Looking at Ding Xiaolan's confused look, Qi Lu felt a trace of pain in his heart. "If I hadn't met your father, maybe he wouldn't have died, and you're still an office worker with no worries about food and clothing."

"What does my father's death have to do with you? Moreover, you saved him. Ding Xiaolan responded blankly, feeling that Qi Lu was too self-blaming.

"You don't know, I just didn't listen to Hou Yi's warning, so I killed your father." Qi Lu lowered his head.

Ding Xiaolan looked at him in a daze, not understanding what this had to do with Hou Yi.

"Before he died, Hou Yi told me not to give any help to his descendants. In the past, I would have agreed to any request he had, but this time, I refused. As if he had made up his mind, Qi Lu finally confided the truth to her. Hou Yi offended the gods back then, not to mention that he suffered the punishment of the gods, and even his descendants were cursed by the Kunlun gods. ”

Ding Xiaolan asked urgently: "What curse?" ”

"Back then, it was not only me and Lao Wu who sympathized with Hou Yi, but there were also many gods among the gods who did not regard him as a traitor, but regarded him as a hero." Qi Lu's eyes never dared to look at Ding Xiaolan. "The Emperor of Heaven, that is, our supreme king, Emperor Jun and his old man personally issued a divine spell in order to prevent the gods from helping Hou Yi's descendants to become immortals and become members of the god race."

"Divine spell, what is its content?"

"It is strictly forbidden for the gods to help the descendants of Hou Yi privately, if this god disobeys the orders of the Emperor of Heaven, he will lose all his divine power and fall into reincarnation, and he will not be able to live forever."

Ding Xiaolan couldn't help but hate and said, "Your king is really vicious. ”

"You are not allowed to say that about him, the Emperor of Heaven has a hard time!" Qi Lu's voice suddenly raised an octave, and then he realized that he had stabbed Ding Xiaolan's self-esteem, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Later, under the persuasion of the two great god kings of Jumang and Dijiang, the Heavenly Emperor slightly changed the content of this divine mantra. ”

Qi Luchang let out a sigh of relief, and then said, "That is, it is forbidden to teach the descendants of Hou Yi any immortal cultivation techniques. If these mortals suffered, the gods could only help them in secret, not let the person being helped know their identity, or else he would die. ”

"I kind of see what you mean." Ding Xiaolan, who gradually recovered her mood, said softly: "My dad knows your identity? ”

"Yes." There was an indescribable pathos on Qi Lu's face. "After I rescued Master Ding, he asked for my name. I remembered the curse of the Emperor and did not confide in him. I didn't expect your father to have a tendon in his brain, he said that he didn't even know the name of the savior, so he couldn't kneel anymore. Things have come to this point that I have to reveal my identity to your father. ”

Qi Lu's voice was a little lower, "I originally thought that since all the gods had fallen into the eternal sleep of death, then the divine spell should also lose its original magic power, but I didn't expect it to ......" Qi Lu couldn't continue.

Ding Xiaolan was stunned, and couldn't help but look up at him, there was such obvious pain in those bright eyes, Ding Xiaolan was half sad and half painful in her heart, and she realized that she had been wrong to blame Qi Lu.

"That's not your fault, it's just a fate we can't escape." After a moment of distraction, she lowered her head in despair, "It's me who is too willful." Don't worry, I won't ask you who you really are. ”

Qi Lu seemed to have unloaded a thousand catties of burden, and he muttered: "In order to atone for my sins, I inherited your father's will and slay demons in this world in the name of the Soul Crossing Master, hoping to find the murderer of your father." I thought it would be easy, but I didn't expect the impermanence of fate to make me fall deeper and deeper under the sign of the soul crosser, and finally met you......"

After a pause, Qi Lu continued: "Originally, Lao Wu and I wanted to hide these things from you for the rest of our lives, but we wanted to use the time you spent with us to slowly dissolve the evil qi in your life. I hope you can get married and have children like an ordinary person, and enjoy the joy of family life in your old age, but now it seems impossible. ”

"What do you mean, don't you...... Are you going to leave me? Ding Xiaolan's heart thumped.

"Even gods cannot escape the shackles of fate. I thought I could stay with you for decades, but I'm back......"

"So what does it matter?" Qi Lu's words caused her even more confusion, was she just worried about her discord with his wife?

Qi Lu sat gloomily in the chair and did not speak, and Ding Xiaolan saw that there was a guilt in his eyes that he had never felt before.

This guilt frightened Ding Xiaolan more than death, making her unable to look at it for another second......

"When we solve the evil organization of the Six Evils, the Kunlun Office will be closed." What answered Ding Xiaolan was Lao Wu's calm words.

"Why? Aren't we doing a good job! Why you should do it! With a trembling voice, Ding Xiaolan's pink face instantly lost its blood, and an inexplicable sadness appeared.

"Because when the time comes, Xiao Qi will fly with his wife, and he will never ask about the world again." Lao Wu took a sip of wine and said: "Without Xiao Qi's office, there will naturally be no value in existence, and I will also return to the mountains and forests to find a place to retire." Where to go...... Qingqiu may be a good choice. ”

"Why are you leaving, didn't you say that we are best friends, best companions?" Ding Xiaogang couldn't control his emotions and screamed. Only then did she realize that she didn't know when she had a deep attachment to the man in front of her.

Qi Lu didn't look over, not daring to face Ding Xiaolan's gaze. In this sad atmosphere, Lao Wu said with a touch of sadness: "Don't blame Xiao Qi, he owed Xiao Qi too much before, and what he is doing now is just to make up for his previous mistakes." ”

Lao Wu packed up the wine jug and began to tell Ding Xiaolan about the dusty past.

That year, because Hou Yi wanted to eliminate the nine babies who harmed the party, Qi Lu, who had just been reunited with his wife and children for a few days, had to say goodbye to his wife in a hurry and go down the mountain to help Hou Yi.

But what he didn't expect was that Qi Lu never saw his wife and children again.

On the third day after he left Kunlun, it happened to be the turn of Yu Zhen to guard Pan Tao Yuan, so she took her seven-year-old son to Pan Tao Yuan to do her duty.

But at noon, the peach orchard suddenly and strangely burned with monstrous flames. It is not an ordinary fire, but a true fire of samadhi that burns everything.

The gods were caught off guard, and when the Queen Mother of the West used her divine power to extinguish the fire, most of the peach trees in the garden and the butterflies living there were buried in the fire, and the peach orchard was almost in ruins.

When Qi Lu rushed back, all he saw was the charred corpses of his wife and children.

Ding Xiaolan listened to Lao Wu's narration with the same feelings, and seemed to see Qi Lu's painful expression at that time, as well as the desperate wail that roared to the sky.

"You should understand why Qi Lu did this now, right?"

"Yes." Ding Xiaolan raised her head in confusion and looked out the window, with a thousand words in her heart but didn't know where to start. At this moment, she finally understood that the bond between her and Qi Lu was no match for the strong love for his wife after all.

"Xiaolan, I hope you can understand my distress." Qi Lu stood up, this time his gaze was extremely firm. "In any case, before I leave, Lao Wu and I will definitely think of ways to resolve the Killing Wolf Destiny on you."

Ding Xiaolan sat silently at the head of the bed, her eyes still stayed in the emptiness outside the window, and she forgot to say the word thank you.

"You have a good rest, we...... Go back first. ”

Hearing that the door was gently closed, Ding Xiaolan finally hugged the pillow and cried uncontrollably, the tears in her eyes were woven into a familiar figure - a handsome face that seemed to be within reach, a handsome hair, and a warm expression that delusion could not create, like a father, and like Qi Lu......

In the dark night road, Lao Wu saw Qi Lu sitting behind him with a sullen expression from the front car mirror, so he said: "I finally finished what I had to say today, what else can you rest assured?" ”

"Is it really like this to put Ding Xiaolan aside? She's been following us for years, and she's offended a lot of monsters. We're gone, what if there's a monster to take revenge on her? ”

"Isn't there still Chen Jixian? Besides, we will teach her some useful life-saving spells before leaving, and after the monsters of the Six Evils are resolved, there are no powerful monsters in this world, what are you worried about! ”

"Is it really like what you say?" A little sadness rippled from the corner of Qi Lu's mouth, and he lit a cigarette.

"Have you thought about it?" Lao Wu suddenly asked him for no reason.

"What have you thought about?"

"Even if you stay, how long can you stay with her?"

Qi Lu let out a long sigh, yes, what Lao Wu said was right. How long can I stay with her, thirty years, or fifty years? Watch a woman's youth pass through time and eventually turn into a pile of bones. And himself, the face that will never change, helplessly bears the life and death parting in the world......

At this moment, Lao Wu braked sharply without warning, and if it weren't for Qi Luyan's quick support on the back of the chair, his head would have hit it hard.

"How do you drive?" Qi Lu suddenly shouted angrily.

"Shh Lao Wu suddenly put his hand to his mouth, "I seem to see someone crashing into my car without his life." ”

"What are you kidding, have you ever seen someone touching porcelain in the middle of the night!" Having said that, Qi Lu had already set his eyes on the front.

In the dark, there was nothing in the range illuminated by the headlights, except for the empty road, let alone people, not even small animals.

Qi Lu asked, "Are you dazzled?" ”

"Let's get out of the car and see."

In this way, the two got out of the car, and there was still no movement in front of them, but Qi Lu's eyes suddenly tightened.

"There is yin!"

"Yes, there is yin qi, it seems that a ghost has haunted us."

The two of them turned their heads behind them in unison, and suddenly saw a pale humanoid shadow appear on the road behind the car.

"Let's go, we are the Lord you can't afford to mess with, don't wait until your soul is gone to regret it." Lao Wu rarely showed compassion.

But Qi Lu was stunned, he seemed to smell a familiar smell, it was a woman's faint body fragrance, he hadn't smelled this fragrance for a while.
