Chapter 143 What does Liu Li have to do with this?
The few words Huai Qing uttered quietly were like a scent of faith, calming Lin Zhihe's heart.
To be precise, it sank.
"Literally, it means that I am not from this dynasty." Lin Zhihe did not mention the era, because compared to the era, the dynasty is easier to understand.
"Then what dynasty are you from? Before our dynasty or after our dynasty?" Huai Qing Wuxia's expression finally changed.
He was obviously very curious, staring at her with eyes full of excitement.
Yeah, anyone would be excited.
After completing this secret technique, the successful product stood before him, and all the accusations became his medals.
"Are you from the future or from the past?" Huaiqing's voice changed, like fireworks burning in the dark night.
"I am not from the future, nor from the past. I am from another world and have nothing to do with you." Lin Zhihe narrated calmly.
Things have come to this point, she can only communicate with Huaiqing. Without Huaiqing, she can't activate that magic by herself.
"Not relevant at all?" Huai Qing was very confused by this sentence.
He frowned, trying to understand, "So where are you from?"
"I'm not from this place, do you understand? Not from this place." Lin Zhihe looked a little pale at this time. It was difficult for her to explain the two parallel time and space in simple language.
"I live in our place, not here. Our place is completely different from yours." Lin Zhihe explained while gesturing.
"Is it another country? Is it..."
"No, it's a place you would never expect."
Huai Qing was about to speak again when Lin Zhihe quickly interrupted him.
"I was living a good life, and you and Lin Zhihe switched me. Does your Taoist method allow you to go against the will of heaven and help people restore their souls? Your precious life and rebirth allow you to treat my life as worthless and allow you to switch and play with it at will?" Lin Zhihe's tone was heavy, like a erupting volcano.
Huaiqing didn't expect Lin Zhihe to question him using Taoist teachings. The prepared remarks and ideas were completely useless. His mouth was just open, but he couldn't say anything.
"Your sect has trained people like you to kill people without blinking an eye?"
"Who...who did I kill?" Huai Qing's voice sounded weak even when he asked. He was already extremely weak.
"How is it different from killing me if you just casually swap my soul like this?"
"I…"
"You'd better find a way to get me back, or I'll cut you into pieces and throw the pieces out to feed the dogs."
Lin Zhihe held his collar again and said, "Before I chop up your bodies, I will let the emperor destroy your sect and let them die in front of you. How about that?"
"It's better to think of a painful death, to..."
Before Lin Zhihe could finish her threatening words, Huaiqing interrupted her in pain.
"I... didn't really want to help Lin Zhihe make the exchange, but..."
Lin Zhihe was extremely anxious, but pretended to be calm, "Just what?"
The immortal demeanor of Huaiqing was completely gone, the gleam in his eyes was dim, and he looked very depressed. He leaned back in his chair and narrated quietly.
"At that time, Lin Zhihe kept begging me, and I had no choice but to agree to her. Moreover, this is an ancient secret technique, and I wondered how I could activate it all at once. But I have a special talent, and it really..." Huaiqing's face showed even more pain.
Lin Zhihe clenched his fist and raised it in front of Huaiqing's eyes, "If you keep praising yourself in this way, this fist will fall on your face soon."
"I really don't have one. Think about it, this diagram has been passed down for at least a thousand years, and it's still unknown whether it's correct. And with my tiny power, no one would believe that I can really perform the Soul Restoration Technique, right?"
You don't think you are innocent?
"Then why did you agree to something so absurd and immoral?"
"It would take a normal person at least eight to ten years to collect all the things in the secret book. As time goes by, the idea would fade away. But Lin Zhihe has all the Yang people and all the Yin people. With such a favorable time and place, I also want to give it a try..."
Seeing that Lin Zhihe was about to explode again, he immediately changed his words: "Lin Zhihe kept begging me, she kept crying and begging me, so I could only bite the bullet and give it a try..."
A strange feeling came over Lin Zhihe's heart.
Whenever she had doubts, she would subconsciously look at Liu Li.
Liu Li noticed the gaze, and the two of them looked at each other and immediately understood each other.
He walked around Huaiqing, pulled over a chair and sat down, the two of them were very close to each other.
"What's the relationship between you two?"
These words were solemn yet contained an indescribable ambiguity, making them extremely complex.
Hearing this question, Huai Qing stood up angrily and retorted loudly: "What are you thinking? I..."
"Sit down!" Liu Li scolded immediately.
Huai Qing sat down obediently and glanced at Liu Li with a complicated expression, "Are you from Liu Yiyuan's lineage?"
The topic suddenly shifted to Liu Li.
Although Liu Li was a little confused, she quickly answered: "Do you know my father?"
"It's a long story, and it all starts with my name."
"Do you know which Qing in my name is?"
Lin Zhihe originally wanted to say it was the "Qing" in "一气化三清", but it was obviously not the correct answer, so he asked again: "Which Qing?"
"Qing in Qingge."
Liu Li carefully recalled the names of the women in the family, and made sure that there was no female with this name, and looked at Lin Zhihe.
Lin Zhihe suddenly remembered and suddenly realized, "Lin Yingchen's fifth wife, Lin Zhihe's biological mother!"
My goodness, is there any love story here?
Huaiqing stroked his beard and began to tell the story slowly.
It turned out that the relative that Madam Qingge had taken refuge with in Kyoto City was the Taoist Huaiqing in front of her.
The two of them could be said to be childhood sweethearts, and then Huaiqing's father graduated from high school and came to Kyoto.
Although he was not a high-ranking official in Kyoto, he was able to gain a foothold and made some close friends.
Huaiqing's family all liked Qingge very much. Even though there was a gap between the two families, they still fulfilled their agreement and let Huaiqing and Qingge get married.
So Huaiqing's family sent a servant to pick up Qingge.
But here’s where the unexpected happens.
While the servant was on the way to pick someone up, Huaiqing's family was involved in a case of treason, but because they were not the masterminds, the whole family was sentenced to ten years in prison, and the women were sent to the Imperial Household Department to do odd jobs.
He was not exiled, but only sentenced to ten years. If it happened to be the emperor or the empress dowager's birthday, he could be pardoned for a few years, which was considered very lucky in ancient times.
But a family broke up just like that.
When Qingge and the servants returned to Kyoto, they saw the family in such a state.
For Qingge, her childhood sweetheart was thrown into prison and she didn't even have the chance to see him again. All the beautiful fantasies she had along the way turned into bubbles in the blink of an eye.
Everyone in the village knew that she was going to marry in Kyoto, and she was too embarrassed to go back. Caught in a dilemma, she sat in front of Huaiqing's house and cried.
She knew what happened next without Huaiqing telling her because Xiao Taohong had told her.
Lin Yingchen descended from the sky like a hero. Seeing Qingge's tears, he immediately fell in love with her and invited her to stay at the Lin Mansion temporarily.
After living there for a while, she became the Fifth Lady.
She was originally the first wife of a well-off family, but ended up being the fifth wife of a wealthy and powerful family. It was unclear whether this was a blessing or a curse for Qingge.
After listening to Huai Qing’s “past life”, Lin Zhihe had only one question left besides the emotion in his heart - what does Liu Li’s family have to do with this?
