Lingyin Gossip

The boy-faced, white-haired man paced and walked alone, full of thoughts, and the passersby greeted him respectfully one by one.Qi Baihe, however, was a little lost in his thoughts and didn't want to answer.After so many years of hard work...but still can't get over that hurdle.

Becoming a demon master is a cruel choice, Li, Dai, Xuan, Cang, Chi, Jin.There are six levels of cultivation, and the three levels of Earth Emperor and Heaven.The first three stages of practice can prolong life and live a long life, but after all, you are a mortal body and still cannot escape reincarnation.If you can practice this golden sky, you can ascend to the sky, get rid of the suffering of samsara and live the same life as the heaven and the earth, transcend human relations and become an "immortal teacher" in the eyes of mortals.But once you start cultivating to the sky, you can form souls into pills, and your lifespan will increase exponentially... If you practice with soul pills, once you can't move forward, your lifespan will expire.It's just that the soul is scattered, and its dominance makes many people willing to stay at Daitian's cultivation level and not want to take risks.

After all, there are only a handful of people who can ascend to immortality, but there are still some people who are willing to take risks to obtain extraordinary abilities, status and longevity.

However, Qi Baihe's lifespan is approaching, but his cultivation is stuck at the Golden Emperor and he is stagnant.As the head of the demon slayer sect, there are too many complicated things, Qi Baihe has already planned to spread the headship as soon as possible, and study how to break through this number.

Qi Baihe came to the door of the magnificent and magnificent hall and suddenly stood in front of the door. Although the other party was hiding very well, but after all, he was also the Golden Emperor's cultivation level, and he could still feel the fluctuation of spiritual power in this room.

Turning his eyes, he basically understood it in his heart, Qi Baihe raised his hand and opened the door to take a look. As expected, the man in the hall was sitting leisurely playing chess with him.I was startled that I only felt one person but didn't notice the other one present, Qi Baihe was relieved after he fixed his eyes and recognized the other person's identity.

"It's been a long time, Sister Gu Xi, you're so elegant, why did you think of playing chess with me? I'll keep the reply you wrote to me earlier, don't come here to regret it."

Gu Xi has already played with Zisang a few times back and forth, but he is not angry if he loses more and wins less. Seeing Qi Baihe coming, he put down the chess pieces at his fingertips, and seeing Qi Baihe's childlike face and white hair with a bone-like fairy look towards him Salute, the corners of the mouth slightly raised:

"Hey, if you salute me like a grandpa, you won't be afraid of offending me."

"It can't be folded, it can't be folded, if I don't give you a salute, I'm afraid that my life, which doesn't have a few years left, will be reduced again."

"It's been a long time since I haven't seen you, you stupid boy, how have you learned to rely on your mouth, sit down. Don't play with those hypocrites, I am not your head now, you are also the head of a sect. Don't forget about your seniority."

Gu Xi's casual tone revealed a trace of imperceptible sadness, Qi Baihe sighed slightly:

"But you will always be my elder sister, won't you?"

Gu Xi paused while drinking tea, and smiled wryly: "If you really want to be so serious, the position of my great apprentice and the head of the sect was originally owned by others."

Seeing Gu Xi's expression, Zisang felt a little dazzling, reached out to take the tea that was placed on the other's lips, poured it casually, made another pot of new tea, filled the cup and handed it over:

"Don't drink the tea when it's cold."

Only then did Qi Baihe take a straight look at Zisang, the emotions in his eyes were a bit complicated, he seemed to know that there were thousands of words that were useless and he couldn't say them, and after a few moments of thought, he smiled and said:

"Sister Gu Xi can't make things difficult for me, junior brother. Since you also called me the master, but you brought a demon master as a guest in my hall of Demon Slaughter Sect...is it appropriate?"

Zi Sang originally thought that he was going to pretend he hadn't seen him, but he heard that Qi Baihe dared to mention it.He glanced at him coldly, Qi Baihe deserved to be the master of the sect for so long, his eyes were relatively blank, without flinching.

How could Gu Xi not see the undercurrent between the two, just poured a cup of tea for Zisang:

"Zi Sang is my soul contract envoy."

Hearing the word "soul contract envoy", even Qi Baihe, who had always looked calm, was dimmed.

"Master, please don't embarrass me."

Seeing Qi Baihe's unnatural expression, Gu Xi knew that the other party seemed to have something to discuss with him, so he compromised and gave in, letting Zisang return to the ancient seal on his neck.Zisang didn't say much and obeyed.

At this time, only Gu Xi and Qi Baihe were sitting opposite each other in the hall, and the table between them was filled with fragrant tea.Gu Xi saw that after Zisang left, Qi Baihe still had no intention of speaking, but frowned as if thinking.

"Why are you so bothered? About the succession of the master?"

"Sister Gu Xi's sudden visit this time is not just for the simple purpose of reminiscing about the old days. If the past can continue, you don't have to wait for so many years. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Gu Xi knew in his heart that both of them had something to ask for and the other side also had something to ask for, so they could just cut to the chase and negotiate.And no longer go around in circles:

"I want the Xu Yin cauldron in your gate."

"This Xuyin Cauldron is something that I spent a lot of effort to let the head of the Demon Refining Sect refine it for the purpose of suppressing evil. The right time, place, and people are indispensable. There is no second one in the world. I plan to pass it on from now on to the heads of the generations. go down..."

Gu Xi interrupted Qi Baihe who continued to talk.

"Come on, I will abide by what I promised you before and help your great-granddaughter Qi Baiyi to be the head of the sect. I am not a pure and fearless person. Big. Let your great-granddaughter tell you the truth. You know very well in your heart that she has good qualifications, but it’s too late. I can’t figure out how you can let such a qualified person come from your blood. It's just mediocre ability. But since you are forced to come to me, you also know that no matter how good your aptitude is, you have no ability to let her who learned so late make any breakthrough. What's more, she is still capable enough to be the leader. You don't have time to boiled."

Qi Baihe was not surprised when he heard Gu Xi say that. Gu Xi is really too shrewd. He didn't expect him to fool her at all. .

"I'll call you Eldest Sister, you can afford it, if you are willing to accept her as an apprentice, I will hand over this Xuyin Cauldron."

"I can't take it."

Hearing this, Qi Baihe looked back at Gu Xi in disbelief:

"I know that there can only be one direct disciple. Qi Baiyi has good aptitude. If you accept her as a direct disciple, she will have your blood mark and with your ability...you will be able to train her well. , now you are the only one left, even if she inherits the sect of demon slayers from now on, she will eventually have a chance to rehabilitate our sect of demon masters. The disciples of demon masters who died back then were also disappointed The demon can no longer use any methods of controlling demons, and you are the only one left. Could it be possible that the sect of demon masters is really willing to disappear? You... don't you... still have the blood mark of that demon girl?"

Qi Baihe was still persuading Gu Xi, but when he saw that her expression was wrong, he suddenly realized, and immediately became angry and furious.With unbelievable pressure, Gu Xi lowered his head not to look at the shock in Qi Baihe's eyes, and unconsciously stretched out his hand to touch the blood mark on the back of his neck.He pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Gu Xi! That demon girl hurt you so badly! She ruined my sect and made you half-human and not a demon now. She is now the lord of the demon world. For such a villain, you still have her personal biography! ? What on earth are you thinking?!"

Gu Xi just remained silent, letting Qi Baihe's reprimand and accusation filled with righteous indignation remain indifferent.

Qi Baihe vented for a while and saw that Gu Xi didn't respond and gradually calmed down, his hands were shaking a little, he poured himself a few cups of tea and drank it vigorously, and sat down a little out of breath.

"Okay, this is your business, I can't control it, or you can tell me where the master is, now I can't wait anymore, I have been stagnant in the Golden Emperor, so many years of practice are finally wiped out like this, I am not reconciled , the only person who can know about Feisheng Master is Master, you are his direct disciple, you must be able to sense where he is. If you tell me, I will give you the Xuyin Cauldron."

"I do not know."

"Elder Sister!! I beg you to be my Junior Brother. I don't have time and no other way, otherwise I won't be forced to bother you."

"I have already sealed the master's blood seal. I will not go to see him nor let him find me until I... have transformed this Ten Thousand Demon Pill, returned to 'human' to solve everything, and compensated for all karmic sins. "

Seeing Gu Xi's unwavering tone, Qi Baihe sighed as if he had resigned himself to his fate:

"Xu Yinding is only passed on to be the head. If you really want to, let that child Qi Baiyi be the head and let her win you over. To tell you the truth, my descendants are all mediocre in aptitude and can cultivate to the third stage." There are very few Xuanbits, so I don't let them take the risk of soul-binding pills. When the time comes, it will be reincarnated. Qi Baiyi, the great-granddaughter... I only knew of her existence when the children were 15 years old.

Yi'er's mother is also a rare demon slayer with good cultivation, but she fell in love with an exorcist in the west, and went to the west regardless of opposition.Yi'er's father died during a mission, and her mother took her back to the Demon Slayer's Gate. After bringing the child back, her mother disappeared not long after.Yi'er was already 15 years old when she came into contact with everything in the world of demon masters, and 15 years old is already the time for the examination of ordinary demon master disciples.

I always feel that as her great-grandfather, I owe her a lot.In fact, her blood is not pure, and she is half entangled with the blood of the exorcist. Although her status in the sect looks bright on the surface, she is also ugly in private.The child seems to be strong for so many years, and no friend has worked harder and improved faster than others. I have made too many wrong decisions in my life, and I am sorry for too many people.I feel that I can't escape the end of being wiped out this time.After all, we are in the same family, so even if you can't accept her as a personal heir, please take good care of her for me.I want to give this class of killing monsters to her. "

Such a white-haired person speaks with the sadness of time wasted.During the period, Gu Xi had been listening quietly without interrupting, but after he finished speaking, he was rarely perfunctory.

"I know, no matter when you 'leave', I will promise you that the next head of the Demon Killing Sect will be Qi Baiyi and only her. The contract I promised you before is still there, I won't Break the contract."

Maybe it was moved by the prayers of the little junior brother who I watched growing up, or maybe it was the familiarity with Qi Baiyi's life experience, but no matter which one Gu Xi wanted to take over in the end, it was That Xu Yin tripod.

After hearing Gu Xi's personal answer, Qi Baihe breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Baihe looked at Gu Xi who had never changed his face for so many years, as if time was passing and she was the only one who stayed where she was.As if how the world changes has nothing to do with her, she knows exactly what she wants.

"Sister Gu Xi, you don't need to feel indebted. You don't owe anyone. No one blames you. We all know that it doesn't matter to you. It's just that when it happened, everyone was shocked by the sudden disaster. You were so frightened that you used all your words to defend against crimes imposed on you by the outside world. No one blames you afterwards.

It is said that there is a grievance and a debtor. We all know what the demon girl did.In fact, everyone envied you very much. At the beginning, everyone was either backlashed by their own contracted demon spirits, or killed the out-of-control contracted object with their own hands. In the end, everyone's hearts were filled with demons, and they could no longer touch the demon control method. Forget it, and then the Demon Masters Association ordered that demon spirits should no longer be controlled.I just organized the rest of the people to create this demon-killing gate, but now those who know the truth of the year, except the one recorded by the Demon Master Association, are also at the end of their lives and leave with regret.

Only you, even if you resisted the Demon Masters Association, you still took all the contracted demon spirits away.We envy you and thank you.I owe you an apology.When that witch betrayed you, our accusation and shirk also made you feel cold, sorry.We are too cowardly.I don't want the Demon Master Sect to be just a legend in the future. Although there may not be many people who still remember you, you will always be the head of the Demon Master Sect in my heart and will always be my senior sister. "

Qi Baihe felt that what he said in the past 100 years was not as much as today. The appearance of Gu Xi seemed to bring out an era and a story of the past. She was the one who stayed in time and stories, and he was the one who watched The people of her story.Qi Baihe had a premonition in his heart that this was the last time the two of them met. After talking a lot, there would be no chance.

Gu Xi got up to leave, but stopped when he passed by Qi Baihe, and stretched out his hand to rub the white hair on his head. At Qi Baihe's age, Gu Xi rubbed his head, and suddenly burst into tears , in front of her, he was still a child from beginning to end, and he was still that stupid child who timidly called her "big sister" and blushed from embarrassment when she rubbed his head.

When Gu Xi stepped out of the door, he tilted his head and said softly:

"I understand what happened back then, but Yinyin is my direct disciple after all, and I have to be responsible for what she does. Every year at the end of autumn, Master will go to Donghua Island in the extreme north to visit the grave of the elder brother. You can go to the grave of the elder brother Wait. Maybe you can meet him. If you meet the master, apologize to him for me, I failed to keep the responsibility he gave me. Tell him to wait, and apologize to him personally when I solve everything."

Before Qi Baihe could respond to Gu Xi, he closed the door and left. The silver-haired boy with the temperament of a sect master appeared in his mind, blushing and crying like a child calling himself senior sister. From the beginning of the negotiation to the Later, he apologized while begging himself.The corners of his mouth slightly curved unconsciously, and many things in his heart were relieved.

Gu Xi made a random move, and the black cat appeared out of nowhere and swished over. Gu Xi skillfully reached out to catch it. It was rare for Mo Yi to see that Gu Xi seemed to be in a good mood, and also mentioned that Gu Xi was happy and meowing. greasy screamed.

Zisang, who was dressed in red, stood beside Gu Xi in the setting sun, and accompanied him in a tacit understanding.As if never left.

Gu Xi caressed the coquettish Mo Yi in his arms, and took a last look at the splendid hall behind him, where the plaque that originally said [Demon Controlling Gate] has now been replaced by [Demon Killing Gate]. Then there is myself, there is no scene where demon masters and demon spirits coexist harmoniously in this gate, this place... is no longer the familiar place.

"Zi Sang, Mo Yi."

"Ok?"

"Meow?"

"Let's go home."

"it is good."

"Meow~!"

There is a continuous drizzle in the air. On both sides are antique tile-brick mahogany houses standing in the gap between the times. The willow trees sway with the wind in the drizzle. The figure is enchanting and has a special flavor. The green moss color on the small bridge and the bluestone roadside seems to drip juice Come Nongyun.

The house in the corner of this sparsely populated alley is still lit with lanterns in broad daylight, and the candles in the lanterns become more and more cheerful as people approach.

The four characters "Lingxi Yinjia" on the plaque were yellowed by the candlelight.

"Ah! Sister Gu Xi, come back~! Haha and Mo Yi! Hey, sister Zisang!"

"Well, I'm back."

I'm back, I'm home.
