Forced Marriage [Cultivation]

On a midsummer night, it was extremely hot and scorching.

The seventh floor of Suomo Palace is inexplicably hotter tonight than in the past.The air in the corridor was filled with heat, and the iron door seemed to be steaming.

The guards walked up and down impatiently, complaining about why there was no heavy rain.

From time to time, there were the sounds of whips being whipped, chains being pulled, and jailers swearing.

Don't think that the jailers in West City are more qualified than those in other places. The guards all over the world are the same. After staying in such a dark place for a long time, people's tempers will turn bad.

Lying on the bed, Li Qingyi turned over, tore off the prison clothes stuck to his back, and spread his sweat-soaked hair over the edge of the stone bed.The sound of mosquitoes buzzing kept coming from his ears, he frowned irritably, and fanned himself with his hand.

The sound of mosquitoes gradually faded away, he opened his eyes to see a crescent moon coming in through the three-inch iron window, and slowly fell asleep, he closed his eyes, and dreamed.

Maybe it was because it was too hot in reality, but in the dream it was pouring rain, the ground was cool and damp everywhere.

In front of him is a gazebo, which is somewhat familiar.

Li Qingyi frowned and thought about it carefully.He recognized it. This should be the pavilion a hundred miles west of Changle Station.It was here that he poured a bottle of sulfuric acid on Jiang Suxing's face, ruining Jiang Suxing's appearance and voice.

Revisiting the old place, Li Qingyi felt happy from the bottom of his heart.Especially when he thought of how Jiang Suxing was tortured at that time, he couldn't help but feel complacent, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

There is a bright moon in the sky, there are stone tables and deck chairs in the gazebo, and there is wine on the stone table.Li Qingyi walked over and poured himself a glass of wine, then looked up and drank it.Xin Dao said that there is wine and moon, which is indeed a good dream.

After three glasses of wine, Li Qingyi only felt that his expression was off, relaxed and happy, he tossed his long sleeves, lazily stretched his waist, babbled, and sang one of his best tunes.

In the waning rain at night, I saw Li Qingyi's long hair reaching the ground, his figure swaying, his long sleeves wide and loose, flowing like clouds and flowing water.

Halfway through the opera, he turned around and stretched his waist, and saw a person sitting on the stone bench.

The bright moon eyebrows flew into the temples obliquely, the cold star eyes were as deep as water, and the face was fair and clear.At first glance, it is amazing, but when you look closely, it is even more breathtaking, and you are dying.

Gu Baitang?

Li Qingyi paused, but the singing on his mouth did not stop.While sizing up the sudden appearance of Gu Baitang, he was still babbling and whining softly.He has a lazy voice and a tactful cry, with a curvy head and crescent eyebrows, delicate features, and an infinite charm.

'Gu Baitang' has a smile on his face, the spring breeze is boundless, and he drinks and pours himself, very chic.He leisurely watched Li Qingyi swinging in front of him with admiration in his eyes.

——That was the gaze of Li Qingyi's previous life, for which he followed and buried his whole life.In the dream, he finally saw it.

"It's worthy of being No.1 on the furnace ranking list, it's really stunning."'Gu Baitang' curved his lips and praised without hesitation.

Li Qingyi's eyes flashed, he didn't go into the matter of 'Gu Baitang''s sudden frivolous attitude and his words, even though this incident became a kind of shame to him after he followed Gu Baitang, he wholeheartedly I want to wash myself clean.He always felt that the reason Gu Baitang in his previous life was unwilling to touch him was because he was already filthy.If he was innocent, then he thought he would have more confidence and courage to follow Gu Baitang.Perhaps if that was the case, Gu Baitang in his previous life would have a different ending from him.

"My lord..." Li Qingyi swayed, he didn't know where he got the courage to jump to the side of 'Gu Baitang'.

He was ready to be pushed away by Gu Baitang, but 'Gu Baitang' smiled and reached out to pull him into his arms.

"Li Qingyi, why did you waste such a good talent in vain? It's really hard for you because of...for an elm lump."'Gu Baitang's deep voice reached his ear, and he smiled softly Said.With the taste of alcohol, Li Qingyi's mind was agitated.

But he couldn't help crying, "My lord..."

'Gu Baitang' smiled lowly, and whispered something that made people blush and heartbeat.

Thunder rumbled, and in this exceptionally clear and outrageous dream, Li Qingyi finally had a spring night with the person he had pursued for two lifetimes, and finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish.

"Crackling——"

There was a sudden thunder, followed by heavy rain, which slightly relieved the hot air in Suomo Palace.

Li Qingyi slowly opened his eyes, only to feel that his whole body was sore and limp, his limbs were weak, especially between his legs, it was an unspeakable feeling.

He lowered his head in a daze, unable to recover for a moment.

Is this really a dream?It was a dream that was too real and too outrageous.

After waking up from the dream, Li Qingyi felt empty in his heart.In the dream, he was very happy, but after waking up, there was only emptiness in his eyes, and he couldn't help feeling sad.

In fact, when he was in Changle back then, he didn't intend to impersonate Jiang Suxing.His original plan was to kill Jiang Suxing, so as to avoid future troubles forever.

But when he made the move, he temporarily regretted it.He wanted to torture Jiang Suxing, make him unable to see, hear, hear, or speak, and let him experience all the sufferings in the world—in fact, he wanted Jiang Suxing to experience Li Qingyi's own growth experience, and let him Jiang Suxing also go through his own suffering. Life.

He is too bitter, life is too difficult.

Li Qingyi fled in embarrassment after being amputated by the ghost king of the underworld who suddenly appeared.In fact, he knew at that time that returning to Changle Post Station was to seek his own death.

But he just wanted to go back and take one last look at Gu Baitang, even if this one glance would kill him.

Unexpectedly, Gu Baitang lost his memory, and by accident, he became Jiang Suxing, and returned to the West City with everyone.

During the whole process, Li Qingyi himself walked very anxiously.He had many opportunities to escape, but there was always a glimmer of fantasy in his heart.The fantasy is: 16 years later, it will be Li Qingyi who will marry Gu Baitang.

So even if Jiang Suxing came back later, he would be exposed in public and thrown into the Demon Lock Palace.He didn't have too much fear in his heart, but was very calm and peaceful in the end.

Because he always believes that history will not be changed, and what should happen will still happen.He believed that sooner or later he would leave Suomo Palace, he even believed that Gu Baitang would come back to find him. 16 years later, he will marry Gu Baitang...

Thinking of this, Li Qingyi laughed to himself, because he felt hopeless after being locked up in this Suomo Palace for three or four months.

What makes people desperate is not the darkness and darkness of the prison, but that the person he has always placed hope in can no longer give him any hope.

At this moment, Li Qingyi suddenly heard the sound of the iron door opening.

He stared blankly at the man standing at the door, unable to believe his eyes.

"Get up, follow me." The person at the door said, his voice was cold, his black eyes were like water, it was Gu Baitang who was right.

Li Qingyi sat up from the bed, unable to stand up, his legs were weak, and he threw himself on the ground.

"My lord..." Li Qingyi crawled over, this was not a dream, Gu Baitang really came to look for him.

He also said that many things happened in the west city during this night.

After Yuntang heard about what happened in Penglai that year, Gu Baitang couldn't sit still, so he went to Qingxiu Garden to look for Qiu Shishui, wanting to ask clearly.

The Qingxiu Garden is built along the water, and there are many water pavilions and towers in the garden, with small bridges and flowing water.Gu Baitang found Qiu Shishui by the lakeside of Yiwan Pool. This elder Qiu, who was unfamiliar but familiar in his memory, was sitting by the lake with his back facing him, playing the flute.

The sound of the flute is not a whim, but rather special, like a folk song from a foreign land.

Gu Baitang stood there and listened for a while, until Qiu Passing Water finished playing a tune and the surroundings became quiet.

"This is the tune that my aunt used to play to us when I was a child." In the silent night running water, Qiu Yueshui said softly.The voice is distant, it should be recalling the past.

"Uncle Qi, what is going on with you and Gao Mianliu?" Gu Baitang asked after deliberation.

Qiu Shaoshui smiled softly, "As you have heard, his mother and my mother are twin sisters. He is my younger brother, two months younger than me. We grew up together. We have never been separated, Until 250 years ago, he left me..."

Qiu Paishui's voice was somewhat sad, and after he finished speaking, the surroundings were silent again.

Gu Baitang couldn't help frowning, he said: "Even if you have deep feelings, you shouldn't cover him up. Gao Mianliu is suspected of stealing the Pearl of the Blue Ocean, and should be investigated by the Law Enforcement Palace."

Qiu Shishui's back was straight, and after a long time, he whispered a word: "Xiao Liu has suffered a lot... It's all of us who are sorry for him."

Now that he has come to this point, Gu Baitang has something to say. "But as far as I know, the "Changde Rebellion" happened in Penglai, and the culprit was Gao Mianliu's biological father, Gao Changde. "

"Xiao Liu was only three years old when the "Changde Rebellion" happened. He and his aunt were both victims. They should not be responsible for the crimes committed by Gao Changde. "Qiu Shishui let out a long sigh. He raised his head, and the corners of his eyes seemed to reflect water. "There were many rumors about what happened back then, but many things cannot be explained clearly in a few words.The reason why Xiaoliu became what he is now is because of his helplessness..."

Gu Baitang was planning to listen to Qiu Shishui tell the truth about what happened back then, but at this moment, a sharp cry sounded in the air.

A red light bomb exploded in the night sky, Gu Baitang frowned, and said: "Something happened in the city, I'll go and have a look."

Coming out of the Qingxiu Garden, he bumped into Zhuo Xinian who was bringing a pair of law enforcement disciples with him, and rushed over in a hurry.

"Is Elder Qiu in the garden?" Zhuo Xinian asked anxiously as soon as he came up.

Gu Baitang looked at the law enforcement disciples who died behind Zhuo Xinian, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

"The Yan sisters are gone, they were kidnapped by Gao Mianliu!" Zhuo Xinian said firmly.

Gu Baitang frowned, "What did Gao Mianliu kidnap the Yan sisters?"

Zhuo Xinian said: "I'm afraid I have to ask Elder Qiu about this. Gao Mianliu has always acted secretly, maybe only Elder Qiu who is familiar with him knows what he is going to do."

"You said Xiao Liu kidnapped the Yan sisters?"

At some point, Qiu Shishui had come behind him, and he seemed very shocked when he heard the news.

Zhuo Xinian bowed in a hurry, and said: "For disturbing you late at night, please forgive me for your recklessness. The Yan sisters have not come to Yan Mingtang to report tonight. The disciples sent people to look for them, but they couldn't find them anywhere. Finally, the disciples The report said that in Haishi, Senior Brother Gu asked two sisters to talk to the back mountain of Raising Beasts. However, Senior Brother Gu had been sitting in Yan Mingtang in Haishi and never left. Therefore, the person who took the two sisters away at that time must be Gao Mianliu! Beast Mountain has been completely under martial law, and the mountain has been searched and arrested, but there is no trace of Gao Mianliu and the two sisters!"

Qiu Zhishui's face paled for a while, "He, he caught the twins..."

Zhuo Xi Nian said: "The disciple reported this matter to the master, and the master ordered the disciple to come to the Qingxiu Garden to bother the uncle. I also ask the uncle to think about the secret, where will Gao Mianliu be at the moment?"

Qiu Shuishui thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "If he catches the twins, he must have figured out a way to leave the West City...but he should have unfinished business in the West City, and he should still be in the West City right now."

After finishing speaking, Qiu Shishui looked up at Gu Baitang.

The situation came so suddenly that Gu Baitang's mind was in chaos, but just as Qiu Shishui looked at him, a thought clearly popped out of Gu Baitang's chaotic mind——

Lock the Demon Palace, Li Qingyi.
