"My father wanted me to be like him, but he didn't expect that I wanted much more than he expected. ”

"Is King Ping'an's accusation true?" Xiao Li pursed her lips and finally asked.

"Naturally, it's fake, Xiao Li. Killing one's father and rebelling to join the ghost clan? It's ridiculous, I'm the same ghost in the Western Regions, and I have a blood feud with the heavens. Duo Yizhen sneered.

"That's someone framed you. Xiao Li said softly.

"That's why I'm here today. Duo Yizhen said, moving his gaze to his father's coffin, "Xiao Li, I only have you by my side now, can I trust you?"

"Do you want to believe me?" Xiao Li didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

Duo Yizhen smiled, and he didn't say anything more, but looked at the wall facing the coffin, with ancient drawings carved on the wall, and a few lines of text.

This is the ancient oath of the Western Regions Frontier Army in ancient times, and it is also the most recognized passage by Duo Yiba.

Duo Yizhen knelt down in front of his father's coffin and read this text in the ancient Western Regions.

"Holding the iron blade and wearing the iron clothes, at this moment I will no longer be a father, a brother, a son, I will always be the steel armor on the yellow sand, and the iron shield outside the white city, until the yellow sand becomes the Han Sea, the sea of fire becomes the river, until the old and new gods are destroyed, until the sweat and blood are dry, the bones are broken and the ashes are raised, and I will turn into a handful of loess, and I will also unite the sand and soil and keep this place forever. ”

"This is the ancient Western language?" Xiao Li understood.

"A long-lost language, only two people can understand it on this yellow sand. Duo Yizhen said.

The ancient Western Regions language that Duo Yiba knew was taught by Burning Death, and Xiao Li naturally would. And the ancient Western languages that Duo Yizhen knew were taught by his father.

As Duo Yizhen read these words, Duo Yiba's coffin slowly moved.

The empty floor of the burial chamber lit up with golden totems, which converged from the edge of the burial chamber to the center, and then a secret door appeared on the ground in the center.

The secret door was under the coffin.

"Is this, the secret whispering mechanism of the East China Sea?" Xiao Li sighed, "There is such a magical mechanism in this world, I have only seen it in my father's books." ”

"The Secret Whisper Mechanism is almost lost. "But 'almost' means that there are still people who can do this troublesome thing. Duo Yizhen said and took Xiao Li's hand, "Follow me." ”

Duo Yizhen took Xiao Li by the hand, and the two walked down the secret door together.

Beneath the secret door was a small room, and there was only one thing in it.

The huge thing was clinging to the wall, and from a distance it looked like a huge claw, deeply rooted in the wall.

Xiao Li and Duo Yizhen approached, and the huge thing that fell into dust let out a loud muffled roar.

It seemed to be alive, it seemed to have a heartbeat, it had a thought, it was so weird.

The air shook, it was a strong impact of spiritual power and non-spiritual power, Xiao Li, who had recovered her true body, had a strong sense of perception, she was shocked, and a fear from instinct swept over her body.

Duo Yizhen smiled, "Don't be afraid. ”

"This, what kind of evil thing is this?" asked Xiao Li softly.

【Western Regions/Castle/Once】

"Duo Yiba, you're here. "In the library of Geseburg, in front of the mountain of papers, stood an old man with gray hair, although the old man's hair was white, but there was no trace of old age in his face and expression. He stood there with his hands behind his back, looking at his son, who was as strong as a mountain.

"Father. Duo Yiba quickly knelt down and saluted, "What's the matter with the father calling the child?"

"Sit. Duo Kazuo frowned and pointed to a chair beside him.

Duo Yiba sat down with a grin.

Duo Kazuo looked at the armor stained with sand and blood stains on his body: "How is the battle going today?"

Duo Yiba shook his head, his face was solemn and iron-blue: "The ghost soldiers are not afraid of being fierce, but the bad is in those miscellaneous and various fucking tricks, those things are attached to my soldiers in the Western Regions, controlling my soldiers to kill each other, and the corpses are almost piled up several people high." ”

Duo Yixiong nodded, silent, and after a moment he whispered: "There is news from the Central Continent Divine Land, the Guiyi God Emperor has received an urgent report from his father, and he has sent General Wei Chi, and he will go to Geshibao tonight." ”

Duo Yiba looked at Duo Yixiong, who was frowning, and wondered why he sent reinforcements, but his father was not happy. But immediately he reacted: "There is only one general, General Wei Chi?"

Duo Yixiong nodded: "In the Canghuang Palace, it seems that there is no big mess in the Apocalypse, and the people in that place are far away from the ghost country, which is really dull. If you want to convince Emperor Cang that this time the disturbance of the ghost kingdom is not simple, it is estimated that you will have to wait for the eye of the storm to be dyed red. ”

The Eye of the Storm, a piece of sand that is very close to the Oni Country, is named after the Tempest. It is also the only way for the ghost kingdom to invade the apocalypse.

"Father, what are we going to do now? The warriors of the Western Regions are not afraid of death, but the son is afraid that they will die in vain and are not worth anything. ”

"Remember, no warrior's sacrifice is worthless. Also, I want you to protect one thing, for the rest of your life, and if necessary, with your life. Duo Kazuo looked at his son and whispered with a grim face.

The tall and strong Duo Yiba stood there, as if he was shocked by something. He looked at his father, and his gaze flashed for a moment.

Duo Yiba naturally immediately understood what his father was talking about.

He pursed his lips: "Father, Applejack's spiritual power and prestige are above mine, and I am far inferior to Ace in terms of calmness and prudence, why me?"

Duo Yiba's eyes sank, and instead of answering Duo Yiba's question, he said to his son: "Duo Yiba, I want you to swear and protect it with your life. ”

Duo Yiba looked at his father, and then, he simply knelt on the ground, pulled out the sword at his waist, and slashed on his left palm: "Duo Yiba of the Western Regions hereby swears to protect the family artifact seal artifact Nine Dragons Lock Array with his life, if he violates this oath, he will not be born as a member of the family clan, and he will not die for the soul of Shazu, and he will be spurned and expelled from the Western Regions forever." ”

As he swore an oath, he saw his old father wave his hand, and the mountain of books ignited in an instant, and the light of the fire illuminated his father's side face, as well as Duo Yiba's eyes and tense face.

Duo Kazuo slowly rubbed a black iron ring on his hand, the muscles on his face seemed to tremble, and at that moment, there seemed to be a trace of old age on his face, but maybe it was just an illusion.

He opened the curtain and glanced at the sky not far away, the sky above the eye of the storm. The sky was faintly black and purple, the color of the ghostly energy. He looked back at his son and said, "The ghost soldiers are getting closer and closer, you take your father's heavy armor, and your father wants to go forward with General Wei Chi in person." ”

Duo Yiba was silent for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, all the words turned into one word: "...... Be. ”

Although it was only for a moment, Duo Kazuo could see through his son's thoughts, and he asked, "The moment you picked up your sword when you were eight years old, do you remember what your father said to you?"

"Fear death, not fear. As a soldier, the weapon is an oath, and the hand holding the weapon must not hesitate to tremble. Duo Yiba said crisply.

"That's right. Duo Yixiong nodded, "Duo Yiba, don't be afraid of death, whether it's yours or your father's death. ”

[Western Regions/Eye of the Storm/Tomb of Duo Yiba/Present]

"It's not an evil thing, it's something my father has guarded all his life. Duo Yizhen said, kneeling down in front of the hideous claw.

He said aloud in the ancient Western Regions: "Duo Yizhen of the Western Regions swears here, and uses his life to protect the family treasure artifact Nine Dragons Lock Array, if he violates this oath, he will not be born as a member of the world, and he will not die for the soul of Shazu, and he will be spurned and expelled from the Western Regions forever." ”

After that, the hideous thing full of dust and dust flashed with golden light for a moment, and Xiao Li finally saw the deity of the thing clearly.

It wasn't a giant claw, it was a couple of twisted dragons.

Duo Yizhen raised his head and stretched out his hand forward, the golden dragon seemed to come to life, swimming down the wall and turning into golden light around Duo Yizhen's fingers, and when the golden light faded, the dragons turned into a simple black iron ring, and rested quietly on his hand.

"Is this the Nine Dragons Lock Array?" Xiao Li looked at the inconspicuous ring on his hand, unable to believe it, "What about the injuries on your body?"

"Uncle thought he had an artifact. A grim sneer flashed across Duo Yizhen's face, "If it's true, how can I escape so easily?"

"The family's artifact was not lost in the war with the ghost country at all, but was transferred by my grandfather to my father for protection. Duo Yizhen continued, "There is a reason why my father built the cemetery here, the eye of the storm was the starting point for my father to lead his troops to attack the ghost country. And the reason why he has hidden the artifact in this place close to the ghost country for so many years is because he is convinced that the most dangerous place is actually the safest. ”

"But. Xiao Li pursed her lips and expressed her doubts, "Doesn't your uncle suspect it?

Duo Yizhen smiled and looked at the exit of the secret room: "Xiao Li, this question will be answered slowly next time, there are guests coming now." ”
