Chapter 45 Folding the Sword as an Oath
"Mother, those who have insulted me will regret it, and then they will all fall at my feet like dogs!" There was a sinister smile in Xiao Shu's voice, and he was full of confidence in his so-called future.
Qi Lu, who was standing not far from him, seemed to sense some kind of ominous sensation at this moment.
Qi Lu couldn't help but sigh: "Little bolt, do you think things will be so simple and smooth?" There are indeed many bad people in this world, but it doesn't mean that all of them are bad people. You don't think about your mother's feelings, you should also think about the dead Uncle Li, right? ”
Xiao Shu's eyes dimmed, but he then said conceitedly, "Yes, he is the only one who cares about me." Sooner or later, I will catch the dog thief who killed him and avenge him. I will also erect a monument to him, so that future generations will admire his kindness. ”
"Alas, what a lovely and ridiculous idea, the world would be as simple as you think." Qi Lu said: "I have to regret to say, if you insist on going your own way, then I have to stop you today." ”
"You can't stop me!"
What answered him was the spirit rune in Qi Lu's hand that struck him like an arrow!
But this spirit rune had no chance to hit Xiao Bolt's body, Hu Lingyun was as fast as lightning in front of Xiao Bolt, turning this spirit rune into nothing.
Qi Lu sighed again: "You are not helping him, but harming him." Your child, sooner or later, more innocent people will die at his hands. ”
"I know, but I am his mother, how can a mother in the world watch her son being bullied."
Qi Lu was silent, Hu Lingyun didn't say anything wrong, his child did something wrong, and his parents would naturally punish him, but if someone else beat him, the parents would definitely be heartbroken, and even take revenge on the person who abused their child. This is the common nature of the love of mothers all over the world, whether it is a human, a demon, or a god, they will do it instinctively. It has nothing to do with identity or race, right or wrong.
Taking advantage of the moment when Qi Lu and Hu Lingyun were facing each other, Xiao Zhu suddenly swept up his body and disappeared with the cover of the night.
"Kid!" Hu Lingyun exclaimed, she was afraid that after tonight, there would be no news of Xiao Bolt.
But Qi Lu was more alert, and at the moment when Hu Lingyun was surprised, he had already chased in the direction where the small bolt disappeared.
It's a pity that Hu Lingyun's figure is faster, she not only blocked Qi Lu, but also made him feel that there was a strange force blocking his way, this force seemed soft, but it was unstoppable.
Only the power of a god can have this kind of terrifying magic, but Qi Lu felt that this power was more like an indescribable demonic aura, which was terrifying.
"Looks like I'm going to have to give it my all!" While speaking, Qi Lu hesitated whether to show his last hole card.
Just when Qi Lu was distracted for a moment, Hu Lingyun floated up strangely, only to see her jade hand wave her body and flip in the air, and she landed less than a meter away from Qi Lu.
As Hu Lingyun's figure slowly fell, her long black hair suddenly rose automatically without wind, and the true qi that suppressed everything gradually rose from her body.
The astonishing power brought by this true qi actually made Feng Qi Niang, who was standing on the sidelines watching the battle, open her mouth in surprise, and secretly praised herself in her heart: "What a powerful power, is this the difference between gods and demons?" ”
Feng Qiniang was completely impressed by the strength shown by Hu Lingyun, and in her heart, she began to worry about Qi Lu's safety again.
"I also know that you have a great relationship with Kunlun, but today, you can't touch a single hair of my son." Hu Lingyun stared at Qi Lu.
"Be a witness for me, if I die, you must be willing to pay for the coffin." Looking back at the nervous Feng Qi Niang, Qi Lu, who had a stern expression, showed his signature giggle.
"Qi Lu, stop fighting, you can't beat Sister Yun!" Feng Qi Niang said in a low voice, seeing that Qi Lu was indifferent, her eyes couldn't help but show pleading.
Qi Lu found a crystal teardrop flowing out of Feng Qi Niang's eyes. His heart ached.
"As long as he doesn't interfere in this matter, I won't embarrass him." When Hu Lingyun saw Feng Qiniang's sadness, she seemed to feel it in her heart, and she made a condition.
Qi Lu said: "I promised you, can you guarantee that the little bolt will never harm anyone again?" ”
Hu Lingyun was silent and did not respond.
Qi Lu knew that she couldn't answer, and she couldn't make a guarantee, so she had to sigh and say, "Then, our battle today is inevitable." ”
Feng Qi Niang suddenly blocked in front of the two, and she said to Hu Lingyun with a crying voice: "Sister Yun, please let him go." If you really want to kill him, then step over my corpse first! ”
Qi Lu was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect Feng Qi Niang to be desperate for himself. He was stunned and said softly: "Qi Niang, why are you doing this?"
Hu Lingyun was also stunned, her hand was slowly put away, and said, "Qi Lu, do you still have to insist on your will?" ”
Qi Lu was in turmoil for a while, and he didn't know what to do.
Just as the situation was developing towards an unpredictable state, a loud voice was suddenly heard: "Everyone, please stop! ”
The voice came from the distant night sky, and no one had seen it yet, but Qi Lu knew that the strength of the comer was extraordinary as soon as he heard it.
In the distance, the roar of a car was heard, followed by headlights.
Several luxury cars stopped in front of Qi Lu and the others, and a familiar figure walked out of the car, his eyes full of vicissitudes.
When Qi Lu saw the face of the comer, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile. And Hu Lingyun's face changed a little.
"Senior sister!" Although it is only a short title, his voice contains a myriad of complex feelings.
"Qingyun!" Hu Lingyun's voice trembled a little.
The pair of people who haven't seen each other for a long time finally met here, but neither of them expected to meet in this way and on such an occasion.
Feng Qiniang looked at the two of them, and couldn't help but think a lot, they were once the golden boy and jade girl of the Semitic clan, not only her, but even many people in the clan thought that they were a match made in heaven. It's just that the world is unpredictable, and the final outcome turned out to be that Hu Lingyun fell in love with a man in the mortal world.
"I heard you're already the patriarch?" The two looked at each other for a long time before Hu Lingyun asked softly to break the silence.
"Yes. But I will always be your brother. Hu Qingyun's words were quite bitter.
"It's all my fault, he killed many elders"
"I know!" Hu Qingyun interrupted Senior Sister's words, walked in front of Qi Lu with heavy steps, looked directly at him, and did not speak.
"What, do you want to intercede for your senior sister?" Qi Lu asked.
Hu Qingyun still didn't say anything, and after a while, he walked back to the same place. With a shake of his hand, the snow-white long sword that Hu Yuxuan had used appeared in his hand.
"This sword was once used by five patriarchs. It has witnessed the glory of the Semitic race, but it also hides personal ambitions. Hu Qingyun stroked the sword body and muttered to himself.
None of those present spoke, nor did they know what he meant.
I saw Hu Qingyun's face change, and he said loudly: "Today, I announce a decision as the patriarch. ”
As soon as these words came out, Qi Lu knew that he had come prepared, at least after careful consideration, he made this decision. But he did not make a sound, but waited for his next step.
"My sister's widow, that is, the child named Xiao Shu, his feud with the Semitic tribe will be written off from tonight. The Semitic people are not to trouble him in any way! If anyone outside of my own clan wants to pester him, I won't stand idly by. ”
Qi Lu shook his head and said, "Is it fair to the clansmen that you protect him like this?" ”
He knew that Hu Qingyun's next sentence was aimed at him, but Qi Lu was not afraid, he had experienced too many troublesome things, and he didn't care anymore.
Feng Qiniang didn't expect Hu Qingyun to say such a thing, she asked in surprise: "Could it be that those elders died in vain?" ”
"I'm not done yet." After Hu Qingyun said this, he paused again.
After a while, in the astonished eyes of everyone, he held the hilt of the sword in one hand and the tip of the sword in the other and said: "Take this sword as an oath, if Xiao Shui hurts anyone in his clan in the future, I will break him into ten thousand pieces!" ”
"Boom!" With a bang, a divine soldier was broken in two by Hu Qingyun and thrown to the ground.
"Hu Qingyun, you are really a patriarch!" Qi Lu sighed.
In doing so, he not only gave his senior sister enough face, but also stifled the development of the situation, and the image of a wronged and righteous man was displayed in front of everyone. Even though the clansmen have a lot of complaints about him, they can't shake his prestige in the hearts of the clansmen.
"Thank you, junior brother, take care!" Hu Lingyun's eyes were filled with tears again, and in her whispering, people were already far away.
"Yun'er, are you in such a hurry to leave, and you won't stay for me a little longer?" Muttering to himself, Hu Qingyun's face was full of disappointment.
He wordlessly looked at Hu Lingyun's pretty figure that melted into the night, and returned to the car lonely, tears quietly flowed from his face when the car door closed.
"Why, you don't even have time to say goodbye to me?" Qi Lu didn't see Hu Qingyun's sad expression, but he felt that he was left out.
"Is this the best ending?" Feng Qiniang looked at the car in the distance, and her heart was a little messy.
"Maybe." This ending was unexpected by Qi Lu, and he didn't know how to evaluate it.
Feng Qiniang asked tentatively: "Do you still want to catch the little bolt?" ”
"I don't know, it depends." Qi Lu replied honestly.
"I" Qi Lu wanted to add, but he didn't say it, because his attention was attracted by something shining on the ground.
It was a copper coin, although it was old, it was as new as new, and Qi Lu bent down to pick it up.
"Great Song Yuanbao?" Qi Lu looked at the four words on the face of the money, and immediately knew that it was a copper coin minted during the Southern Song Dynasty, which had been nearly nine hundred years ago.
"You can pick up money in the middle of the night, you're rich." Feng Qiniang wanted to ease the atmosphere and joked with him.
"It's a road, and there are cleaners who come to clean up the garbage every day, so the copper coins must have been left here tonight." Qi Lu suddenly said in a puzzled voice: "This is Liu Ting'er's carry-on belongings. ”
Feng Qi Niang asked, "How do you know it's Liu Ting'er's thing?" ”
"Liu Ting'er threw something at me before she died, I thought she wanted to hurt me with a secret weapon, but it turned out to be this thing."
Feng Qiniang thought about it carefully, and it was indeed as Qi Lu said, if Liu Ting'er really wanted to hurt Qi Lu, how could she be weak and powerless.
Qi Lu said: "Since she doesn't want to hurt me, she must want to convey some kind of message to me, what secret does she want to tell me?" ”
Feng Qi Niang sighed: "It's a pity that she is dead." ”
"Why did she keep the copper coins more than 800 years ago? Polished so brightly, it should be cherished. Qi Lu took the copper coin in his hand and examined it carefully, hoping to find some hidden mechanism, but after looking at it over and over for a long time, it was a copper coin, and there was nothing strange about it.
"Maybe if you know the origin of the copper coin, you will know the last words that Liu Ting'er wants to say to me." Qi Lu frowned and said, "Qi Niang, more than eight hundred years ago, did something big happen in the Semitic clan?" ”
"Big deal?" Feng Qiniang thought for a moment and said, "At that time, what could be called a big event was Sister Yun's becoming an immortal. ”
"What!" Qi Lu's eyes moved suddenly, and he said to Feng Qi Niang: "It seems that I can't sleep tonight, and I will have time to drink tea with you another day." ”
After speaking, Qi Lu jumped and swept straight into the night.
"What's so busy that you don't even have time to take me home?" Feng Qi Niang sighed faintly.
Qi Lu couldn't hear what she said anymore, and at this time he was already far away from Feng Qi Niang's sight.
