121 Two stayed, and two go
The time witch is surnamed Ge and behaves strangely, and through the law of time, she ingested Lin Xue and others into her space, just to let Ji Shuiyue kill herself, which is really incredible. But on the other hand, her words, deeds and behavior undoubtedly reflect her evil intentions.
The Outer Dao Society is called an evil demon, and after watching the Time Witch, Lin Xue is not difficult to understand.
However, the time witch still left them a way to survive after all, and it can be regarded as evil but not evil.
When Ji Shuiyue spoke, everyone could clearly see that the outside space, including the sky and the earth, was all cracking, and then falling down with a bang, falling into the endless abyss of darkness. But only this place where they were, centered on the Heavenly Tree, within a radius of a hundred meters, did not change anything.
"This is an area where time stands still. Looking at the shocked and puzzled expressions on the faces of Lin Ze and the others, Ji Shuiyue explained, "The law of time of the time witch clone is not complete, and if she wants to maintain the existence of this entire space copied by the ontology, she must let herself be free from time, so the place we are staying in now has no concept of time, no matter how long it has passed, it will stay at the original moment...... In other words, as long as the real Time Witch does not die, no matter who stays here, she will not grow old or die, even after tens of millions of years, it will only be exactly the same as when she first came here. ”
"This is the instinct of the Time Witch, right?" The person who spoke was Wu Zhan, because of the death of the Time Witch clone, their control was also lifted, and he was walking with Qin Shu at this moment.
Ji Shuiyue nodded, "Your insight is good, this is indeed the instinct of the Time Witch." I can sense that the Time Witch is not a human like us, she should be a higher being...... Maybe she's just time itself. ”
"Time itself?" Lin Xue was taken aback, he had never heard of time still appearing in human form. But then again, since even air, water, and flame produce sword souls, it makes sense that life is born out of time.
And in this way, it has become a matter of course that the time witch will have such a terrifying law of time.
Ji Shuiyue shook her head again, "I'm not sure either, it's just a guess, you don't need to pay attention to this, now I'll tell you, how to leave this space......"
Everyone immediately listened with their ears pricked up, although staying here, they would gain immortality, but this was only a range of less than a hundred meters to move, and there was nothing except a big tree, even if it was immortal, what was the use? It was no different from being imprisoned, and no one wanted to stay in this place.
"Please senior, how should we leave?" Qin Injury asked respectfully, although in front of ordinary people, Qin Injury looked extremely arrogant, but in the face of real masters, he would still have a humble heart. Moreover, in the face of Ji Shuiyue, an ancient power comparable to the Time Witch, he can indeed only be regarded as a junior.
Ji Shuiyue stretched out her hand and pointed, and everyone took advantage of the situation to see that it was the only tree.
"This tree is the only way for you to get out of here, but ......" Speaking of this, Ji Shuiyue frowned, looking embarrassed, "But if you want to open it, you must pay a price." ”
"At what cost?"
"Life. Ji Shuiyue said in a deep voice, "Only by paying a life can another person leave from here." ”
"Ahh
"Of course, this is a place where people don't grow old and don't die, and even if they die, people will still come back to life, but if people who have 'died' once want to leave here again, it is no longer possible. Unless there is a great power that can break through the confines of this space and is willing to bring him out, he will be trapped here forever. ”
"And the most important point, the passage to the present world must be voluntarily opened by sending life as a sacrifice, whether it is forced or killed, it cannot be opened......" Speaking of this, Ji Shuiyue paused and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, if I can recover more than half of my strength, I can take you out, but now I can't do it." ”
"The seniors have said it, and this matter is not your fault, so why should the seniors apologize. Wu Zhan shook his head and said indifferently. Although they will be ingested here because of Ji Shuiyue, if you really want to talk about it, Ji Shuiyue is also a victim, and the real culprit is the Time Witch.
People like Wu Zhan naturally wouldn't blame Ji Shuiyue for the responsibility.
"Thank you...... Ahem!" Ji Shuiyue smiled slightly, but in an instant she coughed violently, and the cracks on her body became more obvious, "I don't have much time left...... Who goes and who stays...... You decide for yourselves...... bar. ”
Speaking of this, Ji Shuiyue's body turned into a point of light in an instant, and then floated in the void for a moment, and swooped into the peerless sword in Lin Ze's hand.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xue was somewhat surprised, he thought that Ji Shuiyue would disappear like this, but he didn't expect to enter the Peerless Sword. In this way, wouldn't he be accompanied by an ancient power at any time?
Of course, it would take at least a few hundred years for Ji Shuiyue to recover, so even if Ji Shuiyue was inside the Peerless Sword, it wouldn't mean much to him, and more importantly, it was still a question of whether he could get out of here.
Four people can only go out two, and it's a tough choice anyway.
After all, who wants to be trapped in this place forever, it is worse than death!
For a while, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was extremely silent.
After a while, Qin Shu suddenly opened his mouth and asked Lin Ze, "Is there any wine?"
"Uh...... There are a few. Lin Xue was stunned for a moment, and immediately took out a jar of wine from the Qiankun cave. Wine is also a necessity for a martial artist, and he will naturally put some of it, but he usually doesn't drink it.
Qin Shu took the wine jar and said, "Where's the bowl?"
So Lin Xue took a few more bowls out, but Qin Shu only took two, then filled the bowls with wine, handed one of them to Wu Zhan, and said, "Come, surnamed Wu, after doing this bowl of wine, let's go on the road." ”
Wu Zhan smiled faintly, stretched out his hand to take it, and had a toast with Qin Zhan without hesitation.
"Seniors, you ......" Lin Ze suddenly understood.
Qin Shen looked at him with a smile, looked at Li Kun again, and said: "Three months ago, I and the surnamed Wu had the heart of death, in order to send you out, although it failed, but at least now we don't have to die, and we can earn a little bit." ”
"But ......"
Lin Ze instinctively wanted to say something, but before he could finish speaking, Wu Zhan asked rhetorically, "Do you want to stay here for our two old things?"
Lin Ze was speechless.
Trapped in this kind of place all his life, of course he is unwilling and unwilling. It is not denied that just now, when he understood that Wu Zhan and Qin Shu were willing to sacrifice themselves to send him and Li Kun out, he had a little joy in his heart, because he could be free, after all, people are selfish.
But more than that, it's unbearable.
He didn't want to stay here, and at the same time, he didn't want others to sacrifice for him, but in the current situation, he could only sacrifice two people to fulfill the other two.
Lin Ze is not an arrogant person, knowing that some things are inevitable and cannot be changed, he immediately knelt down on his knees, kowtowed to the two of them a few times, and said: "The two seniors are very kind, Lin Ze will never forget it in this life." I swear to the heavens that if one day I can break through the limitations of the Time Witch, no matter what the difficulties, I will save the two seniors!"
At the same time, Li Kun also knelt down, swore a big oath, and kowtowed to the two.
The sacrifices made by Qin Shu and Wu Zhan for them were completely worthy of their ten knees and nine knocks.
"This is nonsense. Qin Shu waved his hand indifferently, with a tone of indifference, but there was a somewhat relieved smile on his face, "Of course, we have written down the words, and we will wait." Other than that...... Let's be practical first, take out all the wine and food in your space bag, and don't have any leftovers, understand?"
In the last sentence, Qin Shen's tone was particularly heavy.
In this regard, Lin Xue naturally did not hesitate, except for a few important things and the little fox, all the things in the Qiankun Cave were taken out by him and placed under the big tree.
These can be regarded as the only little thoughts he can give to Qin Zhan and Wu Zhan now.
"Master, finally...... Let me toast you. Then, Li Kun picked up a wine jar, poured himself a bowl, and said to Qin Hurt with a sad face.
But in the blink of an eye, Qin Shen had already rushed in front of him like lightning, kicking him out with one kick, and the wine bowl and sprinkler water suddenly flew into the air, and countless drinks spilled. Qin Shen came out like an electric shot again, and at a speed that the naked eye couldn't catch at all, he took all the spilled wine into his bowl.
Then he glared at Li Kun angrily and scolded, "You bastard little ghost! This is what you can drink?!"
That stingy appearance is even more miser than a miser.
Li Kun was dumbfounded, and Lin Xue was also dumbfounded, as if he couldn't believe that Qin Shen, who could easily abandon even his life and freedom, would be so angry for a bowl of wine.
But it's not hard to understand when you think about it...... In this space, there is nothing for leisure and entertainment except for the only little wine and food, and Qin Shu and Wu Zhan have to stay here for decades or even hundreds of years, or even longer, then these drinks and food are the only things that can comfort their loneliness, how can Li Kun eat it.
"Lin Ze, come here. Wu Zhan shook his head, looking like he couldn't laugh or cry, and then called Lin Xue to his side and said, "Although you haven't officially entered the Sword Martial Arts Academy, you were recruited by me personally, and you can barely be regarded as half of my disciple, that piece of black jade order, do you still have it?"
"Yes, the juniors have always carried it. Lin Xue took out the black jade order from the Qiankun cave and said respectfully.
Wu Zhan nodded with satisfaction, and said with a straight face: "This black jade order will be yours from now on." ”
