In the blink of an eye, it is late autumn, and the maple leaves in the maple lawn are red and bright.

A beautiful figure dressed in a robe as red as a cloud stood under the maple tree, looking up at the maple leaves that were slowly falling in the gap of time. The woman's raised side face was as cold as frost, but her eyes were stupid when she looked at the maple leaves in the air.

Zhong Ting walked into the maple forest, he didn't go to Mei Huai, but only stood a dozen steps away from her and watched her quietly, until Mei Huai lowered her head and turned to him, he walked towards her.

Mei Huai waited until Zhong Ting approached, and stared at the red leaves piled up on the ground for a while before saying to him, "Zhong Ting, it's already late autumn." ”

Zhong Ting looked at her side face, which was very beautiful at all times, and replied softly, "Yes, it's late autumn." ”

Mei Huai raised his head sharply and asked him aggressively: "It's been almost thirty years, why hasn't he come back yet?"

The disappointment and unwillingness on the woman's face pierced Zhong Ting's eyes like needles. The only thing she'd done for decades was to wait for his brother to come back. At this moment, he could only swallow the bitterness in his throat to comfort her.

"The breath that the High Priest managed to collect with great difficulty last time was stolen by Zhi Ge, and those breaths must have been refined by her with the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Bottle, and now no matter how hard we try to collect it, the imperial brother will have to wait another few decades before he can gather his qi and be reborn. ”

"What a waste!" Mei Huai said angrily. When Zhong Ting heard this, he just bowed his head and remained silent.

"Wait a few more decades, Zhi Ge will cultivate into a god body, and then she will marry the prince of the god realm, and with the heavenly realm to rely on, how can the demon clan take the demon clan under her command? What about your imperial brother's wishes?" Mei Huai clenched her fists, her eyes were deeply unwilling.

Hearing her say this again, Zhong Ting couldn't help but persuade: "Mei Huai, I know you like my imperial brother, but the imperial brother is bloodthirsty and warlike by nature, and he is ambitious, it is his wish to co-opt the demon clan and dominate the Six Realms, not yours, you don't need to take his wish as your own!"

"Shut up!" Mei Huai's face was stubborn and firm, and he didn't listen to Zhongting's advice at all. "From the day I fell in love with him, he told me what he wanted, and I swore that I would help him do it even if I was devastated!"

After speaking, she looked at Zhong Ting again and said coldly: "What you have to do is to gather his aura as soon as possible, so that we can meet as soon as possible." ”

"Also, the Sky Breaking Axe! Only by getting the Sky Breaking Axe can he truly dominate the Six Realms!"

Zhong Ting couldn't bear to look at the fanaticism in her eyes anymore, only shook his head lightly and sighed, "Since you insist on this, I can only accompany you to go crazy!"

The desire and fanaticism in Mei Huai's eyes were extinguished by Zhong Ting's words, and she said to him in a slightly stiff tone: "You don't have to be like this. I know that you are gentle and kind by nature, and what you and your imperial brother and I are going to do is to risk the condemnation of the world, these things are full of ambition and killing, and they are not suitable for you at all!"

"It's not for me, isn't it for you? Then, you can leave me alone, and take it as my congratulatory gift for the royal brother and your future. Zhong Ting smiled wryly at Mei Huai. She could wait for the imperial brother for decades, but he didn't even have the qualifications to wait for her.

Mei Huai took a deep look at the person who had been with her since Bo Wu Yi was gone. Before, she knew his thoughts, but she had never looked at him squarely.

"Then, I'll thank you for your imperial brother!" Mei Huai finished speaking, and then turned his head to look at the fallen leaves.

Zhong Ting didn't speak anymore, but quietly accompanied her to admire the fiery red maple leaves all over the mountain. Such a bright and intense color like fire, just like her character.

In the hall of the underworld, the gods crouched at the table as usual and corrected the official documents, and the old judge was on the side, sorting out the official documents that had been corrected, while waiting for the Hades King to summon at any time.

After approving one volume, the Hades King picked up another volume of official documents and spread it out, looked at it intently, and asked the judge on the side: "Has the son of the Gu family at the foot of this floating mountain not married yet? Why is there no name of his wife in their family's life and death book?"

The judge bowed forward and looked at the book of life and death, and said strangely: "Yes, even the name of the old servant is there, but his wife's name is missing." ”

Hades thought about it and didn't pay much attention to it. He picked up the brush and said casually: "Although he is not married, this Gu Liangyou's yang life is quite long, I don't know how he will live alone in the future." After speaking, the brush fell on the names of Gu Liangyou's parents and drew two red marks.

After approving a stack of official documents, Shen Tu took a pen and waited for the judge to offer another stack, but saw the judge smile and said to him: "Lord Hades, today's official documents have been approved, you can rest earlier." ”

"Oh, there's been a lot less official correspondence lately. Shen Tu put down his pen, and there was a rare lightness in his tone.

The judge replied with a smile: "Yes, this demon prince has escaped for thirty years, and the demon clan has ceased war for thirty years, and the Six Realms have been in peace a lot recently, so the work of the underworld has also been lightened a lot." ”

Shen Tu stood up and stretched. Recently, there have been a lot fewer official documents, and he actually hopes that the demon Bo Wu can gather his strength and be reborn later.

"Judge, you have been very tired from accompanying this king to approve official documents, and you are old, so take advantage of the recent lack of official documents to rest for a few days. "The judge is an old man who has assisted several Hades kings in a row, and the gods have always respected him.

When the judge heard that the Hades had given him a vacation, he was also very happy, so he opened his mouth to thank the Hades King: "The old minister has thanked the Hades King. A few years ago, Tang Huatuo sent a letter, saying that he had entered the fairy world, and the old minister had not been able to go to thank the great immortal of Xunchi for his teaching, and now he could take advantage of these days to go to Qingyao Mountain. ”

I haven't heard from Tang Hua for a long time, but I didn't expect that he had been separated from her for ten years. Shen Tu stared at the candle flame jumping in the distance for a moment before he said to the judge who was waiting quietly, "Well, go ahead." ”

The old judge, who had assisted several Hades kings, had always been accustomed to observing words and feelings, but at this moment he raised his eyes and looked at the look of Hades, and immediately regretted what he had just said.

After the judge left, the Yama Hall lit by candles was left alone.

He stared at the place next to his seat, where there should have been another person, but it had been empty for ten years.

Time seems to have frozen.

After some time, he gently raised his right hand, as if to caress a person's face, but in the end, the hand still hung weakly.

Yellow sand into a spring, this is the yellow spring.

At the end of the yellow spring covered with yellow sand, inside the gate supported by two doorposts, on the high platform, "Ghost Life" lies quietly.

A few days ago, the judge came back from visiting Tang Hua in Qingyao Mountain, but he still couldn't hold back after all, and opened his mouth to ask about her current situation.

"Lord Hades doesn't need to worry about Tang Hua. Lao Chen's granddaughter has been a heartless since she was a child, and now she has entered one of the three masters of the fairy world, and she has learned swordsmanship from her senior brother every day. ”

It seems that even without him, she can still live well.

Wasn't that what he wanted, otherwise he wouldn't have ordered the judge to tell her about the Hades contract in Ghost Destiny.

It's just that the place in his chest hurts again as before, and it hurts more and more, and it hurts so much that he almost cried.

Shen Tu opened "Ghost Life" and found the last page where he wrote, on which was the oath he had written with his own heart's blood.

When he first made the oath, he was still young, and after listening to the former Hades king tell him about the oath, he was a little afraid of the punishment of breaking the oath to destroy the heavens and the earth, and destroy the body and spirit, so he mustered up the courage to ask the Hades if there was a way to crack it, and the previous Hades' answer is still haunting in his ears today, deafening.

"My limit is approaching, you have been learning to deal with the affairs of the ghost world by my side since you were a child, and you naturally understand the weight of the Hades King's duties. I have passed on the throne of the Hades to you because I firmly believe that you are worthy of the important task of maintaining the order of the Four Realms, and today you ask about this method of breaking the oath, are you worried that you will break the oath in the future? If so, you will not be able to bear my deathbed entrustment, nor will you be the only one in these six realms who needs to be ruthless and ruthless. ”

The former Hades had nurturing and teaching him, and when the gods saw that his question had provoked him, they quickly confessed their mistakes to him, and swore that they would be the king of the ghost world and never break their oath.

After the former Hades King watched him write the Hades contract on "Ghost Destiny" with his heart and blood, he sighed, stroked his shoulders and said seriously: "Shendi, I know that you are a person who is affectionate and affectionate. But this "Ghost Fate" is the fate of the Hades King of our ghost world, and it is also the fate set in the heavens and the earth, although you and I are the Hades, but they are just a drop in the ocean between heaven and earth, and we cannot violate the fate arrangement. Unless...... Unless someone who can change the world is born, and the magic weapon that can change the world is broken, you can be free from the shackles of the Hades contract. But how can there be such a person in this world!"

Is it a different world?

Shen Tu shed tears of sadness, he felt that he could not wait for such a person to be born.

He and Tang Hua are destined to have no fate.
