The night is as cold as water.
Under the silent night sky, the cold moonlight shone on the ground, reflecting two long shadows.
"Useless effort?"
Su Li smiled sweetly, "Old man, what does it have to do with you whether what I have done is in vain? If you only show up to say this, then I will forgive you for not accompanying me."
The old beggar was slightly stunned, as if he was surprised that Su Li was still so rude to him after knowing some secrets, but he soon returned to normal and laughed.
"Little girl, you are right. I have nothing to do with you, old beggar. You can do whatever you want! Maybe in the end, old beggar, I will help you."
"Help me?"
Su Li raised his eyebrows and asked with a chuckle: "Can the old man help me deal with the ancestor from Xiaoshen Palace?"
The old beggar's face immediately turned green. His breath was blocked by Su Li in his throat, and he almost choked. Then he turned around and ran away!
"Little girl, remember... there are no absolutes in everything, and everything is constant. If you can seize the opportunity, you might be able to... die and be reborn!"
…
"Heaven takes its course... Rebirth after death?"
Taking a handful of the already lukewarm bath water with one hand, Su Li frowned slightly and murmured a few words, confused. Her current situation was just as the old beggar said, it was a complete dead end.
If you want to gain a chance of survival, you must master some laws of heaven
But the way of heaven is such a distant and unfathomable existence, how can she find some pattern and grasp it
It sounds like it's simply impossible to do.
“…”
A slight sigh echoed in the silent bathroom.
After Su Li came back, Ling Li was finally able to calm down and deal with the mountain of church affairs that had piled up in the past half month. But when he looked through the information sent from Tianya Pavilion every day, the more he looked at it, the more suspicious he became.
The southern border country, which was experiencing frequent changes, suddenly stopped moving at all, and even sent compensation materials and tributes to the border military camps
Judging from the situation, you actually want to end the war
"Qinglan, do you know what's going on?"
Ling Li handed over the file, but Ling Qinglan rolled her eyes and did not accept it, "I said that even if you care about Su Li, you should still take a look at the border information sent every day. This information is out of date a long time ago. Just look at the latest one. "
With that said, Ling Qinglan pulled out another dossier from the table. Ling Li took it and opened it immediately. His eyes scanned the contents, and his face suddenly changed slightly, and his heart was shaking wildly.
Has the leader of Southern Xinjiang been changed? !
"When did this happen?"
Ling Qinglan frowned, shook her head and said, "I don't know, and the Lu family is weaker than the Wu family and Ma family in Yunjing City, so they cannot be the opponents of the Wei family."
Ling Li hummed lightly, and based on the changes in the situation, he speculated that the change of ownership of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom should coincide with the time when he went to rescue his second brother.
"I suspect that it was the Hehuan Sect who took action!"
Ling Qinglan held a folding fan in her hand and said in a solemn tone, "The brothers who were lurking in the Corpse Refining Sect a few days ago sent back news that the master of the Corpse Refining Sect suddenly took a group of elites from the sect and went deep into the Forbidden Land. So far, there has been no news. The people below are walking around and scattering, and it’s no longer a climate.”
"The Forbidden Land..."
Ling Li pondered with his eyes open. He had also heard of the terrible reputations of the Jedi. Now that he had entered the Corpse Refining Sect, he would not be able to get out in a short time. It was no longer a concern. What we should pay attention to now is what happened to the Corpse Refining Sect.
Why venture into the Forbidden Land
"It is impossible for the Hehuan Sect alone to force the Corpse Refining Sect to this extent, and with the strength of the Hehuan Sect, it is still far behind to overthrow the Wei family..."
Ling Li rubbed his eyebrows with a headache. He had not paid attention to the intelligence for more than ten days. Unexpectedly, the situation in the world had changed dramatically and it had changed beyond recognition.
"Check! First find out what happened in Tiangu City half a month ago, send people to secretly test the details of the Lu family, and at the same time pay close attention to the movements of the Hehuan Sect. If it is really the old immortal Master Ye who takes action, his actions will definitely not stop at this!"
Ling Qinglan's heart trembled and she nodded heavily.
Ling Li made no mistakes in his decision. With his order, the huge and tight machine of the Hidden Demon Sect immediately started running. However, the Hehuan Sect seemed to have disappeared from the world. No matter how Ling Li searched, he could never find it again. There is not even the slightest clue about the Hehuan Sect.
In desperation, Ling Li could only give up. There was no war on the border, and he did not need to be distracted by Ling Ping, so he could concentrate on dealing with the Dongfang family.
With Su Li by his side, time passed by unconsciously, and another year passed in the blink of an eye.
Nanny Li calculated with her fingers that she and her uncle had been married for more than a year and a half, and it had been four years since the day she rescued Su Li from the wooden house outside Dasu Town.
Time flies so fast!
Grandma Li sighed, and suddenly saw Qiu Meng's back leaving the east courtyard with a sad face, followed by a doctor.
"Madam is here to urge you again. It's no wonder. It's been so long since we got married, and there's no movement in Miss's stomach. If I... I'd be anxious too!"
Aunt Li murmured strangely and returned to the kitchen to prepare snacks. She had been following Su Li for the longest time. Although she didn't learn much about the young lady's craftsmanship, the snacks she made were still much more exquisite than other cooks. The old lady and Madam likes to eat most.
…
This year, Dahan Kingdom has not changed much. Although the emperor's health is getting worse year by year, since the fifth prince was established as the prince, the domestic situation has been much more stable than in previous years. As for Tianji Kingdom and Nanjiang Kingdom , naturally everything was calm, and the relations between the three countries entered an unprecedented period of harmony.
The Hidden Demon Sect has taken advantage of this to expand its strength. Both the Blood Tower and the Tianya Pavilion have made great progress, and have even completely covered the Southern Border Kingdom and entered the territory of the Tianji Kingdom.
But in the true spiritual world, which is disconnected from the secular world, the situation in the world has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past year!
First of all, the first one is the second force in the True Spirit Realm after Xiao Shen Palace, Gui Valley, which suddenly announced the closure of the valley, and all the disciples who were walking around in the outside world also returned to the valley, with no sign of going out!
Rumors are spreading all over the real spirit world. Some people say that Guigu was suddenly wiped out by a mysterious revenge seeker. Some people say that Guigu's ancestor returned to the valley to teach immortal magic and then recalled all the disciples. Each of the rumors is more exaggerated than the last. No one believe.
Not long after, the enthronement ceremony of the Pavilion Master of Wanjiang Pavilion overshadowed Guigu. With the banquet held for three days and three nights, the name of the Pavilion Master of Wenting Mountain spread throughout the true spirit world. At the same time, the Pavilion Master’s wife Ning Qing Being pregnant is a double blessing.
Su Li asked Fang Yuan to send a congratulatory note, while she stayed in the Ling Mansion and concentrated on practicing.
Finally, at a certain moment, Su Li opened her eyes, stopped the Xuan Gong, and touched her slender wrist with her fingertips.
"There are still four thousand left."
With a slight sigh of relief, Su Li stood up, opened the door and walked out.
The sunshine outside was quite dazzling, making her squint her eyes.
The scenery in the courtyard was as lush as a year ago. The words "prosperity and decline" came to Su Li's mind, and then she seemed to sense something, and her steps suddenly stopped.
He raised his head and saw a figure appearing beside the quiet courtyard wall.
Vicissitudes of life, loneliness, ragged clothes, unkempt hair and face, like a lonely ghost. That familiar face full of wrinkles exuded a completely different sinister aura at this moment.
It's him, Qi Xianqing.
"Master."
Su Li's pupils narrowed slightly and she called softly. Qi Xianqing reacted immediately and arrived in front of Su Li in a flash, staring at Su Li with his cloudy old eyes without saying a word.
At this moment, Nanny Li passed by the door and saw Su Li standing in the courtyard. She immediately smiled and said hello: "Miss, you finally know that it is good for your health to get out in the sun."
Su Li was startled for a moment, glanced at Qi Xianqing who was still staring at her, and then looked up at Nanny Li outside the courtyard gate. From that angle, she should have seen Qi Xianqing's back.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Aunt Li's voice interrupted her thinking. Su Li came back to her senses and shook her head: "It's nothing. I'm thinking about something. Go ahead and do your work."
"okay!"
Aunt Li had no doubt that he was there and disappeared outside the door in a blink of an eye.
Su Li's eyes returned to Qi Xianqing, and she was silent for a long time before suddenly speaking:
"Ghost clan?"
Qi Xianqing's eyes fluctuated, and he seemed to have no legs underneath him, floating to the side of Su Li. His voice was hoarse, and he was completely different from the gentle old doctor back then.
"You know about the ghost clan, who told you?"
"Tantai Feng."
Su Li replied simply, feeling increasingly certain that the "cheap master" in front of her had already remembered her identity.
Even if she lied, with his ability, he would be able to find out quickly.
"Jiejie...it turns out to be him."
Qi Xianqing smiled maniacally, his eyes bursting with unforgettable hatred, "He also had a share in the destruction of our ghost clan back then!"
Su Li was silent.
Qi Xianqing was startled for a moment, and suddenly a look of ridicule appeared on his face, and he chuckled: "I forgot, you are also a human race, haha..."
Su Li pursed her lips slightly and pressed her chin slightly: "Senior, why are you here?"
"What is your name?"
When Qi Xianqing heard what Su Li said, he immediately became angry and asked with wide eyes.
Su Li's expression remained unchanged and she said in a deep voice, "Junior is just..."
"Just what?"
Qi Xianqing interrupted Su Li and said sullenly: "I, the ghost clan, value single-mindedness. Since I have recognized you as my disciple, you must be my disciple for the rest of your life and you will not regret it!"
Do ghosts still have such customs
Su Li was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say. She had already expected that if she solved the problem in Guigu, Qi Xianqing would definitely come to him, but she didn't expect that it would be Qi Xianqing who had recovered his memory.
"Girl, take this thing!"
Qi Xianqing turned his hand and pulled out a simple black ring from somewhere. Su Li took it doubtfully and looked at it for a moment. There was no pattern on the surface of the ring, and the texture felt a bit rough, like a stone surface.
At this moment, a dark light flashed in Qi Xianqing's eyes, and the ring in Su Li's hand blended into Su Li's skin like water. Then, after appearing on Su Li's ring finger, a black lotus quietly emerged from the surface of the ring.
