Chapter 41: Death Comes
After Yi Hanchuan returned to the hotel, he went to the kitchen to find food. Hong Yi sneered behind him and said, "Big brother is really calm, you can eat with peace of mind with this heavy smell of blood." ”
Yi Hanchuan replied disapprerovingly: "We are used to eating human flesh, of course you are not suitable for this mouthful." ”
Hong Yi bent down to move the jar aside, and then used a spell to throw all the corpses into the corner of the village, then clapped his hands and said, "Don't you feel a little more comfortable breathing air?" ”
Yi Hanchuan smiled noncommittally, turned around and took out the vegetables from the refrigerator that the villagers hadn't had time to take away, and made a hearty dinner.
"Big brother, I knew that your spells were amazing, but I didn't expect that your cooking level was also top-notch." Hong Yi was amazed.
"Don't be poor, go and call your brothers over for dinner."
Hong Yi was just about to leave when Yi Hanchuan stopped him again, "Call Qi Lu and Lao Wu to have dinner together." ”
At this time, Hu Lei happened to be passing by the kitchen with nothing to do, and when he heard Yi Hanchuan instructing Hong Yi, he said a little strangely: "Why do you let those two guys eat ready-made?" It is better to wait for them to come to us when they are hungry. ”
"You, you just can't tolerate people." Yi Hanchuan glanced at him and said with a tone of lesson: "Do you think I don't want these two guys to die early?" But now are difficult times, and we can only help each other in the same boat, otherwise the enemy will have every chance to break through. ”
"What the eldest brother said is very true." After Hong Yi replied, he went upstairs to call Qi Lu.
At the dining table, Qi Lu was stunned as soon as he wanted to raise a glass to thank Yi Hanchuan, "Why didn't Hu Qingyun come, isn't he hungry?" ”
Hong Yi said: "I have already greeted him, but he said that he wanted to enjoy the snow and did not want to come. ”
Hu Lei said sarcastically: "Leave him alone, this guy is a psychopath, and sooner or later he will drag us down." ”
Seeing that the other monsters also had disdainful expressions, Qi Lu suddenly felt a little sad. Hu Qingyun, whom he knew before, can be regarded as a hero, although he has done a lot of bad things, but it is because of the emotional stimulation that he has become extreme, but now he has become so down-and-out that people feel a little pitiful.
The atmosphere at the banquet was very harmonious, but Qi Lu knew that this was just a superficial illusion, so he was always vigilant. But Lao Wu forgot his form as soon as he saw the wine, and kept raising his glass to drink with other monsters, as if he had forgotten that these guys were all people who wanted to kill him before.
By the time the banquet dispersed, Lao Wu was already drunk, and Qi Lu carried him back to the room and rested himself. Just as he was about to close the curtains and sleep, he saw Hu Qingyun isolated in the moonlight, with the familiar indifference in his eyes.
Qi Lu couldn't help but move in his heart, turned around and went downstairs to chat with him.
"Mr. Hu, don't you feel cold when you stay outside so late?"
"For us youkai, will the cold and heat have any effect?" Seeing Qi Lu, Hu Qingyun's eyes felt a little warm, and his expression also returned to his senses.
"That being said, if you don't fit in with a group, aren't you afraid of your companions talking about you behind your back?"
"So what?" Hu Qingyun said nonchalantly: "You know that I am not a person with them, and my purpose of becoming an immortal is just to be with Yun'er." ”
Qi Lu bowed slightly, and said without hesitation: "It's a pity that even if you become a god and I are the same family, I'm afraid that Hu Lingyun will not be with you." ”
"Yes." Hearing Qi Lu's direct words, Hu Qingyun was not angry, but said a little desolately: "I really hope to go back to the past and start everything again." Even if you can't get Yun'er's heart, at least you can be happy with her like a family. ”
"Why don't you go back to the mountains and forests after this crisis is over, if you cultivate quietly, maybe Fairy Hu can forgive you." Seeing his sad appearance, Qi Lu hurriedly took the opportunity to persuade him.
"One wrong step, one wrong step, I don't have a chance to turn back now." Hu Qingyun sighed and said, "Why is it that after getting along with Yun'er for a thousand years, it can't match the relationship established by a human being in a short time?" ”
"Didn't I answer you about this question before?" Qi Lu said with emotion: "Some people can only be friends forever, not partners. ”
Hu Qingyun's eyes dimmed, and he turned his face to the distant night sky and stopped talking.
Qi Lu saw that the direction of his gaze was in Qingqiu, and after a little hesitation, he said, "Do you still miss your senior sister again?" ”
"You teach me how to not want to. She can not love me, but that doesn't stop me from continuing to love her. ”
Qi Lu felt that there was cotton blocking his chest, and he didn't know how to comfort the sad person in front of him for a while, so he had to be silent and silently accompany him to watch the night scene.
After a long time, Hu Qingyun regained his mind and said, "I don't know if I can still see her, maybe I won't be able to see her for the rest of my life, right?" Or maybe after I die, Yun'er can forgive everything and see me. ”
Qi Lu persuaded: "It's about to be the New Year, let's think of some happy times, don't say these big words." ”
Suddenly, Hu Qingyun stared at Qi Lu with his sharp eyes, and his sharp eyes made Qi Lu feel very uncomfortable, and just when he wanted to change the topic, Hu Qingyun spoke again, "I don't like Qingqiu, but I will do my best to protect it and not let it be harmed in any way." ”
Qi Lu knew that he was because of Hu Lingyun, and just as he wanted to speak, Hu Qingyun said in a hurried tone: "Do you know why I haven't gotten rid of the six evils now?" ”
"I want to hear about it."
"If that demon's plot succeeds, this world will be destroyed, and Qingqiu will cease to exist, or he will transform into something else according to his will."
Although Hu Qingyun didn't finish his words, Qi Lu knew that he was worried that he didn't want Hu Lingyun to be hurt in any way, so he nodded and responded: "I don't want to see such a situation happen, so I agreed to join hands with you to smash this guy's conspiracy." ”
"I've known you for more than ten years, and although I didn't know you were a hidden god in the world at that time, I also found that you were a lone person. If it were another god, I am afraid that I would have been waiting for this day to come, right? ”
"Don't think of me as so noble, I just instinctively sensed that this was not the Emperor's intention, so I had to stop it."
Hu Qingyun asked, "What do you want to express?" ”
"From what I know about the Emperor of Heaven and his old man, if he wants to resurrect the gods, it will never be at the expense of this world."
Hearing that Qi Lu's statement was consistent with what he thought in his heart, Hu Qingyun was no longer polite, and went straight to the point and said: "If my prediction is correct, this demon is exercising his own conspiracy under the pretense of the will of the gods, then before his ambition is realized, he will kill everyone who knows." ”
"Theoretically, this is the case, but this guy's identity is still a mystery, and even Manzhu, who has fought with him a few times, can't even know his origin, and we want to deal with him, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
"But he's taken preemptively against us now, and I'm worried that this will become our grave."
Qi Lu said disapprerovingly: "Mr. Hu doesn't need to be so pessimistic, I have always believed that the magic is one foot high, and the road is one foot high." ”
"I hope it's as you say, but a strong hunch tells me that the demon didn't design this cage simply to restrict our freedom, but to want us to die here."
Qi Lu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, the fox demon who has cultivated since ancient times has the ability to predict the future, this is a talent that other monsters and even most gods do not grasp, Hu Qingyun said such a thing, presumably he must have sensed the danger, so Qi Lu asked tentatively: "With his mana, he can kill us without this way, are you too worried?" ”
"Mr. Qi doesn't know, I think he is despising us. If you have seen a cat catch a mouse, it will keep teasing the mouse, frequently let go of the prey it has in hand, and then catch it back until the mouse is exhausted and can't run. ”
"Even God dares to tease, he's too arrogant." Qi Lu gasped, since ancient times, he would respect the enemy and give him a decent way to die in battle. But this demon is really as Hu Qingyun said, it is simply too insulting, only a guy who is extremely cold in his heart would do such a thing.
"Yes, we have encountered a secretive enemy, who is mad to the point of unimaginable. So you have to use all your ingenuity to lead everyone out of this terrible illusion and defeat him. ”
"He completely crushed us in terms of strength, so we couldn't crack the illusion. Although the heavens and the earth are not complete, and the artificially created illusion naturally has flaws that can be resolved, but now I have no clues, and it is not easy to successfully escape from his clutches. Qi Lu reluctantly admitted the problems he was currently encountering.
"I believe in your abilities." Hu Qingyun said in an extremely sincere tone: "I hope you can put aside your prejudices and join hands with me and even a few of my companions to stop this disaster." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to Qi Lu, and at this time, he regained his former heroic temperament.
Qi Lu hesitated for a moment, then reached out to hold Hu Qingyun's big hand, he knew in his heart that even if there were a thousand reasons, he could only trust these monsters at the moment, because they were all grasshoppers tied to a rope.
The night breeze blew, quite chilly, Qi Lu looked at the narrow black shadow of the statue of Emperor Jun behind Hu Qingyun, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Let's go, can we go back and rest?"
"Okay, tomorrow I will accompany Mr. Qi to find clues."
But something unexpected happened to Qi Lu, and the next morning, he heard the door "bang" in his sleep and was vigorously pushed open.
Qi Lu was shocked in his heart, knowing that the person who came would never be Lao Wu, because he would not open the door so rudely. Qi Lu couldn't help but shake up, quickly opened his eyes and got up from the bed, and saw that Yi Hanchuan was the first to come in, and several other monsters were behind him. Not only that, but even Lao Wu came in with them.
Qi Ludun knew that something was happening, and hurriedly asked, "Is there an accident?" ”
"Yes." Yi Hanchuan said a little desolately: "Hu Qingyun is dead, he was killed. ”
"What?" Qi Lu was shocked, he was fine last night, and even recovered all his former demeanor, why did he lose his life in a blink of an eye?
