Since Qin Ke agreed to Xiao Ling, he will definitely do it. After he left Sanqing Palace, he didn't go back to Yuxu Palace and went directly to the lower realm.
Before going to Pei's house, he had to solve the problems left by Fairy Peony. Peony used to be the head of the Hundred Flowers, responsible for keeping the property related to the Hundred Flowers Association, and the Hunyuan Xiandan was one of them.
Fourteen days ago, Qin Ke went down to earth in person to arrest Mudan and bring her to justice. But I didn't expect Mudan to bring the Hunyuan elixir with her. After Mudan was captured back to the heaven, the heavenly soldiers and generals checked the property and found that the Hunyuan elixir was nowhere to be found.
Hunyuan elixir can consolidate the foundation, cultivate the vitality, and improve the cultivation level. It is the only magic weapon for immortals to break into the realm. This is not an important treasure, but after all, it has been registered in the treasure book of heaven, so it is not a big deal to lose it rashly. Qin Ke originally planned to send heavenly soldiers down to look for the Hunyuan Pill. Later, Xiao Ling told him about assisting the greedy wolf in crossing the catastrophe. Qin Ke didn't send his subordinates, but planned to take a trip by himself and take the Hunyuan Pill on the way to Pei's house get back.
Peony Fairy and Yang Hua used to live in seclusion in Pingshan. There were three wooden houses at home. There was a long land in front of the house and a pond of water behind the house. Besides the husband and wife, they also raised a black dog and a clump of wild flowers. At ease; leisurely. It's a pity that everything is good until the arrival of the heavenly soldiers. Qin Ke learned that Mudan violated the rules of heaven, so he went down to earth in person, and took Mudan and Yang Hua back to the prison.
One day in the sky and one year in the ground, it only took fourteen days for Qin Ke from capture to trial, but fourteen years had passed in the world. Qin Ke went to Pingshan for the first stop. The cozy courtyard in the past has long since fallen into disrepair. Qin Ke scanned Mudan's residence, but found no trace of Peiyuandan.
Qin Ke stood on the flower lawn in front of the house for a while, feeling the subtle elixir and a little bit of evil spirit.
After all, peony is the leader of all flowers. With her watering and taking care of it every day, every flower will soon give birth to wisdom and become a spirit. Qin Ke noticed that the black dog in the yard was also missing. Most likely, the Hunyuan elixir was taken away by these goblins.
Low-level monsters can't digest the elixir, and Qin Ke is not afraid of what they will do to the elixir, but it will be troublesome for him to take a detour.
Qin Ke followed the breath of the elixir and walked all the way to the depths of the mountain. The monsters and beasts in the mountains are useless to Qin Ke. Even if his cultivation is only one-tenth, it is not something that can be provoked by mere mortals.
Qin Ke quickly found the Hunyuan elixir. However, besides the dog, there was also a woman.
Coincidentally, it was an acquaintance.
Qin Ke will go to Pei's house to perform a mission in a while. He went down this time to help Pei Ji'an overcome the catastrophe, and to protect Pei Ji'an from Li Chaoge's claws. With his status in the human world, it is inevitable to meet Li Chaoge face to face in the future. If he is recognized here, I am afraid it will be a little troublesome.
Qin Ke had no choice but to temporarily pinch a mask for himself to block Li Chaoge's attack by the way. This woman is really murderous.
She has nothing to say about killing the demon Qin Ke, but if her sword strikes, if the Hunyuan elixir is broken, the fairy world will suffer a lot.
Qin Ke stopped Li Chaoge, took away the Hunyuan elixir first, and then planned to leave. Qin Ke never cares about other things, Li Chaoge kills demons is her business, Qin Ke accepts the elixir is the business of heaven, after he takes the things away, Li Chaoge fights as he likes.
Unexpectedly, Li Chaoge, who was still aggressive just now, stopped killing the demon, and instead followed Qin Ke wholeheartedly, unable to shake him off no matter what. Qin Ke realized that she was not an ordinary person. Judging by her body skills, she had clearly practiced fairy arts.
Qin Ke thought to himself, no wonder, it seems that Tanlang was trapped so miserably in the previous life, and Tanlang cannot be completely blamed for being useless. However, she is a mortal, why did she learn the magic of the fairy family
Some guesses surfaced in Qin Ke's mind. For this reason, he did not leave immediately, but asked a rare question: "Why are you following me?"
"You haven't answered my question yet." Li Chaoge was thrown into the deep mountains and old forests by old man Zhou for training since she was a child. Although she is struggling now, she is not completely unable to keep up. In Pingshan, have you appeared before?"
Qin Ke calculated the time of mortals, Yonghui eighteen years ago, four years ago in this life, and fourteen days ago in Heaven. At that time, he brought the heavenly soldiers and generals to arrest Peony Fairy. If Li Chaoge lived in Pingshan, it is possible to see him by chance.
Although Qin Ke has a cold temper, he does not deny the facts. He nodded and said, "It's me."
Li Chaoge's eyes widened in surprise, it really was him!
In the eighteenth year of Yonghui, Li Chaoge was twelve years old, ignorant, heartless, and completely unaware of the difference between men and women. That day, she was thrown into the mountain by old man Zhou to cut firewood, and suddenly felt the cold air in the forest. Li Chaoge jumped to the top of the tree, and saw a fairy in the wind, with a icy appearance, standing in the clouds, under the clouds. , There are vague figures in white armor holding swords up and down.
That glance had a great impact on Li Chaoge. The clouds and mist surged, and everything disappeared quickly, as if it was just a mirage. Even Li Chaoge didn't know whether the scene she saw was real or just her hallucination.
She couldn't see clearly the appearance of the man in the cloud, but the awe-inspiring aura of Tsinghua University and the majestic appearance of treasures has been firmly lingering in Li Chaoge's heart ever since. It seems that from this day on, Li Chaoge suddenly realized that she was different from her friends in the village, and she was also different from old man Zhou.
For the first time, she realized that she was a girl.
It was also because of this glance that Li Chaoge subconsciously preferred people with immortal looks, even her choice of son-in-law was hard to escape. Li Chaoge fell in love with Pei Ji'an with a single glance, and for the next eight years, he liked him like a bewitched man, which had a lot to do with the startling glance at the age of twelve.
After Li Chaoge was reborn, he planned to let go of his obsessions, but unexpectedly, he met the person from his previous life here.
Li Chaoge sighed infinitely in his heart, if she could meet this person again in her previous life, why would she never forget Pei Ji'an? But Li Chaoge thought about it again. In her previous life, when she was sixteen years old, she had no ability to venture into the Black Forest alone. Even if this person also appeared here, she would not have the chance to meet him.
Think about it, all of this is cause and effect.
After Li Chaoge figured it out, he was no longer obsessed with his previous life. Because this was the white moonlight that had suddenly appeared in the previous life, when Li Chaoge spoke, he unknowingly became very polite: "You disappeared so quickly that day, I thought I was dreaming and hallucinating. I did not remember wrongly, that The dead old man lied to me again."
Qin Ke remained calm and asked, "Since you live in Pingshan, why are you here now?"
"Oh, because we moved." Li Chaoge's tone inadvertently softened when he thought about the age of twelve, "I went home excitedly that day, and told old man Zhou that I saw a fairy. Old man Zhou said that my mind was broken, I had hallucinations, not only stopped me from thinking about it, but even took me to move overnight."
week? Qin Ke's brows slightly moved under the mask, he glanced at Li Chaoge quietly, and asked calmly, "Is your foster person surnamed Zhou?"
Even if Li Chaoge had a good impression of Bai Yueguang in his previous life, he wouldn't be completely vigilant. Her eyes gradually sharpened, she took a look at Qin Ke, and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
To Li Chaoge's surprise, the other party didn't press the question any further, but smiled softly: "It's nothing."
Li Chaoge refused to say, but Qin Ke already got the answer. No wonder, it turned out so.
Zhou Changgeng. No wonder the sky and the earth have cast nets for so many years and they can't find him. It turns out that he has hidden in the mortal world. In fact, Qin Ke should have thought of it earlier. Zhou Changgeng was a personage in the world who ascended to the top. He is chivalrous at best, but gangster at worst. He was impatient with the constraints of the heavens, and secretly ran back to the human world, which was completely predictable.
It is such a coincidence that Zhou Changgeng picked up Li Chaoge, brought him up, and after many years, he ruthlessly cheated his colleagues in the heavenly realm. As a result, Qin Ke had to go down to earth to help them clean up the mess.
Li Chaoge remembered that old man Zhou said that he hid in the deep mountains and old forests to avoid being hunted down by his enemies. It is not ordinary people who can hunt down and kill old man Zhou, and this man's force is unfathomable, he appears here inexplicably, what is the reason for
Li Chaoge was vigilant and asked: "Our village is poor, and the Black Forest is not a place of interest. Why did you appear here late at night, wearing a mask and refusing to show it to others?"
Qin Ke lightly touched the mask on his face, and said, "No one else, just to avoid trouble."
"Trouble?" Li Chaoge still looked at him suspiciously, "What's the trouble? Is it worth bothering the young master to come to a remote place like ours?"
"Trouble caused by a woman."
When Li Chaoge heard this, he snorted lightly and said, "I know. I thought that the son's fairy appearance would be different from other people, but I didn't expect you to have this idea too. It's a woman's fault that beauty is troubled. It's the woman's fault that the hen sits in the morning, and even the troubles are also the woman's fault."
Qin Ke remembered that in the Xumi Mirror, Li Chaoge died in the palace wearing the emperor's crown. Qin Ke didn't know what she had gone through and why she wanted to seize the throne, but he and Xiao Ling decided to bring Li Chaoge and Pei Ji'an back to life. Since she was given a second life, Qin Ke must bear part of the responsibility. With the goodwill of his elders, Qin Ke said to Li Chaoge: "Since ancient times, high-ranking and capable people have lived in it. It is not men and women who measure the quality of a leader, but ability. If she has ability, history books will naturally give her justice; if she has no ability, only Killing innocent people indiscriminately for their own selfish desires will only be abandoned by the world."
Li Chaoge was silent. She didn't know why Qin Ke said these words, but undoubtedly, they were right in her heart. Li Chaoge killed a lot of people in her previous life, first for justice, then for self-protection, in the end, she couldn't stop, she could only stop killing by killing. She killed many courtiers who opposed her, but for the popular nursery rhyme in Dongdu, she never killed any of the people who secretly pointed out her disloyalty and filial piety.
She actually regretted it all the time. She admitted that she was selfish and wanted to ascend to the supreme position, but she also wanted to be a good emperor.
But she didn't make it. When killing Li Huai and Li Changle, Li Chaoge kept wondering if she did something wrong. If Li Huai is made emperor, is it really better than her
The two walked in the jungle silently, and the rustling wind came from the black forest behind them. After a while, Li Chaoge asked softly, "How can I be a good emperor and daughter?"
Qin Ke reminded her coldly: "Speak carefully. In the mortal world, it is a crime to be beheaded for saying such words."
Li Chaoge was immersed in emotions, when he heard his words, his emotions were interrupted immediately, and he felt quite speechless. She didn't know what this man looked like, but looking at his figure and fingers, he was undoubtedly very beautiful. A good person, why is talking so boring
Li Chaoge thought that she was bored enough, but she didn't expect that there were people in the world who couldn't chat better than her.
Li Chaoge said: "I'm just making an analogy, and I want to find out how to be a good official while being a good daughter and wife... Forget it, a good wife and a good official are contradictory. What is marriage for? The biggest mistake I made in my life was falling in love with a man and marrying him. It hurt others and myself, and in the end I really didn’t want to die.”
Qin Ke corrected her again: "You failed in your official career because you misjudged your ability. What does it have to do with your husband?"
Li Chaoge doesn't care if Qin Ke criticizes her, but if he speaks for Pei Ji'an, that won't work. Li Chaoge sneered, raised his eyebrows and said, "It doesn't matter, so what? I just don't like him. Before he stabbed me with a sword, I slapped him back. It was even; but he slept with other women and deliberately disgusted me. I haven't settled the score with him yet. How can I feel sorry for him, why should he treat me like this? "
Qin Ke couldn't help recalling the scene he saw from Xiao Ling before. Li Chaoge seemed to have killed Pei Ji'an's grandfather, uncle, sister, nephew, sweetheart, and indirectly killed the other's cousin, cousin, and grandmother. Pei Ji'an hated her, probably It's a very normal thing. But one yard is one yard, Pei Ji'an can take revenge on Li Chaoge, but he can't have sex with other women before reconciliation. Qin Ke had the mentality of spying on the enemy and asked, "What are you going to do after that?"
"Break it cleanly, and you will be a political enemy from now on." Li Chaoge said coldly, "He will seek whoever he likes. Anyway, I am not going to get married in this life. He and I are completely over."
Qin Ke was undoubtedly relieved, she was willing to let go, which couldn't be better. As long as Li Chaoge no longer insists on robbing Pei Ji'an, half of this deadlock will be solved, and Qin Ke will be able to complete the task earlier and return to the heaven. There are still many cases waiting for him in heaven, and Qin Ke doesn't want to stay in the world for too long.
Qin Ke's long sleeves fluttered in the wind, his black hair was like a waterfall, and his long sleeves fluttered like a fairy about to rise in the wind. He tilted his face slightly, and said to Li Chaoge: "After a hundred years, all beautiful faces will be dry bones, and love is nothing but vain. If you can let go of your attachments as soon as possible, it will be good for yourself and others."
Li Chaoge raised his eyebrows again, this person's voice was obviously very young, why was his tone so indifferent? It's not like a young man of this age, but like a monk who sees through the world.
Li Chaoge smiled, and deliberately asked: "Why do you say that after a hundred years, you will be dead bones? Could it be that you lived a hundred years?"
Qin Ke didn't answer anymore, he got the information he wanted, and there was no need to play house with Li Chaoge anymore. There was a breeze around him, blowing his long hair flying, and the mask was looming in the black hair. Li Chaoge realized that he was going to disappear again, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "Who are you? Are you really a fairy?"
Li Chaoge didn't wait for the answer, when suddenly a strong wind blew over the ground, making him unable to stand still. Li Chaoge couldn't help taking two steps back, covering her eyes, and when she put down her hand again, there was no one in front of her.
The forest was still deep and silent, with bottomless blackness, and the ground in front of it was neat and tidy, with no sign of strong wind at all.
he's gone.
Li Chaoge's shoulders loosened weakly, just like the time when he was twelve, he disappeared again. Two lives and deaths, fourteen years, she didn't even know his name.
Are there really immortals in this world
