I Am Your Father

All around, two powerful internal forces confronted each other in an invisible place, and the fallen leaves on the ground made a loud noise, being swirled by the undercurrent, and the two small figures not far away still didn't notice it at all.

"Let go—"

Before Li Zhi let out a roar, he suddenly felt his body lighten, and his internal force collapsed and flowed back, rushing him so that a mouthful of blood almost spewed out, but he was pulled up by Si Jie completely uncontrollably, and followed him around in the air a few times, away from the two The little figure is getting further and further away.

He landed on the ground with a thump, Li Zhi's chest was overwhelmed, and he turned his palm without hesitation, knowing that he was not Si Jie's opponent, but he wanted to sacrifice Feng Gui to fight him head-on.

"What do you know, a filthy Taoist with a decent face!"

Unsurprisingly, Feng Gui didn't move Si Jie at all, but Li Zhi still refused to give up, like a desperate leopard rushing forward, slashing with his palm, all the bamboo joints behind Si Jie were broken at the sound.

Si Jie didn't make a move at first, the frosty cloud robe echoed the emerald green bamboo forest, he stepped back step by step and only defended instead of attacking, until Li Zhi's surging anger was almost exhausted, then he suddenly took over Li Zhi and shot again Zhi's palm wind, the warm palm firmly clamped it, and suddenly went around backwards, retracting Li Zhi's hand from the front to the back.

"Why can't I control it?" Unexpectedly, his face was determined from the beginning to the end, and there was a little chill in his mouth, "Among you and me, who is meddling?"

"Bah!" He held Li Zhi's hand in his hands, and he spat and said, "You don't need to teach me that bluster!"

"I didn't teach you," Si Jie said coldly, "you don't need to restrain him either."

"You know what a fart!" Li Zhi was even more angry when he heard the words, "You are a smooth leader, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, aren't you bound?"

"The one who is affectionate and righteous will end badly. I want him to be as cold-blooded and ruthless as I am. Save the useless kindness in your heart as soon as possible to discipline your disciples!"

"..."

Si Jie's eyes moved suddenly, and he stared at Li Zhi's red eyes, which were bottomless for a moment.

After a long while, he finally said, "I didn't ask him to be kind. At his age, it's just that he has a natural sense of closeness to his peers. You don't have to be like a dog."

"Besides, how are you sure that I have good thoughts in my heart?"

16. Wooden man

Perhaps it was Si Jie's overly amiable eyes when he said the last sentence, like a giant beast hiding in the depths of the pool and surging at any time, through the dangerous mist, Li Zhi was stunned by his question unexpectedly.

"The rivers and lakes are not black and white, you and I know it well." He heard Si Jie continue to speak, and there seemed to be some meaning between the lines, but he didn't go further.Seeing that Li Zhi didn't seem to be going to make a move for a while, the force behind him suddenly loosened, looking at his slightly absent-minded eyes, he said, "He is just young, and he doesn't have much to do. , most of them are involuntary."

"..." Li Zhi suddenly raised his eyes, obviously he didn't expect him to say such a thing.

But after thinking about it, Li Zhi snorted coldly: "He is doing something that is in line with your principles. Of course you say that. Another day he kills people like grass, how can you say the same thing?"

After being silent for a while, Si Jie asked back: "What about you? Will you be happy one day?"

"..." Li Zhi paused for a moment when asked, and sneered, "What's wrong with me? I'm always this kind of person."

"No," Si Jie immediately replied firmly, "Then what I said will not change."

Li Zhi looked at him in surprise, meeting his still clear and spotless eyes, feeling confused in his heart, unable to figure out what Si Jie meant.

He just thought about it after calming down, and then suddenly remembered that the brat didn't often express his thoughts, and he never asked him for anything, and because of his hands and feet, no one of his age was willing to get close to him. In the past, he didn't mention a word, and just circled around his fierce father every day.Now I am afraid that I know that he is indeed his own, so I dare to pick someone up to the door of the house. I have been severely bullied, but I am still willing to share the food with the other party.

Is there also an element of loneliness in this?

Li Zhi's thoughts were a little vague, and he couldn't help but see Li Goudan squatting side by side with Li Erzhu under the eaves just now, and suddenly overlapped with the two figures leaning against him in his heart. He had to admit that, in fact, compared with anger, his heart More, it is a kind of sourness.

"I don't understand what you mean," quickly suppressing these emotions, Li Zhi said to Si Jie indifferently, "Even if I leave him alone, it doesn't mean I agree with your point of view."

After finishing speaking, Li Zhi turned around and wanted to go back, but when he moved, he realized that his arm was still being held by Si Jie, and Si Jie had no intention of letting go.

"Let go!" He slammed hard, cursing angrily, "Don't be a motherfucker, you won't even be able to harden your head—"

Before the words fell, the wind suddenly rang in Li Zhi's ears, and in a blink of an eye, he was pulled in front of him again by Si Jie. This time, the posture of the two was a little wretched, and only the bottom was tightly fitted together.

Li Zhi raised his head in astonishment, and faced the expressionless face of his boss Jie. I don't know if it was an illusion, which made him catch the fleeting blaze in his quiet eyes.

"..." Throat tightened, Li Zhi couldn't believe it and felt it for a while, and said dryly, "It can be hard, but you really held it in for too long, and you can't divide the time—"

"Every time I see you."

"what?"

Li Zhi was slightly surprised by Si Jie's sudden words, but his mouth hadn't closed yet, and the frightening touch was gone, Si Jie let him go lightly, looked at him and didn't say a word.

"..."

Li Zhi was at a loss for no reason when he looked at it. The strange thing is that he clearly didn't show any confidence this time, but Li Zhi still had a sense of weightlessness that was involved somewhere. Although it was very subtle, he was inexplicably panicked.

Instead of continuing to entangle with Si Jie, Li Zhi turned around and ran away quickly.

While running, I thought, not only is it hard, but also bigger than before, who wouldn't be tempted by this?

The cool breeze kept blowing past his ears, Li Zhi shuttled back vigorously all the way, picked up the yellowed leaves on the treetops, and flew down to the top of his disheveled head, until the temperature on his face was finally blown away, and he settled down comfortably again.

Deliberately making two noises, Li Zhi strode towards the door.

Li Erzhu didn't see Li Zhi very often, and he hadn't come out of the trance of losing his parents at this moment, but he didn't react much, he raised his head straightly, and then didn't move again.

But Li Goudan got up immediately, his legs should be numb from squatting, he staggered a few times, seeing Li Zhi pass him directly into the room with an unkind expression, he hurriedly followed.

Li Zhi sat on the kang with his buttocks, one leg crossed, and he folded his arms and said nothing.

Li Goudan looked up at his angry appearance, knowing that he was unhappy, put his little hands behind his back, didn't speak, and faced him silently, only the fingertips clenched behind his back revealed his inner uneasiness.

After waiting for a long time, Li Zhi couldn't help squinting at him, and finally spoke first.

Opening his mouth, he said, "Brat, you have candied haws, why don't you give them to me first?"

"..." Li Goudan blinked in surprise as his gloomy eyes flickered, obviously he didn't expect this to be Li Zhiqi.

"Come here and show me how many are left." He listened sharply and said again.

The little hand behind Li Goudan stretched out subconsciously, and there was still a candied haws on the candied haws stick that he had been holding tightly.

"you--"

Just as Li Zhi was about to scold him, Li Goudan turned his head and ran to the stove, took the paper bag from above, and after opening it, there was another untouched string inside.

"The Taoist priest bought both for me and my father." He said quickly, and tremblingly handed it to Li Zhi.

"..." Li Zhi choked a little, "Oh."

After receiving it, Li Zhi bit down one with a depressed mouthful. Seeing Li Goudan's gaze wandering out of the door again, he thought for a while and walked out.

"Li Erzhu," Li Zhi poked the person squatting at the door with his toe, "where did you go the night before?"

When his parents died tragically on the bed, they really didn't see him in the house.

Seeing that Li Erzhu's consciousness still seemed unclear, Li Zhi asked him for a long time before he curled up and said, "There is a ghost..."

Li Zhi frowned, and said honestly that the ghost you saw was not me. Seeing Li Erzhu at this time, he must have thought of some terrible picture, and he curled up even tighter. His body, which was twice stronger than Li Goudan, curled up into a ball , his head sank into the bend of his legs, revealing a thin red rope around his neck.

Li Zhi saw a corner of the object hanging on the string with a sharp eye, and pulled it out with a sudden move.

Sure enough, hanging on it were two small wooden figures less than half a foot long and relatively well-carved.

Li Erzhu raised his head, the blankness in his eyes revealed that it was not his property, he didn't even know when it was hung around his neck, but Li Zhi couldn't pay attention to him at this moment.

Because he slowly stroked the familiar shape of the wooden figure in his palm, he had already confirmed in his heart that the one who killed Li Erzhu's parents should indeed be related to the Jiuji Sect.

"Senior Li, do you recognize this thing?"

Suddenly, the voice behind him sent chills down Li Zhi's spine, and when he turned around, what caught his eyes was still the purple gourd on the other's waist.

It was the song Liu of the divine wine again.

Li Zhi realized almost instantly that Qu Liu deliberately let Li Erzhu run around with the little wooden figure, and he followed Li Erzhu all the way, just to see who was interested in that thing.

Obviously, he also inquired about every household in the village in the past two days before he could directly call out Li Zhi's surname.

"I haven't seen it before," Li Zhi said without hesitation, shaking the little wooden figure towards Qu Liu's eyes curiously, "Is it used to ward off evil spirits?"

"No." Qu Liu looked at Li Zhi for a moment, didn't see any flaws on Li Zhi's face, and shook his head seriously.

"This is the night that the Li family couple was murdered, the murderer
