Chapter 41
Qi'an was shocked.
Qi'an was very angry.
Qi An was so angry that his spirit was unstable. Who the hell did this?
Qi Yue was worried that he'd pissed off his ancestor on the first day of meeting him, so he quickly tried to comfort him, "Don't be so nervous. Look, I'm not crazy or abnormal now. I'm definitely still a young man with a good family background and a promising future. So, nothing is absolute; there are always exceptions."
Qi An sneered: "Of course you are not crazy, perverted, or murderous now, but you are not far away. Think about it yourself, haven't you ever lost your mind and almost lost control and killed someone?"
Qi Yue: “…” This is true.
It wasn't just the time when he almost killed Director Lin and Fan Xiuping in the hospital. When he was very young, he also lost control and almost killed someone.
At that time, Master Qi saw that he was becoming more and more popular under Gu Yunshuang's guidance and his situation was very stable. Coincidentally, the Tianshi Association had an urgent case and asked for his help, so he left.
But no one expected that four wanted fugitives had already set their sights on their home and broke in that day.
At that time, Gu's father and mother had also gone to work, and only he, Shuangshuang and Grandma Gu were at home. He was so stimulated by the strong malice in the hearts of the four fugitives who broke in and were ready to kill and rob that he lost control and almost sucked everyone in the house into ashes.
How did he wake up?
Oh, it was Grandma Gu who woke him up. She said, "Qi Yue, Grandma and Shuangshuang are going to die."
The confused little Qi Yue didn't know what death meant. His obsessive possessiveness even urged him to quickly devour both of them, let them merge with himself, and never be separated again.
Grandma Gu was not at all frightened when facing the little Qiyue who had completely turned into a ghost. She still explained to him kindly and gently, "When you die, you completely disappear and no longer exist. From now on, there will be no Grandma and Shuangshuang in this world. There will no longer be another Shuangshuang who calls out for brother when she wakes up, calls out for brother when she's hungry, calls out for brother when there's something delicious or fun to do, and who has to hold brother before she can fall asleep. There will also be no other Grandma to tell stories to little Qiyue and Shuangshuang."
Thinking of this possibility, the confused Qi Yue finally struggled to regain a little consciousness, and found that Gu Yunshuang was as unconscious as the four fugitives. His face was blue-gray, and he was almost out of breath. There was a breath of death on his body.
At that moment, Qi Yue truly felt what death was. He finally panicked and hurriedly restrained all the ghost energy he controlled. He was so panicked that tears almost fell.
Grandma Gu, who had been holding on, went forward and hugged him tightly, patted his back, and soothed him softly: "Don't be afraid, child, everything will be fine. This is not your fault, don't feel guilty or sad. But you must remember in the future that people are not like things that can be replaced when they are lost. Because everyone is unique, and once lost, it will never come back. So, you must control yourself and don't hurt the people you care about most."
Mr. Qi often told him these words, and his ears were callused from hearing them, but he had never had such a profound understanding as he did this time.
Gu Yunshuang almost died that time. After he recovered, he immediately used a talisman to save his life and that of Grandma Gu. But even so, Gu Yunshuang and Grandma Gu stayed in the hospital for a long time due to serious illness, and were given critical illness notices by doctors several times.
The four fugitives were saved by Mr. Qi who returned in time and spent a lot of effort to save their lives, allowing them to survive until they were sentenced and shot.
That incident also became his nightmare. Every time he was about to lose control, he would subconsciously worry about hurting Shuangshuang again and wake up in time.
After many times, Shuangshuang became the anchor of his humanity and rationality. As long as Shuangshuang was there, he could always regain his sanity when on the verge of madness.
Qi Yue came to realize that his obsession with Shuangshuang had been planted long ago and was so deep that it could not be solved.
Thinking of this, Qi Yue smiled easily, and then told Qi An his thoughts.
Qi An was still worried: "People are always born, grow old, and get sick. Sooner or later, he will die. What will you do then? Won't you still lose control?"
Qi Yue's smile turned very gentle: "It's okay, even if we both die, can't we still become ghosts? Then I can cling to him forever and never be separated from him."
Qi An: “…”
Qi'an's face was quizzical. What kind of real-life version of "I'll never let you go" was this? Besides, Qi Yue had said he wasn't gay, and they were just close brothers, right? Even with all that paranoia, he wasn't just gay, but brothers?
Is it because he's been stuck here for too long and can't keep up with the changing times? Is the outside world's understanding of brotherhood so different now?
Qi Yue thought he still couldn't accept it, so he stopped explaining and changed the subject, pretending to be relaxed: "I thought you would risk your life to get rid of me."
Qi An rolled his eyes. "Even if I wanted to, I'm powerless. In my current state, I can barely seal the other one, let alone get rid of you. Besides, I'm not so useless that I can't even tell if you're pretending or if you have blood on your body."
Since Qi Yue did not lose control and kill innocent people, he is still a member of the Qi family, and members of the Qi family naturally have to protect their own family.
Qi Yue was stunned for a moment, thinking of the people from the Tianshi Association who immediately changed their expressions when they learned that he was half-ghost. Sure enough, family members and outsiders are still different.
Then he heard Qi'an angrily say, "Even if they are family members, such a perverse act and such a serious mistake cannot be forgiven! Tell me! Who made you like this? Was it your unfilial son-in-law? What's his name? I will summon his soul and beat him a thousand times over!"
Qi Yue corrected him, "You're mistaken. It wasn't my father who made me like this, it was my mother. My grandfather said she was just an ordinary person. To keep me, she desperately tried all sorts of methods, using a method she heard from somewhere, to revive me. Maybe because I have Qi family blood, extraordinary talent, and a strong will to survive, she accidentally succeeded."
Qi An frowned and retorted, "Impossible! This kind of magic is not something that everyone can perform successfully. If, as you said, your mother is just an ordinary person and has never practiced magic, then she can't even draw the formation, let alone activate it. Unless, she is extremely talented."
At this point, Qi An hesitated and asked, "Is your father really a member of the Qi family?"
Qi Yue was also stunned.
Old Master Qi rarely mentioned his parents to him. He had asked before, but Old Master Qi would just say his father was dead and his mother had committed suicide because she couldn't bear it anymore. He even showed a hint of disgust when talking about his father.
Then he firmly told him that his mother was just an ordinary person, and the success of the formation was completely accidental. He also said that the affairs of the previous generation were their own business and had nothing to do with him, and he didn't need to know too much.
Qi Yue had very little affection for his parents, whom he had never met. Since Old Man Qi didn't want to mention it, he didn't ask anymore.
Now that I think about it, how could Mr. Qi, as a father, dislike his son and pay more attention to his daughter-in-law? So is it possible that Mr. Qi is actually his grandfather? In fact, his father married into the family?
But if that was the case, why did Mr. Qi repeatedly emphasize to him that his mother was an ordinary person?
He had also inquired about it and found out that no one in the metaphysical world knew that Mr. Qi had children, so the Tianshi Association was very shocked when they learned of his existence.
It is very likely that Grandpa Qi has hidden the existence of my mother from everyone, hoping that my mother can live like an ordinary person, and even never let her come into contact with the world of metaphysics. So where did she know the method of refining blood evil?
Could she know that this method was really just a coincidence?
For the first time, Qi Yue discovered that there might be a shocking conspiracy behind his life experience.
Who is plotting against him, or the Qi family, behind the scenes?
Just as Qi Yue was frowning and thinking, the ancient house suddenly began to shake violently, and the cinnabar runes around it instantly lit up, but the light became dimmer and dimmer, and the cinnabar runes also began to fade slowly.
Qi'an's expression changed drastically: "Not good! That thing has sensed your presence and is trying its best to break the seal and come after you."
As for why they came to find him, what could be more nutritious than another blood demon?
Qi Yue felt a very strong malice enveloping him, sticky and cold, making him very uncomfortable. Qi Yue's eyes turned cold in an instant.
Before he could make a move, Qi'an used his sword finger as a pen, and golden light condensed at his fingertips. He drew the character "Zhen" in the void, and slapped his palm into the sealing formation on the ground. The cinnabar rune immediately lit up with golden light, and the intensity of the shaking of the ancient house decreased a lot, leaving only a slight shaking feeling.
However, that malicious gaze disappeared.
Qi Ansong breathed a sigh of relief, then said helplessly, "We can't suppress it for long. It'll only take a few days. We have to be prepared."
When he turned around, he saw Qi Yue looking at his fingertips in surprise and curiosity.
Using fingers as pens and spiritual power as ink to draw talismans in the void is not uncommon for the Qi family who are good at talismans, but if he was not mistaken, the golden light just now should be the golden light of merit!
Is it possible to use the golden light of merit to draw talismans?
Qi An finally regained the sense of detachment he felt as an ancestor, and couldn't help but show off in front of his younger generation, "This uses the golden light of merit to replace spiritual power. The effect is much better than using spiritual power. It's a unique skill I've mastered over the past two hundred years. No one in the family has it. Do you want to learn it?"
Qi Yue's eyes lit up, and he immediately said obediently: "If I want to, please teach me, ancestor."
Since he became a ghost, he no longer had the spiritual power of a Heavenly Master, but only had ghost power. Many of the Qi family's spells and talismans could no longer be used. If he could use the golden light of his practice to replace the spiritual power, then he would be able to use the Qi family's spells and talismans again.
Maybe he could use the golden light of merit to completely seal his ghost energy, so that he could contact Shuangshuang without worrying about him being hurt again?
Thinking of this, Qi Yue's heart became more and more excited, and he was very filial and polite, performing the ancient etiquette of a younger generation meeting an elder to Qi An.
Qi'an finally felt like a good teacher teaching his own child. He did not hide anything and carefully explained the key points of using the golden light of merit one by one.
At the end, he said proudly, "Although the golden light of merit is useful, it also depends on how much merit you have accumulated. Although your ancestor was trapped here for over two hundred years, it was all to seal the blood evil and prevent it from coming out to wreak havoc on the world. Therefore, the merits gained over these two hundred years can be said to be endless, and a lot of them have been accumulated, which is why it has the effect just now. You are only a few years old, so I guess you don't have much merit to use. Don't be discouraged, remember to do more good deeds and accumulate more merit in the future."
Qi Yue concentrated on digesting the new knowledge he had just learned. He nodded in agreement without listening carefully, and then tried to condense the golden light of merit at his fingertips like Qi Ancai.
The first time I did it, I didn't control it well, and the condensed golden light was as big as a fist, brighter than a 100-watt light bulb, and it directly blinded people's eyes. There was even crackling lightning.
Qi Yue quickly drew the word "Zhen" in the void and printed it on the sealing formation. In an instant, all the cinnabar runes turned into a dazzling golden red. If you look closely, you can seem to see lightning flashing in it.
There was a faint angry roar, and then the whole old house returned to peace.
Qi An was stunned, pointing at Qi Yue with a trembling finger: "How could you, how could you possibly have so much merit? Even within the golden light of merit is there lightning and thunder?"
Qi Yue said innocently, "Ah? Didn't I tell you that? After all, I died saving the world, so I naturally had merits. When I returned to the human world, I was struck by a heavenly thunderbolt. But I don't think it was a punishment directed at me, because after being struck, my mind became clearer, and the evil spirit in my body was sealed away by the golden light of merit and the heavenly thunderbolt."
Qi An: “………………”
After a moment of silence, Qi An was ecstatic: "I was originally worried about how to deal with this thing. It has already set its sights on you and will never let you go. I was also worried that you would be devoured by it and strengthen its power, or be influenced by it, and your humanity would be overwhelmed by your ghost nature and become a blood demon like it. Now I don't worry anymore. You have so many merits in saving the world. Not only can you fully display the Qi family magic, but you can also ensure that you will not be affected by its evil spirit and lose control. If you and I join forces, there is a 50% chance that we can kill it!"
Even though it's only 50%, for the Qi family, a 50% chance is equivalent to risking their lives. If they can be 100% sure of dying together, then it is worth their all to fight, because there are often thousands of innocent people behind them.
Qi Yue nodded and agreed. As a member of the Qi family, he would not be afraid of fighting.

Mei Yao carried the unconscious Gu Yunshuang and Hu Lijing on her back and hurried to find other people as quickly as possible. Now there was no live camera, so they all hid and used inhuman means.
Hu Lijing marked Sun Zhanyuan so that she could sense his location, and it would be easy to find him.
But when they arrived at Sun Zhanyuan's location, they were surprised to find that Sun Zhanyuan and Qiao Yuanzhong's group were actually together with Xie Yuhua and Jiang Mingshuang's group.
The four of them each occupied a direction and confronted each other. The atmosphere was very subtle, and there was a sense of a Shura field with an impending storm.
Hu Lijing grabbed the demon who was about to leave and hid behind a corner. She looked at the demon's current state, rolled her fox eyes, and commanded: "Change your appearance and become the lover of that pretty boy named Jiang."
Charm: "Why? Didn't we agree that I would transform into Qi Yue so that I could help him hide his whereabouts if we ran into other people?"
Hu Lijing: "Stop talking nonsense and change. If you change, I'll take you to see a good show."
When the demon heard that there was going to be a good show, she immediately became obedient.
