The wizard was trembling at my sight, and hurriedly changed his words: "Of course I want to live forever myself. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info If everything the king said is true, then wouldn't it be a beautiful thing to be able to borrow a light and live forever with the king?"

I thought to myself, this man is really smart, he can read the eyes, and he is good enough, no wonder he can become a wizard.

The wizard hung his head and continued, "When I said this, the king himself was a little unsure, so he took me all the way to find it.

It was a place that people would not forget when they saw it, and the sacred tree stood there, and the look made people's legs weak and had to kneel.

Luckily, we didn't encounter the dragon and didn't hear a voice speak. Wang and I were afraid of being discovered, so we hurriedly returned the same way.

When I returned, I stayed in the house, asked for divination countless times with a turtle shell, and asked the gods for instructions in my dreams.

Finally, on the tenth day, I dreamed of the sacred tree, and I also dreamed that nine crows flew out of the sun, landed on the sacred tree, incarnated as nine black-robed people, and began to pick and eat the fruits of the tree.

One of them said, "The one who sacrificed is so stupid that he doesn't know that sacrificing with his body is actually to water the sacred tree with his flesh and blood, and he really thinks that only by sacrificing his body can he achieve immortality of his soul!" I don't want to think about it, the flesh and blood are gone, where does immortality come from?"

The other said, "That is, if we can dig an altar near here, and put the images of our nine gods on the altar, and reserve nine hundred and eighty-one sacrifices as sacrifices, we will also keep his body and soul incorruptible."

The others nodded and said, "Yes, yes." ”

A man who had not been squeaking suddenly interjected: "It's a pity that he will be sacrificed in two years." From the moment he agreed to be a sacrifice, he had already been cursed, and after two years, if you didn't let him come, he would run by himself, and he couldn't stop him. ”

Someone next to him said: "That's not simple, put a heavy sarcophagus on this altar, let him lie in it when the day is almost up, not only will he not be discovered, but he can't do it even if he wants to come out himself." After a thousand years, wouldn't it be a complete merit for us to release him again?"

I was so shocked that I woke up and believed their words. I thought to myself, "This is a clear indication from heaven," and I ran to tell the king.

When the king heard this, he was frightened, and finally decided to do as the nine black-robed men had said, and ordered me to be in charge of building the altar.

At that time, we mobilized the strength of the whole country, gathered all the skilled craftsmen of our country, and repaired this altar in less than two years. ”

With that, the wizard straightened his back and glanced around the altar, clearly proud of the work.

The king was very satisfied when he inspected it. After returning, he passed the throne to Bai Guan and asked him to take over the royal power.

In order to hide people's eyes, I gave the king a requiem soup and made him fake his death. Then, a secret funeral was held, he was placed in a sarcophagus, and the door to the coffin was locked.

I and those who came after me were faithful followers of the king, and we voluntarily sacrificed our lives for the king's eternal life.

After the sacrificial ceremony, each of them found their place and drank the dove.

After the matter was completed, I, as the executor of the plan, also drank the requiem soup. ”

At this point, the wizard fell silent.

Yaochen waited anxiously, so he asked, "What about later?" How did you come back to life?"

"Come alive?"

I saw the wizard's dry face twitch, as if he said with a wry smile: "Come to life? Do we call it alive too?"

After a pause, the wizard sighed and said, "Yes, we woke up later, but look at the way we are now, this person is not a human, a ghost is not a ghost, how can we go back to the ground to live?" To tell you the truth, our current feeling is that life is better than death. ”

Yaochen shook his head and asked puzzledly: "I see that you are just a little thinner now, your face is almost white, you have to speak harder, and there is nothing else?"

I glanced at her, and now I know what it means to stand and talk without a backache.

Sure enough, the wizard rolled his eyes when he heard this, and it took a long time to suppress his emotions and slowly say, "When I first woke up, it was much worse than now."

"Huh? It's worse than it is now?" Yaochen covered her mouth and fussed, "Oh my God, what's that going to look like?"

Instantly, there was silence.

I watched the wizard's near-collapse as if I heard the sound of its heart breaking.

After staying in this dark underground for thousands of years, I woke up and found that it was not what I had imagined, my body was stiff, like a withered body, like a living dead, and everyone would have to collapse, and I had the heart to die.

I feel a little sympathetic to their plight, and I feel sorry and guilty for Yaochen's unscrupulous words.

So, I pulled her ear and whispered, "If you can't speak, don't speak."

Yaochen immediately blushed inexplicably, closed her mouth and said nothing.

I cleared my throat and asked the wizard, "What did you wake up for the first time?"

"I don't know, the first time we woke up, just like this time, to the sound of trumpets and blue fog. After each sacrificial ceremony, the nine crows would fly in and eat one of us. ”

"Wait," I interrupted, "apart from you, you are now eighty-one in all. Listen to what you mean, you should have been awakened many times, and someone was eaten many times, so how can you eat and eat or these people?"

The wizard sighed, "The pain is here, and every time the remaining bones will inexplicably grow flesh and blood again after a while, and return to their original appearance. Then the next time you are awakened, you may be pecked again, repeating the previous pain.

Those of us have experienced this pain over and over again. It was so bitter that life was worse than death. ”

When the wizard said this, the zombies kneeling behind him began to whimper indistinctly, looking really pitiful.

"Shangxian, you killed those crows, which can be regarded as freeing us from the sea of suffering. But you also see that we are like this now, how can we still be human. I don't think you're mortal, so please help us get rid of it. ”

"Relief? What does that mean? Don't you want to live?" Yaochen asked in surprise.

The wizard sighed and replied, "We are now living like no human beings, and we cannot die. To tell you the truth, we've tried all kinds of ways to die, hitting rocks, jumping down from a great height, trying everything we can think of, but after a while we will wake up again and repeat the pain we had before. ”

"And that kind of thing?" Jingkong listened, stuck out his tongue, and muttered to himself.

Not to mention, this really made it difficult for me.

This place is a place of extreme darkness, and it is not uncommon for these corpses to remain incorruptible for many years. But the flesh can grow back when it's gone, and it can be resurrected after death, which is a bit weird, could it really be related to the sacred tree?

If this is the case, the only way to change the situation is to leave this place, away from the sacred tree. But now that they're like this, they can't go out to meet people, right?
