Chapter Seventy-One: The Gentle Trap
After Qi Lu went down the mountain, he wandered on the street for a long time as if he had lost his soul, and finally returned to the Kunlun office. It was dark and windy outside, but inside the office was bright and warm.
But when Qi Lu walked into the office, he was shocked by the scene in front of him and stammered, "You...... You ......"
He was reclining in his chair, sewing his socks with a needle and thread, bowing his head slightly, looking extremely serious. Her appearance is still so beautiful, but her long hair is as pale as snow.
Qi Lu stood at the door in a daze, his lips kept squirming, but he couldn't say a word anymore. He was extremely shocked in his heart, and he couldn't believe that his hair would turn white in just a few days after he left.
"You're back." She didn't raise her head, her eyes lowered, she gently bit off the freshly sewn thread, and said, "There is freshly simmered soup on the table, you can drink it while it's hot." ”
Qi Lu was stunned for a moment, but then thought that her mana was profound, and the ability of the unpredictable prophet was naturally not a problem. So he calmly sat down at the table and drank the soup.
"Aren't you afraid that I've poisoned the soup?" Halfway through eating, Qi Lu suddenly heard Yu Yu say something faintly and gloomily.
Qi Lu replied nonchalantly: "This is impossible, you know that under the tempering of my mother, I have long been impregnable to all kinds of poisons." ”
"Later...... I'm not with you, and I hope that when you come home every night, someone will make you soup. ”
Qi Lu put down the spoon in his hand and knocked on the table, with a dull sound, he looked straight at her without speaking, and the expression in his eyes was very complicated.
"There is an allusion in the history of mankind, that there is a man who died because of a traitor, and during his escape, he was worried about when his father's and brother's revenge would be avenged, so that he turned white overnight. I thought it was just a human fabrication, but now I know it's all true. ”
Qi Lu didn't look away, not wanting her to see a hint of stinging in his eyes instantly.
He has long heard the story of Wu Zixu's white head overnight during the Spring and Autumn Period, if Wu Zixu is anxious for revenge and is sad about his white head, but what is the reason for it?
"What happened to make you worry like this, can you tell me?" Qi Lu finally stabilized his emotions, and suddenly felt a little guilty.
"From the moment you placed me in my body and the butterfly spirit body was withdrawn, I knew that you would never go to Qingqiu with me......" The concubine cried, tears like pear blossoms sprinkled all over the pair of stockings in her hand.
Qi Lu looked at her white jade flawless face, and an inexplicable anger suddenly flashed in his eyes, and finally he let out a long sigh and said, "Yes, I won't go to Qingqiu with you...... Because you are not my wife. ”
Before the words fell, only a thunderclap was heard outside the window in the darkness, and a rare lightning flashed in front of him, like a ghost, and the lingering fragrance in the room was still there, but the warm scene disappeared.
"Life and life, life and life, morning and twilight, and admiration."
She held back her tears, then burst into laughter, repeating the phrase over and over again.
"Don't read it!" Qi Lu suddenly roared, looking at this extremely familiar face, tears flowed out of his eyes.
For a moment the room fell into a silence that was more terrible than death.
After a long time, the fake concubine said softly: "When did you find out that I am not the real concubine?" ”
"When I looked at the body of the Semitic spy Hu XVII, I just started to have a clue."
"Yes, I did kill him. But I didn't have any eyewitnesses at the scene when I killed him, how did you know that? ”
"I found the phosphorus powder on the butterfly's wings from the mouth of his corpse." Qi Lu calmed down and said, "At first, I didn't know why he was like a murderer before he died, maintaining his facial movements when he wanted to absorb the true qi of others. ”
"You've figured it out now?"
"Yes. He doesn't really want to suck your true qi, because that's impossible. Qi Lu said: "He is based on the instinct of secret agents for many years, and before he dies, he wants to leave a little clue about the murderer for the living." ”
"Knowing this truth, I will follow this thinking and deduce, why did the first few elders all absorb the true qi before they died, but Hu Seventeen did not? That's because his cultivation is too low, and his true qi is not enough for you to use. And why didn't you use spells to kill him with one palm like a martial arts master? Because you want us to mistakenly think that Hu XVII's death has nothing to do with those elders. ”
"And you killed Hu Qiqi, it was not in your plan, it was just because when you followed me to Ding Xiaolan's village, Hu Qiqi inadvertently discovered your whereabouts. You're worried that he's going to reveal this secret to me, so that's why you're killing people. ”
"The more I cover it up, the more suspicious it becomes." The fake concubine sighed softly.
"If it were someone else, and seeing the residual phosphorus powder on Hu Qiqi's tongue, he wouldn't think of the identity of the murderer." Qi Lu said softly: "It's a pity that Lao Wu and I are both from Kunlun, of course we know the origin of phosphorus powder. What's more, Lao Wu and I have long known that Tianfu Palace is run by a pair of twin brothers, and if you absorb their spirits, you should naturally be two people. ”
"Yes, my poor brother Yi Hanchuan has been helping me and wants to take all this on him."
Qi Lu nodded and said, "I was indeed confused by Yi Hanchuan for a while, but it was when you killed the last elder that I completely woke up. ”
"But my brother has deliberately committed murder in front of the family of the deceased, how do you see through the hidden mystery?"
Qi Lu briefly told the fake concubine what had just been solved, paused, a trace of sadness appeared on his face, and said, "You were ordered by the old woman to seize the contents of my box, right?" ”
The fake concubine nodded silently.
"But the last time Hong Yi trespassed into the office, he almost succeeded, why did you help me get the box back?" This is a doubt that Qi Lu has not figured out until now.
"Because...... I don't want to be one of them, I just want to be with you, forever......"
Qi Lu was stunned, and at this moment he almost had a feeling of wanting to hug her into his arms, but after all, he couldn't help it, and he muttered: "I'm so stupid, I always think that the office is full of charms and magic circles, and any demons can't enter." So when I came back from Hailong Village and saw that you had cleaned up the house, I easily believed that it was Qian'er who had returned. But who would have thought that you were a fairy butterfly, and you violated the ban of the sacred mountain and stole the peach blossoms, and were contaminated with fairy energy, so naturally you would not be afraid of these bluffing things. ”
"It's a pity, I almost succeeded......" The fake concubine's tears couldn't stop falling.
"Yes, you are very good to me, and you know any secrets between me and Qian'er, if you don't kill those kindred, Lao Wu and I will not suspect you until now." As he spoke, the confusion in Qi Lu's heart had disappeared, and he stared at the fake concubine and said, "Now please tell me, who are you?" ”
"I'm a traitor to Kunlun, a butterfly demon who has cultivated into a fine spirit, don't you know?"
"Of course I do, I just want to know your name."
"Hahaha!" The fake concubine laughed again, and there were still tears on her face. "You really don't remember me, do you?"
Qi Lu shook his head and sighed: "Even on the day when the Sacred Mountain became a ruin, there were still hundreds of butterflies that survived, how can I remember which of them you are." ”
"yes, I almost forgot." The fake concubine's face stiffened, and he paused for a long time before saying: "Brother is right, how can the gods of Kunlun care about us lowly creatures, I am stupid and extravagant to ask you to remember me, what a big joke." ”
Hearing this, Qi Lu's eyes shrank suddenly, and he seemed to remember some past events that had accumulated in the depths of his memory.
"Okay, I'll satisfy your curiosity right now!" The fake concubine stood up suddenly, and a pair of slender hands waved softly.
Qi Lu was taken aback, although he knew that he would have a fight with her, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, Qi Lu's hand subconsciously stretched into his arms.
As the fake concubine's hand drew a beautiful orchid finger in front of Qi Lu, the clothes on her body fell down like a light flocculent, and the seductive carcass/body appeared in front of Qi Lu again.
But Qi Lu would no longer be tempted by her, he sighed lightly and said, "When did Kunlun have the habit of naked/physical duels?" ”
The fake concubine smiled sadly, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then turned around in front of him, on her smooth and delicate jade back, there was a slender red line from top to bottom on her white left shoulder, in fact, it was just a very inconspicuous scar.
Qi Lu's eyes looked directly at the slender scar, completely stunned. He couldn't speak for a long time with his mouth open, and after a long while, he shook his head hesitantly and said, "No, it's not true! ”
As he spoke, the red thread cracked, and a wing grew out of it, the unique butterfly wing of the Kunlun Pan butterfly. Immediately afterward, another wing grew on the right side of her body.
The beautiful butterfly wings against the snow-like skin and snow-like long hair added a sense of pity to her originally surprisingly beautiful appearance.
"Come to think of it, I'm Yi Xiaodie." In the soft light, Yi Xiaodie's eyes flashed, and she stood in front of Qi Lu with her head down, a strange smile blooming at the corner of her lips.
"Why, why is it your ......" Qi Lu sat alone for a long time, and the beauty sighed alone, sounding lonely and melancholy in the dark night.
That year, when Qi Lu said goodbye to Hou Yi and returned to Kunlun Shenshan to meet his wife and children, he accidentally pinched a butterfly hovering around him. Under the scolding of his kind-hearted wife, Qi Lu used his own immortal energy to save the butterfly.
The half of the butterfly wings that had been crushed with the palm of his hand, although he had been restored by immortal energy, would still leave a trace, which corresponded to the light red scar he saw just now, and it turned out that the butterfly was Yi Xiaodie who was now floating in front of him!
Qi Lu also finally understood why every time she had sex/sex with her, she would turn off the lights or ask herself to close her eyes. This is not to add to the interest between husband and wife, but for fear of finding out that she is the poor butterfly!
