Chapter 240: The Traitor's Sin Is Unforgivable
"Sir, dear pirate, please spare me, I can give you all my savings, just let me live."
Shuttling through the mysterious island covered with coconut trees, Wang Xu and Blackbeard walk in front, followed by two humanoid sacrifices hanging from bamboo poles and carried by pirates.
Blackbeard's sacrifice was a young priest who boarded the Queen Anne's Revenge in an attempt to convert Blackbeard to the glory of the Lord.
Obviously, the priest failed, and Blackbeard did not kill him not because of mercy, but because the Fountain of Youth's need for a living person to be sacrificed.
Compared with the righteous and awe-inspiring priest who got on the ship and cried bitterly to survive, Wang Xu's sacrifice was much better.
Zacrow just closed his eyes and muttered words, praying for a good home for his family.
As for himself, Zacrow was no longer hopeful, and he knew that his only value was to be consumed on the altar as a sacrifice and become an unlucky ghost to be sacrificed.
All the way forward, after walking on the island for more than 20 minutes, the ruins of the sea god came into view.
It is a large cave with statues of sea beasts towering outside, and murals about the legend of the sea god are inscribed inside.
The group walked in the cave with torches, and soon reached the end of the cave, but did not see the so-called fountain of immortality.
"What about the Fountain of Youth?" Blackbeard looked back slightly, his face questioning.
Wang Xu did not answer his words, but walked up and raised the golden cup, and according to the inscription on the cup, he read: "The water of life, guide the way!" ”
Bang la blah
On the two golden cups, one is written with the water of life, and the other is written with the guidance of the way.
When they were recited together, springs gushed out of the dry ground, and these springs converged upwards along the stone walls as if they were alive, forming a curtain of water.
"It's amazing!" Looking at the water curtain above, Blackbeard smiled.
Wang Xu was also smiling, put away the two golden cups, and said, "Let's go, it's time to move towards eternal life!" ”
Sou!!!
Reaching out to the spring, the moment I touched the spring, there was a suction force from above.
In the next second, Wang Xu disappeared in place, and the whole person seemed to turn into a ray of light and plunged into the world of spring water, and then looked back at it was already another world.
Stone pillars, statues, altars, streams, white mist.
Wang Xu glanced around, and his eyes were white, as if he was in a myth.
Retracting his gaze and looking ahead, ten paces away, there was a strange stone in the shape of a round arch.
It stood there like an arch, and a little drop of water flowed out of the crack in the stone, dripping to the ground and turning into a stream.
"Fountain of Youth!" It was not Wang Xu who spoke, but Blackbeard and the others who appeared.
Wang Xu nodded lightly, walked forward one step, and in the next second, there was a crisp clicking sound under his feet.
Bowing his head slightly, he saw that everyone's feet were covered with white bones, as if the passage to the Fountain of Youth, which was paved with these bones.
"At least dozens of corpses, are these explorers who found the Fountain of Youth?" Angelica glanced around, also stunned by the sight.
Jack followed behind Will with him, nodded to his feet when he heard the sound, and whispered, "I prefer that this skeleton is a poor creature that has been sacrificed." ”
"If, as you say, there were not hundreds of people before us who lived forever?" Angelica was a little incredulous, and her tone was inquiring.
Wang Xu glanced back at Blackbeard, the smile on the corner of his mouth was slightly hideous, and he whispered: "Seriously, immortality and immortality are actually two concepts. Drink the Fountain of Youth, there must be immortal people, but definitely not as many as you think. ”
Immortality is just not old, and you will still die if you are seriously injured.
It is recorded that the person who drank the Fountain of Youth, which still exists to this day, is Calypso, who served the god of the sea with all her heart after drinking the Fountain of Youth, and finally received Poseidon's favor and became the goddess of the sea.
Except for her, I have never heard of anyone who has drunk the Fountain of Immortality and has the ability to live forever.
This kind of person may have, living incognito somewhere, enjoying the beauty of eternal life.
However, Wang Xu is more inclined to these immortals, most of whom died under disasters and sword soldiers, rather than really living with the sky. After all, this is the Age of Discovery, and pirates, navies, and artillery battles are all there is.
In this kind of troubled times, an ordinary person who lives forever has a few who can stay out of the situation and guarantee that they will stay away from disasters.
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, let's enjoy the feast of immortality!"
Wang Xu held two golden cups high, with a cruel look in his eyes, and said loudly: "Sailor, bring my sacrifice!" ”
Blackbeard's zombie steward carried Zacro up and placed him at Wang Xu's feet.
Wang Xu lowered his head slightly and said softly: "Do you have any last words?" ”
"I pray that after I die, you will give my family a sum of money, not too much, just enough to raise my children." Zaquero's face turned pale and he looked at Wang Xu tremblingly.
Hearing this, before Wang Xu could speak, Blackbeard's sacrificial priest spoke: "You demons, pagans, only God can give people immortality, you are blasphemy!" Let us go, and God will forgive you, lost lambs, wipe your faces, and you cannot be wrong any more. ”
"God?" Wang Xu glanced at the priest, then at the statue of Poseidon, and whispered: "In my eyes, God is not better than Poseidon, let him hell with him." ”
Wang Xu walked to the spring, filled the two golden cups, and poured the mermaid's tears into one cup.
After doing all this, he ignored the priest's curse and handed a golden cup to Zacquero, saying, "Drink it, and I will fulfill your last wish, and your family will rest easy." ”
"Thank you for your generosity" Zacquero picked up the golden cup, took a deep breath, and drank all the water.
After drinking, he gasped, looked into Wang Xu's eyes, and asked, "Captain, can you forgive me for my betrayal?" ”
Wang Xu looked at it with scrutiny, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "I'm sorry, a last wish is a last wish, a betrayal is a betrayal, and the betrayer is unforgivable!" ”
After saying this, Wang Xu drank another cup of spring water under Zaquero's disappointed gaze.
In the next second, the entire ruins began to shake, and the spring water seemed to be alive, flying around Wang Xu and the others.
Against the backdrop of the spring water, Wang Xu and the two rose from the ground and were suspended in mid-air.
In his gaze, Zacrow grew old little by little, and soon turned into white bones.
And he felt better than ever under a wonderful power, and there was a faint cheer from the depths of his soul, as if he was celebrating something.
"I, Poseidon, the god of the sea, give you the power of immortality, and to hell with God!"
Wang Xu appeared in mid-air, and there was a faint whisper in his ears, and the voice seemed to come from above the Nine Heavens.
He tried to find the source of the sound, but found nothing but the sound of the spring dancing and the wheezing of the crowd.
"Did you hear me?"
Back on the surface, all visions vanished, as if nothing had happened.
Blackbeard looked at each other and shook his head in unison.
Wang Xu stretched out his hands, with a hint of doubt on his face, and said softly: "I seem to hear Poseidon's voice, he told me to hell with God."
