Start with Tianlong Murong family, fight against the heavens

Chapter 967: Desire in the World, Union of Heaven and Earth

He placed the fox in a deep pit and was about to bury it.

The sound of sobbing came from behind, getting closer and closer.

"Can you...can you? Give our mother back to us?"

Murong Ji turned his head and saw a little fox standing next to the deep pit. Its white fur was already stained with a lot of mud, and even some green juice from tree leaves was stained on its body.

That pitiful look made Murong Ji slowly stop smiling.

Seeing Murong Ji's expression change, the little fox was startled and subconsciously shrank behind himself.

Murong Ji sighed and looked up. The other two were still hiding in the grass, looking at Murong Ji with worry in their eyes.

Murong Ji was silent for a moment, and confirmed that the three foxes were all female. Then he asked, "Are you their sister?"

The little fox nodded timidly, then looked back at the bushes worriedly.

Murong Ji squatted down, reached out and gently stroked the fox's head, and said slowly: "She is dead, bury her in peace, so that she will not be eaten by the wild beasts in the jungle."

"But...but, if I bury my mother in the ground, she will be eaten by the earth..."

Murong Ji was silent for a moment. He had never thought about this. Being decomposed into soil by bacteria and returning to the earth could be considered as being eaten by the land.

"So what do you want to do? Make your mother's body into jerky? Take it out and look at it from time to time?"

The little fox was stunned for a moment. After coming to its senses, it turned around in circles, not knowing what to do.

Murong Ji chuckled and said, "Why not bury it first and leave a mark. When you miss her in the future, you can come back and see her."

The little fox blinked its big eyes at Murong Ji, and for a moment, it didn't know what to do.

The three little foxes hurried back to the bushes and discussed quietly. Finally, another fox poked its head out timidly and asked in a low voice: "Are you...are you an immortal?"

Murong Ji shook his head and said nothing more.

Only then did he realize that the three little foxes looked exactly the same and must be triplets.

This was a bit strange. He had never seen triplets among foxes.

"Then you can bury our mother. Can you help us leave a mark?"

Murong Ji nodded, said no more, and began to manipulate the soil, burying it in the deep pit and arching up a mound of earth.

Murong Ji raised his sword and slashed it towards the cliff, directly carving out a stone tablet.

Just as he was about to carve something on it, he remembered that he didn't know the fox's name, so he asked, "What's your mother's name?"

"What's the name?"

Murong Ji was speechless for a moment. He turned to look at the three little foxes sitting in a row and asked, "How do the foxes in Tushan call your mother?"

The little fox in the lead tilted his head slightly and thought carefully, "Hmm...ah...it seems to be calling! And hi!"

"And! And! Oh, you! Stupid thing!"

Murong Ji looked at the fox, imitated a few sounds and gestures, and held his forehead with helplessness, just like the original humans.

Except for a few individual foxes, the rest of the foxes don't have a name.

Murong Ji still doesn't know what his biological mother's name was in the prehistoric world.

For a moment, he felt a little melancholy and sighed, "I'll give her one." Without waiting for the three little foxes to agree, he carved a few big words on the stone tablet:

Tomb of Fengxi at Tushan.

After the tombstone was erected, I turned around and saw three foxes circling around it.

They couldn't read and didn't know what Murong Ji wrote. At this moment, they were very conflicted and didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Murong Ji suddenly asked: "Are you going back to Tushan? I can take you back."

Suddenly, the three foxes stood there in a daze, their expressions becoming increasingly silent.

"We don't want to go back. There is endless work to do there, and no foxes will pay attention to us. They are all so cold and don't treat us as their own people."

"Yeah, we're too small. We can't guard the food and we'll starve to death."

"Mother taught us how to hunt, and we want to do it here... woooo." Before he could finish his words, he was blocked by another little fox.

Don't let her continue.

Murong Ji was silent for a while. He could see what the three little foxes were thinking. He was silent for a long time without saying a word.

The three little foxes hung their heads and said weakly, "But... we will really starve to death..."

Murong Ji finally sighed, and directly detained the three foxes in his hands. He supported them with an invisible force and walked towards the mountain road step by step.

"Follow me from now on. I'll give you food and you won't starve."

"Really?! Really?!"

"Won't we be hungry in the future?!"

The last one was about to speak when his mouth was covered.

Murong Ji was too lazy to pay attention to the three chirping little foxes, who went down the mountain in silence, then flew up on their swords and headed towards the South Heaven Gate.

His mind was in a state of confusion, with past events flashing before his eyes. He was filled with emotion, nostalgia, melancholy, joy, sadness, etc. All emotions were mixed together. The expression on his face changed again and again. If someone saw his state at this moment, they would probably think Murong Ji was a lunatic.

It took a long time before I slowly calmed down my emotions, and I couldn't understand why I was so sentimental.

Immortality is not a good thing. It would be better if one could be ruthless and desireless, but who can be ruthless and desireless?

The scenes of the past will torture you to pieces, and at that time, continuing to live will be a kind of courage.

After entering the South Heavenly Gate, the three little foxes had a great time. Many of the things they had never seen before, and the luxury and grandeur of the place almost dazzled them.

Murong Ji didn't bother to care about the emotions of the three little ones. He took them directly into the Lingxiao Palace and casually handed out some fairy fruits and pills to fill their stomachs.

"Don't be greedy..."

"Yeah, yeah." The three little ones nodded in unison.

Murong Ji sat in front of the desk and dealt with the accumulated matters first. When he came to his senses, he didn't know how much time had passed.

When I looked up, I saw three little foxes lying on the ground with their arms and legs spread out. Their bellies were so round from eating so much that they couldn't get up.

Murong Ji: "..."

He rubbed his forehead and thought that he shouldn't have any illusions about the self-control of these three little ones.

"Get up and go for a walk."

The three little ones stood up reluctantly, put the unfinished food on their backs, and followed Murong Ji out of Lingxiao Palace.

Murong Ji turned around and glanced at the three chubby ones who were following him in a line, looking very well behaved.

But... walking is a bit difficult.

Leading the three of them towards the Marriage Palace, Murong Ji slowed down his pace.

The Marriage Palace is a magnificent palace complex, not just a single palace.

Strictly speaking, this is a government department of the heavenly court.

Murong Ji used it specifically to deal with marriages in the world.

Just like the Book of Life and Death in the underworld, fate, love, hatred, etc. are all managed here.

Murong Ji walked in front, not looking around, and behind him followed three little foxes who were shouting and yelling.

They had never seen the various styles of buildings in heaven. Every palace had different style and characteristics, which made them very happy.

The little fox followed Murong Ji closely, but he didn't know where to look.

The originally quiet environment was disturbed by these three little ones.

Some celestial officials were displeased and walked out to see which palace the child was from as they were so ignorant. They were about to scold him but when they saw Murong Ji, they immediately retracted their heads.

Murong Ji frowned slightly, looked back at the three little ones, but did not speak to stop them. He walked all the way to Yue Lao Palace and pushed the door to enter the palace.

The three little ones were still chattering about what they had just seen.

Yue Lao is a newly created position in the Heavenly Palace. Today’s Yue Lao Palace is still a simple courtyard.

Chai Daohuang was in the main hall, sorting out the necessary papers and pens and ink. When he saw Murong Ji walk in, he stood up hurriedly.

"See Your Majesty."

When he looked up, he saw the three little foxes behind him, who had not yet transformed. They looked around curiously, and finally their eyes fell on him.

Chai Daohuang was a little stunned for a moment, but then he came to his senses, said no more, and pretended not to see anything.

Murong Ji glanced inside the hall and saw various booklets that were used to record and manage the world's desires.

Marriage is only one of the government affairs in Yue Lao Palace, and there are other emotions such as hatred, desire, etc.

Now we just have to wait for the facilities to be ready before we can start transcribing and organizing.

After Murong Ji walked into the main hall, he saw a large open space that had just been cleared.

Such a large open space is enough to be used as a training ground.

Murong Ji took a look and selected the center of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation, and then planted the locust tree on it.

When it comes to planting trees, Murong Ji has never seen anyone better than the Ancient Tree Yueti Clan.

Murong Ji happened to learn a skill from them, and then, he suddenly thought, should he bring the Yueti clan into this world?

It would be a good idea to use this to dredge the mountains, rivers and land.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Murong Ji began to concentrate on connecting the ancient tree and the patterns of the entire Zhoutian Star Fighting Array, modifying the Zhoutian Star Fighting Array to arouse love and desire in the world.

This ancient tree is a low-grade innate spiritual root, which is extremely rare.

Soon, Murong Ji connected the tree crown to the Zhoutian Xingdou formation, and then connected the tree roots to the prehistoric land through the formation.

It connects to the great array of gods and demons in Shangdutian in order to absorb the countless loves and desires left over from reincarnation in the underworld.

It can also be regarded as a joint experiment between Zhoutian Xingdou and Dutian Shensha.

With the operation of the Zhoutian Xingdou formation and the connection of the Dutian Shensha formation, for a moment there really were countless desires connected to this ancient locust tree.
