When Mo Qianqiu opened his eyes, what he saw was a pitch-dark world. He didn't react for a while, but the pain that seemed to be crushed all over his body made him have to understand that he was not dead, and even the damaged dantian and meridians had repaired 60 to 70%!
Mo Qianqiu didn't make a sound immediately, he sat quietly against the wall, carefully exploring the surrounding environment.
In fact, there is nothing to explore here at all, it is the small space he has opened up. After all the light was taken away by "stealing the sky and changing the sun", there are only two people here, he and Jin Li.
Mo Qianqiu didn't hear Jin Li's voice. He swept over with his spiritual sense, and soon found that the other party was still sitting in the original position, and he didn't know what he was thinking when he lowered his head. Jin Li's breathing was very weak, almost inaudible, Mo Qianqiu wanted to speak, but his throat was very hoarse and dry, and it was difficult to even speak.
Then the next moment, he suddenly heard a soft heartbeat.
Thump, thump.
In his chest, where the blood passed through, a fresh heart was beating non-stop.
Mo Qianqiu's eyes widened suddenly, and he could not believe the sound coming from his chest, feeling the rhythm of blood flowing in the blood, into the heart, and out again.
A heart that did not belong to him was beating steadily in his chest. This heart is very unfamiliar, but a powerful vitality escapes from the heart, repairing his long-disintegrated meridian dantian at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Heavenly Dao treats divine beasts preferentially, and the dragon clan is born at the seventh rank, and the body is as strong as black iron.
Mo Qianqiu understood almost immediately who this heart belonged to.
He once plucked out this heart from its owner's chest with his own hands. Although it seems a little weird now, the familiar aura made Mo Qianqiu immediately know: it belongs to Jinli!
His throat was so hoarse that he couldn't make a sound, but that's it, Mo Qianqiu tried his best to reach out to the monster who was sitting a meter away beside him, almost squeezing the voice out of his throat: "This is ... what is it... ah!"
At this moment, an extremely cold force burst out from the heart, and suddenly rushed into Mo Qianqiu's right eye. He was about to fall down, but his hand was suddenly pulled, and with a gentle push, he was pushed back to his original position, leaning against the wall to endure the pain that subverted everything.
The right eye seemed to be crushed by a big hand, and the scorching flame devoured everything in an instant. In Mo Qianqiu's life, such pain would definitely rank in the top three. He bit his lip tightly, not even a vibrato escaped his mouth, but the blood had already gurgled from his right eye, and it was strangely dazzling on his white face.
Later, Mo Qianqiu fainted from the pain, and when he woke up again, he felt that his right eye was extremely refreshing.
His dantian and meridians were almost repaired. He already had the strength to stand up, but he didn't move. Instead, he slowly squeezed his fingers and asked word by word, "Why... save me!"
There was no smile on Mo Qianqiu's face, and his tone was solemn and solemn.
Rarely has he been so serious when he squeezed his fingers so tightly that his fingernails were about to dig into the palm of his hand. But what answered him was Jiu Jiu's tranquility. Jin Li didn't answer, and still sat on the side indifferently, as if the lack of a heart would have no effect on him.
The lack of a heart will definitely have a great impact on the divine beast.
Mo Qianqiu had already discovered that Jin Li's cultivation seemed to have declined a little. Originally, he was already in the realm of half-step god transformation, but now it is only the Great Perfection in the later stage of Mahayana. Even if the demon pill is present, the damage is not as tragic as it was a thousand years ago, but the breath still decays and there are injuries.
For the first time, Mo Qianqiu was so patient. He gritted his teeth and asked again: "Why did you save me!"
At this time, Jin Li finally spoke. His voice was as cold and distant as it used to be, just speaking quietly, it made people feel peaceful and noble, with the noble gesture of a divine beast.
"Actually, I'm not interested in the war between the two clans." Jin Li said casually, "I won't enter the battlefield if I don't say Longzuma."
The Longmarsh Demon Venerable fell nine hundred years ago, and was the last Heavenly Rank Demon Venerable of the demon clan before Dujue Tian Lao advanced to the rank.
Mo Qianqiu seemed to have noticed something, and it took a long time to say: "Why did you save me?"
Jin Li didn't answer him, but continued: "I didn't hate you once."
Mo Qianqiu whispered: "...before I take your demon pill and heart?"
"Before this."
Mo Qianqiu asked again: "Then why did you want to save me?" He also paid such a huge price!
"Longzhuo once said before his fall that among the human race, although Wu Xiaozi of Taihua Mountain is slightly higher than him, it is nothing to worry about. He is just an old man who is about to die. You are the biggest hidden danger in the future of the demon race. Calling me to leave Dragon Island many times is to kill you."
Listening to Jin Li speak is a very enjoyable thing.
His voice was very soft, not in a hurry or slow, and when he spoke seriously, he seemed to be speaking in a succinct manner.
Jin Li talked about what happened a thousand years ago, I don't know if it was because of the heart in his chest, out of vigilance or guilt, Mo Qianqiu actually listened to all his words, and even was said by him. Then, I remembered the things that I had forgotten.
Except for the last hundred years, the war between the human race and the monster race has almost never stopped.
The further forward, the stronger the power of the two clans, and the more intense the battle. A thousand years ago, Mo Qianqiu, as a demon cultivator in the Great Perfection Realm in the later stage of Mahayana, entered the battlefield of the two races without hesitation, killing tens of thousands of monsters, including many high-level monsters.
He is famous, and his lethal power is extremely strong, which makes many monsters stunned.
Then, on a quiet moonlit night, Mo Qianqiu led a number of demon cultivators to sneak attack on a demon clan team. He unfolded his magic whip, smiled arbitrarily, and prepared to start a massacre. Unexpectedly, in the next instant, he was lurking instead, and saw the mysterious monster hidden in the enemy camp.
Demon Zun Jin Li.
The name Mo Qianqiu has heard of it, but only only. According to rumors, Jin Li seldom leaves Longdao. Although he is only an earth-rank demon, but because of his status as a beast, his strength is extremely powerful, comparable to a heaven-rank demon.
Mo Qianqiu did not dare to exaggerate, and the two started their first battle. Mo Qianqiu reluctantly coped with Jin Li's offensive, falling into the next risk several times and dying. The two fought all the way from the Thirteenth Sea of the Demon Realm to the Demon Realm, then passed through Yunzhou and hit the border between Cenzhou and Mingzhou.
There is a dangerous place called Wanming Mountain. In Wanming Mountain, strange beasts can be heard from time to time. In these mountains hidden by thick fog, there are strange beasts hidden. They are not monsters, but they have a trace of ghost energy, which can hurt the soul of cultivators, but they have no effect on monsters.
In such a place, Mo Qianqiu naturally has to deal with it carefully, but Jin Li is like a duck to water.
Mo Qianqiu knew that even if Jin Li couldn't kill him, he could abolish his cultivation, or make his realm plummet. With all the wounds, Mo Qianqiu took the opportunity to hide on a cliff. In the gust of wind, countless flying beasts bit his body, but he couldn't make a sound.
These beasts cannot inflict scars on his body, but they can directly penetrate the body and bite the primordial spirit.
The pain of the primordial spirit far exceeds the physical body.
Mo Qianqiu cannot attack them. Beneath him is an abyss, and there are countless flightless beasts hidden in it; above his head is a monster walking slowly, monsters are not good at finding people with spiritual sense, only a little Look carefully.
Hidden in the middle of these beasts, the breath of the beast can confuse his own breath, and can even avoid Jinli.
Mo Qianqiu held the mountain wall with his hands, his body trembled, and his Yuanshen was bitten countless times. He hid for seven days, and Jin Li stood above his head for seven days. Seven days later, Jin Li sighed softly and turned to leave.
It didn't even kill!
After that, Mo Qianqiu's strength has improved again, and he will not be so embarrassed to deal with Jin Li. The two have played against each other more than 20 times in hundreds of years, and almost all of them have lost both sides. Mo Qianqiu fell into the disadvantage more often, but Jin Li was a little less.
Later, the two seemed to have an unspoken tacit understanding: they would not kill each other.
This tacit understanding continued until Wu Xiaozi found Mo Qianqiu and was ready to join forces with him to seal Jinli.
The past has become a cloud, passing by in a hurry. For Mo Qianqiu, these things are just a fragment of a long life. It is only now that people talk about it, he has the feeling that he has experienced it again, and finally has it. A strange thought—
In fact, his relationship with Jin Li is not that bad.
It's not great, but it's not a life-and-death relationship.
-Before he gouged out Jinli's heart and took away the demon pill.
Thinking of this, Mo Qianqiu's heart tightened, as if something was slowly melting in his heart, and his body, which had been tense, relaxed a little. If there is no such thing, in fact, he still appreciates this person a little bit.
He has always loved beautiful women. Although Jin Li is not the most beautiful person Mo Qianqiu has ever seen, he has a unique and noble temperament of a beast, elegant and solemn, and cannot be violated. Throwing away the hostile identity and the deep hatred he once had, in fact, after all, he owed Jin Li, not Jin Li to him.
So before dying, he stopped stubbornly guarding his face and said those three words—
sorry.
As far as the human race and the demon race are concerned, he has never been sorry for Jinli, because he wanted to protect the human race, which was originally incompatible. But on a personal level, he owes this person something inexplicable.
Mo Qianqiu still remembers that a thousand years ago, when the space was about to be sealed, Jin Li's eyes were extremely hateful.
At that time, he was not without a soft heart. Hundreds of years of fighting made him have a little admiration and sympathy for this enemy, but he still held the opponent's hot heart and watched him crawling to the exit in a hurry, and then was blocked. all hope.
Mo Qianqiu has never bowed his head in his life, even when his heart is cut out and suddenly crushed, he will never bow his head.
But he bowed his head as he was dying.
Before dying, people may always have some freedom and openness. Even if they say "I'm sorry", they just want to make up for the things they have done in their life and feel a little ashamed of. However, Mo Qianqiu also knew that his "sorry" was definitely not worth giving Jin Li his heart.
When Jin Li talked about the demon realm, he started from the thirteenth sea of the demon realm, went to the second sea, and then stopped at the first sea.
The sea owner of the first sea is Jinli. It is said that there is a dragon island in the center of the first sea, and the dragon family has lived there for generations. It used to be very lively there and was one of the holy places of the demon clan, but now only the last dragon in the world lives there, and a person lives there alone.
Mo Qianqiu raised his eyes and looked at the other party in the dark. Seeing that Jin Li didn't want to say anything about the first sea, he pondered for a moment and asked again: "Why... save me?"
This time, Mo Qianqiu originally thought that the other party would still not answer, but Jin Li sighed softly and said lightly: "There are still many years, if not alone, maybe not so... lonely."
Mo Qianqiu instantly understood what the other party meant.
Could it be that Jin Li gave his heart to himself just because he felt lonely in this dark space for decades alone
Mo Qianqiu felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he felt that there could be no other reason besides this. He was silent for a long time and asked, "What about when the space is opened?"
Jin Li said indifferently: "This deity will take away the things that were taken."
Mo Qianqiu's body was shocked, and there was no response for a long time. After a long time, he suddenly burst into laughter, his beautiful face was pale because the injury had not yet healed, but he still laughed loudly, and at the end, stopped abruptly. After Mo Qianqiu leaned his head against the wall, snorted coldly, and said, "Where can I use you to take it away? At that time, the deity will gouge it out and give it to you, and you don't need to accept your love."
Jin Li didn't answer.
In fact, Mo Qianqiu's character, he should immediately gouge out his heart and give it to the other party, and never accept this inexplicable "benefit". But when his fingers touched his chest, he still stopped. He inexplicably wanted to know how lonely it was in such an endless darkness.
What kind of loneliness does it take to make a peerless power go crazy.
Xu is because he knows that he has less than fifty years of life left, and when this space is opened, he will return the stolen life, and Mo Qianqiu will no longer beware of opponents. Anyway, he will die eventually, even if Jin Li sneaks up on him and makes him die early, so what
After looking at it for a while, Mo Qianqiu was no longer so cautious, and even recovered his domineering personality. He began to talk to Jin Li on his own initiative, sometimes criticizing Jin Li's dead face that had not changed for a hundred years, and sometimes mocking a confrontation between the two of them. Jin Li could not even have that level of formation within a quarter of an hour. Unwrap inside.
When Mo Qianqiu took the initiative, Jin Li didn't speak much, but only replied occasionally.
They slowly seemed to have become friends with each other, and Mo Qianqiu gradually discovered that, in fact, his old opponent was very restrained and wise, and he was definitely a peerless genius who could cultivate to such a realm as a divine beast in eight thousand years.
Although the human race has a short lifespan, the speed of human race cultivation is very fast.
Although the demon clan has a long lifespan, they live a long time, and the speed of cultivation is slower than their lifespan.
Especially divine beasts, divine beasts inherit the grace of heaven and are born in the seventh rank, but their cultivation speed is ten times slower than that of ordinary monsters. Monster beasts are ten times slower than the human race, and divine beasts are ten times slower than the monster beasts. Compared to the human race, the cultivation speed of divine beasts is hundreds of times slower than theirs!
Before sitting down with each other so calmly, Mo Qianqiu never thought that he would appreciate each other so much.
The more I understand, the more I feel that the other party is worthy of friendship, and the more I feel a little guilty for some things I have done in the past.
As the power of the human race, he will never owe the Yaozun to the monster clan; but as a Mo Qianqiu, he owes Jinli.
Probably because of this, Mo Qianqiu wanted to solve the other party's loneliness in the dark. He thought about it and said, "I have a good friend named Luo Jianqing. I once thought he would be the only and most important person in my life. friends, but now I want to come... Actually, we can be considered friends."
After a while, Jin Li said indifferently, "Are you a friend?"
Mo Qianqiu nodded: "Well, friend."
Jin Li asked, "Is Luo Jianqing the one who rescued you from me eight years ago?"
Recalling what happened back then, Mo Qianqiu didn't feel much anymore. He remembered his friend's intelligence in some aspects and stupidity in some aspects, and couldn't help but chuckle. His voice lingered for a long time in the empty darkness: "It's him. He's a very smart person, and sometimes very slow. He probably doesn't even know who I am, but I never want him to know."
Jin Li did not speak, but Mo Qianqiu continued directly as if recalling: "I killed so many people, and after I fell, it was the reincarnation of the animal life for more than three million lives. If he knew... How sad it would be, why don't you? Don't let him know."
Jin Li still didn't speak.
However, in the face of the other party's indifference, Mo Qianqiu didn't care, instead he snorted softly and said in a reckless tone: "You must not understand this feeling, right? I can only say that I have a friend in my life, but you seem to have no friends. Jinli, there is less than ten years left and this space will be broken. I will accompany you for another ten years, and I am reluctantly willing to be wronged to be your friend, so you don't need to thank me too much."
Jin Li still didn't speak.
Mo Qianqiu also slowly stopped his voice. After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "... If you really want to thank me, can you give me an extra year... No, three days is enough, I only need three days. Let me take another look at my apprentice, take a look at everyone in the magic palace, and take a look at my friends. After three days, I will definitely take the initiative to find you and return your heart to you, I just ask you to give me three sky… "
Such a request is absolutely rare for Mo Qianqiu in his entire life. But what made him angry was that it was the first time he made such a low-key request to someone, but the other party still ignored him and didn't even hear back.
Mo Qianqiu was silently angry in the bottom of his heart, and he had made plans to ignore each other for the next ten days.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, he heard a faint muffled sound from beside him. Mo Qianqiu opened his eyes and moved to the side subconsciously. in the arms.
Mo Qianqiu said anxiously: "Jin Li?!"
