Eighty-eight, please eat
At midnight, the imperial palace, Emperor Ren Jinyan's dormitory was in the west, and the sacrificial tower was leaning against it behind it.
On the sacrificial tower, Mu Ran was complaining that the things sent by Huangquan were unpalatable, and strongly asked for food service. Huang Quanli ignored him, and only stood quietly on the top of the tower, looking at the people in the city.
"Hey, there's no one in the city, what are you looking at?" Mu Ran took a few bites, walked up to Huang Quan, and looked down at his line of sight. "In the past, this imperial city was lively, the lights were bright at night, and I saw that there was no moat, but there were painting boats all over there, and it was said that it was a good place for literati to chant poetry."
"Really?" Huang Quan sneered, "How do human beings live, what does it matter to me?" ”
"I thought you would feel a little emotional when you saw this city become a dead city."
"Yes, indeed." Huang Quan turned to look at him, "When will you return to your true form?" ”
"What...... What is the real body? Mu Ran felt that his eyes were too aggressive, and couldn't help but take two steps back. Don't mess around, the white tiger has already run away, and I have nothing to do with it. ”
"You said that you are an ordinary person, well, you can be regarded as a half-immortal cultivator, how could that dignified white tiger follow you?" Huang Quan approached him step by step, and the smile on his face was a little evil.
"I think it's weird, too, so, could you be mistaken? That little white tiger is just an ordinary white tiger. ”
"Hmph, it's not that the food is not to taste, let's go, take you to eat something delicious." Huang Quan glanced at him, sneered, and turned around and walked down the stairs towards the bottom of the tower.
"Huh?" Mu Ran didn't keep up with his rhythm for a while, and was still stunned. Isn't this guy having a nervous problem?
The streets of the Imperial City at midnight were unusually deserted, and tonight was different, and there was a dead silence in this desertion. Mu Ran walked behind Huang Quan and felt a chill down his spine.
"I'd like to ask a question."
"Ask." Huang Quan is not the bad guy he imagined, and he is not the same as the previous Lechuan. Most of the time, he acts like an ordinary person and can laugh and laugh freely. But he was ruthless when he moved, and many times he was silent, so that Mu Ran couldn't guess his thoughts.
"All the people in this city are ......"
"Not dead." Huang Quan glanced at him, "There is really no need to kill them now, the world is so big, where can you kill them?" ”
"How about ...... you want to?"
"You've got a lot of questions today." Huang Quan smiled, "Is it because I met your brother?" ”
"Brother?" Mu Ran was stunned, trying to remember if he had a brother, could it be that he was talking about Murong Qiu? "That's my brother."
"Senior brother? The title of human beings is really amazing, you actually call Qinglong a senior brother, I always thought that the four of you were very good brothers. Huang Quan hesitated, "Do you know where the other two are?" He paused again, "I forgot, you haven't recovered your true body yet, and you don't have any memory now." ”
This person really has a nervous problem, Mu Ran thought, he actually asked himself for so long, could it be because he couldn't find anyone to talk to after staying alone for a long time?
"Where are we going to eat?"
"There is an inn in front, your master and they have already been there, and they have taken most of the things inside, but they have left a lot of delicious food."
Mu Ran stopped and looked at him stunned. This guy has a determined face, as if everything is under control, but he is not in a hurry to win the world. It seems like he's playing a game, or playing a big game, so they're all pawns?
"Hurry up." Huang Quan turned his head and smiled at him.
Mu Ran pouted, this guy is quite amazing, he has been eating and drinking for him since he was caught, as if he was a guest instead of a prisoner. Mu Ran caught up with him and spoke, "You tell me the truth, can you summon anything by gathering the four guardian beasts?" ”
"Heh, you finally asked, I thought you would ask earlier."
"Isn't that afraid of making you angry?" Mu Ran touched his nose. He had already felt that the so-called son of the human emperor in front of him was not as simple as just wanting to win the world, could it be that he was going for the four guardian beasts? Now the guy seemed to be in a good mood, so he pretended to ask casually.
"Actually, it's about catching the four divine beasts, and I want to invite you to come. It's not that you can summon anything, but when you became the patron saint of the world, the Yellow Emperor made a contract with you. Only when the four of you break the contract together and hand over the human world to me can I become the true master of this world. Huang Quan sighed, as if he remembered something, and sneered, "Only that idiot is bent on opposing you, he has human blood in his body, and he doesn't know that there is such a thing as a contract." Of course, his ambition is even greater, and he even wants the Nine Heavens. ”
"Huh?" Mu Ran was stunned, what kind of contract, there is still this legend? He also knew Lethe, and it seemed that they knew each other very well.
"That's not a legend at all." Huang Quan glared at him, "I was there when the contract was first concluded. ”
"Are you serious? You really ......" Mu Ran was stunned again, he always thought that Huang Quan was self-appointed when he said that he was the son of the Human Emperor, and where did the Yellow Emperor have any descendants. If you talk about the bloodline inheritance of the Yellow Emperor, the entire human race should be counted.
"Hmph, there's nothing real or fake, only the Lord of the Six Realms knows about the contract, and of course me." His eyes sparkled as he said this, and his face was full of yearning.
At the door of the Immortal Inn, Mu Ran looked at the mess in the house and sighed, there is nothing here, let alone food.
"Follow me." Huang Quan walked to a small door on the inside of the lobby and beckoned to him, Mu Ran followed, he said as he walked: "From here is the kitchen, the kitchen space is small and sturdy, it should not be affected." ”
Mu Ran nodded and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while.
"Say whatever you want, I didn't feel sorry for you when I first caught you with such ugly words."
Mu Ran was right when he thought about it, at that time, he scolded his mother in various ways, and said all the words of his immortal cultivation in the past few years, and this guy in front of him was like a wooden man, and he ignored it. "I just want to ask, did you really bring me to dinner?"
"Not so." Huang Quan sighed, "Daoist Mu Ran, I have never felt sorry for you, but I just want to ask you for a small favor." This little thing is a small task for you, and it will not affect you at all, in fact, I am asking you. Of course, you haven't recovered your true body so you don't know anything, and I want to ask you to get your divine consciousness back as soon as possible, so that you can recover your true body as soon as possible. ”
"Uh...... "You're really not mistaken?" Mu Ran still wanted to ask, but seeing that he was so sincere, he couldn't speak for a while.
"Don't worry, take your time, I'm not in a hurry." Huang Quan smiled and pushed open the door of the kitchen on the side, "It's really okay here, you can eat whatever you want." ”
Mu Ran stood at the door and swallowed his saliva, the small kitchen was full of food, soup was still stewed on the stove, the fire seemed to have just been extinguished, and all kinds of platters on the table were still steaming. Mu Ran found a big bowl and started unceremoniously, since they had come to eat on a special trip, he was not welcome.
Huang Quan watched him from the side, and for a moment, he also took a bowl and grabbed vegetables from him. In the imperial city, this night was a rare calm.
