death.Du Xiaotian shook his head and said, "Why don't you let me see it now, maybe we can find a solution in time to save your life."Cui Beihai also shook his head, saying: Only when I die will anyone believe my record.Du Xiaotian stared and said: Why do you want to prove the truth of the matter with your own life.Cui Hokkaido: This is the only way.Du Xiaotian said angrily: Are you tired of living?Cui Hokkaido: Anyone would get tired of this horrible life.

Du Xiaotian looked Cui Beihai up and down, and said, "I think you look like a lunatic."Cui Hokkaido: I wish I could really become a lunatic.He smiled sadly, and continued: If I were a lunatic, I wouldn't have to worry about anything at all, and I wouldn't feel any more, no matter whether it was terror or pain.Du Xiaotian was stunned again.Cui Beihai then reached out and slowly pulled out a letter from his pocket, saying: I also wrote this letter.Du Xiaotian asked: How to deal with this letter?Cui Hokkaido: I'm going to hand it over to you.Du Xiaotian said in surprise: For me?Cui Beihai shook his head and said, "It's not for you."Du Xiaotian said: But why leave it to me?Cui Hokkaido: Because I have no time to go out, and there is no one I can trust, so I can only take this opportunity to hand it over to you, and you will send it out for me.Du Xiaotian said: Where to send it?Cui Hokkaido: Yamen.Du Xiaotian said: Who is it for?Cui Beihai said: Gao Tianlu, the governor of this place!

Du Xiaotian was very surprised, and hurriedly asked: What kind of letter is this?Cui Hokkaido: Actually, it is not a letter, but a will.Du Xiaotian said: Will?Cui Hokkaido: I want to ask Prefect Gao to handle all the funeral affairs for me.Du Xiaotian said: Oh?Cui Beihai forced a smile and said, "Of course, if I live until tomorrow, I don't have to send this letter. You have to return it to me."Du Xiaotian said: That means, now it must be kept by me.Cui Hokkaido: Of course.Du Xiaotian suddenly laughed and said: I'm afraid that after the moths go, I will also become a mummy. I can't send this letter for you, but someone else took it away instead.Cui Hokkaido: Even if you become a mummy, there are still two of your subordinates.Du Xiaotian looked back and said: Maybe they also have the same fate as me.Cui Beihai laughed and said: Your heart is not so good.Du Xiaotian sighed, and said: "Even your seven-star soul-defeating sword and one sword that will kill you are not sure of saving your life. Their two short spears and one iron chain can't be compared to your seven-star deadly sword?"

Cui Hokkaido: Those blood-sucking moths may not come to them. Even if they do, none of you three will be spared, and the letter will be destroyed, so it's not a problem.Du Xiaotian didn't understand.Cui Beihai explained: Because I also wrote a letter that is exactly the same as this one, and put it together with my record. If we all die, they will also be handed over to Prefect Gao three days later.Du Xiaotian didn't understand anymore.Cui Beihai explained again: "My friend should arrive no matter what in three days. With his wisdom, he should be able to find them. He should be able to do it for me. Who has written on the envelope to send it to?"Du Xiaotian said: You should be careful.Cui Hokkaido: At this point, how could I be careless?Du Xiaotian suddenly asked again: Who is that friend of yours?Cui Hokkaido: Always protect flowers!Chang Huhua?Upon hearing this name, the complexions of Du Xiaotian, Fu Biao, and Yao Kun all changed.

Cui Beihai glanced at the three of them and said, "Have you never heard of my friend?"Du Xiaotian said: There are probably not many people who have never heard of your friend.Cui Beihai nodded and said: "He is indeed well-known in the Jianghu. If you talk about the ranking of sword masters in the Jianghu, I think he must be the first one."Du Xiaotian also felt the same way, and said: Although I have never seen him, nor have I seen his sword skills, but in the world, in terms of fame, there is indeed no one who can compare to him.Cui Hokkaido: I'm afraid you would never have imagined that I have such a friend.Du Xiaotian said: I have known you for several years, and this is the first time I hear you say it.Cui Beihai fell silent.Du Xiaotian didn't notice any difference in Cui Beihai's expression, and said: As far as I know, your friend lives in Wanhua Villa.Cui Beihai nodded.Du Xiaotian said again: Wanhua Villa is not too far from here.Cui Hokkaido: You can get there in six days.Du Xiaotian asked: Didn't you look for him from the beginning?Cui Hokkaidao: On the seventh day of the first day, I took Cui Yifei to send the information to Wanhua Villa.Du Xiaotian said: Cui Yi?Cui Hokkaido: You should be familiar with him.Du Xiaotian said: I remember this person.

Cui Hokkaido: His family has been serving my Cui family for generations. I absolutely trust him, so I asked him to find Chang Huhua.Du Xiaotian said: You should have gone to him earlier, so he should be here by now.Cui Hokkaido: It’s not necessary, I really don’t want to find him. He sighed before continuing: Because we are not friends anymore.Du Xiaotian said: Oh?Cui Beihai didn't explain further, his gaze fell on the letter again, and he said: "This letter has been sealed with wax, and I didn't give gifts to Prefect Gao once or twice. Every time I gave a note, even if he didn't recognize it It is not difficult to distinguish my characters by comparing them twice.Du Xiaotian said: You are worried that someone will replace or tamper with your will.Cui Hokkaido: I was really worried, so I put two private seals on the letter.He forced a smile, and said again: It seems that such a will should not cause any trouble.Du Xiaotian sighed slightly: If you were a lunatic, how could you think so carefully?

Cui Beihai sighed softly and said nothing. With a wave of his hand, the letter flew out.Before Du Xiaotian could accept the letter, he closed the door with his backhand.Du Xiaotian took the letter in his hand and said nothing more.His eyes naturally fell on the letter, and he read it carefully back and forth.The letter was indeed sealed.Du Xiaotian carefully put the letter into his arms, glanced left and right at the two subordinates, and said: There is a pavilion over there, and we will guard it.At this time, the light and shadow of the setting sun have almost completely disappeared, but the moon in the sky is still as pale as clear water.The pavilion is among the flowers and trees, and the sparse flowers and trees do not cover the pavilion. It is not difficult to see the pavilion from the study side, and it is not difficult to see the study from the other side of the pavilion.The distance between the pavilion and the study is only three or four zhang, so the pavilion is undoubtedly the most suitable place to monitor the study.There is also a stone platform and several stone benches in the pavilion.Du Xiaotian chose a stone bench and sat down facing the study, feeling nervous involuntarily.Fu Biao and Yao Kun also sat down beside them.

Yao Kun immediately said: Boss, from the tone of the surname Cui, it seems that there are really such things as blood-sucking moths.Du Xiaotian said: The fact is that there is.Yao Kun said: The boss has seen that kind of thing too?Du Xiaotian nodded and said: I have seen it twice.Yao Kun asked: Does that kind of thing really suck blood?Du Xiaotian nodded.Yao Kun changed color and said: The boss is so sure, could it be that he was also sucked by those things?Du Xiaotian nodded again and again, and said: But that time it was just a blood-sucking moth, and it was thrown away by me just as it started to suck blood.Only then did Yao Kun's complexion really change.Fu Biao couldn't help interjecting and asked: How could the surname Cui get into those things?Du Xiaotian said: I don't know.Fu Biao said: "Does he know it?"Du Xiaotian said: Listening to what he said, he obviously knows it, but he just refuses to say it, it seems that there is something hard to say.He paused and said: But even if he doesn't say anything, we might have an answer tonight.Yao Kun immediately said: Ye, it seems that it has already begun.

Du Xiaotian responded to his prestige, and the misty night had indeed begun to descend on the world.The pale moon in the sky gradually brightened accordingly.The light from the study window gradually brightened accordingly.The courtyard gradually darkened.There are no lights between the flowers and trees, and although there are stools and tables in the pavilion, there are no lights.Du Xiaotian and the three gradually fell into the darkness, and the three had nothing to say.The night is getting darker, the moon is getting higher and brighter.The light from the window of the study gradually became brighter, and the window paper was whitened by the light.Cui Beihai's figure appeared on the window paper from time to time.Sometimes he stands upright, sometimes he rubs his hands frequently, and sometimes he turns around like an ant on a hot pan.Although they couldn't hear any sound, only Cui Beihai's shadow, Du Xiaotian and the others could already feel Cui Beihai's restlessness.They became anxious unknowingly, when will the blood-sucking moth arrive? The night is deeper, the moon is higher and brighter, and it seems to be rounder.The moonlight was icy, casting a cold light, and the yard was foggy and blurred.I don't know where or when the fog came from. Under the moonlight, it is like the cold air emanating from the ice.The three of Du Xiaotian seemed to have been frozen, they did not move, their eyes were fixed, and they never left the window of the study.The light from the window is brighter, and the window paper snow seems to be white.Cui Beihai's half shadow was on the window paper, a motionless shadow.Judging from this shadow, Cui Beihai was sitting by the lamp, restless and sometimes calmed down.The drums for the first watch, the third watch, and the third watch have already sounded.The moon is in the middle sky, a mirror-like bright moon, a perfect bright moon.The drums sounded again, and the moon suddenly shattered!A cloud with a strange shape floated over suddenly, like a magic hand, tearing the bright moon apart.The cloud is dark red, as dark red as thick blood.The bright moon is like bathing in blood, a bloody bright moon! Du Xiaotian raised his eyes to look at the sky. He wanted to have a look at the sky, but he saw a bloody bright moon.He came out from a cold heart, why is the moon cloud tonight so strange?Mingyue immediately disappeared into the blood cloud.At this moment, Cui Beihai's figure printed on the window paper suddenly exploded!A terrifying exclamation exploded at the same time!Blood-sucking moth!This is Cui Beihai's voice!The blood-sucking moth is finally here!Du Xiaotian's gaze hurriedly turned back to the study.The sound of sword drawing came immediately!The voice resounded in the study, and Du Xiaotian and the others could hear it clearly from the pavilion.The night was too quiet.The shadow of the sword and the figure flew together, and the lights in the study suddenly went out!The entire study was completely swallowed by darkness in an instant!Du Xiaotian no longer hesitated, and shouted violently: "Hurry up!"The knife was out of its sheath, and the people flew out of the pavilion almost at the same time, rushing to the study!Fu Biao and Yao Kun were also fast enough. Yao Kun flipped his arms, dropped his back and inserted the double robs, and with a loud clang, Fu Biao also had the iron rope wrapped around his waist in his hand. Behind the laughing days! Du Xiaotian went up and down, landed in front of the study, and shouted: Brother Cui!There was no answer, and there was a dead silence in the study, a terrible dead silence!Fu Biao and Yao Kun both fell on Du Xiaotian's side. Yao Kun then asked: "Boss, how are you?"Du Xiaotian shouted: Break through!As soon as he entered the exit, his right foot flew up and kicked the door of the study.The door was kicked open with a bang!The knife in Du Xiaotian's hand was almost at the same time holding a blade, protecting his whole body.Even if a group of blood-sucking moths rushed out as soon as the door was opened, this knife flower can temporarily cut them off.Unexpectedly, no blood-sucking moths jumped out of it, not a single one.It was dark inside the door.Du Xiaotian's eyes flashed, he threw himself on the ground, rolled on the ground, the light of the knife rolled with him, and rolled into the darkness with the knife!Without Du Xiaotian's instructions, Yao Kun and Fu Biao smashed open a window from left to right, a bodyguard with two guns, and a flying iron chain, followed by the left and right through the window and rushed into the room!The darkness instantly engulfed the three of them. But in an instant, with a click, a ray of light flashed in the darkness.The light from Huozhezi.Du Xiaotian's whole body was shrouded in this ray of light, and Huozhezi was right in his hand.He has stood up, holding the fire folder high in his left hand, holding the knife in his right hand to protect his chest, his eyes flickering like lights.Fu Biao and Yao Kun also highlighted two fire notes on the left and right.The light from the three fire folders is enough to illuminate the entire study.Du Xiaotian could see clearly that apart from him, Fu Biao and Yao Kun, there was no other person in the study.Where did Cui Beihai go?The lamp is still on the table, the lampshade has been split into two pieces, and the lamp core has also been cut into two pieces.Cui Beihai had drawn his sword before, and that sword had obviously struck the lampshade.Of course, there was his reason for the sword slashing on the lampshade.He's not a lunatic vampire moth!At that time, he was startled to breathe blood moths, could it be that blood-sucking moths appeared near or on the lampshade, so his sword split the lampshade into two pieces, and even cut off the wick? The lamp core can still be ignited, Du Xiaotian will light the lamp core again.The light soon illuminated the whole study again, and with this lamp, the whole study suddenly seemed like daytime.Du Xiaotian could see more clearly that Cui Beihai was indeed not in the study.No one was seen, but blood was seen, a pool of blood beside the lamp holder, shining brightly under the lamp.The blood color is bright, the blood light is eerie, is it human blood or moth blood?Moth blood is colorless, is blood-sucking moth an exception?If it wasn't moth blood, it was Cui Beihai's blood.His blood is on the table, where is his person?Du Xiaotian dipped his fingers in the blood, sniffed it lightly with his nose, and muttered to himself: This should be human blood.He has been hunting for ten years, and he doesn't know how many thieves have fallen into his hands. Of course, those thieves will not all be caught without a fight. After these ten years, it is so-called life and death. Even he can hardly remember how many fierce fights he has had. He is also very familiar with the smell of human blood. Right now he wasn't too sure.Although he has seen blood-sucking moths, he has not seen the blood of blood-sucking moths.Those very different blood-sucking moths may store human blood in their bodies after sucking human blood.Perhaps after sucking human blood, the blood of those blood-sucking moths turned into human blood.Perhaps the blood in those blood-sucking moths was originally the same as that of humans.Du Xiaotian didn't think about it any further, he was afraid that his mind would be too messed up, and there were more important issues for him to solve.Whether it was a living person or a dead body, he had to find Cui Beihai first.He put down the torch, but held the lamp in his hand, and his whole body was bathed in the bright light.When people move, the light also moves with it.He went all over the study, searched the whole study.Of course, Fu Biao and Yao Kun would never stand idly by. They searched all the places Du Xiaotian had searched.The three searched like this, even if Cui Beihai changed to only an inch, I believe they would find him. How can a person who is seven feet tall become only an inch long or short? Unless Cui Beihai has just met a monster, he is probably a monster himself.He breathed blood moth in shock, if he really met a monster, it should be a blood-sucking moth demon!Isn't this just a legend? Are there really ghosts and ghosts in this world?Du Xiaotian searched again and again, and he carefully checked the doors and windows one by one.The doors and windows of the study were all closed inside. When he kicked the door open, the latch was broken by him. When Fu Biao and Yao Kun entered through the window, the window was smashed.The entire study was almost completely sealed.Even if Cui Beihai put his wings on his back, he couldn't just leave the study, not to mention that the whole study was under the supervision of Du Xiaotian and the others?He would never startle the blood-sucking moth for no reason, obviously he exclaimed so much when he really saw the blood-sucking moth.That exclamation was so shrill, it was so terrifying that it was really heart-wrenching.Although he couldn't see his expression, it was not difficult to imagine his fear just by hearing that cry.This is not the first time he has encountered a blood-sucking moth.If it was just a few blood-sucking moths, there was absolutely no reason for him to panic.In an instant, thousands of blood-sucking moths suddenly appeared in the study, attacking him together? If this is true, how can so many blood-sucking moths escape the surveillance of Du Xiaotian and the others, and how can they enter the study?It seems that only the wind can enter through the gaps in the doors and windows. Even though those blood-sucking moths are as thin as paper, how can they enter tens of thousands in just a short moment?What kind of blood-sucking moth did Cui Beihai see?Could it be that in an instant, the king of moths appeared?Could it be that the appearance of the Moth King was thousands of times more terrifying than the blood-sucking moths he had seen before?From his exclamation, to his drawing his sword, to the flying of human swords, to the extinguishing of the lights, to Du Xiaotian's breaking in, it took only a short moment!Even if Cui Beihai struck out with a sword, he would be killed by moths and lifted up by moths, how could he leave?In just a short moment, Cui Beihai almost turned into mist, disappeared in the study, and disappeared in the world.This is simply magic, and only magic can do this!Are there really ghosts and ghosts in the world?Du Xiaotian stood with the lamp in his hand, staring blankly at the pool of blood on the table, his whole body felt as if he was immersed in ice water.There was sweat dripping down his forehead, cold sweat! On March 16th, Du Xiaotian continued to search, but the scope of the search had expanded to the entire Jubaozhai.In addition to Fu Biao and Yao Kun, ten other police officers participated in the search.Du Xiaotian strictly forbids the matter from spreading.He will never spread such evil legends in the city without proof.Although he strictly prohibited it, the legend quickly spread in the city.Who spread the news?Du Xiaotian didn't have time to pursue this matter, and he didn't allow anyone to hinder their search.For a whole day, they searched the entire Jubaozhai, but Cui Beihai never disappeared.Even if a person dies, there should be a body left behind.Could it be that those blood-sucking moths not only sucked his blood, but also ate his corpse? On March 17, the scope of the search was extended to the whole city.It was not Du Xiaotian's opinion, but the order of the prefect Gao Tianlu.Gao Tianlu is also Cui Beihai's friend.After all, Cui Beihai is a rich man in this place, a person of considerable social status.As a result, the whole city knew about it, and many people took part in the search automatically.The search turned up no results.On March 18th, Prefect Gao ordered to search Jubaozhai again.This time it wasn't Du Xiaotian leading the group arrest, it was Yang Xun.Chief catcher Yang Xun finally dispatched to personally preside over the search.Yang Xun always thought that he was far smarter than Du Xiaotian, smarter than anyone else.Du Xiaotian didn't object to this statement. When Yang Xun was present, he rarely had his own opinions.He is not a well-known person, and he doesn't care what others say about him.In the past ten years, he has only done his duty faithfully. The morning wind was as cold as water, Yang Xun stepped forward, his bright official uniform fluttering in the wind.He stepped up the stone steps in front of the door, then turned around, swept his hands over his official uniform, and immediately shot his gaze at the subordinates behind him like lightning.What an imposing pose.Du Xiaotian saw it in his eyes, and he really admired it. Although he is also an official, and has been in office for more than ten years, until now, he still can't put on this kind of posture, can't show this kind of official authority.Yang Xun then yelled: "Who will communicate with me?"Du Xiaotian stepped out in two steps in response, the door of Jubaozhai was opened from the inside at the same time, and a young servant came out from inside.Yang Xun's voice has always been loud enough, and that yell can at least be spread far and wide.Before Du Xiaotian could speak to the boy, a bell rang from the long street.The sound of the bell was like a gust of wind blowing against the iron horse in front of the eaves, but it was far more beautiful than the wind blowing against the iron horse.Everyone turned their heads involuntarily.Two fast horses are rushing out from the corner, rushing like a gust of wind.The sound of the bell is from the first ride.Purple horses with golden bells, lavender gowns, snow-white shawls, golden swords with purple leather sheaths, and knights on horseback, young and handsome, just like a prince traveling in disguise.Always protect flowers!
