Chapter 402: Qiqi, this is the real me
Hua Duxiu looked around vigilantly and whispered, "Qiqi, you can investigate again and make sure there is no one around us." β
Ding Qiqi said: "No need to investigate, the appearance of safflower just now was an accident, and now there are only all kinds of small insects within twenty zhang around us, as well as two hares, a weasel, five chickadees, and absolutely no one." β
Hua Duxiu: "...... All right. β
Young Master Hua's expression became serious, and he looked at Ding Qiqi and said, "Actually, I'm a ...... Someone infected by demonic energy!"
Ding Qiqi was stunned: "What do you mean by being infected by demonic energy?"
Hua Duxiu said, "Do you remember those people who besieged Changchun Venerable with strange black flames? Essentially, I am the same as them, but in a different way and to a different degree of infection by demonic energy. β
Ding Qiqi was slightly surprised: "You mean, you are also the kind of person who can control weird abilities...... Weirdos?"
Hua Duxiu said: "At the moment, I don't have that ability. β
He took out the gold cake tied around his waist and tossed it, it was quite heavy.
"Qiqi, do you know what is in this?"
Ding Qiqi said: "A piece of gold, you are not short of money, what are you doing robbing other people's gold." β
Hua Duxiu picked up the dragon scale sword and cut it carefully, the gold was already soft, not to mention that the dragon scale sword broke the iron and divided the gold, and in a few clicks, the gold cake was cut in the center, revealing the space inside.
Apparently, it was once a heavy gold box, which was softened and deformed by the fire, and then flattened by the collapsed masonry to become the present gold cake.
Fortunately, the contents were not burned.
As Hua Duxiu cut open the gold cake, a pale soft skin not much bigger than a fingernail appeared in front of the two of them.
Hua Duxiu's eyelids jumped wildly, a fragment of animal skin, another fragment of animal skin!
Ding Qiqi also felt something, couldn't help but shudder, and asked, "Xiaohua, what the hell is this? Its aura is so weird......
Hua Duxiu said: "It is a monster, a direct product of demonic energy, containing powerful and inexplicable power. To tell you the truth, one of the reasons I came to the Five Elements Heaven and Earth was to find it. β
After that, Hua Duxiu took off the gold pendant on the neckline and opened it gently, and inside was two small animal skins stacked together, which were also pale and soft.
As these two fragments appeared, the strange aura around them became even stronger, and even Hua Duxiu couldn't help but shiver, as if the fire burning in front of him could not bring warmth at all.
Ding Qiqi looked at Hua Duxiu a little confused: "Xiaohua, you ...... What are you collecting this thing for? It has a very evil smell in it, and you've been carrying it for a long time, I'm worried...... Fear that you will be affected by it and become a weirdo. β
Hua Duxiu nodded: "You're right, normal people are easily affected by its breath when they come into contact with this thing, but I'm different." β
"I have long been infected by this aura, and even my ancestors have been infected by demonic qi for several generations, and there are special demonic qi marks on my body. β
Ding Qiqi was stunned: "How many generations have been infected by demonic energy?
Hua Duxiu pointed to his eyes and said: "The eyes of our Hua family can slow down all movements, and can also pull in the distant vision, and the vision at night is also stronger than ordinary people, and even with the development of ability, these eyes may have more and more strange uses." β
"For example, I can look back with my eyes and see the veins and internal organs in my body, and I can practice the exercises quickly and steadily. β
Ding Qiqi: "...... Xiaohua, you can't be a clairvoyant/optic eye, right?"
As he spoke, Ding Qiqi subconsciously crossed his arms to protect his chest.
Hua Duxiu smiled bitterly: "What nonsense, if I am see-through/visual, I still need to peek at you taking a bath?"
Ding Qiqi feigned anger: "I knew it was okay for you to climb the tree, you really peeked at me taking a bath!"
She said and hit Hua Duxiu's pink fist, of course, this fist was soft and had no strength at all.
There's no way, she just peeked at Hua Duxiu taking a bath, anyway, everyone is even.
Hua Duxiu begged for mercy: "Don't fight, don't fight, I really didn't peek at you taking a bath, I just gave an example of such a thing......"
Ding Qiqi huffed and said, "What do you want to say?"
Hua Duxiu admitted defeat: "That is to say, I don't have clairvoyance." β
Ding Qiqi glared at Hua Duxiu: "Even if you have it in the future, you are not allowed to see through me, you know?"
Hua Duxiu sighed: "I know ......"
Ding Qiqi asked, "Since you are infected with demonic qi and your eyes are almost blind, why don't you want to treat them, but instead collect these dried skins?" Can they cure your eyes?"
Hua Duxiu said: "Nonsense, how can I be blind in my eyes." I collect it because I have an obsession. β
Ding Qiqi asked, "What obsession?"
Hua Duxiu said: "When I was young, I had a childhood sweetheart's fiancΓ©e, you ...... You know that, right?"
Ding Qiqi nodded: "Is it Shen Qingyue who gave you the little red sword?"
Hua Duxiu said: "That's right. β
"After she drowned, my head was so stimulated that I couldn't remember what happened that day, and even during the three years I practiced martial arts in the Demon Stream Mansion, I often had nightmares and dreams...... Alas. β
"Later, my father brought me the fragments of animal skins that had been handed down from our ancestors so that I could try the taste of demonic energy. The first time I came into contact with this thing, I plunged into a strange world and saw again the scenes I had seen countless times in my nightmares. β
Ding Qiqi asked, "What kind of scene is it?"
Hua Duxiu was silent for a while and said, "A person who is standing in front of you, but you can never see your face, Shen Qingyue." β
Ding Qiqi imagined the picture for a moment, suddenly shuddered, and said, "Ah, it's really scary!"
Hua Duxiu nodded and said, "If I want to recover that lost memory, I must unlock some areas of my head that are closed, or affected by special forces, and I must use monsters like demonic energy fragments. β
"Moreover, why has our Hua family been infected by demonic qi for generations, what is the origin of demonic qi, and what is the truth about the demon's incarnation thousands of years ago, the answer to all this may be in these fragments. β
Ding Qiqi said: "Then your ambition is really not small, and you still want to explore the origin of demonic qi and the truth of thousands of years ago." β
Hua Duxiu smiled: "That's all I said and played, don't take it seriously." Actually, this thing itself is very useful, it can bring unimaginable help to people, and my swordsmanship can have today's achievements thanks to this thing. β
Ding Qiqi looked at the fragment of animal skin in Hua Duxiu's hand, and said cautiously: "This thing looks like a few dry animal skins, it turns out that it is so mysterious, Xiaohua, can I take a closer look?"
Hua Duxiu suddenly had a special feeling, by the way, last time Memorialize Ze also said that she wanted to see what was special about this thing, but she couldn't resist the demonic qi infection, and fell directly into the demonic qi world, and fell on herself and knocked herself unconscious.
Alas.
A lesson from the past.
Hua Duxiu said: "Qiqi, this thing is very weird, you have never been exposed to demonic energy, as long as you hold it close to your head, you will fall into a strange world." β
"It's okay to touch it, but don't go near your head. β
Ding Qiqi was taken aback: "So mysterious? Forget it, I'm ...... I still don't look at it, and it will be troublesome if something unpredictable happens. β
Hua Duxiu nodded, took out the fragment of the animal skin from the cut gold cake, felt the coldness it brought to the soul, and carefully stuffed it into the golden pendant.
The third piece is here.
This piece was obtained quite smoothly, and there was no blood price, which was really blessed by the ancestors.
Wait until the right time to explore its mysteries, this is deep in the Vale, only a few dozen miles away from the White Sun Gate, it is better not to risk it.
Hua Duxiu said: "Speaking of which, you should have guessed why I appeared on the flat-topped mountain of Soul Dang Mountain at that time, right? Also, why the Sticky Pole Division arrested me, and why the Leopard King Gate repeatedly troubled me, it was all related to this thing. β
Ding Qiqi said: "They all want to rob you of the dry skin?"
Hua Duxiu nodded: "Some want to rob me, some are robbed by me, and they want to take it back with interest, anyway, it has something to do with it." β
Ding Qiqi said: "Speaking of which, what does this have to do with the little fat man? That is the fourth prince, doesn't he know that you have a treasure on you? Why didn't he rob you, and gave you a baby in turn?"
Hua Duxiu said slowly: "The fourth prince knows my secret, but he ...... Maybe my vision is too high, or maybe I have already mastered this secret at his level, he didn't arrest me, but persuaded me to stay in the Trapped Demon Valley honestly, to be my rich young master, and to be a ...... As the son-in-law of the Doge's Palace. β
Ding Qiqi was stunned: "The son-in-law of the Governor's Mansion? What is the son-in-law of the Governor's Mansion, who, you?"
Hua Duxiu nodded with a heavy face: "That's right, it's me." β
Ding Qiqi stopped talking, and the expression on his face suddenly froze.
"From my parents, to Lord Peng of the Governor's Palace, and even His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, almost everyone wants me to marry Governor Peng's daughter as soon as possible. β
"Now the Trapped Demon Valley is rumoring, and they all say that I am getting along with Peng Yaoyao, alas. If we can get married, our Hua family will be able to maintain the current powerful position for a long time, if not, Governor Peng will be annoyed and angry, and eighty percent will turn against our Hua family, and it is difficult to say what the situation will be at that time. β
Ding Qiqi stared at Hua Duxiu with a stunned face, speechless for a long time.
Hua Duxiu also stared at Ding Qiqi, he believed that Ding Qiqi was a spotless girl with unopened love, and it may not be appropriate to confess to her at this time, after all, she is still young, but it is time to tell her the truth, it's time to tell her.
The expression on Ding Qiqi's face changed, from surprise, to doubt, to panic, to gloom, all of which did not escape Hua Duxiu's eyes.
Perhaps, Ding Qiqi still doesn't know what the relationship between men and women is, but Hua Duxiu is so good to her, so attentive, and by her side every day, when she suddenly heard that he might want to marry another girl, this is ...... That's too unacceptable, isn't it?
I feel very uncomfortable.
Ding Qiqi lowered her head, her eyes were a little hollow, and she asked faintly:
"Then now that you've got it, what are you doing here, ...... Go back. β
