Li Qing couldn't help but sigh slightly and put down the wine glass in her hand.
Qi Ranhun on the side seemed to notice something strange about him and asked, "Did you think of Chang Qing?"
Li Qing nodded.
Qi Songhui looked at Li Qing and said: "Gongyu Changqing is a good chivalrous person. He is lucky to have a good friend like you. It's a pity that I can't listen to Jun Fu's song today! Let's raise a toast together. , give him a toast!"
Li Qing and others stood up, raised their glasses to the bright moon, and then poured down the wine in their hands to pay homage to their old friend.
That night, everyone was very drunk. Perhaps the wine was too intoxicating, which made people forget their worries. Li Qing also fell asleep after being drunk.
Early the next morning, Li Qing and Qi Ranhun were walking in the garden. A beautiful-looking woman walked towards them. The woman first looked at Li Qing and then at Qi Ranhun.
The two of them were stunned. Li Qing looked at Qi Ranhun and said, "Is he looking for you?"
Qi Ranhun was quite proud of the Ranhun White Fan in his hand. He was about to go up and talk to the woman, thinking that it must be the woman who admired his grace last night!
Unexpectedly, the other party walked straight towards Li Qing, saluted him and said, "Are you... Mr. Li Qing?"
Li Qing was startled, and Qi Ranhun was also startled. The fan he raised fell into the air, and he twitched his lips in embarrassment: "So I'm looking for you!"...
I thought, hum! It turns out you are the romantic ghost! I don’t know if I had a secret look at this girl last night, so that she can’t forget you.
Li Qing was puzzled and said: "I am Li Qing, I wonder what the girl wants from me?"
The woman's face turned red. It was obvious that she was a quiet and introverted person. Especially when facing two young men with such outstanding looks, she inevitably felt a little shy. She said, "I'm not looking for you, it's my grandfather who is looking for you!"
Qi Ranhun was shocked, glared and whispered: "Did his grandfather like you?!"
Li Qing rolled her eyes at him, he was such a talkative guy.
Then he returned to his polite manner, looked at the woman and said, "I wonder what your grandfather wants from me? I... have just come to the realm of life and death, so I probably don't know anyone!"
The woman said: "My grandfather's name is Weng Siji, he is a great Gu Master in the Realm of Life and Death. He heard your conversation last night and said he wanted to meet Mr. Li Qing!"
Li Qing and Qi Ranhun both felt strange, but still followed the woman.
The woman took the two of them to a quaint wooden house. Herbs, gourds, antlers, animal bones, etc. were hung outside the cabin.
The two of them couldn't help but frown slightly, wondering whether they should enter this weird cabin.
The woman walked up the wooden steps and pushed the door straight in. A strange smell emitted from the door. The woman's voice was clear and authentic: "Grandpa, I brought you the person you wanted!"
"Okay, let them in!"
The two immediately walked into the room. The room was dimly lit, and there was a blind old man sitting inside.
The old man wore a black hat and black Gu Master uniform, with a black scorpion necklace hanging around his neck, and he was smoking a hookah in his hand with a calm expression.
The smell just now came from his hookah, but what he was smoking was not ordinary tobacco. It seemed to be a strange dry herb. The smell was not unpleasant, and even had a mint-like fragrance.
The old man put down the hookah in his hand and said in a low voice: "My name is Weng Siji, I am a great Gu Master, and the one who brought you here just now is my granddaughter Xiao Chang."
Li Qing looked at Weng Siji in front of her. His eye seemed to have been chopped with a knife. There was a terrible scar across his face. His eyeball should have exploded on the spot and was later removed.
Li Qing was puzzled. He didn't know Weng Siji in front of him, so why did he want to see her by name.
Weng Siji said: "I heard that a distinguished guest came to the Realm of Life and Death last night. Xiao Chang and I also went to join in the fun. During the dinner, I suddenly heard someone's name!"
"A person's name?" Qi Ranhun was confused and looked at Weng Siji, could it be Li Qing?
However, Weng Siji said: "Gongyu Changqing!"
Weng Siji blurted out the name of Gongyu Changqing, Li Qing and Qi Ranhun
They were all shocked and their bodies froze.
Li Qing exclaimed: "Old man, do you know Gongyu Changqing?!"
While smoking the hookah in his hand, Weng Siji nodded and said, "It's more than just acquaintance!"
Li Qing's heart was in her throat. He stared intently at Weng Siji's terrifying eyes, waiting for his next words.
Weng Siji blew out a smoke ring and said slowly:
"Actually, before I came to the Realm of Life and Death, I lived in the South Vietnam Kingdom. My real name is Wu Ajin. In order to survive these years, I and my granddaughter have been hiding in the Realm of Life and Death incognito."
"Although I was a great Gu master back then, I was not popular in South Vietnam because South Vietnam was at war with Xiyao at that time. What they hated most was the poison technique."
"However, one day, a richly dressed nobleman came to me and offered me money to bewitch a person. Later, I was taken into the palace by that person."
"I met the Emperor of Nanyue, and the person he wanted to poison was your friend Gongyu Changqing. At that time, I followed the instructions of the Emperor of Nanyue and poisoned him with the dead autumn poison."
"After the deed was accomplished, I thought I would receive a generous reward, but unexpectedly, I was ordered to be killed by that thief, the Emperor of South Vietnam! My eyes were blinded by the sword of the man who killed me!"
"I almost died at that time, but fortunately, the Gu insect saved me in the end! Later, I became anonymous, named Weng Siji, and hid in the realm of life and death with my only granddaughter, Xiao Chang."
"I didn't expect that after so many years, someone would still mention Gongyu Changqing's name. Perhaps this is a destiny that allows me to tell his friends the truth about that year in my lifetime."
When Weng Siji said this, he was trembling with anger, and the hookah in his hand was no longer fragrant. He put down the hookah and stared at Li Qing with his eyeballless eyes.
"You said you were Gongyu Changqing's friend, so you would definitely avenge him, right? You went to kill the South Vietnamese Emperor. He harmed your friend and me. It was so painful for that thief to harm me. !」
Qi Ran glanced at Li Qing next to him uneasily. Seeing that his pressure was extremely low, he asked Weng Siji: "If what you said is true, why didn't you go out to seek revenge on the South Vietnamese Emperor all these years?"
Weng Siji shook his head and said: "There are rules in the realm of life and death. People in the realm of life and death are not allowed to go out at will!"
He looked at Li Qing and said: "Master Li Qing, don't you people in the world have a saying that says to do the same thing for the other person! I will give you the most powerful Gu I will refine next year, you only need to use Put it in his wine glass and he will bleed to death!"
Qi Ranhun frowned and turned to look at Li Qing aside, only to see him dressed in white clothes, with his hands clenched into fists and a look of suppressed anger.
Li Qing stood up and said, "No need, Jianghu people have their own killing methods!"
Seeing Li Qing walk out of the cabin angrily, Qi Ranhun hurriedly chased after him, calling his name while chasing, but Li Qing seemed to be too angry and was immersed in the pain of his friend being framed.
Qi Ranhun stepped forward and took his hand, calling: "Li Qing, where are you going?"
Li Qing looked back at him, trying to calm down, and said, "Go to South Vietnam!"
Qi Ranhun knew that he could no longer stop Li Qing from going this time, so he said, "I'll accompany you!"
Li Qing shook her head and said, "You stay here and wait for me. I will avenge Chang Qing for him!"
Qi Ranhun knew that Li Qing seemed easy-going, but he was extremely stubborn in his heart. If he didn't avenge Gong Yu Changqing himself, he would never let it go in his life.
He nodded and said: "Okay! I'm waiting for you to come back in the realm of life and death! You must come back safely!"
Li Qing reached out and patted his hand that was holding her tightly, then turned and left.
Qi Ranhun looked at Li Qing's leaving figure and felt at a loss in his heart.
At this moment, Qi Songhui happened to come to find them. He smiled and said: "Ranhun, I heard that you were taken away by Weng Siji's granddaughter. You kid, you flirted with our girls as soon as you came to the realm of life and death. Although we women in the realm of life and death are outspoken by nature, as the granddaughter of the great Gu Master Weng Siji, please don’t act recklessly, lest the old man cast a spell on you!"
When Qi Songhui saw that Qi Ranhun was indifferent to his joke and was looking at something dreamily, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Qi Ranhun sat down on the big stone beside him with some disappointment, and sighed: "Alas..."
Qi Songhui was confused and said with a smile: "What are you sighing for? By the way, where is Li Qing?"
"He went to seek revenge on the South Vietnamese Emperor!"
"He went for revenge? Alone?"
"Yes, he won't let me go..."
"But, didn't you say it well before? Why..."
"He has never given up on avenging Gongyu Changqing. He has always been a very calm person, but he gets easily excited when it comes to matters related to Gongyu Changqing. This trip was originally to avenge Gongyu Changqing. , now that the truth has been found out, how can he leave easily?"
Qi Songhui nodded and said: "It would be good for him to take revenge, kill the Emperor of South Vietnam, and settle his worries before he can start a new life. But I don't understand, Li Qing has never been a capricious person, why did it happen so suddenly this time?" ?」
Qi Ranhun said, "It's Weng Siji."
"Weng Siji? What happened to the old man?"
"It turns out that Weng Siji was the one who helped the Emperor of South Vietnam to bewitch Gongyu Changqing. He heard our conversation last night and knew that Li Qing was a good friend of Gongyu Changqing, so he told him the truth of the matter. After Li Qing heard this, she felt bad and wanted to take revenge."
Qi Songyu said in surprise: "Is there such a thing? I only know that Weng Siji took his granddaughter Xiao Chang to the Realm of Life and Death. His Gu skills were very good, so he was allowed to stay in the Realm of Life and Death, but I didn’t know that he was the one who poisoned Gong Yu Changqing with the dead autumn poison. What a coincidence! If it weren’t for Weng Siji, the truth about this matter might not be revealed!”
Qi Ranhun sneered and said: "Ha! How many things in the world can be revealed to the truth? Sometimes what is revealed may not be the truth, just like what the Emperor of Nanyue said to us at that time, he said that Gongyu Changqing's The matter was related to the country of Xiyao. It was the people of Xiyao who poisoned him and killed him. If we didn't investigate deeply at that time and didn't go to Xiyao, how would we know the truth of the matter? People always say that sooner or later there will be a result, but in my case It seems that many things are actually fruitless.”
