Forest of the Dead.

The pale-faced catchers scattered like birds, and the slowest runners were overturned one after another. After eating the bowl and thinking about the pot, the tail hook with paralyzing toxin made several prey in front of him incapacitated, and then chased after the tail, leaving one behind. It was so preoccupied with the hunt that it didn't know that a man with a demonic aura had sneaked up behind it and approached the immobile prey.

A catcher looked up tremblingly and saw Fang Feng who was smiling. Fang Feng's eyes were very strange, like a child seeing peanut candy that can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.

Without giving Yu Kuai a chance to think about it, Fang Feng put two fingers into his mouth, slashed his throat, retching very hard, and the sound he made was far away in the quiet forest. However, the vomiting came too late, so he had to keep picking and picking in embarrassment, and he had to watch in horror at this unexplained behavior. When Fang Feng removed his wet and slimy fingers, a black, snake-like strange thing stretched out of his mouth, writhed a few times, and then stabbed the back of the catcher's hand like lightning.

If you catch a scream, you can only scream.

A hole had been drilled in the back of his hand, and the flat head of the snake-like foreign body was stirred under his skin (but no blood was to be seen coming out of the wound), then pulsating rhythmically. And Fang Feng, who kept his mouth half-open, squinted, and his throat was agitated, and the rhythm of agitation was consistent with the rhythm of catching the subcutaneous pulsation, two seconds, two seconds.

Although Fang Feng is not a monster, he can cast spells through the intra-abdominal nematode as a medium. The wire worm was concocted by the Great Immortal, containing demonic power, and at the same time, because of the parasitic relationship on his body, it can be regarded as a part of his body. In other words, he is equivalent to an extra yokai organ with the ability to feed out of thin air.

This is the immortal method passed on to him by the Great Immortal, [Hook Kiss].

In just a moment, the body of the fast catcher dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, until it shrunk into a skin-wrapped skeleton, and its flesh and blood essence had been completely attributed to Fang Feng. Fang Feng swallowed back the nematode with satisfaction, feeling a sense of peace in his heart, especially when he could look at the frightened face of the catcher. But now is not the time to sit back and reflect. Considering that the mimic demon thorn would come back at any time, Fang Feng glanced at a few catchers on the ground with great regret, and then left.

When he met Yu Qingfeng just now, he originally planned to use [Hook Kiss] to give Yu Qingfeng a ruling, but considering that Yu Qingfeng's strength was enough to single-handedly fight the Overlord Spider, he might not be able to beat the other party, so he forced the killing intent down. But it doesn't matter, as long as you are strong, there is always a chance to kill Yu Qingfeng. Not only Yu Qingfeng, but all the people who once looked down on him......

They all have to die!

"If you want to subdue demons and eliminate demons, you must first sacrifice some people and sit back and watch the demons grow."

There's a famous human experiment: a train, two rails, with a child playing on track A and a group of children playing on track B, and you hold a joystick that determines which track the train is heading towards. In fact, the experiment wanted to measure the value of life in the eyes of the subject: do you think the lives of the majority are more important than the few, or do you think both are equally important? This experiment in human nature is so famous that it has been played to the point in many films, television productions, and novels and plays.

Now this experiment is so rotten that it can't be worse, and Tu Shi, who thinks he will never have a chance to test it in his life, has been chosen.

Option A, put a long line to catch a big fish, sacrifice a group of people, fatten the demon thorn, you can lead to the culprit, and then save countless people from suffering; Option B, kill the Thorn before it can cause more kills, but wary the monster and miss the only chance to cut down the roots.

A or B?

Tu Shi hesitated, because it seemed that none of the options he wanted. No one has the obligation to be sacrificed, and no one has the power to decide whether others sacrifice or not – forcing others to sacrifice is tantamount to slaughter.

"Kill one, or kill hundred? Kill the widow, or kill the many? Having a hard time choosing? This is because you only know how to kill, and killing doesn't solve anything. Haiqing Zhenren: "Where there is a cause, there is an effect, and the end of the incident that you started with killing will never be stable and peaceful, but will only be stained with blood with your sword." ”

Master Right is using this matter to educate himself?

Could it be that this multiple-choice question is also a test?

It seems that Daomen disciples have to go through more than just three tests.

"Master, you gave me two options, but this time I'm going to find a third option." Tu Shi replied: "I want to have the best of both worlds, both to destroy the demon thorn and to kill the monsters, so as to protect the people." ”

Master Right was speechless, and only after a while did he say: "I don't know if you have noticed it, you have been deeply trapped in cause and effect, and you can't stay out of it anymore." ”

"It doesn't matter! Master, the most important thing now is to tell me how to get the best of both worlds, I know you must have a way! Tu Shi looked at Master Right eagerly.

Haiqing Zhenren sighed: "That's it." Although there is a way, it is more difficult, you listen carefully. That monster is cunning by nature, and it should be ready for the Demon Thorn to not exist in ten, and it can completely give up ninety percent of the Demon Thorn, because as long as it gets the only remaining achievement, it can absorb the demon power and return to its heyday. All you have to do is kill all the thorns. ”

Option C, kill all the thorns?

Tu Shi high-fived: "That's right!" Damn, if I kill a demon thorn, of course the monster will avoid me; But when I have killed the thorns and there is not much left, the youkai will have to intervene, or else all it will do is useless! And it doesn't have to sacrifice anyone! Why didn't I think of that? Or the master has a good trick! ”

"Don't be so happy. It's impossible for you to kill all of them right now. Haiqing Zhenren said lightly.

Tu Shi's interest is still high: "As long as there is a way!" I'll work hard to level up first, and try to fight the Demon Thorn as soon as possible! ”

Haiqing Zhenren sighed again, let Tu Shi stretch out his hand, and hit the golden flute, and then Tu Shi was surprised to find that his meridian seals had been unlocked, and [Cangtong] and [Shrinking the Ground into Inch] could be used.

"Master, don't you want me to be contaminated with cause and effect?"

"There are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you don't force it; When the hour comes, it will be difficult for you to stay in the golden immortals. If you are destined to do this, how can I save you from it? What's more, even if I don't help you break the seal, won't you continue to take risks? ”

Although Master You's tone was calm and cold, Tu Shi still heard the taste of "no good luck" from these words. He couldn't help but be a little moved, and asked a question that he had always wanted to ask: "Master, am I the biggest cause and effect you are contaminated?" ”

Haiqing Zhenren was stunned, shook his head, turned his back, and waved his right hand to signal Tu Shi to go out. Tu Shi left in amusement, thinking that the master must have secretly been sad at Neihua in the mirror.

Remembering the North City, Yamen.

The highest speaker of this authority is Bao Fengxue, the county leader, and people call him Bao Daren. He sat in the study and drank tea while flipping through a famous calligraphy. The scholars and doctors who came out of Yongzhou have some elegant and elegant problems, they should bathe and burn incense before reading, and they should add incense to their red sleeves when reading, in short, they can't be casual. Lord Bao is the same, at this time he was very bored and wanted to find something to see, and he didn't want to lose his grade, so he retreated and found a copybook, which is similar to a book and a non-book, which is also considered both.

The officials on duty in the yamen all knew that whenever Master Bao looked through the copybook, it meant that the northern city of Yibei was safe today.

Mr. Bao has a typical Yongzhou appearance, with burnt yellow skin, thin cheeks, a pair of small eyes squinted, as if he has eaten enough wind and sand, although he is not old, he looks old, and with a mustache that has been growing for several years, he is very old and serious. He is wearing a patched official uniform, with inferior jade, and tasting inferior tea, who dares not to praise the two-sleeved breeze in this style? Everything else in the study was unremarkable, but the Ruyao teacup in his hand was the most precious, it was the antique he brought out from home, only he could touch it, and the others didn't want to get closer.

There are two tables in the study, the large table facing the door is Mr. Bao's, and the small table with the back of the bookcase is Master's. At this time, the master was standing in front of the cabinet and summarized the local chronicles one by one by year, and it was easy to complete, so he took off the folding fan from his belt and unfolded it in a chic manner, comforting himself who was sweating lightly.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and a headcatcher with a blank face broke in:

"Big ...... Adults, they're all dead, youkai, youkai are too powerful! ”

"All dead?!"

Smack.

The master was so panicked that he knocked the folding fan to the ground, his face was pale, and he looked at the senior officer helplessly.

Lord Bao was also taken aback, but quickly calmed down and shouted, "What's the name of the ghost!" Let me ask you, you have made it clear, what is going on? When such a big event happened, not a drop of water from the teacup in his hand never came out, which shows the depth of his cultivation.

Perhaps it was the adult's calmness that infected the head catcher, and the head catcher gave himself two slaps, which made his eyes red, but magically stopped the trembling of his voice: "My lord, it is true, below me, I am dead!" ”

Master Bao laughed, then the laughter stopped abruptly, and roared heavily: "Everyone else is dead, why are you still alive?!" ”

"The subordinates saw that the opportunity was not good, so they could only retreat. It's a small matter of a subordinate's death, but he can't delay the adult from knowing about it......" The head catcher wanted to whitewash his retreat in a righteous and stern tone as much as possible, but he was shocked by Lord Bao's roar, thinking of this adult's scheming and past methods, his voice couldn't help but start to tremble again.

Youkai can kill him at best, but Lord Bao can make him regret living in the world.

The master can be appointed by Master Bao, so he naturally has his talents, and at this time he also calmed down, and hurriedly persuaded: "My lord, the matter of punishment will be discussed in the long run, and the top priority is how to cover up this matter." This matter can be big or small, three catches have died before, and now they are ...... If someone holds the handle—"

"Don't worry. Since this matter can be big or small, it can be 'small', and there is still room for maneuver, and it is not yet a matter of life and death. It's just a dozen lives, and I can hold it down. Master Bao looked at the master coldly, and ordered: "Draft a letter for me, it is sent to the family, just say——"

"Your Excellency!" An official shouted outside the study. It is an unwritten iron rule that adults cannot trespass in their study.

Master Bao glanced at the head of the catcher majestically and dissatisfied. At this time, the mind is turning rapidly, and the ability to figure out the intention has reached the extreme, and he immediately returned to his normal complexion, and shouted: "What's the matter? ”

The official replied: "My lord, the lord of Lei City handed over a post, saying that he had obtained a good set of crystal chess pieces, and asked your lord to go to his mansion to talk." ”

Smack.

This time, it was Lord Bao's turn to shake his hand, and his beloved Ruyao teacup was shattered.
