After a careful look at this room, the standard basement was surrounded by cold stone walls, no windows, and several oil lamps were lit, and a cold and damp smell came to my nose.

Before I could figure out how to escape from here, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside, and the stone wall on one side moved, opened a small door, and walked in.

When he saw me curled up on the ground, he laughed proudly, and said as he walked up to me: "Actually, the Tao family will throw themselves into the net at this time, God help me!" ”

I didn't speak, just watched him quietly through the mesh.

He laughed for a while, probably feeling a little lonely, stopped laughing, squatted down and asked me coldly, "Say, where is the Blood Rock Furnace?" ”

Sure enough, it was coming to the Blood Rock Furnace again. I also sneered and said, "Didn't you raise a snake?" Why are you still using the Blood Rock Furnace? ”

He was taken aback and exclaimed, "What do you know?" ”

"Hmph, I know that you have no regard for human life!" I snapped.

This is also a kind of conversation strategy, because I don't know the details of the big snake, but they can actually think of such an immoral method as unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and chasing and killing us after the bounty, and the phrase of careless human life is used to describe him, and it is generally not wrong.

There was a look of disdain on his face, and he snorted, "I already knew that this set was unreliable. If not, the old guy wouldn't have given his life in vain! ”

Old guys? Who are you talking about? But I said quietly: "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place!" ”

It's still rhetoric, and anyone can say it. The more vague the words, the easier it is for the other party to make associations and fit into their own situation, so as to think that you are like a god.

Sure enough, he stood up and said as if he was stuck in a memory: "I said a long time ago, things like divine beasts cannot be controlled by humans, who can guarantee that after offering sacrifices to it, it will definitely help you live forever?" What's more, it was the kind of dirty and ignorant sacrifice that was given to it at the beginning, and it was strange that the snake god was not angry. As I said, the old man became the first victim of the serpent god's wrath......"

I was afraid of interrupting his self-presentation, so I just listened without saying a word.

He continued as if he had lost his mind: "That morning, no one answered what the next person said about calling the door of his room, I rushed over and asked people to smash the door to take a look, and immediately froze, he actually turned into a black and smelly corpse lying there, usually so proud, so arrogant, as if we were all fools and he was smart alone, and he actually ended up in this fate, and it was thanks to the snake god he raised, this is retribution!" Retribution! Hahaha......"

This passage suddenly gave me a terrible association, and I was immediately shocked in my heart!

"I didn't expect that the snake god was not the only one who took revenge, but even we were implicated, and when we were alive, we only cared about ourselves, and when we died, we were ...... even if we died," he gritted his teeth, and the muscles on his face became distorted by the expression of hatred.

But he suddenly stopped his memory, rushed to my side, and shouted viciously, "Where is the Blood Rock Furnace?" Hand it over! Otherwise, I will make you unable to survive, unable to die! ”

I reached into my arms, took out the Bloodrock Furnace, raised it to him, and said, "Here it is." ”

As soon as he saw the Blood Rock Furnace, his eyes suddenly showed excitement, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Hand it out!" ”

The mesh of this net was very large, and I handed the blood furnace out of the mesh, and he snatched it up, and looked at it carefully, as if he had found a treasure, and his face was full of brilliance.

I looked at him and felt that a young boy who was humble and polite on the surface had actually become this ugly appearance because of greed, and not only said with disdain: "What if you get it? You don't know what's going on. ”

As if he had been awakened from a dream, he turned his head and glared at me viciously, "Hmph, I don't know, I don't think you know, right?" ”

He's right, I really don't know. But how can I show weakness at such a time, of course, I sneered and said, "You can't help but be too confident." ”

For a person who has fallen into madness and lost his heart, the method of agitation is really tried and tested, he laughed out loud and said: "Tao Zhihuan, you fool, you have been deceived for many years, you know? I have always been very envious of you as belonging to the Tao family, because owning the Blood Rock Furnace means having the secret of immortality, but now I sympathize with you, I really sympathize with you! ”

Before I could refute, he had already stood up with the Blood Rock Furnace and said, "In order to uncover the secret of the Blood Rock Furnace, I have been investigating and studying hard for so many years, and today I finally got it, and I finally ...... it."

As if he had been struck suddenly, he said to himself, "But the old fellow is dead!" How did he die? A look of frustration appeared on his face again.

I finally understood a little, before my father said that the two fathers and sons of the Liu family had a dispute over the issue of immortality, I took it for granted that it must be the son who was averse to the study of immortality. It didn't turn out that way, the son just had a different idea of how to achieve immortality!

I pretended to be casual and said, "What have you researched?" Tell me about it, the Blood Rock Furnace is my Tao family's thing, maybe I can give you some advice. ”

He jerked back and asked, "Really?" ”

I saw that his eyes were blood-red, and he was already in a state of extreme excitement, so I didn't dare to stimulate him, so I nodded firmly.

"Well, I tell you," he said, as if he were very happy, "how can a man live forever?" Worship gods? Eating elixir? Or do you cultivate to become an immortal? I'm telling you, it's all useless, useless! The total amount of life force a person has is limited, and this is an iron rule that cannot be violated! Therefore, if you want to live forever, you must obtain the lives of other people. ”

His statement made my heart chuckle. The term "limited vitality" is not unfamiliar to me. How long a person's lifespan is determined by the innate energy stored in the kidneys at birth, which is called "innate essence" in the Neijing. Although it can be throttled through acquired maintenance, it is always fixed, and the source cannot be opened, and no matter how it is, it is impossible to make a person immortal forever.

However, it is unheard of to obtain other people's vitality, even if other people's organs are obtained, it is only the "yin" part, which is a container, and it cannot make up for the "yang", that is, the total amount of energy of the person himself. Besides, changing organs is a big thing in itself. What is this person trying to say?

He sat down on the ground and said while playing with the blood furnace: "The old guy believes in the snake god, which is hoping that the snake god can absorb the energy from those sacrifices, and then transform it into a naidan, so that he can sit back and enjoy it." But in fact, what doesn't belong to you in the first place, if it is suddenly absorbed into your body, it will be poisonous, not to mention that those sacrifices are so low-level! ”

"How many sacrifices did you make to the snake god?" I asked with an understatement.

"At first it was 99 people! There was an abnormality in the snake god that day, and he thought that it was Neidan who was going to be refined, but he didn't expect that it was not Neidan at all, it was actually the people of countless snake gods, who specially punished him for the snake god. So later, we changed our strategy and specially offered people who had Taoist skills and cultivated to the snake god, wanting to see if these good new sacrifices could satisfy the snake god. But I didn't expect the snake god to be killed by that damn woman, that hateful woman......"

The "hateful woman" in his mouth probably refers to Rui Wei. I also more or less predicted the mystery of the disappearance of those ordinary people, but I only estimated the first half, but I misestimated the following, once only as a reward to destroy the snake god, but I didn't expect to send these people who want to receive the reward to the mouth of the snake, this plan is really vicious!

"But let me tell you, this was not what I was expecting in the first place, and I always knew that the Blood Rock Furnace was the only way to live forever. The victim will have eternal life, which can only be achieved by the Blood Rock Furnace! He dangled in front of me with the Blood Rock Furnace, and said ostentatiously: "Hehe, Tao Zhihuan, you still say that I am careless about human life, let me tell you, this Blood Rock Furnace of your Tao family is even more evil, whoever has it is cursed, destined to become a murderer, a madman!"

What he had to say was the key, and I couldn't help but look at him eagerly, wanting to hear him continue, but he stood up and said to himself, "I got it, I finally got it." "I'm going to go out.

How could I let this madman take the bloody furnace for nothing, my right hand took the dagger from his sleeve, and swung it at the net, and the sturdy net was instantly cut into a big hole, and I quickly got out of the net, jumped up, took two quick steps forward, grabbed him by the back of the collar with my left hand, and the dagger in my right hand was already pressed into his neck.

"Don't go, let's talk a few more words." I smiled at the stunned Liu Qing.

"You, you want to ...... What to talk about? ......" he asked, a little out of breath.

"What the hell do you want to do with the Blood Rock Furnace?" I asked. I don't know if it was because the movement just now was too violent or because of the nervousness of what he was about to say, his heart was beating wildly, as if he was beating a small drum in his ear.

"Haha, cough, Tao Zhihuan,...... Even if you get out of here, you won't be able to escape ...... My Liu family's tracking, as long as the Blood Rock Furnace has been on you, you will be like ...... Like a mouse, keep running away, haha......" he smirked.

"Don't talk nonsense, just tell me what you want to do!" I shouted angrily.

"I ......" he was just about to answer, the small door on the stone wall opened again, and I looked at the door, there were two familiar faces, it was actually Rui Wei and Wang Shaoting!

They looked anxious, probably thinking that I was trapped, so they rushed in breathlessly, but when they entered the house, they found that it was actually me who was holding the knife to someone's neck with a fierce expression!

As soon as Liu Qing saw outsiders, he was startled at first, and then as if he had immediately returned to normal, he returned to the appearance of a polite scholar, and shouted aggrievedly: "Save me!" This...... This man is going to kill me! ”

Well, I don't think I can ask anything anymore, I appreciate the kindness of these two, but you really didn't come at the right time!
