Chapter 64: Behind the Scenes

The second day was filled with some gibberish and speculation about last night's events. Some people say that last night, the murderer had the audacity to break into the city lord's mansion and make waves. Others said that someone was killed again last night. In short, when it is difficult for the city lord to make a reasonable explanation, the unknown crisis that surrounds the city and does not know when it will appear makes the people of the city panic. Almost everyone thought that the lord of the castle was trying to cover up the facts, because he was afraid that the rampant influence of the murderers would be too great.

And how dare the city lord come forward to explain to appease the people? I am afraid that he borrowed 10,000 courages from him, and he will never dare to reveal the facts. Although some families in the city came to offer condolences, they could only lie that the robbers had stolen important things from the city lord's mansion. Of course, it's almost okay to deceive ordinary people. You must know which robber dares to steal into the city lord's mansion? But smart people know how to advance and retreat, so they naturally know what to say and ask.

Of course, the heavenly evil who was the initiator had no conscience at the moment and ran to Yinqian Village. For some reason, Heavenly Evil always felt that Lei Bo, the high priest of Yinqian Village, seemed to be too polite to him. According to the information obtained from some observers and conversations with some petty traders in the past few days, we know that Yinqian Village is an extremely conservative and stubborn village. They do not welcome unimportant people into the village, and even if relatives are inside, they have to be informed before they can be received. Moreover, they rarely let relatives stay in the village. So, why did Thunder invite him to their village several times? Could it be that they had something to do with the murder in the city? Although these seemed to be two related things, the Heavenly Evil still instinctively guessed.

In that case, let's just get straight to the point. Heavenly Evil didn't want to use that kind of side-knocking method, and he also felt that Lei Bo had no ill will towards him. He wasn't from here, and he had nothing to do with anything here. In the absence of opposing interests, it seems that the motivation is lost. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the case of being misunderstood and killed by mistake cannot be ruled out.

When Fei Fei learned that the Heavenly Demon was in the living room, she was excited to go. When he arrived at the door of the living room, he suddenly thought that his rash intrusion would make him feel that he was an impolite person?

Seeing Uncle Ping in the kitchen coming out with refreshments, he ran over with a smile in his eyes: "Uncle Ping!"

Uncle Ping was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that it was his own young lady, he smiled and said, "It turned out to be a young lady, are you hungry?" Wait a minute, how about I cook a bowl of beef noodles for you as soon as I serve the guests refreshments?"

"Oops, Uncle Ping. I used to be a bit of a glutton, but that was in the past, and I wanted to learn some housework, so I might as well bring the refreshments in for you. Fei Fei was coquettish at first, then the more she talked, the more "serious" she became, and finally she couldn't wait to break the refreshments.

Uncle Ping looked at her battle situation, and he didn't know and thought it was a robber. In order to avoid the refreshments falling out, I had to let her pick it up. Looking at Fei Fei, who ran to the living room with a soft laugh with refreshments, Uncle Ping was full of emotion in his heart, and there was a prelude to old tears: "It seems that Miss has finally grown up." ”

When Fei Fei broke in, she seemed to find that the atmosphere was not right. Because Grandpa was sitting there with a solemn face and pondering. On a normal basis, he usually greets guests with a slight smile. Looking at the man again, he stood expressionless, as if in deep thought, as if meditating, and as if waiting for something. Maybe it's waiting for a reply from my grandfather.

"What are you talking about?"

"Tell me about you naughty man. You haven't caused trouble to your grandfather in the past, and if I have such a granddaughter, I'm afraid that I will be ten or eight years old because of worry. ”

In the face of the evil jokes, Fei Fei was not angry but happy. Because they're talking about themselves, it means that they care about themselves. Grandpa doesn't need to say it, it's just that his words ・・・・・・. The more she thought about it, the more ashamed she became, Fei Fei deliberately got angry and said: "Okay, you dare to make fun of me, be careful that I make you cry and kneel on the ground next time to beg for mercy." ”

"Begging for mercy, begging for mercy, please let us go, regardless of the adult. I have young parents and weak wives and young children, please let me go. The Heavenly Evil pretended to cry and laughed, and immediately amused Fei Fei to laugh.

"Alright, Fifi. Stop messing around, we have important things to talk about, you get out of here. Rapoo reprimanded with a straight face.

Fei Fei reluctantly muttered softly and walked out: "Hmph, what's important, you have just met." ”

After Fei Fei walked out, Tianxie's face returned to his solemnity: "High Priestess, you haven't answered my doubts yet." Why do you want to be close to me?"

"Young man, if I told you the truth, would you help me?"

"It depends on what. I have never done anything to sacrifice others for my own benefit, nor have I done anything terrible or evil that hurts heaven and reason. ”

"So, what about saving people?"

"Whom?"

"People of the world. ”

Heavenly evil was stunned, to say that the world today contains three continents. The other two continents were ruled by the Empire, and only here were the Three Kingdoms that lasted for a hundred years. Even if there was something going on here, and why did it affect the other two empires?, I was surprised and wondered, and I was about to ask, but I was interrupted by Rapo's words and attracted all attention.

"Do you know the reason for the many murders in the past month or so?"

"What is it for? Why kill innocent civilians? They shouldn't affect the interests of others. ”

"Murders happen every day. The death of one or two people is insignificant in the eyes of those people. However, there are thousands of ways to kill people, but that one is the most terrifying. Absorbing the essence and blood of the living is to sacrifice spiritual weapons above the holy level. Legend has it that a magic weapon appeared 800 years ago, and no one knows where it came from. The person who obtained that magic weapon alone made the world continue the war for twenty years, and all the creatures in the world were in water and fire. Later, the man was defeated, and the magic weapon somehow shattered into five pieces, each of which turned into a ring. As long as that kind of ring absorbs the essence and blood of a living person, it can provide the holder with powerful spiritual power. Moreover, once the ring has absorbed the essence blood, it must be sacrificed with the essence blood of a living person every once in a while, otherwise the ring will fall asleep. Once the ring is asleep, there is no telling how long it will take to wake up. ”

"What kind of magic weapon is that?"

"That magic weapon is called the Heart of the Underworld, and according to legend, it was the fall of the Emperor of the Underworld, which pierced through the void. It is rumored that as long as you gather five rings, and let the five rings be gathered together in a comfortable state, then the heart of Hades will be formed. Then, the one who obtains the heart of Hades is the next Hades. ”

"You mean that the thing in the city is that someone sacrifices that kind of ring? he could have committed crimes elsewhere, so why choose a city in a densely populated place?"

"Because, the ancestor of our village is one of the owners of the Ring of the Dead. Eight hundred years have passed, and the whereabouts of the Ring are intricate. Some of them were passed on to their descendants, some were passed on to their disciples, and some were lost back and forth in the struggle of others. It's not easy to gather five rings, so I think it's a huge conspiracy. ”

"You mean, the man has the rings, but not all of them. He committed crimes in the city just to get the word out. And those who are the bearers of the Ring will definitely come here to investigate and peep when they hear the news. So he waited for the men to come to the door of their own accord. ”

"That's right, it's not easy to find the whereabouts of every ring. Since they can't find it, let them find it themselves. It can be seen that this man is really a very intelligent man. Since you plan to eat it all alone, your own strength is immeasurable. ”

"Why did you choose me? I'm also a stranger from a foreign land, most likely one of the other Mortal Ring holders. ”

"Ahaha, the old man has lived all his life, although his eyes are getting worse and worse, but it is still okay to watch people. Not everyone can sing that kind of heartfelt singing, and it is difficult for those who are not emotionally rich to sing. The old man could only gamble, because he knew that if he didn't take any action, he was afraid that he would bring ruin to Yinqian Village. Since they chose this city, it is very likely that they already know that one of the Rings is with us. ”

"So, how do you need me to help you?"

"In any case, we must first figure out who is behind this conspiracy and stop this catastrophe. Those who try to obtain the ordination are all in the hope of becoming the next king of Hades. Moreover, to sacrifice the Immortal Ring, you must constantly use the blood of the living, that is, you must keep killing innocents. It can be seen that the people who use the ring are not from Liangshan. Our ancestors left ancestral teachings, and we must not use the power of the precepts until the disaster of extermination. Therefore, the ancestor used a secret method to seal the power of the Ring of the Underworld, so that the Ring has been in a state of sleep. Unless the seal is broken, it will never wake up. ”

"If what you're saying is true, I'm willing to be involved, but not to help you. Also, I will only act in my own way, and I will not obey you. ”

"This catastrophe may not be something we can control. I can only do my best. I'll do my best to provide you with information, and it's up to you what you need to do."

"Why doesn't anyone with righteousness want to become the king of Hades?

A trace of astonishment flashed in Lei Bai's eyes, and he said in a hoarse and dry voice: "The integration of the five immortal rings requires 200,000 people to carry out the blood sacrifice ceremony. ”

Tianxie's body was stunned, and he was shocked and frightened in his heart, so he shook his hand and walked quickly. Two hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, it's terrible. If this is true, it is simply appalling and creepy.

Thinking about Rapo's words along the way, analyzing the truth and falsehood. First of all, it is necessary to investigate whether what he says is true. Even if what he said was true, then it could not be ruled out that he was also one of the people who wanted to collect the rings. He said that there was a secret method on his ancestors to seal the Ring, do you want to use me to find the Ring and seal it for him. Because if you tell me directly to seal the ring you have obtained to him, you will leak your intentions. If that were the case, then I would be a sinner who aided the abuse.

"Whew・・・・・・・ things are getting harder and harder. It seems to be a bottomless quagmire, and there is no need for a wandering traveler like me to be involved again.

Could it be that someone in this world will be bored and want to find some excitement, so they will set themselves on fire and play to death for no reason?" Tianxiao muttered some words of self-comfort, and the expression on his face suddenly changed to a light cloud, and he smiled bitterly and cried with a sad face: "There may be some people in this world who specialize in doing stupid things but are not stupid, which is really sad and lamentable." ”

It's okay if you don't know, since you know such a hurtful thing, the heavenly evil will never turn a blind eye. This kind of thing is rather credible than not, as long as it is sure that it is true, then even if you give up your life, what does it matter?
