Chapter 22: The Conspiracy of the Head of the House
"Mei Ruoling" opened her thin lips as indifferently as water, and her voice carried a sense of transparency and long-distanceness, as pleasant as the sound of a stream in the forest stream.
Hearing Mei Ruoling's words, Qing Barley couldn't help but be shocked, and the three words Mei Ruoling were deeply imprinted in her heart.
"Don't forget, there's still a month to go, and the Divine Beast University will open." Mei Lingruo said softly, as soon as the voice appeared, it dissipated into the air, if the barley didn't listen carefully, he would definitely not be able to hear it.
Just when Qing Barley was about to speak, she only felt that the white shadow in front of her flickered, and she was the only one left in the entire courtyard, if she could still feel his breath, I was afraid that she would think that everything before was just her fantasy.
Just looked at the place where Mei Ruoling was standing, and felt a little stunned in his heart.
"This man is very strong." Yao'er couldn't help but sigh, she had never encountered such a strong beast in Qingqiu, a person who could exude his own breath was strong, but this kind of person was far less strong than a person who could control himself without leaking a trace of breath.
You must know that it is not a simple matter to control the aura from being exposed, and this man can actually control the aura around his body like an ordinary person who has never cultivated.
Hearing this, Qingli nodded: "I also think that he doesn't seem to be from Qingqiu." ”
"I think he must have something to do with your master, otherwise, how could he mention the Divine Beast University, like this, only those big forces can cultivate such a cultivation at such a young age, and judging from his performance, he can be regarded as a leading figure in that school."
School, Qingqiu's mind was full of these two words, from the very beginning, she knew that in the chaotic world to get better cultivation resources, joining the Divine Beast University is a very good choice, of course, wanting to join the Divine Beast University is definitely not a simple matter, it is said that the Qingqiu Spirit Fox Clan is also in the past few hundred years, only one ancestor has entered the Divine Beast School, and therefore the Qingqiu Fox Clan family is so strong as it is now.
From this, you can see how many benefits there are to be able to enter the Divine Beast University, but only one has entered the Divine Beast University for so many years, needless to say how strict the enrollment of the Divine Beast School is...... In order to get the spirit bead, in order to reunite with his family as soon as possible
From this moment on, Qingli had one more goal in his heart, that is, he was going to school. Maybe it's because I remember Mei Ruoling's last sentence, he said that he hoped to see him again in the future, and she wanted to say that she also hoped.
This was a very strange feeling, she didn't know why she was doing this, but she wanted to understand the world that belonged to Mei Ruoling, a world that was completely different from the small world of Qingqiu that she was currently sticking to!
Thinking of this, Qing Barley is cultivating harder, Mei Ruoling Ling Ling is not in her twenties, but her strength is much stronger than her, she doesn't want the gap to be so big.
After Mei Ruoling left the barley fox clan's house, he continued to move forward, and this time when he went back, the matter had been dealt with, and he had to hurry up to school. Originally, I didn't plan to stop on the road, but for some reason, I stopped when I saw the figure in the yard.
This is the first time he has done such an abrupt thing, his state of mind is always calm, he will never do unnecessary things, but this time he doesn't know why. Is it just, because of curiosity about that special admission?
Looking at the martial arts performed by the woman, especially the last three moves, it was really good, and he couldn't help but praise it, but I am afraid that there will be no chance to meet in the future, the distance between them is too far.
Putting aside the thoughts in her mind, Mei Ruoling continued to rush towards the school, and everyone only felt that a figure flew in front of them, but when they wanted to see it clearly, there was nothing, as if everything before was just their eyes.
On this night, people from two different worlds were entangled with each other.
On the second day, Qing Barley woke up from cultivation, the last meridian has not been widened, she did not go to the martial arts training ground today, because what she needs to practice has been practiced at night, today is the last day of carrying water, she finished picking water, and went to the martial arts hall during the day.
She didn't know how the head of the family greeted her, no one came out to stop her when she entered the martial arts hall today, not even the elder who guarded her, she knew that the elder knew that she was coming, but she didn't need to ask.
Standing in the same position yesterday, Qing Barley picked up the martial arts again and looked at them, it seemed that the practice of one page had a deeper understanding of these martial arts.
Time passed through his fingers, and while Qing Barley was concentrating on reading, the old man from yesterday quietly appeared by the door again, but when he watched Qing Barley look at the martial arts faster and faster, as if he had just turned over the matter, a trace of displeasure appeared between his eyebrows.
What can be understood at such a fast speed? I didn't expect to be another undown-to-earth kid, which is really disappointing! Regarding the appearance of the old man, Qing Barley quickly realized it this time, and smiled at the old man: "You are here."
However, the old man only glanced at the barley, snorted coldly and left, and went up to the second floor.
Seeing this, Qing Barley's face was full of doubts, he didn't seem to have done anything to be sorry for the old man, why did he change so much yesterday and today? Frowning and thinking for a moment, she continued to bury her head in martial arts, and she Qingli generally didn't feel much about inconsequential people.
In the days that followed, Qingli went back and forth between the martial arts hall and the Qingli temple every day, and hardly went anywhere else except these two places.
And the speed at which Qing Barley looks at the martial arts is also getting faster and faster, and before he knows it, he is about to finish reading all the martial arts on the first floor of the martial arts hall, and the more he sees the back, the more Qing Barley also finds a problem.
That is, looking at the progress of this martial art now, it can be said that it is getting smaller and smaller, this kind of yellow rank primary and intermediate martial arts can not be improved much, although there is still some improvement, but the improvement is very small, Qing Barley couldn't help but move his eyes to the second floor of the martial arts hall, where there are yellow level advanced martial arts, and even Xuan rank martial arts!
Come to think of it, if you can fuse those two martial arts, you should make great progress!
Since I have seen a lot of martial arts these days, the moves condensed by the barley also have seven moves. Maybe for others, the seven moves are just a joke, which is too little, but for Qing Barley, she knows that these seven moves are much stronger than dozens of other moves.
The daily fusion let her know how much accumulation it takes to fuse into one move, and she is also very confident in these seven moves, although she has not seen the advanced martial arts of the Yellow Order until now, but she believes that her seven moves should not be worse than the advanced martial arts of the Yellow Order, and even the Xuan Rank is not necessarily!
During the days when she stayed in the martial arts hall, the old man who cleaned would still appear occasionally, but the barley didn't greet him anymore, and it seemed that the old man didn't like him from the performance of the old man last time, and she really didn't have the need to say hello, and the province was annoying.
Although the barley does not pay attention to the old man, but the old man has been paying attention to the barley during this period of time, and he saw her watching the martial arts so fast before, thinking that the barley is in a hurry and is unwilling to be down-to-earth, so he no longer pays attention to the barley.
On the first day, I felt very good when I watched Qingqiu use that set of Qiankun whip method, both in power and dexterity, and I felt that Qingqiu had produced a child with good potential for so many years, and I wanted to cultivate it well, but when I saw that she looked at each martial art and did it hastily, I felt that she didn't cherish it enough.
Having seen so many descendants, he understands that in the path of cultivation, potential is important, but perseverance is the most important. It's just that after paying attention to these days, the old man found that the barley didn't seem to be what he imagined, if it was just like that, how could he stay in the martial arts hall for such a long time, and every time he watched it, he was obviously immersed in the content of martial arts.
What the hell is going on? Rao is well-informed old man was also puzzled, he had never seen such a thing, what was the barley doing? He couldn't help but pay more attention.
Today, Qing Barley left the martial arts hall early, because the martial arts on the first floor had already been watched by her, and she had to get permission from the head of the house if she wanted to go up to the second floor, so she was ready to go to the head of the house.
During the days when Qing Barley was studying in the Martial Arts Hall, Hu Lingbai and the Blue Devil had also been paying attention, and the Blue Devil was also happy after knowing that she went every day, although she didn't know what the strength of Qing Barley was, as long as she had this heart, it would be gratifying. She thought that the barley should have her own ideas, and she didn't want to disturb her.
Hu Lingbai climbed the wall and saw the barley so quickly, he couldn't help but smile, but she was just a buoyant and boring little girl with a high Wuyuan, if she cultivated like this, if she didn't specialize in one subject, she was destined to achieve nothing.
When leaving, Qing Barley passed through the martial arts training ground, and found that everyone's practice was getting harder and harder, and everyone pouted when they saw Qing Barley leaving next to them, everyone was in a family, and naturally knew that Qing Barley had stayed in the martial arts hall these days.
They only have one chance to enter the martial arts hall once a week, but during this time, Qing Barley can stay in the martial arts hall every day, it is impossible to say that he is not jealous in his heart, but jealousy is also a helpless thing, who let this matter be approved by the head of the family?
Soon, the barley came to the courtyard of the head of the house, and asked the next person to announce that she walked in without any obstacles, and the barley had an intuition that she might know something today, although for no reason, but she just felt this way.
Standing outside the door, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Hu Lingbai's deep voice came from inside.
"Squeak" Qing Barley took a step and walked in, only to see Hu Lingbai standing in front of the windowsill with his back to him.
Hu Lingbai didn't look back and said, "Close the door." ”
Qing Barley felt the unusual atmosphere, but he didn't ask too much, turned around and closed the door, then turned his face to look at Qing Barley and said, "Barley, I haven't cared about you for so many years, in your heart...... Hate me, my uncle? ”
Hearing this, Qingli looked up at Hu Lubai, there was not the slightest hatred in his eyes, and his red lips opened lightly: "It's impossible not to hate, I've been living a life that is not even as good as my subordinates all these years, the laughing stock of the entire Qingqiu, wouldn't you be resentful if you were it?" ”
When Hu Lingbai heard Qingli's words, a self-deprecating smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, but there was a thick apology in his eyes: "Yes, my sentence is really redundant, if I can take care of you more, you won't have such a bad life over the years." ”
Looking at Hu Lingbai's lost appearance, to be honest, Qingli's heart was not comfortable, in fact, she didn't hate Hu Lingbai, after all, the previous days were not what she took, but after hearing Hu Lingbai's words, there was an involuntary anger in her body, which was obviously the residual thoughts of the previous Qingbai.
"And what do you mean by that now?" Qing Barley raised his head and asked, Obviously, it is impossible for Hu Lingbai to sigh with emotion today, the focus should be below.
"Qing barley, your father is my younger brother, after he went out to practice, he disappeared for three whole years, and there was no news, just when we all thought he was gone, he came back with you."
Qingli's heart tightened, she had always been curious about her life experience, what was going on? Obviously, Hu Lingbai knows the inside story. "What the hell happened in the first place? Why do the Great Elder and Second Elder say that I am a seed of evil? These questions had been piling up in her mind for a long time.
Hu Lingbai sighed, turned his eyes to the window, as if he was thinking about the events of many years ago, but the heavy expression made Qing Barley's mood a little depressed, she knew that the things back then were not simple, but Rao was unable to understand how she thought about it.
"In the past, Ling Nan was always high-spirited, all he had in him was firmness and perseverance, every time I saw him, I felt very happy, he was the most talented child of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, and he had the opportunity to join the Divine Beast University. At that time, because of Lingnan, Qingqiu's status in the entire fox clan also improved a lot.
At that time, Qingqiu could be said to be the first family of the fox clan, and neither the fire fox nor the blue fox could compare with our Qingqiu fox. ”
"But now it's the fire fox, the blue fox and the Qingqiu fox, the three fox clans, is it all related to my father?" From Hu Lingnan's words, Qing Barley quickly thought of this possibility.
Seeing that Qing Barley thought of it so quickly, Hu Lingbai also nodded approvingly, but the self-deprecation at the corner of his mouth turned into desolation, and now Hu Lingbai is not the usual serious and impersonal head of the family in the eyes of Qing Barley, just an ordinary big brother who is sad for his younger brother.
"Ling Nan left Qingqiu at that time to be admitted to the Divine Beast University, and at that time, the entire Qingqiu was proud of Ling Nan, but in the end he disappeared.
Then we waited for a long time but never saw Lingnan come back, three years, Rao is hope in our hearts, but it gradually disappeared, the secret way is just to lie to yourself.
However, he came back with you, and I have never been able to forget the appearance of Ling Nan when I saw him three years later, not as vigorous as before, his handsome face has become messy, his beard has not been shaved, his hair has not been combed, and his whole body is full of decadence.
Although it is still Ling Nan, but it gives people the feeling that it is like a different person, the first thing he did when he returned to the fox clan was to resign from the position of the head of the family, in addition to caring for you very much, he ignored everyone else, originally we thought that things were just so simple, but then an unpredictable disaster happened. Hu Lingnan's face was full of pain, obviously remembering the unbearable scene.
Qing Barley's heart was also tightened, what kind of scene happened at that time, a strong person like Hu Lingbai would show such a painful look.
"The other party claimed to be from your mother's family, your father met your mother outside, and then the two had you, but your mother's family was very powerful, and they didn't look down on Ling Nan, and at that time your mother had a marriage contract with another huge family, and your birth was a shame for them, so both families sent people over to suppress our fox clan.
How can a fox clan of their huge family be able to deal with it, the husband of the eldest elder, and the hands of the second elder are also passed away and broken because of this matter, so you should be able to understand their hatred for you. ”
Hearing this, Qing Barley nodded, if she said that she hated the Great Elder and the Second Elder before, she would no longer hate it so much after hearing this past, after all, she and her father owed the two elders for this matter, didn't it?
"Because of the suppression of the two families, why Qingqiu has become what it is now? So my dad was killed by them too? Qing Barley's voice trembled a little when she asked this sentence, if this was the case, then how could she be embarrassed?
His father was killed by his mother's family, is this revenge for killing his father or not?
"Yes, your father bore the brunt of that disaster, but he was not killed by your mother's family, but by another family with whom your mother was betrothed, and your mother's appearance left your father's body alone.
However, your mother fed your father a pill at the beginning, so for so many years, your father's body has not decomposed, but is placed in a crystal coffin, which is a secret that belongs to the family, and only the elders know. ”
"Isn't it possible for my father to be resurrected?" If it weren't for that, my mother wouldn't have done such a thing, right? After all, my mother had never seen my father for so many years.
Hu Lingbai nodded: "That's right, there is still the possibility of resurrection, but it must be very difficult to think about, we don't know how, maybe you have your mother to know."
In fact, your mother is a good woman, she paid a lot for your father, in that war, if it wasn't for your mother, I'm afraid that the Qingqiu Fox Clan would no longer exist. "It's just that your mother's bloodline must be too noble, not our declining bloodline abandoned by Nuwa Niangniang.
Qing Barley cast her eyes on the ground, hearing these things, she only felt that her mood was unprecedentedly heavy, although Hu Lingbai's words were very simple, but she could imagine what kind of scene it was for a woman to watch her beloved man die in front of her in order to prevent such a disaster.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Qingqiu's loss was the greatest, but Qingqiu knew that her mother had endured too much, and she couldn't imagine how she could bear all this by herself.
"Can I go see my dad?" Qing Barley's eyes were slightly red, full of strong desire, through this month of getting along, he planned for himself, she really, really wanted to see her father, that soul shadow couldn't be hugged at all, couldn't be touched, now, it's good to go and see her father's corpse......
She remembered her father's warm embrace, and the only thing she was happy about over the years was that she had a father who loved her very much, and although the time she spent with her was too short, it was enough for her to miss.
Hu Lingbai looked at the reddish eyes of the barley, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, the family that your father couldn't kill at the beginning, now, you go and destroy it. Go and avenge your parents, then the revenge will not be avenged, and you will die, if you can't blame me for this uncle, you can only blame your incompetence. He really didn't dare, she would leave Qingqiu now and go to her mother...... He didn't want to make a move, because, in Qingqiu, if he dealt with this junior, then his mother, the guardian of the family, would not agree. At that time, their mother and son would not be close.
"Yes, I'll show you there."
"Thank you." The barley's voice was faint, but Hu Lingbai still heard it, and he felt a little more comforted in his heart.
Following behind Hu Lingbai, the two walked for a long time and approached the back mountain.
In the end, Hu Lingbai stopped in front of a mountain rock, only to see Hu Lingbai close to the mountain stone, and pressed it in an extremely hidden place in the upper left corner, and the sound of "boom" sounded, and the heavy mountain stone turned out to be a stone door, which had been opened at this moment.
Seeing this scene, Qing Barley also secretly sighed in her heart that this was really very hidden, if Hu Lingbai hadn't brought her over, I am afraid that she might not be able to find abnormalities even if she stayed here for three days and three nights.
Although, these days, she is thinking about secretly coming to see her father, maybe it is good to see her in such an open and open way.
When the stone door opened, Mu Zhili followed Mu Qingli and walked in, the secret room was the size of a room, but at this time, Mu Zhili was not in the mood to observe this secret room, her eyes had been attracted by the crystal coffin in the center of the secret room.
Her steps became slower, and she slowly walked in front of the crystal coffin step by step, but when she saw the figure in the crystal coffin, tears finally couldn't help but flow.
That's right, the one lying in there is the father who remembers himself, and the moment he saw Hu Lingnan, the two had completely merged.
The box of memory was opened, and the barley recalled the previous scenes, this loving, strong but helpless father, tears dripped on the crystal coffin, and the circle was fainted.
Hu Lingnan, who was asleep, looked so peaceful. After meeting Hu Lingnan, Qing Barley understood why he would grow like this.
Hu Lingnan used to be the most beautiful man in the fox clan, and none of the beautiful men in the Qingqiu fox clan could be compared with him, maybe he was the same level of beautiful men as Mei Ruoling and Yun Zunhong who knew him today, but they were completely different types. (To be continued.) )
