fox master

Zi Qiyuan knew what Zhan Yixuan was going to do, so he didn't move, neither did Jimo Tu and Shui Xiao. Seeing that these people didn't leave, Gui Nian paused slightly, but didn't turn around either.

Zhan Yize glanced at them amusedly, "Why don't you leave?"

Zi Qiyuan said softly: "My lord, I don't want to miss seeing you for the last time."

Zhan Yixuan didn't intend to say goodbye when he left this time. After all, it wasn't a very honorable decision, so he wanted to leave quietly. Zi Qiyuan saw his intention and couldn't bear such a situation.

The master was about to die, but he couldn't even see him for the last time, and he wasn't even allowed to say goodbye. This was too cruel.

Gui Nian turned his head, glanced at Zi Qiyuan, then turned back, looking straight at Zhan Yize, with doubts and a little unconscious fear in his eyes.

Zhan Yize sighed, "I thought you guys knew what to do next."

Zi Qiyuan showed an extremely ugly smile, "Your Majesty overestimated me, and following your reincarnation is to put the reincarnation of life behind you. If you lose you again, what's the point of living?"

Zhan Yize's eyebrows were tinged with anger, "Don't you know that you want to protect the fox clan for me?"

Zi Qiyuan didn't get up after knelt down. At this time, he slightly raised his head, looked at Zhan Yixuan with a docile expression, and asked something that seemed to have nothing to do with the above, "Your Majesty wants to terminate the contract, right?"

If the master dies, the subordinate contract will also obliterate the follower's life, unless the master actively changes the contract to protect each other.So there is a contract, they must fight with you to choose to live and die together.

But Zhan Yize was worried about the fox clan and would not let them die with him, so Zi Qiyuan judged that he would definitely terminate the contract.

Looking at Zi Qiyuan's pale face, Zhan Yize seemed to understand something, and sighed, "Yes."

"Your Majesty, this subordinate knows that we must guard the Fox Clan well, but in one day, the contract is terminated and you leave too. This is really too unbearable..."

"That has to be endured!" Zhan Yize shouted suddenly, interrupting Zi Qiyuan's words.

There are many differences in this world, and there are many regrets. After things happen, you will find that there is nothing you can't bear.

Zhan Yize grabbed Zi Qiyuan by the collar and forced him to look up, "If you can't bear it, die? Let my heart be in vain, let me not even feel at ease in death, otherwise what do you want? Farewell? Comfort ? Do you want me to give you these! But what's the difference? What's the difference between giving and not giving! Is there anything you don't know or understand?"

No amount of farewell is powerless and ridiculous in the face of life and death. If you are destined to leave at the next moment and never come back, then any kind of comfort will be pale, and even add grief.

Zhan Yize is not indifferent, he is also very hard.

Zi Qiyuan was stunned, "I'm sorry, master, it's because this subordinate is too affectionate and reluctant to leave you at the last moment, and this subordinate is too weak to cause you trouble for nothing. This subordinate knows his mistake, please return your favor." Calm down." He admitted his mistake softly.

Seeing his docile and flattering expression, Zhan Yize lets go, why did he become like this?Bitterness was tinged in his heart, some feelings couldn't bear to be touched, otherwise it was so heavy that he couldn't breathe, how could he continue walking.

"My lord, this subordinate doesn't understand." Gui Nian said.

Zhan Yize turned his head to look at him, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, he really felt a little bit ashamed in his heart, if he left, Gui Nian would be the only one who didn't know anything.

He looked at the people in the hall, and was silent for a long time, "Well, you have the right to know everything, and you have the right to see me for the last time."——It's just that I don't know what to say, Zhan Yize seems to be divided into two people, A gentle explanation, one staring blankly at himself in the distance.

He held the judgment and handed it to Zhan Jiuxian, Zhan Jiuxian respectfully took the knife, looked at Zhan Yize, and waited for his order.

"The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan is a cursed race, doomed not to exist in the world, I decided to use my life to suppress this curse and give the Fox Clan a chance to survive.

It has to be my life, it has to be this knife named 'judgment', it has to be done by the Immortal of War Jiu, this is the chance of life after a thousand years. "

War Jiuxian and Gui Nian were stunned at the same time, as if they couldn't believe what they heard.

"After I die, the Fox Clan cannot leave Qingqiu, but Qingqiu will also become a natural barrier to protect the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan because of my death, just like the phoenix clan's phoenix forest.

You develop the Fox Clan well according to my will. I believe that even if you don’t leave Qingqiu, the Fox Clan will be able to prosper after thousands of years. " Zhan Yixuan explained in a gentle tone.

"Your Majesty!" Immortal War Jiu knelt down with a "bang".

Zhan Yize stepped forward to pull him up, grabbed his wrist, and pressed the tip of the knife to his chest, "Now, do it."

"Qiang" - the knife fell to the ground, War Jiuxian trembled all over, his face was pale, his expression was an indescribable collapse and helplessness, his lips opened and closed, unable to utter a single syllable.

Zhan Yize was silent, he knelt down and picked up the knife, glanced at Ghost Nian who was also pale and unconsciously trembling slightly, sighed slightly, and turned his gaze back to the knife, his slender fingers gently stroked the blade, his expression Gentle and quiet, as if talking to himself, "You must stay, but now it's ugly."

"I really have no face at all." Zhan Yize sighed again, he has sighed too many times today.

"Your Majesty" everyone knelt down this time, and there was no one standing in the hall except Zhan Yichou.

Zhan Yize ignored them, walked to the throne and sat down, then said in a deep voice, "Zhan Jiuxian, do you want to disobey?"

War Jiuxian tightly clenched his fists, his thoughts were in a mess, "My lord, I dare not, but I can't..."

Seeing the confusion in Zhan Jiuxian's expression, Zhan Yize interrupted him, "I will die sooner or later, but as long as I die for the fox clan, it is worth it, this is the purpose of my reincarnation, don't forget. "

"War Jiuxian, you shouldn't be a weak demon, and I have already made a will based on my death, plus the special effect of 'judgment', which has been integrated into the rules of this world. If you can't do it, the rules won't work. , I will face backlash if I forcibly change it."

"It's a death anyway, do you really want me to have regrets?"

Zhan Yize looked straight at Zhan Jiuxian with a very stern tone.

It was as if a mountain was pressing down heavily, trying to squeeze the bones and flesh of his whole body until they were distorted and shattered, and then thick black blood flowed out... Zhan Yixuan's words echoed in Zhanjiuxian's ears like a spell, making him He had the illusion of suffocation.

This glimmer of life was bought by too many people at too much price, there is no reason to miss it because of him.

He knew what was the right thing to do, but he resisted in his heart, so resisted that he couldn't pick up the knife.Scenes of the past flashed before his eyes. He had met Zhan Yize since he was a teenager.

Equally important as the fox family but fundamentally different, he chooses to fight, and also contains the tenderest and most firm admiration in a young man's heart. He is not tolerant enough, so he dares to express it; he is not greedy enough, so he just gives in the most mature way , Meticulously fulfilling Zhan Yize's orders, guarding Qingqiu and guarding him, Zhan Jiuxian feels that he is lucky to be born into the fox clan, so he has always been very satisfied.

But this satisfaction was personally broken by Zhan Yixuan today.

Zhan Yize told him that he had to kill him in order to protect the Fox Clan. For Zhan Jiuxian, he felt helpless like the sky had fallen.

Cold sweat fell drop by drop to the ground, "Your Majesty, forgive me, I know that the fox family is the most important thing, but I can't do the act of killing the master." Zhan Jiuxian said with difficulty.

"If you can't do it, you're really betraying." Zhan Yizao said coldly.

"I'll give you one day. After one day, go to the Fox Hall to find me." He paused, but he didn't keep pushing him.

"Zhan Jiuxian, I trust you and bet all my hopes on you, don't let me lose." Zhan Yize sighed.He got up, walked through the kneeling crowd, and walked step by step to the gate of the Fox Hall, "And you, don't come the day after tomorrow. This is a struggle for survival and prosperity. The entire Jiuling Continent is a battlefield. Every day A fighter is a fighter, and a fighter must have the awareness of death, so there is no need to say goodbye, just do what you have to do, and remember your oath." Remember my wish.

"Squeak—" the door was pushed open, and Zhan Yize left the hall after saying these words, leaving the room in a daze.

……

Jinghong Mansion, the residence of the War Jiu Immortal.

In front of the door, Ghost Nian was dressed in black, with dark blue running water patterns embroidered on the cuffs and neckline, and a blue-gold belt with complicated stripes around his waist. This was considered a court dress, so it had some decorations and the unique mountain-shaped pattern of Qingqiu. However, the details are still designed according to the habits of the ghost year - the tight narrow sleeves and the way of wearing the belt are different from most court clothes, but it makes him look slender and tall.

To say that most of his private servers are unadorned black clothes, but in Qingqiu, he still has to abide by Qingqiu etiquette.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door, and there were two "dong dong" sounds, but no one answered, and Gui Nian didn't knock again, but waited quietly, and after a while, there was a slow response from inside, " I don't see you." His voice was low and hoarse.

"It's me" Gui Nian said, his voice was neither eager nor cold, it just gave off a flat and calm feeling.

There was no answer inside, and in the silence, the door opened.

Ghost Nian opened the door and entered, walked through the courtyard, and saw the War Jiuxian sitting on the seat in the main house.

He was not sitting in the main seat, but a chair in the corner on the side. He was paralyzed in the chair, motionless, as if he was so tired that he had no energy left. There was no brilliance in his bright eyes, and the darkness was shocking.

Gui Nian paused for a while, then walked to the chair at the same table and sat down, with a somewhat familiar feeling in his movements.

"What are you going to do?" he asked.

War Jiuxian didn't answer, he just sat there silently, like a sculpture.

Gui Nian's expression froze, "Have you thought about it?" One night has passed, and tomorrow is the time for Zhanjiu Immortal to meet His Majesty, hasn't he figured out what to do?

War Jiuxian took a short breath, like a sob, or an unconscious convulsion, his eyes trembled violently, as if they would break at any moment, "If it was you...what would you do?" He asked hoarsely , the voice was very small, but Gui Nian could still hear it clearly.

After what happened yesterday, Gui Nian asked everything clearly, and after sorting out all the information himself, he couldn't help but think about this question.

"Pick up that knife." Gui Nian replied.

"Can you afford it?"

"If you can't afford it, you can afford it."

"How can you afford it if you can't afford it?"

"That is His Majesty's will." Gui Nian said in a deep voice.

"Ghost Year, you are lying!" Immortal War Jiu stood up suddenly, shouted with red eyes.

"You feel that His Majesty's will is greater than your own, that's because this order was not given to you! If it weren't for me, if it was just imagination, I would also feel that I can do it, and I would also feel that I can sacrifice everything to come Fulfill Your Majesty's wish! Even if it means destroying yourself!"

War Jiuxian became more and more excited as he spoke, and even grabbed Gui Nian by the neckline, so hard that his knuckles turned white.

"But when I hold the knife, when the knife is pressed against the chest of the lord, and I feel the breath of the lord, the body temperature of the lord, and the eyes of the lord, I know that I can't do it!

You will clearly know that as long as the knife is stabbed down, the person in front of you will stop breathing, and your brain will go blank at that time, you will not remember the fox family, you will not remember that this is his order, you will only You know, you can't let him die, you can't make him a cold corpse. "

Tears flowed down his face, his eyes were red and swollen, and his trembling teeth were chattering, "Ghost year! You can't do it! You don't understand—but I know you can't do it!"

Gui Nian's expression froze, he let Zhan Jiuxian grab him, and stared at him blankly as if he didn't realize what he said.In his mind, it turned out to be the image of His Majesty putting the ghost seal in his palm with his eyebrows curved, such a distance, such a breath...

Gui Nian's eyes became moist a little bit, he turned his head and said softly, "Sorry"

Zhan Jiuxian and Gui Nian have been friends for hundreds of years, so Gui Nian will come at this time, so Zhan Jiuxian can say such words, they are similar in nature, so they can understand what the other party wants to express.

Many things cannot withstand assumptions. If you didn't pick up the knife, and didn't really stand in front of Zhan Yize, you wouldn't know if you still had the strength to push the knife into that person's chest.

Only then did Gui Nian realize that this was not a matter of saying a word, but that he had to do it himself, holding a knife at Zhan Yixuan's heart. It was a healthy and young heart, just like the gentle brow and eyes in front of him, as if to accommodate Judging, judging, how to judge?

Inside the mansion, Immortal War Jiu knelt on the ground, weeping uncontrollably.
