The two jade slips were exactly the same in texture, shape, and aura, and were in the shape of a shuttle. The only difference was that one was engraved with the word "Chu" and the other was engraved with the word "Xu"!
Whether it was Xu Kuangshi or Chu Chen, they looked at the jade slips in their hands with a deep sense of awe!
Obviously, the jade slips in their hands must have been given by the gravekeeper.
"The frost and dew are bright..."
"The wind and snow are vast..."
"The long night is coming..."
"I will watch from now on..." "
Until death..."
...
The next moment, the whole hall was filled with the ancient, vast, absolute, and faithful chanting!
Xu Kuangshi and Chu Chen both held the jade slips in their right hands and stroked their chests with their left hands. Their faces were solemn and their expressions were pious. One by one, ancient oaths rang out from their mouths, sonorous and blazing!
Listening to these oaths, Ye Wuque, who was sitting upright, suddenly focused his eyes!
He understood instantly!
This must be the oath from the gravekeeper!
From these sentences, words by words, Ye Wuque could easily feel the fearlessness, faith, loneliness, fiery, and peerless spirit of never giving up until death!
"Gravekeeper..."
Ye Wuque murmured to himself. At this moment, he felt the persistence of the gravekeeper!
If such an existence is the backup left to him by his father and Uncle Fu, then this group of people will be worthy of his... respect!
Buzz!
As Xu Kuangshi and Chu Chen chanted, the ancient jade slips in their hands began to bloom with a hazy light, becoming more and more blazing, and finally seemed to turn into two small suns, illuminating the entire hall!
Finally, the two jade slips soared into the sky, suspended in the void, and began to emit an extremely strong spatial force and summoning meaning. The words "Xu" and "Chu" on the jade slips flashed out and were clearly visible!
A leisurely roar resounded, and in the void in the center of the hall, a shining light gate slowly took shape, turning from blurry to clear, and finally descended with a bang!
When the light gate was completely clear, Xu Kuangshi and Chu Chen no longer chanted the ancient oath, but bent towards the light gate, touching their chests with their left hands, with solemn and respectful expressions!
At the same time, Chu Tianxing, Chu Tianxiang, and Xu Tianlong and Xu Tianhu standing behind Xu Kuangshi did the same!
Ye Wuque sat quietly, his bright eyes staring at the light gate without blinking!
Boom!
As if the buried years were unsealed, as if the sealed time was awakened, the light gate slowly opened!
Darkness!
Behind the light gate, there was an eternal darkness!
Just one look would make you feel lonely and dead!
The darkness stretched to who knows where, as if it was endless, until forever, until death!
Boom, boom, boom...
Suddenly, footsteps sounded from the end of the darkness, slowly but firmly walking, every step was like stepping on the bottom of people's hearts, from far to near, shaking the soul!
Finally, a tall figure crossed the eternal darkness, came to the light gate, and stood quietly!
He was dressed in black, and although his face was hidden in the darkness, he was like a mountain peak, a piece of sky, standing there, supporting the whole world!
Only a deep, indifferent, and eternal eye flashed in the darkness, so clear, covering it!
"Withered and Flourishing Realm...Xu Kuangshi!"
"Autumn Water Realm...Chu Chen!"
"You two jointly summoned the gravekeeper...what's the matter?"
The sonorous and solemn voice sounded slowly, with an unquestionable firmness and persistence!
In the hall, Ye Wuque's eyes were focused on this tall figure at the moment, Feng Caichen also looked over, even the fairy Miaomiao who had been eating also glanced over.
"Report to the gravekeeper!"
"We have found...the young master!"
Xu Kuangshi raised his head, his expression respectful, and spoke with the same firmness, resounding.
Chu Chen was the same.
Boom!
The originally well-lit hall was suddenly shrouded in endless darkness. The tall figure standing in front of the light gate like a mountain suddenly trembled!
"You... say it again?"
The tall figure's voice was trembling, but more of it was a shocking clang!
"Reporting to the gravekeeper! We have found the young master and invited him here. Now the young master is here, right behind us!"
Chu Chen said immediately.
Immediately, he and Xu Kuangshi retreated together, and finally retreated to the sides of Ye Wuque, standing respectfully!
"This is the young master! His name is... Ye Wuque!"
In the eternal darkness, the deep and indifferent eyes swept over in an instant, like a beam of light breaking through the dawn, with incomparable light and blazing!
And Ye Wuque's bright and deep eyes also looked over at this moment!
The two pairs of eyes collided in the void!
The next moment, Ye Wuque slowly stood up and stood in front of Xu Kuangshi and Chu Chen, standing with his hands behind his back, looking straight at the tall figure!
Everyone in the hall clearly saw that the tall figure in the light gate trembled again when he saw Ye Wuque, even the black clothes could not block it!
"You are... the gravekeeper?"
Ye Wuque spoke softly, but there was a hint of concentration in his tone!
In the light gate, the tall figure did not answer, but stared at Ye Wuque without blinking. Then, he stretched out his hands, and a ray of light flashed, and a small tripod suddenly appeared in his hand!
The small tripod was simple and mottled, showing bronze color, giving people a breath of time. The tall figure held the small tripod and patted it gently!
The originally quiet little tripod seemed to sense something, and began to tremble slowly, even more and more violently, and finally a red light burst out from it!
The next moment, under Ye Wuque's shocked eyes, he saw a bright red rainbow light suddenly flew out from the little tripod!
The moment he saw the rainbow light, Ye Wuque felt that the blood in his body was trembling slightly!
This feeling appeared again!
The rainbow light contained his own...blood!
Whoosh!
The rainbow light also sensed Ye Wuque's existence, and immediately broke through the sky, flew towards Ye Wuque, and rushed directly into his body!
Ye Wuque's body shook slightly, and the flying blood merged perfectly with the blood in his body, indistinguishable from each other!
Boom!
The tall figure had been watching all this closely from beginning to end. When he saw the blood in Ye Wuque's little tripod merge perfectly with Ye Wuque, his body finally began to tremble slightly!
"Young Master..."
A trembling whisper came from the tall figure's mouth, containing extremely complex emotions, excitement, surprise, and excitement, as if the long wait had finally paid off!
Raising his trembling right hand, the tall figure put away the small tripod, and with his right hand, another object appeared in his hand, which was an ancient... horn!
The tall figure first bowed slightly to Ye Wuque, then turned around and blew the horn in his hand into the eternal darkness behind him!
Woo...
Ancient and melodious, with a touch of sonorous and majestic, it resounded from the front of the light gate to the eternal darkness behind him!
But within a few breaths, everyone in the hall heard footsteps coming from far and near from the light gate, with a touch of eagerness, a touch of excitement, and a kind of excitement after waiting for a long time!
All the gravekeepers are here!
Xu Kuangshi and Chu Chen's eyes met, and they both saw the excitement in each other's eyes. In the past ten years, the only gravekeeper they had seen was the tall figure, and today, all the gravekeepers will appear!
Just because their young master... is back!
In the light gate, the tall figure who appeared first put away the horn and turned around again. His shining deep eyes bloomed with endless brilliance at this moment. He looked at Ye Wuque and took a step forward!
At the same time, a sonorous and pious sound full of persistence, faith, fearlessness, and fiery rang out!
"Frost and dew are bright..."
...
"The wind and snow are vast..."
The pious and blazing oaths echoed again! The
tall figure walked out of the darkness, stepped into the void, and walked slowly towards Ye Wuque. His face was finally revealed, but he was wearing a white mask that covered his facial features. Only a pair of eyes were reflected from the mask!
"The long night is coming..."
...
"I will watch from now on..."
...
"Until death..."
These three oaths did not come from the tall figure, but from the light gate, from another... gravekeeper!
One after another, figures in black stepped out from the eternal darkness in the light gate, all wearing white masks, reflecting blazing and deep eyes, following closely behind the leading gravekeeper, stepping into the void, slowly walking towards Ye Wuque!
Every time an oath fell, a gravekeeper stepped out!
"I will not marry, give up land, or have children..."
...
"I will not wear a crown, nor fight for honor or disgrace..."
...
"I will be loyal to my duties, and live and die here..."
...
"I am a sharp sword in the darkness, a guard in the night..."
...
"I am a servant who resists the flames of rebellion and guards the tombstones, waiting for the call of the young master, to reign over this world and settle accounts for the lies of sin..."
...
"I dedicate my life and honor to the gravekeeper..."
...
"Tonight is like this..."
...
"Every night is like this..." Every
word is sonorous, every sentence is soul-stirring!
When the last oath fell, thirty-three figures stood tall in the void, their black clothes fluttering, darkness descended, and thirty-three pairs of equally blazing and deep eyes were all shrouded on Ye Wuque at this moment!
gs4)
Boom!
The next moment, the void roared, and thirty-three black-clothed figures half-knelt down towards Ye Wuque, stroking their chests with their left hands, lowering their heads, and the sonorous and pious voices resounded!
"Young Master!"
"Gravekeeper... come and see me!"
