It is not an easy task to find something of value in the midst of a huge corpse that is thousands of miles long. Fortunately, with the guidance of Wei Mingfeng, a senior treasure hunter, the dismantling and treasure hunting work can be carried out normally.

Everyone was busy all day, and found many precious treasures from the corpse of the giant beast. Wu Xie 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 this kind of rough work like a pig slaughterer in a slaughterhouse.

The next morning, she made an excuse, saying that she was going to the place where she had met the giant beast before to see if there were any treasures, even if there were no treasures, she had to see if she could find Xiao Shan's corpse, and she would have a game with him, so as to collect a corpse for him.

“…… It would be nice to find a fragment. Wu Xie muttered, "Look at the momentum of that big guy chasing us at that time, even if he was only rubbed, he would directly turn into meat sauce." ”

"Everyone is in the same door, so we have to help him find something, even if it is to set up a well-dressed mound." After Meng Xiujun finished speaking, he took the sword light and flew towards that side, Wu Xie and Wei Mingfeng glanced at each other, and they both saw a smile in each other's eyes.

"I don't like bloody butcher work, so let's just say it." Wei Mingfeng shook his head, "Isn't this girl clean?" ”

"I don't think most women would like this kind of work." Wu Xie smiled, and then hurriedly explained to Du Ruo, "Third sister, I'm really not sarcastic about you, you are a strange woman, and you are completely different from ordinary people."

Du Ruo snorted coldly, ignored him, and continued to look for the fattest meat on the giant beast.

Well, the third sister of the god of food, Du Sanjie, is not here to hunt for treasures, but to find high-quality ingredients.

As a chef, she didn't mind the blood stains at all, but was glad that the corpses of the giant beasts could stay fresh all the time

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 Xue Feng, who has always been obedient to Wu Jieyan, is shy away from this bloody work.

Seeing this situation, Wu Xie couldn't help but sigh secretly.

If Yin Shuang was here, it would be great, she wouldn't mind doing a favor

While he was busy, Du Ruo suddenly thought of something, and said to Wei Mingfeng with a smile: "Brother Wei, I don't know the ...... between you and that Meng girl What is the relationship? ”

Wei Mingfeng was stunned for a moment, and looked up in surprise, but there was more bitterness in his expression.

"What's wrong?" Wu Xie saw that something was wrong, frowned and asked.

In the previous treasure hunting expedition, he thought that Wei Mingfeng and Meng Xiujun were just ordinary classmates, or the kind of friends who had a very average friendship - after all, the two didn't even talk much, and they seemed to have a very cold relationship.

But when he was escaping from the pursuit of the wild beast just now, Wei Mingfeng himself was obviously hanging by a thread of life and death, but he insisted on taking Meng Xiujun to escape with the sword light. For this reason, he did not hesitate to spew out essence blood one after another, frantically overdrawing his vitality, and in just a few moments, he lost at least thousands of years of life, the price was not huge, and the risk was indescribable.

Of course, Wei Mingfeng is not the kind of person who is selfish and cold, but at the moment of life and death, how many people can take care of others? How many people are worth the risk and price he has to pay to save them? If the relationship between the two was really as cold as it seemed before, then there was absolutely no way he could do it

Wu Xie dared to bet with his eyes that the two were not only related, but also very close, close to the point that Wei Mingfeng was willing to risk his life for Meng Xiujun

According to his conjecture, the two parties may be husband and wife, at least lovers or something. But looking at Wei Mingfeng's expression at this moment, it doesn't seem to be like that......

"Old Wei, I just asked casually, don't you care" Although Du Ruo usually looks very aggressive, he is actually a very careful person, seeing Wei Mingfeng's expression, he was suddenly a little embarrassed, and hurriedly changed his words, "Really, I really just said it casually"

Wei Mingfeng didn't show any relief, his face was heavy, and after a while, he sighed deeply, revealing a tired and weak look.

"This secret has been kept secret for so long that I have often felt that I am going to be in great danger, and I was going to take it with me into the coffin, but since you mentioned it, perhaps...... This is providence."

He looked up at the sky, his expression full of loneliness.

"Xiujun her...... It's my daughter. ”

"What?" Wu Xie and Du Ruo shouted together, they never thought that this was the case

"What's so strange about that? If it wasn't my own daughter, why would I go so desperately to save her? In addition to parents to children, even couples who have said countless sweet words in the world will not disregard their lives like this when they are really in danger. ”

Wu Xie wanted to protest against Wei Mingfeng's prejudice that obviously discriminated against the feelings of husband and wife, but seeing his lonely look, he still didn't speak.

"Xiujun has her mother's surname, we were mortals in a country in the world, I am not afraid of your jokes, I am the son of the prime minister of the dynasty, and she is the princess of the royal family."

Wu Xie raised his eyebrows, for the monk, whether it was the prime minister or the emperor, it was actually nothing remarkable - but it was not ridiculous, Wu Xie himself was the marquis of the Great Chu State in the Kyushu border.

"We were childhood sweethearts, and the two had no guesses, and later got the opportunity to cultivate the Tao together and stepped into the Tao together. For hundreds of years, we have been together and have overcome many hardships together...... Although it was very hard, looking back now, it was the happiest time of my life" Wei Mingfeng's expression softened, obviously remembering those good memories.

"Then our homeland was in great trouble, and she did not want it to perish, and was determined to return to the mortal world, which I certainly disapprove of—since our monks have been born, the rise or fall of human dynasties has nothing to do with us. Even if you don't give up your family affection, take your relatives out of the red dust, and come to the few pure places between the immortal cultivation realm and the mortal realm around Yujing to live a peaceful life, isn't it also good? ”

Wu Xie nodded slightly, although he himself was also a person who was reluctant to give up Hongchen, but looking back, Wei Mingfeng's idea was indeed very reasonable.

"At that time, she was pregnant, and I couldn't rest assured, so I followed her back to the red dust, took a lot of thought, did a lot of things I didn't want to do, and finally calmed down the turmoil." Wei Mingfeng sighed, "But I didn't expect that in this change, her mind has changed......

"Has her mind changed? How has it changed? Du Ruo asked.

She felt that as a princess, she had a responsibility to the country. Seeing that the country is like this, I have the obligation to protect the country...... For the first time in our lives, we had a fight. From then on, they quarreled many times one after another, until finally, I watched her ascend the throne as emperor and left angrily. ”

Du Ruo was taken aback, surprised and curious, and asked, "Miss Meng's mother...... Is it the empress of the world? ”

"That's right. After I left, I lost my cool because of my emotions, and I ran into big trouble during a treasure hunting adventure, and I was stuck in one place for more than 200 years. In those two hundred years, I thought about her a lot, and my heart turned over and over again...... I suddenly understood that immortality wasn't that important compared to her smile."

Du Ruo nodded again and again, and Wu Xie also smiled.

"Two hundred years later, when I finally got out of trouble, I hurried back to see her. Unexpectedly, she had already suffered a backlash of luck and died. Only a little princess who has never grown up is left, obviously in her thirties, but she looks about the same as a child of five or six years old. ”

"That's what the Dao fetus was supposed to be, and this is the work of rebirth." Wu explained.

At a certain stage, the monk will be reborn and become a different being from mortals. The longevity becomes extremely long, and the rate of physical growth and aging becomes extremely slow. Meng Xiujun's parents are both characters who have been reborn, she is a natural Dao fetus, born with a long-lived race, her growth rate is much slower than that of mortals, and her lifespan is far longer than that of mortals.

Wei Mingfeng originally planned to abandon the path and stay with his wife, and it was not bad for him to grow old for the rest of his life. Unexpectedly, he rushed back to the mortal world, but he was decades late, and he saw his wife's body lying quietly in the ice coffin. 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 he was too ruthless, so he didn't tell his daughter who her father was until he died.

Wei Mingfeng's original qualifications were not bad, but after being hit like this, his Dao heart collapsed, and he went mad on the spot and vomited blood, barely supporting him to return to the outer gate of Yujing, and finally couldn't afford to get sick.

It's a big joke that an immortal would get sick. But he was so sick, and he was sick for nearly a hundred years before he barely recovered under the care of several 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 perished, the prosperous country of the past had been destroyed by soldiers, and his wife's cemetery had also suffered and turned into ruins. He found the ice coffin guarded by magic in the rubble, and brought back his wife's body, but did not find his daughter.

Wei Mingfeng was saddened, took his wife's body back to the Yujing faction, and buried his wife next to the cave where he cultivated, so he broke off the dust and concentrated on cultivating.

More than 300 years later, he happened to see a face quite similar to his wife among a group of new disciples who were lucky enough to worship the Yujing faction.

He was surprised in his heart, and carefully collected the information of this female disciple named Meng Xiujun, only to find that she was the daughter who had been separated for many years and thought that she had died in the war

"Since then, I have been taking care of her secretly, and more than a thousand years have passed in a blink of an eye......" Wei Mingfeng sighed long, full of embarrassment, "Now for me, the pursuit of immortality is important, but protecting her is more important than immortality."

Wu Xie and Du Ruo nodded again and again, but Du Ruo couldn't help asking, "Then why don't you recognize her?" ”

"What kind of face does my irresponsible father have to recognize her?" Wei Mingfeng shook his head with a wry smile, stopped speaking, and concentrated on dismantling the corpse of the giant beast.

Wu Xie and Du Ruo glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The three of them were busy for a while, and Wei Mingfeng's face suddenly changed drastically, and he turned his head to look in the direction where Meng Xiujun had gone

"It's hard to show badly"

Wu Xie was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't bother to ask what was going on, he turned into a thunderbolt, and flew thousands of miles in an instant, flying straight to the place where he had encountered the giant beast.
