In the moonlit willow branches, people meet after dusk.
The Moon Lake in the summer evening is undoubtedly unforgettable.
It's just that things are different and people are different...
The moonlight is like water, covering the moon lake with a layer of silver gauze, while talented people and beauties use the lantern market to express their lovesickness.
"Wow, there are a lot of red lanterns over there. Brother, Qiluo and I will go shopping there. We won't get involved in your date with the Cui family girl, hehehehe..."
After Jiang Raner finished speaking, regardless of whether Li Nuo agreed or not, she quickly took Qiluo's arm and ran towards the lively lantern market.
"Go ahead, but be careful."
Li Nuo gave a little reminder.
He is not afraid that these two girls will be bullied, but he is afraid that these two girls will cause trouble and beat people.
"Hehe, we are very good!"
Li Nuo's answer was a laugh like a silver bell.
Li Nuo then looked at the moonlight and saw that the time for the appointment was almost here, so he walked towards the lakeside peach garden where he had fallen in love.
Close to Taoyuan.
Although it is already May, the peach blossoms are still smiling and blooming. When the hibiscus is just waiting to be released, the beauty dominates the whole spring and summer!
The shadowy figure of a woman stood under the peach tree, her slender hands caressing the peach branches.
Li Nuo strolled forward.
The woman felt someone coming behind her, and her body trembled slightly, but she did not look back.
The graceful figure looks hazy under the moon.
Li Nuo looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar figure, sighed, and asked softly: "I'm here on an appointment, what do you want from me?"
Li Nuo couldn't do such a disconnected thing, let alone feel sorry for his wife, so his tone towards Cui Wanwan was quite cold and businesslike.
Cui Wanwan turned slightly sideways, her eyes fell on the moonlight rippling on the lake, and said: "Don't worry, I'm looking for you for business."
After two years of accumulation, Cui Wanwan has come out of her pain.
Although he still couldn't face Li Nuo completely calmly, he could at least be calm and calm.
Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief.
That's good.
He was afraid that Cui Wanwan would get entangled and cause unnecessary trouble for him.
Li Nuo asked calmly: "What do you have to say in person?"
"I'm afraid that the news will be leaked. Today, there happened to be Wenbi at the White Horse Temple, so I was able to go out. And the appointment here is also to cover up people's eyes."
Cui Wanwan's eyes finally fell on Li Nuo.
This man has grown a beard and has become much more mature. He is no longer the person she remembered before.
Especially the aura he exuded inadvertently made people feel a little uncomfortable.
Li Nuo looked at the surrounding environment and said: "In this environment, no one will notice us. If you have anything to say, just say it."
On the shore of the lake, talented people and beautiful women gather together, and indeed no one pays special attention to them.
Cui Wanwan opened her mouth lightly and sighed: "My grandfather is probably possessed by a demon."
"Possessed?"
Li Nuo's eyes suddenly burst into light.
"Um."
Cui Wanwan nodded lightly.
"How did you find out?"
Li Nuo's expression slowly became serious.
Cui Wuhui has become a demon. This is not a trivial matter! If he doesn't do it right, I'm afraid the whole world will... be turbulent and change!
However, even though he was a dignified third-grade martial artist with the magical power of "Knowing the Smallest Things", he never noticed anything strange about Cui Wuhui. Cui Wanwan was not the "eighth-grade literary state of mind", so how did he discover it?
"My grandfather still seemed to be brooding over my aunt's death. Although he didn't say anything, I knew that deep down in his heart he was actually very guilty. Once, he was practicing in the study and became possessed, and kept shouting
Aunt’s name.”
Cui Wanwan sighed and said with a sad expression, "I know that if my grandfather cannot untie this knot in his heart, he will become completely possessed."
"I see."
Li Nuo nodded silently.
He knew the seriousness of the matter.
Cui Wuhui, a second-level literary man, is not stable. There is still a big gap between him and Li Qi. He should be considered a pseudo-second-level one!
He must recite the saint's book every day to consolidate his cultivation.
The second level of Wen Dao is [Invulnerable to all laws]. If you want to not be troubled by all laws, you need to face your true heart!
But this magnified the guilt in his heart for the death of his daughter Cui Yunyun.
In short, reading books by saints nourishes literary spirit for others, while reading books by saints nourishes inner demons for others.
In fact, it is difficult for Confucian and Taoist scholars to breed inner demons because they have great righteousness.
It's a pity that Cui Wuhui's own cultivation level is somewhat "incorrect", and Haoran's righteousness cannot protect him.
Li Nuo sighed: "Sorry, I can't help you with this."
He would not be so generous to help Cui Wuhui.
How to repay kindness with kindness?
In short, there is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation between him and Cui Wuhui.
This is about a man's dignity.
And what scholars care about most is dignity!
Otherwise, he would not have destroyed his foundation of Confucianism and Taoism and proved himself innocent.
There was a trace of pleading in Cui Wanwan's eyes: "My grandfather is old and his temples are gray. He also praised you in front of me before, saying that the future of Confucianism and Taoism belongs to you."
"I don't need his praise."
Li Nuo said calmly, indifferent.
Cui Wanwan nodded dullly: "Your temper is still as strong as ever."
"It's easy to change a country, but it's hard to change a person's temperament. If there is nothing else, I will go back."
Li Nuo turned and left.
Cui Wanwan opened her mouth, but in the end she couldn't say anything to save her. Thousands of words finally turned into a long sigh.
She knew that the grudges between herself and this man were completely severed from this moment on.
from now on.
They are like strangers.
Not far away, under the peach forest, their little heads were poking around, and when they saw that Li Nuo had discovered their traces, they showed a playful smile.
"Aren't you here to guess riddles? What are you doing sneaking around here?"
Li Nuo glared at the two girls.
It's really not a worry.
"Hey, uncle, the date is over so soon?"
Qiluo said with a smile.
Just now they said they were going to the lantern market as an excuse. They were smart enough to hide in the dark and observe secretly.
I just want to see if my uncle and Cui Wanwan are really connected.
She has to look after her young lady!
I didn't know that my uncle was so neat and tidy, without any hesitation.
This also greatly disappointed her.
"Of course I'll come back after everything is said. Could it be that you two don't trust me, so you're hiding in secret to supervise me?"
Li Nuodao.
"Hehe. Brother, I want that rabbit lantern."
Jiang Ran'er pointed to the lantern riddles and changed the subject.
"Okay, I'll get you one."
Li Nuo still loves Jiang Raner very much.
But at this moment.
A cry of surprise sounded.
In the shadow, a sharp dagger suddenly pierced Cui Wanwan's chest.
Cui Wanwan fell down in response, blood trickling out from the wound.
When Li Nuo reacted, the assassin had retreated into the shadows again.
Then, there was a splash from the Moon Lake.
It was just that the crowd was in a panic and noisy, but no one noticed that the assassin had escaped through the water.
Li Nuofei rushed over and hugged Cui Wanwan, channeling his inner strength to protect her heart.
But he immediately frowned.
Cui Wanwan's vitality is still passing away.
Cui Wanwan's eyes widened, her face turned as pale as snow, her lips trembled, and she wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't.
Finally, she breathed her last in Li Nuo's arms...
