In the Blade

The next morning, the young emperor with a clear and foolish face held a ceremony to confer the title of Grand Master.

None of the civil and military officials were quite sure what was going on. After all, the Great Chen had never paid attention to this when conferring titles before. Could it be that their emperor was showing off his military power to them? He was showing off to the ministers how powerful the Grand Master was, and how sharp the hidden sword was?

The ministers didn't know, but Chen Yu, the emperor, knew.

Not only Chen Yu knew, but even Du Chengfeng knew.

Sure enough, after the boring ceremony was completed, Du Chengfeng was left alone by Chen Yu, saying that he had something important to do.

"Since the Grand Master has been appointed, he should also receive the national defense magic weapon to stabilize the mountains and rivers."

The young emperor still looked easy to talk to, and it seemed that anyone could deceive him.

Just like now, if Du Chengfeng, who has all the skills, took the so-called national defense magic weapon and ran away, what could the Southern Chen do?

Anyone can get some benefits from this young emperor, or at least it looks like they can.

But Du Chengfeng knew that the real big job was coming.

"Then the Grand Master will go to the Imperial Mausoleum with me and receive the Divine Weapon for Protecting the Nation."

The young emperor laughed.

Du Chengfeng also laughed.

Sure enough, he knew it would be like this, otherwise why would the young emperor call him from Yizhou?

Just like weapons have their own things to do, people often have their own demands and things they want to do. If it were before, he might have been confused by the young emperor like those civil and military officials, but now, he already knew the other party's true thoughts.

The title of the Grand Master, the so-called Divine Weapon for Protecting the Nation, and all the treatment given by the young emperor were to send him to the Imperial Mausoleum and die for the royal family.

But this didn't matter to Du Chengfeng.

After all, the place he wanted to go was also the Imperial Mausoleum.

"But wait a minute, I need to get something."

As he said this, Du Chengfeng rode back to his bedroom and took the snacks with him.

This made Chen Yu look at him sideways.

"Grandmaster, what do you mean?"

"I like sweet food."

Du Chengfeng replied casually.

He actually prefers salty and fresh tastes, but there is no need to tell the young emperor about this.

Both sides had their own concerns, which slowed down the progress. Fortunately, the distance to the imperial mausoleum was not too far, and it could basically be said that it was just out of the city.

Looking at the huge mausoleum group in front of him and the mountains behind the mausoleum group, Du Chengfeng suddenly remembered the old man Ruan in Ziyang Mountain.

The old man Ruan in the past, after turning into a monster, had a huge posture and incomparable strength, which he was completely unable to deal with.

So, what about this time?

"What's wrong, Grandmaster?"

"Nothing."

Shaking his head, Du Chengfeng led the horse and took the snacks and slowly entered the imperial mausoleum.

Even though Du Chengfeng brought a bunch of weapons with him, which was not in accordance with etiquette, at this moment, Chen Yu and Du Chengfeng had already had some tacit understanding.

They both knew what each other wanted.

The dim corridor was quite long, and it was almost impossible to see the end, but it didn't matter to Du Chengfeng. After all, strictly speaking, it was not the first time he came to such a place.

It was just that the one who came last time was not him, but the old emperor's sword.

But the difference was not big. After all, whether it was him or the sword, the ultimate goal was to bleed the monster in the imperial mausoleum. Of course, it was really difficult to bleed a monster that was invulnerable to swords and guns, and even the evil weapons could not cut into it.

So Du Chengfeng brought more weapons this time.

Although the square sword without a tip and a blade has been confirmed to be unable to be used for bleeding, there should be other weapons that can do this job.

"Come on."

Du Chengfeng patted the heavy sword hanging on his back.

"Come on."

Du Chengfeng patted the cloth-wrapped Overlord Halberd again.

Try with the knife first. If the knife can't do it, then use the halberd. If even the halberd can't do it, then he needs to think of some special methods - such as trying to get into the mouth of the huge giant like the Monkey King in the story, and then stab him to bleed from the gums or stomach.

Anyway, as long as the goal is firm, there are always more ways than difficulties.

The deeper you go, the darker the corridor becomes. Even the torches on both sides of the wall are not all lit. Obviously, no one has been here for a long time, and there is no one to replace the torches.

Du Chengfeng can understand why this situation has occurred. After all, he already knows the dangers in this imperial mausoleum. This kind of place is naturally not suitable for sending anyone to come and clean it frequently. If one fails, he may lose his life.

"So, if you really have to live in such a place, I'm afraid it will be very lonely."

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh.

Then he frowned.

What a joke, he came here to fight, to make the giant bleed, and when the two sides fight, maybe it will be a life or death battle.

Why did he suddenly start to empathize with the giant living deep in the imperial mausoleum?

"It's the emotions, my emotions have been infected!"

Du Chengfeng keenly noticed this change.

If it were before, he probably wouldn't have noticed this subtle change, but after touching many weapons, especially the Overlord Halberd, Du Chengfeng had already sensed this subtle psychological change - and now he felt this inexplicable atmosphere of loneliness, which reminded him of the madness brought to him by the Overlord Halberd.

"If you live in this environment for a long time, I'm afraid you will really be eroded by loneliness and commit suicide."

Feeling the vague atmosphere around him, Du Chengfeng quickly came to a conclusion.

If the side effect of the Overlord Halberd is that people like to show off, arrogant and conceited, until they turn over and kill themselves, then the effect of this inexplicable atmosphere around is to make people lonely, depressed, and finally die in depression.

"Depression aura?"

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but stare in amazement. He never thought that there was such an attack method.

But he didn't have no way to deal with it. When he touched the handle of the thick sword, the warm firelight had already surrounded him.

With a knife in hand, he is not alone, and naturally he will not feel lonely or depressed.

However, what Du Chengfeng did not expect was that the most shocking thing was still to come.

"Why are you here?"

In the depths of the imperial mausoleum, Du Chengfeng looked at the burly man eating snacks and was stunned.

"Why are you here?"

The burly man who was tasting dessert looked at Du Chengfeng holding a big knife with a puzzled look.

After sleeping for a day, my tired body got a rest. I will continue to write, please wait.
