Chapter 20: The Jade Burns

Time, only the stunned Nangong Du and the stunned Qi Xiaowu were left on the third floor. The sound of killing shouts came from afar, but the third floor was extremely silent. This silence made Nangong Du suddenly sober up. He looked at Qi Xiaowu, Qi Xiaowu also looked at him, neither of them spoke, Qi Xiaowu slowly walked to the side of Granny Weng's body, squatted down, and skillfully pulled out a dagger from Granny Weng's waist. Because she was kidnapped all the way here by Granny Weng, she is quite familiar with her full-body weapon hide.

Qi Xiaowu approached Nangong Du step by step with a dagger, his eyes seemed to be resentful and hateful, tears were shining, Nangong Du smiled bitterly in his heart, closed his eyes and prepared to die. After waiting for a while, he felt that Qi Xiaowu Xiangfeng had arrived in front of him, and he silently said in his heart: I'm sorry. At the same time, he suddenly felt that his body was loosened, and when he opened his eyes again, the tangled tree veins on his body had been cut off by Qi Xiaomist. The two looked at each other, and as soon as Nangong Du wanted to speak, footsteps sounded at the door. The two looked up, only to see Nangong Ling walking in from the entrance of the building step by step with slow steps, Nangong Du saw his father come up, knowing that he must have killed Feng Yubai, he was overjoyed, and immediately greeted him, he held Nangong Ling's arm and called softly: "Daddy......"

Nangong Ling smiled slightly, handed the iris knife to Nangong Du's hand, the old hand tightly wrapped his son's hand, his lips moved slightly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth. Immediately, his body fell softly, and Nangong Du was shocked, shouting "Daddy-Daddy-" while squatting down and hugging his father's body. However, Nangong Ling never opened his eyes again, and his no longer strong body gradually cooled in Nangong Du's arms......

At that moment, footsteps sounded at the top of the stairs again, and at the same time, the familiar wild laughter was heard. After all, Nangong Du already knew that his father had run out of oil, so he quickly put away his sadness, hugged his father to the sarcophagus, pulled Qi Xiaowu with one hand, and held the iris knife with the other, protecting his chest to meet this most dangerous enemy.

When the Thousand Bird Pavilion Lord walked into the hall, the Black Feather Great Flame was already in tatters, and it was obvious that he had experienced a bloody battle below. And behind him, followed again by a person who surprised Nangong Du - a lark.

The lark's expression was cold, just like Nangong Du saw her for the first time, and there was no emotion in his deep eyes. But Nangong Du was a little nervous at the moment he looked at her, and involuntarily let go of the hand holding Qi Xiaowu...... Qi Xiaowu was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Nangong slightly, but Nangong didn't notice it.

As if he hadn't seen Nangong Du, the Thousand Bird Pavilion Lord walked straight to the sarcophagus and looked at the sarcophagus with a greedy gaze, completely ignoring Nangong Du, who was holding a knife on the side. Nangong Du was angry from the heart, and slashed at the sarcophagus, although the sarcophagus was not broken, but it made a piercing sound, the master of the Thousand Birds Pavilion covered his ears with a look of disgust, raised his eyes to look at Nangong Du, and suddenly raised the familiar jade key in front of Nangong, and sneered: "See, Feng Yubai gave this to me, so I spared his life and let him go." How about you leave yourself and I let your woman go? The Thousand Bird Pavilion Lord glanced at Qi Xiaowudao. Without waiting for Nangong to speak, the Qianfei Pavilion Lord smiled, and said, "Skylark, do it!" The lark immediately flew towards Nangong Du, and he was ruthless.

Nangong Du didn't want to have a hard time with the lark, he called to the lark in a low voice while retreating: "Skylark, what's wrong with you?" Why are you working for him again? The lark looked at him and said coldly: "Your defeat today is decided, do I still want to die with you?" The Thousand Bird Pavilion Lord watched the two fight from a distance, and saw that Nangong Du blindly let the lark go, which was exactly what he expected, so he nodded with satisfaction and studied the sarcophagus by himself.

Nangong Du couldn't believe that the lark would suddenly have such a change, but listening to her words, she was quite sober and rational, not like she was bewitched. But Nangong Du refused to give up, and continued to persuade the lark, but the lark was unmoved, and when Nangong Du was distracted, the lark suddenly slashed Nangong on the shoulder with a sword, and the master of the Thousand Bird Pavilion looked up when he heard the sound, and said with a smile: "Good lark, tie him up." Without hesitation, the lark tied up Nangong Du and sent it to the sarcophagus, and the Thousand Bird Pavilion Lord squatted down and poked Nangong's wound at the same time, and it was really deep. He screamed in pain. The Thousand Bird Pavilion Lord looked at the blood on his hands and said to Nangong Du: "Do you know why the lark betrayed you? Ha ha...... Because of the jealousy of women. After speaking, he glanced at Qi Xiaowudao. Naturally, everyone understands what this means. Nangong Du was speechless. The master of the Thousand Birds Pavilion had already thrown out the withered skin in the sarcophagus, and at this time, he himself sat down in the sarcophagus and instructed the lark: "Hang him up." The lark respectfully received the order, and hung Nangong Du up, just like Nangong Ling at that time, the blood dripped from his body and dripped onto the Thousand Bird Pavilion Lord, the Thousand Bird Pavilion Lord was very satisfied, and the lark pulled the coffin lid over, and when he was about to cover it, the Thousand Bird Pavilion Lord suddenly grabbed the lark's hand, leaned close to her ear and said: "Remember, after seven seven forty-nine days, when I come out, I will give you the antidote." The lark nodded heavily. The master of the Thousand Birds Pavilion lay down with confidence, and the lid of the coffin slowly closed......

Nangong Du's blood dripped on the eyes of the sarcophagus little by little, and the blood red tree veins all over the sarcophagus were full and bright red, constantly beating, weird and terrifying. The lark was stunned, Qi Xiaowu was also stunned, only Nangong Du was hanging on it, and his consciousness became more and more blurred.

I don't know how long it took, Nangong Du felt relaxed, he slowly opened his eyes, and it was Skylark and Qi Xiaowu looking at him on the left and right. The wound on his shoulder had been simply bandaged. The surrounding walls were red and hot, Nangong Du turned his head to see that the candles around him fell to the ground, and there was already a sea of fire. When the lark saw him wake up, he pulled him up, dragged Qi Xiaowu again, pushed the two of them to the window, and said eagerly, "Jump down from here." Nangong Du looked at it, this place is facing the lake in front of the tower, and it should be fine to jump down. So, his heart was horizontal, he grabbed Qi Xiaowu with one hand and the lark with the other, and said, "Let's jump together." Let's go together! Qi Xiaowu also looked at the lark and nodded heavily.

The lark smiled sadly, looked at the two of them and said, "You go first, that Feng Yubai told me a way before leaving, you can destroy the sarcophagus, and I will naturally go to you after I destroy it." Nangong Du was unmoved, and said, "Then let's wait for you to destroy it and go together!" Qi Xiaowu also said: "Yes, if you don't, we won't leave." The lark looked down and thought for a moment and said, "Okay." So, the three of them walked to the window together, and suddenly the lark took out the jade key and handed it to Nangong Dudao: "By the way, this is for you." Nangong Du just stretched out his hand to catch it, the lark suddenly let go of his hand, and the jade key fell straight down, Nangong was startled, and instinctively let go of the lark's hand to reach out to catch the jade key. said that it was too late, but it was fast, and the lark took advantage of the situation to push and pushed Nangong Du and Qi Xiaowu out of the window at the same time. Nangong Du tried to turn her head to look up, only to see that the lark's pale face was red by the firelight, but her expression was as relaxed as if she was in the August sun, and that smile remained in Nangong Du's surprised pupils for a long time......
