Usnea anecdote

Xing Qi seemed to be avoiding himself.

This was discovered by Yu Li after two days of rest.

He disappeared early in the morning during the day, and he didn't know what to do at night, and he couldn't wait for him to return to his room to sleep all night.Thinking of what Xing Qi said when the two of them just woke up that day, Yu Li vaguely knew what Xing Qi was worried about. He was afraid that his health would deteriorate day by day, which would only increase Yu Li's harm in the end.For this kind of thing, you can't beat him on the head to force him to figure it out, you can only wait, wait for him to figure it out, wait for him to come to him.

The only change is that Xing Qi took out the jade fish that Yu Li gave him and tied it around his waist. Yu Li saw him touching the jade fish in a daze, as if he liked it very much. Something that gave Yu Li a little more confidence.

While comforting himself with this matter, Yu Li still fell into a state of great anxiety. He was afraid that Xing Qi would still not be able to figure it out, that his evil poison would really not be cured, and that his wishful thinking would come to naught... .

The sun was fine, Yu Li stayed alone in the yard, basking in the sun, looking at the flowers, the dead leaf lotus in the vat was still the same, but the small bud from before was a little longer and thicker, and the buds were still tightly closed Co-authored, without the slightest sign of opening up.

"Even you are not on my side..." Yu Li squatted in front of the tank, sighed softly, reached out to touch the flower buds, the sun made him drowsy, Xing Qi didn't know When did he come back, he simply turned into his original body, swam to the shade of lotus leaves and dozed off.

Sleeping until sunset, the red sunset covered half of the sky, Yu Li was so sleepy that his bones became lazy, he listened intently, but there was still no breath of Xing Qi, so he sank down again, he didn't even bother to transform into a human form, just slowly in the big Swim in circles in the tank.

All the beasts were on alert, and when the sunset was gone and the sky began to darken, Yu Li keenly sensed that someone was coming, it was Xing Qi!He jumped for joy and wanted to go out to meet him immediately, but then he felt another breath.

It's Lie Qing.

Could it be that the Yunlong Secret Realm has been closed?Yu Li was puzzled, but thinking of the awkwardness in his heart when Lie Qing came last time, he suddenly didn't want to go out, he wanted to see what Xing Qi was like when he was with others.

The water tank was big enough, and there was enough spirit stone mud. He quietly buried himself in the soft spirit stone mud, concealed his breath, and quietly waited for the two to come in.

He has lived in the water for a hundred years, and he has already practiced how to hide in the water. Now he is motionless. Just a lotus flower.

"...I got the news and came out immediately. The secret realm will be closed in a few days. How about it? Interesting enough!"

Lie Qing's triumphant voice came, looking very happy, Yu Li listened intently, not knowing what news he was talking about.

"Thank you very much this time..."

"Between you and me, why don't you say thank you!" Lie Qing interrupted Xing Qi: "Hey, where is the little demon cultivator I saw last time? Why isn't it here?"

Yu Li didn't expect him to ask about himself, and before he could think about it, he heard him say: "It's been so long, what's the matter? Huh? Last time, I saw someone's eyeballs wanting to stick to you." .”

If it was a human form, Yu Li's face should be red right now, is it so obvious?He was thinking silently, suddenly he was curious about how he treated Xing Qi, and how he looked in the eyes of outsiders?

Xing Qi didn't make a sound, but there were a few small sounds, which were the sound of things like pots and cups being placed on the stone table, and he should have sat down at the stone table under the tree.

"I'm about to tell you about this too, I told him, yes... yes..."

Xing Qi didn't say anything, but Lie Qing had already seen it from his distressed expression, and said in surprise: "Sleeping? Can't tell, Xing Qi, I really think you are a gentleman!"

"There is still Qi Gu, Lie Qing, Qi Gu is gone."

Yu Li was still shy, suddenly heard Qi Gu's name, and heard Xing Qi's extremely low and mournful voice, his heart also sank. For some reason, he intuitively felt that this matter should have something to do with him.

Lie Qing here also suppressed his joking expression, and asked, "What's going on?"

"Last time, I had a demon attack and lost my mind. I woke up Yu Li... and he had passed out. At this moment, Qi Gu came out. He said that in the battle a hundred years ago, he He blocked Li Potian's blow for me, and his spirit body shattered. Just when the sword fell into Yu Li's pool, a little of his soul was attached to Yu Li's body. I wanted to seize the body, but...but It was too weak to succeed, so I had to use Yu Li's body to preserve the last bit of consciousness. Yu Li said that he would dream of me, it was not a lie, it was Qi Gu who hinted at him and told him to come to me, but unfortunately, At that time, Yu Li didn't know me at all. Up to now, the stronger Yu Li is, the weaker Qi Gu is, he always wanted to see me again, so he forced his voice and told Yu Li to come to me."

After saying this long paragraph in one breath, Xing Qi was silent for a while, and then continued: "He is really too weak, Lie Qing, I really hate myself, even if I knew about it earlier, I wouldn't Let him disappear in front of me in vain. He has waited for so many years, thought of so many ways, but I don't know anything... Lie Qing, Qi Gu is the one who watched me..."

Xing Qi's voice was a little choked up, and Lie Qing seemed unable to believe that this was the case, so he stayed for a while before saying: "Xing Qi, you are not to blame for this matter, you...don't be too sad gone."

Having said that, Lie Qing actually knows that Qi Gu was forged by Xing Qi, and the sword spirit was slowly condensed after he swung the sword hundreds of millions of times, fought side by side countless times, accompanied by no one, everyone The tacit understanding of the unity of swords cannot be comforted by saying don't be too sad.

"Yu Li treated me so well, I actually... would feel that if he hadn't been able to discover Qi Gu's hint for so long, I wouldn't...I really... . " Xing Qi seemed to be about to collapse, and his speech became incoherent.

After a period of time, what Lie Qing said, and what Xing Qi said, Yu Li seemed to be unable to hear.

It turned out that it was so.

It turned out that I had killed Xing Qi's most important person in my ignorance!

And I still cling to others shamelessly, God knows how much Xing Qi already hates himself in his heart.

All internal organs were in severe pain, and it took an unknown amount of time before Yu Li was relieved from the dizzy pain.

"Qi Gu's soul, is it true that nothing is left behind?"

"There is still a bit like a wick, and I put it in this jade."

"What is this sculpture? Is it a fish? It's so ugly..." Lie Qing was speechless. After speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and immediately asked again: "Send it to you by Xiao Yaoxiu?"

"Ah."

...Yu Li couldn't listen anymore, no wonder he would hold the jade in a daze, but it turned out that it wasn't because of himself, but because he had taken Qi Gu's spirit into it.

Yu Li has never hated his incompetence so much. Qi Gu's disappearance and Xing Qi's pain all stem from his stupidity and incompetence. If he had noticed it earlier, if he had come to Xing Qi earlier, everything now would have been in vain. will not happen!

He quietly squeezed an invisibility formula, crawled out of the water tank in a panic, and ran outside.

He didn't have time to deal with the water stains brought out on the ground. He just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. He didn't even dare to look back at Xing Qi. Just listening to Xing Qi's words, he could already feel the pain. To share the pain I brought to Xing Qi.

"Who?!" Lie Qing and Xing Qi stood up at the same time, and shouted in the direction of Yu Li's departure. In a short while, Xing Qi had already realized what was going on. Thinking of what he had just said to Lie Qing, his heart immediately trembled. Shen, shouted: "Yu Li! Come back!"

Yu Liquan pretended not to hear, and ran out desperately, but Xing Qi and Lie Qing's cultivation was far above him, and they blocked him in an instant.

"Yu Li..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... woo woo woo... I'm sorry..." Yu Li backed away in a panic, and refused to look up at Xing Qi, almost screaming with shame and guilt. He breaks down.

He was crying miserably, Xing Qi wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't do it, because as long as he took a step closer, Yu Li would back away again and again, as if he was some kind of filthy thing, once Xing Qi got close, he would be stained.

"Xing Qi, let me come." Lie Qing winked at Xing Qi, signaling him to avoid it first, then walked forward and patted Yu Li on the shoulder. Yu Li did not dodge this time, but still kept his head down. Crying loudly, he refused to look at Xing Qi.

Xing Qi knew in his current state that he couldn't do anything, so he walked away a few steps and let Lie Qing talk with Yu Li.

Seeing that Xing Qi could no longer be seen, Yu Li's crying slowed down a bit, Lie Qing waited for him to calm down, and pulled him to sit on a stone in the forest.

"Little beauty, do you like Xing Qi very much?"

Yu Li didn't answer, just stared blankly at one place in a daze, tears kept falling, and choked up from time to time.

"Qi Gu is his sword spirit, and even his very important family member. You see, Xing Qi is so sad because you killed Qi Gu, isn't it?"

"I don't know...I didn't mean to, sorry..."

I'm sorry, Yu Li said it over and over again, but I still don't think it's enough, just talking about it, how can I make up for Xing Qi's loss?

"How much do you like Xing Qi?"

Yu Li didn't know why, so he raised his head to look at Lie Qing, Lie Qing's expression was indifferent, without any frivolity and exaggeration when they met for the first time.

How much do you like it?Yu Li recalled that Fengluo seemed to have asked himself the same question. At that time, he was full of joy and wanted to let Xing Qi know his heart and be with that person forever, but now, when he heard the same question, he didn't know what to say. What.

"Then, if there is a way to detoxify Xing Qi's body, are you willing to do it for him?"

"Yes!" Yu Li suddenly stood up, staring at Lie Qing with wide eyes: "Have you found a way to detoxify?"

Lie Qing nodded: "I caught Li Potian's old subordinate in Yunlong Secret Realm, that old fox Xin Lian, he said it himself."

"Tell me quickly! How do we do it?" Yu Li couldn't wait any longer, and couldn't help but hold onto Lie Qing's arm. Xing Qi has been troubled by demons and poison for many years. As long as there is a glimmer of hope right now, he is willing to give his life to Xing Qi. Qi Zheng came.

"Xing Qi's demon poison was originally congealed by the resentment of the demon cultivator he killed, and it was transformed by the unwillingness and anger of death in vain. Now I want your demon pill as a medicine primer for Xing Qi to eat. You You are a demon cultivator, and you are willing to detoxify Xing Qi. The resentment will naturally go to your demon core. After the demon core absorbs the resentment, you can take it out. But then, your demon core will be useless. In this way, you Would you like to?"

The demon pill is the root of demon cultivation, without the demon pill, Yu Li is just one of the thousands of ordinary carp, unable to cultivate, and has no mind, living in a daze, and dying in a daze.

Yu Li only hesitated for a moment, and then firmly said: "I am willing! If he wants it, I will give it to him..." After finishing speaking, his tone fell again, and he was silent for a while before saying to Lie Qing: " It's just... I want to say goodbye to my friend, can I? Soon, I told him that I'm going to travel outside, just tell him not to worry about me."

Lie Qing nodded, pondered for a moment, and said: "You don't want to tell Xing Qi about this, Qi Gu left suddenly, he is sad now, so don't bother him."

"I, I know, I know." Yu Li murmured, originally he agreed, and didn't intend to let Xing Qi know, since Qi Gu dissipated because of himself, then let himself pay Xing Qi's life stop.

"Then it's settled. Tomorrow, I'll go to Songluo Mountain to find you."

Yu Li nodded in a daze, stood up, and went down the mountain. Lie Qing stood there for a while, and when he could no longer see Yu Li, he slowly turned to look for Xing Qi.

"Where's Yu Li?" Xing Qi looked behind Lie Qing, but didn't look at the familiar figure.

"Going back to Songluo Mountain, he killed Qi Gu and said that he couldn't face you, so he had to go back and stay for a while." Lie Qing couldn't see anything strange on his face.

Xing Qi sighed, and murmured: "It's my fault, Qi Gu... Qi Gu didn't kill him, I just..." There was no sound again at this point, he It's just a pity, why couldn't Yu Li discover the clue earlier and come to him earlier?But it wasn't Yu Li's fault, Qi Gu was seriously injured, it was because he was not strong enough, he couldn't find Qi Gu in time, it was his incompetence, but he didn't ask indiscriminately, and pushed all the faults on an innocent person... ...

"No, I'm going to find him, Lie Qing, find a room to rest by yourself, I'll go to Songluo Mountain first." Xing Qi said that he was about to go down the mountain, but Lie Qing stopped him and persuaded: " Don't be in a hurry at this moment, you go back with me first, there is an antidote to your demon poison I mentioned earlier."

But Xing Qi still frowned and looked on the way down the mountain. Seeing him like this, Lie Qing simply dragged him to the bedroom.

"Did you find it in Yunlong's secret realm?"

"Well, the old fox was caught, and he took his puppet to the secret realm."

Xing Qi nodded slightly, not knowing what he thought of, smiled and said: "Now it seems that I don't want to die so much now, it's better to live."

"Haha!" Lie Qing laughed a few times, jokingly said, "Is it because of that little demon cultivator?"

"Well... Speaking of which, I don't think I've ever felt this way before. Seeing him happy makes me feel happy too. Seeing him cry makes me wish I could find all the treasures in the world and give him to coax him. He smiled. But until now, he has taken care of me more, and what I brought to him is full of pain. "

Xing Qi's face was sweet for a while, and lost for a while, Lie Qing was secretly surprised, thinking that he might have been a disservice this time, but to him, Xing Qi was a bosom friend, while Yu Li was just a confidant. He is just a little demon cultivator with two faces, if he had to choose between the two, he would definitely choose Xing Qi.Even if Yu Li is unwilling to save Xing Qi, he will try his best to coax him to agree.For more than a hundred years, he has really watched Xing Qi suffer for too long, and now there is a ready-made solution to the pain, no matter what, even if Xing Qi complains in the future, he will do it without hesitation.

He thought about it in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and agreed: "I thought that you would never be emotional in this life, but I didn't expect to fall on a demon cultivator."

"I didn't expect it myself." Xing Qi smiled bitterly, and said melancholy: "If it was before, why would I have thought so much, if I like it, I like it, and we are together, but now I am haunted by evil spirits, my cultivation is stagnant, and I almost lost control several times. After hurting him, I realized that I was so timid, afraid that I would not be able to give him what he wanted, and that I would make him sad if I died early..."

Lie Qing didn't know what he thought of, and his face was a little gloomy, but he quickly regained his senses and asked Xing Qi, "Xing Qi, if, I mean if, only Yu Li can cure your demon poison, but it will be a little dangerous. You can......"

"No!" Xing Qi interrupted Lie Qing: "How can I put him in danger? Lie Qing, what is the detoxification prescription? If something happens to Yu Li because he wants to help me detoxify, then I will be cured again." What is there to be happy about?"

"That's not necessarily the case, Xing Qi, there are so many beauties and talents in the colorful world outside, why stick to this one?"

Unexpectedly, Xing Qi smiled, glanced at the scar on Lie Qing's face, and asked: "Then you linger in the flowers and show mercy everywhere, why are you reluctant to even cover up this scar on your face?"

Now it was Lie Qing's turn to be speechless, and after a while he shook his head and said with a smile: "That's all, that's all, I can't tell you."

While talking, the two had already arrived in the courtyard of Xing Qi's bedroom, and sat down in front of the stone table. The wine was still there, but neither of them had the intention to continue drinking.

"The demon poison was originally the curse of the demon cultivator who died under your sword. It is actually easy to dissolve. Find a demon cultivator who is willing to detoxify you, take flesh and blood as medicine, and add some other antidote medicinal materials to refine it." It becomes a detoxifying medicine." After Lie Qing finished speaking, he threw a piece of paper to Xing Qi, the handwriting on it was scribbled, but it was still clear that there were several rare detoxifying herbs, and the dead leaf lotus seeds were among them.

Xing Qi had doubts on his face: "It's so simple?" After speaking, he remembered something, and said suddenly: "Then I felt better after eating Yu Li's blood before, is it also the reason?"

Lie Qing didn't know about this matter, he was stunned for a moment and immediately replied: "Yes, just take a little flesh and blood, it doesn't matter, I will accompany you to Songluo Mountain tomorrow, Yu Li will never die."

But Xing Qi still shook his head: "I always think it's not that simple, please allow me to think about it again." Seeing that it was late, he said to Lie Qing: "You are tired from running around all day, go and rest first. Go to Songluo Mountain, Yu Li is not proficient in Wind Control Technique yet, I'm afraid something will happen to him."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but Lie Qing hit him directly on the back of the neck. He never defended Lie Qing, and never thought that Lie Qing would sneak up on him from behind, no matter how high his cultivation was, he would be defeated Facing the sudden physical attack, his body softened and he fell backwards, just in time to be caught in Lie Qing's arms.

"Let me be a villain, and I will admit to being resented by you in the future, Xing Qi, I can't just watch you being exhausted by the evil poison and dying in vain. Offended."

Lie Qing murmured, picked up Xing Qi, put him on the bed in Xing Qi's room, and imposed several spells to restrain Xing Qi, making sure that Xing Qi could not move until he got Yu Li's inner alchemy back, and then gave Xing Qi Qi Gai finished the quilt, closed the door, and went to Songluo Mountain.
