Depart on time in ten minutes.

After resting, Jiang Yahui and the nameless layman looked a little better than just now, especially the nameless layman, his face was not so pale, but everyone knew that with such a little time, where was enough, it was estimated that he used some secret method to restore his vitality for a short time, but the sequelae were indispensable.

The path chosen by the poet Qiu is fixed in the pit of the giant grass, so we come to the giant grass and then go in the direction that the poet Qiu said.

At this time, the giant grass in the pit was still burning, the fire was already much smaller, and when we passed, the black scorched leaves still moved, and bounced up violently, I was startled, and the Qiu poet calmly did not stop, but the only remaining scorched black leaves were shot into the air, and "snapped" back.

Following the poet Qiu for a while, we entered a willow forest.

This piece of forest, all are willow trees, it is said that willow trees attract evil spirits, as soon as you enter here, you will feel the wind gusting, cool into the bones...... Comfortable all over!

Cough, this is my own feeling, it's hard for others to say, Jiang Yahui and the unknown layman have very dignified faces, Zhang Xiaofang, she looks relaxed with the boss in everything, with the sunglasses, I only see her potential to be funny.

As for the poet Qiu, his face sank like water, and he didn't raise his eyebrows.

Suddenly, the wind became stronger and stronger, and it blew like a typhoon, and the branches of the willow trees shook violently, and they tended to be broken by the wind at any moment.

Not to mention the wicker, several of us had to raise our arms in front of us, and the wind blew so hard that we couldn't move an inch, and we couldn't open our eyes.

I hid behind Qiu Shishi, grabbed his waist, lowered my body and shrank behind him to feel better, and then my eyes opened slightly, narrowed a slit, and I actually saw that Qiu Shishi's body seemed to have crossed a layer of fire, blocking the approach of the wind.

When I opened my eyes wide, the layer of fire clothing was gone, and the Qiu poet was still the same as before, did I see it wrong?

When we really couldn't move forward, Qiu Shiren took out a statue of Buddha, this Buddha was not the kind eyebrows and kind eyes I saw in the past, but the eyes were wide like copper bells, there were fangs on the cracked mouth, and a steel fork was held in his hand, which looked particularly fierce.

He placed the Buddha statue, which was only 30 centimeters in size, on the ground, and the howling wind seemed to have no effect on it, and stood there steadily.

Qiu Shishi's wrist, three lit incense sticks in his hand, the incense head forward, forming a ninety degree angle with people, after worshipping reverently, the incense is inserted on the land in front of the Buddha statue.

In less than five seconds, the wind slowly decreased, and finally stopped completely, and the swaying notes hung still, as if they were not the ones who had just swung wildly.

Qiu Shishi, who knelt on one knee, got up: "We only have this time to burn incense, so we have to be fast." ”

I looked at the incense on the ground, and it could only burn for about forty minutes at most: "When you say a stick of incense, do you mean passing through this willow forest?" ”

"It's a round trip."

Without giving me time to react, he grabbed me by the back collar and led me forward with a brisk pace.

The other three, hurrying after us.

The willow forest seemed to occupy the whole mountain, and I felt that we had been walking for a long time, and had maintained the speed at which we had started running, and I had finally walked out of the willow forest from the time I was led by him, to the time I grabbed his arm and let him half-drag.

However, after walking out of the last row of willow trees, everyone pressed the pause button at the same time, and I took a step forward because I was walking too fast, and quickly reversed, clutching the sleeve of Qiu Shishi's coat, and my eyes were firmly locked on, about twenty meters ahead, there was a ...... Grave!

It's not just a tombstone, but a small mound is built around it, behind which is an arched stone bag, and there is a small monument on the left, but it is not carved with back soil, but runes that I can't read.

The place in the middle of the tombstone that should be the owner of the tomb has been worn away, including the date of birth, leaving only the date of death, and the place where the photo is pasted, the photo is gone.

There was also a platform built in front of the monument, and my brother sat on the platform, staring blankly ahead, indifferent to our arrival, and his five senses seemed to be closed.

And when I saw him, the reason why I didn't rush up was because, in front of the tomb, in the open space of about 20 meters, there were many colorful snakes circling, each snake was the same size, and the position they were waiting for was exquisite, looking like a hexagram and a formation.

I was afraid of rats and snakes, as soon as I saw snakes, I subconsciously looked away, and saw that everyone did not speak or move, as if I was studying these snakes, I had to do a good job of mental construction, and set my eyes on those snakes.

This look, I found something wrong.

These...... It's all snakeskin!

It is the skin of the snake that comes off after the sharp change, the skin looks smooth and shiny, hovering there, the snake's head is facing you, the eyes seem to be real, and you have hair on the back as soon as you pair them.

If it weren't for the repeated confirmation that it was indeed just snakeskin, who would believe that this "momentum" alone would be fake.

"You don't want to go over," Qiu Shiren observed for a while, and then said to Jiang Yahui and the nameless layman, "Your task is to find the panhalberd, and now that it has been found, I will deal with it next, and you will wait here." ”

Jiang Yahui: "......" She is like participating in a life and death experience today, and she has walked so much, saying that she is looking for a panhalberd, looking back, what did she do except being "driven" to run?

The nameless layman nodded, he had no opinion, and he didn't want to go over when he looked like that.

"I'll come with you." Zhang Xiaofang walked up to us and pushed her sunglasses.

"No, you stay here." Qiu Shiren glanced at Jiang Yahui and the nameless layman, stayed on the nameless layman for two more seconds, and then said to Zhang Xiaofang like a task, "You are watching here, don't have any accidents, especially the willow forest." ”

Zhang Xiaofang has been his subordinate for many years, and she doesn't need to say it to Qiu Shishi, she also understands what he means, and immediately nodded solemnly: "Understood!" ”

I was confused: "What's wrong with the willow forest?" ”

"You'll find out later." Qiu Shiren shook his wrist, "Let's go." ”

Then, taking my hand, he walked towards the snake formation.

I have no problem with him leaving them and taking me alone, I want to save my brother, whether or not he deliberately took me there or not.

Beyond the first snakeskin, the scene changed.

The tombstone became the door of a temple, and it led to the outside, and as for me and the poet, we were in a hall, and the snakeskins around were gone, and in their place were people kneeling in the hall with their shirts and tattered trousers, and the person they bowed down to seemed to be me?

They were begging me for mercy, kneeling up and raising their hands high, and lying down again, I saw that they were all engraved with a brand on their chests, and I couldn't understand the word, as if it was "slave"?

Are these all slaves?

I told them to get up, but as soon as I spoke, several soldiers in armor rushed over, two holding down a slave, and began to do so without saying a word.

They began to drill a hole in the top of these people's heads, and then poured in an unknown liquid, and these slaves began to scream extremely violently, and when I was so excited by these screams that the top of my head was numb, I saw the soldiers grabbing their scalps and easily peeling the skin down.

Looking at the freshly baked bloody skinless corpses, I couldn't bear the retching, I told them to stop, but they didn't listen to me at all, thinking that I was two dimensions with them, I also picked up a knife on the ground, rushed to a soldier and tried to swing it, I thought the knife would pass through the soldier, so I didn't keep it, and used a lot of force.

Then, my knife actually slashed at the soldier, cutting a big wound, and blood splattered on my face, and I could clearly feel the stickiness and fishy smell of blood.

What's going on? Is all this true?

I looked at the soldier with trepidation, but the soldier did not blame me at all for hurting him, and after saluting me, he continued to skin the slave he was in charge of, and his movements quickened, as if I had slashed him because he was too slow.

"Stop, stop, don't you hear!"

Since you can see me, and I also meet him, why can't you hear what I shout, is there a generation gap?

As I tried to communicate with the soldiers, the skins were peeled off, and the remaining bodies were dragged to a corner, roped around their necks, and hung from the beams.

I found that there were still people alive in it, and the only breath left, after hanging up, the fingers and toes twitched and struggled and twisted, and finally breathed after being tortured.

You think that's the end of it?

Not really!

A group of slaves were killed, and a new batch of slaves came up, who were skinned and hanged in the same way.

This hall is simply a slaughterhouse, wave after wave of people die, and then hang up in a strange situation, and the black gas visible to the naked eye quickly forms.

I fell to my knees in a breakdown, covering my ears and closing my eyes, I didn't want to see how these slaves were tortured and killed, and I didn't want to hear their horrible screams anymore.

However, the eyes were closed, and the bloody picture was too profound, still playing out over and over again in my mind, and my ears were covered, and I couldn't stop the screams that could penetrate my ears.

I can't stop it, I can't stop it at all, I can't save anyone!

"Yes, you can save them."

A faint and cool female voice passed through the screams and entered my ears so that I could hear them clearly.

I opened my eyes in amazement, and saw the door, a beautiful woman walked in, her long hair was pushed aside, and a bright red flower was pinned, not feeling tacky, only adding to her fragrance, the long red dress, short and long, the long side dragged behind me, like blood flowing backwards, and the short side revealed snow-white calves, and the calves were tattooed with a snake's tattoo, coiled around the calves, lifelike.

She walked towards me step by step, barefoot, toes as white as jade, and reached out to me, trying to help me up.

I didn't accept it, and stood up on my own: "Who are you, and what do you mean by that just now?" ”

She pursed her red lips and smiled, turned half of her body, looked at the soldiers who were still being skinned, and then looked at the bloody corpses that had been hanging half of the hall, and asked me, "You know, what are they doing?" ”

I honestly shook my head.

"In ancient times, there was a mysterious method of sacrifice, using the body as a shield, the skin as the form, and the resentment of the demons as food," she turned around, looking at me with beautiful eyes that seemed to have ripples, and blinked, "In this way, the person they make offerings to will gain great power after death, and even, after a thousand years, they will be able to reunite in the flesh and be resurrected!" ”

She then shook her head regretfully, turned her eyes to the body hanging not far away, and said with pity: "Unfortunately, to really complete this sacrifice, at least thousands of bodies and skins, and there must be a resentment so thick that it can turn into water, which is not so easy. ”

I listened with trepidation: "So, did that work?" ”

If you want to succeed, you won't be able to hang so many bones in the entire hall, right?

"It's up to you, huh?" She bent down and picked up the knife I had just thrown away, and she held the blade, the hilt of which was facing me, "You are the king of this place now, and none of them dare to do anything to you, and if you want to stop this sacrifice, take these butcher knives in their hands," she swept her fingers over the soldiers, and gritted lightly, "Kill, these slaves, won't they be saved?" ”

To kill, kill these soldiers?

"You say I'm the king here, why can't I let them stop?"

"Don't you understand," she pushed the knife toward me, "they worship power, and they can't stop in order for you to gain power as king." ”

I looked at the hilt that was almost touching me, and I couldn't take it over.

"Look at it," she shook her head tenderly and pityingly, "these slaves died for you, don't you want to save them?" ”

Her tone was gentle, but the posture of forcing me to hold a knife was very tough: "Look at the blood all over the ground, but it is all shed for you, it is all shed for you, shouldn't you stop this tragedy, shouldn't you?" ”

Every sentence, she seemed to repeat a second time, and then, those two sentences, kept looping in my head, and I kept asking myself, it was all blood shed for me, shouldn't I stop this tragedy?

It's all blood shed for me, shouldn't I have stopped this tragedy?

I'm going to stop them, I'm going to stop them?

I finally grasped the hilt of the knife that had always been facing me, and picked up this ordinary, but heavy knife.

"Very good, come, come one by one, kill them, kill these inhuman butchers, kill them!"

"Yes, kill them!"

I clenched my broadsword tightly, and as if I had a deep hatred for the soldiers, I walked over to the nearest one, who was crouching on the ground, still carefully skinning the slaves for fear of damaging any part.

Looking at him at my head, I raised my big knife high, and my arm seemed to have infinite strength, as long as I slashed hard, I could divide the soldier's head, but the soldier in front of me was indifferent to my actions, he recognized me as the king, and cut me with a thousand knives!

The arms are tense and ready to exert force...... The white jade, which was hidden in my clothes with a crack, lit up, and a round light protruded through my clothes, but the woman standing behind me didn't see it.

She's waiting for me to act.

I did act, my body turned quickly, and the big knife I swung down, but it was her!

The woman raised an eyebrow in surprise, but not much panic, and her body floated back, my broadsword grazing the corners of her clothes.

I continued to point my broadsword at her, "Who the hell are you?" ”

Just now, I had to really listen to her, what difference did I have from these slaughtering soldiers?

She tilted her head and said aggrievedly, "I am the one who has come to help you, king, and I am the most loyal servant who assists you!" ”

"Stop." I roared angrily, almost angry: "I'm not the king here, what bullshit sacrifice they hold has nothing to do with me, every drop of blood shed here has nothing to do with me, what loyal slave, don't pour me this rice soup, I'm so bluffing when you are an aunt and grandmother, if you want me to kill someone, I'll be the first to kill you!" ”

As soon as I woke up, I knew how funny she had just bewitched me, and I felt that I was really stupid.

I unceremoniously swung the knife again, all at her.

She dodged left and right, and she could easily dodge my slash, and the look in my eyes was like watching a clown jumping off a beam, damn it!

"Didn't you say that I was my most loyal servant, the king wants to cut you, shouldn't you stand obediently and let me cut it, why, don't you dare to be no, don't you want to be a dog?" I put away my sword, stopped attacking, and raised my chin in a provocative speech, "Dog, the king told you to kneel, didn't you hear?" ”

The woman's eyes finally lit up with anger, and her smile turned cold: "Do you know that you are looking for death?" ”

"Then you can try and see how I die!" I continued to defiantly scorn her, "Can you do it, puppy?" ”

Seeing her standing still, I said again, "Do you need me to buy you some dog food and give you some motivation?" ”

Her eyes sharpened: "Then I will fulfill you." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, the long tail of my skirt was stretched again, like a tail pulling towards me.

I was so nervous that I was still standing in place with pretended confidence, and just as the red "tail" was about to hit me, the soldiers who were only concerned with skinning rushed over, some in front of me, and some directly attacked the woman in the red dress.

The woman's fingers turned into claws and swung at the soldiers who attacked her, and the soldiers she touched collapsed and dissipated into points of light.

She folded the tail of her skirt and glared at me coldly, and I triumphantly behind the soldiers: "Didn't you say that they all respected me as king?" It's definitely to protect me, ha, the rules of this game are set by you, do you feel like you're beating yourself in the mouth?

"Heh," she snorted coldly, her fingers painted with black nail polish pointed at me, "If it weren't for the master's need for you, do you think you could stay until now and still be arrogant in front of me?" ”

Finally heard a useful message: "Your master? Who is it? ”

She paused, then waved her hand, and all the soldiers were gone, except for the hanging corpses, piles of human skins on the ground, and the half-stripped slaves, some still wailing and moaning.

The black nails were put on her lips, and with a gentle blow, she smiled seductively: "Even if it can't destroy you, it can make you suffer a little, let you be the king, if you don't do it well, then taste the taste of these slaves!" ”

"Don't you sympathize with these slaves, and soon, you'll know what it's like to be skinned!"

Her hand was aimed at me, and she moved her fingers gracefully, and two of the soldiers who had just disappeared appeared behind me, one holding my arm on the other side, and holding me to the ground.

Then, a man let go of me and took out an iron drill that was designed to bloom on the slave's head, and I was pressed low, and my eyelids rolled up to see that the iron drill was already in place above my head.

When I empathized with Ji Jingru, I already experienced how painful it was to be skinned, and I didn't want to experience the taste of being flowered by my head on this basis.

Feeling that the iron drill was about to get into my head, I shouted uncontrollably: "Dead man, dead man save me, I can't stand it!" ”

"Boom!"

The door was attacked, and the powerful force made the entire hall shake with it, and the woman in the red dress couldn't hide her shock and looked at the door: "How can it be so fast, what the hell is this person......"

I didn't hear her muttering clearly, the gate was attacked again, the seemingly impregnable door could disintegrate at any time, the woman in the red dress had a dark look in her eyes, and when she turned her head, the eyes with strange runes painted in the corners of her eyes glared at me viciously: "It's a pity to leave like this, then ...... Dig up some of your brains as a souvenir. Don't do it yet! ”

The last four words are orders to the soldiers.

The iron drill that had stopped because the door was attacked was once again approaching the top of my head, and fear made me tremble uncontrollably, and fear also made me burst out with the strength that I didn't have before, I broke free from the hand holding my neck and raised my head sharply, met the eyes of the soldier holding the iron drill, and roared: "Get out, get out!" ”

I vaguely felt that the voice I roared out was different from usual, as if it brought power, like the dragon's breath, which would make the subordinates surrender automatically, and the most intuitive manifestation was that the soldiers were really drunk by me to stop.

But it was too vague, and when I shouted, I was in a state of fear and anger, and I didn't pay attention to anything else, and when I found out that the soldier was really drunk by me, I wanted to investigate, and I couldn't feel that feeling anymore.

The soldier was stunned for about two seconds before coming back to his senses, but in these two seconds, the door "banged" open, Qiu Shishi rushed in, his fingers in the air, drew a talisman with one stroke, and then slapped at the soldier, the talisman with air as the talisman paper when approaching us, split in two, hit the two soldiers, and the soldier disappeared with a "bang".

No one twisted my hand, and I fell to the ground at once, and when I raised my head, Qiu Shishi was already fighting with the woman in the red dress.

His index finger and middle finger pressed together on top of the woman's Yin Tang, and his thumb and the other two pressed her temples respectively, lifting her up and slamming her to the ground!

The woman's entire face was smashed, and she flicked the tail of her skirt in anger and wrapped herself around the poet, whose face was resolute, and twisted the wooden sword at an incredible angle, and after slashing her own arm, the bloody blade cut the tail of the skirt on her body.

It was only a skirt, but the woman let out a cry of pain, and it was her tail that was cut off by the poet.

She struggled to break free of the Qiu Poet, staggered backwards, her eyes glared at the Qiu Poet with resentment, and the runes in the corners of her eyes were beating: "You wait, sooner or later, one day, I will cut off your limbs!" ”
