Chapter 59: The Seed of God
"Qi Lu!" Ding Xiaolan exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly stepped forward to support his body.
Qi Lu's body was changing, he slowly returned to his human form, and the golden long sword turned into a pendant, which fell weakly in the palm of his hand.
Ding Xiaolan immediately recognized that this was the pendant shaped like a cross that Qi Lu wore around her neck, she hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up the pendant and hung it back on Qi Lu's neck.
"Beauty ......" Qi Lu squeezed out a reluctant smile on his face, opened his mouth a few more times, but was speechless.
"Where's the injury?" Ding Xiaolan gently wiped the sweat from his forehead and checked his injuries.
"I'm ......" Qi Lu closed his eyes, but blood kept flowing out of the corners of his mouth.
At this time, Lao Wu had already bent down and took Qi Lu from Ding Xiaolan's hand, he turned his head and said to her: "Xiao Ding, change your clothes." ”
"Ahh Ding Xiaolan screamed again, she understood why Qi Lu and Lao Wu didn't look at her, it turned out that the blanket wrapped around her body had slipped from her body to the ground at some point.
Ding Xiaolan blushed suddenly, she jumped up like a spring, and hurriedly went to the wardrobe to find suitable clothes.
When she got dressed, she found that Lao Wu had helped Qi Lu to sit cross-legged, and he was already sitting cross-legged behind Qi Lu, with his hands pressed on Qi Lu's back shoulders.
"Are you using your skills to heal Qi Lu?" In front of her, Ding Xiaolan has seen countless times from film and television dramas.
"Pretty much." Lao Wu frowned and said, "This kid doesn't listen to persuasion, and forcibly uses the spirit sealed in his body to save you." In the past, he had a true qi to protect his body, and he could resist the negative effects brought about by it. But today is different, Xiao Qi's true qi has long been withdrawn, and he can't withstand the damage that the gods have inflicted on his mortal body. ”
Ding Xiaolan's eyes were a little moist, and there was something inexplicable in her eyes, which made her heart beat for no reason.
I don't know how long it took, Ding Xiaolan suddenly heard Qi Lu cough, and quickly opened her eyes to look, and found that Lao Wu had stood up and sat on the chair.
"I'm afraid I have to recuperate for a few days, don't be reckless during this time, otherwise my life will not be saved." While speaking, Lao Wu suddenly laughed, "If you want to recover early, you can ask your wife to help you." ”
Qi Lu didn't make a sound, he stood up with his hands on the ground, walked to Ding Xiaolan's side and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's fine." Ding Xiaolan's tears suddenly gushed out. She looked up at the handsome man in front of her, and her heart was mixed. After a long time, she sobbed and said, "Who are you?" ”
"We are your companions, your friends."
It was still the familiar sentence, but Ding Xiaolan was tired of it, "Do you really want to hide it from me for the rest of my life?" ”
"It's true that now is not the time to tell you, I'll ......" Old Wu had just said half a sentence, and Qi Lu had stopped him from talking further.
He held Ding Xiaolan's hand and said in a slightly slower tone: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I can't control the consequences caused by this." ”
"You're lying to me again." Ding Xiaolan pursed her mouth, and she had already lost her anger at him in her heart.
"A long time ago, my best friend, this is what he told me before he died, and I never doubted him."
"Huh." Ding Xiaolan smiled dryly and said, "Is he a god?" ”
"It's not." Qi Lu's gaze froze for a moment, but he finally said the words that shocked Ding Xiaolan. "He used to be the god of war in the heavenly realm, and in order to give mankind the dignity it deserves, he betrayed the Kunlun gods."
He ...... What happened? ”
"Alas!" This time, it was Lao Wu who answered the question in Ding Xiaolan's heart, "What kind of consequences can a person who has been ordered to be killed by the Emperor of Heaven in the Three Realms?" ”
"Ahh Ding Xiaolan screamed, she suddenly realized that behind Qi Lu's cynicism, there were many painful memories hidden.
"Xiao Qi left Kunlun because of him, and I suffered with him." Lao Wu sighed again. "Although we have not been deprived of our immortal status, the gods have long regarded us as outcasts."
"Who is this person you are talking about? He, why do you want to hide your identity, is it because you are afraid that your identity will be exposed, and the gods will punish you? Ding Xiaolan had a series of questions in her mind.
Lao Wu replied with a wry smile: "They don't care about our life and death, because we are just small shrimps in Kunlun, and we don't matter at all." ”
"What's more, in that mysterious catastrophe, the gods of Kunlun no longer exist." Qi Lu smiled sadly and turned to leave, not letting Ding Xiaolan see the complicated expression in his eyes.
Ding Xiaolan looked at his back for a long time. "If you don't tell who you are, then who is this man who is cursed by the gods? Do you want to hide this from me? ”
"He is Hou Yi who shoots arrows for nine days." Qi Lu silently turned his head to look at Ding Xiaolan.
"Hou Yi ......" Hou Yi, the protagonist in the story of Chang'e running to the moon! If this is the case, then Qi Lu and Lao Wu have lived for more than thousands of years! Ding Xiaolan looked at Qi Lu's young face in surprise, there was no trace of old age, she couldn't believe what Qi Lu had just said.
But what she never expected was that Qi Lu's next words shocked her even more.
"Actually, Lao Wu and I are not soul masters, but we just borrowed this identity. And the real soul crosser is you. ”
"You...... You're kidding? Ding Xiaolan felt that this was the funniest joke she had ever heard in her life, she wanted to laugh, but she couldn't.
"I didn't lie to you, you are a descendant of God, the only descendant of Chang'e and Houyi in this world."
"No, it can't be!" Ding Xiaolan screamed like crazy: "You guys are lying to me!" ”
"We didn't lie to you." Qi Lu's gaze suddenly became very deep, and he silently walked to the desk and picked up the photo frame placed on it.
It was a photo of Ding Xiaolan and her father in her childhood, and it was also the only photo of her father that she did not have.
"Your father is a soul crosser."
"It's impossible." Ding Xiaolan became more and more confused, not to mention her father, even her uncle Chen Jixian and even the people in the family never told her that her father Ding Ruhai was a famous soul master.
What she knows is that her family has been a demon hunter for generations, because of this, her mother was killed by monsters when she was less than three years old, and her father was afraid that he would also be implicated, so he ruthlessly entrusted himself to his uncle Chen Jixian for adoption.
"Because of Hou Yi, I have been secretly helping his descendants." Qi Lu said with a sad expression: "But it's a pity that I just met your father, and he died at the hands of demons." And the youkai who killed your father, we still don't know who it is. ”
This is the first time that someone has told Ding Xiaolan about the cause of her father's death, and even if she asked her uncle before, Chen Jixian was vague. Ding Xiaolan couldn't help but prick up her ears and listened to Qi Lu's subsequent words.
"That time, your father was ambushed, and several monsters attacked him, and I happened to be bumped into by me who came to find Houyi's descendants, so I took action to eliminate those monsters for him. After learning that he was a soul crosser, considering that Lao Wu was still far away in Xinjiang at that time, I made an appointment with your father to meet again in three days......" Speaking of this, Qi Lu fell into the memories of the past again and stopped narrating.
"What happened, tell me quickly!"
"When I meet Lao Wu at the appointed time, I will go to find your father, only to find that he has died at the hands of demons. Body...... Teared into five pieces by some kind of blade-like claw......"
"Ahh When Ding Xiaolan heard this, she trembled, and in a moment the tears were like springs, her voice was choked, but she couldn't speak.
At this moment, Qi Lu had an impulse in his heart, and he wanted to step forward and hug Ding Xiaolan to comfort her, but he finally held back, and continued: "Because the time I have met your father is too short, I haven't had time to know his family history, or even his name. It wasn't until later, when I was tracking the whereabouts of the Semitic Hu Yu, that I accidentally came to your house and saw this photo of you and Master Ding, and I knew that you were his daughter. ”
Qi Lu paused for a moment and said, "It was only at that time that I understood why Uncle Chen had always refused to teach you spells, but asked me to teach you spells. Because only another soul master is qualified to teach a soul master who has not yet become a talent. ”
Ding Xiaolan was stunned when she heard this, and sat on the head of the bed in a distraction.
Lao Wu said: "Xiao Ding, in fact, don't blame your uncle for refusing to teach you spells, because people who meet the conditions for being a soul master are not only because you are a descendant of gods and demons. ”
"Could it be...... Do you think I'm stupid? ”
"That's not either." Lao Wu shook his head and said: "Not all the descendants of gods and demons can become soul masters, his first condition is that the life of the eight characters of his birthday is to kill the wolf!" ”
"Kill the wolf!" Ding Xiaolan's eyes dimmed, and she knew that when she was born, it was when the seven kills, greedy wolves, and broken armies in the three stars of Ziwei Doushu were in the tripartite and quadruple of the palace of life, which was the pattern of "killing, breaking, and wolf" as numerology said.
Folklore has it that a person born at this hour is destined for a great evil, which will bring disaster to those around him, and his relatives will not die well if they are with him for a long time.
Ding Xiaolan knew that she and her father were the destiny of killing wolves, and she had heard people say that it had brought harm, but she had always subconsciously thought that it was just a superstitious statement, and it was not until this moment that she understood that this was not a lie.
Lao Wu said: "You now understand your father's good intentions, he doesn't want you to follow his old path, he just wants you to live happily in this world like an ordinary person, instead of wandering alone all your life." ”
"But there is a providence in the dark, and you and I still met after all." Qi Lu smiled bitterly and said: "I understand your father's intentions, so avoid teaching you any spells, even if you have to do it, Lao Wu and I will only teach you some spells that can defend yourself." Because we don't want you to live in pain in the future. ”
Ding Xiaolan burst into tears again, she felt deep fatherly love, and at this moment, in her heart, she had completely forgiven her father.
Finally she came to her senses, stopped her tears, raised her head and said, "Since everything has become like this, then what I can do in the future is to redouble my efforts and become a qualified soul master to avenge my father." ”
"It's not as simple as you think." Qi Lu sighed and said: "Let's not talk about the difficulties and dangers you face after becoming a soul crosser, because you are originally the destiny to kill wolves, if you become a soul crosser again, it will be even worse, and then you will really have to live a miserable life." ”
Lao Wu also advised her: "You still have a choice." If you don't use it as a soul crosser, you just kill the wolf's life, and there is a way to slowly resolve it to avoid future troubles. If you insist on becoming a soul crosser, then there is really no way to resolve it. ”
Under the confusion and apprehension, Ding Xiaolan realized that she had come to a turning point in her fate, and she didn't know how to choose.
