The blood clan boss was sucked blood by the opponent's light god

For the sake of caution, both Shang Lai and Su Yuli stayed outside the teleportation magic circle to reduce the possibility of being discovered as much as possible.And because Xia Mixun had a contract with Ling Ying, and they had a somewhat similar aura, it was easier to get away with it, so the two of them went together.

The light of the magic circle flickered, and quickly engulfed the figures of Xia Mixun and Ying Ying. When the light in the field of vision faded and the line of sight refocused, the first thing that greeted us was a breeze with pungent and refreshing cold air from the trees.

Now, they are stepping on the thick and dense branches and leaves, standing at the foot of Zixu Mountain.

Surrounded by lush forests, covered in smoke and clouds, it was extremely quiet.The sky is getting late, and the mottled sunset light leaks from the dense and undulating tree crowns, and the mountains are full of golden light and shadows.

Xia Mixun and Ling Ying climbed up step by step on the long stone steps in the middle of the forest.The scenery around me is constantly changing, but my legs feel numb when I walk, but I seem to be walking in the same place all the time. Looking up, the top of the mountain is cloudless, and it seems that I will never go to the end.

Realizing this, Xia Mixun bent his knees and half-kneeled, and pressed the palm of his right hand to the ground. The magic power penetrated the entire steep stone steps from front to back, as if to split the entire mountain in two.After the powerful spell cast on it was completely removed, the air distorted and deformed briefly, and the whole stone steps seemed to be stripped of a layer of transparent covering. Although it was still long and far away, the naked eye could vaguely see the end .

Fortunately, the mana was supplemented last night, otherwise it might not be sure to break the spell of the stone steps.Thinking of this, Xia Mixun couldn't help sighing, whether it was lamenting Ji Mengsheng's difficult life under house arrest without freedom, or resentment at Ling Hongye's ruthless severance.

People who come can't go up, and people on the mountain can never come down.

Did Ji Mengsheng stay alone for more than 1000 years in isolation?

Looking sideways, Xia Mixun observed Ling Ying's expression. The shadow of the tree covered his face like a thick layer of gloom, and even those bright and energetic eyes that looked like Ji Mengsheng were deeply dimmed.

"My mother and concubine have lived in seclusion from the world since childhood. She is free and free. She can do whatever she wants and do whatever she wants." Lang Ying said quietly, "She likes to sing and dance, but in the palace, she likes to sing and dance. Here, there are people staring at everything she does, so she simply does nothing. After coming here, no one cares about her anymore. How high is this mountain? Standing on the top of the mountain, it seems that the whole world is closed Fundus, but she can't go anywhere."

Xia Mixun pursed his lips, unable to comfort him, so he patted Ling Ying's shoulder vigorously.

He recalled that on the day of Lang Ying's [-]th birthday, he brought him here and wanted to take Ji Mengsheng out, but as soon as he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he was intimidated back by the little wolf felt doll with Ji Mengsheng's consciousness——

she never wants to leave

At the end, I lightly dropped the last sentence: That child has nothing to do with me.

Indifferent to the extreme, ruthless and emotionless.It seemed that what I was holding in my hand was not her little fur ball at all.

"Look, the little fur ball that the deity picked up from the dungeon has grown taller than the deity. He is a big hairy child. He has always missed you, you should give him a hug."

Staring at the ugly wolf felt doll, he muttered dissatisfiedly, dragged Ying Ying who looked back frequently, and walked away without looking back.

Since then, Ling Ying never proposed to come to Ji Mengsheng again.Although he would often mention what Ji Mengsheng had said, his tone was only peaceful and relieved, as if Ji Mengsheng was just someone he didn't want to do at all.

Exhaling a heavy and sluggish breath, Xia Mixun's heart was still panicked and uncomfortable.After being with Shang Lai, his originally rough and vague feelings were gradually carved out of shape, becoming richer and richer, and he became more and more hopeful that there was only a warm and complete reunion around him.

Finally, the two stood in front of the gate of the courtyard on the top of the mountain.The wind blew through the woods, and the leaves rustled lightly, like light rain.

Except for the sound of the mountains and forests, everything is silent.

I don't know what kind of life Ji Mengsheng lived behind this door whose red paint had long since fallen off, and what kind of accidents he encountered.

"Squeak-"

The dry, harsh sound of hinges.

The door was slowly pushed open, and the aura that had been sealed for thousands of years pounced on the two of them head-on, blew towards them like a substance, then brushed past their sides, and dispersed outward with transparent ripples.

Inside, there is a clean courtyard. The pomegranate flowers are in full bloom. The bright red is like continuous fire, mixed among the dense green branches and leaves, which is particularly dazzling and vivid.

It's just that the more lively the flowers bloom, the more desolate and pitiful this place looks, as if they are the real masters here.

Bypassing the rockery surrounded by luxuriant flowers and leaves, Ji Mengsheng's residence is behind, with white walls and green tiles, and sharp eaves, reflecting the shadows of the whirling trees, casting ambiguous shadows on the windows.

The door was half-open, and there was a dark gap, faint and deep, without a gleam of light, and could not feel a little bit of life.

Ling Ying's breathing couldn't help but become heavy, Xia Mixun noticed that his hand pushing the door trembled slightly, unable to contain the fear and tension in his heart at all.Not only because of the ominous sign that the protection program of the sundial for watching the drama was suddenly interrupted, but also because Ling Ying didn't know how to face his mother and concubine at all.

It's been too long, they have been separated for too long, so long that if there is no sundial, the only token of watching the drama, the bond that maintains each other may have been weathered in endless time.

After stepping over the wooden threshold, as soon as their front feet landed on the ground, both of them felt a chill from the soles of their feet all the way to the top of their heads.

Xia Mixun called tentatively, "Ms. Ji, are you there?"

The candlelight was faint and silent.

For a long while, there seemed to be a soft rustle coming from inside, and soon it disappeared.

The two were even more worried, and walked into the inner room cautiously, only to see a person lying lazily and casually on the soft couch playing with his mobile phone in the gloom.The fluorescence of the screen illuminates her facial contours, her facial features are heroic and beautiful, it is obviously Ji Mengsheng.

The mobile phone is so fun, Ji Mengsheng didn't seem to notice anyone coming in, and kept swiping furiously. After a long time, she suddenly frowned and muttered angrily:

"Why did Jinjiang collapse again, and let no one live?"

Xia Mixun: "..."

No, no, can the love of reading novels about two heads falling in love be hereditary?

Disappointedly throwing the phone aside, Ji Mengsheng slowly got up from the couch, slipped on a pair of Shiba Inu slippers and wanted to get the charger, looked up and saw Xia Mixun and Lang Ying standing there like tree stumps, and smiled slightly. Startled, a strong surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he calmly said: "Sit down?"

After tidying up the room a bit, and opening the windows to let in the daylight, the room was immediately clearer and brighter.Ji Mengsheng casually tied her long, slightly curly brown hair into a high ponytail, took two cans of Coke from the refrigerator and placed them in front of them, "Coca-Cola, not Pepsi."

Xia Mixun thanked him, and gently nudged Lang Ying with his elbow, signaling him not to be dumbfounded and speak quickly.Lang Ying didn't raise his eyes, he just lowered his head and said in a muffled voice:

"Mother and concubine, long time no see, I am Lang Ying."

Ji Mengsheng smiled, "I know."

Xia Mixun's eyebrows twitched wildly, and his temples throbbed with pain.What kind of unbelievable and weird dialogue is this?How can a normal family say "Mom, hello, I'm your son"?

"Ms. Ji, let me introduce myself first, this deity is..."

"Your Majesty." Ji Mengsheng stretched out his hand, and shook his hand very hard, and held it for a long time, as if many emotions were hidden in this movement.

Xia Mixun briefly explained the ins and outs. After hearing this, Ji Mengsheng still showed no expression, but said in a low voice: "I'm fine. The power of the sundial for watching dramas will soon disappear, and there is no need to keep the protection program. Here Before, if you want to try again for the last time, I would like to help you."

This is probably the last chance.

Xia Mixun and Lang Ying looked at each other and nodded firmly.

Ji Mengsheng's start-up process is no different from Lang Ying's. When the square light curtain is projected, it is the same as before, blank and blank.At this moment, I saw Ji Mengsheng reached out his hand, and slapped the sundial for watching the drama vigorously, like dealing with an old TV with a bad signal.

Xia Mixun & Lang Ying: "..."

The physical way is really useful.The screen flickered several times, and suddenly "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was played, or the famous scene of "Cui Guo, break her mouth"...

Xia Mixun: ... is also a teacher of Zhen, and he and Lang Ying are as close as they can get!

Ji Mengsheng smiled embarrassedly, continued to slap the sundial roughly, and then successively showed earthy videos, new episodes of the current season, old puppet delays, and Xiao Xiurong's online class...

Xia Mixun: Tmall's Box

After tossing around for a while, the sundial for watching the drama didn’t even switch screens, and kept flickering there, just when everyone thought it was about to burp completely, suddenly, it projected a Chinese class PPT...

Or the famous "The Gift of the Magi".

A voice with a perfect accent began to read the preview reminder:

"Christmas is approaching, a young couple wanted to give each other gifts, but by accident, their precious gifts became useless things. In fact, they got something more precious than anything else - love. "

Then, he read the text aloud in an authentic dubbed tone with great emotion.

"...my clumsy pen here tells the reader the untwisted and unsurprising story of two stupid children who lived in an apartment and who unwisely sacrificed for each other the most precious things in their house .”

"...but of all who give gifts, these two are the wisest. And of all who receive gifts, such as they are the wisest. They are the Maggie."

Finally, the light curtain in mid-air flickered for a moment, like a TV that had been pulled out of the power plug, and went completely dark.

Ji Mengsheng nodded firmly, "Scrap recycling, three yuan a catty."

Xia Mixun and Lang Ying held their foreheads weakly.

"Is there anything else you need to do?" Ji Mengsheng looked at them, with the intention of issuing an order to evict them.

Xia Mixun glanced at Lang Ying. From the beginning to the end, there was no direct communication between him and Ji Mengsheng, not even a word.

Ji Mengsheng said quietly: "If you don't have one, please go back, I will participate in the alignment between the East and West palaces later."

Lang Ying raised his head abruptly, and immediately responded.

The harem of Wujing Kingdom is divided into the East Sixth Palace and the West Sixth Palace. Ji Mengsheng is in the Lenggong, and Lang Hongye has not established a queen so far. Concubine Fa and Concubine Cai are the leaders.

The East Sixth Palace and the West Sixth Palace have always been in conflict. Of course, the internal struggles are also quite fierce. "Zhen Huan's Biography", "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", "Story of Yanxi Palace", "Golden Branch Desire", etc. are staged in turn without repetition of.In Ling Ying's memory, dozens of conflicts and disputes occurred in the East and West Zodiac almost every day.

There used to be a newly promoted nobleman who was quite beautiful, and whoever put all his energy into inserting needles into her bedroom every day was a cursed doll.The nobleman was very scared at first, but later he got used to it. The first thing before going to bed every day is to lift the quilt to find the cursed doll, which is more exciting than opening the blind box.Later, she found out that she had opened a duplicate one, and she left a note asking if she could have a hidden payment.

At that time, the demon clan was powerful and powerful, and they were eyeing Wujing Kingdom covetously, stepping on the line and provoking several times.The current situation is turbulent, and the ruling and opposition parties have not yet settled down. Lang Hongye has to spend a lot of money to turn the tide. It is impossible for him to take care of this matter because he has no heart in the harem.Therefore, everything can only be mediated by Ji Mengsheng, who was the immovable C of the East Sixth Palace at the time. People are tired, and the heart is even more tired.

She also collected those furs and poked a wolf felt doll for Lang Ying, saying it was to relieve pressure.

Now that things have happened, Lang Ying never imagined that although the concubine mother is in the cold palace, she still has to get involved in these messy things. Isn't she afraid of getting burned? !

Seeing through Lang Ying's thoughts, Ji Mengsheng explained indifferently: "Now the contradiction between the East and West Zodiac is more intense and almost irreconcilable, and I can't stay out of it."

Xia Mixun, who was at the side, couldn't help thinking that Su Yuli had told them before coming here that the people's living standards in the Wujing Kingdom have been constantly improving, and all aspects have finally settled down.It is very likely that Ling Hongye, who is almost cirrhotic from overwork, will finally be willing to enjoy the happiness and visit the beauties in the harem more often. In this way, the concubines will naturally scramble to grab this hard-won sweet pastry.

When Xia Mixun was engaged in rehabilitation training for vegetative people, he watched a lot of Gongdou dramas with Lang Ying. He really couldn't imagine how cruel and terrifying what Ji Mengsheng said would be the Zodiac Match.

Just when the two were full of worry and confusion, Ji Mengsheng rolled up his cuffs, twisted his long ponytail into a ball head, and sat down solemnly at the table, using both his mobile phone and computer——

In full swing, the critics started the rankings.

Xia Mixun & Ling Ying:? ? ?

"Do you think the concubines in the palace are still the same as before?" Ji Mengsheng's calm voice rang out, "Is the mobile phone not fun? Is chasing stars not fun? Are Lujiang novels not good? Who wants to waste time fighting back and forth?" ah?"

Ling Ying: "The irreconcilable contradiction refers to...?"

Ji Mengsheng sighed softly. "Now, the east and west twelve houses are all obsessed with star chasing, the west six houses are promoted by Shang Lai, and the east six houses are all your fans," she pointed at Xia Mixun, "Black Mass."

Xia Mixun scratched his head, "Are you also a fan of this deity...?"

"About the fact that the mother of this deity's manager and best friend is actually a fan of this deity"

"Well...how should I put it..." Ji Mengsheng hooked the corners of his mouth, revealing a fleeting smile. "If I really want to talk about my personal preferences, neither you nor that black god is my favorite." She rubbed her chin thoughtfully, "I still prefer to look pretty and cute, but in reality it is very tough and a bit black-bellied." type."

Xia Mixun: "...you and Ling Ying are really the same in every respect."

Ji Mengsheng seemed to have never heard of it, and his bright and energetic eyes just stared at him without blinking, very focused, as if he wanted to stare at flowers on his face, but his eyes were a little wandering, as if only In order to control their eyes from falling elsewhere.

Don't fall for the one who shouldn't, can't, and doesn't deserve to see.

"You may not know that since you came to the world, I have been watching you all the time. I will watch all your activities in the world, whether it is TV dramas or variety shows. When I watch it, it seems that I am very close to you. It's close at hand." Ji Mengsheng's voice trembled suddenly, and became imperceptibly low. "It's a pity, I can't leave Zixu Mountain even one step."

"You obviously had a chance." Lang Ying retorted hoarsely.

"But I don't want it." Ji Mengsheng raised his chin slightly, "After asking what should be asked and what should be said, please go back, and don't bother me again in the future."

"Why do you just refuse to leave this place...?" Lang Ying's clasped hands gradually tightened, his joints trembling. "The sundial for watching dramas is useless, Lang Hongye...I won't need you anymore."

He knew it from the very beginning, when he was taken to the Devil's Dungeon.

Mother and concubine, Ji Mengsheng resolutely chose Lang Hongye between himself and Lang Hongye.

Even if Lang Hongye is extremely ruthless, even if he has always only regarded her as a tool that can be used.

In fact, what I expect is not to give myself a little more warmth that has been delayed for thousands of years after my mother and concubine leave here.A little bit is also a luxury, and a little bit is also a treasure that can't be obtained.All thoughts and thoughts, only the concubine mother can be liberated from this cage and return to her carefree life as a young girl.

Even if you are alone, you are free.

"It's been more than 1000 years. Has anyone else been to Zixu Mountain besides us? I'm afraid Lang Hongye has completely forgotten about you. After leaving here, you can live any life you want, and you will no longer be a god or witch. The descendant of the family is not the Concubine Xi of Wujing Kingdom, so you can do whatever you want, and you don't have to worry about who will become your bondage."

Lang Ying's words were choked up, and Dabai's ears couldn't help but protrude from the top of his head.The ears are exactly the same as Ji Mengsheng's, white, soft, and furry.Although the little wolf felt doll that Ji Mengsheng poked for him was ugly, only the pair of big white ears were lifelike and full of air.

"I know." Ji Mengsheng nodded slowly, she knew everything.But it is precisely because he knows everything that he is trapped in the most terrifying cage in the world. Although it is not as tangible as Zixu Mountain, there is no possibility of escape.

"But I, I don't want to."

Xia Mixun and Lang Ying walked slowly down the mountain side by side, and when they reached the middle of the mountain, Xia Mixun suddenly turned his head and looked up at the courtyard that had become very small.The colorful clouds cruising slowly all over the sky were reflected in his eyes, showing unpredictable and wonderful brilliance.

"It's the same as my [-]th birthday." Lang Ying sighed deeply, breathing heavily and slowly, full of unwillingness and loneliness.

Xia Mixun remained silent, and after a while, he solemnly shook his head.

"Do not."

"Different."

"That night, as soon as we came to the foot of the mountain, we were stopped by Ms. Ji before we even had time to touch the barrier of Zixu Mountain. But this time, judging by her reaction, we can clearly see that our appearance was beyond her expectation. The first Once the magic wave was not triggered, but it was known in advance, and the second time the spell of the entire stone step was broken, but it was not noticed at all. Combined with the magical properties of the sundial for watching the drama, do you know what we can boldly guess from it?"

Xia Mixun's eyes flickered, and he stared straight at Lang Ying, "Ms. Ji, your mother and concubine may have predicted the future direction in advance, and took this as a guide to act."

Ling Ying said in a daze: "However, unlike looking back in the past, peeking into the future goes against the common sense of how this world operates. Among the known foreign magics, there is no feasible predictive magic. Moreover, if my mother and concubine really have the ability to predict the future Ability, how could I allow myself to fall into such a sad situation step by step..."

The voice sank in panic following the setting sun that was about to fall from the top of the mountain.

The two stood in the bright afterglow of the sky, looking at each other speechlessly, but the thoughts in their hearts were like icebergs in the deep ocean, rising to the surface of the sea little by little.

Xia Mixun's lips were tense, and he said with difficulty: "You told me that your mother and concubine offended Ying Hongye because she refused his request to use the sundial ability to watch dramas for him, and she was imprisoned in Zixu Mountain The two of them met when they were teenagers, and your mother and concubine have used the sundial for watching dramas for him so many times, there is no reason why they would not agree to just one death."

Unless, that time touched Ji Mengsheng's secret taboo.

Xia Mixun heard Ling Ying's breathing became heavy, and it accelerated along with his heartbeat.He moved his lips, unable to speak at all, and neither could Ying Ying.

Watching the sundial, observing the past, and searching for the origin, all other worlds know that it is such a use.But no one has ever thought that this ability is not the most important ability of watching the sundial, and even, it is just a disguise to prevent people from discovering its true power.

"That is to predict the future and spy on the direction of fate." Xia Mixun said word by word.

"Impossible...absolutely impossible!" Lang Ying slowly bowed his body as if in excruciating pain, and an out-of-tune hoarse growl was squeezed out of his throat.

"In this case... what am I...? Everything I have suffered has become a big joke!"
