Chapter 36: Obsession

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

Hou Qingyu was expressionless, sat back in the chair, picked up the teacup next to him, and took a sip slowly. He knew in his heart that Pan Xincheng would be surprised when he learned about this, and he would definitely need some time to connect the fragmented thoughts in his mind, and he didn't interrupt him for a while.

Just as Hou Qingyu thought, Pan Xincheng's mind was like a storm crashing on the shore, and he was not only surprised, but even a little stunned. It seems impossible to say that Hou Qingyu, who has been friends with him for more than 20 years, is joking nonsense, but what Yu Shuang herself said is exactly the same as it, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Moreover, Pan Xincheng also asked himself, this military officer of Yulin City has always been unsmiling and never jokes.

After pondering for a long time, Pan Xincheng said slowly: "What about the third vision?"

Hou Qingyu said lightly: "This third kind of vision is something that ordinary people do not have, one is invulnerable, and the other is extremely long-lived. If the sincere brother is unsure, he can give him a cup of poisonous wine, whether he has a vision, you can know it at a try. ”

Pan Xincheng frowned, his eyes flashed, and he said, "Are you so sure that Shuang'er is the unicorn?"

Hou Qingyu smiled faintly and said resolutely: "If not, I will make a wish for a life." With that, he looked relaxed, picked up the teacup and drank the tea himself.

Pan Xincheng looked at Hou Qingyu quietly, even if he didn't believe it at first, he has already believed most of it now. I have been friends with Hou Qingyu for many years, this person has very experience, and he has only known people, and he is far inferior. In the past 20 years, the people of Yulin City have been able to live and work in peace and contentment, and almost all of them have been progressed by the city lord according to this person's strategy.

Pan Xincheng sighed slowly, his expression was confused, and he fell into deep thought again.

"Qilinzi, Qilinzi......" Yu Shuang stood outside the door in a daze, her expression was stiff, with a hint of horror and amazement, she read two sentences at the bottom, and gradually fell into contemplation.

In the hall, Hou Qingyu put down the teacup in his hand and said slowly: ""Qilin Persona" is written by the third 'Dao Venerable' Xiangwu. Saying this, a trace of sadness suddenly appeared in his eyes, he looked at Pan Xincheng, lowered his voice and said: "That young man has a lot of connections with you, and he also knows that Brother Xincheng is annoyed. Now I have told you all the original intention of my visit, how to decide, and please be honest and considerate. ”

Pan Xincheng's face was pale, and a thousand thoughts were flooding in his mind, sweat on his forehead, and he was panting slightly. His lips moved slightly, as if words were on his lips, but he didn't say anything.

Hou Qingyu's face was also faintly pale, and he quietly looked at Pan Xincheng beside him, with a complicated look in his eyes, as if he attached great importance to the decision he made, but after all, he was still a little more unbearable.

He stood up suddenly, let out a long sigh of relief, and prepared to leave. After only walking a few steps, Pan Xincheng got up and stopped him.

Pan Xincheng looked excited, facing Hou Qingyu, suddenly clasped his hands into fists, and said earnestly: "Brother Qingyu, you are well-informed and knowledgeable. Please look at the relationship we have had with for many years, and try to save the next place. After saying that, he bent down deeply and bowed heavily to Hou Qingyu, and his body did not straighten up for a long time.

Hou Qingyu sighed softly, helped Pan Xincheng up, with a complicated expression on his face, hesitated for a moment, and said faintly: "Brother Xincheng, please get up, you and I have been friends for many years, there is no need to be like this." As for how to save it, please show it to my brother. ”

Pan Xincheng said straightforwardly: "Shuang'er's life is my life, saving Shuang'er is saving me, please brother Tai save Shuang'er, crack the vision of Qilinzi, even if it is liver and brain, I will definitely repay this kindness." ”

Hou Qingyu pondered for a long time, but finally shook his head, and said with a difficult face: "It's not that there is no way to crack it, but it is really beyond our ability, his father Yu Qiong knows the method of cracking, and even he can't do it, let alone us?"

Pan Xincheng hesitated for a moment, but still refused to give up, and said: "Please show me brother, even if you are broken, you have to do this for your master." ”

Hou Qingyu pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said slowly: "Brother Xincheng, as far as I know, there are only three ways for Qilinzi to crack the vision, but all of them are difficult to hinder, with all due respect, although Brother Xincheng's Taoism is high, it can also break through the Six Realms" Speaking of this, he suddenly sighed, slowly stepped forward, and sighed: "If Daozun Yuqiong does not pass away, with his Dao magic powers, maybe there is still hope to break it." ”

Pan Xincheng had a heart, Huo Di was cold, looking at Hou Qingyu's back in a daze, with mixed feelings in his mind, tears surging in his eyes, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Hou Qingyu seemed to have thought of something, turned around, looked at Pan Xincheng, and said quietly: "Even if you really break this unicorn vision, you are afraid that it will be difficult for Shuang'er to be the same as ordinary people." ”

Pan Xincheng's heart ached, but he still couldn't help asking, "What does Brother Tai mean?"

Hou Qingyu said straightforwardly: "According to the records in the book, the first Daozun Sword Commander, his appearance is not good, his form is ugly, and his face is as hideous as a monster. ”

Pan Xincheng was taken aback, and said curiously: "Could it be that the sword is a hero, and it is the same as Shuang'er, but it is born of a unicorn egg?"

Hou Qingyu looked at Pan Xincheng quietly, nodded slowly, and said: "Yes, the word about Qilinzi is not widely spread in the world, so few people know that Jian Zhu is also Qilinzi." It's just that based on the inference of the third Dao Venerable Xiangwu Woman, the sword is hatched by the 'electric egg' produced by the electric unicorn. In addition, the sword hero has recreated the world, and the world will not spread news that is unfavorable to him. ”

"I see. Pan Xincheng's face gradually became bloody, and he was thoughtful.

Hou Qingyu continued: "Qilinzi is destined to be lonely for a lifetime, but there is a compromise method below, which will neither hinder the Pan Mansion nor affect the world. I wonder if Brother Xincheng is willing to listen?"

Pan Xincheng's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he looked back at his senses for a moment, his face was full of surprise, and he said: "Really, I can't ask for it, I want to hear it in detail." ”

Hou Qingyu smiled slightly, and said lightly: "As I said, since he is destined to be lonely for a lifetime, then we can take advantage of the situation and let him live alone in the lonely mountain, ignoring the world." After all, there are not many cultivators in the world who have heard of the Qilinzi, so maybe they can enjoy a peaceful life and die a good life. ”

"Good way!" Pan Xincheng immediately rejoiced, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, his face sank again, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Shuang'er has been killed by Chunxuan since he was a child, and his life is miserable, entrusted by his master, he came to me, how can he let him leave Pan's Mansion and wander around? Besides, if he leaves Yulin City now, there will be continuous killing in all parts of the world, wouldn't he be told to send him to death?...... It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate. ”

Hou Qingyu seemed to be unfinished, but after pondering for a while, he stopped talking, and said again: "Even so, there is really no way to do it." It must be known that Qilinzi has strange abilities, and living in the Brother Tai Mansion is by no means a long-term solution, and in the long run, its anger will leak, and it will definitely implicate the Pan Mansion, and even the Yulin City will suffer from unwarranted disasters. Although he is not a cultivator, he also knows a thing or two, and the morality of a cultivator is like the sky, so don't risk the disapproval of the world. ”

Pan Xincheng sighed slowly, and could hear that this had the meaning of advice, and finally bowed to Hou Qingyu, and said quietly: "Thank you, brother, remember it below." But the teacher's grace is like a mountain, he will never do anything sorry for the master, he is a cultivator, and he will not violate the master's teachings, Pan will definitely be able to think of a perfect strategy. Please give me some time to keep this matter a secret and not mention it to anyone, including City Lord Nie. ”

Hou Qingyu seemed to be faintly able to feel that there was a faint estrangement between Pan Xincheng and the Nie City Lord, but his face remained unchanged, he nodded slowly, and arched his hand: "Brother Xincheng's personality is trustworthy below. Or, before the vision happened, I was willing to keep it a secret for my brother. ”

Pan Xincheng smiled and said, "That's very good, thank you!"

Hou Qingyu looked at it with a smile and said lightly: "I'll leave now, and my brother will rest." ”

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Hou Qingyu went out and walked out along the stone bridge.

Yu Shuang poked her head out of the corner of the house at this moment, looking at Hou Qingyu's back gradually moving away, and felt melancholy in her heart.

His state of mind is better than Pan Xincheng, he doesn't care about anything else, but he can't give up his sister Yu Xueying.

The conversation he heard just now was like an invisible blade, twisting his heart fiercely. As soon as the discerning person heard it, he knew that Hou Qingyu repeatedly hinted that Pan Xincheng would kill Yu Shuang to get rid of future troubles. But Pan Xincheng thought of his teacher's kindness and had a resolute attitude, so he did not hesitate to have a dispute with his friends for many years, which made Yu Shuang's nose sour and his heart warm.

Hou Qingyu is a careful person after all, and he knows that it is useless to say more at the moment, so he no longer insists on it.

But after all, Yu Shuang's own heart is also mixed, thinking about it carefully, the dream last night must have happened for a reason, in the conversation just now, Yu Shuang also found the answer, but this answer made him heartbroken.

"Kirinzi. Yu Shuang read a sentence again, his face was pale, he raised his steps quietly, walked onto the white jade bridge, and leaned over to look at the lake. There is no moonlight tonight, and a vague dark reflection can be seen in the lake, and the surface of the lake floats slightly with the cold wind.

After standing like this for a long time, I didn't feel a little in my mind.

After a while, there was goose feather snow in the sky, and a chill hit him from all directions, and he stood alone on the bridge, his figure looking very bleak and lonely.

The lights of the Lake Pavilion behind him were also extinguished reluctantly, and the heavens and the earth were in chaos, and snowflakes were wantonly floating from the sky to the earth, blending with the lake.

"Brother!" suddenly heard Yu Xueying's shout in the distance.

Yu Shuang turned her head to look, and by the dim light on the bridge, she saw Yu Xueying's blood-red figure bouncing towards her from the white jade bridge.

Her figure is pretty, and in the dark night, she looks very gorgeous.

Yu Shuang was worried at the moment, but when she saw her sister's figure, she suddenly felt that she wanted to open everything, except for her sister, it seemed that she could give up everything.

"Even if the whole world can't tolerate me, at least, she is enough. Yu Shuang thought so from the bottom of her heart. He suddenly smiled, beckoned to Yu Xueying, and said loudly, "Ying'er, I'm here." With that, he walked in the direction of Yu Xueying.

Yu Xueying tiptoed, bouncing, looking in a good mood at the moment, a clean and unparalleled pretty face with a smile, the dark night seemed to be unable to hide half of her innocence and liveliness, just like the lilies growing in the dark lotus pond, beautiful and dusty, making people pity.

A pair of black pigtails shook gracefully on their shoulders, and when they got closer, they were surprised: "Brother, it's dark and deserted here, what are you doing here?"

Yu Shuang smiled, twisted Yu Xueying's cheeks, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just to enjoy the scenery here." ”

"Hmph, deceit!" Yu Xueying glanced at him, his mouth was flattened, and the word "don't believe" was clearly displayed on his face, and he said sullenly: "What is the reason why you ran here to play without Ying'er?"

Yu Shuang was not angry at all, and pulled her weak and boneless little hand up, and there seemed to be a faint gentle feeling in the palm, and the two walked forward side by side, saying as they walked: "Ying'er, are you looking at the snowflakes beautiful?"

Yu Xueying's eyes turned, and she said happily: "Brother, tomorrow I will build a big snowman in front of our house, you can help me, okay?"

Yu Shuang smiled for a while, then suddenly turned around and said softly to her: "Okay, when tomorrow dawns, my brother will accompany you to build a snowman." ”
