Heaven

"Your Majesty, did you ever play with a hornet's nest when you were young?"

Jing Mingrui frowned at Muruoyi's first words.Jing Mingrui didn't have such a so-called childhood, and naturally he couldn't have done those naughty things like poking a hornet's nest.At this moment, he is worried about Ji Kongqing's situation, and he is a little impatient with Muruo's sudden remark.

"Use a bamboo pole to pick up the entire honeycomb, throw it into the water, soak it for a stick of incense, and then pick it up. Then break the honeycomb bit by bit, and you can see the wasps that were drowned inside. There are also larvae sealed in small hexagonal grids. Until the deepest part of the hive, a fat queen bee can finally be found. Her abdomen is very long, and her wings can only cover a small half. Disgusting juices are still oozing out of the swollen stomach... The queen bee doesn't need to work, and there will naturally be offspring to bring food to her mouth, she just needs to keep laying eggs and making offspring..." Mu If Ruo was talking to himself, he suddenly paused here, looked at the anxious Jing Mingrui and smiled, "My royal father is just like the queen of the peak, he can't leave the range of the sacred tree, he can only live In the palace, waiting for the offspring created by him to bring back the engraving on the body of the heavenly man."

Jing Mingrui couldn't help raising his eyebrows, he didn't think that the engravings of heaven and man could be used as a great tonic soup.

"Immortal, he probably wants to get all the engravings, and eventually live forever like a real heavenly being." Seeing the puzzled expression on Jing Mingrui's face, Muruo slowly revealed the secret in his heart, "I don't want to live forever either." I don't know how long he has lived, but his appearance has never changed in the past few decades. Probably the only difference from Peak Queen is that our birth requires a lot of his power, and he can only produce produce an offspring.

Since we have a human form, he taught us how to use the power of blood to peel off the imprint of heaven and man.Until we have learned almost all the methods of subduing the descendants of heaven and man, he will let us cross the river to the Central Plains..."

"I still remember the day before I left, it was the season when the sacred tree was in bloom. He sat under the colorful fallen leaves and told me with a smile that he and I were one. A stronger power can take his place, become the eternal king, and even become the eternal ruler of this world..." Muruo was in a daze, as if remembering the ignorant years long ago.At that time, he was still a heartless and ruthless qualified tool, and he set foot on the small boat to the north alone with the confidence that he could survive.

"Of course, even if we don't collect enough engravings, we have to come back when the time comes. Because our bodies are time-limited and cannot last. So the only thing in front of us is to defeat him or be absorbed by him. It's just a road. When I first set foot on the land of the Central Plains, I never thought that I might be the one who failed..." Muruo's face was a little sad, "It's a pity that my thought of taking it for granted was immediately shattered! I got a relic left by an older brother. I am thirteenth and he is eleventh. He should be only two generations older than me. According to his deduction, those words about being able to defeat and replace him are all about the father. It’s just a lie! Father, he has already merged with the holy tree. As the fruit of the holy tree, we have no chance of winning against him! And as long as we appear in front of him, the engraving power that we rely on for survival will be destroyed. Easily absorbed. So Brother Eleven wanted to find a way, a way to solidify the engraving in the body. Only in this way can he maintain his strength in front of his father, and even kill his father. It's a pity...it's a pity that he Too much time wasted, not to mention not getting enough strength, and it was only when we made the move that we found out that we had already been restrained, and we couldn't make a move against the main body at all..."

"You made such a big circle, just want me to do it for you?" Jing Mingrui said angrily.

"That's right." Mu Ruo forced the corners of his mouth to twitch, "If anyone else in this world can kill him, it can only be you, Your Majesty! Father thought that after he sucked all the engravings, I would definitely die, so he decided to kill him." Someone threw me out of the palace at will. But he didn't expect that I got a hardened engraving from you, which is enough for me to see His Majesty and tell you his weakness."

"He thinks he is invincible in the world, but he doesn't know that every time he absorbs a new engraving, it is the moment when his ability is weakest!" Muruo said sarcastically, "Otherwise, it would be impossible for Eleventh Brother to lose all the engravings. escaped from birth."

"So you put your own life into it, just to create an opportunity for me to kill him?" Jing Mingrui sneered, "Do you think I will be at your mercy?" He knew in his heart that the biggest weapon in Muruo's hand The bargaining chip is Ji Kongqing who has been missing for a long time.But if he mentioned it first, it would be easier for Mu Ruo to take advantage of it, so he had to refrain from talking.

"Father, he... cough cough... every time he gets a new engraving, the range of induction will expand. After careful exploration, I just happened to hide Brother Qing outside his current induction circle. He also One day I can absorb all the engravings, and then I will immediately find the location of Brother Qing, who I deliberately left an engraving on. I have hidden him extremely well, and His Majesty will never find him in one day. So...cough...cough...Even if it is for Brother Qing, Your Majesty should consider my suggestion carefully. The holy tree, his life and the holy tree are one, as long as the person and the tree are cut off together, it will be destroyed. Can kill him!"

Mu Ruo gasped for breath. He raised his hand to grab Jing Mingrui's sleeve, but he couldn't do anything: "Your Majesty... cough cough... Your Majesty... I beg you, kill him for me! I... ...In my life...the most...hate...being controlled by people. Kill him, don't...don't...let me die...no...close...eyes!"

……

His vision was a little blurred, and Muro could barely make out Jing Mingrui's voice as he walked away.

Father, for the sake of this situation, I did not hesitate to let him seriously injure me twice.

Hehe, you will definitely like it.I tried it myself, his gun is very sharp, you will love the feeling of being pierced through flesh and blood!

Muruo suddenly saw the scene when she was just born in a trance.That ugly look that was not human at all, bloody and bloody, that look that stretched out its arms from the cocoon that was entwined with blood vessels...

Father, you really only wanted to make a tool.Mu Ruo sneered in her heart.

You don't even assign me any gender!

It's a pity that you didn't expect that anyone, even if it's just a humanoid tool, would want to live and yearn for freedom...

------------

Ji Kongqing's back hurts.

He could feel that the day after the flesh on his back was ripped off, he had already started to have a high fever.The connection with Jing Mingrui became blurred, sometimes even completely interrupted.The ever-present pain behind him made it difficult for him to concentrate on feeling Jing Mingrui's position.He could only vaguely feel that the distance between them seemed to be getting farther and farther.

How far is it from Danyang?Ji Kongqing could tell from the sounds of the outside world and the bumps in his body that he had not only been in a carriage, but also on a boat.Danyang, who should have been away for a long time, even left the range of Chu Le, right?

hell!Why is it so related to being kidnapped? !Ji Kongqing couldn't help but think of her own childhood experience, the same ailment all over her body, the same involuntary...

Mingrui must be going crazy, right?He thought a little sadly, if he had been more careful, he wouldn't have given Mu Ruo a chance.What exactly is he trying to do?Instead of killing himself, he even sent him half-dead thousands of miles away... The only person who could be counted against was probably Ming Rui.Ji Kongqing couldn't help feeling a little worried.He tried his best to stay awake, and wanted to find a chance to leave a mark, but the high fever for days finally made him fall into a coma.

When he woke up, Ji Kongqing blinked, almost suspecting that he was blinded.He groped for a long time before he realized that he was imprisoned in a cave.The entrance of the cave is sealed by dense vines, and only a ray of sunlight shines in at certain times of the day.Such a simple cage, if he was not injured, he could easily get out of it.It's a pity that the current him, even crawling to the entrance of the cave is the result of exhausting all his strength.

Ji Kongqing tore off two vines with his fingers, and was already gasping for breath.He leaned against the stone wall and observed the situation inside the cave through the sunlight.There was nothing in the cave, and Muruo didn't leave any food behind, and what's worse, he didn't leave any water either!With my current state, it is absolutely impossible to survive three days!Ji Kongqing thought in despair.

When he opened his eyes again, Ji Kongqing smelled a faint smell of blood.He saw a man in white standing in front of him.

Muruo?

No, the person in the white floor-length gauze looks much younger than Muruo, about thirteen or fourteen years old.

The boy was playing with a snow-white jade bracelet facing the sun.Ji Kongqing recognized that it was a gift from Jing Mingrui.It was on the night of their wedding, Jing Mingrui asked him to close his eyes and put such a thing on him, and said with a smile that everyone in the Jing family had a personal jade article, since Ji Kongqing was also considered a jade article. After entering the Jing's house, he carved one for Ji Kongqing himself.This bracelet is different from the bracelets worn by ordinary women. It is said to be a bracelet, but it is more like a slightly narrower jade wristband.I don't know what kind of material Jing Mingrui used, but the bracelet is so hard that it can't be hurt by swords.

"This thing is really exquisite, and the craftsmanship in the Central Plains has been getting better and better over the past few hundred years." The man in white sighed, "Why don't you just give it to me?"

Just as Ji Kongqing was about to speak, the man in white suddenly laughed in a low voice: "I'm so confused, when I eat you, your things will naturally be mine, so do you need to ask? Although it seems to be full Yes, but it would be nice to have some after-dinner snacks."

The man in white shot like lightning, grabbed Ji Kongqing's neck and lifted him up high.Surrounded by the terrifying killing intent, Ji Kongqing could only feel his bones trembling, and a sense of fear welled up from the depths of his heart, and he couldn't even arouse the slightest sense of resistance.

Mo is in a great mood.

He originally thought that it would take him a few days to fully absorb the new engraving, but unexpectedly after a few hours, he seemed to have broken through some restrictions, and the power of the engraving suddenly flowed dozens of times faster than before. After a moment of effort, the reorganization has been completed.

Is it finally done?

He was ecstatic. After so many years, finally... Finally, he was about to fulfill his long-cherished wish of eternal life?The sacred tree on the side also swayed with his cheerful mood.

He sensed a faint engraving breath, and caught the man back from the cave out of curiosity.The descendants of heaven and man in the territory of Yongle have been killed by him long ago, how could another one appear?Look at his clothes...could it be brought by Muruo?Although it may not be beneficial for him to eat him today after he is done, but he has already formed the habit of absorbing the engraving over the years... Mo squinted his eyes and began to think about how to torture this latest prey.

"You are so beautiful... You are almost comparable to my father..." Mo's eyes suddenly appeared in a trance, and the sunlight fainted into a halo behind this sickly mortal, making him seem to vaguely see the young man. The shadow of that gentle and beautiful man.

"!" Mo Yi threw Ji Kongqing far away with a wave of his hand, hitting the trunk of the sacred tree straight.His face was full of astonishment: "Thirteen seems to let me eat some weird things together, and I will feel reluctant to part with a mortal? This is not good. The life of a mortal is fragile and short. It is not easy to preserve as a toy."

He bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then flashed to Ji Kongqing: "How about this, after I suck your flesh and blood dry, I will plant the seeds of the holy tree into your empty shell and make you into a puppet, just like He will always be with me, okay?"

Ji Kongqing looked in the direction of Mo's finger, and saw a hollow on the huge tree trunk behind him, a young man in white sat cross-legged inside, with a playful smile on his face that was exactly the same as the person in front of him!

"Hehe... let's do it like this! Little Twelve will be very happy knowing that you are with him." Mo happily clapped his hands and laughed, and slowly approached Ji Kongqing step by step.He likes to appreciate the frightened and desperate expression of the prey before death, the more beautiful the distorted expression on the face of the person, the more he likes it.

Suddenly, the bodies of the two people present shook violently at the same time.

"Thirteen is so naughty, he even brought back a tail. Or did he prepare another big meal to honor me?" Mo looked at the surprised expression on Ji Kongqing's face, and if he realized something, "Could it be that the people outside are here for you?"

Ji Kongqing bit her lower lip hard, but she still couldn't calm down her current mood.

Ming Rui, Ming Rui is outside!
