The beginning of the catastrophe

"Chapter Twenty Two"

After returning to Qingqiu, life returned to the usual tranquility.

As the successor emperor, Ye Hua was summoned back to heaven to deal with an important matter right after he came back. He only had time to tell Tuanzi about his daily homework before he was hurriedly urged away by the immortal attendant.

It seems that the demon world is in turmoil, and the traces seem to be signs of elders of the ghost clan behind it.

With Ghost Li present, Fox Cave finally got rid of the miserable situation of eating fruit every day, and there is no need to recruit Fengjiu to come back to make a bad marriage.Bai Qian is very satisfied with the status quo that she doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and sleeps peacefully day and night, and she also gets closer to Gui Li.

Although she sensed Ye Hua's thoughts, she didn't intend to help.Ye Hua is the crown prince chosen by fate, and Gui Li is the king of ghosts under one person of the ghost clan. If the two of them intend to, it is impossible for the two of them to be concubines like ordinary women with the status of ghosts, and the marriage contract of Qingqiu of the heavenly clan can't be broken easily. What's more, the Celestial Clan has never had a precedent for a man to be the heir, and the emperor will definitely not allow Ye Hua to act recklessly.

Bai Qian's fox eyes flickered, Gui Li's mind was as difficult to distinguish from Ye Hua's, and she couldn't tell whether he had intentions for Ye Hua, now, she could only look at the flowers through the clouds, pretending not to know.

But without Ye Hua, the study room became Tuanzi's temporary classroom.

On the square table directly opposite the door is a celadon-bottomed glazed flower vase, but no flower branches, and a plate of squirrel-shaped peach cake next to it is really gratifying. Looking to the left, there is a neat stack of them on the desktop where Yehua handles paperwork every day. plain paper.Tuanzi has a dignified face, a dragon-carved jade pen in his hand, and the strength of his wrist is moderate, but he is young and weak, and his wrist strength is ultimately insufficient. After a while, the brush is already trembling slightly.

Gui Li stood behind him, concentrating, saw that his forehead was sweating, leaned over, wrapped his little hand with his right hand, "Relax, follow me, feel the point of strength."

He led the tuanzi stroke by stroke, slowly and steadily,

"One flower, one world, one leaf, one bodhisattva"

The ink color is dripping and undisturbed, the character is proud, and the brush strokes are drawn horizontally and sharply. Although it is the words of the Buddha, it does not see the meaning of the Buddha.

He let go and said lightly,

"Do you feel it?"

Tuanzi nodded, and was about to draw a pen when he pressed him down.

At some point, Gui Li took a plain silk handkerchief from his hand, carefully wiped off the perspiration on his forehead, "Take a break."

Tuanzi tilted his head and smiled at him.

"kindness."

hesitate again,

"Why did you write this sentence?"

Gui Li looked at him in amazement, then understood in a flash, his eyes showed admiration,

"You want to ask me, since I have no intention of coming here, why do I read the Buddha's words?"

Tuanzi nodded,

"Father once taught me that there is no way in my heart not to force it."

Gui Li thought for a moment, knocked on the red sandalwood table under his hand, and said softly,

"Your father's words are naturally good, but you have limited his meaning. The so-called Tathagata does not refer to the lineage of the Western Heaven, such as this small-leaf red sandalwood. Although there are more in Funan, it is not the only one."

"If there is a slight error between the five elements, it will make a huge difference in the end when they become talented in a hundred years, and outside the three realms, they are all Buddha lands."

Tuanzi seemed to understand, but Gui Li didn't say anything more.

After a long time, when Ye Hua learned what he said, he deliberately raised the topic to ask,

"Since you realized that what I said was wrong, why didn't you tell him that day?"

Gui Li was using his finger to tease the young civet cat who was found by the people below to make Tuanzi happy, he didn't care if his finger was bitten, he looked up at him, "The Buddhas of the Western Paradise are not completely clean, what Yuanshi Tianzun taught you, don't you May he learn about it as early as you, since I know you intend to be vague, how can you expose it and tell it."

Ye Hua reached out to hug him, and sighed,

"You always think that the responsibility is inescapable. Is it because he is my son that it is inconvenient to say it?"

Gui Li frowned and looked towards the direction where the civet was frightened and fleeing, he didn't bother to catch it anymore,

"Not necessarily. At that time, I also felt sorry for him. How could I be willing to say so?"

He pushed Ye Hua away and went straight back to the house with a cool voice,

"The civet was caught by the killing monk who surrounded Liubo Mountain for three whole days. Tuanzi clamored to come to be a spiritual pet. Now you scare it away. You can find it for him yourself."

Ye Hua laughed, the civet was obviously getting impatient with him, so it's his own fault?

He had no choice but to obediently turn around and catch the civet.

……

On the back mountain of Qingqiu, jagged silhouettes landed on the ground, ghostly soft silk blouse, standing against the light, eyelashes like ink, leisurely and coldly, the man in front of him who was dressed up bowed and saluted, "Master, the demon emperor has sent news, ten The elder indeed sent his son Cang Lan to contact him a few days ago."

Gui Li stretched out his hand and took a green leaf from between the branches,

"He has his own movements. If the ghost king blames him, it's not my fault."

"whoosh"

Green leaves shot out steadily from between his fingers, hitting a violet plant ten feet away,

"Cang Lan is domineering by nature, accidents in the ghost world are inevitable."

man awe-inspiring,

"My subordinate understands."

Gui Li lowered his gaze,

"Go."

……

Seven or eight days later, Migu dozed off among the branches, still thinking about seeing the ghost clan coming to ask to see Ghost Li, and the last time the fourth young master came back and mentioned that a young elder in the ghost clan's elder seat died outside However, for some reason, the elders didn't say anything at all, instead, the ghost king led a new round of military leadership missions, and became even more powerful in the two worlds of ghosts and demons.

And Ye Hua in the Heavenly Palace had just sent away the Demon Emperor, his pupils were frosted, and he fell straight to the 33rd heaven.

Tuanzi clings to Ghost Li day after day, like a little tail, stays in his room during the day and asks him to teach him to read poetry or play chess, and occasionally fishes in the lake outside with Bai Qian on his back.At night, I would hang out with him in the market, and if I went early, I would stop by the forest to hunt some game or just pick some fruits.Qingqiu is not a place where rare beasts gather, and ordinary beasts are not all intelligent. Guili picks them carefully and knows how to match them to make a good taste. With a small belly in a circle, someone accompanied him, and he didn't worry about when his father would come back, so he settled down in the fox cave.

Speaking of which, since Ye Hua was not around, the person who urged Tuanzi to study should be Bai Qian, but Bai Qian herself was too lazy, Ye Hua didn't count on her at all.Tuanzi was obsessed with Ghost Li, this task naturally fell on him.

Although the lotus leaves do not touch the sky, the lotus flowers also reflect the sun. It is hotter in June, and the sun is gradually shrunk under the high clouds, and the heat is still unstoppable.Chen read crisply in the study, Gui Li secretly used celestial power to cool off the heat, and Tuanzi didn't feel the heat.

Gui Li is extremely strict with Tuanzi's homework, even stricter than Yehua himself, but Tuanzi has no complaints, and he is not like he used to play tricks in front of his father. Fortunately, he is talented and doesn't feel too tired.With such efforts, when Ye Hua came back to inspect Tuanzi's homework, he naturally got unexpected results. After a few rare compliments, Tuanzi became even more proud, and the clingy Ghost Li became more and more clingy. He is a serious future emperor. Afterwards, I disappeared all day long, but showed up diligently when it was time for dinner.

This day Ye Hua came back suddenly, after the school exam, Tuanzi took the newly obtained Seven Heart Grass to study, leaving Ye Hua and Gui Li in the room silently.

Not long after, Ye Hua collected all the books on the case and uttered gossip,

"Since the demon emperor Jun abdicated, the demon world has always been peaceful, but now that the Golden Crow has succeeded to the throne, it seems that his ambitions are endless."

Gui Li's eyes flashed,

"The first-class ancient gods, Donghuang, are gone now except Donghua Shenjun. It is normal for the monster clan to have a heart."

Ye Hua fixed her gaze,

"Regardless of the affairs of the clan, all walks of life are clearly separated so that the world will not be chaotic."

The two looked at each other, Guili said,

"It's just for communication. Besides, the demon world belongs to the ghost world, so it's just old-fashioned contacts."

Ye Hua pinched the center of her brows, and simply pointed out,

"Li Jing is suspicious, the Golden Crow is cunning, and the Ghost King teaches that if you want to be an oriole, you must be cautious before hunting."

Gui Li's eyebrows twitched, he didn't expect him to be so straightforward, and he covered up,

"My ghost king sect has such thoughts, I need to go back and ask carefully."

Seeing him turn around, Ye Hua's face was pale, and she spoke without any temptation.

"Ghost Li, what exactly are you doing in Qingqiu?"

The folds of the black clothes froze for a moment, Gui Li's lacquered pupils changed rapidly and was suppressed again, "It's not like the prince's usual style to be so straightforward..."

Ye Hua didn't make a sound, and slightly played with a round amber in his hand.

Gui Li's heart is complicated, Ye Hua's question like this is like putting Hei Zi on his own side, and he goes first, avoiding the important points, or telling the whole story.

Did he actually choose to believe in himself...

"I came to Qingqiu to find medicine, but the dispute between the Ghost King Sect and the Elders' Seat is becoming more and more incompatible. I expect there will be some movement while I am not in the Sect, so I intend to take this opportunity to clean up some minions."

"Is it okay to use me to increase chips to stimulate the Demon Emperor?"

Ghostly suddenly,

"The demon emperor, went to find you?"

Ye Hua let out a "hmm", and saw the man turn around again, his eyes were clear,

"I intend to take advantage of your power to control and balance the demon world. In theory, it is my dishonesty. If you blame me, I have nothing to say."

He said it eloquently.

Ye Hua couldn't laugh or cry, put down the jade in his hand,

"You know that Jinwu will not easily believe in the so-called friendship, and you will definitely test me from the sky. Since you have my cooperation, how can you use the word."

Gui Li shook his head,

"Golden Crow thinks a lot, but he is not as good as his father. I expected that he would not dare to ask you to verify the authenticity."

Ye Hua frowned, remembering that Jin Wu's conversation was testing whether Gui Li and himself had feelings, and then loosened, "I think this time the news is too unexpected, he couldn't bear to ask."

Gui Li thought about it, the friendship between the ghost king and the prince of the heavenly clan was indeed a little unexpected, so he took it for granted.Unexpectedly, Ye Hua spoke again, "Ghost Li, is that really the only reason you came here?"

Gui Li didn't know what he was talking about, but it was nothing more than looking for medicine or suppressing it, his heart beat, "It's true."

Ye Hua pushed open the door,

"Then I will believe you."

An inch of sunlight fell like gold, Gui Li stepped forward, and there was no trace of Ye Hua outside the house.

That night in the human world, Ye Hua and Gui Li didn't mention it again, they both acted as if nothing happened.Tuanzi couldn't find the jade pendant and made a fuss early the next morning, but Ye Hua calmly said "Keep it so you don't lose it" and stuffed a glass bracelet that is more beneficial to his immortal body, and just dismissed it.

A father's life is like a mountain, even if it is a protoss.Tuanzi curled his mouth and said nothing more.

……

The night market turned into a threesome again, and finally on the night of the second full moon, I met Magic Fox again.

Standing under the peach blossom tree, the woman with vicissitudes of life has a soft face and silver hair like a high-quality ice shark, and there is no trace of fox confusion around her.In her eyes is a stream of water that can break the world, but her voice is extremely old, "I heard that the fairy is looking for me, what do you want?"

Ye Hua didn't reply, Gui Li took a step forward, cupped his hands and said,

"I don't know if there is any phantom spirit grass in your hand?"

Only then did the woman look at Gui Li, her brows furrowed imperceptibly,

"You smell a little strange."

Huanhu was born with the ability to perceive people's hearts. It is not surprising that Huanhu, who has cultivated for tens of thousands of years, can see through Ghost Li's identity, but breath?

Ye Hua frowned slowly, Huanhu's words were a bit unusual.

This question is not within Gui Li's expectation, and it is inconvenient for him to ask more at this time.He speculates about his situation, the mortal turned into a ghost clan, coupled with the Dao Qi of the cultivator and the demonic Qi of the Demon Cult, the breath is already there, what the magic fox is saying now may be due to the complicated and complicated contact with him recently.

He collected himself and spoke,

"Your Majesty?"

The woman didn't reply, just smiled slightly,

"I have a phantom spirit grass in my hand. I condensed it with my immortal power 5 years ago, and it took 3 years to mature."

After getting an affirmative answer, Gui Li heaved a sigh of relief, no matter what the phantom fox wanted, he would definitely find it in exchange for this phantom spirit grass, "I know the value of phantom spirit grass, please tell me directly if you have any requirements."

Huanhu didn't reply, her eyes turned silver, the aura of the two people was so similar, it was just too vague.But in a moment, Gui Li Yehua was covered by her eyes all over her body.Suddenly, after passing through a part of Ye Hua's body, there was a vibration.The silver in Huanhu's eyes suddenly disappeared, and a drop of blood fell from her fingertips in her sleeve, her complexion remained unchanged, and no one noticed.

Silently looking at the three people on the opposite side, she suddenly opened her mouth,

"I want a drop of heart and blood from you and Prince Yehua."

Ye Hua and him?

"Your Excellency, this is my own business and has nothing to do with him."

Gui Li's voice became slightly lower.

The woman remained silent, and the atmosphere was somewhat stagnant.

During the stalemate, Ye Hua's fingertips flashed with golden light, pierced her chest, and a drop of golden-red blood floated out in the shape of falling drops, until the eyes of the phantom fox, where the powerful spiritual power was suppressed, and her blood pressure immediately oppressed her breathing tightly.The dumpling next to him exclaimed a little, "Father!"

Ye Hua looked at Gui Li with indifferent eyes,

"Take blood, isn't she very important to you?"

……

Raising her bare hands lightly, the woman's figure turned into green smoke and disappeared.

The essence and blood in the heart are no different than others, and there is a trace of soul in it.For the Dragon Clan, that is equivalent to 5000 years of cultivation. For Ghost Li, the loss of heart essence and blood has also caused his strength to drop by nearly [-]%, and he will not be able to return to the peak within a month at least. If someone of the same level comes at this time Sneak attack, or just like the puppet of that day, although he will not die, serious injuries are unavoidable.

After leaving the enchantment of the phantom fox, the sky is already bright.Ye Hua's back was even colder than usual, and Tuanzi followed behind them without saying a word.Gui Li's heart was complicated and unspeakable, this matter had nothing to do with Ye Hua, but it caused him to lose his cultivation for a thousand years, and the last sentence just now fell into his ears for no reason.

It's like, he's jealous.

Shaking his head, now is not the time to think about this.He is currently in an extremely weak state, and he can't return to the ghost clan right now, so he can only call someone to bring back this phantom spirit grass. He only hopes that after such twists and turns, and all kinds of causes and effects, it can be as he wants.
