Chapter 37 Du Tingxiu

"Do you know how many people died in the Du clan back then?" Roach asked, turning his gaze slightly, not wanting to bask in the fear of fate anymore.

"I don't know the specifics, there are no archives, I can only ask people of some ages, and this kind of memory will not be completely accurate. I estimate that the number of people including the disappeared children must be between 150 and 300. Han Yi replied.

"So many people!" Luo Qi said in a low voice, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly couldn't help but add, "How can their family be so good?" ”

"Their family has always been rich and prolific, and it can be regarded as a family talent." Han Yi said.

Luo Qi was reluctant to comment more on the characteristics of Du Zhengyi's family, "No matter what happens, the clan should not be exterminated, this is too extreme." If Du Tingxiu was really a traitor back then, if the Du family really followed him, but there is always a master and an accomplice in this kind of thing, how can he kill all the adult clansmen and take away the children of the Du family? ”

Han Yi didn't particularly care about this issue, "The way we treat traitors has always been cruel. ”

"So if you attack Du Zhengyi, you will also be recognized as a traitor by Qionglin?" Roach asked, as if casually.

Han Yi glanced at him coldly, "Of course." This is very reasonable, I said it a long time ago, I don't want to find Du Zhengyi for personal revenge. ”

Luo Qi nodded, made a very understanding expression, and continued, "Du Tingxiu is such a gentleman according to what you said, why would he suddenly want to kill his best friend? Even in the process of a friend becoming the head, raise the flag and rebel? ”

"I believe that it is not a personal vendetta, and a character like Du Tingxiu will never kill because of jealousy or love." Han Yi said casually.

Luo Qi suddenly remembered Mr. Shi, the old lady used to be Pei Shu's lover, she must also know Du Tingxiu, maybe also a friend. He didn't know the details, the only thing he knew was that they weren't together, and Mr. Shi, a strange woman who used to gallop in the sky, stayed in the black market all her life. Now that I think about it, things can be complicated.

He didn't speak, and Han Yi continued, "I think it may be that they had a disagreement on the major issues of right and wrong, and this disagreement finally tore their friendship. Since it happened when Pei Shu was about to become the first deity, it would be more explainable. Du Tingxiu found that Pei Shu would have the opportunity to completely implement the line he opposed, so he had to make what he thought was the right choice to kill Pei Shu. If Pei Shu died mysteriously, it would be fine, but Pei Shu was fine, and the matter was revealed. Du Tingxiu fled back to his family and tried to fight to the death. In fact, everyone knows that no matter how strong Du Shi is, there is no way to change the day with this point, so Du Tingxiu's final choice can be called tragic. ”

No, it's not like that.

Luo Qi's mind turned, and judging from his observation of Qionglin, Du Tingxiu's various characteristics indicated that he would definitely be selected and bound to become a lonely mountain guard. The logic of the wizarding world is that if a mage is strong enough to be restrained, he must be restrained. Because Du Tingxiu was not a Mind Mage, and he had been active in the core of Qionglin all his life, then even if he had more personal thoughts, he would not betray Qionglin, at least not to the extent of murdering Venerable and leading the people to rebel. Unless he can conclude that the Leader no longer represents the Chief, the Leader is no longer consistent with the magical world that bound him when he set the Entanglement.

In other words, he will only attack Pei Shu if he is a traitor to the wizarding world. That is, the real situation at that time must be that Pei Shu was a traitor, and Du Tingxiu and his family were the defenders of the real Qionglin. It's just that everything is the opposite in the eyes of the world, ordinary mages don't know those deep-seated secrets, and Pei Shu occupies the position of the head again.

But in this way, Luo Qi's curiosity was focused on Pei Shu. What did he do to challenge the Lonely Mountain Guards? Pei Shu has always been the best choice for the first deity, Luo Qi can be sure that the first deity can access the secrets of the depths of the lonely mountain, Pei Shu only needs to be patient and wait for everything to be logical. If Mr. Shi's departure from him has something to do with this matter, then did Pei Shu do something that his best friends and beloved can't tolerate?

Roach can't guess what he actually is, and who knows what an old man's complicated life can't wait for? It's not that Luo Qi is thick-skinned, he believes that he does have a chance to become the first, as long as he has the patience to wait for a hundred years, he can also go to the lonely mountain to pick up those secrets. But he can't wait a hundred years, because Du Zhengyi will never have a hundred years. Maybe Pei Shu also had something that made him impatient to wait a few more days, and Luo Qi could understand him.

Of course, what Han Yi said is also a little bit possible, that is, the two super ** masters were both for the grand blueprint at that time, and the contradiction between the two at that time was as great as the contradiction between Confucius and Voltaire. Then Du Shi, as the guardian of the old world, is gone, and Pei Shu, the reformer of the new world, should bring epoch-making changes to the mage world. But Roach has lived for so many years, and every day he listens to the great traditions of the mage, and life is like a backwater without twists and turns.

Luo Qi silently pondered these causes and effects, and on the other hand, the picture of Du Zhengyi finally cutting his neck could not linger. If that day comes, everything he does is meaningless, everything Du Zhengyi does for him is meaningless, everything is empty, what they do, plus or minus, and finally reduce the world of the two of them to an empty collection.

"What's wrong with you?" Han Yi looked at him and asked, "Why do you look so sad?" ”

Roach was taken aback and came back to his senses

Han Yi said, "You are quite sentimental, after so long, the dead people are rotten to the point that only bones are left." ”

"Leave me alone, I'm moved to cry even when I look at SpongeBob SquarePants. Let's get back to the more serious gossip. Luo Qi said calmly, "In this way, Du Zhengyi really looks like a descendant of Du Tingxiu." But what real evidence do you have? Even if you find out the evidence, there is a midwife who vows that Du Zhengyi is the descendant of Du Tingxiu, but as a head, what is the matter with affection and righteousness for his old friends? Can this shake Du Zhengyi's position and make Qiong Lin willing to re-evaluate Du Zhengyi for Sister Chu Yao? You might as well tell Du Zhengyi these words and ask him to kill Pei Shu to avenge his father, so that Qionglin can no longer protect Du Zhengyi. ”

When he said his last sentence, Han Yi almost knocked down the butter tea in his hand, and raised his head in surprise and glared at him.

Roach was expressionless, "Of course, this is only one of several possibilities. ”

What surprised Luo Qi was Han Yi's next sentence, "How do you know that Du Zhengyi won't come this far?" ”

Roach's eyes widened and he exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my God, I always thought I was the craziest!" Did you drink the wrong tea? ”

"Du Tingxiu disappeared from the wizarding world for a period of time before rushing to Qionglin to break with Pei Shu." Han Yi laughed slowly.

As if waking up from slackness, Luo Qi's heart sank, and all his instincts were telling him that no matter how surprised him was by what Han Yi said earlier, they were finally close to the key now. Du Tingxiu's final whereabouts must be directly related to the final break between him and Pei Shu. In other words, maybe Du Tingxiu discovered Pei Shu's secret during the final trip. "You found his last trace?"

Han Yi nodded and spit out two words, "Qianzhou." ”

"What?" Roach exclaimed in astonishment.

"What a coincidence, Du Zhengyi also sent someone to Qianzhou to investigate recently. Roach, you say, did he find something? Han Yi said proudly.

Roach I said Roach muttered in his own mind that it wasn't him who found something, it was us.

"How do you know? Who did he send? Everyone knows that Du Zhengyi is a lone ranger, and there is no one to send at all. ”

"Wen Lin, a small cousin under Fan Ya in the past, somehow got in touch with him. Chi Yu once told me that she betrayed Fan Ya, and she disappeared after Fan Ya was unhappy. They went to look for her, and it was said that she was helping Du Zhengyi with things, and she was in Qianzhou. Han Yi laughed, "It's too coincidental, isn't it?" ”
