Chapter 140: Deadline

In the cold wind, Dongfang Yi looked at Li Ji's back, and the old man's cloudy eyes narrowed slightly. Li Ji felt that something was wrong and turned his head, "Father-in-law." What's wrong......"

Without waiting for him to finish asking, Dongfang Yi pulled up his coat, "There's no problem, hurry up and put on your clothes, aren't you too cold as a water lawmaker." ”

Li Ji looked at the old man wearing an old dress in the autumn night and smiled bitterly, but he didn't reply and just obediently put on his clothes, and when he tied his clothes, he remembered what his hand and paused.

"What? Hands frozen? Dongfang Yi asked.

"No, nothing," Li Ji fastened his belt, raised his head and found Dongfang Yi looking at him with a strange expression.

"Father-in-law?" Confused, he asked, "Is there anything wrong with my back?" Or the meridians ......"

"No, there are no problems," Dongfang Yi looked at him, "The person who sealed the cave for you is very skilled. ”

The problem is that the craftsmanship is too good.

"Who did you find in the end to seal the cave for you?" Dongfang Yi turned around and packed up the things on the altar, pretending to ask casually.

"Yes......" Li Ji was about to step forward to help, but when he heard the words, he paused, and swallowed the words again, "Father-in-law, don't ask about this." ”

The girl was noticeable enough, and he didn't want her to attract the attention of one more Miko.

"What? Are you still angry that the old man didn't promise to seal the hole for you? Dongfang Yi sighed, "Okay, I know that you have always maintained friends, that is whether a man or a woman can always say, right?" ”

Li Ji was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he looked at the old man with a triumphant smile on the corner of his mouth, and his heart was broken,

Li Ji's forehead was full of green tendons.

This old man doesn't repair it and sets him up again!

Those who can seal acupuncture points for cultivators can only be cultivators, and they must also be cultivators with a high realm, and most of the cultivators in this world are men.

The moment he hesitated on this question, the identity of the woman was revealed.

What a human spirit the national teacher of Dongwu is, Dongfang Yi seemed to be able to see Li Ji's remorse through the mask, walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder, "Boy, you can be a girl." ”

Li Ji took a deep breath, and the people in the entire cultivation world probably couldn't imagine that the Dongwu National Teacher, who usually gave people the impression of being a high-ranking monk, was privately disrespectful to the elderly.

"Since my father-in-law guessed who it was, why did he try to deceive me?" Li Ji could only sigh.

"I guess who?" Dongfang Yi smiled and said, "I haven't guessed yet!" Let me guess, according to the realm, did you betray your hue and go to find Old Man Xu's daughter? ”

With a bang, Li Ji heard the sound of the green tendons in his forehead beating more happily.

"Okay, no kidding, if you really go to Xu Bingqing, it is estimated that you will not be able to come back at this point," Dongfang Yi hurriedly changed his words before Li Ji couldn't help but draw his sword and kill his father, the old man's eyes deepened, "This is the handwriting of the former Qin princess?" ”

Li Ji's eyes paused and remained silent.

Dongfang Yi is equivalent to default in his eyes. Looking at the indifferent and meticulous Yizi in the eyes of outsiders in front of him, he sighed, "You don't have to be afraid of exposing her, since that princess stepped into Soochow, she has been in the target of public criticism." Do you think I can't see the things that are happening near the gates? ”

"There are also those rumors from Nanchu, your letter of state for the king of Tanglin County was brought to His Majesty by the old man, what do you want to hide now?" Dongfang Yi said lightly.

Li Ji's fingers under his sleeve moved, "She helped me, I naturally want to defend her." ”

"Is it just maintenance?" Dongfang Yi squinted at him, and the next moment he turned around and said while placing the sacrificial vessels, "You still love and hate so much." ”

Dongfang Yi's words meant something, and Li Ji walked up to him, "Father-in-law...... Still blaming me? ”

"I'm such an old bone, I don't want anything from you, what's there to blame you," the white-haired old man said lightly, "Resentment will, love parting, can't ask for it, it will only make people more and more bitter." ”

"But I can't help but beg," Li Ji smiled bitterly, "Father-in-law, I know very well what I want." ”

"Yes," Dongfang Yi actually didn't like to talk to people, he slammed down the sacrificial vessel in his hand, looked at the young man next to him who was taller than him, and shouted, "But do you know, it's been eight years, and she's no longer there!" ”

She's gone.

This sound was like a morning bell, which broke Li Ji's mind, and he only felt a buzzing in his ears.

Li Ji knew that this was a Buddhist drink, but he didn't expect Dongfang Yi to use this trick on him at this time.

"Master, ...... you" Li Ji changed his title, looked at the angry old man in front of him and muttered, "I ......"

"It's been eight years, it's time for you to let go," Dongfang Yi quietly looked at the stoic young man in front of him, and sighed in his heart, "Or rather, you have to let go." ”

"The old man and you don't have much time left," Dongfang Yi said lightly.

A chill rose in Li Ji's heart, and he looked at the old man whose face was much older than the last time he left.

"Eight years ago, the old man picked you up from the land of the ancestors, you were full of revenge at that time, and your heart was empty, and you survived by this only faith, so the old man didn't stop you." Dongfang Yi looked at him deeply, "But the old man told you after you regained consciousness that the young master that the old man knew was not indiscriminately killing innocent people. ”

Li Ji gritted his teeth, "But Master, you also said that you have no evidence, let alone why my memory is wrong." ”

"That's right, the old man's trust is inexplicable, it's normal that you don't understand," Dongfang Yi said, "But the female cultivator you said took care of you, didn't you never find out where she came from?" ”

Li Ji closed his eyes, with the growth of his realm and experience, after so many years of pursuit, he actually gradually discovered that there were many strange things about his experience in the Cloud Forest back then.

But his revenge is not simply for the sake of killing.

"It's not that I don't believe my father-in-law's words, I just want the truth," Li Ji stroked the mask on his face, "I was looking for that person to ask her clearly." ”

Ask why he took his sister, why he left him alone, and what grievances there were between them, and he would make sure that it wasn't an indiscriminate killing.

Now, he just wanted to find her.

However, thinking of this, Li Ji was suddenly stunned.

At the time of Qianqin, he couldn't control his killing intent because of the surging feelings in his heart, but now he suddenly found that if the legendary Shao Si Ming really appeared in front of him, he seemed to be able to control himself from rushing up and piercing his heart with a sword in the first place.

Dongfang Yi's eyes deepened, and he also noticed the change in the righteous son in front of him.

And what changed him?

"On this trip, I know a little more about the female cultivators," Li Ji calmed down and said lightly.

Dongfang Yi's eyes were slightly deep, it was the former Qin princess who changed this child.

"But it is almost impossible for a female cultivator to appear now, and most of those in the past have escaped the world even if they are still alive," Dongfang Yi looked at Li Ji and said lightly, "You have been looking for eight years, you should know that you are looking for a needle in a haystack, you can't find it." ”

"But I'm going to keep looking," Li Ji said quietly.

"The old man has said that eight years is already the limit," Dongfang Yi said lightly, "Your Majesty will not tolerate it anymore." ”

Li Ji's eyes were stunned.

"You obviously have the qualifications to become a heavenly rank, but you are in exile, and you have refused His Majesty's canonization eight times, these old men in the past can help you stop it, but now, you can't." Dongfang Yi looked at Li Ji's gaze and became calm, "Dongwu needs someone to hold it up after all. ”

Under the old man's gentle gaze, Li Ji was like being in an ice cellar, "Master, are you ......?"

"You guessed it," the old man laughed softly, with a hint of ease in his kind smile.

"Ji'er, listen well," Dongfang Yi looked at him and said word by word.

"The old man's deadline is approaching, and he won't live long."

Standing on the top of a high mountain, stepping on the earth and bathing in the stars, Miko had his hands behind his back, but there was no fear on his face of what was about to happen.

"Don't be afraid, in other words," Dongfang Yi said quietly, "my old bones are going to die." ”
