Chapter 76: Death (2nd Watch)
I don't know what the giant's head came from, but if I think about it, I know that this thing is definitely not human, and what will happen if he gets him out of trouble? Even if you don't have to think about it, you know that it won't be a good thing.
Not to mention how powerful he is when he is so big, just by cutting off his head and piercing the seven orifices with bronze chains and hanging in the cave for I don't know how many years he can still live, you know that his power has been out of reality.
If he really got out of trouble and gained his body again, the consequences can be imagined. Aircraft and artillery may not be able to beat him, even if the ultimate weapon, the Great Mushroom, is used, who knows if the strongest scientific and technological force on Earth can handle this supernatural existence?
I just wanted to survive, and I didn't think about unleashing any monsters. I never thought about destroying the world, but now I have poked out such a big basket, what should I do?
Seeing the giant's head begin to struggle frantically, and the bronze chains that were pulled rattled, my heart felt like it had fallen into a hole in the ice. Bone-chilling.
It's no wonder that the Great Elders, after seeing the flower mark on my arm, have been behaving as if they were facing a great enemy, but if I knew that there was such a secret behind this, I would definitely not have come to Huangjialing for help.
But now it was too late to regret it, and the giant's head was struggling desperately. What can I do to break free of the bronze chains?
Just when my heart was full of remorse, the Great Elder sat up straight, and said to the other six clan elders: "Quick, seal it with a secret method." ”
When the other six clan elders heard this, they all sat up and recited the obscure incantation again.
Hearing that they still had the secret method of sealing, my heart finally fell back into my stomach, and the Great Elder and the other six clan elders recited the obscure incantation together, and as they chanted, blood kept flowing from the corners of their mouths, falling on the white clothes on their chests, and soon dyed the clothes red.
The scene in front of me was tragic and inexplicable, I didn't feel that some of my eyes were moist, and on the other side, the seven bronze chains in the depths of the cave had been burned red for the most part, and every time the giant's head struggled, the bronze chains would splash a little spark and fall into the dark and bottomless abyss.
I knew in my heart that once the flames burned all the bronze chains, the giant's head could break free, and no one knew what would happen next.
My heart couldn't help but hang, and I felt it all in my throat.
Seeing that the flames were about to fill the entire bronze chain, the Great Elder suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "With my blood, Zhen! ”
The other six clan elders also began to shout, and the sound kept echoing in the bottomless cavern at my feet, shaking my ears and hurting.
With the sound of loud shouts, the seven old men pressed their hands on the ground together, and the cold winter wind seemed to blow suddenly in the hot space. The flames that had been burning quickly were quickly extinguished by the cold wind.
Wherever the cold wind went, ice and snow began to spread rapidly in the space, and then, the rock walls around the cave were also quickly covered with ice, and soon, frost began to spread rapidly on the bronze chains.
Wherever the frost went, the flames extinguished, and the crimson chain quickly cooled and turned back to the original metallic luster of the bronze.
Immediately, the flames burning on the giant's skull were also extinguished, and his eyes and nose were soon covered with ice, but he was still struggling desperately, but the power of those frosts was obviously very strong, and his struggle began to get slower and weaker.
Just when I thought it was all over, the giant's head suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a cloud of black flames at me. It wrapped around my left arm and quickly disappeared again.
Immediately afterward, the ice enveloped the giant's skull in its entirety and froze completely. As the last flame beneath the cavern was extinguished, the darkness engulfed everything again, and nothing was to be seen again.
It's finally over.
Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, I saw the dark space in front of me begin to crumble. It's like glass suddenly bursting open when it is subjected to an external force, and there are debris flying everywhere.
The debris splashed on my face, cutting my skin painfully. I shuddered, opened my eyes, and found myself sitting on the rocky platform in the hall, with the Grand Elder and the other six clan elders sitting in a circle around me.
Everything I just saw was a dream? Or. Just a hallucination? I couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Come to think of it, how can there be such a giant head in reality, maybe it was just a hallucination that I had when the Great Elder performed the ritual for me.
Come to think of it. I subconsciously stretched out my hands to rub my face, but halfway up my hand froze: my left hand was restored, and it could move.
Moreover, the bandage wrapped around my left hand had somehow turned to ashes. Skin exposed.
My arms were no longer the color of black people, but the color of yellow skin was restored, but the red flower on it became a rich black like ink. The spikes on the petals are even more hideous.
I looked at my arm, a little overwhelmed: could it be that what I had just seen in the dark space was real?
My arm was re-attached, and the giant's skull finally spat out a cloud of black flames. Is it true that it was absorbed by my left arm? Otherwise, why did the flower turn black?
Just when I was at a loss, I suddenly heard an exclamation in my ears, and when I looked up, I saw the seven clan elders sitting in a circle around me, slowly falling to the ground, without a sound.
The old man rushed forward as soon as possible and hugged the Great Elder. Stretched out his hand and touched his nose, and suddenly burst into tears: "Brother, what's wrong with you?!" ”
Only then did I know that the Great Elder was the elder brother of the old man Hezheng. No wonder their relationship is so close.
The rest of the people also reacted, and came to the other six clan elders respectively, and after checking them, they also found that they had long been cut off. Breathing and heartbeat had stopped, and even the corpse had become cold.
"It's a secret method! This is a secret method of burning life and casting a seal! The old man Hezheng screamed sadly and turned his gaze to me: "Ji Zang, what have you done?!" Why is this happening?! ”
I watched the sudden change in front of my eyes. I only felt that my hands and feet were cold, and I couldn't help but think of what the Great Elder said to me in my dream: As a descendant of the Ji family, from the day I was born, I was ready to sacrifice myself.
At that time, I felt that they were generous to others, moving their mouths, and demanding me from the height of morality, but at this moment, seeing that the seven clan elders actually sacrificed themselves and sealed each other at the cost of burning their lives in order to prevent the giant's head from getting out of trouble, the shock in my heart could not be expressed in words.
Am I wrong?
Am I being too selfish?
Should I sacrifice myself to pull out my heart?
For the first time, I had doubts about my old values. also fell into deep self-blame: although life is immeasurable, but because of me, I caused the death of the seven elders of the Ji family, and I only felt that my heart was being eaten by wild beasts. The pain of the heart.
Just when I fell into deep self-doubt, a big hand suddenly slapped me on the shoulder: "Don't doubt yourself, fate is arranged like this, the Ji family has been ready to sacrifice since the moment they were born, and the Great Elders have long had such an awareness, as for you, you didn't grow up in Huangjialing, and it's normal to make other choices." ”
It was my father who spoke, his eyes were soft, and he didn't mean to blame me, but when I came into contact with his gaze, I couldn't help but have a sour nose and shed tears.
"I didn't know it was going to happen, I really don't know." Really, if I had known that it would be like this, I would have really chosen to die on my own.
"Okay, it's okay, hurry back to town and go to your Aunt Xue, she will tell you what to do next." My father patted me on the shoulder and said softly.
Something so big happened, and my father was not in a hurry to deal with the things at the scene, but urged me to hurry back to the town? Why do I always feel weird?
I suddenly remembered the results of my father's divination and realized something, but before I could speak, a familiar laughter suddenly came from the cave: "Those old fellows are dead, I'll see who else can stop me." ”
It was the voice of the female corpse.
