For three days, Nanfeng sat under the stone gate for three whole days.
In the past three days, he had thought a lot, and he had become much older.
His chin, which had not been shaved for a long time, was covered with stubble, and his eyes were already bloodshot from being kept open, giving him a feeling of depression.
These three days were an opportunity for him to indulge himself. He wanted to bury all his love for Granowen together in this mausoleum.
After he goes out, he will be the cold-blooded and ruthless Emperor Nanfeng again. He is a responsible person and will not collapse under such a blow. The three-day exile is the vacation he gave himself. If his heartstrings continue to be so tense,
Sooner or later he will go crazy.
Caressing the stone door, Nanfeng stood up from the ground staggeringly.
Looking at the sword broken in two on the ground, he did not pick it up. He smiled coldly, half self-deprecating and half indifferent, and then took out a medium-sized brocade box from his arms.
He squatted down and used his broken sword to dig a hole in the ground, just enough to accommodate the brocade box.
Putting the brocade box into the dug hole, Nanfeng's eyes were full of struggle, but he still dug hard to cover it up.
When the soil completely buried the brocade box, Nanfeng also lost all his strength and fell to the ground slumped.
A breeze blew by, causing the dust to fly. Nanfeng, who had been slumped on the ground, suddenly straightened up, knelt on the ground, and dug the hole he had just filled with his fingers.
His movements were very rough, and due to excessive force, there was blood in the gaps between his fingers, but he still turned a blind eye and continued digging.
Finally, he dug out the brocade box.
Carefully holding up the brocade box and carefully flicking off the dust on it, Nanfeng held it tightly in his arms and murmured: "Granevin, don't leave me! I was wrong, would you please come back?"
?”
Nanfeng is like a child who has made a mistake, asking for forgiveness from others, but he still cannot see the person who can forgive him, and the only answer is the whistling wind.
Knowing that what he was doing was completely in vain, Nanfeng stood up unsteadily, took a deep look at the closed door, put the brocade box in his hand back into his arms, and left the mausoleum without looking back.
What he couldn't let go of was none other than the scales Granywin peeled off because of his words. In fact, he had always thought her scales were beautiful, a kind of low-key gold, but he didn't have time to tell her yet.
She, he didn't hate her fish tail, on the contrary, when he liked her very much, Graniwin couldn't hear her after all. This would be the lifelong regret of Emperor Nanfeng.
"Graniven, have I still lost you?" Emperor Nanfeng's murmur echoed in the passage, but the person who could answer him was gone after all.
Inside the stone gate, Jerry had held Wuyou and was hiding in a secret room in the mausoleum.
This secret room is the closest to the exit from the Shadow Realm.
In the past few days, he had been threatening Wuyou to hand over the goddess's scepter, but Wuyou was a monolith and would not accept soft or hard advice, and Jerry did not dare to hurt her, so the two of them fell into a stalemate.
Outside, Xuan Qiu led his army of reborn corpses and searched every corner, but still could not find Wuyou.
The angry Xuan Qiu was already on the verge of going berserk.
Today is the third day, and there is still no trace of Graniwin. Xuanqiu really can't wait any longer. He knows that there must be some mechanism in this tomb, but he is only a master tactician and not proficient in mechanisms, so there is nothing he can do.
Facing those agencies, Xuan Qiu chose the most direct method, which was to tear down the wall.
Jerry must be hiding in a secret room somewhere. As long as the walls are removed, there will be nothing for him to hide from.
This method is undoubtedly unwise. To demolish the wall of a building in the imperial tomb in the deep lake will undoubtedly accelerate its collapse.
But this method is the most effective method. Even if Jerry cannot be found hiding, it is still possible to force him out.
I have to admit that Xuan Qiu's decision is very effective.
After Xuanqiu demolished the first wall, Jerry's face became very ugly. These walls were pillars supporting the magic array. If a few important ones were destroyed, the water-proof array would also be destroyed.
If it is destroyed, the lake water will inevitably flow into the mausoleum.
This is not the worst thing. Too much movement here will definitely attract attention on the mainland. When the real strong people come, maybe the plan of the Shadow Realm to secretly enter the human world will be exposed.
Thinking of this, Jerry couldn't help but shudder. He was just a vanguard sent by the Shadow Realm. He wanted to rely on this opportunity to make meritorious service and gain the king's appreciation. If he failed in this matter, he would not be able to do anything.
If you say it's you, your family in the Shadow Realm will also be implicated.
Seeing that the protective shield was already a little unstable, Jerry knew that if he didn't go out to stop this madman, the world would be in chaos.
"stop!!!"
Just when Xuanqiu was about to bombard the next stone wall, Jerry's voice sounded out of thin air.
Xuanqiu's hand hanging in mid-air also stopped.
There was still no expression on his face, he just looked at Jerry with cold eyes and pointed at a collapsed wall not far away, seeming to tell him that if he didn't hand over Granvin, what would happen to him.
It will be like that wall.
Seemingly understanding what Xuan Qiu meant, Jerry stepped aside, revealing Wuyou behind him.
Seeing Graniwin being held hostage behind Jerry, Xuan Qiu was furious. What could be more infuriating than a beloved woman getting hurt in front of his eyes?
Jerry's purpose was obvious. Although he was afraid that Xuan Qiu would continue to destroy the pillars and cause the lake water to pour into the mausoleum, he also knew that Xuan Qiu was also afraid that he would continue to hold Graniwen hostage and hurt her, so there was such a silence between the two for a moment.
Confronted.
Jerry stood on the high platform with a gloomy expression and fear on his face. His originally luxurious robe had become dusty after hiding in the past few days, and there were still a few stains on his face. He was no longer as ambitious as he was back then.
He looks like a proud national master.
Although he still has the puppet Granywin in his hand, he knows very well that this is his last trump card. Once he reveals it, he will directly face the murderous group of reborn zombies below.
Xuanqiu and his soldiers stood at the foot of the stone steps and had already surrounded Jerry and Granowen. He was just afraid that Jerry would be destroyed together, so he didn't dare to act rashly for a while.
At this time, the Reborn Corpse Corps seemed to feel the leader's anger, exuding a terrifying aura. Even Jerry, who was accustomed to seeing big scenes in the Shadow Realm, was a little frightened.
Xuan Qiu stood at the front of the square, looking up at Jerry. There was no expression on his withered face. He only stared at Jerry firmly with his pair of blue eyes, and let out a beast-like roar in his throat.
The low roar echoed continuously in this originally silent hall, making it look eerie and terrifying.
Such a terrifying scene made Wuyou feel so distressed behind Jerry. He knew before that Xuan Qiu volunteered to become a reborn corpse to protect Graniwin for thousands of years. I guess he must still have resentment in his heart!
But at this time, she became the client, and what she saw in Xuan Qiulan's eyes was that she had no regrets. She felt sorry for this man in her heart, and she felt guilty for her own helplessness.
Such a strange atmosphere spread in the hall. After an unknown amount of time, Jerry finally seemed to realize that Xuan Qiu could not make a sound and could not make any suggestions at all.
So he took the initiative to open his mouth and let out a dry and hoarse voice:
"Give me the scepter of life and I will let her go..."
Xuanqiu and Wuyou have heard this condition countless times, and they have never planned to agree to it.
For Wuyou, the girl's scepter is her promise to Graniven and an important token of her ten exams. She cannot lose it.
Xuan Qiu also knew very well that once Jerry got the Scepter of Life, the passage between the Shadow Realm and the Human Realm would be opened, and mankind would be devastated by then. Although he betrayed the king of the Nanfeng Empire, he was still loyal to the people of the empire, even if
As much as he loved Graniwen, he couldn't do such a thing if he just watched his people being slaughtered by demons.
So the two of them shook their heads at the same time, but Wuyou shook his head to signal Xuanqiu not to agree, while Xuanqiu shook his head firmly indicating that it was impossible for him to accept such conditions.
The only condition Xuanqiu can agree to is that Jerry lets Graniwin go and he spares Jerry's life.
But Jerry cannot accept such conditions. If he fails to complete the task and returns to the Shadow Realm in despair, the King of Shadows will not let him go. Therefore, today he must get the Scepter of Life no matter what.
Both Jerry and Xuanqiu knew that they had to come to an end today, but Xuanqiu didn't want Graniwin to be harmed, but by now he had no choice but to do so.
Seeing that the conflict was irreconcilable, Xuan Qiu half-turned his head and let out a low groan in his throat. The reborn zombie army behind him moved upon hearing the sound. In an instant, there was a sound of bones and metal, and they started to attack with heavy steps towards the high platform.
.
Seeing the soldiers surrounding him, Jerry was a little panicked. Several instant magics hit the reborn corpses. However, such attacks could only paralyze them temporarily and could not hurt them at all. Only then did he remember
My ordinary magic has no effect at all on such an undead monster.
Seeing this situation, a coldness flashed across Jerry's gloomy face, and he gave up the unnecessary attack. When no one was paying attention, he turned around and took out a dagger to stab Wuyou.
No one expected that Jerry would choose to die together so quickly. Wuyou, who was caught off guard, could not defend herself at all. The long and sharp dagger stabbed directly into her chest, with disbelief in her crystal eyes.
And Xuan Qiu understood Jerry's intention the moment he turned around, but with his own speed, he couldn't stop it at all. In an instant, his blue eyes turned blood red, and then he let out a low and strange roar, holding the big sword in his hand.
He threw it hard and flew towards Jerry with a sharp whistling sound and spin.
At this time, the furious Jerry didn't notice Xuan Qiu's anger at all. He bent down and was about to slit Wuyou's throat with a dagger to give her a fatal blow.
Just when he was about to succeed, the big sword thrown by Xuan Qiu had pierced Jerry with a fierce momentum. Jerry's body received a fatal blow. He paused and looked at the sword that passed through his body in disbelief.
He turned his head, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground unknowingly. He randomly touched the hilt of the sword behind his back and tried to pull it out of his body, still wailing on the verge of death.
Fortunately, his attention had left Wuyou, and it seemed that he also thought that Wuyou was stabbed in the heart and would never survive. Jerry's arms danced wildly, then he stumbled around and knelt down on the stone steps.
Then he struggled a few times and finally fell down.
Seeing that Jerry had fallen and Wuyou was not sure whether he was alive or dead, Xuanqiu couldn't help but feel anxious anymore and staggered up the stone steps. At this time, he couldn't wait to hold his Graniwin. He hated himself for being so weak.
, unable to protect the woman he loves.
With all kinds of thoughts, Xuan Qiu stepped over Jerry's body. In front of him, blood was flowing all over the body of Graniwin, and his white dress was dyed crimson.
Xuan Qiu wailed, and then quickened his pace. At this time, he just wanted to hold Graniven. The undead army behind him seemed to feel the leader's sadness, and they all stopped making noises and became silent.
But no one noticed that the fallen Jerry moved his fingers slightly.
