Chapter 32: Heartbeat

Dao Yan also heard that Li Xiruo's medicine for refining Zhu Yanguo was presented to the emperor and empress. It is said that you may not be able to find one in a thousand years, and if you miss it, you may never have a chance again. How could Dao Yan, who had dreamed of being immortal, miss such an opportunity.

Over the years, he has used the method of borrowing Yangshou to renew his life, and now he is a young man about twenty years old and handsome. Now that there is no Li Chunfeng, he is not afraid that anyone will chase and kill him, and force himself to return Yangshou, so Dao Yan, who has no psychological burden at all, has designed a big drama, calculating Li Xiruo, a young girl who is young and not a big governor in his opinion.

On this day, Li Xiruo came out of the mansion and planned to go to the palace to see Empress Wu. She doesn't like to take sedan chairs and carriages on weekdays, and the mansion is not far from the palace, so she walks past every time.

It's just that this time it didn't go as smoothly as usual, but was surrounded by a group of family members on the way. The leader is a vulgar gentleman in his twenties, this gentleman Li Xiruo has met from afar, and he is the son of the eldest grandson's uncle's family.

The eldest grandson Wuji is powerful in the court, and usually the emperor Li Zhi has to listen to the eldest grandson Wuji. Although this time the abolition of Empress Wang and the ascension of Empress Wu to the throne can be regarded as a severe blow to the status of the eldest grandson Wuji in the court. But Li Xiruo knew that the current power of the emperor and empress was far inferior to that of the eldest grandson Wuji, and such a person was even more unprovoked by Li Xiruo.

As soon as Li Xiruo came out, he knew what he was thinking, and only glanced at his face, Li Xiruo knew that this gentleman was instigated by others, and heard that he was beautiful, and wanted to tie himself back to him as a concubine.

Although he didn't know who the instigator was, it didn't prevent Li Xiruo from having a cold face, and planned to teach this a hard lesson. She didn't dare to kill or maim her, but she still dared to kill chickens and monkeys and cripple all the family members under him.

But before she could make a move, a man in his twenties stood in front of her. Li Xiruo was slightly stunned, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the man in front of him in white clothes and black hair, the black hair on his head was neatly erected by the glass crown, his appearance was handsome, his temples were like a knife, and his eyebrows were like ink paintings.

If an ordinary girl sees such a handsome male hero saving beauty, it is estimated that a heart will fall into it like this. It's a pity that Li Xiruo is not an ordinary girl.

When the male hero saved the beauty, taught the gentleman and his gang of dogs a lesson, and turned to Li Xiruo to salute and inquire, Li Xiruo narrowed a pair of good-looking eyes and looked thoughtfully at the man in front of him who claimed to be Daoyan.

Dao Yan has Taoism and Taoism, and has the ability to cover his face, and Li Xi is conceited if he can't see it really. The person who instigated the instigation was indirectly found by himself, not by himself, and he thought that Li Xiruo would not know that he had done it himself.

It's a pity that he underestimated this disciple of Li Chunfeng. Although Li Xiruo can't really see Dao Yan's face, she has good roots, and it is not easy to be accepted by Li Chunfeng as a disciple, and she also knows that Dao Yan is the mastermind behind the scenes.

Li Xiruo listened to Dao Yan's faint concern words noncommittally, and while studying Dao Yan's face, he tried to recall what intersection he had with this Dao Yan, and why the other party took such a big time to approach him and calculate himself.

Dao Yan thought that Li Xiruo was just a twenty-year-old girl, and she usually didn't even go out, and when she suddenly met such a handsome young man as herself to save her beauty, she would definitely have a good impression of herself, but she didn't want Li Xiruo to react like this. Embarrassed and a little unwilling at the same time.

Dao Yan has always been very confident in his appearance, since he was a child, no woman has not had a good impression of herself after seeing her face. Not to mention, how many women are obsessed with their own faces.

To say that he is borrowing his lifespan is really just a literal meaning, and his lifespan is really borrowed. He really didn't hurt anyone. At this time, although Dao Yan was obsessed with immortality, although he used the evil art against the sky, he really did not harm anyone. The life he borrowed was willingly lent to him by the women who were obsessed with him, and ten or twenty years for a person added up to a lot.

But why is Li Xiruo so different from others? Don't say that you just saved the beauty as a hero, just say that your handsome angry face is not attractive to this woman at all? How could she look at herself without a good face at all?

Although Dao Yan was very unwilling, the fact was that Li Xiruo really didn't have a good impression of his face. In this world, the only face that can move Li Xiruo is Li Chunfeng.

Li Xiruo wanted to know what Dao Yan had in mind, Dao Yan wanted to get close to Li Xiruo, the two of them had their own thoughts, but no one broke the not very harmonious atmosphere, and they chatted harmoniously.

In the past, Dao Yan observed Li Xiruo in the dark and inquired about Li Xiruo's daily life. He didn't really understand Li Xiruo, but now after coming into contact with real people, Dao Yan found that Li Xiruo was not as usual as he usually appeared, only studying alchemy.

It was also after really coming into contact with Li Xiruo that Dao Yan understood why Li Chunfeng would accept Li Xiruo as a disciple. In the Tang Dynasty, the patriarchal atmosphere was still quite prevalent, although there were also women who were Taoist aunts, but it was men who really inherited the Taoism. There is hardly any Taoist Quanzhen who will pass on the Taoism to a woman.

After Dao Yan and Li Xiruo came into contact, they knew that it was not unreasonable for Li Chunfeng to pass on the Dao system to this little girl, this little girl was too shocking and stunning. Her intelligence and understanding are almost a dozen streets away from herself. No matter what she says, she can answer it, even if there is something she doesn't understand, it's a little bit clear. At a young age, he almost really inherited all the mantles of Li Chunfeng and learned everything very well.

Li Xiruo is very good-looking, although in this era, Li Xiruo can already be regarded as an old girl at this age. But if Li Xi, who is a cultivator, has a good face, he now looks fifteen or sixteen years old, and because of his extremely beautiful appearance, his smile and smile are exciting.

Within a few days, Dao Yan found out in despair that he approached Li Xiruo, not only did he not let Li Xiruo be obsessed with his face, but he did not let Li Xiruo trust him, and took the opportunity to get the elixir. On the contrary, I appreciate the beautiful and refined girl in front of me more and more, and even has a faint feeling of heartbeat. He's just stealing chickens and rice!

However, Dao Yan couldn't give up, if he gave up, he would never have a chance to get the elixir again, so even if reason told him that he couldn't contact this girl who could bewitch his heart anymore, he still had to find various reasons to contact this girl every day, like a girl's cliché, where did she put the refined elixir.

It's a pity that Dao Yan underestimated Li Xiruo in the end, Li Xiruo can become the confidant of Empress Wu and become the empress's right-hand man, not only because she reads a lot of books, but she can pinch and calculate. Li Xiruo's ability to calculate people's hearts was taught by Her Majesty the future Empress by hand, where can Dao Yan's two knives be compared.

The two of them got along for a while, Li Xiruo's gaze became colder and colder, but Daoyan's gaze at Li Xiruo became hotter and hotter. Because Dao Yan found that Li Xiruo was not only amazing, but also simply pitiful.

Dao Yan is not a good person, at least he has never felt that he is a good person. He is ruthless and cold-hearted, otherwise he would not take advantage of those girls' good feelings for him and borrow the lives of those girls. It's just that he still has some conscience, and he didn't completely harm those girls, but he just borrowed them for ten or twenty years.

But he didn't feel that Dao Yan, who was on the side of the word, felt pity for the first time, and hesitated about the matter of pitting people for the first time.

He suddenly became afraid, afraid that he would see Li Xiruo's disappointed and disgusted gaze after stealing Li Xiruo's elixir. That kind of scene, as long as he thought about it, he felt terrified. He was thinking that if one day he was immortal, but the girl in front of him was no longer willing to look at him more, that kind of immortality was still meaningless.

Dao Yan knew that he was emotional, but this emotion was contrary to his long-standing desire for immortality. Immortality and Li Xiruo can only choose one of the two, and they can't have both.

In fact, he also thought that even if he gave up the pill, Li Xiruo might not like him, and it would probably be a scene of chickens flying and eggs beating at that time. But even if there was only a 1 in 10,000 chance, he was unwilling to give up. In other words, even if Li Xi didn't like him, he didn't want to see this girl looking at him with disappointment and disgust.

Just when Dao Yan gradually sorted out his feelings and decided to give up the elixir of immortality. When he left Taishiling's mansion, his eyes were dark, and he was locked up by Li Xiruo's sneak attack.

When Dao Yan woke up, he found that he was locked in the dungeon by the dark iron chains engraved with spells, and the girl standing in front of him was white-clothed and black-haired, with picturesque eyebrows, and it was the girl he had put in his heart.

"Xiruo, what are you doing here?" Dao Yan's dark eyes stared at the girl in front of him tightly, and asked in disbelief.

Li Xiruo looked at Dao Yan coldly: "What? I'm not caught in your trap, you're disappointed? ”

Dao Yan was shocked, his heart trembled slightly, and he forced himself to ask, "What trap?" What do you mean by that? ”

Li Xiruo sneered: "From the first time I saw you, I knew that the yang shou on your body was borrowed from others. It's just that I don't know what you're approaching me for, but I've found out all this time, it turns out that you've been approaching all kinds of little girls, using their love for you, so that they are willing to sacrifice their longevity. How? I'm not fooled by you, disappointed? ”
