Heaven

Seeing this celestial being on the jade bed who may have passed away for many years, Ji Kongqing finally understood why all the aliens here were so respectful to him.

The two of them actually look three or four points alike.

Maybe it was because of this reason that he was rescued by aliens at a critical moment, Ji Kongqing thought to himself.

However, this was not the main reason why Ji Kongqing was so surprised that he lost his mind.

This celestial being, his appearance is [-]% the same as Jing Mingrui!

But after careful identification, it can be found that Jing Mingrui's face is more angular, and the expressions on his face are much richer and more vivid.But the appearance of the person on the bed has an indisputable androgynous beauty, with an indifferent and alienated look on his face, giving people the feeling that he is looking down on all living beings.

Could it be that he and Jing Mingrui both look a lot like their ancestors who are real heavenly beings?

Not impossible.All the blood of heaven and man in the world comes from the queen, maybe the one lying here is actually a close relative of the queen?

Ji Kongqing looked at this heavenly being who could be said to be a combination of his and Jing Mingrui's looks, and was a little speechless.

Seeing that Ji Kongqing was just staring at him without any movement, the old man who stood aside quickly began to gesture.

It took a lot of effort for Ji Kongqing to understand that the old man thought he was also a "God" who descended from the sky, and hoped that he could awaken the gods enshrined in the temple.

Ji Kongqing observed the god carefully.It was found that he was no different from a living person except that he had no heartbeat and no breathing. His skin was delicate and smooth, exuding a faint golden light, and he could even feel a little warmth when he got close?No wonder the old man hoped to revive him.

It's a pity that Ji Kongqing is not proficient in medical skills. After checking, he found that the person on the bed really didn't look like he was alive, so he had to spread his hands to express that he was powerless.

The old man standing aside suddenly looked disappointed.

He is the Great Elder of the alien race. When he was inspecting the entrance of the grassland, he found Ji Kongqing and was immediately surprised by his appearance.

The great elder guessed in his heart that Ji Kongqing should not be a real god, otherwise he wouldn't have made himself so embarrassed.It's just that he still has a ten-thousandth hope that Ji Kongqing may have some connection with the gods, and some mysterious powers are unknown.

Besides, even if Ji Kongqing was only a distant relative or descendant of the god, as a priest of the god, the Great Elder must not stand by and watch his life and death, so he led the warriors of the clan to repel Wuman's archers and rescued him. down.

Today, after finally waiting for Ji Kongqing to wake up, the Great Elder impatiently brought him into the shrine.It's a pity that things turned out as he vaguely expected, and there was no turning point.

The Great Elder couldn't help being very disappointed.

He sighed, stepped forward gently and straightened the clothes of the god on the jade bed, and wiped off the dust on his body with a gauze towel.

60 years ago, when he was still young, he succeeded his father as the Great Elder, and began to be responsible for offering sacrifices to the gods of the clan and building the shrine.

He still clearly remembers how his father dragged his seriously ill body and tremblingly brought him into the shrine that only priests could enter and leave, and finally brought him to the place where the legend once saved the entire tribe in times of crisis. before the gods.

The people on the jade bed at that time were no different from today.

He remembered that he knelt down in front of the jade bed, kissed the seal ring in the hand of the person on the bed, and willingly made an oath to serve the god in front of him all his life.His father touched the top of his head benevolently, and handed him the cane representing the right to sacrifice with both hands.

"One day he will wake up again." His father's last whisper rang in his ears.

After that, during the countless nights when he knelt outside the door of the inner hall and chanted sacrificial scriptures, he always had a feeling that the sleeping god behind the door seemed to be about to stand up again and walk out of the temple.And he will keep his vow to serve him all his life.

The gate of the inner hall cannot be opened unless there is a major sacrifice. The old man has only entered three times including today.

It's a pity that when the inner hall was opened this time, Ji Kongqing didn't bring him any way to revive the gods.But since there are such similar people in the world, he believes that one day he will find a way to wake up the sleeping god.

The Great Elder thought in his heart, now that he is 78 years old, he will soon pass on the priesthood to the most promising young man in the clan, and he also wants to pass on this hope.

The old man cast a firm gaze on the motionless person on the jade bed for the last time, and led Ji Kongqing out of the inner hall.

Ji Kongqing walked out of the shrine, saw the blue sky and white clouds again, and let out a sigh of relief.

The majestic and ethereal atmosphere in the shrine made him a little depressed, and a face that looked very much like Jing Mingrui but with a detached expression made him even more uneasy.

Although Ji Kongqing didn't know how long he had been in a coma, he estimated from the wounds on his body that this time should not be short.He was eager to know the current situation of the Chu Army, and gestured to the old man to express his gratitude and his desire to leave because of important matters.

The Great Elder nodded and signaled Ji Kongqing to wait for a while.

He opened his mouth and let out a long, grotesque whistling, very thin like a harsh grinding sound.

Soon there were many echoes with similar voices from the foot of the mountain, one after another.The flock of sheep in the distance seemed to have heard some order, and suddenly they all knelt down on the ground, motionless.

After a stick of incense, Ji Kongqing saw many foreigners in white gauzes walking up the mountain from afar.They took the old and the young together as if they were dispatched by the whole family.

The alien who reached the top of the mountain first saluted Ji Kongqing respectfully and stood aside.It wasn't until all the people arrived that the Great Elder held up the scepter in his hand and said a lot of words loudly.

As soon as the Great Elder finished speaking, all the foreigners fell to their knees and kowtowed to Ji Kongqing.It made him suddenly at a loss, wondering if he should rush to help.

Fortunately, everyone immediately stood up again and dispersed to the sides to make way.Eight strong men carrying a huge stone slab came towards Ji Kongqing.

Eight big men carried the stone slabs to Ji Kongqing and put them down, then stepped back and stood on both sides.

The Great Elder took out a small machete from his pocket and approached the stone slab.

Ji Kongqing discovered that this huge stone slab was emitting a dense brilliance, which was obviously not a mortal thing.And in the middle of the stone slab, there is a small green stone flower growing?

Suddenly, the great elder swung his scimitar lightly, and cut off the last piece of his left little finger.

Ji Kongqing was startled, not knowing what kind of medicine the other party was selling in the gourd.

The Great Elder endured the pain, and approached the stone flowers on the stone slab with his blood-oozing hand.

The little flower suddenly burst into a cloud of green light, wrapping around the left hand of the Great Elder, and it took a cup of tea to disperse.

Ji Kongqing looked at the amputated finger that was still lying on the ground, and then at the intact left hand of the First Elder, he couldn't believe his eyes.Can this flower regenerate a severed limb?

The Great Elder smiled and picked off the flowers on the slate and handed them to Ji Kongqing.

Ji Kongqing hastily refused, thinking that he was mistaken for the descendants of their gods and thus saved, but he couldn't cheat their gods either.

The Great Elder shook his head and signaled a big man beside him to come over.

He gently scratched the back of the big man's hand with the scimitar in his hand, and brought the stone flower close to the wound, but nothing happened.

The Great Elder nodded to Ji Kongqing, motioning for him to extend his hand.

Ji Kongqing stretched out his hand suspiciously, and the Great Elder also stroked lightly on the back of his hand, still holding the stone flower close to the wound, but it immediately glowed green.Ji Kongqing only felt that his hand was warm, and found that his wound had disappeared!

The great elder gestured again, and Ji Kongqing realized that this divine flower was what the gods had been looking for all along.Unfortunately, until his death, there is no news.

It was not until more than 300 years ago that someone discovered the trace of the flower of God on a high mountain.It took a lot of effort to pick it back, but still failed to wake up the sleeping god.

Among the aliens, only the Great Elder holding a scepter can be blessed by the Divine Flower, but the wound should not be too large.Now that Shenhua recognized Ji Kongqing's bloodline of the God of God today, the Great Elder made up his mind to give it to Ji Kongqing.

Seeing that Ji Kongqing couldn't shirk it, he had no choice but to solemnly thank the First Elder for his kindness.

At this time, the Great Elder had ordered the horses to be prepared, and he also found a group of clansmen as guides and guards to escort Ji Kongqing back.

Ji Kongqing thanked her for saving her life again, and wanted to return the dress she was wearing, but the elder refused to accept it.He had no choice but to take off the complicated jewelry decorations on his clothes, and immediately set off on his way home.

"So this is the magical stone flower?" Jing Mingrui took the object from Ji Kongqing and observed it carefully.

Hearing Ji Kongqing's narration of the adventures of the past few days, he immediately felt much calmer in his heart, and he also vaguely guessed the real reason why he couldn't sense Ji Kongqing, so he finally felt relieved.

"Yes, you must have never seen such a miraculous thing. Would you like to try it yourself?" Ji Kongqing smiled, seeming eager to try.

Jing Mingrui shook his head and said, "You don't need to try, I already know the origin of this. It's your luck to get this, you have to keep it close to you." He said and handed back the stone flower in his hand to Ji Kongqing.

"Don't you want it?" Ji Kongqing frowned, he actually wanted to give this to Jing Mingrui, he remembered that today should be Jing Mingrui's real birthday.

Seeing his dissatisfied expression, Jing Mingrui suddenly realized something, and Zhanyan patted him on the shoulder: "Actually, your coming back is the best congratulatory gift."

Seeing that Ji Kongqing was still disapproving, he added: "Keep this well for yourself and keep it for me. I will check every time I have a birthday in the future!"

Ji Kongqing's heart moved when he heard the words, and he put away the stone flower with a smile.

He pulled Jing Mingrui's sleeve and said with a low smile, "I've been running all the way, I'm exhausted. I don't know where to rest tonight, how about going to His Majesty's place for the night?"

Jing Mingrui flicked the forehead of the person in front of him with his fingers: "Little Phoenix, when did you know to call me Your Majesty?" He felt sore all over after he relaxed all of a sudden, and urgently needed to have a good sleep and rest.

"Huh, so you don't like me calling you Your Majesty, but you like me calling you Little Rui? I made a note." Ji Kongqing nodded solemnly, "I'm really tired, let's go."

Jing Mingrui was extremely annoyed at being nicknamed by Ji Kongqing accidentally back then, and finally couldn't resist the bouts of drowsiness, so he dragged Ji Kongqing to his tent.
