Rebirth of the Son-in-Law

Fortunately, He Rufeng had arranged the teleportation array, otherwise he would be chased and intercepted by two Nascent Soul monks. Even if He Rufeng was lucky, he would not be able to pass the level so easily.

Counting the time and time, He Rufeng and Zhao Abao used the formation technique to come to the vicinity of the secret realm at the last moment, and then He Rufeng quickly pulled Zhao Abao into the secret realm in the wrath of the master of Pojian Peak.

The Mystic Realm of Ten Thousand Lives is worthy of the Mysterious Realm of Ten Thousand Lives. As soon as they entered the secret realm, He and Zhao could feel more than ten times more aura than that in the cultivation world, which was not much different from the training room with the most aura of Sword Cleansing Sect.

The rich spiritual energy entered He Rufeng's body, and He Rufeng suppressed the desire to cultivate in his heart, and pulled Zhao Abao to carefully observe the surrounding environment.

Although the secret realm has a lot of aura, it is also much more dangerous than outside.The ubiquitous danger represents a steady stream of opportunities, and the opportunity also represents a step closer to cultivation. Opportunities and dangers always complement each other.

Fortunately, the place where He Rufeng and Zhao Abao were located didn't look particularly strange. They entered a sea of ​​stars, surrounded by densely packed small fragments, like stars in the sky.

It was the first time for He Rufeng to enter here, but his heart still moved, he came here for whatever he wanted, this place should be the sea of ​​forgetting mentioned in the book.

Although Don't Forget Sea has the word "sea", it doesn't have a drop of water.

Legend has it that the Sea of ​​Never Forgotten is the product left after a broken continent in the upper three thousand great worlds, and it is the only place where the Starfall Stone is produced.

The falling star stone, the material that He Rufeng used for his talisman, was really urgent, but for some reason, He Rufeng felt a little uneasy.

And touching the falling star stones that he had collected with great difficulty, He Rufeng finally knew what was wrong. The falling star stones came from the Do Not Forget Sea, and its color is blue. The purer the falling star stones, the brighter their color. These falling star stones are indeed bright in color As if it was real, He Rufeng tilted the weight. If it wasn't for the wrong weight, He Rufeng himself would have been deceived.

The falling star stone is indeed from the sea of ​​forgetting. The purer the falling star stone is, the more translucent its blue color is, but few people know that the falling star stone is lighter than ordinary stones.

It turned out that they had fallen into a trap from the very beginning, and the Mysterious Realm of Wansheng was indeed in crisis.

Thinking of this, He Rufeng closed his eyes, intending to get a dagger out of the chaotic space, but unexpectedly found that the chaotic space had no connection with him.

Chaos Space never cut off contact with him for no reason. He Rufeng never thought that he would be so dependent on Chaos Space, and a warning rose in his heart that he was too dependent on Chaos Space.Too much dependence on one thing is destined to be planted on this thing at some point in the future.

He Rufeng couldn't help thinking of the tears when he was 12 years old. That was the only time he shed tears. It was because of a puppy without any aura. He only raised that dog for three months and two days before he was killed by his grandfather. Watch him eat it yourself.He Rufeng doesn't remember the appearance of that dog very much, but he remembers his feeling of eating dog meat bite by bite.

From birth to the age of 12, he only raised this one living animal. No one accompanied him since he was a child, and he finally got a dog. He thought that even if this dog could not accompany him to the end of his life, he would Been with him at some point in his youth.

But I didn't expect the dog to enter his stomach in this way.Is this also considered a kind of companionship?

Eat dog meat, and finally become one with the dog.Later, when I think of this scene, I always laugh at myself.

At that time, Grandpa told him as the head of the He family.He said, "My child, you can't have weaknesses, and you can't rely on something. If you rely too much on something, you will eventually die on this thing. You are a genius who has not been born in the He family for a hundred years. Your only purpose It is to build foundations and seek a longer lifespan."

That was He Rufeng's first taste of losing. He has always owned most of the resources of the He family, because he is an unborn genius of the He family, and because he is the grandson of the head of the He family.

He thought he could have whatever he wanted, but when he ate his beloved pet, he realized that what he had was only what the Patriarch was willing to give him, and what the He family was willing to give him. This is the end of lack of strength .

Grandpa loves him, but he values ​​the He family more, and he can have grandpa's love mostly because he has a talent that others don't have, which is also destined to become the next head of the He family.

Born as the cultivator of the family, he cannot have emotions, personal feelings, or act arbitrarily.Everything should be in the interests of the He family.

His only requirement to live is to prove that Foundation Establishment is not a legend but a fact.

It's a pity that he failed. Even evildoers like He Rufeng have to bear the taste of failure in the face of the weak aura of the ancient earth.

When he was close to 30 years old, he failed to establish a foundation, which meant that he would never have the possibility of establishing a foundation.

Therefore, grandpa no longer forced him, and the elders no longer had expectations of him. After he became infected with demons, grandpa was no longer the strictness of the Patriarch of the He family to him, but the attitude towards relatives.

At that time, He Rufeng was even more confused. He finally stopped being hoped by others and could live a little bit of himself.But there are more demons.

Thinking of this, He Rufeng shuddered.He Rufeng is worthy of being He Rufeng, his rationality is always greater than his sensibility, so when he realized that he was so emotional, he immediately reacted and pinched himself severely first.Feeling the pain, after checking for a long time, he knew that he was not in an illusion, but in a formation.

This formation is not necessarily profound, but it is a bit troublesome to break it.However, He Rufeng has all the books in the chaotic space, and he has dabbled in formations, not to mention that he has focused on studying the formations of reincarnation before.

What's more, the origin of this formation is the phantom formation.

According to legend, it is formed from the obsession left behind by the contract beast of the peerless formation mage after the death of the formation mage.The contracted beast of the formation mage has been following the formation mage since he was wise. Even if he can't learn [-]% of it, it's still possible to learn a little.This is where the Phantom Tribute comes in.

The Phantom Array can be broken if you say it is easy to break, and it is not easy to break if you say it is not easy to break.

It is easy to break because although it is a combination of formation and phantom, it is easy to find loopholes, but it is not easy to break because the phantom formation lives on the greed and memory that sucks everything.

The heavier the greed, the stronger the formation.

It's no wonder that He Rufeng thinks of the past that he thought he had forgotten a long time ago.

Whoever has no greed, who has no sad past, can't be full of happiness in his memory.

It is a very common thing in life to have more suffering and less happiness in this world.

It's just that people subconsciously remember things that make them happy, and things that make them sad, people always use the fastest speed to hide those memories in the corner.If you don't look for it, you won't think of it.

But memory is memory, and it is more honest than time.Time will always blur the past, and no matter how deeply the memory is hidden, it will be as clear as yesterday when encountering the same thing at a certain time.

If it is said that greed is an irresistible desire, then memory is an instinct engraved in the bone marrow.

And the phantom tribute absorbs sad memories to strengthen itself, and then solidifies itself with greed.

Extra episode [-]: Lan ([-])

My name is Lan, which is the name chosen by the second prince. He was ten years old that year, and I was 13 years old.

At that time, I was not called Lan, but my name was Dark Three. I had just finished the dark guard training, and my grades were not bad.It's just that among this group of hidden guards, they happen to be ranked in the top three.

Seeing so many people around me that I couldn't bear to die, the only wish in my heart at that time was not to live or to live longer.But don't die too painfully.

After all, after witnessing more cruel methods of death than skinning, cramping, pulling out bones, cutting in half, even cooking, quartering the body, it is a luxury to die without pain.

I admit that I was a little negative at that time, so even if I heard that the most favored second prince would choose a dark guard from our group of dead soldiers, I was not very happy.

The second prince, as I heard during training, is the most favored prince in the court, and one of his biological mothers is the queen.There is a direct brother who is the prince, who is very good-looking, very likable, and has no tyrannical personality.

Most of the hidden guards looked yearning when they mentioned the second prince, they all wanted to be arranged by the second prince's side.After all, the emperor's prince was too dangerous, and he would die at any time because he heard something he shouldn't have heard or performed a dangerous mission.Only by the side of the second prince, the pleasing son of heaven who seems to have bribed the king of Hades, can he be a quiet mushroom.If this continues, as long as the second prince does not seize the palace, he will be no different from An Xiang in his old age.

We are all orphans with top qualifications collected from all over the country. Although no one loves us, we don't necessarily want to die so quietly.

It's better to die than to live. Who would want to die if they can live?

What's more, the second prince is so good-looking, he can eat two extra bowls of food even if he looks at him twice a day.

This is the voice of most of the hidden guards, but most of them do not include me.It's not that I'm lofty or ambitious, it's just because of my instinctive dislike and hatred for the second prince.

No, more precisely, it should be jealousy.

yes!I'm jealous, I'm jealous of his father's kindness and mother's love, his brothers and friends are respectful, he is favored by everyone, and he doesn't eat the fireworks of the world.But I have been abandoned by my parents since I was born, and I have nothing to rely on.

I'm jealous of his rich clothes and fine food, he doesn't eat the fireworks in the world, he doesn't know the heat and cold, and he doesn't know the joys and sorrows.And I walked alone, and even if I died, no one would collect my body.

I'm jealous of him doing what he wants to do unscrupulously, but I can only hide in the dark, repeating the same action year after year.

I'm jealous of every delicacies he eats, such as abalone and lobster, and sometimes I can't even eat steamed buns if I don't do my job well.

I envy him...

How can I not be jealous, he has everything I yearn for.

Even his appearance I am extremely jealous, because I look so mediocre, although it fits the appearance of the dark guard most, but that twin is not in love with Ai, although I don't think about getting married, but I also hope Look better, look better.

If I look better, my parents won't abandon me, and I won't be an orphan, helpless.

For a long time, I hypnotized myself like this. I hypnotized myself that my parents abandoned me because I was too ugly. If I looked good, my parents would definitely not abandon me.

Hypnotized and hypnotized, even I have decided that if I look good-looking, I will definitely be like the second prince, loving father and mother, respecting brothers and friends.

Therefore, when I learned that the top three of our hidden guards were going to the second prince's palace, and let the second prince choose a hidden guard as his hole card like picking animals, I was angry, but more of it was a sense of powerlessness.

Before I met the second prince, I swore that I had delayed the second prince a thousand times in my heart and was not satisfied, and I cut him to pieces countless times.

But when I saw the second prince, I realized that some people are really born to be loved. Even if I hate it like I do, I have to admit that the second prince is really, really good-looking.And good-looking people are born to be favored.

An Yi, An Er and I stood in front of the second prince, but he didn't want the second prince to take a fancy to me at first sight, he said, "Lan's skirt is so shiny, you will be called Lan from now on!".

The voice is exceptionally clear and crisp, so easy to hear. I admit that I am voice-activated, and I can't help feeling flattered. I don't feel aggrieved when I am the second prince's secret guard, and even the dark eyes of the second prince don't affect me.

An Er is the second prince fan who wants to be the second prince's secret guard the most. Compared with An Yi's ambition to be famous, An Er's greatest wish is to be the second prince's secret guard. Unfortunately, I cut him off , but I don't feel sorry for An Er at all, who made him always look at me with contempt during the incident of the Second Prince of Popular Science?

If I had known that the Second Prince was so good-looking and had such a nice voice, I really wouldn't mind using the meal time to inquire about the Second Prince's preferences.

What's more, the Second Prince even gave me such a nice name - Lan.

Gorgeous, the sparkle of the skirt is shining.It sounds very cultural and connotative.I only learned how to read and write, I thought happily.

I don't mind at all, the dark second passed on me as a scheming bitch.The circle of hidden guards is not big, not to mention that being a dark guard only has the benefit of gossip.

Up to the royal family and nobles, down to the concubines in the harem, the secrets and gossips of the upper class, there is no fig leaf in the secret guard circle, and we see the big thorns in our eyes. The stories told by teahouse storytellers are more wonderful. It makes people dizzy, for fear of missing the climax.

So when I knew that I had become a new round of gossip in the dark guard circle, I was also speechless.

I swear, I really didn't do it on purpose, the clothes of the dark guard look the same after changing, except black is black, even if you change a set every day, people will only think that you have never changed clothes.

I just squatted on the tree for a long time that day. Although my clothes were still black, they were a little mottled, and I missed a flower on my shoulder.

Normally I wouldn't make these small mistakes. Didn't the dark second say that the secret guards would be assigned in the next few days, so I was a little embarrassed!

How can this become a scheming bitch, this is slander, I want to appeal, I want to appeal, I want to...

All right!I secretly admitted that I just wanted the second prince to despise me and not choose me.I don't want to be the secret guard for the object of my envy and hatred!

Just some things, like fate.The way of heaven is fair, and no one can escape.

…………

Being the second prince's secret guard is really boring, every day is two o'clock and one line.

Although the second prince is loved by thousands of people, he is still at the age of studying hard.Occasionally, apart from having meals with the emperor and queen, there is very little time for fun.

Teasing cats and dogs, molesting court ladies and so on, only exist in my imagination.

I can tell you responsibly that the secret guards are right in their conclusion, the second emperor's uterus is indeed suitable for retirement.

I held a plate of snacks and ate them one after another. I touched the extra flesh around my waist in boredom. I was so sad and angry that I got fat again, fat, fat.I vowed to return to my standard figure last month, and I am even fatter than before.

Compared with An Yi's bloody body from time to time, I feel like I'm living a pig's life.

But I don't want the turning point to be in my year...

That year, I, the second prince, was 15 years old, and it happened when the second prince left the palace to build a mansion.

And I also lived the life of a pig for five years with the Second Prince.

In my memory, the sky was very blue that day, blue without a trace of variegation, but it did not make people feel joyful at all.

The rebels surrounded, the palace gate fell, the ground was covered with blood, and bad news appeared one after another.

In the end, he escaped from the secret room, and only the second prince survived.

Under the pursuit day and night, the people around the second prince defected and died, and in the end, only me and the second prince were left to depend on each other.On the way to escape, he asked me "what's your name?"

I thought the Second Prince remembered me, but unfortunately he forgot. He forgot that five years ago he personally chose a secret guard and gave him a nice name - Lan.

Gorgeous, the sparkle of the skirt is shining.I consulted a lot of dark guards before I realized that this sentence means colorful and beautiful clothes with shining brilliance.

However, the second prince forgot, he thought that I was my father and brother who arranged for him to be his second hand.

Later, we fled to a very remote mountain village, where I went hunting, and the second prince also learned to be a commoner.

At that time, I thought that we would live a normal life.I can make him live well by hunting. Although it is not as good as the fine clothes and food in the palace, I will do my best to make him live well.

However, the rebels came after all, I was too careless.Leaves traces when selling prey.Those five years of retirement life have reduced my sharpness to danger a lot.

Maybe it's because of guilt!I protect the second prince even more, but I don't want the second prince to want me.

The 15-year-old second prince is already at the age where he can marry a wife and have children. The guards headed by An Er have also discussed which noble woman is suitable for the second prince. After discussions and discussions, no one is suitable.The second prince is like the sun in the sky, even if these noble girls are born noble and talented, they are not worthy of the perfect second prince.

At that time, the emperor and queen also planned to choose concubines and concubines for the second prince after he built the mansion and left the palace, so as to solve the lifelong affairs of the second prince.

But I didn't want to take advantage of me in the end, and I became the second prince's bed warmer.Although the second prince said that I am his imperial husband, I am self-aware.

I'm just a humble secret guard, how can He De become the second prince's husband.

It was only then that I finally realized soberly that I fell in love with the second prince.No, to be precise, I fell in love with the second prince.

I'm jealous because of him, I'm envious because of him, he also gave me my name, everything about me revolves around him.

He carries all my memories, throughout most of my previous life.

He is what I most desire to be, and it is also my unattainable wish.

And now I'm lying in his arms, and he has kissed my whole body preciously, what else can't be satisfied?

Even if this is a sweet dream, even if I wake up the next moment, at least the second prince is hugging me right now.

I don't ask for much!It's really not much, I know I'm not worthy of the second prince, I know the second prince's embrace of me is just a forced choice.

But can you give me a little more time, just a little bit, just a little bit.

Extra episode [-]: Lan ([-])

I am pregnant, which is a great blessing to me. It is not that I can rely on the father to be more expensive than the son. The main reason is that I am pregnant with the flesh and blood of the person I love.

From then on, we have a bond, and with a bond, even if we part ways in the future, our flesh and blood will accompany me for the rest of my life.

I thought this was the beginning of my journey to happiness, and I thought it was a sign that God began to take pity on me.

But I don't want to, the way of heaven has always been like this, if you want to take it first, you must give it first.I paid a terrible price for the self-righteousness I always thought I had.

I lost my first child, and the child who pinned all my expectations had nothing to do with me after all.

I am humble, I am narrow-minded, and I am greedy.But what does this have to do with my child.

He hasn't looked at the world yet, he's still so young, what did he do wrong?

I put my arms around the neck of the man I love, and he ran with me, panting.I tightened the hand around his neck, tighter, tighter...

I know the most vulnerable place on the neck, I know how to kill people without pain, and I know how fast to put people down.

Just a little bit, just bear it, my love, let's go to hell to accompany the baby, he is still so young, he can't do without his father and mother.

But in the end, I still put my two wrists at a safe distance bit by bit.

Put your head on the second prince's chest, which is the closest to your heart.I heard his heart pounding, forcing tears to the deepest part of his eyes.

I finally know that my child is more important than me, and more important than my child is my Second Prince.

Sorry baby, I still can't kill your father.

I'm sorry, baby, we can't go to the underworld to accompany you.

That night I asked the second prince, "Have you ever looked forward to that child's arrival?" while the second prince was asleep.

After asking, I looked at the sleeping face of the second prince, a little dazed and dazed.

I don't even have the courage to ask him face to face, what am I afraid of?I have nothing to fear.

This man is all I believe in, and I should have nothing to fear.

But I was still afraid, just like watching one failed dark guard after another die in the horrible punishment.I am afraid that my second prince will abandon me, just like abandoning those failed secret guards.

The dark guard's failure and punishment came from the pain of the body, but he abandoned me, and I will have no refuge.

So I tried to pull myself together and act like nothing had happened.

I didn't need to pretend, facial expression control is the most basic training for the hidden guards, so we just hid and fled in silence, turning around in the mountains.

Talk to me!Say anything!my sweetheart!I need you to break down the inexplicable barrier between us!

But my second prince is stingy with even a single word.I waited with great anticipation only to be disappointed.

I suddenly remembered that once when I was doing a mission, when I accidentally passed by the Leng Palace, I heard a beloved concubine who was said to be very favored repeat these sixteen words crazily and repeatedly, "The lantern is fragile, the favor is hard to return, and the longing is fruitless. torrential."

At that time, I didn't understand what it meant, but after I personally experienced it, I realized that it turns out that the unforgettable feeling after empathy is the most hurtful.

The so-called grace is hard to return, but it is not even the warmest greeting.

I thought this was my worst despair, but then I realized that these were just appetizers before the storm.

While traveling in the mountains, we encountered the greatest opportunity of our life.We were reborn from Nirvana, we were reborn, and I vaguely understood that with our aptitudes and this inheritance, sooner or later we would live forever.

At that time, I was naive and thought that we, who depended on each other for life, would have more time to deepen this relationship.

But we were separated, and we were separated for no reason. I tried my best to find him, and I wanted to tell him that I was pregnant again, and we had this little life again.

He is in our blood and he will be the best looking baby in the whole world.

This must be heaven pitying me, this must be the beginning of my luck.

But I don’t want to meet again. My second prince is wearing a bright red straight-fronted gown, and his black hair is tied up with a jade-encrusted gold crown. Sometimes people feel unattainable.

So pretty!I looked at the smile on the second prince's face from the bottom of my heart, and felt a void in my heart, as if I was in a black hole and couldn't find a way out.

I am your husband, but you have become someone else's husband.

why?

I want to ask him, I want to ask why he abandoned me.Didn't he say that I am his imperial husband?Why abandon me?Obviously he made me understand extravagance, obviously he was so kind to me.

But what was greeted was a palm without any emotion, it hurt so much, I seemed to smell the smell of blood.But the bright red of the lower body laughed at my escape, and I lost my second child again.

I lay on the ground, the sun was so warm, but it couldn't warm me.

"Lan's skirt is so shiny, you'll be called Lan from now on!"

"You will be my imperial husband from now on, and I will treat you well."

……

I thought I would hate, but I found it harder to hate than to love.

It was him, Jiu Yan, it was Jiu Yan who killed my child, I want revenge, I want to kill Jiu Yan, I told myself so.

People who escape from reality are always cowardly, and I put all my hatred on Jiuyan.

A few days later at night, I finally saw Jiu Yan, standing in front of the window, staring at the moonlight in a daze.

He haggarded a lot, but he was still as proud as the precious flowers in the royal garden, graceful and luxurious, outstanding.

Just like the second prince, they were all formed by watering the jade liquid, and they were above everyone since they were young.They are the pride of heaven, and they live in the same world.

In that world without me, even if I forcefully joined, I would be out of place.

Suddenly, I had no desire for revenge.

It was me who had delusions, I was bold, and I was greedy.

Dark third, you are just the second prince's secret guard.If the second prince hadn't given you a name, you wouldn't even be worthy of a name.You are a sludge growing in the dark, so what qualifications do you have to monopolize the famous flowers under the sun.

What are you doing?Have you fulfilled your duty as a hidden guard?You actually disregarded the safety of the Second Prince, like a mad dog, biting anyone you saw.

I extinguished the hatred in my heart, tracked all the way, and displayed my highest professionalism as a secret guard with respect and responsibility.

So be it!From now on, you are just the second prince's secret guard.I hypnotize myself like this.

But after all, I am a human being. If I am a human, I will suffer. If I am a human, I will have greed. If I am a human, I will... be unwilling.

I imitated Jiu Yan's temperament and lived beside the second prince. I watched him being attracted to me, and I watched him getting closer to me.

I don't know whether it is sad or sad, but I am still happy.

So be it!that's all……

I am willing to be what you want most, I am willing to give up all my personality and hobbies, and crawl at your feet.As long as you are still willing to love me, as long as you are still willing to want me.

Bodhisattvas fear the cause, and sentient beings fear the result.The causal cycle, the retribution is really bad.

I ruined Jiu Yan's wedding, and Jiu Yan approached me on the eve of my wedding with the second prince.

I asked the second prince, "Why is it Jiuyan? It is clear that Lan is with you the most."

In the end, I still didn't get the second prince's answer. I gave him medicine, which was colorless and tasteless. I kept the medicine close to my body for a long time.

The medicine has the effect of aphrodisiac and also has the effect of helping to conceive. It is a medicine commonly used by concubines in the palace.I can't remember what kind of mentality I withheld this medicine, but I didn't want to use it in the end.

I can't accept your answer, so you better not answer, give me a child!I don't ask for anything else, I just want a flesh and blood between us.

I will be nicer to him than to you.I will take him away from you, you don't have to worry about me being entangled in you.

Spring outing, apricot blossoms blowing all over your head.Who in the Moshang family is young enough to be romantic?The concubine intends to marry her and live off her life.Even if you are ruthlessly abandoned, you can't be ashamed.

Goodbye to my second prince. From then on, I will miss you forever, and I will never see you again.

Unfortunately, Jiuyan didn't let me go.I gave birth to my child in hiding and lost my child in hiding.

I didn't keep my promise, and finally found my second prince.

He has changed, and he is nothing like the handsome second prince in my memory.

But what does that matter, I no longer have the courage to fly to the flame.

Even if he sees me as happy as a child, even if his bright eyes hurt my eyes.

Let's fight!With life and death as the boundary.I am not here to attend your long-lost reunion, but to make an end.

I drew out my sword and swung it towards him with the most decisive gesture.

Goodbye, my love!

I'm tired and I'm going to find my three kids.I have never regretted it in this life, but if there is an afterlife, please, stay away from me, farther away.

If I'm a farm boy, let me marry a farmer.

If I am still a hidden guard, then let my master give me the Unfeeling Pill!

Love is too bitter, let me be quiet in the next life!

But why are you the one who died?

I hugged my second prince with all my strength, why were you the one who died?

That's fine, I carried the second prince to the cave where we got the inheritance. The cave is still the same as when we left.

I cut off my pulse, and fell peacefully into the arms of the second prince.

I lost you here, and I will die with you here.

We will go to the place I most yearn for, where there is no Jiuyan, no hunting.

But there must be our flesh and blood there.They don't have names yet, I believe in you, you will definitely give them the best names in the world, you will teach them the Four Books and Five Classics, and I will teach them Qinggong and Martial Arts.Our family of five will be the happiest people.

Author's gossip: When a man cheats, most people think it's the mistress' fault, not because they really think it's the mistress' fault, but because they can't hate the man who betrayed him, they can only vent their anger on the mistress.
