"How many times do you have a chance to do it all over again?"

When Zhou Zhe put this question in front of the more than 1,000 captives of Hedong Yipintang, it was already midnight.

Groups of captives were gathered in a newly dug depression outside the pass, surrounded by piles of freshly dug earth. And Zhou Zhe, still wearing a robe, sat on a higher stake in front of them.

"Many of you don't have a concept of life, but I understand that maybe many of you grew up in the Yipintang sect, learning how to cultivate spiritually, how to become strong, and then serving Yipintang. ”

"But have you ever thought that now, that you have been defeated and captured here, I can make your heads fall to the ground with a single word? ”

"Wow!" the scene was ignited by this sentence, and then several frightened eyes were raised and lowered.

"Is this the life you want?" Zhou Zhe suddenly stood up, his eyes were like knives, he scanned the audience, and shouted loudly: "Answer me?"

The scene became quieter at the sound of a roar, as if their breathing was much more cautious, and many people could only hear their heartbeats.

"I don't want to die yet!" a young disciple who didn't even look to be twenty years old cried, and was suddenly broken by this oppressive atmosphere. Surrounded by piles of dirt, they could only see the oppressive sky with dark clouds after the rain, and Zhou Zhe's knife-like gaze.

"I don't want to die yet!" the young man, who looked to be only in his teens, shouted again with a crying voice.

Zhou Zhe asked sharply: "I don't want to die, that's good." I ask you, have you ever killed someone?"

"No, no!" the young man wept, as if begging for mercy.

And Zhou Zhe then asked: "Then now, here, among the people you know, who killed the most people? I'll give you a chance to live, remember, it's a chance. ”

The young man's eyes lit up, and he struggled to look around the crowd, looking for the murderers who were usually the most fierce and rumored in the sect, and whom they regarded as idols.

Many people lowered their heads, and even wanted to press their heads on their shoulders, not daring to look at each other.

"He! He once led people to slaughter a village. The young man finally looked at a disciple of Yipintang, who was about thirty years old, and shouted.

And the disciple of Yipintang stopped pretending at the moment, and shouted: "I killed it! If you want to kill or chop, you will rush at me, why bother Rory." ”

Zhou Zhe waved his hand, Liu Maosheng understood very well, and pulled the man and the teenage young man to Zhou Zhe, in front of the captive.

It was already drizzling, but everyone seemed to be able to see it clearly.

Zhou Zhe smiled and said: "I can give you thousands of ways to die a tragic death, but I want you to answer the question now, and then, I will give you a good time." ”

The young man raised his head and shouted, "Hmph! I knew there would be such a day, you ask!"

Zhou Zhe smiled, but this smile, through the rain curtain, in the eyes of everyone in the depression, was so infiltrating, like a devil.

"How does it feel when you kill someone and you rob someone of their life?"

The expression on the young man's face was hideous and morbid, and he shouted: "Joy!

Zhou Zhe was satisfied, closed his eyes, and asked again: "What about the first time you killed someone? What is it like to deprive others of their lives for the first time?" ”

"Happy, of course, extremely happy. The young man's face was no longer morbid and hideous, but seemed to be as sincere as if begging others to believe it.

"What does it feel like to take someone away from your life for the first time? ”

This time, Zhou Zhe's voice was louder, almost roaring.

"Tell me?"

The scene was quiet again, and countless people heard only the sound of the rain hitting the mud, their own breathing, and the fear of taking the lives of others.

"It's just happy!" the young man still pouted, but it didn't matter anymore.

Zhou Zhe said to Liu Maosheng: "Give him a knife." Untie his ban. ”

Liu Maosheng understood, untied the young man's forbidden spirit ring, threw the war knife at his feet, and returned to Zhou Zhe's side.

Zhou Zhe no longer cared about the young man in his thirties, but said to the younger disciple of Yipintang: "You haven't killed anyone before, I believe you, but if you rebel with Yipintang, you will have a way to die." Now pick up the knife and kill him. ”

"Kill, kill him?" the young disciple picked up the knife tremblingly, in the past, the sword was in the hand, like an arm and a finger, but today, under the eyes of everyone, it is as heavy as a thousand pounds.

"If you want to kill, kill!" the young man in his thirties stared, waiting for a long time to be happy.

Young disciples, I can't do it for a long time.

Zhou Zhe sneered: "Don't you dare to rebel? Why don't you dare to kill a person who has committed a heinous crime now?" Then, he walked up to the young disciple and roared in his ear like a thunderclap: "Kill! Kill him, and you will live." ”

"Ahh

Then, as if in prostration, the young disciple knelt silently, and his fear and cowardice were squandered after that sword.

Zhou Zhe said: "This person is guilty, he killed people from a village, so he is guilty." He rebelled with the people of Ippindo, so he was guilty. Now, you tell me, what does it feel like to deprive a criminal of his life?"

In fact, there is no need to answer, if you are a human being, you will have a view of right and wrong, and you all know that killing people and killing chickens are not the same concept. However, the vast majority of people choose to anesthetize themselves and forget themselves to protect their fragile hearts from feeling guilty.

The young disciple just killed someone who deserved to be killed, but he already had a sense of fear and guilt for taking the life of others.

And those who are still in the mud pit, watching this scene, remember the first time they killed, the first time they did bad things, the first time they did all kinds of evil...

This is memory awakening, you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, but you can tell him that the guilty person should die when he is pretending to be asleep.

Zhou Zhe then shouted to everyone: "Now, this young Yipintang disciple has atoned for his sins with this sinful human head. He has just come of age, his real life has just begun, and he has now completed his self-redemption, so he has now been given a chance to live. I'm Zhou Zhe, and my words count. ”

And Liu Maosheng understood what Zhou Zhe meant, dragged up the predecessor, took away his war knife and said: "You can go, what Hou Ye said counts." ”

The young man, who had been granted amnesty, seemed to wake up suddenly, and asked, "Can I really go?"

Zhou Zhe nodded, and advised: "In the future, don't take detours." Then he pointed his fingers to his eyes, and then to the young man, and looked back.

This action suddenly caused an uproar among the people in the depression, and the rain seemed to be a little sweeter.

The young man left, and disappeared into the rain curtain peacefully, without screaming, and Zhou Zhe asked again: "How many times do you have a chance to start over in life?"

"It's a difficult question to answer, I'm a man of promise, so he survived. Many of your lives may not be your own. After taking down Xiaogushan and getting the dragon armor, your door master, the head hall master of Yipintang, will get wealth, beauty and status that you couldn't imagine before. But what about you? Tell me what you're going to get?"

Zhou Zhe's question goes straight to the heart, some diehards disdain, some people think silently, and some people understand, they may lose their lives, but in the end, they will get nothing.

"First of all, you will put on the dragon armor and fight to the death with us and the people of the four major factions, and most of you will die. Your life will eventually become a victim of the glory of several heads of the Fulfillment of Yipintang, and you will eventually become a corpse. The goals of your life, the food you want to eat, the things you want to do, are all in vain. ”

"So, I'm giving you a chance now, a chance at life. ”

As soon as the words fell, many people with gloomy eyes were in good spirits, and it seemed that they could live.

Zhou Zhe said: "Start your life again, no matter how big your sins are before, even if you are a relative of a certain hall master in Yipintang, as long as you get back the credit you deserve, you can atone for your sins, you can live again, get rid of the shackles of Yipintang, get rid of the title of thief, and then rely on your own strength to live your own life in the world." ”

"What kind of credit? I do. "There is one, there is a second, the person who is deep in the depression feels the water under his feet, feels Zhou Zhe's sincerity and the temptation of heavy work, and finally shouts out his heart.

Zhou Zhe said: "Head, everyone, as long as they surrender, they will come to me, press their own handprints on the paper, and write their own names, which is Toucheng." Then go back to Xiaogu Mountain and take down the head of a rebel, and I will count him as meritorious, that is, to make up for it. If you are a friend and want to be sincere, as long as you bring other people's heads and your own handprints to me, it will be considered to make up for your mistakes. ”

Zhou Zhe then raised his sword and shouted in the wind and rain: "I, Zhou Zhe, speak my word." Now those who are willing to surrender to me will climb out of the depression and come to my side. ”

There was an uproar in the audience, and some diehards of Yipintang had already felt the murderous aura of Zhou Zhe's hand, and suddenly shouted in a bad mood: "Don't believe him, he will definitely cross the river and demolish the bridge when the time comes, we have already rebelled, and none of them will survive." ”

Some people believed him and stopped climbing, while others continued to climb and even stepped on other people's bodies just to climb out of the depression.

Zhou Zhe didn't say anything, just watched quietly, Ma Dabao found a carriage with a shed, with ink, paper, and brushes on it, and waited quietly.

Wang Rui only refuted the die-hard elements with a straight face: "If you don't believe it, you won't be able to live later." ”

In fact, enough hints have been given, the deep depression, the dirt piled high on both sides, even told everyone how to die. It takes a hundred strokes to chisel a hole in the stone slab, and Wang Rui's words are the last one.

The Iipenddo captives, who were scrambling to climb, climbed up the depression and looked like dogs at the forbidden troops who were waiting around them with shovels, breathing heavily, and the rain washed over them, and many people seemed to think that this was the aftermath of the catastrophe, as if they had really crawled out of the grave.

After a while, only a few people were still in the pit, not because they were dead, but because there were too many people climbing, the dirt slope was already too slippery, and they still had forbidden spirit rings on their hands.

"Help me, help me!" Many people begged the Yipintang disciples on the dirt slope like this, and in the end, Yu Deshui, who really couldn't look at it, helped everyone under Zhou Zhe's instructions.

At this moment, there is no one under the pit, and even the Yipintang diehards who shouted just now know what to do if they fake surrender.

Liu Maosheng also deliberately looked at the big pit and scolded: "The mouth is very fierce, and he refuses to die." ”

Zhou Zhe looked at the mud monkey-like disciples of Yipintang and said, "Go to the carriage to sign and draw the charge, and then, go to the mountain pass to get your weapons back and go back to find the person you think should be killed! Seven days later, I will still be here, waiting for you." As long as you make up for it, I will give you a chance to live again. ”
