Chapter 53: Sacrifice

That's not a complicated task.

It's much simpler than he expected.

Even though Princess Jinyang happened to have the Duan brothers next to her, with Duan Lizheng's ability, as long as Xue Zhai alone was enough to complete this commission.

Originally, Song Huaizhu was worried that the mysterious man planned to use them to do something earth-shattering, and he was vigilant, but the result was such a small request, so he decided to accept it, and then the monk Xuezhai volunteered to complete it.

This task is really not difficult, Duan Lizheng is only fifteen years old and is just a fledgling, and the monk Xuezhai easily forced him into a desperate situation, this matter should have been completed so easily.

But he didn't expect it.

Met her.

If it was just Duan Lizheng, it would be absolutely impossible for them to go down the mountain that night.

But no one thought that what made everything turn around was actually a girl who had not practiced at that time.

Unexpectedly, I met myself.

After listening to Song Huaizhu's straightforward words, Zhu Luan immediately understood.

She looked at Song Huaizhu with complicated eyes, and slowly spoke, "You let us go that night, so you went to Lanzhou to test Xie Yuan." ”

She didn't ask a question, her tone was certainly calm.

"So to speak," Song Huaizhu smiled invisibly.

His voice was calm, but Zhu Luan's heart was not so calm.

She never understood why this person suddenly left Huizhou in the case of cold poison invasion, and even went to take the township test.

But now everything is understood, and all this is the price he pays.

Having lost the source of the scabbard, the man had to go far and south to find someone's real sword.

And this kind of near and far is really not an ordinary near and far. From the township test to the meeting test, there are countless fights and uncertainties, and even the truth or falsehood of the ancient stone according to an ethereal agreement.

It was all because he let himself and the others go at that time.

On that night at the Lingyan Temple, no one knew the weight of the decision the man had made.

Now that she finally knew, her feelings were even more complicated.

Is it a scabbard......

Zhu Luan stroked the brand-new scabbard of the sword at his waist, his eyes slightly condensed.

Is the source of everything actually on the scabbard of the Shadow Sword......

No, the original scabbard to be exact.

Zhu Luan never thought that the scabbard that she had unintentionally lost on the battlefield would cause such a big storm.

Yes, the original scabbard of the Chengying Sword disappeared ten years ago.

Just when she was engaged to Duan Haochu, when she went to the battlefield for the last time before her death.

It was a skirmish on the border with the Houjin, the Houjin people with poor pastures robbed the sheep of the herdsmen near the Tieqing Great Wall, which was originally just a small matter, but a corner of the Tieqing Great Wall that had been in disrepair for a long time was actually crushed, and one of the Houjin Iron Horsemen entered the territory of the Great Zhou, which finally triggered a medium-sized fight.

The Qingzhou camp asked the imperial court for help, and Zhu Luan was sent to the Qingzhou camp to practice.

She still remembers that battle, which was not big or small in the battles she fought, but it was very chaotic. Because on the battlefield, in addition to the black armor guards, there are countless herdsmen running around.

Not only did she have to command her subordinates to attack, but she also had to be careful not to hurt the herdsmen, in short, it was a messy battle.

And in that chaos, the scabbard of the Chengying sword hanging from her waist while busy saving her subordinates was actually pulled down by the chaotic herdsmen, and finally mixed into the pile of dead people.

She later searched for it, but found nothing but the body.

The scabbard of the Hidden Sword is thus lost.

Zhu Luan felt that this battle was full of strangeness, but he didn't have time to investigate it carefully.

Because she went home and got married after this battle.

……

……

Now I want to come and go home and get married after the war, this sentence is really poisonous......

Then Gu Shi found out that her scabbard was missing, frowned and listened to her loss, and then stopped talking, but in the end he didn't say anything, just took her sword and said to make her a new scabbard.

And then ......

There is no then.

Her life as Princess Yingluan came to an end directly.

She didn't expect that after such a long time, she would hear about the scabbard again in the mouth of someone she didn't know at all.

The scabbard was actually intended to be used by this man......

Zhu Luan raised his head and stared at the calm-faced man in front of him.

"You didn't get the scabbard back then, so you had to go and get the champion, and you want to get the sword directly."

"That's right," Song Huaizhu nodded calmly, "That's why I want to fight for the hidden sword and the shadow." ”

Very good, the first question has been completely answered by this person, but the problem is that Zhu Luan didn't expect this question to involve a more terrible question......

"A personal thing, a bloodline that can be burned......" Zhu Luan silently stared into the man's eyes, "I'll guess this bloodline." ”

The girl's voice was flat and undulating, and she pointed to her heart, "What is going to be used here...... I? ”

……

……

Song Huaizhu choked for a moment, and nodded after a short pause, "Yes." ”

"That's what you saved me with your blood for?" Zhu Luan continued to ask expressionlessly.

Although it was not the first time, Song Huaizhu still felt guilty and embarrassed again.

He actually wanted to ......

At this point, this person deserves it, whether he is extremely disgusted with him or disappointed.

Because he is such a despicable man who will do whatever it takes to be despicable.

"Yes." He nodded with difficulty.

"It's me who I'm sorry for you." He looked at Zhu Luan's eyes seriously and said.

"How much?" Zhu Luan calmly continued to ask.

"What?" Song Huaizhu was stunned, he thought that she would be angry and she would be disappointed, if she was an ordinary woman, it would be too late to avoid revenge and resentment when she learned that the person who had been helping her was to ask for her own blood sacrifice, but she had this reaction.

This made Song Huaizhu not react for a while.

"Is it the sacrifice, how much blood can be burned?" Zhu Luan asked lightly.

Zhu Luan had guessed before whether this person was going to use her as a sacrifice, but now it seems that it is not much the same, the difference is how much this person originally planned to let her donate blood for free?

"How ......" Song Huaizhu was stunned, then looked at Zhu Luan and said, "That secret book only says that part of it is ......."

"Will it be life-threatening?" Zhu Luan asked.

"No," Song Huaizhu immediately shook his head, "Although it didn't say that, if the ritual would endanger the lives of others, I would definitely terminate it immediately." ”

It was a pact he made with that person.

The blood he wants is not a sacrifice.

"Oh, that's fine." Zhu Luan glanced at him and said lightly.

"You're not angry?" Song Huaizhu looked at her and asked in a daze.

"What's there to be angry about." Zhu Luan looked at him strangely, "You saved my life at the beginning, even if it is reasonable to exchange one life for another, not to mention that you are only going to ask me to donate some blood." ”

It's a lot milder than she thought she would eat as a sacrifice, okay?

"Then why are you ......" Song Huaizhu looked at the girl's complicated eyes, and clenched his hands on his knees.

Zhu Luan sighed in his heart.

She knew what he wanted to ask, and she probably wanted to ask her how she felt about it?

But she didn't have any thoughts about this at all, and there was only one thought hovering high in her heart.

The shadow of the hidden sword is used as a personal object, and the burning blood is used as a sacrifice.

Everything was so obvious that it would be useless for her to pretend to be confused.

This sixteenth generation of Zen people of Fanyin Temple did not hesitate to use forbidden evil arts to resurrect him, and the only answer was already coming out.

This person was actually going to use her blood to resurrect that person......

Zhu Luan had only one idea at this time.

I resurrect myself.

I'm really damned.
