2. The Knot of the Emperor

The rain in Bumengzhou is heavy again, Li Qi's mood is not very happy with this heavy rain, when he thinks of Li Qingfang's madness to give himself an impossible task, Li Qi is disheartened, she wants to leave here, but she is a ghost official, normally she can't run to Bumengzhou so unprofessionally, thinking that he finally begged for blood and opened the Kunmen, how can he go back casually, but his heart is very unwilling, and for a while he can only wander in this haze of the dreamless continent (chapter 2 of the legend of the other world).

"Troublesome? Let me help you. Kong Fang came out of nowhere at some point, and under the disguised smile was actually a look of courtesy.

"Forget it, just you?" Li Qi looked at Kong Fang with disdain and said, "God can't help me anymore." ”

"How so?" Kong Fang seems to have a lot of confidence in himself.

"Unless you are from the Emperor's family," Li Qibai glanced at Kong Fang, "or do you have a copy of the books in my house?" ”

Kong Fang smiled slightly and said, "I am not talented, although I don't have any skills, but my memory is excellent, and I can never forget it." ”

"Really?" When Li Qi heard this, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart, "In this way, could it be that you have read all those books?" ”

"Exactly." Kong Fang nodded, his modest appearance was actually full of smugness, "You can write them all down silently." Luckily? ”

"Is there such a smart person in the world?" Kong Fang's words fell, Li Qi was full of suspicion, but she was still impressed by this Kong Fang who boasted of her extreme intelligence, and she was in a good mood and suddenly felt that Kong Fang was a little cute.

When Li Qi showed the Huangtian Knot after practice to Li Qingfang, Li Qi's expression was ridiculous until a few years later, she has always been a lazy person, and she doesn't seem to be as smart as Kong Fang, so everything is looked flat to people, and the word outstanding is far away from Li Qi, maybe Li Qingqi has too low expectations for Li Qi, so once Li Qi gets a little serious, it really scares Li Qingqi, maybe the former apprentice himself has not taught it well, maybe it's a pity that the ghost road will be lost, This time Li Qingmad really changed his cynical character in the past, and finally Li Qingmad taught Li Qi all the ghost ways with an attitude of resignation, and finally he had to admit that in fact, Li Qi, as a ghost official, was really suitable for the ghost road (Chapter 2 of the Legend of the World).

A few years later, the vastness of Li Qi, who had not seen Li Qi for a long time, stepped on the land of Bumengzhou, looking at the scene in front of him, looking at the hazy sky above his head, listening to the painful ** of old age floating among the reeds, the vast heart is very complicated, although he has escaped from the eight sufferings of the world, but everything he has experienced is still vivid, the sea of suffering is endless, in the dream continent, how many people can get out of the sea of suffering like this?

A gust of wind blew, but the rotten air was mixed with a fishy smell that seemed to come from the demon world, Haohan looked up, and saw that there was suddenly an enchantment in the sky that could wrap the Bumeng Continent, this is Li Qi's Huangtian knot, Haohan's heart was happy, and he saw Li Qi stepping on Yu Bu under the tall banyan tree in the distance.

"Reward the good wishes and sacrifice the five mountains, control the evil and help the right step on Kyushu. If you don't sacrifice to the five mountains, you can't make a wish, and if you don't step on Kyushu, you won't become a gang. If you don't step on the Kyushu soldiers, you are stepping on the Kyushu soldiers. Li Qi recited the mantra in his mouth, and his fingers glued out the curse mark of the Emperor Heavenly Knot, only to see a blue circle full of incantations gradually expanding around Li Qi, until it touched the boundary of the Emperor Heavenly Knot and gradually disappeared.

"Well, it's already there." Haohan nodded and said.

Seeing the appearance of Haohan, Li Qi screamed and said loudly, "The emperor? Why are you here, have you seen all my ghost techniques? ”

"What does it matter?" Haohan saw Li Qida's embarrassed look.

"Among all the spells in the ghost path, this one is the ugliest, like an old man, if it weren't for the fact that it could surpass the undead, I wouldn't be able to practice anything." Li Qi complained.

"In fact, Yu Bu was originally created by a great god of Houtu when he was old, that is, he was already very old, and he limped with rheumatism, and later his heirs followed suit, and it became what it is today." Haohan relieved, "In fact, Yubu should aim at strength, the stronger the spirit, the more shocking it is, and the ugliness will naturally disappear." Just like Li Qing danced wildly back then, he was very chic. ”

"Chic?" Li Qi thought back to the Yu step demonstrated by Li Qingfang, the old cold legs of perennial rheumatism and the old man's Yu step, he couldn't imagine the chic of Li Qing's crazy Yu step.

Speaking of Li Qingfang, this has always been a bohemian person, even if he is locked up in Bumengzhou, he doesn't care, in the first few years, he is always accompanied by fine wine, drunk and dreaming of death, he doesn't care about his unbearable aging body, plus the humid environment of Bumengzhou, until the arrival of Li Qi, his rheumatism is already very serious, Li Qi often advises him not to drink so fiercely, but Li Qingmad always says that there is wine today and drunk today, and often says that if you don't drink again, you will be so old that you can't even drink water in the future, That is to no longer be able to enjoy.

Li Qi was speechless, because she knew that the people here would always be immortal and grow old, she had seen the old man next door, but also because she drank too much and finally collapsed on the bed, and couldn't move, of course, no matter what, Li Qingmad will always have such a day, he saw it, but Li Qi couldn't, she knew that Li Qingmad always pretended to be okay in the morning, but every night he would be sick and painful, at first Li Qingmad didn't let her go to the depths of the Dreamless Continent, Li Qi also tried to avoid it, but in order to find out the truth of immortality, In order to ask for more information from older people, he couldn't help but be curious about Li Qi a few years later, and when Li Qi saw the misery in the depths, over time, Li Qi completely collapsed, in fact, this time the vastness was not because he wanted Li Qi to come here, but because he received Li Qi's letter, because he saw Li Qi's persistence, and saw that Li Qi actually wanted to save his father, even if he was on the verge of collapse, he did not hesitate, but Li Qi's reluctance, even if Li Qi's arrival gave him the greatest comfort, Even if he never wanted Li Qi to leave, he would still drive Li Qi away fiercely.

"Li Qi, what are you thinking?" Li Qingfang interrupted Li Qi's train of thought.

"Nothing?" Li Qi hurriedly changed the subject, "I just wondered why the spell I used was a little unsmooth?" ”

"How long can you last the Emperor's Knot?" The vastness of thought.

"An hour or so." Li abandoned the road.

"It's okay, I've already learned it, and with more practice in the future, I can naturally maintain it for a longer time." Haohan gradually shifted his words to the purpose of coming here today, "Since you have completed your studies, then go back with me." ”

"No, I haven't found anything, how can I just leave?" Li Qi said, she knew that it must be Li Qingfang who couldn't drive her back, so she moved in Haohan, a rescuer.

"Do you like it here?" Vast persuasion.

"I don't like it, I want to get out of here too." Li Qi said, "But over the years, I have traveled to every corner of Bumengzhou, and I have asked every old man, and I am about to find out the clues, how can I just leave." ”

"Clues?" Vast and wonderful.

Speaking of this, Li Qi took out the family tree that he had been carrying on his body all along, and he had summarized it for a long time. "Then, Emperor Emperor, look at it, this is the family tree that I drew after asking how many old people I asked here, but the oldest person in this Bumengzhou is just the old man of your son's generation, so your generation has the secret of immortality." Li Qi said mysteriously.

"Secret, what secrets do the undead have, has it never been heredity? It's just that part of it has not been inherited, and part of it has been inherited, so what's the secret? It's like you're like your father, not like your mother, why? Blood relationship, no why. There are several children in a family, some like fathers, some like mothers, what's so strange about this. Haohan said.

"Isn't there a secret? Or, are you not old enough? Li Qi frowned, the vast statement was very unconvincing to her, it seemed that the entire Li family believed in heredity and had never doubted it.

"Old? Hehehe. Haohan smiled, "It's true that I'm not the oldest person in the Houtu family, the Houtu family came to the world since my grandfather, and then slowly had a huge family scale before, but when I remember, the population of the Houtu family is very small, only my lobby brother is older than me, at that time, I remember that there are only my cousin brother, sister-in-law and one or two children of my eldest brother in the family, his children are younger than me, and the Houtu family is bred from my cousin's generation." ”

"What about your parents, and your grandfather?" Li Qi asked.

"I died one after another before and after I was born, because I didn't adapt to the human environment, and then some children didn't understand and said that I was a lonely star, so many people died, only my cousin was hard, I couldn't die, I didn't believe it, and then I had to believe it after I heard more, and when I grew up, I began to wander, looking for beautiful women, in fact, I was afraid of killing my family again, sure enough, after I left, there were many fewer people who died in the family, but my descendants, even my little dragon girl, were also killed by me......" The vast eyes became very distant, He gradually recalled the past and said faintly: "Alas, after all, Lone is an ominous person......

"Unknown? The emperor, you always say that you are unknown, in fact, it is your longevity that will experience the death of everyone, why do you blame everything on your head, the destruction of the country is your fault, and the dead are also your fault, but I don't think, even if you are really ominous, aren't you also redeemed by me from the underground palace? Li Qi retorted, she wants to break the vast fatalistic thinking, many things, even if you don't have hope, who will pity you?

"Redemption?" Haohan smiled with relief, remembered a lot of past events with Li Qi, and reached out to stroke Li Qi's face, "Didn't Lone kill you once?" Your life is harder than mine, not only did you not be killed by me, but you redeemed me. ”

"Since you can be redeemed by me, what's the harm in redeeming the entire Li Clan's undead clan?" Seeing Haohan praising himself, Li Qi was proud and began to talk big again. "So I'm going to stay here until I find the roots of the undead."

"Alas......" Haohan shook his head, the root, where to start, it seems that this girl is going to stay here until she is old.

"That, this is the family tree, I have checked out the undead who are still in the Dreamless Continent, take a look, and who is the lobby brother you said?" On a whim, Li Qi took out the information he had collected for a long time and spread it out.

"Oh, what's my cousin's name? I can't remember exactly. Haohan flipped through the genealogy, looking for his name on the first few pages, "Sure enough, I'm still old, and I can't remember many things." ”

"Isn't there just a few people? Think about it. Li Qi pointed to the name of a person on the family tree, and said: "He is the same generation as you, according to the old man in the back, he lived a long time, it seems that he has not died until he is almost 4000 years old, and he is almost 200 years old when converted into ordinary people, it is said that his physical function has completely declined, his teeth have also fallen out, his ears are deaf, his eyes have long been invisible, and he is no different from the living dead. Later, I don't know how he died, but those old people said that after he died, there was a dream, and his son said that in fact, your brother didn't die back then, but came to the dreamland, but all the old people didn't see him, and they didn't know where he went. ”

Haohan looked at the name of Li Qizhi, and gradually remembered: "Yes, he is my lobby brother - Li Haoran." ”

"Oh, so there's maybe hope to find him?" Li Qi said excitedly.

"I have lived with him for so many years when I found him, if there was a secret, I would have known it a long time ago, and it would be your turn to find out the secret." Haohan smiled.

"Maybe Li Haoran doesn't want to tell you, after all, your age difference is very big." Li Qi said this, a gust of wind blew, blowing the vast blue long hair that almost mopped the ground, and the vast looked into the distance along the place where the hair floated, and saw the lush green of the towering trees in front of him, and he didn't feel thoughtful.

"Li Qi, where does this tree grow?" Haohan asked suddenly.

"Growing up in a house, the roof is messed up, you also think this tree is very aura, I practice here every day, the shade of the tree is comfortable in the scorching sun." Li Qi looked at the big tree behind him and said.

"Go, take me to the roots." Vast Zhengse said.

"What's the matter, you still think there's something wrong with this tree, I've seen it, the house is dark, there's nothing but the trunk, there's nothing to see, it's very gloomy there." Li Qi didn't want him to go.

Haohan turned his head kindly and smiled, "What's wrong?" You look at me, this old cadre, and you are not afraid, afraid that a zongzi (zombie) will come out of the tree? ”
