Chapter 229: Mission 3
"I'll show you there." Ning Jing said this, without waiting for Changning and Wen Xu to react, he waved his hand and directly cut through the space for teleportation.
Changning and Wen Xu didn't see which law he was using, and suddenly, they felt that Ning Jing's eyes suddenly became blurry, and it seemed that they could no longer see his face clearly. He was standing there, but he seemed to be far away. Quiet and leisurely, like an eternal green mountain, people are a little afraid for a while.
Just one order. Wen Xu clenched his fists. If only he was given another ten years, he could just as possibly do it.
It was just a moment, countless scenery slowly flashed in the minds of the two, like a horse watching flowers, villages, green trees, lakes, green shade, crowds ......, Changning felt that he seemed to understand something, but he didn't grasp it for a while. It was as if I had seen a fairy through a veil, delighted and curious.
By the time everything froze, they had arrived at a small mountain village of mankind. Changning recalled how he felt at that time, and when he tried to tear off the thin veil, he found that he couldn't get back the feeling just now.
For a while, she was extremely disappointed and extremely regretful.
Coming back to his senses, Changning could feel a thick dead aura between heaven and earth, and the black and gray aura was like an invisible ghost, staring at everything in front of them with a gloomy gaze in the corner, and it could devour everything at any time.
Ning Jing reversed his previous gentle appearance, and his face became extremely cold. "See those people? They are your kind. There was a hint of sarcasm on his lips as he said this.
Changning ignored Ning Jing's attitude. Her gaze was drawn to the crowd in front of her, and when she really saw what those people were doing, her gaze seemed to be pierced by the scorching sun. That's all too scorching.
With a feeling of sadness and pride, she stood there silently, motionless, as if frozen.
Thousands of old men also showed their right hands, and bright red blood continued to flow out of their meridians, dripping on the children beside him. In the sunlight, the blood, which is connected like red silk threads, looks more glaring than usual.
The smell of blood lingered in the air for a long time, but no one frowned. They were pious and determined, as if they were accomplishing something incomparably sacred.
"Do you know what they're doing?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Changning felt that his voice trembled a little.
Thousands of people stood there neatly, all of them an old man standing in front of a child, and the blood of the old man was constantly injected into the child's body. And the children's feet were constantly bleeding, but they were bleeding black blood.
Ning Jing saw these people embarrassed, disheveled, and thin as a stick before, and felt very ironic, this is the human who has always been high, this is the human who has always been self-righteous, this is the human who has been suppressing the demon clan for thousands of years, look at what they are like now
But when he really saw it clearly, he felt that the ridicule he had just made was really ridiculous. Because those people looked solemn and solemn, they looked extremely sacred in the sun.
It is a race that cannot be violated and cannot be underestimated by any living being. Thinking of this, he frowned and looked at Changning. I saw that her eyes were complicated, as if she was relieved, but also seemed to be unbearable......
"They want to be able to give everything they can for their children and grandchildren before they die." Wen Xu muttered.
This is a form of detoxification that has been passed down since ancient times, and it is also called sacrifice. Changning and Wen Xu didn't know if this method was effective, and exchanged blood for blood to eliminate the venom from the body. With the soul as a sacrifice, the life force is transferred to the next generation.
There were a lot of people around, and their expressions were similar to those of Changning, and they were also full of complexity. But no one stepped forward to stop him. Because it's not just a choice for those people, it's also their choice, and they make the same choice when they get older and can no longer lead their families to safety.
Moreover, the sacrifice was not to be disturbed by anyone. That would be a blasphemy against the gods.
Time is slowly passing away, and many people feel that time flies too quickly. The blood was clotting because it was drying up.
When the last drop of blood is shed, the time for sacrifice has come. The souls of those people have returned to heaven and earth completely. All they had was able to hold out to the last drop of blood because their souls had long been sacrificed to the gods. From then on, they will never have the opportunity to be reincarnated.
Is it worth sacrificing to save a little more blood? This question flashed in Changning's heart, and there was no answer. Everyone has their own values, and what they don't think is worth it, maybe they think it's worth. Who can tell if it's worth it or not?
As thousands of old people fell, the children fell into a deep slumber. They also need time to digest and fuse that blood—the essence of life.
Everybody was busy, and they had to house the elderly and children.
An extremely shrewd-looking man walked up to the three of them, "Honorable guest, do you have anything to do?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.
Chang Ning and Wen Xu's eyes both looked at Ning Jing. Ning Jing then remembered his intention. He took out an emerald jade bottle from the space.
Without warning, a strange fragrance wafted into the noses of the two. Changning only felt that his whole body was comfortable, as if he was in a sea of flowers, and it seemed that there was a breeze to support his face, and silver dew accompanied him.
"This is a flower dew made by our mirror domain, but it is not an ordinary flower dew. Before, I had agreed with Wen Yongfu that the flower dew produced would be divided into half of him, which was the amount that should be given to him in recent decades. The corners of Ning Jing's mouth curled slightly when he said this, "These flower dews can save you people in the human worldly realm from a lot of suffering. For example, those people just now, with the flower dew, they will not be invaded by death at all, and they don't need those old men to donate their souls and blood. But it's a pity that it took decades to spend all the materials on the Xuanwu Continent and only get two bottles. ”
When Changning first heard it, he was a little unimpressed, isn't it just flower dew? But when I heard it, I was a little surprised, since it was what Wen Yongfu wanted, it naturally couldn't be ordinary. At the same time, her eyes darkened, since the people here knew about the sacrifice, the other places should also know about it, and it was probably going on.
"That's right, thank you." Wen Xu took the flower dew and looked at Ning Jing, no longer vigilant before, but solemn, "I don't know how to use this flower dew." ”
Ning Jing didn't care about Wen Xu's attitude, but instead looked at Changning and said with a smile, "You should be grateful to Wen Yongfu." He didn't know what the relationship between Changning, Wen Xu and Wen Yongfu was, and he was very curious, why did the old man, who was more cunning than a fox and one of the strongest people in the world, help them?
In addition to valuing cultivation, the strong above the Holy Rank also value another thing called merit. Although they didn't care about merit during the ignorance period, as their cultivation became deeper and deeper and they got closer to the law, they realized that it was really important.
And Wen Yongfu handed over the flower dew to Changning and Mo Wenxu at this time, naturally wanting to help them.
It's just that they don't know it.
Ning Jing didn't plan to tell the two of them either. Because things like merit need to be discovered by themselves. This is also tacit in the hearts of all the Holy Steps. Because the more people know about merit, the more people will rob it. Just like a piece of pie, the fewer people who divide it, the better. Even if he thought about it in his heart, he couldn't say it.
His vision became extremely far-reaching, from a machine spirit to a demon, and the first thing he learned was not related to cultivation. Rather, survival. The culture of the Xuanwu Continent for tens of thousands of years has formed many rules on this continent. Unlike the law, the law is the constraint given by the Heavenly Dao to living beings, so only by comprehending these laws can we exploit the loopholes of the Heavenly Dao and exert great power. And to transcend this continent, you need to completely control a certain law and enter another realm. The rules are jointly formulated by the strong human beings, and if you want to break out of the rules, you only need one way to surpass them.
Just go beyond the Holy Steps.
Only when you transcend the holy stage will you realize the preciousness of merit. How fortunate they are to be envious and jealous, but also happy for Changning. Perhaps, as soon as the seal is lifted, they may enter that realm at the same time.
"It's very easy to use, just give them a drop of flower dew and a pool of water." After Ning Jing finished speaking, he disappeared directly into the air.
"Let's get moving." Wen Xu pulled Changning to fly in the sky, dripping a drop of flower dew every time he encountered a well.
Water is the source of all things, and everyone uses it every day, and whenever they find out the miracle of well water, they will naturally spread it everywhere.
Speaking of which, the task is extremely simple.
For three full months, Changning and Wen Xu flew to every area inhabited by humans in the Xuanwu Continent, including two dungeons.
Many people will see such a scene, a pair of men and women in black flying in the sky, sprinkling countless flower dew, and the well water immediately becomes fragrant and clear.
Since that day, there has been a legend circulating on a continent. The gods sent their disciples to the world to save mankind from danger and save them from suffering. People all over the continent suddenly fell in love with the gods. At the same time, they created huge monuments of merit for the disciples under the rumored deity's throne, with inscriptions on the routes they had taken.
After Changning and Wen Xu completed the task assigned by Wen Yongfu, they suddenly felt that there seemed to be something more in their souls, warm, like the sun in winter, which made them feel extremely comfortable.
"It seems that there is nothing to do. I feel like I'm a lot lighter. Changning pulled Wen Xu around twice, and at this moment, she didn't expect it. An unintentional move by Wen Yongfu will save her life in the future.
Wen Yongfu didn't know it, just because he didn't dare to face Wen Xu, and felt that his guilty behavior would become a twist between him and Wen Xu in the future.
