Chapter 403: Death for the Master
In the depths of Kunlun Mountain, on the snow ridge of the holy land of Yaochi, Xiaoyaozi stood by the portal and pondered, and a huge snow leopard with a length of nearly two meters circled around Xiaoyaozi like a kitten, with a sword with a green vine scabbard tied to its back. And not far below, more than 1,000 troops in the Holy Land and seventy-nine apprentices of Xiaoyaozi were tremblingly waiting for the master to speak.
In front of Xiaoyaozi and under his feet, the snow that had been covered for many years had turned blood-red, and the residues of flesh and bone were mixed in the ice and snow without distinguishing each other, and perhaps with the passage of time, they would eventually become a part of the snow-capped mountains.
It can be seen that there are three long swords stuck in the snow on the other side of the portal, but there is no trace of human existence.
Xiaoyaozi has been pondering this portal for a long time. He saw with his own eyes that day that Snow Mountain Divine Ape leaving the Yaochi Holy Land with Fang Su and Xiao Liu, and after thinking for a long time, he decided that he wanted to pass through the portal here, no secret method was needed, only speed!
But what kind of speed can you get through the portal?
Xiaoyaozi experimented for two days, and more than 100 long swords were thrown at the portal by him, most of them were shocked into pieces, and only the three long swords that could pass safely were at intermediate speed.
Is it possible to pass at such a speed?
Xiaoyaozi didn't dare to try it easily, and after returning to the holy place to rest, he took the second apprentice to the portal again. He threw the second apprentice at the portal like a long sword, and then ......
Then the second apprentice was shaken into a puddle of minced meat by the force of the countershock.
Obviously, the speed at which a person passes through the portal is not the same as the speed at which a long sword passes, and those two days of testing were in vain.
The door is here, and the method of passing is already known, how can Xiaoyaozi be willing to get by. He brought the army and all the apprentices of the Yaochi Holy Land to the portal, and clearly told everyone that this was the gateway to leave the prison of the Holy Land, but how to leave, there must be pioneers to find a way.
Pioneers, of course! It can be said that everyone in the prison has the desire to leave here. They collectively bowed down to Xiaoyaozi and declared that they were willing to share their worries for the head of the sect (master).
Only Yang Hao (junior) noticed the faint color of blood in front of the portal.
The first person was thrown by Xiaoyaozi, and with a loud bang, it became a piece of minced meat.
The second person also became minced meat......
All the way up to the fifth man......
Everyone originally thought that there was hope, but they didn't expect that it was not hope, but the despair of death. Everyone was trembling, and they didn't dare to stand up and say that they were worried about the real people in charge.
Xiaoyaozi pondered for a long time, counting the two apprentices, he threw a total of six people. Three of the six gradually increased their speed from slow; The other three slowed down from the fastest.
The reason why he was so in control was because when he threw his sword before, he didn't pass at the fastest speed, but he just passed at a medium speed, so he thought that the same should be true for human passes.
Xiaoyaozi divides his power into a hundred gears, although there will be many omissions in this way, but he will only know if it is feasible until he has tried it like this. In such an experiment, it only takes 100 people to know the results.
Yes, it only takes a hundred people to dedicate themselves! If you're lucky, maybe the next one will pass.
Xiaoyaozi turned his head to look at everyone, and everyone took a step back in unison, and no one dared to do this mortal experiment.
Yang Hao was the last among the apprentices, and naturally stood at the end of the apprentice team. He is relatively short, and hiding behind him should not be seen by Xiaoyaozi for a while. There are not a few people who think the same as Yang Hao, especially the soldiers who stand behind the apprentices, and they are even more glad that they did not become Xiaoyaozi's apprentices.
Everyone took a step back, and Yang Hao took a step back, and even closed his right hand slightly, to hold the handle of the pig-killing knife on his waist. But his hand just swept over the hilt of the knife, lifted the robe, and pushed away the senior brothers, stepped forward under the stunned eyes of everyone, knelt down in front of Xiaoyaozi, and said respectfully: "Master, the disciple is willing to solve the worries of the master." ”
Xiaoyaozi glanced at everyone and snorted coldly: "Aren't you afraid of death?" ”
"I'm afraid, I'm scared to death." Yang Hao raised his head, and his slightly trembling lips showed that he was really afraid, but his eyes were very sincere and serious.
"Although the disciple doesn't want to die, opening this prison is the meaning of my Yaochi Holy Land for thousands of years. Now that Master has found the portal, it is your responsibility as a disciple to help you find a way to open the portal. ”
Xiaoyaozi looked down at Yang Hao and asked in a deep voice, "Even if you need to exchange your life?" ”
"Yes, even if it takes life in exchange. Life is precious, but responsibility is higher. Although the disciples are afraid of death, they understand that in addition to life and death, people should also be responsible. The apprentice's life seems to be given by heaven, but the apprentice understands that it is clearly given by the master, and the apprentice should have been born and died for the master. At this time, it is the time for the master to employ people, although the apprentice is at the end of the school and has the least qualifications, but he should stand up and share his worries for the holy land and the teacher. ”
Yang Hao knelt down and stepped back some distance, his eyes tearful and said, "Master, since the square came back to life, the apprentice has not been an apprentice. Let the disciples be here and now, thank you for your life! ”
Yang Hao didn't wait for Xiaoyaozi to answer, he knocked his head three times, Bingling and broken bones pierced his forehead bloody, but he didn't wipe it, looked at Xiaoyaozi and said, "Master, the apprentice is ready." ”
Xiaoyaozi took a deep breath, and Yang Hao pressed his hands tightly on the snow, for fear that the shaking under tension would make Xiaoyaozi suspicious. The reason why he performed such a play was because when he took a step back before, he suddenly thought of a killing of Xiaoyaozi during the night banquet of Yaochi Holy Land on Chinese New Year's Eve when he was five years old.
The situation was different from this one, it was not about personal life and death, but only about the discussion of the "policy" of the Yaochi Holy Land. But at that time, it was also the meaning of the collective opposition of all the apprentices to Xiaoyaozi, and the eighty-one apprentices of Xiaoyaozi that time, except for a few people led by the senior brother who thought that what the master said was the truth, the rest of the people did not talk about the grave grass, even the white bones were not left.
In fact, not only Yang Hao remembered the old events, but everyone present was older than Yang Hao, who could not know. It's just that things didn't involve life and death back then, and even if you stand up and support Xiaoyaozi, it's not a big deal. But if you stand up today and accidentally make it self-defeating, won't you kill yourself? What everyone thinks is that Xiaoyaozi can't kill because of this matter, at most he will catch the strong man.
Hiding in the crowd, there is always a much better chance of survival than standing up and looking for death.
Yang Hao remembered this past, and weighed the gains and losses in his heart.
He knew that the portal here led to the "fairy world" (it had always been his and Lu Shi's conjecture), and Xiaoyaozi found the portal, and sooner or later he would find a way to pass through. Hiding in the crowd, Xiaoyaozi may not see him, but correspondingly, if Xiaoyaozi can leave this place, he may not necessarily take him with him. Bringing him with him may not necessarily reuse him, if you don't keep him any time, he will be used as cannon fodder again, rather than living, why not fight, just like laughing when the square was skinned that day, maybe you can find a greater opportunity in a glimmer of life.
Therefore, he lined up all the "senior brothers" and said such words as dying for his master.
[Author's digression]: The second chapter arrived on time, saying that oranges are also chasing a few novels, the author is old and willful, and he can send it at what time he wants, and he will update it every day, and he is in a hurry to wait.
It's too much.
Tangerine wants to say, when can Tangerine have such capricious capital......
