Li Tian chuckled, walked silently behind Qing Miao'er, stretched out his hand to push the wheelchair and walked out.
"Xiaotian, do you hate me?"
Qing Miao'er, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked at the night in front of her with a dull look in her eyes.
"Don't hate."
"Then, do you hate Qing Bai?"
Hearing this question, Li Tian wanted to lie and say that he didn't hate it, but he held back the words. Hou Qingbai was the initiator of everything. Without him, nothing would have happened, including Gou Wencai and Zhao Yin.
Neither of them will die, so he can't say anything without hatred.
Silence is also the best answer.
"I see."
Qing Miaoer smiled faintly, this result was also within her expectation.
"Hou Qingbai lied to me and said that his spells had defensive capabilities, which caused Brother Wencai and I to switch the spells. In fact, the defensive spells were yours. We believed it wrong. Brother Wencai died. Naturally, I hate him.
.”
"So, I hate him, will you kill me?"
Qing Miaoer was stunned by Li Tian's words.
"It is true that he did something wrong, and it is reasonable for you to hate him, but why should I kill you? You are a good boy, and no one has the right to take your life."
She thought that Li Tian came to her to avenge Gou Wencai. The general manager Hou Qingbai was so powerful that he did not dare to go to her to vent his anger by killing her, a powerless woman. Facts have proved that,
It's because she thinks too much.
"I've been sick in the past two years. It's a serious illness. My previous cultivation is gone. I'm just an ordinary person now."
Qing Miao'er continued, and even directly told Li Tian the secret of her loss of cultivation.
Hearing Qing Miao'er's answer, Li Tian couldn't help but frown. He didn't understand the purpose of Qing Miao'er's words.
Similarly, what he didn't expect was that Qing Miao'er actually said that she had no cultivation! Could it be that she was also lying to him? Wanted to trick him into doing something?
"Why are you telling me this? Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. Even if you don't have any cultivation, I won't do anything to you."
Qing Miao'er nodded and smiled when he heard this.
"I know, I just don't want to put pressure on you. Now that you know I'm an ordinary person, is it a lot easier to talk to me?"
Li Tian didn't expect that the other person told him this secret for this reason, which made him laugh.
"You are a good person, I can see that, and thank you for taking care of Brother Wencai."
"Alas~"
Qingmiaoer sighed softly.
"Qing Bai is also a good person. He once had a heart for the world. The entire Lingyun City has benefited from him..."
She seemed to be defending Hou Qingbai, but what she said was true.
"That was once. I don't know what happened before, and I can't control it. Now, he is no longer."
Li Tian doesn't care about the people in the world, he only knows that the other party killed many people, many innocent people, this is a fact that can never be changed.
"Is it because he lied to you? But it was Murphy, the chief manager, who killed Wen Cai."
Qingmiao'er was puzzled. She didn't understand why Li Tian had so much resentment towards Hou Qingbai. It couldn't be caused by a single deception.
"You'll know later. The one in front of you is my sworn brother. Let me introduce him to you."
As he spoke, Li Tian had already pushed Qing Miao'er to the river in the manor. After crossing the small bridge, there was the front yard.
On the other side of the bridge was Yun Zhi, who was pacing back and forth anxiously waiting for Li Tian.
"Damn it, Xiaozhi, look, Goutian has rebelled!"
Ergou noticed Li Tian first and watched as he pushed Qing Miao'er to cross the bridge.
So it plunged directly into the soil with a sudden force, leaving only one head exposed, ready to run away at any time.
Yun Zhi heard the sound and saw Li Tian. He rolled his eyes at Ergou.
"Don't talk nonsense, brother is not that kind of person."
Ergou glanced at him disdainfully.
"I'm reminding you, don't say I'm unfaithful when you get cut!"
Yun Zhi stopped paying attention to it and waved towards Li Tian.
"Brother."
At this time, Li Tian and Qing Miao'er also came to him.
"This is the friend I just told you about. His name is Ling Yunzhi, and he is my sworn brother. Yun Zhi, this is Hou Qingbai's wife, as you know."
Li Tian introduced.
Yun Zhi nodded politely to Qing Miao'er.
Qing Miao'er was surprised.
"Are you Wan'er's child? You and your mother look so much alike. We haven't seen each other for many years. I didn't expect you to grow up so much."
Like Hou Qingbai, she immediately recognized Yun Zhi's identity. At the same time, she was also surprised that Li Tian not only knew Yun Zhi, but was actually his eldest brother.
"You know my mother?"
Yun Zhi was immediately surprised. We knew each other well, and it would not be easy to call him Wan'er directly. His mother was the head of the Wanghou family, Wanghou Wan'er.
"Of course I recognize you. According to your seniority, you have to call me aunt."
"My dear, I didn't expect you to know each other. It's rare for me to see acquaintances."
Seeing Yun Zhi, Qing Miao'er also became sincerely happy. When she recalled the past, she couldn't help but lament the passage of time. The first time she met Yun Zhi, he was still an infant. It was already sixteen years ago.
.
"We met in college and were roommates."
Li Tian explained.
"No wonder, I only found out last night that you were a student of Lingtian College. I originally thought that you really came out to make a living like a scholar."
"Then you don't practice? Why did you come to Ping'an Town?"
Only then did Qing Miao'er recall all the mysteries of last night. She recalled Hou Qingbai's vigilance towards Lingtian Academy, and the unusual appearance of Li Tian and the others now. These links were intertwined, and it seemed that it was no longer simple.
If students go out at the same time, it will not be for no reason, and each one seems to be hiding deeper than the other, so there is only one possibility, and that is to complete the task.
"Are you here to do a mission in Ping'an Town?"
She suddenly had a bad association. She had long suspected Hou Qingbai's behavior in the past two days. Now she was even more sure that Lingtian Academy came to Hou Qingbai!
Li Tian and Yun Zhi looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. They didn't expect Qing Miao'er to guess their purpose so quickly.
"You're right."
Li Tian didn't hide it, he admitted it directly. If he doesn't admit it now, it will be exposed when Hou Qingbai comes, so he might as well say it directly.
"We are here to investigate some things. You will find out later. Let's keep walking."
He winked at Yun Zhi, pushed Qing Miao'er and continued walking forward, aiming at the bodhi tree in the distance.
But then he found the two dogs hiding in the hole, looking at them timidly.
"What are you doing?"
He couldn't help but wonder.
Seeing that there was no danger, the two dogs crawled back to the ground.
"Ahem, it's okay. The ground is cool. You don't need to worry about me. Just go about your business."
It waved its hand at Li Tian and others, indicating that they should ignore it.
Li Tian gave it a blank look and continued walking forward. He saw through the purpose of the two dogs digging holes at a glance, but he was too lazy to pay attention to it.
"This cultivator is really strange..."
Qing Miao'er couldn't help but cast a curious look at Ergou, carefully recalling the appearance of the beasts she had seen in her memory, but found that they were not the same.
"Don't pay attention to it, it's just a stupid dog!"
Seeing Qingmiao'er's curiosity, Li Tian did not hesitate to praise the two dogs.
Not long after, everyone finally arrived under the bodhi tree. Li Tian pushed Qing Miao'er and finally stopped. A cold feeling came over him, which seemed particularly unusual in this midsummer night.
"Why did you bring me here?"
Qingmiao'er looked back at Li Tian in confusion. She knew that the bodhi tree was unusual, so she was even more surprised by Li Tian's behavior.
Li Tian did not answer, but slowly walked forward until he came to the tree.
The moonlight reflected the thick tree trunks, revealing the old leather shells.
At this time, the tree trunk seemed to be decaying after countless years.
Who would have thought that just a few days ago, this Bodhi tree was still full of vitality, blocking out the sun and covering the sky with fallen flowers.
"I want to know the origin of this tree, can you tell me?"
Li Tian stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the tree trunk. The feeling of the old leather shell was particularly unsightly.
At the same time, he couldn't help but look at the land beneath his feet.
A sense of sadness arose spontaneously.
Just below my feet are the souls of those innocent souls who can't find their way home.
Qing Miao'er looked at Li Tian's back and was stunned for a moment. Although she had no cultivation now, she could still clearly feel the sadness radiating from him, but she didn't understand why Li Tian suddenly acted like this.
"Shall I tell you a story?"
At this moment, Qingmiaoer seemed to be thinking about it.
"According to legend, more than a thousand years ago, there was a ruler in Mao'er Mountain, who was called the Dragon Emperor by the world. At that time, there was no pure dragon clan in the Mao'er Continent. The Dragon Emperor is the descendant of the dragon clan.
Although there are few dragons in the sub-dragon clan, each one of them is gifted with unrivaled strength and rules the entire continent. The Dragon Emperor is also the leader of their clan."
"The dragon clan has a long lifespan. Every adult dragon has extraordinary strength and a lifespan of nearly a thousand years. The Dragon Emperor was already 1,500 years old at the time, far exceeding the average dragon. Perhaps
, is the reason why its cultivation level is high."
"But at 1,500 years old, it is already old. No matter how powerful it was in the past, it will eventually have to face the end. Time will eventually take away its life."
"It is not willing to be willing to have thousands of years of cultivation be burned down, nor is it willing to die in the mountains like this."
"So it did one thing, one thing, that changed the entire race."
"I don't know what method it used to force open the door to the fairy world and seek the magic of immortality from the immortal!"
At this time, Li Tian had turned his head and listened quietly to Qing Miao'er's story, but the more he listened, the more outrageous it became. Now it was about the immortal world. What other immortals are there? What does this have to do with the bodhi tree?
However, he did not interrupt Qing Miao'er's words, but chose to continue listening.
"The Immortal has really come. Through the passage opened by the Dragon Emperor, he came to our world, heard the Dragon Emperor's request, and brought something."
"That's right, the Bodhi tree behind you, after the arrival of the immortal, the passage to the immortal world was also closed."
"After the immortal gave the Bodhi tree to the Dragon Emperor, he said this: Bodhi has no fruit, and the fruit is in reincarnation. When it bears fruit, it will be your time to live forever! After leaving these twenty words, the immortal disappeared.
No one knows where he went."
"In the end, with the help of the bodhi tree, the Dragon Emperor lived for another three hundred years, until he died at the age of eighteen hundred."
"It's just that the price of its immortality was the decline of the entire race. The entire Yalong clan was extinct within these three hundred years. The Dragon Emperor also became the last dragon on the Mao'er Continent."
"Some people say that the price of the Dragon Emperor's immortality is to sacrifice the luck of the entire ethnic group to the Bodhi tree. Then the luck will be gone, and the ethnic group will be gone."
"Some people denounced the Dragon Emperor's behavior, saying that it was for his own selfishness that it led to the demise of the entire ethnic group."
Speaking of this, Qing Miao'er couldn't help but smile as she looked at Li Tian who was listening in rapt attention and continued.
"This is the story of the bodhi tree. According to legend, it is from the fairy world, not from our world."
"But legends are legends after all, and no one really believes that a tree can make people live forever."
"But one thing is indeed similar to the legend. This is an unknown tree. It can grow by absorbing vitality. Don't look at it now. Give it enough vitality and it will revive again."
Qing Miaoer did not hide it from Li Tian, but directly told him about the dangers of the bodhi tree.
After Li Tian listened to the story, he was lost in thought for a long time, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After a moment, he raised his head and looked at Qing Miao'er.
"Then have you ever seen a bodhi tree blossom and bear fruit?"
Naturally, he was not talking about a few days ago, but earlier. After all, Qingmiao'er was still in the state of the living dead a few days ago.
Qing Miaoer smiled faintly and nodded.
"I saw it when I was young. At that time, the Bodhi tree was still deep in Mao'er Mountain. I accidentally went there to avoid my enemies, and that's where I met Qing Bai."
"That day, blood lotus flowers scattered all over the sky, like a bloody rain of flowers falling on Mao'er Mountain. Although the Bodhi tree was ominous, I have to say that it was the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen in my life."
"However, the Bodhi tree only blooms but does not bear fruit. After the rain of flowers disperses, the Bodhi tree returns to what you see now."
Qingmiao'er's eyes were filled with tender memories at this moment, as if that day was the most important moment in her life.
In fact, there is one sentence that Qingmiaoer did not say.
The silence of the Bodhi tree seems to be waiting for the next rebirth!
"Only flowers...no fruit..."
Li Tian did not doubt Qing Miao'er's words because he knew there was no need for Qing Miao'er to lie to him.
At this time, he suddenly remembered the sentence in the story, Bodhi is fruitless.
"Bodhi is fruitless..."
Li Tian's eyes were dull and he was mumbling.
At this moment, he finally understood the truth of everything. His body seemed to have been drained of energy, and he slumped to the ground helplessly, and his mood became depressed.
"Yes, Bodhi has no fruit... Why should we let it bear fruit..."
