readx;?winged serpent smirked intricately. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "I was ordered to protect the Southern Barrier a long time ago. Although the next person I will be guarding is you......"

"You don't have to, if you don't want to, you can go where you want." Zhuge Xun said.

"Thank you. You look like him. The winged serpent's hand gently touched Zhuge Xun's face, touching his injured eye. I can give you my eyes. ”

"Stop!" Zhuge Kaoru grabbed the hand of the winged serpent and stopped her from trying to give her eyes. "I don't. You have to take care of yourself, and I don't think our ancestors wanted to see you like that. ”

"The ceremony is over, you don't have to stay in this kind of place, go back to where you came from." The winged serpent withdrew its hand.

"You go out with me, go where you want to go when you go out, and I can help you." Zhuge Xun asked the winged snake again.

"I'm going to stay here, that's my job. And I don't have anywhere to go back. You don't have to worry about me, I'll just practice here, this is the center of the barrier, it's a good place for me, and metasequoia is growing again on the ground, so I'm fine. You can't use any spells in this tomb, so if you want to go out, you still have to go outside the tomb first, and the big hall in front of you only needs to step on the stone pillar and go straight forward. ”

Zhuge Xun saw that the winged snake had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything anymore.

"Is there anything else I can do to help you?" Zhuge Xun asked.

"Then you can help me cover the coffin. Although he is gone, he used to be here. The winged serpent lay in the central crystal coffin where the man had been lying.

"Okay." Zhuge Xun slowly closed the lid of the coffin, together with the other eight crystal coffins, at the end of the coffin, Zhuge Xun said to the winged snake lying in the coffin with its eyes closed: "Thank you." ”

"Zhuge Xun, when you come back, seal the outermost door." Red Moon's voice came.

"Got it." Zhuge Xun returned to the front hall, the stone carvings of the god on the wall were gone, according to the words of the winged snake, Zhuge Xun stepped on the stone pillar erected in the abyss through the main hall to the first stone door. Zhuge Xun put his hand on the stone door, chanted the spell, and the stone door turned into a liquid door, passing through the door, and the person was already outside the door. took out the rune paper he carried with him, recited a spell in his mouth, and golden runes appeared on the rune paper, pasted the rune paper on the door that turned back into the stone gate, and opened the door of time casually, Zhuge Xun left the tomb of Zhuge Kongming.

Red Moon Pavilion Main Building:

"You're back." Red Moon was still sitting on the couch.

"Hmm. You know I'm going to be so embarrassed, that's why you don't want me to go, thinking I'm not qualified? With messy long hair and dried blood at the corners of his eyes, Zhuge Xun staggered out of the gate of time.

"I don't think you're qualified, it's not your ability, it's your heart. Your heart is too easily shaken. Hongyue raised her eyes and looked directly at Zhuge Xun.

Zhuge Xun tied his hair behind his head, unabashedly releasing his spiritual power, his current state is the strongest, what will happen if he faces the red moon?

Red Moon raised her eyes and looked at Zhuge Xun, who was hostile to her. "Are you sure?"

Without waiting for the red moon to finish speaking, Zhuge Xun's spiritual power was fully opened, and he attacked the red moon with all his murderous strength.

The red moon didn't even move, and in the blink of an eye, it dissolved the spiritual wave attacked by Zhuge Xun. "You're serious."

I really attacked the Red Moon with the intention of killing the Red Moon just now, but she was dissolved in the blink of an eye, and the Red Moon is very strong! "I'm sorry."

"There will be no next time. Go back to the house and get some rest. "Red Moon refers to Zhuge Xun's eyes.

"Can I ask you a few questions?" In fact, Zhuge Xun has a lot of questions to ask.

“……”

Seeing that Hongyue didn't speak, and didn't mean to rush herself, Zhuge Xun said: "Now the tomb of the ancestors doesn't need to be guarded by anyone?" ”

"Yes."

"The Dragon Family's mission is over?"

"Yes."

"The Southern Barrier is on me? What exactly is the Southern Barrier? Is it just a burst? ”

"All living beings on Earth are protected by the four enchantments, protecting them from alien creatures to prevent them from finding Earth. The four enchantments are not on the ground, but outside the earth, and the form of existence is like a magnetic field, and all the extraterrestrial worlds that humans know today are all under the protection of the enchantment, and the places outside the enchantment cannot be discovered by humans for the time being, which is also for the good of this planet. You should know about the 'sage'. The four enchantments were originally set up by the sages to protect the civilization of the earth. ”

"What about the other people who protect the barrier?"

"......" Red Moon did not answer.

Zhuge Xun didn't hear Hongyue's answer, so he knew that Hongyue would not answer this question. "What should I do?"

"Keep yourself safe, the barrier is safe only if you're safe."

"Are you Red Moon?"

Red Moon glanced at Zhuge Xun. "I'm the third owner of the Red Moon Pavilion, Red Moon."

"Those candles on the third floor?"

"Don't you all already know that it represents the lifespan of each of you?"

"Each of us? Doesn't include you? ”

“……”

"Is Ling the only one among us who is an ordinary person? Kate is a vampire, I'm an onmyoji, and Ling should be an ordinary person, right? "Zhuge Xun thought about the last time he saw Ling, and found that he seemed to have become much older.

"Ling's body is overworked. If he hadn't lived in the main building, he wouldn't have survived that long. And now there is only 'medicine' repairing his body. ”

"Sure enough, is the medicine the coffee he usually hates?"

"It's just like coffee."

"Does he know it himself?"

"Yes."

"What about the vampire?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"No one can force Ling to do what he doesn't want to do."

"One last question. Is the sage a 'god'? ”

“…… There is no God in this world. It is people's beliefs that support the world in which they live. Whether it is a sage, a god, a demon, or a demon, they are all just bystanders. One thought of man leads to ten thousand thoughts, and all thoughts are different, so man is the god of man. ”

"Thank you for being willing to tell me so much, I'm going back to rest." Zhuge Xun got up and said goodbye and went back upstairs.

"Take this up and light it." Red Moon handed Zhuge Xun a branch.

Zhuge Xun put away the branches and went back to his room upstairs, he should have a good rest, and he still needs to get used to the spiritual power he just gets.

When Hongyue was the only one left on the first floor, Hongyue said thoughtfully, "It's time for you to be relieved." ”

Hongyue changed into a blue Chinese-style Hanfu, put down the hair that was usually tied on her head, and held up a red paper umbrella and walked into her own gate of time.

Next to the coffin of Zhuge Kongming's tomb, Hongyue put away the red paper umbrella and looked at the winged snake lying quietly in the crystal coffin. With a gentle wave of his hand, the lid of the crystal coffin slowly opened.

"Winged Serpent, wake up."

Hearing someone calling to itself, the winged serpent slowly opened its golden eyes. When he saw the person who called him, he was surprised and shouted, "Miss Red Moon!" Why are you here? He hurriedly changed into a human form and knelt at the feet of the red moon. But as soon as he knelt down, he looked up at Hongyue with a puzzled expression. "Aren't you already ...... You're not Miss Red Moon...... Are you ...... Master?! The winged serpent's surprise was no less than knowing that the person who woke him up was the red moon.

"The Southern Enchantment has been transferred safely, even if you don't want to follow Zhuge Xun, then you are free, and you don't have to protect the Lord of the Southern Enchantment anymore." Red Moon said.

"The host...... I ......" The winged serpent didn't understand what the owner with the appearance of a red moon meant by this. At the birth of mankind, he was appointed by his master to always protect the safety of the lord of the southern enchantment, and now the master said that he didn't need to use himself, was he useless? And how did the master become like this?

"Feathered Serpent, you have done your best, you are free, and now Zhuge Xun is inheriting this responsibility, and your heart is no longer here, so I take back my order and set you free."

"Master, I, I'm sorry, I have selfish intentions, but I really have feelings for him, I know that even if the master lets me die, I have no complaints."

"I don't blame you."

"Master, are you here because of Miss Red Moon? Does anyone else know? "The winged snake is really worried about its owner. No one could do anything about that time, and everyone didn't want it to happen, let alone see the current master.

"You don't need to ask, my time is almost up, the appointed time. After you leave here, go to Ying'. It's a recognition of your work. ”

"Thank you, master." I didn't expect the master to let me go to Lord Ying'. I thought I would be in the crystal coffin for the rest of my life.

"Take this umbrella for you, it will take you to 'Ying', and 'Ying' will understand when she sees the umbrella." Red Moon handed the umbrella in her hand to the Winged Serpent.

"Master, I have a request, I hope the master will grant me." The winged serpent did not take the umbrella.

"Say it."

"I want to give my eyes to Zhuge Kaoru. No, it should be for that person, although I know he is gone, but I want to make some memories for him, for myself. I can't love him either during his life or after his death, but I don't want it to be like this. ”

"Do you know what you're talking about? Your spiritual power is all concentrated in the two eyes, if you separate one eye, you will not have the strength to support the 'Ying', but I am afraid that the current human body will not exist. ”

"I don't care. Even if I become a normal snake, I want to do it. Before Zhuge Xun left, I wanted to give it to him, but he didn't want it, just like 'he' rejected me. The winged serpent didn't know if he would be angry when he said that, but he really didn't want to leave like this. Before his death, when he took over as a family member and formally met, he knew that he was a concern that he couldn't let go of in his life, both of them knew each other's intentions, and no one said anything, because it was destined to be fruitless, watching him marry another woman, watching his child be born, watching him be sealed here, on the day he was sealed, he confessed to him, but he was unexpectedly rejected, and he cruelly let himself help him complete this ceremony, and watched him disappear with his own eyes.

Red Moon looked down at the winged serpent that was pleading with her. At the beginning, she let it, which had been with her, guard the southern barrier, because she knew her ability, and she really didn't let herself down, so she thought about letting her stay with 'Ying' in the future, but she didn't expect to avoid the word 'love' after all.

"Zhuge Xun won't want it."

"Then don't tell him."

"Are you serious?" Red Moon sighed.

"Ask the master to do it."

“…… Well, since you have made up your mind, I promise you, who called you has not let me down, I love you very much, before and now. ”

"Thank you. The winged serpent has always known the kindness of its owner. ”

Red Moon slashed her finger and squeezed out a bead of blood. "You drink this first, even if you don't have an eye, you can keep your body, and then it's up to you to see your own creation, which is my reward for you for so long."

"Nope! No! The winged serpent did not dare to take the blood of its master. The winged snake looked at the red moon in horror, how could the master's blood be drunk by himself!

"Then I won't help you." Red Moon smiled and put her hand to the mouth of the winged serpent.

"Master...... "The kindness of the master has long been known to him, and several other adults have also known it, so looking at the current master, it will be even more distressing.

"Take it, or you won't be able to get to Ying." Red Moon said.

"Yes," the winged serpent swallowed the blood of the red moon.

"I'm going to take your eyes, have you really decided?"

"Yes."

Red Moon placed her hand on the left eye of the winged serpent, and gently withdrew her hand, and a golden pupil floated in Red Moon's hand, and the left eye of the winged snake was closed forever.

"Thank you hosts. Please let Zhuge Xun accept it, although this eye can't help him anything, but it can give him light. I also sincerely look forward to the day when the host returns. The winged serpent bowed three times to the red moon.

"Go back, you can rest well."

"Goodbye, master." The winged serpent opened the red paper umbrella and disappeared into the tomb.

"Again...... See...... Is it? The red moon waved her hand and extinguished the night pearl on the top of the stone, and also disappeared into the tomb of Zhuge .

The main building of the Red Moon Pavilion.

Red Moon came to the door of Zhuge Xun's room and knocked lightly.

Zhuge Xun in the house heard someone knocking on the door, could it be that Ling came back? When he opened the door, he saw the red moon standing outside the door.

"Can I go in?" Red Moon asked.

"Yes...... Take, please. "Hongyue has never come to her room, and usually if she wants to find herself, she will wait for her to take the initiative to appear, is there something wrong with her?

"The winged serpent asked me to give you one of its eyes." Red Moon said.

"I can't ask for it, and you can't do that!" Zhuge Xun thinks that his eyes are not good enough, and he can't accept the winged snake, so what should it do!

"Take it, because it was its request, and it gave him this eye." Red Moon held her eyes in her hands.

"Isn't he gone? Is he still in my body? ”

"He's gone."

"What about the winged serpent, where did it go after giving me its eyes? Is it coming to you? Or did you go looking for it? Zhuge Xun found out what the problem was.

"It's back where it's supposed to be. You can use this eye as a 'signpost' for you to use as a warning in the future. ”

"I'll take it." Zhuge Xun understands the meaning of this.

"Then eat it."

Taking the eye of the winged snake from the hand of the red moon, Zhuge Xun swallowed it, and when he opened his eyes again, there was a golden snake eye in the empty eye socket. It turned out that the 'Demon Sealing Array' sealed in this eye was also lifted.

"The winged snake was originally in charge of the Zhuge family, no, it is all the non-human creatures in the dark world who obey the orders of the Southern Enchantment, so with this eye of his, you also have its power. Zhuge Xun, you have to use this eye as a 'signpost', don't lose yourself. After Hongyue finished speaking, she left Zhuge Xun's room.

And Zhuge Xun finally fainted on the bed with no energy, and the branches next to the bed were burning quietly. (To be continued.) )
