Tales from the Third World (58)

It was still a pair of bonfires, in which dry wood exploded, and a pair of young men and women sat opposite each other around the campfire.

"Do you feel anything different?" Caifeng looked at the roasted game on the bonfire, and asked without taking her eyes off.

"Every time I came here before, I felt that someone was snooping, I always thought that they were secretly observing you, but I think it's not like that, if it's to observe you, why do I have that hairy sense of peeping in my heart, this feeling is a kind of malice" Su Hang was a little distracted, he remembered that he had a good conversation with Gu Lin and others all the way, and he didn't want to believe what Caifeng said. But thinking back all the way, when I looked back at the group of people in Gulin, I always felt that their eyes were a little weird, how to say that it was the feeling of not being able to ask for it, and there was a trace of cruelty.

Now Su Hang obviously didn't feel the feeling of prying eyes, thinking that Caifeng's warning had played a role before.

"Su Hang, do you know what the situation is in the place of execution?"

Su Hang remembered the description of Buddhist cultivators since childhood, true and false, but it is easy for people to believe, if more than half of a lie is true, then it can make people convinced, for the north for Buddhist cultivation, although it is not heinous, but it is enough to make people disgusted.

Later, when he came to Shendu, he knew the place of execution for the first time, and he felt that it was more of a collision between two ideas or a competition between different rulers, so he sorted out his thoughts and said: "Cultivating Buddha in the north, the two have different ideas, and conflicts are inevitable. ”

"What do you think?" The barbecue in Caifeng's mouth stopped chewing, and then sighed, spit out the barbecue that was still delicious before, and suddenly felt a little tasteless.

"Is there something wrong?" Su Hang was worried that his answer would be unpleasant to the other party.

"Actually, I'm very satisfied with your answer, and your willingness to think about it has been very surprising to me. I should have thought you were going to tell me that the Northland monks were brutal and distorted, and that they should be destroyed! But also because your thinking makes me feel deeply sad, the truth will be buried forever in the gloom of people with hearts" I don't know if I remembered something, Caifeng's cold face had a trace of recollection and confusion.

Su Hang looked at Caifeng with burning eyes, he wanted to know the story behind it, but he knew that now was not the time to speak.

After standing up and walking a few steps aimlessly, he seemed to have finally made up his mind, sat back opposite Su Hang, and then spoke: "Actually, our team, except for you, everyone else is a sinner of the Sacred Mountain, including me."

"Unbelievable, right? Or are you trying to ask why we didn't run away? Caifeng looked back at Su Hang, although he didn't speak, but his eyes were undoubtedly admitted, sighed, and he continued: "But I'm different from others, they are indeed damned villains, of course, I'm also heinous to Shenshan."

"I should have been born in what you call the Northern Frontier, when I was a child, a war broke out between the two sides, unfortunately, at that time my home was very close to the battlefield, almost everyone in the town was destroyed in that war, I should have died, but at that time there were people who appreciated the hatred in my eyes, so I survived."

"Then why did you end up being a sinner on the mountain? Revenge? Su Hang didn't want to interrupt Caifeng's narration, but because Caifeng herself remembered some unpleasant things, biting his lip, he just wanted to divert her attention.

"Hehe, sure enough, every time I think of these things, I can't control my emotions very well."

Caifeng smiled inexplicably, but there was no happiness on her face.

"The person who saved me didn't suddenly find out about his conscience or anything, but because he thought I seemed to be of good use. He is also a sinner like the group of people in Gulin, who are not tolerated by the sacred mountain. It should have been killed, but there was a ghost fan in the sacred mountain who felt that it was a bit of a waste, so all the prisoners were planted with tracking spells, and the spells naturally did not have only one tracking ability, at the beginning of a group of people who escaped, died ugly, and during that time the north had a rare advantage, and pushed the battle line to the south a lot, but people were afraid of death, and there were fewer escapes. Later, I learned that the territory of the entire northern frontier is less than one-ten-thousandth of the territory occupied by the sacred mountain, hehe, due to the stalemate of the battle, the people of the northern land always feel that there is still hope, in fact, we are really not necessarily as strong as a criminal group on the god forsaken continent that stretches for an endless time, after all, they are in the shadows, such as the place where I will stay in the future."

"By the way, Su Hang, when did you know about Northland?" Caifeng stopped her narration and asked.

"Probably since I came to Shendu, I've never heard of it before," Su Hang replied subconsciously.

"Sure enough, I regarded the Northland as a pig who trained their elites, so let's not talk about this, let's continue my story."

The man who left Caifeng behind was a member of a killer organization on the Divine Forsaken Continent, who was ambushed and captured when he received an assassination of people on the outskirts of the Divine Mountain, and he needed to spend a hundred years in the place of execution to gain his freedom, or be killed immediately.

He was very lucky, he was only the third bloodstone cultivator, he actually lived on the battlefield for a hundred years, and in that last year, he met Caifeng, who had lost everything, and he had a magical heart of compassion and left Caifeng behind. She then brought him back to the killer organization, because she lived in a dirty place, she knew many things that people who lived in the light did not know, such as the Northland.

If the Divine Mountain really wants to pull out the infidels, the Northern Land may not be able to hold out for a year, but since the Divine Mountain abandoned the Divine Continent eight thousand years ago and almost unified it, this war has continued until now, and the completely unequal strength of the two sides has lasted for a long time, and it is always when the Northern Land is about to hold on, the Divine Mountain will always usher in an unreasonable defeat.

The people of Dolan are naturally not stupid, they have produced many amazing and brilliant people, they understand the purpose of the sacred mountain, whether the previous war against the divine domain was expelled or that was an invasion, but the gods abandoned the continent after all, because the war was not unified, and because of different beliefs, the Buddha said: Compassion is cherished!

So even after the war, Kamiyama still embarked on the road of unification after simple cultivation, iron-blooded, and expelled all the defeated forces to Dolan, Kamiyama accepted most of the begging, but did not accept a bald head, yes, even a bald head.

The world is unified, people are at ease, the monks who grew up in this environment are always a lot less ruthless and decisive, even if the monks themselves are full of crises, but that is not enough, so the sacred mountain has created such a battlefield, saying that it is a battlefield, in fact, it is more like a colosseum, a colosseum for young people to experience war, and Dolan's people are trapped beasts in captivity.

"You can escape, why do you want to trap Dolan?" Su Hang asked.

"I've also thought about this question, and I always think that life is the future, so why should we die. It wasn't until the first time I went on a mission that I saw a life withering in my hands, and the cultivator had no afterlife. So where to flee? Go to the rule of the sacred mountain, do you want to survive? Since there is no afterlife, you always have to live in the place you like according to your own ideas. ”

Su Hang felt the light in Caifeng, the kind of thing called faith, he always thought that faith was a sustenance and comfort for people to find in their hearts when they were confused, it had no substantive meaning, but it just happened that I was at a loss, and you happened to be here. But Caifeng didn't seem to care about her life.

"Is it true that cultivators don't have an afterlife?" Su Hang asked, since the day he entered the monastery, everyone said this, and he had always believed it, but for some reason, today he hoped that this deep-rooted concept was wrong.

"Everyone hopes that this is fake, even if the life of a cultivator can be said to be long, even endless, as long as he breaks through the heavenly level, his life span is almost endless, but as long as it is life, then it is fragile, and the place of awakening has not been in war for a long time, and this dream is very big but the heavenly step is still a big man, even in the center of the power of the god capital" Caifeng said quietly, he had seen the heavenly steps produced in front of her, and he had also seen the heavenly steps withered in front of her, and the number of heavenly level masters always maintained a delicate balance, on the contrary, it is the low-level human rank and the third bloodstone cultivator, and the number has increased a lot.

"Has there been a few breakthroughs lately? After the unification of the Divine Mountain and the abandonment of the dream, it is rare to hear of a battle above the heavenly level, and even if there is, most of them are resolved in the martial arts arena, and there is very little news of death "Although Su Hang has always been a low-level monk, but also because he is at the bottom, there is always a lot of leisure and gossip.

"There are not many people who break through, and then many people die inexplicably, not the exhaustion of longevity, nor assassination, just die like that, and there is no source of death"

"Didn't anyone look it up? Most of the Divine Chosen are already big bosses, how can their deaths be silent? ”

Su Hang couldn't understand this kind of thing where many people died inexplicably and could not stir up the slightest wave.

"Naturally, someone checked, no one wants to die inexplicably, even if it is a person who should have been ready to cut himself off, at first it was treated as a routine unnatural death, and then there were more people who died, and they began to keep it secret, and then the master went to check, and finally alarmed the group of people above the Chosen One, they tried all kinds of methods, and still found nothing, knowing that there was a Chosen Cultivator who fell down in front of him when he asked for advice from the predecessors who crossed the Chosen One, and never got up again, and since then the unprovoked death of the Chosen has become the biggest secret in the monastic world." I don't know where Caifeng's news came from, it's sensational.

"No wonder I always feel that the deans of the Heavenly Dao Academy and the Third Academy always have a sense of urgency"

"How many people can see through the question of life and death? Isn't a group of masters forged with the blood of our northern Xinjiang unable to keep it in the end? ”

There was a mocking smile on the corner of Caifeng's mouth, in fact, Dolan's people were also afraid of death, but they didn't have a choice.

"Don't talk about this, we have almost three days to get to the place of execution, you can be considered a trial, you have the right to choose, stay away from the group of people in Gulin, although we may be enemies in the end, but I don't know why, I hope you live well"

Caifeng turned away from the bonfire, and under the flickering firelight, her back was beautiful.

Guli Mountain Back Mountain, one of the most mysterious for the entire God Abandonment Dream Realm, is also the pinnacle of power, even the Lord of the Ghost Fan can not easily set foot in this small territory, it should be that there are many big guys on the chosen side of Guli Mountain in the back mountain, all the people who know this secret are very curious, why so many big guys live in this projectile land, and everyone seems to live in harmony, and the usual back mountain is very quiet.

Today is also quiet, but there is a crowd of people, about 30 young girls gathered in the open space of the back mountain, they all have very close looks, not how beautiful, Shan always feels very comfortable to see them, willing to get close, and even peace of mind.

Although the girls got together in groups to discuss, the volume was well controlled and not noisy.

"Squeamish sister, do you want to be this prophet?"

"Not very willingly" squeamishly smiled, her smile was innocent, making people believe that everything she said came from the heart.

The girl who spoke next to her was about three points similar to her, but unlike the squeamish brow with a hint of melancholy, she looked very lively, as if there was no suffering in the world.

"My father said that he once said that your mother's answer was similar to your answer, and I really don't understand you, how good a prophet is! Although it is said that the longevity of this life is the same as that of mortals, but if you become a prophet, even if you are a cultivator, you will have an afterlife, and this life is also the power of the world, why would you not want to? The girl tilted her head and tried to think, and after a moment she found that she seemed to have no idea of what she could do with her own wisdom, and she bowed her head in despair.

looked at the cousin beside him squeamishly and didn't answer, just smiled shallowly, and the smile was very sweet.

The squeamish cousin thought that she was posing, and the squeamish would come over to explain the reason, she had used this trick many times, almost tried more than 100 lands, but today she did not receive the expected feedback, she was very surprised to sneak a glance at the squeamish, and found that she also happened to look over, and instantly knew that her careful thoughts had been seen by her, so she simply asked directly: "You talk to me?" ”

"Maybe it's because our jade hopes are different, I think this life is very good"

Looking at a high platform in the open space squeamishly, there was a beautiful woman about forty years old walking to the high platform step by step, dressed in full costume, indescribably elegant and noble, and she could also feel the pressure of the mountains and tsunamis, which was the pressure of God's choice.

"Squeamish, you are not two years older than me, why do you talk like the teachings on Guli Mountain, and you always like to say that the rest of the rest is guessed" The girl was very dissatisfied with the squeamish answer, pouted, and twisted her head to the side

"Oh, it's not that I'm just half of it, it's that I really like this life, although it's good to have an afterlife, but in the next life, I need to erase everything in this life, so am I still me? Besides, he has no afterlife, how can he be in this world for a hundred years? The last half of the squeamish sentence was very soft, as if he was muttering alone.

"Still don't understand, and it feels like you're saying something I didn't hear"

The girl wanted to continue, but the beautiful woman on the high platform coughed lightly and interrupted her question.

"Today is the day to choose the Holy Maiden of Guli Mountain, and you are all descendants of the Tiansuan family, you know what this means, exchange the endless life of the cultivator for the supreme glory and future life of this life, not to mention the authority of this life, the next life alone is enough to make this cultivation world crazy!" The beautiful woman's words were not very inflammatory, a kind of peace on the matter, but in some hidden caves behind, several figures appeared at the door of their respective caves, their figures were blurred, as if they were not in the world.

Even though they are illusory, you can still feel their strong mood swings, and an emotion called unwillingness spreads between them.

One of them looked at his palm and sighed, there was a mysterious rune flashing on his palm, different from themselves, although this rune was on their body, but it fell in the present world, and even faintly wanted to guide the illusory form to the present world, there was an obscure feeling on the rune, as if there was a link to this unknown space.

"Brother, do you believe in this rune?"

"Why bother? If you believe it, why should you and I be in the way we are now?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, at least I can feel my own existence, I still remember the appearance of the teacher when he came back, it was terrifyingly strong, as if he could move mountains and reclaim the sea with a raised hand, and there was no problem with our memory at all, but I didn't feel any anger in him, so I chose to be like this, I don't know how long I can last!"

"Hehe, when I didn't take this step, Shouyuan didn't count, and there was no hope for a breakthrough, and I suddenly felt that it was a pain to live, but there was no hope in this life, and I didn't even have the next life, so I didn't dare to die. Until one day I made up my mind, in the face of death, but I didn't want to break through, when I broke through, Gu Lishan's identity token turned into a rune and printed on his right hand, and received a lot of information, but he didn't dare to respond to its call, he didn't die before, and he didn't even have the will to die."

"Haha become a god! What a seductive statement! But the prophets who went up to heaven to hear exchanged a lifetime of longevity for an eternal red dust."

The conversation between the two illusory figures, like their bodies, seems to be absent from this space, and normally no one can hear the conversation between them. But the beautiful woman who was presiding over the selection of the saints suddenly looked back at them, and there was a meaningful smile on the corner of her mouth.

The two of them were shocked in their hearts, I don't know if the prophet was shocked to understand their communication, the strength of the beautiful woman was actually far lower than that of the two of them, and their communication was very careful, and the most important thing was that although the beautiful woman suddenly turned her head in their direction, her eyes did not fall on them.

They were confident that no one else would be able to know about their communication, but the smile on the corner of the beautiful woman's mouth was so weird that it made waves in their hearts that had been unwavering for almost 10,000 years.

The beautiful woman's face was still facing their direction, and she didn't seem to mean to turn her head, her lips opened slightly, and the two illusory figures skipped a beat.

"The choice of the saint is not based on talent, appearance or anything else, only on two things, bloodline and fate" The beautiful woman said here for a long pause, her eyes finally fell on the two illusory figures, two figures that do not exist in this time and space, there should not be eyes to fall on them, but the beautiful woman's gaze seems to have passed through the shackles of time and space and fell on them, and then the smile on the corner of her mouth turned into disdain, and when the two of them were about to jump to the present world, The beautiful woman turned her head back without warning, and continued to speak: "The bloodline is very simple, as long as you have the bloodline of my prophet, the most important thing is that you take turns to come to the stage and contact this crystal pillar behind me, and determine whether you are destined according to the reaction of the crystal pillar."

The crystal pillar behind the beautiful woman is brought to the altar of the god capital every time the prophet worships the heavens, and in the past, these girls saw it in the grand sacrifice ceremony, a red light connected the heavens and the earth through the crystal pillar, and then transmitted some messages that only the prophet could understand.

"Come up in turn, touch the crystal pillar with your hands, and immerse your mind in it, whoever comes up first!" The beautiful woman reached out and patted the crystal pillar behind her.

"Sister, I'll go up first!" The girl who had been talking to the squeamish one before was the first to jump up and rush to the stage happily.

Covering her hand on the crystal pillar, the girl silently thought in her heart that she must succeed, Xu was a little scared, she closed her eyes, and suddenly felt a strange burning sensation in her hand, and the girls in the audience also let out an exclamation.

The girl's name is very distinctive, and "Pro" is just one word.

"I didn't expect that the first person on stage would have such a strong reaction with Tianjing, no surprise you are the most suitable person to be a prophet in this generation," the beautiful woman's voice said slowly.

Hearing the voice of the beautiful woman, Lin was a little excited, she was actually still young, and she couldn't understand well what it meant to be powerful and have an afterlife, but every time the prophet sacrificed to the sky, the momentum was huge, she liked it very much, and every time the voice of envy came to her ears, by the way, she was a little more envious, so she also wanted to be a prophet.

When she opened her eyes and saw the crystal pillar emitting a dazzling red light, she was very excited, and she began to imagine that she had taken a group of big people from Gulishan that she usually saw once to the altar of the divine capital to worship the heavens.

Now Lin is in a very good mood, and he feels like stepping on cotton when he steps down. She now needs to share her joy with others, and naturally the first thing that comes to her mind is squeamishness.

He jumped to the squeamish side and said, "If I really become a prophet, I will definitely take the squeamish sister with me when I worship the heavens, so that you and I can feel the attention of the people!" ”

The relationship between the "good" girl Pro and the squeamish is excellent, and the girl is simple-minded, and the squeamish is always difficult to say something else to affect its mood.

"According to common sense, the compatibility between Lin and Tianjing is so high, the rest of you don't have to try it on stage, but I still hope that each of you will try it, otherwise I should say that I am unfair," the beautiful woman looked at the girls chattering in the audience.

Xu Shilin's fit really satisfied the beauty, and at this time she even stepped aside to start.

Other people came to the stage one after another, although they could basically cause Tianjing's feedback, but there were only three people in total who could emit red light, and the red light of the other two was far from the feedback caused by Lin, until they came to the stage squeamishly.
