The Gray Age Chapter 63 Thoughtless
By the time we arrived at the temple gate, it was already crowded with warrior monks holding sticks.
The monks closest to the gate stuck their sticks in their hands at the joints of the infected person in front of them, confined the infected to the spot, unable to move a single bit.
Looking at the suppressed infected again, I saw that at this time, his mouth was full of blood, and his scarlet eyes were open and he was roaring meaninglessly at us. He was dressed in tatters, with a wood-chopping axe pinned to his waist and a bundle of firewood on his back.
"Under the door of the sky, subduing the demons and immortals, destroying the demons and destroying the evil, the eagle and the dog take the lead, the two generals heard the call, stood in front of the altar, obeyed the order according to the law, the divine power of the emperor, the demons and ten thousand ghosts, the battle is uncovered, the holy power of the Taishang, the vast and boundless, and the law of the Northern Emperor is urgent!!"
Suddenly, Gai Qingxuan came out of nowhere, and an extra piece of yellow rune paper appeared in his palm, pinching the trick with both hands, and there were words in his mouth, and the words were sonorous and powerful. Finally, the yellow paper full of strange lines was slapped on the head of the infected!
The infected's contorted body stiffened slightly, but then he became even more frantic in his desire to break free from the shackles of the warrior monks and tear apart the Taoist priest in front of him who teased him with yellow paper.
"What a strong monster! Poor Dao wanted to use the exorcism spell to force you out of this body, but I didn't expect you to be so ignorant of life and death! ”
Seeing that this rune paper was useless, Gai Qingxuan was not afraid, and pulled out a purple rune paper from the wide sleeve robe again.
"Taishang Laojun, teach me to kill ghosts and be with me. On the call for the jade girl, the collection is ominous. Mountaineering rocks are cracked, wearing seals. Wearing a canopy on his head, he is burly on his feet, supporting Liujia on the left and defending Liuding on the right. There is the yellow god in the front, and there is the Yue chapter in the back. The divine master kills, does not avoid the strong, first kills the evil ghosts, and then cuts the night light. What god is not subdued, what ghost dares to be? Haste as a law!! ”
Another spell I didn't understand, combined with a set of finger pinching tricks, and finally the purple rune paper was put on the infected's head again.
"Wooh!!"
The infected didn't give Gai Qingxuan any face, and became even more manic after being pasted with this purple rune paper. This made Gai Qingxuan directly stunned in place. I didn't expect this to be the result.
"Daoist Gai, I told you, this is an infected person, not some demons and monsters, how can there be ghosts in this world?"
I want to quickly ask Gai Qingxuan to come back, don't use any more Dao techniques, it's really embarrassing.
"Impossible?.. How can it not be done?.."
Gai Qingxuan didn't feel embarrassed, but was surprised that his rune paper was useless. While muttering, he quietly retreated.
I shook my head and sighed, ignoring Gai Qingxuan and focusing on the infected person in front of me. Looking at the blood at the corners of his mouth, I couldn't help but frown. Judging by the degree of oxidation in his blood, it is highly likely that he has just attacked a living creature. But who was attacked? Thinking of this, I quickly probed to find out who the person who was bitten was.
"Abbot! Thoughtless is dying! ”
Suddenly, an anxious and mournful voice came from the right side of the gate.
"What? Thoughtless?! ”
When I heard the name, I didn't know where the strength came from, so I suddenly picked up the crowd and squeezed to the place where Wu Nian fell.
At this time, Wu Nian had long since lost his previous aura, and his delicate and immature face was so incompatible with the red blood.
"Wu Nian, you hold on! Don't give up! ”
An older monk was holding Wu Nian tightly in his arms at this time, desperately pressing the main artery on Wu Nian's neck that was constantly spurting blood with both hands.
"General... Checkmate! ”
It was hard for me to accept that I had no thoughts of chopping wood and carrying water in the afternoon, and only a few hours later, I became like this.
I can't care about anything else, the general's ability doesn't have to wait for any more time at this time!
The general heard my hurried call, and quickly walked through the crowd to me, still carrying a sleeping brain axe on his back.
"Quick, hurry up and save him!"
In the puzzled eyes of several monks around me, I gave instructions to the general.
The general changed his previous lazy attitude, walked to Wu Nian's side with a serious and serious expression and sniffed left and right.
"What are you going to do?!"
The monk who was holding Wu Nian suddenly turned his body to the side, not wanting the general to get any closer to Wu Nian.
Obviously, the monk in front of him was already in a mess. It's not to blame him, after all, he doesn't know anything.
Suddenly, Wu Nian's thin body began to convulsions unconsciously, his eyeballs kept turning upward, and the whites of his eyes began to turn red gradually!
"General!"
I hurried the general again.
The general did not delay any longer, and immediately stretched out his tongue, constantly cleaning up the already blackened blood at the wound of Wu Nian.
But there are always things that we can't rewrite, for example, bringing the dead back to life.
Wu Nian had already lost a lot of blood before this, and even if the mutated cells in his body were cleaned up by the general, the blood would not regenerate. As a result, Wu Nian died, but did not become infected.
"Abbot! Didn't you tell the others to stay away from these things?! ”
I couldn't control my emotions a little, and I asked the abbot behind me with some fierce words.
"Qi Mo! Don't be impulsive! ”
Hearing my questioning, Maggie Dabin and others who were close to me quickly came to me and tried to calm me down.
At this time, the abbot's eyes were closed, his left hand was standing in front of his chest, and his right hand was constantly rotating a string of Buddhist beads, although his face was expressionless, his body was trembling slightly.
"The poor monk has already said it, but the little monk has no thoughts and is pure, thinking that it is the person who knocks on the door who has taken refuge in this mountain, who would have thought that it would be... Alas! ”
Hearing the abbot's explanation, I was dumbfounded, I didn't expect Wu Nian to be so kind.
I couldn't help but turn my head away, I couldn't bear to see the thoughtlessness that had gradually become cold.
A deep sense of self-reproach followed. After all, Wunian's death has something to do with me, although I hate to admit it. At that time, I told the abbot with great certainty that the mountain road was rugged and the infected people could not get up. But now? There have already been people who have paid with their lives for my arrogance.
For no reason, I grabbed the axe pinned to my waist and walked over to the infected who was still noisy.
"Eh, Kuroko! What are you going to do?! ”
Dabin saw that my expression was wrong, and knew that something was going to happen, but he was still a step too late, and he didn't stop it.
I aimed at the infected person's rag-like head and slashed it down with an axe.
With a "click", a mess of liquid splattered everywhere in the infected's brain, and even the red temple gate was covered with several pieces of white paint.
"Gross... Vomit!! ”
The surrounding warrior monks who had just restrained the infected person were stunned for two seconds and then vomited "wow". They had seen all of them there, and they couldn't stand the exciting and terrifying picture, and they bowed down and vomited wildly.
"Next time you encounter this kind of thing, don't have pity, because they are already dead, this is not killing at all, but saving your own life, but also protecting the lives of others!"
As soon as I finished saying this, the little monk who was lying on the ground and was bitten to death suddenly shook his body and got up from the ground in a very strange posture, which made my forehead begin to ooze cold sweat!
When the other monks saw that Wu Nian actually stood up from the ground, they were all happy, and they all wanted to step forward to check on Wu Nian's situation.
But just now, the general had obviously cleaned up all the mutated cells in Wu Nian's body, so how did Wu Nian become an infected? Could it be that mutant cells have evolved to survive in the air?
There were several monks around me who were approaching Wu Nian, and I immediately came back to my senses and stretched out an arm to stop them.
"As I said, they're dead, and they're going to move on for other reasons."
When I say this, I feel like I'm not human, and I even feel as if I've changed, into a monster who only knows how to keep myself alive.
"Donor, get out of the way! It's none of your business! The child monks of our temple are not the monsters you said! ”
A dignified-looking warrior monk angrily accused, then pushed my arm away to rush over to check on Wu Nian.
I was speechless for a moment, and a deep sense of powerlessness swept over me, and now I had no idea what else I could do, because I was not qualified to care about them, so I could only let these unknown monks go to death step by step.
"Wait! You take a closer look, the action of thoughtlessness
It's not an action that humans can do, do you think you can survive with such a big bite on the artery? ”
Just when I was dazed and helpless, Maggie stood up from the crowd and said something for me, and asked the many warrior monks to carefully watch Wu Nian's movements.
"Wunian is gone, this is no longer the Wunian I am familiar with. Donor, we monks can't do these things, I hope the donor can do it for us, and please let Wunian enter the cycle of reincarnation as soon as possible and get rid of the suffering of this world. ”
The abbot said suddenly with a trembling tone. In the end, I couldn't help but leave two lines of tears in my eyes. Then he turned and walked away.
"Abbot! Never, abbot! ”
The surrounding monks fell to their knees and persuaded the abbot to change his decision.
The abbot's body paused, and finally resolutely left the place.
Looking at the scene in front of me and the monks who were begging so hard, my heart was bleeding.
After the abbot left, the monks focused their attention on me. They glared angrily, as if if if I would immediately step forward to stop me if I made a move. In their eyes, it's as if I'm a heinous demon.
"Now that the abbot has decided, let's not embarrass the benefactor."
Finally, when the tension was blowing, the monk who had been holding Wu Nian in his arms just now stood up and said something for me.
After that, these monks glanced at each other, and they could see the anger and helplessness in their eyes, but they had no choice but to shake their heads and sigh. In the end, very reluctantly, he slowly made way for me with the eyebrow stick in his hand.
Am I a killer? Am I a heartless person? I don't want to do that kind of thing either! At the end of the day, I can't do it!
"I'll go, what do you think I'm doing?"
I turned my attention to Dabin for help, hoping that he could solve the matter in front of me for me.
Dabin also noticed my gaze and rejected me before I could speak.
"Help, no matter what, this little monk has also helped us, can you bear to see him wandering around here like this?"
"This... I can't do it, you can do it yourself. ”
In the end, Dabin refused my request. said that he didn't want to do this kind of immoral thing.
Seeing that Wu Nian, who was standing on the opposite side, had gradually adapted to this body, I gritted my teeth and my heart was horizontal.
"Maggie, lend me the dagger."
In order to make the little monk walk more decently, hand axes and hammers are not a good choice, the striking effect of this blunt weapon is too terrifying and too brutal, and it should not be used on Wu Nian.
Maggie nodded, pulling a dagger from the outside of her thigh and handing it to me.
Under the illumination of the setting sun, the dagger in front of him emitted a golden light, like a sacred blade, as if it could cut through the evil in the world.
"I'm sorry..."
My heart went down, and I took the dagger in Meiqi's hand and quickly came to Wunian, who was already on the verge of mutation, and the dagger pierced into the brain stem from the base of the ear, and Wunian stopped moving in an instant. I leaned down and whispered sorry in my ear.
Drawing his dagger, he glanced back at the monks, all of whom had red eyes and clenched eyebrow sticks in their hands, and the sticks were trembling irregularly.
"Excuse me. . . I'll bury Wu Nian..."
My mind went blank now, and I stood up and bowed deeply to the monks behind me, and then returned to Maggie in a daze.
"Heihei, don't be sad, you can't be blamed for this, after all..."
"It's okay, I'm used to it."
Maggie saw that I was not in the right mood and comforted me. I interrupted Maggie and walked out into the courtyard where we were staying.
What happened here made me doubt myself. Am I a good person or a bad person? Is it still human? Is this worthy of your conscience? What should I do if I encounter this kind of thing in the future? Or do you want to do something you don't want to do at all, as you are now?
A jumble of thoughts swirled through my mind. The biggest question is how this lone infected person managed to get to the temple. Also, I saw with my own eyes that the mutated cells in Ming Wunian's body have been cleaned up by the general, how can they still become infected in the end? Are mutant cells really already in the air?
