Gu Qingqiao slept restlessly.

I had been lying in bed for most of the day before, and I had been lying down for a long time with backaches and backaches. However, I lost a lot of energy, and I was also groggy and unable to wake up in a daze.

Gu Qingqiao secretly groaned//groaned, and turned over for an unknown number of times.

A hand rested lightly on his forehead, with slender fingers and a slightly cool body temperature.Gu Qingqiao suddenly opened his eyes.

"Ah Yun?" He exclaimed in surprise, firmly grasped the hand resting on his forehead, and pulled it to his cheek to rub it.

Mu Xiyun smiled and said, "It's already dawn, why are you still sleeping in?"

Gu Qingqiao turned over and sat up, for some reason, his body felt better.He asked enthusiastically, "When did you come? Have you had breakfast? I'll buy it for you."

Mu Xiyun lowered her eyes, looking a little lonely, "Where is there a breakfast stall? Qingqiao, the demon army is about to invade the Central Plains. When people in the city heard the news, they all fled."

"The demons invade? Escape?" Gu Qingqiao's heart skipped a beat, did this moment come so quickly?

"Then let's go too!" He jumped out of bed, pulled Mu Xiyun up to go outside.

"Qingqiao," Mu Xiyun broke away from his hand. "When I entered the city today, I saw a family running out of the city, surrounded by the fleeing crowd. The father was carrying the burden, and the mother was holding the youngest son. There was also a little boy who ran with his parents. But there were so many people at the gate of the city, and the child separated from his parents after a while, crying very sadly."

Gu Qingqiao reached out and caressed Mu Xiyun's face, "Ah Yun, there are more than tens of millions of people suffering in this world, you can't control them. Let's go to the East China Sea together, stay away from the Central Plains, stay away from right and wrong, and live peacefully for the rest of our lives. OK?"

Gu Qingqiao gently lifted Mu Xiyun's chin, just like that night in Hairpin Xiaozhu, Mu Xiyun's wet red eyes, hesitant to speak, made his heart tighten again.He vaguely guessed what Mu Xiyun was going to say next, but for the first time he didn't want to hear his words.

Mu Xiyun's cold voice came: "I'm sorry, I can't let go of the common people in this world." After speaking, she turned around and left without a trace of nostalgia.

"Ah Yun!" Gu Qingqiao was flustered, he stretched out his hand to grab it, but there was a slap, his finger bumped into something, and his whole body trembled immediately.

Gu Qingqiao opened his eyes, in front of him was the carved bed top.The body was still lying on the bed, and the feeble fingers knocked on the bedpost painfully.

Just now, was that a dream?It feels so real.Gu Qingqiao smiled wryly.

Getting out of bed and pouring himself a glass of water, Gu Qingqiao regained his composure.

Outside the window, someone softly called "Your Highness".That voice was like melting ice and snow, it seemed to carry the endless coldness of an iceberg, but it was also like the warm sun on ice, carrying a trace of warmth from melting snow.

"Mulin? Why did you get up so early? How long have you been asleep?" Zhang Jinjin reprimanded softly, but his tone was gentle.

When did you hear Zhang Jinjin talk like that?Gu Qingqiao was a little curious, quietly walked to the window, turned sideways and looked out.

The courtyard was full of flowers and trees, and under the cover of flowers and trees, the two stood and sat one by one.

The person standing there has a handsome face, but the owner of the face always has firm eyes and thin lips, making the face that could be easily flirtatious like a strict master, so that people dare not get close to it.He stood there with a tall and straight posture, and his whole body was like a straight pine tree. No matter how winds blow from east to west, from north to south, he will not move.

The one who is sitting or not is Zhang Jinjin.

"It's okay. It's just two hours less sleep." Cang Song said: "I heard that something happened to Lingshan, how are you doing now?"

"It's okay." Zhang Jinjin replied. "Someone opened a hole in Lingshan from Beiyuan, and let a pool of glacial water come over. I don't know what the purpose is. Uncle Huang also met his former junior brother on Lingshan. In addition, a wooden-legged man was found in Yinlong Villa , it should be related to the Black Flood Dragon in the East China Sea back then. Something happened in Shanhai City too, alas, I don’t know if it happened by bad luck or someone was behind the scenes. Uncle Huang is still lying in the room at the moment. Really It's frustrating."

"Your Highness," Mu Lin knelt half-kneeling in front of Zhang Jinjin, as if trying his best to restrain himself, raised his hand and lowered it slowly, "You have worked hard."

Zhang Jinjin chuckled, looked into his eyes, took his hand, and played with it between his own. "You have traveled thousands of miles, entangled with those old men for several months, and you have been working so hard to come here these two days, isn't it hard work? We are all just doing our best."

Mu Lin pulled up the hands that were shaking, carefully raised his slender fingers to his lips, and pressed a light kiss almost reverently.

Zhang Jinjin's ears turned red.He tilted his head and coughed twice, pulled Mu Lin to stand up, and sighed: "Your family expected you to make meritorious service in front of the devil, but you chose to help me... In the past few years, you have been running around here and there, and you still don't know what to do." You have to deal with those old foxes, I know, you used to hate those people the most..."

Mu Lin slowly stretched out his hand and gently put his arm around Zhang Jinjin's shoulder. "Where you are, I will be there. This is something that has been agreed a long time ago, isn't it?"

Zhang Jinjin looked up and stared into his eyes. After a few breaths, he finally lost his battle and said with a smile, "Forget it. It's rare to be able to get together for a few days without saying those spoiling things. Let's go, have breakfast, and then go to see the emperor's uncle together. "

The two walked away slowly.Not long after, the servants brought toiletries and breakfast.

After filling his stomach, Gu Qingqiao's spirit also improved.He straightened his clothes and waited for Zhang Jinjin to arrive.

Soon, the two came hand in hand, and Mu Lin held a small wooden box in his hand.

Zhang Jinjin sat down at the table, and Mu Lin stepped forward to put the wooden box on the table and lifted the lid.A small bright pearl lay on the bottom of the box lined with brocade, and the pearl was covered with a layer of spiritual light, shining brightly under the sun, it was really beautiful.

"This is?" Gu Qingqiao asked.

"The relic of the ancestor of the devil," Zhang Jinjin replied, "is the crystal core of a demon king thousands of years ago. That demon king has devoted his whole life to the way of passing on skills, hoping to leave the magic power in the form of crystal core inheritance. He did Countless attempts, although in the end failed to pass on the exercises to future generations, my own crystal nucleus did not dissipate with the body like others after death, but was preserved."

Mu Lin pushed a cup of hot and cold tea towards him. Zhang Jinjin took a sip and continued: "The existence of this crystal nucleus has always been a secret, and it was only passed around in the hands of the royal family. I only found out by chance. The crystal core has always been in the hands of Nanmo Canaan. Mu Lin has been lobbying among the Nanmo tribe during this time, and finally persuaded the old man to take out the demon ancestor relic."

Gu Qingqiao looked at the pearl, but the figure of Mu Xiyun in his dream appeared in his heart.

Zhang Jinjin is right, the building will fall, and no one can avoid it.In the coming chaotic world, if you don't have enough strength, how can you protect the person in your heart?But now my own body, not to mention protecting others, might even find it difficult to protect myself.

Having made up his mind, Gu Qingqiao returned to his former calmness and sharpness. "I remember that when you were just reborn, you mentioned the matter of recovering your skills. I think you were already prepared and determined to win." Gu Qingqiao smiled, "I, a reborn person, have been kept in the dark. How did you If you know me, why can you revive me? Why do you have to do it? What are your plans? When I really use this crystal nucleus, I am afraid that I will act according to your plan, so give me an explanation in advance. Isn't that too much to ask for?"

Zhang Jinjin nodded and said: "It's reasonable. I wanted to explain the reason to you. Speaking of which, the cause of the incident was more than 20 years ago. At that time, I was still a three-year-old baby..."

Twenty-five years ago, the three-year-old Jia Heru was still a veritable little devil, making troubles everywhere all day long, and he couldn't calm down for a moment.The huge demon palace became his adventure and playground.

In the afternoon of that day, the little devil who was put on the bed by the nanny to take a nap, as usual, first lay down on the bed and pretended to be asleep. his adventure game.

The Mozu Imperial Palace is huge, the area where people usually move around, Jia Heru has already touched it thoroughly, and there is no fun to speak of.On this day, the daring little devil fell in love with the small pond in the backyard.

It was the end of summer, and the weather was still very hot. Gakhru was lying under a willow tree on the bank, holding a fishing rod he found somewhere, and digging a small earthworm out of the soil. Hang it on the hook as bait, and then throw the hook into the water.

I was unlucky that day, so I caught two small fish.

The little devil looked at the fish, it was not much bigger than his own little hand, he picked up the fish's tail with two fingers and planned to throw the fish back into the pond.

"Meow~~" There was a soft meow, and at some point, a kitten with yellow background and black spots came to his side.

The kitten rubbed its head sideways at Gaheru's trousers, then raised its head again, staring at the little fish in his hand with piercing eyes.

"Boom~" Thunder suddenly came from the sky, and the summer afternoon was dull, and the big raindrops fell down without even saying hello.

Jia Heru held the fish in one hand, picked up the kitten in the other hand, and ran to the nearby building.

In the corridor, a rainy little devil put the cat and fish on the ground, took off his coat, and sat against the wall to watch the kitten eat the fish.

The kitten purred while eating.Jia Heru stretched out his hand to stroke the cat's neck, and was patted aside by the little paw dissatisfied, and couldn't help laughing.He smiled and teased it again, "If you eat my fish, you will be my cat. From now on you will be called..." Looking at the black circles on the kitten's body, the little devil announced loudly with satisfaction: "From now on, You are called copper coins!"

The copper coin looked up at him with utter disdain.Jia Heru didn't care. After the kitten had finished eating the fish, he hugged it and began to look at the surrounding buildings.

Here...is the Demon Ancestor Sacrifice Hall?

The Demon Ancestor Sacrifice Hall was built in a corner of the imperial palace, enshrining more than a hundred demon ancestors, and it was listed as a forbidden place for children. They were only allowed to enter twice a year during winter and summer sacrifices.If an adult finds playing here, he will be punished with a few boards.Moreover, the candlelight in the sacrificial hall was flickering and dim, and the children always said that there were ghosts of ancestors wandering there, and occasionally someone could hear whispering.

Jia Heru was a little timid, and planned to sneak out with the cat in his arms.

As soon as he arrived at the edge of the corridor, a voice suddenly came from outside, which was actually the voice of the Demon Lord.It was too late to rush out, Jia Heru turned his head and looked at the dimly lit sacrificial hall, and then thought about the demon king's eyes that always disgusted him, two evils, the little devil rushed into the sacrificial hall without hesitation.

The sound of words and footsteps followed like a shadow, and they came towards the sacrificial hall.Jiahe looked around, except for the big table where the portraits of the ancestors were placed, the other places were empty and there was nowhere to hide.

The portraits of the ancestors of the Little Demon Dynasty bowed indiscriminately and slipped under the big table.The table was covered with a thick silk cloth that was dragged all the way to the floor, covering the child's figure.Jia Heru didn't dare to push it too hard, and squeezed under the table desperately.The kitten was also well-behaved, he held it in his arms all the time, neither struggling nor barking.

Gakhru got to the place against the wall, and finally stopped, not daring to make a sound, and sat down close to the wall.

There were two people arguing outside.

A high-pitched voice yelled: "Listen up, Asabo, although you have won the position of Demon Lord, our Southern Demon Tribe and Northern Demon Lord want to cooperate rather than be monarchs and ministers. Without our approval, don't think You can command the demons in the south!"

"Oh?" The devil's voice came, with a hint of femininity, Jia Heru couldn't help shivering. "The millennium agreement is approaching, without the blood of my Northern Emperor, you old waste, can you suppress the flames of the earth?"

"You!" With a loud voice, he continued: "You use this to blackmail us? Look at the ancestors here, the blood of the royal family they left you, is it for you to threaten your fellow clan?"

"Whatever you say," the Demon Lord's voice was still calm, "Don't blame me for not reminding you in advance, the price will be different when you come back to me." After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left the man behind. Go out by yourself.

Jia Heru held the cat in his arms, and kept praying in his heart to let the man go out as soon as possible.

"Ah!" A sigh came from outside, "Old brother, what did you think back then, why did you let such a little beast sit on the throne? He probably has been waiting for this day. Now the children in the palace Most of them are young, and they are all under his control, so when the Millennium Covenant arrives, we can only count on him."

No one answered.After a stick of incense, the sound of footsteps disappeared, and the man left in a hurry.

Gaheru breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his numb legs, turned over and crawled outside.The kitten landed on the ground, but was not in a hurry to get out, and used its little nose to hit a pattern on the wall.

Jia Heru had already climbed out of the long table, and when he turned around and saw the cat was still inside, he put his head in again and whispered, "Copper coins, come out!"

The cat ignored him and rested its paws on either side of the pattern.

The little demon king was in a hurry to get out, and as soon as he stretched out his hands, he grabbed the kitten's two hind legs and pulled them out.

As soon as I pulled the cat out from under the table, I heard a "ding" and something fell to the ground.

Jia Heru was taken aback, if he overturned the things in the sacrificial hall, it would not be possible to get over it with a board.

He raised his head and looked around, but saw nothing. He lowered his head to look at the cat, only to realize that at some point, the kitten hugged something between its two paws.

It was a soul lamp.
