In the silence of the town, a moonlit adventure is about to unfold ......
In that remote town, a quaint inn is bathed in silver moonlight. Travelers often stop here, and the innkeeper is an amiable old man. However, the most striking thing in the inn is a mysterious widow.
Her name is Qiushui, and her face is beautiful but with a hint of indescribable sadness. After her husband's early death, she lived alone in the inn, embroidering needlework for a living. The townspeople know very little about her origins, except that she came from out of town, and the story behind her is a mystery.
One day, a swordsman named Li Feng broke into the inn, heroic and sassy. He is a traveler on the rivers and lakes, passing by here, thinking that he will rest here for a night and go on the road again tomorrow.
As night fell, the inn became quieter. Li Feng sat quietly in the corner, a pot of tea, and quietly looked around. And Qiushui is busy behind the counter, and there is a hint of a different charm in the elegant movements, which makes people curious.
Late at night, Li Feng lay in bed but couldn't sleep. He thought about his career and his future path. Suddenly, he heard a slight noise outside the window. Li Feng got up vigilantly, pushed the window, and in the moonlight, he saw a familiar figure sharpening a knife in the courtyard. It was autumn water, white as snow, like a fairy.
Li Feng's heart moved: "It's so late, why is Qiushui sharpening his knife?" Is there something going on? He decided to take a sneaky look and see what was going on.
The movements of the autumn water knife sharpening are skillful and sharp, as if practicing a unique knife technique. Her eyes were cold and deep, which was completely different from her usual gentle appearance. Li Feng's heart tightened, and he was secretly vigilant, and decided to uncover this mystery.
At this moment, Qiushui stopped his movements and looked up at Li Feng's room, his eyes as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to see through everything. Li Feng's heart was shocked, and he quickly closed the window and pretended to be asleep.
After a while, he was relieved to hear Qiushui's footsteps fading away. However, the doubts in my heart became more and more intense: "What is hidden in the autumn water?" She sharpened her knife in the middle of the night, why? This question entangled Li Feng and kept him awake all night.
The next morning, the first rays of sunlight shone on the inn's bluestone slabs. Li Feng got up early in the morning and came to the courtyard. Qiushui had already begun to prepare breakfast, as if everything from last night was just a dream.
However, Li Feng knew that things were not simple. He walked up to Qiushui and greeted with a smile: "Qiushui girl, morning." ”
Qiushui glanced at him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "Young Master Li, morning." What's the matter? ”
Li Feng's eyes were firm, and he looked directly at Qiushui: "Last night, I saw you sharpening your knife in the courtyard. I wonder, why is that? ”
After hearing this, a trace of panic flashed in Qiushui's eyes, but he quickly calmed down. She sighed softly and said, "Master Li, some things are not as simple as you think. I sharpen my knives just to protect myself. ”
Li Feng frowned slightly: "Self-preservation? Is there any danger in this town? ”
Qiushui was silent for a moment, as if weighing whether to tell the truth. Eventually, she decided to speak: "There is an old legend in this town. It is said that every night when the moon is full, an evil spirit appears and harms innocent people. I sharpened my sword to deal with the evil spirit. ”
When Li Feng heard this, his heart moved. As a swordsman, he didn't completely disbelieve in ghosts and gods. Instead of directly refuting Qiushui, he decided to investigate secretly to see what the truth was.
In the days that followed, Li Feng began to pay attention to the vision of the town. He discovers that on a full moon night, something strange happens. Some people have inexplicable scratches in their homes, and some people say that they saw blurry figures wandering at night.
These clues made Li Feng more and more convinced that what Qiushui said was not nonsense. He decided to wait for himself on the next full moon night to see if he could find any trace of the evil spirit.
The night of the full moon has finally fallen. Li Feng hid in the shadows, staring at the surroundings of the inn. The night is getting darker, and only the moonlight is sprinkled on the bluestone slabs, which looks particularly cold.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed in Li Feng's sight. It shuttles quickly through the courtyard, seemingly looking for something. Li Feng's heart moved, and he quietly followed.
The shadow finally stopped in front of the door of a room and gently pushed the door in. Li Feng followed, only to find that the room was empty. He wondered and looked around.
Suddenly, he heard a slight moan. Following the prestige, I saw Qiushui lying on the bed, his face pale, obviously frightened. And the dark shadow was standing beside her bed, holding a dagger with a cold light in his hand.
Seeing this, Li Feng immediately pulled out his long sword and rushed towards the black shadow. After a fierce battle, he finally saw the true face of the black shadow - it turned out to be an evil spirit with a distorted face!
The evil spirit was defeated by Li Feng and disappeared into a wisp of green smoke. Qiushui also regained his composure and told Li Feng the truth. It turned out that her husband was a ** wizard, and after his death, the gem was cursed and turned into an evil spirit. On the night of the full moon, evil spirits return to harass her. She sharpens her knives just to protect herself.
After Li Feng heard this, he was full of emotion in his heart. He lamented what happened to Qiushui, but at the same time rejoiced in his curiosity. If it weren't for his persistence, Qiushui might still be living under the threat of evil spirits.
From then on, Li Feng stayed in the town to protect Qiushui from evil spirits. Qiushui's gratitude to him was beyond words, and feelings quietly developed between the two.
However, fate turned out to be a merciless teasing. Just when the two thought they could enjoy happiness, the news of an accident broke the silence.
The townspeople say that the power of the evil spirits has not dissipated, but is gradually increasing. This small village is about to face an even greater disaster.
Li Feng's heart tightened, he knew that his responsibility was far from over. In order to protect this land he loves, and to protect the autumn water, he decides to investigate deeply and find out the source of the evil spirit's power.
Qiushui looked at Li Feng's determined eyes, she knew that he would never back down. She silently prayed for him and was ready to face the challenges with him.
Li Feng ran around, looking for clues to the power of evil spirits. He flipped through ancient books, consulted masters, and even went to the mountains and forests to find a way to save him.
Finally, on a stormy night, he found the answer. The power of the evil spirit comes from a cursed gem that was once owned by Qiushui's husband.
If you want to rid of the evil spirit, you must destroy this gem. However, the gem is closely guarded by evil spirits, and it is not easy to approach it.
After careful planning, Li Feng decided to use the lure of autumn water to lure the evil spirits out of the cave on the night of the full moon, and then take the opportunity to destroy the gem.
The night of the full moon came as promised, and Qiushui came to the vicinity of the cave as planned. The evil spirit was fooled and followed her breath. Li Feng took the opportunity to sneak into the cave and found the cursed gem.
However, just as he prepares to destroy the gem, an evil spirit appears and blocks his path. A life-and-death struggle unfolds again.
At the critical moment, Qiushui rushed into the cave and used his body to block the attack of the evil spirit. She knows very well that only by sacrificing herself can she win opportunities for Li Feng.
Tears welled up in Li Feng's eyes, he clenched Qiushui's hand, poured all his strength into the sword, and slashed towards the gem with a sword. With a loud bang, the gem was completely destroyed, and the evil spirit dissipated.
Qiushui quietly closed her eyes in Li Feng's arms, her smile full of calmness and satisfaction. Li Feng was grief-stricken, but he knew that Qiushui had made such a sacrifice in order to protect him and the town.
The town is quiet again, but everyone's hearts are filled with nostalgia and gratitude for the autumn water. Li Feng buried Qiushui at the highest point in the town, and every full moon night, he would come to the tomb alone and tell Qiushui about his thoughts and guilt.
As the years passed, Li Feng's story became a legend, and his love with Qiushui also became an eternal legend. The town that was once haunted by evil spirits has become more harmonious and beautiful because of their dedication and sacrifice. This is a desperate love, a heroic legend, and an indelible memory.
