Their bodies gathered together in a huge tree, a gust of wind blew, the treetops quickly spread out in all directions, and in an instant countless flowers bloomed, and then they withered one after another, and under the treetops hung a huge fruit, which took on an amber appearance and color, and shone slightly, reflecting the shadows of the faint people inside.

Nan Mu Cheng was stunned and stepped forward to look, the outer wall of the fruit was still covered with red blood vessels, as if covered with a thin film, the man stepped forward and used his sword to open the fruit from the middle, and from the viscous liquid that overflowed from the fruit, a baby slowly fell.

The child closed his eyes tightly, the man ripped off his robe and picked him up, Nanmu Cheng trembled in his heart, this child is no different from an ordinary baby, could it be that their Nanmu clan was born in this way?

After the baby was born, the tree withered and died as quickly as if it had completed its final mission, and the baby in the man's arms cried as if it had experienced a moment of reincarnation.

The black-robed man carried the child to the high platform, then placed the baby in the pool to wash off the mucus on his body, and then led the child outside.

Nan Mucheng stood in place for a long time, this way of inheritance is really cruel, when it is really displayed in front of him, this visual and psychological impact is still a little difficult to accept.

The moment he rushed out, he saw the black-robed man turn around, he seemed to see Nan Mucheng, and said to him, "You're here?" ”

"What are you asking me to watch this for?" Nan Mucheng asked with a gasp.

"There is a blood barrier between the Nanmu clan and the human race. In order to survive in the human world, they can only choose this way to produce the next generation, but this is only the beginning of the way, after each generation sacrifices themselves, the children born in the human world will be fused with a little more blood in the human world, this way lasted for about seven generations, and the Nanmu tribe was completely integrated with the human race. ”

The man in black said, "This is the past that you need to understand. ”

"If you say that our people survived by fusing their blood into the human realm, aren't their efforts now manifested? Why are you looking for someone to inherit Nanmu's bloodline? Nan Mucheng took a step forward and asked.

"Looks like you've found out." The black robe said, "The contract I signed with the Nanmu clan is to ensure that the Nanmu clan can continue for generations, but what I want to repay is that after they die, they will use their souls to protect a person from generation to generation." ”

"Guarding a person from generation to generation with his soul?"

"And the bloodline heir of the Nanmu clan is the key to unlocking the seal." The black-robed man took a step forward and said, "That's why I need you." ”

"Now you don't need us to give our souls to the people you are protecting?" Nan Mucheng asked with an eyebrow.

"There's no need for it anymore." The black-robed man chuckled under his breath, "She slept here."

It's time to wake up after many years. ”

Nan Mu Cheng clenched his hands, and at the moment when he approached him, he suddenly took out a charm from his arms and threw it out, his body quickly retreated, the charm exploded suddenly, he heard the sound of a mirror shattering from this space, and Nan Mu Cheng roared with sweat on his forehead, "You madman!" I don't have time to play with you what kind of ghost things are guarded or not, what does your business have to do with me? I won't be stupid enough to kill myself! ”

He desperately fled in the opposite direction, and he saw that the man who had been hit by the spell head-on did not catch up, and he still held the baby in his arms, but showed a strange smile.

The whole space is like a shattered room, the pieces above his head are falling down one by one, and the ground under his feet is also cracked, Nan Mucheng jumped away agilely while fleeing to the side, he saw a light not far away, he heard the master once say what kind of spiritual realm this is, what he saw was what the master wanted to present to him, once he was trapped, it was not impossible to get out, as long as he concentrated his spirit and found a way to let his thoughts invade this person's realm, he could open up a way to escape.

But he has only heard about the theoretical knowledge, where does the practice come from?

He tried to close his eyes, but the huge stone fragments smashed around him made it impossible for him not to think about running for his life, and suddenly the stone under his feet loosened, and he grabbed the stone with all his might, and hung it in the air.

"What can you hesitate about?" The black-robed man appeared in mid-air, "Do you want to break the contract?" ”

"This is the agreement between our ancestors and you, you want to fulfill the agreement and go to them! Why should our children and grandchildren be unlucky with them by virtue of their contract with you? Nan Mucheng said with difficulty, "Besides, I don't have any great dedication at all, why don't you wait a few more years to see if there are any descendants who are as unlucky as me?" ”

The black-robed man no longer spoke, but drifted away, Nan Mucheng pinched a cold sweat in his heart, it was easy for this person to kill him, but he didn't choose to kill him to enforce the contract. It seems that the contract between them still has resistance that this person can't break through, and it seems that when the Nanmu patriarch signed the contract, he still took precautions, and finally left a way out for his juniors.

Thinking of this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When Nan Mucheng climbed up with difficulty, he suddenly saw the appearance of the sculpture, his mind was unprecedentedly clear at the moment of life and death, and the facial features of this person were gradually pieced together in his mind.

"Impossible, right?" Nan Mucheng was stunned and froze in place, feeling a cold sweat break out. In order to confirm his thoughts, he hurried to the temple again, which had not yet completely collapsed, and the sculpture looked much clearer than the main hall that had been baptized by many years of wind and frost, so that he could verify his ideas again.

Nan Mucheng was stunned.

He stood there for a long time

Looking carefully at the woman's facial features, not noticing that the black-robed man was also standing behind him for a long time, he also looked up, and then asked, "Why do you care so much about this sculpture?" ”

"Who is this man?" Nan Mucheng asked.

"You don't need to know." The black-robed man turned around and wanted to leave, but Nan Mucheng's shout chased after him, "I've seen her!" ”

The footsteps of the black-robed man stopped instantly.

He didn't expect his words to be so powerful, but he was sure that this pot woman was Huang Mo who was mistaken for a little monster on the way. He still remembered that when he said this woman's name to his master in Shushan, he was also very shocked, who was she? Why did her statue appear in the Unknown Heaven?

The black-robed man turned around slowly, and Nanmu seemed to have grabbed some life-saving straw and dodged back, "I can tell you what you want to know, but first you have to let me out of this ghost place!" ”

The black-robed man was silent for a long time, and this silent coercion made his scalp tingle, and when Nan Mucheng wondered if he would overestimate the status of that woman in this person's heart, the black-robed man opened his mouth.

"How is she doing?"

Nan Mucheng was stunned, he didn't directly ask him where he saw this woman, nor did he ask him how he met, but first asked if she was doing well?

"Uh......" Nan Mucheng desperately recalled Huang Mo's appearance, although she looked thin and small, she looked red and full of vitality, thinking that she should be living quite well, "It looks good." ”

"Yes." The black robe stopped talking.

Nan Mucheng was even more apprehensive in his heart.

He thought for a moment, as if he was weighing the pros and cons, and then with a wave of his sleeve, Nan Mucheng only felt that the scenery in front of him quickly dissipated, and his body suddenly leaned back and sat on the ground.

The real pain made him grin and realize that he seemed to have made the right bet.

He returned to reality.

He sat straight on the ground, his eyes were still the familiar altar just now, one of his hands was pressed on the ground, he frowned in pain, Nan Mucheng suddenly looked around, his father, queen mother and other princes were still looking at him below.

Nan Mucheng jumped up from the ground, how did the black robe in front of him look at it and didn't think well, he took a few steps back as if he was facing a great enemy, and he was about to slip down quickly.

The black-robed man put the sword on the pool, Nan Mucheng muttered to this madman, he was intercepted by his father and mother as soon as he walked down, and their faces were excited with a faint incredulity, "This, what's going on?" Cheng'er, did he succeed? ”

"Cheng'er actually has the blood of the ancestors!"

"How is this possible!"

He saw His Royal Highness flick his sleeves angrily, took a step forward, pointed at him and questioned the black robe, "Master National Teacher!" You'll have to give us an explanation! He has always been inferior to us in everything, his studies are a mess, and his cultivation has no natural foundation

, how can such a waste of wood be the bloodline person we are looking for?! ”

The group focused all their eyes on the national teacher, hoping that he could give a reasonable explanation.

The black-robed man walked down slowly, unhurriedly, but every step made the clamoring prince and others involuntarily retreat, the father and the mother were obviously in the same mood as them, Nan Mucheng really didn't have time to take care of their joy now, struggling to break free from their shackles, the father held his hand tightly, completely ignoring his hand injury, he saw the light of ecstasy in his father's eyes, which made him afraid.

He suddenly thought of the fanaticism of his father's generation for this kind of thing, if his father really knew that his life was the key to open the seal, he would definitely force himself to bear the so-called family honor, even if it was at the cost of his life.

Nan Mu Cheng was really a little scared.

He didn't want to die for such nonsense!

"Big brother! The national teacher is mistaken, I'm not the one who inherited the bloodline! Nan Mucheng suddenly shouted: "There are others who inherit the bloodline!" ”

The smile on his father's face froze, and he stared at him with wide eyes, "What did you say?" Is it true? ”
