Chapter 50: Abram
Yaoshan Snake Cave (200 years ago):
The sacrificial procession escorted the "Pure Man" to the entrance of the cave, and after worshipping the cave according to custom, he left the sacrifice alone. The others hurried down the hill and returned.
The woman's fingers were intertwined, and she naturally drooped in front of her abdomen, and slowly walked into the hole. The fingers that are constantly intertwined show the tension and uneasiness in the woman's heart, and it is not as calm and calm as it seems on the outside.
She was dressed in a pink brocade silk skirt and a blue satin pinched placket coat. The tangled hairpin on the head delicately coils the long hair behind the head, simple but beautiful.
None of the women who sacrificed to the serpent god came back alive. The old people persuaded her to dress up well, because there was no return, and she left with the most beautiful appearance, and it was not in vain that she was in this jasper year.
However, the woman didn't bother to put on makeup. Even so, it is graceful and beautiful.
Going deep into the cave, the woman found that the soil layer under her feet was hard and slightly protruding, as if it had its own shape. It resembles the bones of a snake, slender and long. Not far away, a man sat cross-legged on the fossilized tailbone of a giant serpent, with his back to him.
Since Hua Zhong and Solu Yuqi have been souls together, they have lived together with their souls. Both sides found that there were major flaws in their respective bodies, which seemed to be the drawbacks brought about by the Covenant Soul. Suo Luyu and Hua Zhong's soul bodies are missing, especially Yu'er, she can't use too much energy to damage the demon power, otherwise the demon yuan will be dispersed, and it will easily turn into its original form.
Yu'er needs the purest soul body in the world to maintain the demon element.
Today is the last day of the 7749 day period, and it is also the most critical moment. Soluwen was waiting for this final sacrifice at this moment.
The man turned around, and when he saw the woman, he couldn't hide his shock.
Looking at the beautiful eyes, the moon is closed. Suo Lu still remembers the shocking time back then, and it was difficult to reach the love and hatred of the water and the moon. The first time we met, I remember it vividly.
"Abran?! Why are you here! ”
"What else can I do here besides sacrifice? It's you...... Why is General Solou here? ”
"Sacrifice? Do you know what that means? ”
"Of course I do! I've come here to realize. For the sake of the people of Northern Zhan, I will personally pray to the snake god. Let Beizhan not suffer from the pain of war and epidemic! ”
"No...... You give me back! Soluwen passed by Abran's side and took her arm and walked in the direction of the hole, "You don't know what's inside!" You're going to die......"
The woman couldn't break free, so she shouted loudly: "So many people are sacrificing for Beizhan, why can't I?" If I leave today, the snake god is furious and no longer protects Bei Zhan, what will be the result? ”
The sunlight at the entrance of the cave showed that the time had come. This is the last moment of Yu'er's success or failure. At this time, it is impossible to find someone else to replace her.
"The result was a failure. Forty-eight pure people died in vain, and no one could stop the spread of the plague, and there would be more than 100,000 people suffering at that time...... Million...... And I, in the short term, will also lose my body, and I have no mana. ”
Abran sighed lightly, "That being the case, the general should be for the country and the people, how can he abandon the world and ignore it." Is the life of a little girl more important than the life of 100,000 or millions of people? ”
Suo Luwen imagined the scene of corpses strewn across the mountains and rivers in his mind, and his clenched hands unconsciously relaxed.
Staring at the man's sad eyes, Abran seemed to deliberately mention: "Big husband, how can you just specialize in magic. Without spells, can't you fight? Defending the family and the country is more in the art of war. Those who will win the battle will be judged by law. Those who win and do not die will be taught to be profitable. If there is accumulation, it will not be scarce for a long time; If the equipment is skillful, it will be cut without cost: if the reward and punishment are clear, the warrior will persuade also. ”
"You're such a strange woman......"
"I hope that the name of the general will go down in history forever. Sort of me ...... I have wished for a lifetime. The woman took two steps back, squatted down and saluted: "The general cherishes!" Goodbye Abram! ”
Solu Wen took a step forward and asked, "There is a rumor that when I went on the expedition, there was a woman in the General's Pavilion who often looked at the mountains. Is that person you? ”
Abran smiled without saying a word, turned and walked away, pacing deeper.
This farewell is forever separated by heaven and man. Solu was shocked, and an emotional outburst that he had never felt before. His eyes began to harden.
The woman heard the sound of the following footsteps, and suddenly felt her arm be pulled violently, and her whole body swirled. Abran looked at the man in astonishment, and heard him say:
"You ask me, is your life more important than the lives of 100,000 or millions of people? Then I will answer you now, yes, you are more important than the people in the world! ”
……………………………………
Serpent's Head Palace:
Yuan Xing and Su Wuqian rushed into the palace and found that this place was messy, different from the neat layout of other tombs.
The sand covered the floor tiles of the palace, and the uneven ground was covered with vines, which connected the walls to the top of the palace. The roof of the palace is full of small breathable holes, and a gentle breeze flows out of those dense air holes.
Although they are not exposed to sunlight, these vines still grow thick and luxuriant. Under the reflection of the candle flame, it shows a purple-red luster, which is bewitching and weird.
In the mess of tree vines, scattered some behemoths, wrapped in vines. But you can still see the white egg-shaped spheres in the gaps.
As Yuan Xing passed by the white ball, he wondered what it was, so he reached out and touched its skin. When the palm of the hand pressed against the white ball, there was a burst of irregular shaking from inside. Yuan Xing seemed to be pushing too hard, and his fingers actually pierced a small hole in the white ball, and the white worms inside swarmed out.
These are actually insect buds! Yuan Xing waved to disperse the white worms in front of him, carefully dodging and retreating.
The flying white worms sucked on the roof of the chamber and burrowed through the dense and tiny air holes.
Su Wuqian's attention was attracted by the five coffins in the room, one of which had already been opened.
"Here...... I've been here! I've been here with my big brother! The burial chamber is not far from the surface! ”
"What do you say! Been here? Yuan Xing's heart twisted, and he immediately shouted.
According to past experience, as soon as the coffin is opened, the burial chamber mechanism will be activated and the stone door will be closed. This is Yuan Xing's purpose, he wants to keep the red-eyed zombies and the army of corpse soldiers out of the door.
But if the tomb has been broken into, and the mechanism has been cracked once, it is really unknown whether it will still be effective.
"I can't care so much! Make every possible effort! Open the coffin! ”
There was a coffin in each of the four corners and the center of the tomb, and Yuan Xing and Su Wuqian each pushed open a coffin lid in a hurry. The five coffins have now been opened, and the third of them has been opened.
When the coffin was opened, it was visible that there was a zombie inside. Even if two zombies are released, it doesn't matter, with Yuan Xing's current spiritual power, with one enemy and two, there is still something to be done. As long as it's not a red-eyed zombie, other monsters don't have to be feared.
"Hehehe......"
The stone door shook and closed with a bang. Yuan Xing and Su Wuqian turned their heads to look back when they heard the laughter, but they saw the red-eyed zombie standing in the door! The stone door was closed, but it was still a step too late, allowing the red eye to break in! This is the worst-case scenario!
The two zombies crawled out of the coffin and trapped Yuan Xing and Su Wuqian in the center of the tomb together with the red-eyed zombies, forming a triangle and encirclement.
The stone gate is closed, and the Snake Head Palace is already a closed secret room, and there is nowhere to escape. Just now, the two of them hurriedly opened the coffin, and activated the trap to protect themselves. Now that the situation is reversed, they must crack the mechanism as soon as possible and try to find a way out.
"I'll get their attention, go find the stone statues! Now that you've cracked the mechanism here, it won't bother to get out again, right? ”
"What nonsense are you talking about! With my brother making a move, how can he be stupid enough to trigger the mechanism! When we opened the coffin, the stone door was not closed! There are doors on three sides of this tomb, and we enter through the north gate and exit through the south gate, and we are not hindered! How to crack the mechanism! ”
"In this way, you can only fight hard! I'll do my best to stall! ”
"Do you want to fight one against three? Can it hold up? Su Wuqian said suspiciously, "I'll lead the two bodies next to me, and you concentrate on dealing with the red eye." Wouldn't it be safer to break them one by one? ”
"But your body ......"
"It's not that easy for them to catch me."
As the two spoke, the red-eyed zombie moved. It's just that instead of bullying it, it shifted its direction and walked towards the unopened coffin in the east corner.
Yuan Xing once again said firmly in his heart: This red-eyed zombie is really sharp in thinking and clear in consciousness! It is not in a hurry to attack, but wants to open the coffin and release the zombies, as much as possible to form a situation of more against less! ”
The red-eyed zombie looked down at the body inside the coffin, reached out to touch its forehead, and stroked it all the way to his chest. The black corpse in the coffin was sensitized, and woke up with his eyes open,
However, this time Yuan Xing guessed wrong, and the red-eyed zombie did not want to release this zombie. I saw that its flat palm suddenly bent into a claw. Before the black corpse got up, he stabbed him in the heart.
Although the skin and bones of zombies are extremely hard, the advantages of red-eyed hands and claws are not far behind. If the same kind kills each other, the evil forces destroy each other, and they will be defeated.
Sure enough. The red-eyed zombie gestured without pause, and its claws stabbed into the black corpse's breastplate, penetrating deep into the heart. With a low scream, the black corpse's whole body trembled, and the evil qi leaked out.
Lines of black aura appeared on the outside of the red-eyed zombie's arm, which meant that a large amount of evil qi was flowing into the red-eyed body along the veins. It greedily sucked the corpse qi of its kind, making its already good evil element improve again.
Yuan Xing and Su Wuqian found that the shape of the red eye had changed again. Not as puffy as when we first met, nor as shriveled as in the pit viper's tail. Maybe it's because of the evil spirit that permeates the body, the skin with red eyes is plump, and she looks like a normal woman who is still alive, with a graceful body and a good face, but Kurosawa is still the same.
The current red eye is difficult to summarize in a nutshell.
"Oh no......" Yuan Xing screamed bitterly, he still underestimated the red eye. It turned out that it was not a coincidence, it really knew how to seize the evil qi and complete its self-cultivation! A zombie who is diligent in the evil element is more terrifying than a hundred and ten corpse soldiers! ”
The changes in red eyes clearly don't stop there. The demon swelled, and she held her eyes in rage. The long black waterfall hair suddenly broke the headband, and it stood up in the sky. It is like the water of the Hantan Waterfall of Yaoshan Mountain, going upstream.
The red eyes were entangled in black gas, as if they could not bear the limit, and overturned the coffin in front of them in extreme uneasiness. The hair flutters upwards and starts at the base of the scalp and gradually turns blood-red.
The black hair turned red, as if Qingsi was constantly absorbing the essence of the red eye's brain, making it unbearable. The red eyes hugged his head, swaying left and right, and suddenly felt a heart-rending pain! The world was spinning, and the moment its consciousness was scattered, it fell to its knees.
"Ah...... Pander to...... Cloth...... Pander to...... Cloth ......"
The red eyes couldn't close their mouths, and between the black lips, the red tongue spit out, repeating the words intermittently that people couldn't understand. Although the tone is still weird, the individual articulations are much clearer than before.
"What is she talking about? …… Pander to...... Cloth...... What exactly does Abu mean? What exactly is she trying to express? ”
Su Wuqian was surprised by the change in her red eyes, and she was even more curious about her persistent words.
