Chapter Seventy-Two: Butterfly Love

Yi Xiaodie turned around and looked up at Qi Lu, her eyes as bright as peach blossoms lost their brilliance.

"That fire in the peach orchard of the Holy Mountain that year trapped all our companions in the sea of fire......" her face contorted, as if people were still immersed in that terrible day. After a long time, she slowly said: "Just when I was in despair, Lord Yu used her last bit of strength to save me and my brother from the fire. ”

Qi Lu's seemingly stone-like body shivered involuntarily.

Deeper in the night, there was a sudden and inexplicable beating sound outside the office, as if an evil ghost from hell was beating on a coffin. Qi Lu tried his best to control himself, listening to Yi Xiaodie's account of what happened on that tragic day.

That day, the peach orchard was as quiet as usual, and suddenly there was a terrible cry from the depths of the peach source. Fei Zhen was suddenly shocked, she heard that it was her son's voice.

Yi Xiaodie and her brother were perched among the peach leaves, and when they saw Yu Yu hurriedly leaving from under the tree, they knew that something was happening, and hurriedly spread their wings and followed her to see what was going on.

When he found his son, he found him lying in a pool of blood for a long time. Before she could pick up her son's cold corpse, she noticed smoke billowing behind her.

She couldn't help but look back in surprise, only to find that the garden was burning with a raging fire at some point, this devouring flame was blue and white, and she immediately recognized that it was a samadhi true fire that only the immortals were qualified to use.

Not good, someone is setting fires! At the beginning of the fire, she saw a dark shadow standing in a strange talisman array, from which all the samadhi true fire roared out and devoured the land.

Fei Zhen didn't expect that someone would dare to set fire to the peach orchard, so she hurriedly cast a spell to capture this arsonist on the spot. Unbeknownst to him, this madman's mana was extremely profound, and with just a slight wave of his hand, a fire phoenix flew out of his sleeve and severely injured him.

The flames carried by the fire phoenix instantly surrounded her, making it impossible for her to escape. Before she died, she found the two butterflies that were innocently involved around her, Yi Xiaodie and Yi Hanchuan, so she used up the last bit of immortal energy to take them out of danger, and because her true qi was exhausted, her body was burned to char in the blink of an eye.

"Qian'er......" Qi Lu couldn't cry, he couldn't control his emotions anymore.

This was the first time that someone had told him in detail about the cause of his wife's death, and he finally understood that his wife and children had been killed. He couldn't help but think of the tragic picture at that time, first of all, his son accidentally discovered the murderer's plot while playing in the garden, and he killed him; And his wife came later, and he was killed by the murderer!

"Tell me, who is the murderer?" Qi Lu screamed hoarsely.

"I don't know, I can't see what he looks like at all."

"You lied to me, how could you not see his appearance clearly at such a close distance!" Qi Lu's whole body and mind were surrounded by anger, and he grabbed Yi Xiaodie's shoulders and shook her vigorously, shaking her so hard that she could barely breathe.

"He's just a black shadow in a humanoid form, let alone his face, and I can't even see what kind of clothes he's wearing." Yi Xiaodie's eyes were full of apologies.

Qi Lu let go of his hand stupidly, and his whole body was trembling. He knew that Yi Xiaodie was telling the truth, imagine a person who could see the murderer's appearance, would the murderer allow her to live in the world? The only result can only be murder.

But Qi Lu still couldn't let go, his eyes were hollow, and he looked tired.

In a trance, how many past events seemed to be flying in front of his eyes as if they were yesterday. Only then did he realize that in this life, he had suffered far more pain and calamity than joy.

A voice of despair echoed in his heart, and he found that he was tired of this life, of the crimes that would never be eradicated, of the never-ending fighting and killing.

If he could turn back the clock, he would rather stay with his wife than ask about anything, but now it's too late to regret it.

Yi Xiaodie looked at him quietly, and suddenly said, "I understand your feelings, and you are the same as you were in Kunlun at that time." ”

Hearing this, Qi Lu felt that he had returned to that place in an instant, the Kunlun Divine Mountain that he loved and hated in his dreams.

"After the death of Lord Fei, you pretended to be strong on the surface, but I know that in the dead of night, you often sit alone on the top of the mountain, looking down at the world covered by a sea of clouds. Only then will you shed tears and you will suffer. ”

She chuckled, as if suddenly she saw hope again. "You know, I've been silently by your side and haunted around you. I know you didn't notice me, after all, there are too many fairy butterflies like me in the Holy Mountain. ”

Qi Lu was silent, he was in grief at that time, and he didn't pay attention to the movements around him at all.

"Even if you ignore me, I don't care. Because I truly feel your sorrow, your pain. I know you're tired of all this, but no matter what you do, I just wanted to be by your side quietly and share all your pain and sorrow. ”

As she spoke, Yi Xiaodie's emotions became excited again, "But you finally left Kunlun, how disappointed I was at that time." When I eavesdropped on the conversation of the gods, I learned that you went to the world to find the incarnation of Hou Yi again, and I really want to follow in your footsteps and look for you in the vast sea of people. But I can't, because I'm just an inconspicuous bug, and I don't have the ability to cross Kunlun's barrier at all. ”

Yi Xiaodie is slowly returning to normal, she raises her hand, and the clothes she took off are put back on her body, and then she sits down in front of the mirror and carefully manages her temples.

She continued: "Finally, the opportunity came, and the peach blossoms that occur once in 3,000 years are in full bloom. My brother found me, as long as I can devour the peach blossom, I will have the body of a half-immortal, and then we can also leave this lifeless and hypocritical fairyland. ”

"So you really broke the rules." Qi Lu spoke, he remembered, in the submarine cave in Hailong Village, he and Lao Wu saw two coffins. It turned out that it was a cage set up by the mother of the West King for these two butterfly demons, but it was a pity that he and Lao Wu couldn't figure out the strangeness of this at that time.

"I don't want to do it either!" Yi Xiaodie said with a crying voice: "But only in this way can I have the ability to leave Kunlun to find you in the world, and the injuries I suffered in that fire have not recovered, it tortures me night and night, I can't bear it, and I have no choice but to do it." ”

Qi Lu said coldly: "In this way, did you break the rules of heaven or was it my fault?" ”

"No, I didn't mean that." Yi Xiaodie was so anxious that she cried, "I really just want to see you!" Even if I look at you again in the red dust, I will be content. However, the fairies guarding the peach orchard immediately discovered our actions and reported the matter to the mother. ”

Qi Lu was gloomy, he silently calculated in his heart, this matter has been more than a thousand years ago, that is to say, these two poor butterflies have been guarded by the divine dragon assigned by the Queen Mother of the West for more than a thousand years. For such a long time, the world has long been vicissitudes of life, and the wind and clouds are changing, and they can only live in the depths of the dark caves.

Isn't this punishment too severe? Suddenly, Qi Lu felt a trace of pity in his heart.

This subtle change in Qi Lu's face did not hide from Yi Xiaodie, who had been peeking at him, she felt that she seemed to be getting closer and closer to hope, so she changed her tone and said, "I have been suppressed at the bottom of the sea for more than 1,350 years, do you know how I spent these difficult days?" I pray every day that I want you to hear my voice. I knew I was lying to myself, but I preferred to believe that there was a miracle. ”

She took a light breath and continued, "Every day I paint a portrait of the lady in the cave, imagining that I am her. Slowly, my appearance became more and more like that of an adult, and in the end, even my expression was vivid. Finally, one day, a strange thought welled up in my heart. Now that Lord Yu is dead, I am the only one who can take care of you instead of her. I want to repay her for saving her life, and I want to take care of you as well as she did, because I believe that I will not stay in that hellish place for the rest of my life. ”

Qi Lu's heart thumped, he didn't expect things to turn out like this. Over the course of more than a thousand years, Yi Xiaodie has mastered the art of change through her unwitting cultivation, eventually making her look like her wife.

"God has mercy on us after all. In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, our opportunity came. I remember that day, there was a once-in-a-lifetime earthquake in the sea, and the ground cracked, and magma hotter than fire came out of it, and huge waves were set off on the surface of the sea. The dragon guarding us was too busy rescuing the shipwrecked crew to notice the movement in the cave. ”

"So you took advantage of the earthquake to escape from your mother's prison?"

"No, it's just that my brother escaped."

"Yi Hanchuan, how did he escape?"

The shaking of the ground broke the seal attached to his cage, and Niangniang's spell naturally lost its effect, and he took the opportunity to escape from Shengtian. My brother wanted to rescue me, but the power of the rune written by the mother's own hand was too great, and he was not only unable to reveal it, but was injured by it. My brother had to give up the idea of saving me and came to the world alone. ”

Qi Lu sighed, only then did he understand that the Jiaolong of Yushan would leave with peace of mind when he saw his arrival, it turned out that this was all providence, and the master had already calculated that he would come here, and then released Yi Xiaodie from the prison of God.

What to do next, Qi Lu didn't know, he found himself very confused.

"I know I'm sorry for you, I shouldn't have hidden the truth from you, but I'm afraid you'll ignore me when you know everything. But I can't control myself, I don't want to lose you. I don't mind being a substitute for the concubine, even if it's just her shadow, as long as you don't dislike me, I'm willing to be by your side and serve you forever. ”

Yi Xiaodie burst into tears, tears falling to the ground like pearls with broken threads. She fell into Qi Lu's arms, releasing the longing that had been buried for thousands of years.
