Half-life immortal

Chapter 177
Xue Qinglan felt that Xu Shili would drag her into a ditch if she kept entangled in this issue, so she hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Shili, I have always had a question in my mind. Maybe it doesn't make sense to ask now, but Can you answer me?"

Xu Shili knew that she was changing the subject, but he still said, "Say it."

She said seriously: "I have never understood why the late emperor wanted to kill me."

This question has indeed been in her mind for a long time, and after careful investigation, if the first emperor did not want to kill her, then the demon king would not have been angered, and perhaps the first emperor would not have died of serious injuries.However, she had thought about it for a long time, but she still couldn't think of the reason why the late emperor wanted to kill her.

Xu Shili knew it, and said: "This has to start with Yue Qingwu..."

He explained in detail about the Heirs of Juecheng, perhaps he is the only one who really understands the cause and effect in the whole world.

Xue Qinglan was surprised when she heard this, and said, "Just because of this? Just because I learned how to dance with Sister Yue? But I didn't hear what Sister Yue said, and I don't know what it means to take revenge on Da Luo." Yes, so the late emperor sentenced me to death?"

Xu Shili said helplessly: "You don't know who your father is. He is too cautious when he is an emperor, too exhausted, worrying, and can't stand a little threat. I just hope that I won't be like him in the future."

Xue Qinglan was also helpless, and said: "Forget it, he's already passed away anyway, there's no need to pursue it whether it's good or bad." Death is like a lamp going out, she has always felt that way, since the late emperor is dead, Then it is meaningless to pursue it any further, and she is living well now.

I just occasionally think, if it wasn't for the first emperor's arrow, then the Dayan inner alchemy on her body could have been used to save her mother...

Xu Shili looked at her, smiled after a long absence, and said: "Although I really want to have a long chat with you, we don't have enough time. The front line is tight, and the monster army is pressing every step of the way. The previous reinforcements from the fairy world are already at the last The front line, including several uncles, is also here. We need to convince the ghost king before the front line is breached."

Xue Qinglan was slightly surprised, and said, "Is the situation so bad? Are we completely at a disadvantage?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Xu Shili's brows became even more worried, and he said: "In terms of military strength, we should have the upper hand, but the opponent often gains the upper hand during the battle. Accumulate advantages in bit by bit confrontation. At first we suspected that they had an astonishing think tank to assist them, but now we feel more and more... Maybe they read the secret through some means."

Xue Qinglan nodded and said: "The other party must have a method that we don't know about, and they have gathered traitors from all over the world, and they know us well, but our understanding of them is extremely limited. Until now, we still don't know who is behind it Who is it?"

Xu Shili said: "We have also tried to insert our people inside the other party, but the information we got back was scattered and fragmented...Let's not talk about it, let's go to the Ghost King as soon as possible, she happens to be in the sky. Peiyang City not far from Snow City."

"Wait," she said, "Ghost King, is it Pei'er?"

Even though she was basically convinced, she was still a little uneasy before she got a positive answer.

Xu Shili met Zhu Pei'er in the Yin Ruins of Ishikawa, and said: "Yes, it is the Princess Pei'er we knew before, but she is now the ghost king. You had a good relationship with her at the time, maybe she would listen You say a word."

Xue Qinglan showed joy, and said, "It's really Pei'er? Can she leave Yinxu now?"

Xu Shili said with a smile: "Of course it is possible, otherwise the Yin Ruins of the Human World do not border each other, how can she rule all the Yin Ruins? Speaking of which, the Zhupei Ghost King is really powerful, he was able to disperse the human world in just three years." Thousands of Yin Ruins gathered together. When it comes to being amazing, she is much more amazing than me."

Xue Qinglan smiled, and felt that her face was also bright, and said: "I already knew that Pei'er is great, but what I still want to know is why Pei'er didn't help us, but hesitated on both sides? What did the other party give us?" What pressure did it put on her?"

Xu Shili said: "We don't know about this, but I heard that many Yin Ruins had surrendered to Jie Chaoyuan long before Zhupei Ghost King unified the Yin Ruins."

It turned out to be a legacy problem...

Xue Qinglan thought about it, and felt that this possibility was very high, but felt that something was wrong.Because although the Zhu Pei'er she knew was innocent, cute and immature, she was still able to tell right from wrong, and she also helped them a lot against the Five Ghosts in the Yinxu. What if the two don't help each other?The reason for this doesn't seem to be as simple as a legacy issue...

In short, the real reason can only be found out after seeing Zhu Peier.

Without further ado, they went to Peiyang City where Zhu Peier was located with a small number of troops, and prepared to negotiate with the Zhupei Ghost King. Only after the Ghost King was persuaded, they would have nothing to worry about in the next battle.

In addition to the crisis of the Great War in the human world, there are rumors that there are natural and man-made disasters all over the place, making people panic.Xue Qinglan could have used her own immortal energy to fly directly there, but considering the situation in the human world, she did not use her own power like the other immortals, but relied on walking or riding a horse.Of course, since she was with the Emperor, she enjoyed a ride in Da Luo's most advanced carriage by the way.

There were only Xu Shili and Xue Qinglan in the carriage, so others were naturally not up to grade to ride with them.In the carriage, Xu Shili kept looking at Xue Qinglan with a smile, making her feel uncomfortable, and asked, "What's wrong? Keep staring at me... Is there something dirty on my face?"

Xu Shili shook his head, and said: "Do you know why I don't wait for you in Peiyang City, but want to meet you in Tianxue City, and then go there in a carriage with you?"

It really took a lot of time to go back and forth, and looking at Xu Shili's appearance, he seemed to have seen Zhu Pei'er, and because he heard that Xue Qinglan was coming, he hurried back to Tianxue City.Then from Sky Snow City, accompany her to Peiyang City.There are twists and turns in it, as if you are going the wrong way.

Xue Qinglan shook her head honestly and said, "I don't know."

Xu Shili had a rare bright smile, and said: "Haha, of course it is to drive with you! If I waited for you in Peiyang City, wouldn't I have missed the time we spent with you?"

Xue Qinglan blushed, and said, "Hey, what time is it now, are you still in the mood to make fun of me?"

Xu Shili said seriously: "I'm not joking, I just want to see you earlier. If possible, I would even go to the fairyland to meet you."

Xue Qinglan smiled awkwardly, and said: "Today, the imbalance of Dao is becoming more and more serious. Except for the two worlds of gods and demons that are still unable to cross, the gap between the four worlds of humans, monsters, ghosts and immortals is still gone. The human world is now frequent. The natural disasters and man-made disasters are also related to this, right? I heard that the final outcome of the imbalance of heaven and earth is the overthrow of the six realms, and I hope the situation will not evolve to the point where all living beings are wiped out."

Xu Shili still looked at her intently, and said: "Yes, this catastrophe must be resolved, but I'm afraid that when the war ends, you will disappear from my eyes again."

She comforted: "No, even if I have to leave, I will bid you a good farewell this time."

Disappointment flashed across his eyes, and he smiled wryly: "If one day we have to say goodbye, then I must seize the time and imprint your image deeply in my heart."

Xue Qinglan turned her head and looked out the window, only to see the gate of Peiyang City looming in front of her, and said: "Look, we have arrived at Peiyang City, go see Pei'er quickly."

They entered Peiyang City, came to the place where the ghost king Zhupei lived, and met the current Zhupei'er.

"Sister?! Sister Qinglan?!" Zhu Pei'er didn't know that it was Xue Qinglan who came, so she was very excited when she saw her, and rushed towards her when she came up, looking extremely intimate.

Xue Qinglan was also very happy, especially seeing Zhu Peier's enthusiasm, she was also very pleased, hugged Zhu Peier enthusiastically, and stroked her big head.

She also found that not only had her appearance not changed in the past three years, Zhu Pei'er's appearance had not changed much either.The two of them together are still like a pair of sisters, and their relationship is as good as sisters.

Zhu Pei'er subconsciously ignored Xu Shili who was beside her, took Xue Qinglan's hand affectionately and took her seat, and said, "Sister, I heard that you went to the fairy world? When did you come back? I wanted to go find you after I left the Yinxu , but have not been found."

Xue Qinglan said with a smile: "I went to the fairy world, and I also had some adventures..."

The two of them immediately started chatting as if no one else was there, and the topic got farther and farther away. They chatted all over the world, and after talking for a long time, it still had nothing to do with the purpose of their trip.

Xu Shili was very speechless listening to him, but he had a very good character and would not interrupt other people's conversations, especially when he saw Xue Qinglan so happy, seeing his old friend, he couldn't bear to spoil Xue Qinglan's conversation. Qinglan's elegance.As long as Xue Qinglan is happy, he can put aside any natural or man-made calamities in the six realms.

In addition to the three of them, there was another person in the house, Zhu Pei'er's uncle——Uncle Wugui.He didn't think like Xu Shili, seeing that Zhu Pei'er started playing around with his temper again, he reminded: "Pei'er, remember the time."

"Woo..." Zhu Pei'er replied full of grievances, and there was a little helplessness on her little face.

Xue Qinglan asked politely, "What? Do you have anything else to do?"

Zhu Peier said embarrassedly: "Sister, I know why you came here, but please forgive me that I really can't help Da Luo. I have my own difficulties, and the limit I can do is not to help each other. And my ghost clan The original intention of entering the human world is to find a place for our people to settle down, so there is no need to go through this muddy water."

Xue Qinglan had already expected that she would say this, and said, "Can you tell me the reason?"

Zhu Pei'er looked at Uncle Wu Gui in embarrassment, then at Xu Shili, nodded and said, "Okay, but I can only tell my sister. Sister, please follow me."

Xue Qinglan nodded to Xu Shili, and said, "Shili, don't worry about me, I'll come whenever I go."

It is very important to know the reason of the ghost king. She is willing to tell Xue Qinglan that it is the biggest gain. Of course Xu Shili will not stop him, but he just said carefully and watched them leave the hall.

They left this place and went to another courtyard not far away. When they arrived in the other courtyard, there was no one around, Zhu Pei'er said: "Sister, I will bring you to meet someone. Once you see him, you will understand."

Xue Qinglan nodded, doubts abounded in her heart, she really didn't understand who had such a great influence and restrained Zhu Pei'er's decision.

They entered a room, and Xue Qinglan saw a strange middle-aged man in the room, sipping tea leisurely.This middle-aged man was very ordinary-looking, and his aura was not strong, so Xue Qinglan didn't feel particularly frightening, and the order of rewarding good and punishing evil didn't feel any strong malice from this man. , indicating that this person neither suspects her of malice, nor is he a treacherous person.

When she noticed this man, this man was also looking at her.Like the people she had seen since she was in the lower realm, there was a hint of worry between this person's brows, and he was also worried about certain things.

The middle-aged man spoke first: "Pei'er, is she...?"

Zhu Pei'er hurriedly introduced: "She is sister Qinglan, a good friend I have known since I was in Ishikawa Yinxu."

Xue Qinglan added: "My name is Xue Qinglan, I wonder if you are...?"

Zhu Pei'er smiled and said, "Sister Qinglan, he is Zhou Zhenyuan and my father."

Xue Qinglan was stunned for a moment, then realized that her reaction was too rude, she cupped her hands and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be Pei'er's father..."

Zhou Zhenyuan seemed to have a good temper, and said with a smile: "Don't be rude, don't be rude, you are Pei'er's friend, so that is my friend."

Xue Qinglan remembered that Zhu Pei'er was of mixed race, her mother was the former ghost king, and her father was a human being, but she didn't expect it to be this human being in front of her... Well, it looks very ordinary.In terms of cultivation, it seems to be pretty good, so-so to the distraction stage.But Xue Qinglan has jumped to the level of an immortal now, and the cultivation base of a mortal in the distraction period is too insignificant for her, or for this big battle.

She looked at Zhu Pei'er puzzled, wondering why she brought her to see her father, and said, "Pei'er, have you found your father? Congratulations."

Zhu Peier smiled and said: "No, it was my father who came to look for me. Sister, to be honest, I was going to help Da Luo, but my father found me and told me that there is my uncle in the Yaozu camp. Daddy can't persuade uncle to stop, so he wants to persuade me not to confront him head-on, this is the most important reason why I don't want to join the war. I don't want to embarrass daddy."

Xue Qinglan really didn't expect that the reason why Zhu Pei'er didn't want to intervene in the war was because of this, so she couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

Is she going to use the safety of the Six Realms to persuade her?But compared to fratricide, can things like the safety of the Six Realms really convince her?It will only embarrass her, right?Comparing her heart to her heart, if Xue Qinglan was in Zhu Pei'er's position, she might make the same decision.

Zhou Zhenyuan sighed again and again, and said: "Brother is stubborn, and he will not repent once he decides something. But I am just an elder brother like him. I have depended on each other since childhood and have a deep brotherhood. I really can't bear to see him doomed. If it is fate, at least don't let him die." My daughter and I have become his eternal help."

Xue Qinglan nodded and said: "I understand, Uncle Zhou has good intentions, so it's no wonder Pei'er is so determined."

Zhu Pei'er said pitifully: "Sister, you don't blame Pei'er, do you?"

Xue Qinglan shook her head generously, and said: "Of course not. Although I was pulled to persuade you, I didn't come to make things difficult for you. Of course, I won't force you to do anything. And the fairy king gave me The order is just for me to persuade you not to be our enemy, if you can really live in a corner, it might not be a good thing."

She also had a thought in her mind, is Zhou Zhenyuan Zhu Pei'er's biological father?How did she recognize it?Could it be a trick used over there?But the thought was fleeting, and she felt ridiculously worried.Zhu Pei'er is a generation of ghost kings, how could her biological father admit his mistake?She must have used a thousand or eight hundred methods to be sure of Zhou Zhenyuan's identity, and it must not be her turn to worry about this issue.

Zhu Pei'er hugged Xue Qinglan's neck happily, and said, "Sister, you are so kind."

Seeing their amiability, Zhou Zhenyuan also smiled and said, "Haha, you are obviously of different races, but you look like real sisters. Oh, no, maybe real sisters can't compare to your feelings."

Zhu Pei'er said: "Daddy, you are wrong to say that. If I have half of your blood, then I will be half human, and my sister is also human. Why can't we count as one race?"

Xue Qinglan was extremely amused seeing Zhu Pei'er's earnestness, she patted her big head lightly, and said, "Pei'er, speaking of which, I am also a mixed race like you, I not only have human blood, but also The blood of half the gods."

"Really?" Zhu Pei'er was still as innocent as before, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong. Instead, she exclaimed happily: "Then we are all mixed races, and we are the real siblings! Sister, that's great!"

Zhou Zhenyuan was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "This fairy, do you really have the blood of humans and gods? Then do you know who your parents are?"

Xue Qinglan felt a little puzzled, but thought he was simply curious, so she said, "My mother is the Su Goddess of the God Realm, but I don't know about my father, I only heard that he is a human being."

Zhou Zhenyuan took a breath, and said again and again: "No wonder, no wonder, I said that although the immortal energy in your body is majestic, it seems to be pure and impure. Could it be divine power? Then you, how did you become a fairy? "

Xue Qinglan was about to explain, but Zhu Pei'er interrupted: "Daddy, why are you asking so much! Pei'er is going to be jealous! My sister is so powerful, it is not impossible to cultivate into a fairy! If it weren't for the ghost blood in me Stronger, maybe I can also cultivate immortals!"
