It is not an easy task to find valuable things in a huge corpse that is thousands of miles away. Thanks to the guidance of Wei Mingfeng, a veteran treasure hunter, the dismantling and treasure hunting work can proceed normally.
Everyone had been busy all day and found many precious treasures from the corpses of the giant beasts. Wu Jie and Wei Mingfeng were in high spirits, but Meng Xiujun seemed a little listless.
As a sword cultivator, she likes to practice and fight, but she doesn't like the menial work of a pig butcher in a slaughterhouse.
The next morning, she made an excuse, saying that she was going to the place where she met the giant beast before to see if there was any treasure. Even if there was no treasure, she wanted to see if she could find Xiao Shan's body.
Collect a body for him.
"...It would be great to find a piece of it." Wu Jie muttered, "Looking at the momentum of that big guy chasing us, even if he was just rubbed, he would have turned into meat paste."
"We are all from the same sect after all, so we have to help him find something, even if it is to set up a tomb." After Meng Xiujun said that, he flew towards the other side with his sword light. Wu Jie and Wei Mingfeng looked at each other and both looked at each other.
I saw a smile in my eyes.
"If you don't like the bloody butcher's work, just say so." Wei Mingfeng shook his head, "Is this girl a germaphobe?"
"I don't think most women would like this kind of work." Wu Jie said with a smile, and then hurriedly explained to Du Ruo, "Third sister, I really am not mocking you. You are a strange woman, completely different from ordinary people.
of"
Du Ruo snorted coldly, ignored him, and continued to look for the fattest meat on the giant beast.
Well, the God of Cookery, Sister Du Sanjie, is not here to hunt for treasures, but to find the best ingredients.
As a chef, she didn't mind the blood at all. Instead, she was very happy that the corpse of the giant beast could always stay fresh.
But the only one who is willing to help is Du Ruo. Whether it is the free and easy Ye Hong or the silent Xiao Qi, even Xuefeng, who has always obeyed Wu Jieyan, is shunned by this bloody work.
Seeing this situation, Wu Jie couldn't help but sigh secretly.
It would be great if Yin Shuang was here. She would definitely not mind helping me.
While he was busy, Du Ruo suddenly thought of something and said to Wei Mingfeng with a smile: "Brother Wei, I wonder... what is the relationship between you and that Miss Meng?"
Wei Mingfeng was stunned and raised his head in surprise, his expression more bitter.
"What's wrong?" Wu Jie noticed something was wrong and asked with a frown.
During the previous treasure hunting adventure, he originally thought that Wei Mingfeng and Meng Xiujun were just ordinary classmates, or ordinary friends - after all, the two of them didn't even speak much, and they seemed to have a very cold relationship.
But when he was escaping from the wild beast, Wei Mingfeng insisted on taking Meng Xiujun to escape with his sword light, even though his life and death were hanging by a thread. For this reason, he did not hesitate to spurt out blood essence one after another, frantically overdrawing his own vitality.
, in just a few moments, at least thousands of years of life were lost. The price was huge, and the risks taken were indescribable.
Wei Mingfeng is certainly not the kind of selfish and coldhearted person, but at a time of life and death, how many people can care about others? How many people are worthy of him taking such a big risk and paying such a high price to save? If we talk about these two people
If our relationship is really as cold as it seemed before, then it is absolutely impossible for him to do this
Wu Jie dared to bet with his own eyes that the two people were not only related, but also very close, so close that Wei Mingfeng was willing to risk his life for Meng Xiujun.
According to his guess, the two parties may be in a relationship, or at least a couple. But looking at Wei Mingfeng's expression at the moment, it doesn't seem to be that way...
"Old Wei, I'm just asking casually, don't worry about it." Although Du Ruo usually looks carefree, he is actually a very careful person. Seeing Wei Mingfeng's expression, he suddenly felt embarrassed and hurriedly changed his words, "Really, I really
It was just a casual remark.”
Wei Mingfeng showed no sign of relief, his face was heavy. After a while, he sighed deeply, showing a tired and weak look.
"This secret has been kept for too long. I often feel that I will encounter great danger. I originally planned to take it with me into the coffin, but since you mentioned it, maybe... this is God's will."
He raised his head and looked at the sky, his expression full of loneliness.
"Xiujun... is my daughter."
"What?" Wu Jie and Du Ruo shouted together. They never expected that this would be the case.
"What's so strange about this? If it wasn't my daughter, why would I risk my life to save her? In addition to parents and their children, even couples who say countless sweet words will really die in a critical moment.
You wouldn’t care about your life like this.”
Wu Jie wanted to protest against Wei Mingfeng's obvious prejudice against the relationship between husband and wife, but seeing the lonely look on his face, he still did not speak.
"Xiujun is her mother's surname. Back then, we were mortals from the same country in the world. I am not afraid of your jokes. I am the son of the prime minister of the current dynasty, and she is the princess of the royal family."
Wu Jie raised his eyebrows. To a monk, being a prime minister or an emperor was actually nothing important - but it was not ridiculous. Wu Jie himself was once a marquis of the Chu Kingdom in the Kyushu realm.
"We were childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts. Later, we got the opportunity to practice Taoism together and embarked on the path together. We have supported each other for hundreds of years and weathered many difficulties together... Although it was very hard, looking back now, it was the happiest thing in my life.
Time." Wei Mingfeng's expression softened, obviously thinking of those beautiful memories.
"Later, our motherland encountered big trouble. She didn't want the country to perish and decided to return to the mortal world. Of course I didn't agree - since monks like us have been born, the rise and fall of dynasties in the world has nothing to do with us. Even if she doesn't give up,
Family love, isn’t it also good to take your loved ones out of the mortal world and live a peaceful life in the few pure places around Yujing that are between the world of immortality and the mortal world?”
Wu Jie nodded slightly. Although he himself was a person who did not want to abandon the mortal world, looking back, Wei Mingfeng's idea did make sense.
"She was already pregnant at that time, and I couldn't bear to worry about it, so I followed her back to the world of mortals. I spent a lot of thought and did a lot of things I didn't want to do, and finally put an end to the turmoil." Wei Mingfeng sighed, "But
Unexpectedly, her mind has changed amidst this incident..."
"Her mind has changed? How?" Du Ruo asked.
"She felt that as a princess, she had a responsibility to the country. Seeing the country like this, she had an obligation to protect the country... For the first time in her life, we quarreled. From then on, we quarreled many times, until finally,
I watched her ascend the throne as emperor and leave angrily."
Du Ruo was startled and asked with surprise and curiosity: "Miss Meng's mother...is the queen of the world?"
"That's right. After I left, I lost my cool because of my excitement. I ran into big trouble during a treasure hunting adventure and was trapped in one place for more than two hundred years. During those two hundred years, I thought a lot
, her figure kept turning over and over in my mind...I suddenly understood that compared with her smile, immortality and so on are actually not that important."
Du Ruo nodded repeatedly, and Wu Jie also smiled.
"Two hundred years later, I finally got out of trouble and hurried back to visit her. Unexpectedly, she had suffered a backlash of luck and died. Only a little princess who never grew up was left.
He is more than ten years old, but he looks almost like a five or six-year-old child."
"This is how the Taoist body is originally. This is the result of rebirth." Wu explained.
When a monk reaches a certain stage, he will be reborn and become a different existence from ordinary people. His lifespan will become extremely long, and the speed of his body's growth and aging will become extremely slow. Meng Xiujun's parents are both reborn characters, and she is born
Tao fetuses are born as a long-lived race. Their growth rate is much slower than that of ordinary people, and their life span is also much longer than that of ordinary people.
Wei Mingfeng originally planned to give up his career and stay with his wife for the rest of his life. However, he unexpectedly rushed back to the mortal world, only to see his wife lying quietly in the ice coffin decades later.
body. There is also a daughter who has never grown up and doesn’t even know who her father is.
His wife hated him for never coming back and was so cruel that she never told her daughter who her father was until her death.
Wei Mingfeng's qualifications were not bad at first, but after being hit like this, his heart collapsed. He went crazy on the spot and vomited blood. He barely managed to make it back to the outer gate of Yujing, and finally fell ill.
It's a big joke that an immortal can actually get sick. But he got so sick and stayed ill for nearly a hundred years before he managed to regain his strength under the care of a few old friends.
As soon as he recovered, he hurried back to the world to pick up his daughter, only to find that his homeland had been destroyed. The prosperous capital of the country in the past was destroyed by war, and his wife's cemetery was also damaged and turned into ruins. He found among the ruins
He found the ice coffin protected by magic and brought back his wife's body, but his daughter was not found.
Wei Mingfeng was devastated and returned to the Yujing Sect with his wife's body. He buried her next to the cave where he practiced, thus ending his worldly ties and concentrating on practicing Taoism.
More than three hundred years later, he accidentally saw a face quite similar to his wife's among a group of new disciples who were lucky enough to join the Yujing Sect.
He was surprised and carefully collected information about the female disciple named Meng Xiujun, only to find that she was his long-lost daughter who he thought had died in the war.
"Since then, I have been taking care of her secretly. In the blink of an eye, more than a thousand years have passed..." Wei Mingfeng sighed longly, full of sighs, "For me now, the pursuit of immortality
Although important, protecting her is more important than immortality."
Wu Jie and Du Ruo nodded repeatedly, but Du Ruo couldn't help but ask: "Then why don't you recognize her?"
"How can I, an irresponsible father, have the dignity to recognize her?" Wei Mingfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head. He stopped talking and concentrated on dismantling the corpse of the giant beast.
Wu Jie and Du Ruo looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
The three of them were busy for a while. Wei Mingfeng suddenly changed his face and turned to look in the direction where Meng Xiujun was leaving.
"A bad show is in trouble"
Wu Jie was shocked when he heard this. He didn't bother to ask what was going on. He turned into a bolt of lightning and flew thousands of miles away in an instant, heading straight to the place where he met the giant beast.
