Chapter Eighty-Seven: Your Sacrifice, Shall You?
The shadows moved fast, but in a matter of moments, they moved neatly and quickly from the mountainside to the bottom of the mountain. At first glance, it is a well-trained guard.
It's just that the divine consciousness of the three of Jiuze all circled around the place where those shadows came down a few times, and they didn't find the entrance to the prison. Fortunately, although this guard is well-trained, its overall cultivation is not high, and it is estimated that it is only in the middle stage of qi refining.
It is more than enough to deal with ordinary ordinary people, but in front of Jiuze and the three of them, it is not enough.
The three of them used their divine senses to easily control the group of seven guards, and the seven people only moved the moment their divine senses came into contact, and then they didn't struggle anymore, standing straight in place and motionless.
Shen Yi and Khotan Yun found a bunch of tokens on several people.
Among them, there are seven identical plates, which are about the identity cards of these people, and the black tokens have only one fangs engraved on them.
The other, the token seemed to have a circle engraved on it, glowing faintly red in the dark night, which could be covered by a thicker piece of red light, hidden in the sleeve of a guard.
After getting the things and withdrawing his divine sense, Shen Yi swung his sword and drew a trap formation on the ground, preparing to trap the seven people in it.
Jiuze: "Senior brother, this trapped array may be isolated from message transmission?"
Shen Yi shook his head.
Jiu Ze waved his hand and fired seven sleepy star needles at several people.
"Within two hours, they couldn't wake up. ”
Khotan Yun said: "This is indeed more secure. As he spoke, he took out a number of hidden charms and blessed them on the trapped array, hiding the entire array.
"That way, even if someone accidentally passes by, they won't notice them. Khotan Yun clapped his hands in satisfaction, looked at the mountainside, and said, "Shall we go up?"
The seven guards slept peacefully in the hidden trap, and the sound of insects and the howling mountain wind at night had no effect on them.
The mountainside of Python Jiao Mountain is very easy to climb, and more than ten easy leaps are standing on the mountainside.
As soon as I went up the mountainside, the red light became intense on the token engraved with the magic circle.
Following the faint tug on the token, the three of them quickly found the location of the prison gate.
The door slowly appeared in front of the three of them.
Seeing this scene, the three of them took a step back and drew their weapons to block their chests.
The black door with its fangs was still slowly opening, and a cold and bloody wind blew out of the cracks.
"Something is wrong," Kusawa said.
It's too smooth, if it's really a prison here, the defense is too lax.
"Withdraw first!" Shen Yi also felt that it was wrong.
When Khotan Yun heard this, he did not hesitate to retreat.
Only at this moment, a strong suction force wrapped the three of them and rolled in through the half-open door.
The huge black door slammed shut behind the trio.
At the same time, a strong smell of blood came from the surface, which made people smell sick.
The cold aura also surrounded several people, standing here, for Jiu Ze, it was like staying in an ice warehouse at minus forty or fifty degrees, if she hadn't tempered her muscles and muscles now, I was afraid that she would be so frozen that she couldn't move normally.
I took a few steps forward in the dark.
With a "bang", a piece of firelight lit up together, illuminating this cave clearly and terrifyingly.
Sure enough, this is a prison.
A circular cave with a pool of churning blood in the center. Forty-nine blood troughs were scattered around the pool, which were filled with bright red blood and pieced together into a pattern.
At the center of the pattern is a pool of blood.
At the end of each blood trough, this person hangs upside down, this person has breath, but there is a figure from the mouth of the heart, opposite to the shape of the blood trough. Small strands of blood gush out of the heart, flow into the blood trough, and eventually into the blood pool.
Look at the pool of blood, the blood in it is not bright red in the blood tank, but black and red, and bubbling, like a hot pot, but the fragrance is not exuded, but a strong fishy rancid smell, and in every bubble that keeps rising, this white bone is wrapped.
As far as they could see now, there were more than thirty people here.
"Help, save me. A faint voice came.
The three of them followed the voice and saw that it was a man, who was already too weak at this time to look like he was dying.
Jiu Ze didn't know him, but he saw that this person was dressed in red, and the guards outside were wearing the same standard, a torn black cloak hung down, his face was scarred, and his corresponding blood trough lay a golden mask that was broken in half.
It's terrible.
Jiu Ze just glanced at it twice, but before he moved, Khotan Yun said: "Don't worry about him, junior sister, you didn't have time to take care of the back that day, but I have been paying attention, this person took the lead in chasing us in the dirt road that day." ”
"Oh?" Jiu Ze looked at Khotan, "So, he's here because he didn't catch us?"
Khotan Yun said: "No matter why, he chose to help the abuse, and this is the price." ”
"The price ......" the man laughed when he heard Khotan's words.
This smile touched the wounds on his body, and he trembled in pain: "I have always wanted to live, and to live, do I have to pay a price?"
"Anyone can live, but not everyone will do all kinds of evil things to live!" Khotan Yun blurted out.
"But I just want to live, I, what choice?" the man was a little excited, coughed lightly, and a lot of blood gushed out of his heart, but it stopped above the blood trough, condensed into a ball of blood, and stayed firmly above the blood trough, only a column of blood was separated, maintaining the blood flow speed and flow of this blood trough.
"See?" said the man's face was desperate and giving up, "I can only obey such a technique." ”
After seeing such exquisite and precise control of this formation, the three of Jiuze were very shocked in their hearts, but when they heard this, Khotan Yun instinctively replied: "Nonsense, you should ......"
"I should have died right now, right?" the man seemed to smile, and his face was full of knife wounds and blood, and the smile was cold: "I know, but why? Everyone has only this life, why should I die because of those so-called morality? I want to live, live desperately." ”
Khotan Yun was silent, and he suddenly didn't know how to speak. I knew that this person's idea was wrong, but I didn't know how to refute it.
Master Venerable said that every living person must do everything for his life. Everyone has the desire to live and the right to live.
Shizun also said that there is no kind of sacrifice in this world that is taken for granted, even if one person's sacrifice changes the lives of a hundred or even a thousand or even 10,000 people, because every life is equally precious, so every sacrifice is embarrassing.
No one can judge whether a sacrifice is worth it, except for the victim himself. Because no sacrifice is fair to the lives that are sacrificed.
Many of the sacrifices in the world are due to the fault of some ignorant people, who have taken most lives to the fore. At this time, many innocent, capable people are sacrificed who could have made a greater contribution to the world.
But because of this, sacrifice is noble.
Heroes often sacrifice themselves to turn the tide. And those who cultivate the Tao must let the hero live in their hearts, and they must be ready to sacrifice their lives at any time, which is a reward to the spirit of heaven and earth.
Those heroic deeds, Khotan Yun listened to for many years. He never thought that anyone would choose to live such a despicable life.
But as he said, he just wanted to live, and in the face of a man who was too strong to resist, he chose to obey.
Khotan Yun couldn't help but ask himself, if he were to change places, would he choose to die or steal his life?
Is he really in a position to accuse a man who seems to him to be despicable in his behavior, but who just wants to survive?
I only heard Jiu Ze suddenly speak out and look at the man who was hanging: "But you are still dying." You're right, you don't have a choice for a long time, because no matter how you choose, the result is the same. ”
"......No," the man gasped desperately, as if trying to prove something: "If I hadn't deceived the Lord ...... then"
"You will also be punished for your incompetence. Jiuze said, pointing to the blood pool, "Here, how many people's flesh and blood are gathered?"
The man was stunned for a moment and muttered, "I can't remember clearly, a lot, a lot of ......"
"Too much ......"
The voice grew deeper.
Not far from the man was the new maid.
The maid hung her head, not the slightest hint of struggle.
Looking at the other blood troughs, although the blood was still gushing out, the people who were hanging were silent, but the slight rise and fall of their chests proved that they were still alive.
The churning in the center of the pool of blood is getting faster and faster.
The black-red blood gradually gathered into a protrusion.
The coldness around him is getting stronger and stronger.
"In three days, what will this formation become?" Jiu Ze looked at the changes in the formation, and his heart was a little worried.
Shen Yi shook his head, looking at the people above the blood tank who were only breathing and the skeletons in the blood pool, his tone was full of grief: "The price of this Nine Turns and Seven Evil Formations in this world is really too great. ”
Khotan Yun also said: "This kind of formation is simply crazy. ”
"Hahaha," a gruff old laugh rang out in the air.
"You're finally here!" Jiuze shouted at the sound of laughter.
Ever since they were involved in this cave, they knew that they had been exposed, so they had been waiting for each other to appear.
"Hahaha, Xiaoyou is really smart. The rough laugh sounded again, and the old and mournful voice was full of disdain, "A few people have even found out the Seven Evil Arrays, so do you know what I want to do when I invite you in?"
Shen Yi said lightly: "The old man invited us to visit, but we were naturally disrespectful. ”
"It's a good one but it's disrespectful, it's indeed a good doll with a good number of courtesies, the old man has been in retreat for so many years, and the etiquette of human beings is becoming more and more thoughtful, yes, yes. The voice fell, and a phantus appeared in the depths of the cave, slowly walking towards the three of them.
The phantom gradually solidified as he walked, and his speed became faster and faster, and he said: "If the old man asks you to replace the dying people here, you will definitely not refuse, you must know that with your cultivation, the effect of the blood of the whole body is the sum of these people, if you are willing to sacrifice your ego for my great cause, then I will let these people go, and those who are left will not have to die, and they don't even have to suffer." ”
"How?" The phantom had solidified, it was an old man in brocade clothes, and the folds on his face were gathered because of his expression at the moment, adding a little more weirdness to his coldness.
The old man continued to smile: "What? The people of Chengzhou will thank you when they want to come, don't you want to save them? ”
"You!" the old man raised his voice to look at a wall behind him, "You have also come to beg these disciples of the Immortal Family, they are the most compassionate and kind-hearted, and they will definitely agree to suffer for you and change the state for peace." ”
As soon as the old man's words fell, someone said, "Master Wang, is this true?"
"Naturally," the old man laughed coldly, "I never lie. ”
As soon as the words fell, in the wall where the inner situation could not be seen, there were one cry for help after another: "Immortal Chief, save us, we are all mortals, we can't stand it!"
"Immortal Chief, Immortal Hair Grow Kind!"
"You immortal people, are you just watching us die?"
"If you don't save us, you are not worthy of being a disciple of the Immortal Sect!"
"That's enough! The immortal chief outside doesn't owe us, why should he die for us. Someone objected to this cry for help.
"Shut up! What do you know, they are disciples of the Immortal Sect, and it is their responsibility to save us!"
"Yes, if they don't save us, they don't deserve it!"
"They came to save us, and if you are like this, you will take revenge!" the first to speak shouted again, barely overpowering the high-pitched 'cellmate'.
"They were born to die for us!"
"You are talking nonsense! the immortal chief does not owe us, but the one who owes us is the one surnamed Wang!" another person retorted.
"Shut up! Master Wang has already given us a chance! If you don't want to live, don't bother us!"
"Then why are you forcing the Immortal Elder to replace us!
"Our Chengzhou City has made offerings to the sect!"
"What kind of offerings? Did you hand in those vegetables and rice grains? How many of them went to the immortal chiefs? Is it worth exchanging the lives of the immortal chiefs?"
Master Wang just smiled and listened to the fierce dispute between those people because of this rare opportunity to live, and added another sentence without saltiness: "Three, if you agree, the old man's magic skills will be completed early, which means ......"
Master Wang paused deliberately, until the noisy stone wall was quiet, and then continued: "The entire Chengzhou City can be relieved early. ”
The people who had just quieted down were boiling again.
