Chapter 153: The Death of the Ye Clan Patriarch
At noon, Nan He and Di He returned to the courtyard, the temperature outside was high and very hot, and after this circle, a thin layer of sweat was born on both of them.
After entering the door, Emperor He pinched and gave each of them a cleansing technique, and the moment the spell swept through the body, Nan He felt very comfortable.
At this point in time, Qi Harrier was no longer in the yard, she moved to the kitchen and began to cook lunch for everyone.
Speaking of this, Nan He didn't expect her to be able to cook, but if you want to discuss it carefully, in addition to her, Meng Yilu, Di He and Bo Yanhe can all cook.
There was nothing surprising that Meng Yilu would do her, and the other three would actually do, which made her feel very confused.
After the two of them sat down at the table, while Di He was pouring tea, Nan He asked this doubt.
"Di He, why do you know how to cook?" She frowned slightly, tilting her head to look at him.
Di He was putting the poured tea in front of her, Wen Yan raised his eyes to look at her, and when he withdrew his hand, he opened his mouth and said a nonsense that didn't make sense: "I learned it." ”
Nan He didn't react the moment she heard his words, she even frowned a little tighter: "What did you say?" ”
When she finished asking, she reacted.
......'s frowning brows suddenly dissipated, and she looked at him indifferently: "Are you serious?" ”
Di He smiled and nodded: "Seriously! How could I not be serious about the questions you asked! ”
As he spoke, he restrained his smile and frowned slightly: "Are you doubting me?" ”
At the same time as these words came out, there was even a hint of hurt on his face, which looked like Nan He had done something sorry for him.
Seeing this, Nan He raised his hand and covered his face: "Can you not talk to me like this?" ”
A smile reappeared on the corner of Di He's lips, he looked at her Nan He's extremely disgusted look for himself, and laughed: "Okay, I'm not like that, I'll answer your question well." ”
Hearing his words, Nan He took her hand off her face, and she first glanced at him to confirm that he didn't lie to her, and then completely turned her gaze on his face: "Then you can say it." ”
Nan He was really curious about the fact that he could cook, more curious than the reason why she learned about Qi Harrier and Bo Yanhe, so after saying that, she quieted down and sat up straight and waited for his answer.
Di He looked at her with a deaf look, laughed even more happily, smiled and smiled, and suddenly noticed that she had the intention of frowning, and hurriedly coughed and suppressed the smile.
"Actually, there is no particularly important reason." As he spoke, he reached out and picked up the teacup, brought it to his mouth and took a sip, looking like he was drinking water, but he actually paused deliberately, his pause whetted Nan He's appetite, and just when Nan He was about to ask him, his voice sounded again, "You should remember that I told you about my grandfather before!" ”
Grandfather?
Nan He thought about it.
"Little fairy?" She remembered that Di He said that his grandfather was a little immortal.
"Hmm." Di He nodded, put the teacup on the table, and then reached out to take the teapot and pour himself tea, "I can cook because of him." ”
Without waiting for Nan He to ask, he maintained the posture of pouring water, raised his eyes to look at Nan He and continued: "He forced me to learn." ”
When Nan He first heard it, she thought she had misheard, she turned her head sideways and leaned her ear towards him: "What did you say?" ”
Di He repeated to her word for word: "He forced me to learn." ”
The sound was not loud, but it was enough for Nan He to hear it very clearly.
The first time she could think she had misheard, but the second time she couldn't.
Sitting there stunned for a moment, she shrank back, looked up at Di He after she was done, and said reluctantly: "It turns out that what you just said is not teasing me!" ”
Di He put away his smile and said seriously: "Naturally not. As I said, I take you very seriously. ”
That's not what he said before, what he said was, treating the questions you asked, not treating you.
Di He may have been expressing something to her through this sentence, Nan He heard it, but he didn't pay attention to it, but directly turned the topic to Di He's grandfather: "Last time you told me that your grandfather was a little immortal, so why did he stay here and not return to the heavenly realm?" ”
"......" Di He looked at her and didn't speak.
At this time, there was no expression on his face, and he just looked at her like that, and no emotion was revealed.
Originally, he thought that Nan He could detect something when he heard his words, but now it seems that she has thought too much, and she didn't notice it.
Nan He also noticed his appearance at this time, stared at him for a while, and remembered what Bi Youhuai said to her after meeting Bi Youhuai before.
"Ah He, in fact, you believe in that little ghost's affection for you, you just don't believe in yourself, you don't believe that you have anything to make him like. You don't think you're good, he shouldn't like you. At the end of the day, you don't have confidence in yourself and don't think you deserve his liking. ”
Nan He thought about it later, and felt that what Bi Youhuai said was very reasonable, and she seemed to think so.
"Ah He, you are very good, he is also very good, if you really like him, and he likes you, I think you should try, try to make yourself confident, and then accept his like."
This is the advice that Bi Youhuai gave her later, Nan He thought about it and decided to accept her suggestion, but how to make herself confident, she didn't know yet, so now she still didn't want to talk to Di He about such a thing.
Seeing that he was only staring at himself and not speaking, Nan He frowned, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him, and then called his name: "Emperor He?" ”
At first, Di He ignored her, and it wasn't until she screamed twice more that he looked away and sighed imperceptibly.
Seeing that he finally had a reaction, Nan He didn't say anything more, just sat there, waiting for him to speak.
After a while, Di He raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and in the process, he began to talk to her about his grandfather.
Di He's grandfather is a little immortal, in the heavenly realm is still a god with an official position, decades ago, he experienced in the lower realm, met Di He's grandmother, fell in love with her at first sight, and then accompanied her in the human world for a few years, and the identity of the experience passed away.
When he returned to the heavenly realm, he remembered all the things, and after thinking about it carefully, he handed over his official position, removed the immortal bones, and resolutely came to the lower realm to find Di He's grandmother.
"Grandpa said that he didn't want to be a cold and cold fairy, he didn't want to live alone, he wanted to be by his grandmother's side, be a husband and wife with her, be an ordinary person with flesh and blood, who can express his true emotions, can love boldly, love with confidence, instead of cowering, and guard the heavenly rules that have no human touch at all."
When Di He said these words, he kept looking into her eyes, and Nan He was embarrassed to look up.
When he finished speaking, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's it! It seems that your grandfather is still a real person! She said this with some embarrassment, but her praise for Emperor He's grandfather was sincere and not a little false.
"Hmm." Emperor He nodded when he heard this, "Grandpa and father have always been people I admire. ”
After finishing speaking, Xu felt that it was inappropriate, and before Nan He could react, he followed up with a sentence: "Of course, there are also my master and master." ”
Hearing this, Nan He just looked at him and smiled, and didn't say anything more.
Di He's grandfather is indeed a very admirable person, just because he can give up his immortal identity for Di He's grandmother, eliminate immortal bones, and be an ordinary person, which makes Nan He admire very much.
Someone like her probably can't do that.
Thinking of this, she looked up at Di He, and her gaze only stayed on him for a moment, and then she looked away quietly.
Qi Harrier quickly made lunch, Di He helped bring out the food, and Nan He went to call Bo Yanhe and Yaoxi out to eat.
After the five of them sat down at the table, Di He took out a jar of wine from the storage bag, and said when he put it on the table: "This is the spiritual spring brew of Yangxu Palace, which is brewed with spiritual fruit and spiritual spring water, the degree is not high, and the usual fruit wine is the same, you can taste it." ”
Now it is the hottest time at noon, and the jar of Lingquan brew that Di He took out is still chilled, and it makes people feel very comfortable to drink.
The meal was eaten quickly, and by the end, everyone was drinking.
"Master, tomorrow we are going to go to the Ye clan land." After receiving Nan He's instructions, Emperor He told Yaoxi what they had agreed with Qi Zhen.
"Ye clan land?" Yaoxi frowned when she heard this.
She had heard of this Ye Clan, but because it was a demon clan, she hadn't learned about it, and now she couldn't guess why they were going there.
"What are you going to do there?" Since you can't guess, just ask.
Di He didn't answer her immediately, but turned his gaze to Nan He, originally wanting to ask her what she meant, but he didn't expect that Yaoxi also followed him to look over.
When her eyes fell on Nan He, she looked at her and asked, "What are you doing in the Ye Clan?" ”
It's similar to the question I just asked Di He.
Seeing that she asked herself, Nan He opened his mouth and told her from beginning to end.
"Do you suspect that there is something wrong with the death of the Ye clan patriarch?" After listening to what she said, Yaoxi asked.
"Hmm. There is this suspicion. Nan He nodded.
Originally, she didn't have any doubts about this, but when Qi Zhen told her about what he had learned in the Ye Clan, and after listening to Hongye and the mysterious man in the teahouse, she became suspicious.
"Do you suspect the origin of his demon pill?" Bo Yanhe also joined their topic.
Now there was only Qi Harrier alone, still sitting there stunned.
Although it was about her, she didn't know what to say because she didn't know anything about youkai, so she could only listen quietly to their discussion.
Hearing Bo Yanhe's words, she suddenly remembered that Qi Weiyuan gave her his demon pill before, so he didn't have a demon pill.
A demon body can only have one demon pill, but now Ye Qiufeng has a demon pill in his body.
She seemed to have heard from any of them before, that Ye Qiufeng's demon pill was given to him by the patriarch of the Ye clan, but listening to what they said now, she had doubts about this matter.
Because of this, they will go to the Ye clan to find the body of the patriarch, volunteering to give the demon pill is different from being avoided by someone The demon pill, as long as they see his corpse, they can know what the truth is, but ......
After Bo Yanhe finished asking that sentence, Nan He nodded, and then said, "According to Hongye's attitude when she mentioned her grandfather, I think how Ye Qiufeng's demon pill came to be is very doubtful. ”
Usually when Nan He is talking, Di He doesn't interject much, he likes to look at Nan He with a serious face to discuss with others, and only when he has to do so, or when he is asked by Nan He, he will speak.
So now he just sat there quietly and watched Nan He talk to them.
"So, are you going to find some clues on the Ye clan patriarch?" Yaoxi looked at Nan He and asked.
"Hmm. If his demon pill was really taken away by the red leaves, there would definitely be traces on his body, maybe there would be some clues, and if he really found it, he would save a lot of effort. The clues she said were about Ye Qiufeng, if they could find some clues about Ye Qiufeng at that time, it would be much easier to find out his identity.
Qi Harrier had been waiting for the right time, and when she saw that they had finally talked about the Ye clan patriarch again, she hurriedly opened her mouth and asked the question in her heart.
"But......" said first, and when all eyes were drawn to her, she continued, "If it is really what you think, wouldn't they have destroyed the corpses?" ”
If the body is well preserved, it is natural to find something, but if the body is destroyed, then nothing can be found.
The question she asked, Nan He had also considered it before, and after hearing Qi Zhen's plan at that time, she also asked, and then Qi Zhen told her that after the patriarch of the demon clan dies, his body will produce a layer of demon poison to protect the body, on the one hand, to prevent it from being destroyed by someone with intentions, and on the other hand, it can ensure that the body will not rot for ten thousand years, so this doubt is not necessary at all.
When she told them what Qi Zhen had told her, Qi Harrier had a new problem.
"Then if the patriarch of the Ye clan dies unnaturally, can his body still give birth to demon poison to protect his body?"
Nan He was very happy that she could think of this, she moved her gaze to Qi Harrier, looked at her and smiled: "This demon poison does not distinguish between the way of death, as long as he loses his breath and has no life, the demon poison will be born." ”
Hearing this, Qi Harrier just looked at her and nodded dumbly, and didn't say anything more.
Bo Yanhe, who was on the side, opened his mouth again: "Why do you want to ensure that the corpse will not decay for 10,000 years?" ”
When she first heard this, she felt very awkward, and she originally wanted to ask her directly, but because she was talking to Qi Harrier, she waited until now to ask this question.
For them, after death, people pay attention to entering the earth for peace, and when the body enters the soil, it slowly begins to decay, and finally becomes a pile of white bones, so she can't understand why she wants to ensure that the body does not rot for 10,000 years, instead of letting him enter the earth for peace, is it because the monster did not enter the earth for peace?
Of course, this is not the case, and for youkai, it is also important to be in the ground, but it is ......
Nan He sighed and said slowly: "Most of the patriarchs of the demon clan are half-immortals, and some have even become immortals, but they didn't go to the heavenly realm to serve and stayed in the demon realm. ”
First the demon pill that had been refined in their bodies, followed by the immortal blood, then the immortal bones, and even the immortal body.
"As far as I know, the patriarch of the demon clan is a half-immortal body, although he does not have the demon pill, his body is still a treasure to his people. Those demon poisons will ensure that his body will not decay for 10,000 years, and the spiritual power on his body and the immortal power in his body will be dispersed for the clansmen to absorb and cultivate. ”
When he was alive, he had to run around for his people, think about them, pave the way ahead for them, and when he died, he had to dedicate his last bit of strength and exert his last bit of use, until his body was squeezed dry, and he could really be buried in peace.
She heard all of this from Qi Zhen, this is an internal matter of the demon clan, and outsiders don't know about it.
After listening to her say this, the few people sitting at the table stopped talking, and after a long time, Nan He's voice sounded again.
"If it's possible, I'd like to change the rules of the demon clan."
Her voice was not loud, but several people at the table could hear it clearly, and there was a sudden sense of surprise in her heart, only Di He was alone, and she didn't react much.
Originally, Yaoxi wanted to say something, but Nan He didn't want to listen to their statement at all, and directly re-opened the topic to the matter they had been discussing before.
"Tomorrow we will follow Qi Zhen to the Ye clan land, it may take a little time, during this time, please watch them." She said this to Yaoxi.
"Hmm. Rest assured. Yaoxi swallowed all the words she wanted to say back into her stomach, and only opened her mouth to respond to her request.
After she answered, Nan He turned his gaze to Bo Yanhe and Qi Harrier, and first said to Qi Harrier: "If we can, we should be able to find out Ye Qiufeng's identity when we come back this time." ”
Qi Harrier suddenly felt happy in his heart, looked at her with joy and surprise on his face and asked, "Really?" ”
Nan He nodded: "Really." ”
After saying this, she felt that something was wrong, so she said again: "Of course, it may still be impossible to find out, I just give you an expectation, you have to be mentally prepared." ”
