Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Mo Qinglian is a cheerful and sunny person, completely different from him.

In just one month, Mo Qinglian and Mo Ze had become somewhat familiar with each other.

It's not that he didn't envy her, but Feng Zhi didn't have the desire to compete for it. When Mo Qinglian was chattering on and on, he didn't interrupt her, but just stayed aside and listened.

Mo Qinglian was not stingy in sharing her past with them, so without him and Mo Ze asking a single question, she knew everything about his affairs.

Mo Qinglian had been without parents since she could remember. She followed an old beggar to beg on the street and learned some skills to barely support herself. When she was older, the old beggar died.

He lived alone, starving and hungry. Until one day, a man in gorgeous clothes came to him with a group of followers, looked him down, waved his hand and gave orders to his subordinates.

Mo Qinglian didn't know what they were trying to do and instinctively wanted to run, but she was no match for them. She was locked in a cage and covered with a cloth, as if she was being transported to a place.

But something unexpected happened on the way, those people were attacked, he broke free in the chaos and ran away, he didn't know where to go, and got lost on the way. Not long after, those guys came back, he hid in the mountains and forests, and finally met them.

After Mo Qinglian finished speaking, he patted his chest with lingering fear: "Luckily I met you guys..."

After hearing his story, Feng Zhi was about to cry.

"How pitiful..." Feng Zhi lowered his eyelids and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "The old man who has been with me for so long has passed away..."

"No...it's nothing." Mo Qinglian scratched his head and tried to comfort him. "Let's not talk about me. Let's talk about you. How did you get here?"

Feng Zhi did not hide anything and told everyone about his past.

After finishing speaking, Mo Qinglian had a complicated expression on her face, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"You... at least have some pity on yourself."

Finally, Mo Qinglian managed to utter these words and sighed.

"It sounds like it's heartbreaking... just being abandoned by your parents like that."

Feng Zhi really didn't think there was anything wrong with it: "Isn't this understandable? After all, those weird people came after me, so it's normal for my parents to do this."

Although he said this, there was still a hint of loneliness in his eyes.

Mo Qinglian seemed to notice it and quickly changed the subject: "What about you? Mo Ze?"

Mo Ze, who had been silent the whole time, finally raised his eyelids and said lazily: "I have nothing to say."

"Ah? Really?" Mo Qinglian was surprised. "You've lived for such a long time, don't you have anything worth talking about?"

He was afraid that Mo Ze would get angry, so he quickly pulled it to stop him from asking any more questions.

"No." Mo Ze remained calm, "They are just ordinary things."

"For example?" Mo Qinglian asked despite his obstruction.

"For example... 30 years ago, the earth's crust moved, and the entire Zhongshan Mountain was lifted more than a thousand meters out of the sea. However, due to the huge change, the creatures originally living in the sea were unable to adapt for a while. Zhu Yin was away at the time, so Bai Ze asked me to help push the mountain back temporarily, and wait until those creatures had migrated away before slowly restoring it to normal."

"For example... 62 years ago, Qiongqi and Taotie met for the first time in Kunlun Mountain. They were just passing by, but they didn't like each other, so they started fighting. They flattened several hilltops before the fight ended under Bai Ze's suppression."

"Another example... 27.28 million years ago, Fuxi fell into eternal sleep. The heaven and earth shook, the Golden Crow cried, the Blue Luan wailed, and almost the entire world was mourning for this. Torrential rain surrounded Fuxi Mountain, from Xiuyu to Daying, covering an area of ​​thousands of miles, and it lasted for several years without stopping."

"Another example……"

Don't compare...

How is this normal?!

The more Feng Zhi listened, the more frightened he became, but Mo Qinglian seemed to be enjoying it very much.

“Are these… all true?”

After listening, he asked with interest.

"If you think it is, then it is." Mo Ze glanced at him.

"So according to what you said... what exactly are you?" Mo Qinglian asked curiously, "A god? Or a demon beast?"

"Hmm..." Mo Ze thought for a moment, "It doesn't belong to any of them. It may be more like a spirit beast."

Feng Zhi rubbed his eyebrows and couldn't help but change the subject.

He had known for a long time that Mo Qinglian was a guy who couldn't sit still.

So a few months later, when he asked to say goodbye, he didn't show any surprise or try to keep her.

But Mo Ze asked him to go out for a walk.

"W-why?" he was puzzled.

"You have been in this mountain for a long time. The phoenix tribe will go out for a walk. You humans have a short lifespan. Why are you wasting your time here?" Mo Ze tapped his forehead and said calmly, "Let's go, follow him out for a walk."

"Well, what about you?" Feng Zhi covered his head.

"None of your business." Mo Ze flicked his fingers and sent him flying.

"Then...can I come back?"

"of course can."

……

Feng Zhi walked on the street, feeling lost.

Before they left, Mo Ze gave him a handful of golden beans and told him to spend them sparingly.

He had not returned to the human world for decades and had been living in the mountains with the birds and beasts. When he suddenly returned here, he felt unwell all over and wanted to turn back.

Mo Qinglian beside him was like a fish in water, and she pulled him to plan in an orderly manner.

In fact, they didn't have any accurate plan. After much deliberation, they decided to help Mo Qinglian investigate who those people were who wanted to take him away.

With a goal, you can move forward.

They overcame one obstacle after another, and went through one difficulty after another. Before they knew it, they had become friends for life and had also made another friend.

It was a girl named Fang Xue, who, like Mo Qinglian, was a straightforward person. When they first met, she was dressed as a man and was about to steal their purse, but was caught on the spot.

After playing around for a while, they became inseparable partners.

The mystery was finally solved. It turned out that Mo Qinglian was an illegitimate child of a large family owner who was stranded outside. His mother died early after giving birth to him, and his mother ordered people to throw him away. Unexpectedly, he was picked up and raised by a beggar. Those who chased him were also ordered by his mother, because they saw that he looked very similar to his mother, and they were afraid that the owner of the family would find him and take him back to steal her son's place, so they wanted to get rid of him.

After Mo Qinglian learned the truth, he remained silent for a whole night. The next morning, he smiled and greeted his two friends who were worried about him.

"I'm not planning on going back, so why should I be sad?" Mo Qinglian laughed, "Let them fight over those boring things."

Feng Zhi looked at the nonchalant smile on his face, was silent for a moment, and then smiled gently.

Fang Xue said nothing and patted his shoulder.

"So majestic."

On the way, they unexpectedly met Mo Qinglian's father, who was riding a majestic monster and roaring past their heads. People on the roadside looked at the mighty and domineering monster and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's nothing." Mo Qinglian suddenly spoke.

He turned his head and happened to meet Mo Qinglian's determined gaze.

"There will be a day like this in my future."

He suddenly saw the unwillingness and ambition flowing in him.

They eventually separated. Mo Qinglian wanted to go to the Thunder Capital by herself. He and Fang Xue were not interested in these things. They planned to go sightseeing and introduce her to Mo Ze. Since their cultivation had broken through the Xuan realm, they did not need to worry about their lifespan for the time being. They reached an agreement to meet again in a hundred years.

But his journey with Fang Xue was not successful, and Mo Ze disappeared.

He searched aimlessly in those uninhabited mountains for a long time but couldn't find it. He felt extremely empty and terrified. Fortunately, Fang Xue kept pulling him.

Just when he was about to despair, he finally got news about Mo Ze from a mountain god named Lu Wu.

For some reason, he went to Thunder Palace and has been there for several years.

When he said he was going to find Mo Ze, Fang Xue thought he was crazy.

"That's the imperial palace, the imperial palace! We may not be able to get out once we go in." Fang Xue shook his shoulders, trying to calm him down.

"No...how will you know if you don't try?" he insisted.

There was no other way. Fang Xue couldn't bear to watch him die, so she gritted her teeth and agreed to go with him.

No matter how powerful the two were, they were no match for the emperor. The palace was heavily guarded, and although they had gathered intelligence before coming, an accident still occurred when they were about to arrive at the palace where Mo Ze was.

Seeing that the two were about to be exposed, at the critical moment, they only felt a white flash in front of their eyes, and when they regained clarity, they were already inside the palace.

There was a peach tree planted in the center of the palace. It was spring, and the petals were flying everywhere, covering the ground like a pink carpet. Some of them were scattered in the cold pond in the center, adding a bit of spring color.

Mo Ze was sitting under the tree, slightly raising his wing-like eyelashes and looking at them.

After not seeing him for many years, he is still the same as before.

Feng Zhi's heart couldn't stop beating. Holding his heart, he came to Mo Ze with trepidation and was about to ask something.

"What are you doing here?" Mo Ze slowly straightened up, and the petals slid down his hair to his neck and shoulders, what a beautiful picture of a beauty with falling petals.

"I... came to see you." Feng Zhi thought of something and turned around to introduce Mo Ze, but saw Fang Xue standing there, looking like a crazy fan.

Feng Zhi: ...

"Cough cough!" Feng Zhi coughed twice. Fang Xue came to her senses and hurriedly stepped forward, trying to hide her smile, but as soon as she smiled, her saliva started to flow.

"... Ahem." Fang Xue quickly covered her mouth and lowered her head with a blushing face. "Sorry... It's so rude."

"...No, it's okay." Mo Ze laughed and didn't feel offended.

"Sir, why are you here?" Feng Zhi asked puzzled.

"Ah..." Mo Ze paused for a moment after hearing the question, as if recalling something, "Because the owner of this palace invited me."

"what?"

It turned out that after they left, Mo Ze walked out of the mountain and came to the human world to wander around because of Zhu Yin's suggestion. One day, he rescued a man in gorgeous clothes on the road and was invited to be a guest here.

Since Mo Ze didn't have anywhere he wanted to go, he agreed.

"So...are you still going to stay here?"

"It doesn't matter, right? It's the same wherever I am." Mo Ze leaned against the tree trunk and said lazily, "If you want, you can come and see me."

Feng Zhi nodded thoughtfully, caught a glimpse of a light out of the corner of his eye, turned his head and saw that the flower that had sprouted eight years ago had already grown leaves and was growing happily upwards.

They talked a little more, mostly Feng Zhi was talking and Mo Ze was listening. When talking about parting, Feng Zhi was a little reluctant, Mo Ze saw it and comforted him in a gentle voice.

"Different destinies and different paths. Some people are destined to leave."

Feng Zhi did not comment on this, but just smiled slightly.

With Mo Ze's help, he and Fang Xue stayed quietly for a few days before saying goodbye to Mo Ze.

Then, he and Fang Xue also parted ways.

Hundreds of years had passed when they met again.

During this period, Feng Zhi looked for Mo Ze several times. Although Mo Ze's attitude was still indifferent as always, it made him feel at ease.

Several people gathered together, and Mo Qinglian and Fang Xue talked about their experiences. Mo Qinglian was just as he thought, although there were some setbacks at the beginning, she finally made a name for herself, and also established a family with some Qi cultivators who also had no background, all of whom were surnamed Mo.

Not only that, he also got married, a quiet and gentle woman. After a few drinks, he smiled and promised to introduce her to them the next time they met.

As for Fang Xue, she broke through the bottleneck and reached the peak of the Heavenly Realm. She smiled and showed off her achievements to the two of them.

Feng Zhi has been concentrating on practicing medicine in recent years and has spent most of his time on the road, treating the helpless wounded people he encounters. He has no obsession with longevity, so he rarely practices and has not made any major breakthroughs in his cultivation.

Several people got drunk all night, woke up the next day, and went on their own journeys.

Feng Zhi would still go to Mo Ze from time to time. And Mo Ze would always help him avoid the eyes of the guards, bring him directly to the palace, and move him out directly when he said goodbye.

Sometimes he felt like a pet that Mo Ze kept, spending most of his time wandering around outside, only coming home from time to time to see if his master was okay...

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he shook his head and threw it away.

After who knows how many years, Mo Qinglian successfully gained the emperor's favor and became a general under him. The magical beasts that he could only see by looking up were now within his reach.

Lei Ting is not a stable country. Although it has changed three generations of monarchs, its aggression has never stopped. Its generals are brave and good at fighting. Among them, Nangong is the bravest and most famous.

When one's achievements surpass those of his boss, unnecessary suspicion will often arise, and the invisible arms behind the scenes will push one down a path he does not want to take.

But these had nothing to do with him. Feng Zhi came to the palace again and told Mo Ze about his recent experiences. But before he could say a few words, the palace door opened.

This was unprecedented, and he couldn't help but panic, but Mo Ze showed no expression. He waved his hand to hide him, half-lying on the table and lazily looking at the person who was striding towards him.

"…You stay outside."

The woman was dressed gorgeously and looked dignified. Her slim-fitting fiery red robe had a phoenix pattern outlined in gold thread and her hairpin shone with golden light. One could tell her identity at a glance - the queen, Nangong Hongying.

Nangong Hongying gave the order, walked up to him and sat down, took out a pot of wine from somewhere, and started pouring the wine into his mouth without saying a word.

Feng Zhi didn't know what to do, he could only hold his breath and watch from the side.

"...Why are you still like this?" Nangong Hongying finally couldn't help it and asked, with a bit of anger in her voice.

"What does it look like?" Mo Ze supported his chin and flicked the leaves from time to time.

Nangong Hongying seemed a little angry, but she pursed her lips and did not continue the topic, looking away: "I... have something I want to ask you."

"explain."

"I... read those storybooks before, which said there was a queen who was loved by her parents since she was a child, but she fell in love with the king at first sight when she was young, and married the king as she wished when she grew up. Her father wanted to support her, so he worked hard to shine on the battlefield and killed people everywhere... His mother's family was loyal, but because of his great achievements, the royal family was afraid of him and asked him to hand over his military power, so-"

"I want to ask you, if you were the queen, what would you do?"
