Seeking the Dao in the Seemingly Mundane Mortal World

Chapter 21: Li Qinglin

Views:

This "Feast of Catching the Wind" was lackluster. The brothers and sisters of the Li family who died of their eldest brother were obviously not in the mood to drink and have fun, and it was even more inappropriate. He just set up a regular seat in the mansion and introduced Li Qinglin's cronies to Qin Yi.

There are four or five so-called cronies, both civil and military, and their attitude towards Qin Yi is more official. After all, it is not easy to show likes and dislikes in such a position. Even if some people may look down on this inexplicable alchemist, they will not express their attitude.

All Qin Yi could see was a smile like a spring breeze, with a touch of scrutiny and alienation in the respect.

Even Li Qingjun is no longer a casual comrade-in-arms intimacy, and keeps a distance from Qin Yi. The attitude during the banquet was more dignified than anyone else. Qin Yi even saw her cover the wine glass with her small hand and sip it lightly.

The woman in the pavilion holding his wine gourd and drinking with her neck up, seemed like a flash in the pan.

"It's a very depressing feeling." Back in his living room, Qin Yi sat down by the window and leaned against the window sill to look at the flowers in the yard, "I'd rather walk with the Li brothers and sisters in the rivers and lakes, and I really don't want to. See them in the capital."

Li Qingjun has already left, she has her own residence, of course she will not stay with her brother. Li Qinglin also summoned his cronies to discuss matters, most of which were related to the position of the prince, but he didn't let Qin Yi listen, and Qin Yi didn't care, so he went back to the guest house by himself.

Tassel's voice was a little teasing: "I regret going out with them? What a happy life in Xianji Mountain, right?"

"It doesn't matter where you live." Qin Yi took out the wine gourd, took a sip, and found that he had reached the bottom, and put it aside a little boringly.

"Just pretend." Tassel said, "Why don't you bring a peach wood sword when you go to this reception banquet?"

"What are you bringing with you?" Qin Yi asked back, "Even if there are demons around Li Qinglin, it doesn't mean that this is evidence of brother murder. Instead, it makes me feel like I'm violently hurting people during the banquet. How can I mess around in the future?"

Liusu seemed to ask casually, "If he really killed his brother, would you still cooperate with him?"

Qin Yi looked at the yard in a trance, before saying, "I don't know."

"Actually, even if he kills his brother, it has nothing to do with you. What you want to deal with is only the national teacher." Liusu Yu urged: "Li Qinglin is better if he has a plan for the throne, and it is better to deal with the national teacher."

Qin Yi was still in a trance, not knowing what to think. After a long time, he said: "Anyway, I still believe him at the moment. When the prince was assassinated, he was still looking for me in the mountains. When a Taoist nun who didn't know him provoked a few words, he first suspected his partner. It was a problem with his mind."

Tassel smiled and understood.

Qin Yi used one word, "currently". Liusu knew that even though Qin Yi believed in him, he still had a bit of confusion in his heart, at least he would pay a little attention to this in his daily contact.

Qin Yi suddenly said: "By the way, can you control this sword? I don't want such an uncontrollable thing beside me."

Tassel laughed: "Cultivation with me."

Qin Yi said with contempt, "I think you probably won't."

I saw a mace jumping up in place: "Who said I wouldn't!"

Li Qinglin also discussed with his cronies in the secret room how to deal with the next changes in the current situation. Everything was arranged properly, and it was already dark.

After the cronies left, Li Qinglin let out a sigh of relief and sat alone in the secret room watching the light of the night pearl, without moving for a long time.

In a corner where the light of the night pearl couldn't shine, a female voice suddenly came: "In the past two days, a very strong consciousness has been shrouded in the vicinity, and I don't even dare to go out."

The female voice sounded a little immature and cold, and if Qin Yi heard what she said, she would probably jump straight up.

There is no doubt that this is the demon that Minghe is catching!

Li Qinglin laughed dumbly: "No wonder I said why you haven't left yet. After you agreed to do this for me, you left."

"You still have the heart to laugh?" The female voice said coldly: "Do you know what this means is that I have been exposed, and a foreign monk I have never seen is staring at me."

Li Qinglin still smiled: "You said that if things don't work out, you will kill yourself to repay your kindness, and you won't cause me any trouble. I hope your so-called soul blood oath is more reliable than human's."

After a long silence in the shadows, he sighed in a low voice: "The blood oath is very powerful, you don't have to worry... You hired an alchemist to come back?"

Li Qinglin asked back, "Do you hope he can help you get through this?"

"The ants are still alive, let alone me? I... Of course I don't want to die."

Li Qinglin thought about it for a while, then sighed and said, "Since the other party doesn't enter the mansion, then you should stay here for now, and I will talk to Qin Yi tomorrow before making any calculations..."

"You..." The female voice was quite surprised: "Are you still willing to help me? This might get you into trouble, and it might even make that Qin Yi doubt you."

Everyone knows that the best solution is to keep your vows and kill yourself. Not to mention the monks outside, no one would know that there used to be a monster here, and the last clue of the prince's case was completely annihilated.

The woman seemed to have no idea that Li Qinglin would actually choose to help her, which was completely beyond her understanding of Li Qinglin.

Li Qinglin didn't need her to think about it, and said to himself, "Actually, this matter... After all, it's not too difficult to understand that there are monsters around me, and Qin Yi doesn't seem to be a stubborn person who will kill a monster when he sees it. Are you involved? Help the monster raised in my house, can you still talk about it?"

"Yeah. It's just that it's all over the place after all..."

"Okay." Li Qinglin waved his hand, "You said I'm helping you, why don't I want to take this opportunity to meet the monk you're talking about? Qin Yi doesn't have much practice after all. If his alchemy isn't enough, maybe this is what you're talking about. The foreign cultivator is my last choice, and it may not be Donghuazi's person."

The female voice was silent again.

A foreign cultivator means that he has nothing to do with the local forces, and is indeed the object that Li Qinglin can unite with. The price to be paid is about her head.

"A person like you... Aren't you afraid that this kind of planning on the edge of a cliff will eventually fail?"

"It's up to people." Li Qinglin said lightly: "At least for now, everything is going well."

The female voice said indifferently: "It's okay to count the enemy and count me. You used the excuse of accompanying Princess Zhaoyang to find the immortal, and you not only invited the alchemist to come back, but also took the opportunity to create a proof that has nothing to do with the Prince's case. Everything went according to your plan, The only one who was used all over the place was Princess Zhaoyang, who was happily going with her brother to find immortals, do you have nothing to be ashamed of?"

Li Qinglin pondered and said to himself: "Qingjun is a brilliant monkey who is on the road to immortality, and the purest truth. She will grow up eventually, but I don't know what the opportunity is."

"monkey?"

"Yes, monkey, and I am the monkey who is gambling with the Tathagata, and I am fighting. If I have no means and remain as innocent as Qingjun, then I will not be able to escape the ending at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain." Li Qinglin's expression once again It became dull: "I'm walking on thin ice now, how can I take care of everyone's mood?"
