bad

Under the water in the middle of the four seas, there is a huge and magnificent palace, and a huge pearl on the top exudes a clear light like a bright moon, refracting countless ripples in the blue water.

Lou Liuyi leads Lou Henai, and Fanye and Xibei wait outside the door.

Northwest was in a daze, looking at the closed door, his eyes were red, "Tiger..."

Lou Liuyi whispered: "Don't cry."

Lou Henai patted Xibei on the shoulder, and comforted him, "It'll be fine."

Having said that, there is always a bad premonition in my heart. Immortal Nanling has been in for two hours, and there is no movement.

Ao Yuan came from the other side, followed by the long-bearded Dragon Palace Steward Zhang Ba.

Lou Liuyi nodded politely at him, "Mr. Long, how is Little Tiger?"

Ao Yuan glanced at Fan Ye who was at the side, and said, "I've fed the dragon's blood and sent it to the Mirage Realm. It should begin to shed its skin in a few days."

Lou Liuyi was surprised: "Moulting?"

Ao Yuan nodded slightly, and said: "It was supposed to start shedding for the first time at the age of 120, but it was ten years too late, so we can't delay any longer. Mirage is the burial place of my people, with the protection of our ancestors, he will be fine, don't worry about it." Worry."

Lou Liuyi breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Lord Long, for your concern."

Ao Yuan said: "I should thank you. Since he is a dragon, he is my clansman, as it should be."

Lou Liuyi froze for a moment, but did not say any rebuttal words.

Fan Ye sneered.It's really an evil fate, no matter whether Ao Yuan is Xu Boyuan or not, with Xu Nian's existence, they will always be entangled.

After waiting for a long time, Nan Ling came out of the room.

Seeing his mournful face, everyone's hearts were half cold.

He closed the door, Xibei grabbed his sleeve, and asked anxiously: "Xianjun! What happened to the tiger?"

Nan Ling's hand rested on the doorknob, his back was facing everyone, his back was bent and old, his shoulders trembled slightly, and the long silence made everyone aware of the ending.

Before he could speak, his voice was choked up: "Not long..."

When he was in the human world, he was seriously injured by Sitong's curse. Jiuchongtian exhausted all his strength to fight against the emperor of heaven. He broke apart, broke his soul, and touched the root. Although he stopped halfway, the gap in his soul could not be restored. , what's more, in order to give birth to Xu Nian, the painstaking effort spent in these 130 years is far beyond ordinary and imaginable.

Even without Sitong's final blow, his time is numbered.

Northwest couldn't help crying anymore, but Fan Ye covered his mouth and couldn't make a sound, so he could only stare into his eyes and weep.Lou Liuyi was holding Lou Henai's hand tremblingly, "Xianjun, there is really no other way?"

"But as long as there is still a way... I am always willing to try for him..."

No matter how many elixirs can be refined, no matter how difficult medicinal materials can be found, how do you go against the sky?Before he came, he met Tian Chen who was waiting outside the Tianmen. The other party didn't say a word, and even his expression didn't change at all. He just shook his head lightly at him, and he knew that things were irreversible, but he didn't want to believe it no matter what. , You have to see it before you can really give up.

There is really no other way, everyone can feel Ying Zhou's weakness.

Waking up after three days of coma, sitting on the bed, the body under the underwear is so thin that it can be broken easily.

Whether it is a demon or a fairy, it is described as a gift from heaven, and it will not change from life to death, but he has already lost weight at an obvious speed. The so-called exhaustion of oil is nothing more than that.

Northwest lay on the bedside and wept uncontrollably. He wiped the tears off the other person's face, "There's no need to cry, sooner or later there will be a day."

Calm to the point of absurdity, he clearly knew it would become like this, and was not afraid.

On the day when Nian Nian began to shed her skin, Ao Yuan stepped into his room for the first time.

"Want to see him? I can take you into the mirage." The second half of the sentence that was not said was that Xu Nian woke up every day crying to find you.

Ying Zhou sat on the bed, turned his face slightly, half of his face was hidden in the shadow cast by the bed curtain, he seemed to understand everything just by looking at Ao Yuan, he lowered his gaze, and refused: "No, he will have to adapt sooner or later." without me."

Ao Yuan couldn't tell whether these words were his gentleness or cruelty.

To Xu Nian, it may be gentle, but to him, and others, it is undoubtedly a kind of cruelty.

Obviously, he already knew that this would happen, and even waited for this day to come. From the day Xu Boyuan died, Ying Zhou no longer left a retreat for himself.They could only watch Ying Zhou die like this, but Ying Zhou's calmness seemed to have stabbed a knife in everyone's heart. They were powerless, unable to stop, and had no choice but to suffer.

"Why do you want to be an enemy of the fairy world?" Knowing the answer now seems meaningless, but he still wants to know, "Why did you sign a life-and-death contract with me?"

He also hesitated for a very short moment, maybe it was to prevent him from drawing the keel, maybe Ying Zhou didn't want him to die.But it was only for a moment, the next moment when he woke up, he would no longer be able to deceive himself and others. If half of it was for himself, Ying Zhou would not look at him with such indifference.

There was a moment of silence in the house.

After a while, Ying Zhou said: "The life-and-death contract will disappear after I die, so do whatever you want."

So it's really not for him.

Obviously he knew the answer, but when he really heard Ying Zhou say it, he couldn't help but feel that there was no reason to be unwilling.

"For Xu Nian?" Ao Yuan asked.

Ying Zhou slowly raised his head to look at him, Ao Yuan was standing in the blue water, only a few steps away from him.

Ao Yuan said: "Because he is a dragon, he is my... offspring, if I die, he will be the next Dragon King. You summoned all these monsters to fight against the fairy world and force me to live, so that he will die when you die." In the future, I will not be restricted by the fairy world like me."

He paused, and asked the question that everyone wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask: "You already knew you were going to die, didn't you?"

Ying Zhou watched him quietly for a while.

He turned his eyes away and responded lightly: "Yes."

Ao Yuan relaxed his palms.

Not for Xu Boyuan, but for Xu Nian.

The answer relieved him a little.

But after a while, he felt a little ridiculously relaxed.

Even though Ying Zhou didn't do everything to avenge Xu Boyuan, but he wanted to break his soul for Xu Boyuan, and even Xu Nian couldn't let him stay for it.

If it wasn't for the extreme love, how could there be such a decision.

He actually started to envy Xu Boyuan.

Jealous of Xu Boyuan, who met Ying Zhou in life and had to accompany Ying Zhou in death, but his other three souls and six souls were blocked from them, unable to move forward even a single step.

He pushed out the door.

"Back then, the tiger came to the Dragon Palace to borrow the nine-pearl mirror," Zhang Ba sighed outside the door, "I was worried about the soul of the Dragon Lord in the world, so I took the initiative to borrow it, but I didn't expect that in the end... alas, the world is impermanent. "

It's not that the world is impermanent, it should be said that fate is tricking people.

When he separated Xu Boyuan's soul, he would not have thought that so many things would happen later, if he had known earlier...he would not have only one soul.

But everything is not known.

On the second day after Xu Nian shed his skin, Ao Yuan brought him out of the mirage.

He seems to have grown up a bit, from a young boy of three or four years old to a boy of ten years old, when he saw Ying Zhou, he stopped yelling "Daddy Daddy" and just obediently walked out of Ao Yuan's arms. He got down, walked to Ying Zhou's side, and silently held Ying Zhou's cold hand under his sleeve.

"Twelve branches shed their skin once every ten years, and three moltings are adults. At the age of 240..." Ao Yuan paused. After more than 100 years, Ying Zhou is probably already...

Ying Zhou didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and didn't seem to notice his pause, so he said calmly, "Thank you."

Lou Liuyi and the others had been waiting for a long time, and the group left the Dragon Palace and returned to the mountain.

The monster in the mountain didn't know what happened yet, Jing Jinghou was on the ten thousand steps in Buzhou, Ying Zhou led Xu Nian past them and walked towards the back mountain.

Northwest wanted to follow, but was stopped by Lou Liuyi, "Don't go, let them talk alone."

Northwest suddenly realized what he was going to say. He had cried too much in the past few days, and the tears could no longer flow, so he nodded with red eyes.

Xu Nianjing followed Ying Zhou to the edge of the frozen lake, but Ying Zhou didn't speak, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

The lake was still very blue, no longer frozen, and the frost pine on the other side was reflected on the water surface. The two stood for a while, and said in reply, "I have a few things to tell you."

Xu Nian bit his lip until he turned white, he vaguely knew what Ying Zhou was going to say.

Ying Zhou let go of his hand, half-kneeled in front of him, met his eyes, and said calmly: "If you don't have Fan Ye, you can't be born. When you become an adult, you will fold a corner of yourself and give it to Fan Ye to help him become a dragon."

Xu Nian nodded obediently: "Nian Nian understands."

Ying Zhou put his hand on his head, very gentle, "Second thing, since you are a dragon, you can rely on Ao Yuan, and if you need something in the future, you can go to him, but he is not your father, you have to remember .”

After all, it grew up overnight, and the nostalgia for Zhou was still engraved in his bones, Xu Nian burst into tears, "I know, I know, Nian Nian's surname is Xu, and his father's surname is also Xu."

"Yeah." Ying Zhou smiled and wiped away his tears with his fingertips, "Jiuwei will take care of you, but she will also take care of Lou Henai, don't rely on her too much. Northwest, Yunxi, and Fushuang will be with you Be close to them, treat them better. And Xiaobai..." Ying Zhou sighed slightly, "You haven't seen it before. When I first came to my side, I was younger than you, and now I have grown into the king of the party. I don't blame it anymore. He, if he wants to come back, come back."

"Mmmmmmmm!" Xu Nian cried harder, but nodded vigorously, "Niannian will remember, will remember..."

"Don't cry," Ying Zhou said with a slight smile, "Although you are a dragon, you don't have to be controlled by the sky. You can go to the world and do what your father didn't finish."

"Okay...Niannian will do it, is there anything else? Niannian will do well."

"Yes, there is one more thing." Ying Zhou leaned over and pressed against his forehead, closed his eyes, the smile on the corners of his mouth did not disappear, it was the warmth and calm that Xu Nian had never seen before, "Your Aunt Luan did not seal your father's tomb, When I die, bury me there together."

Although the emperor didn't finish speaking, he could understand Xu Jingluan's intention.

Death cannot be at the same time, at least they must be buried in one place, and it can be regarded as living and dying together.

He has made Xu Boyuan wait for too long, and he has finished what he should do now, so he has no regrets going to accompany him, the only Xu Nian who can't rest assured, with so many people by his side, can always grow up safely.
