When Tang Xiaohao heard the word sacrifice, he naturally remembered the conversation when he first summoned the credit spirit Tang Rong Rong to come out.

Yes, Tang Rong Rong said at that time, the reason why it is called credit Ling, is because it needs to be repaid after the loan, his first call is with a tear, and he also needs to make offerings on weekdays, but the way of offering is not so troublesome, and Tang Rong Rong is also easier to speak.

As for the guy in front of him called Zhan Tianya, he looks extremely brutal and ferocious, and he doesn't seem to be so easy to communicate.

Tang Xiaohao looked at the small bell in the distance: "What is the sacrifice?"

The little bell looked at Zhan Tianya and said, "You have to ask him, and besides, it's only useful if you ask, you summoned him."

Tang Xiaohao glanced at Su Mu, Su Mu nodded at him slightly, signaling him not to panic, he was always there.

Tang Xiaohao stepped forward slowly, and said with a smile: "This general, the end of the world, right? War General, I'm sorry, I don't know the rules very well, and I inadvertently summoned you, let me ask first, did you pronounce that spell correctly just now?"

Zhan Tianya looked sideways at Tang Xiaohao and said, "Yes."

Tang Xiaohao nodded and said, "Then, what else do I need to do before you can stop and put down my lovely sister Cheng Ling."

Tang Rongrong vigorously broke Zhan Tianya's fingers to loosen his neck, and then corrected, "It's my sister!"

It's all like this, and I'm still entangled in the name. Tang Xiaohao had no choice but to correct, "Yes, sister, Sister Chengling."

Zhan Tianya shouted, "The banner spirit is summoned with blood, and the living beings are sacrificed and offered."

"Huh?" Tang Xiaohao's face was full of puzzlement, "Creatures? Sacrifice? Offerings?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Xiaohao saw Tang Rongrong nodding towards him, indicating that Zhan Tianya was not lying.

"Everything is negotiable," Tang Xiaohao put on that silly smile again, "You put her down first, if something happens to her, I will definitely destroy the Dragon Armor Order, and everyone will break the net."

When Zhan Tianya heard this, he let go of Tang Rongrong, and after being rescued, Tang Rongrong covered his neck and walked to Tang Xiaohao's side.

When Dongshan Xiao stepped forward to care, he was frightened away by Tang Rongrong's posture of lifting his feet.

Tang Xiaohao asked Tang Rongrong in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

Tang Rongrong shook his head: "I'm fine, but you're in big trouble."

Tang Xiaohao was puzzled: "I'm in big trouble? Why?"

Tang Rongrong was just about to explain, when the burly Zhan Tianya stepped forward: "If you destroy the Dragon Armor Order, it will give me complete freedom, and at the same time, those living fires above your head will be out of control, and everything you can see will be destroyed as a result, not even the Nine Heavens Gods can extinguish!"

Tang Xiaohao subconsciously looked up at the black flames above his head, how could he not connect them with the fire of living beings that Zhan Tianya said in his mouth, although he could know from the current situation of Wulian Mountain that those things were terrifying.

Tang Xiaohao had to ask Tang Rongrong, "Hey, what are these black fires?"

Tang Rongrong explained: "It is the living soul of a person, which is drawn out of the human body alive, and cannot become a dead soul, and when it gathers to a certain number, it will become this kind of fire of life."

In fact, these black fires are not the dark fire that Gu Huaiyi and others thought before, the dark fire is indeed terrifying, but it is far less than the fire of the soul, and the fire of the soul has another word, that is, the fire of life.

Su Mu asked, "Isn't the fire of life a metaphor?"

Higashiyama Takashi also said beside him: "As the old saying goes, the death of people in the world is not a trivial matter. Once you die, you will never see the sun and the moon again, and your veins and bones will become soil. Death is also ...... serious matter."

Tang Rongrong glanced at Dongshan Xiao: "Shut up! The text is not on topic!"

Tang Xiaohao hurriedly asked, "What does it mean?"

Tang Rongrong elaborated: "The so-called animism of all things, and the spirit of all things comes from life. Man lives like a burning flame, which is why some people die like a lamp goes out. If human life can be imprisoned at the moment of death, this kind of living fire will be formed, which can burn everything in the world, because life is the most precious and most powerful weapon."

Tang Xiaohao nodded slightly

"Roughly understood."

After that, Tang Xiaohao looked at the tall Banner Spirit Zhan Tianya in front of him and said, "What does it mean to sacrifice the living beings you want?"

Zhan Tianya said: "Whether intentionally or unintentionally, it was you who summoned me, according to the original contract set by the Nine Heavens God, I will be your banner spirit in the future, and I should serve you forever, but there is a price to summon me, and the price is sacrifice."

Tang Xiaohao became more and more confused, so he had to ask Tang Rongrong again: "What is the original contract?"

Tang Rongrong said helplessly: "You don't have to worry about this, it is a rule set by the Nine Heavens God a long time ago, and we can't change it, we can only follow it."

Tang Xiaohao said, "Sacrifice means that you have to kill one?"

Zhan Tianya looked at the little bell and the others in the distance: "Yes, whether it is a human, an elf or a demon spirit, or even a decanter, you don't need to do it, you only need to choose one person."

Tang Xiaohao said, "That is to say, every time you are summoned in the future, someone must die?"

Zhan Tianya nodded: "That's right, the more sacrifices I make, the stronger I will be."

Tang Xiaohao touched his chin and thought, and then asked, "Then you and those black flames complement each other, is that what you mean?"

Zhan Tianya said: "You can say that, but it's not accurate, the black flames exist because of me, but even if I disappear, those black fires will still exist."

Tang Xiaohao frowned and said, "It sounds like you're a completely evil thing, you shouldn't exist in this world at all."

After that, Tang Xiaohao turned around and asked Tang Rongrong in a low voice, "Is there a way to seal this thing?" Or kill him?"

Tang Rongrong shook his head: "There should be, but there is absolutely no way to do it right now."

Tang Xiaohao asked, "Compared with this flag spirit and the thousand-year-old nine-tailed fox, who is more powerful?"

Tang Rongrong sighed and said, "On the premise of not having the fire of the soul, the nine-tailed fox is powerful, but this flag spirit has the blessing of the fire of the soul, which is almost equal to the invincible."

Tang Xiaohao's eyes rolled: "In other words, although I can defeat the Nine-Tailed Fox with you, but because of those living fires, neither of us has the slightest chance of winning?"

Tang Rong shook his head.

Tang Xiaohao asked again, "One must die?"

Tang Rong Rong nodded.

Tang Xiaohao asked again, "Is there any other choice?"

Tang Rong shook his head.

Tang Xiaohao looked at Tang Rongrong, and then looked at Su Mu.

Su Mu was expressionless, not afraid, and not worried.

When Tang Xiaohao's gaze swept over the other people in the distance, except for the little bell and Bao Meng, everyone else was nervous, especially when they saw Tang Xiaohao raise his hand and stretch out his index finger.

Tang Xiaohao began to point on everyone around him with his index finger: "Point the soldiers, fight on horseback, and whoever you point to will be buried."

When the last word of burial came out, Tang Xiaohao's index finger pointed at himself.

Tang Xiaohao looked at his index finger: "Finish calf, how can it be me?"

Zhan Tianya's head tilted slightly to one side, as if he was very puzzled.

The other people present were all stunned, and the previous nervousness had all turned into doubts, only Su Mu knew from the beginning that Tang Xiaohao would do this.

Because he knows this seemingly cynical colt too well.

Although Xiao Ling and Bao Meng also knew that Tang Xiaohao would not sacrifice others casually, they did not expect that he would choose to sacrifice himself.

Tang Rongrong grabbed Tang Xiaohao's index finger: "What are you doing!?" It's a joke!"

Dongshan Xiao looked at Tang Xiaohao with a smile on his face: "Are you crazy?"

Su Mu said calmly, "He's not crazy, he's not joking, he's serious."

Zhan Tianya was not only puzzled, but also shocked: "Why?"

"Why?" Tang Xiaohao scratched his head and thought for a while, "Because I don't have any power to decide the life and death of others."

Tang Xiaohao's words made Ji Chengying's heart tremble in the distance.

As the emperor, Ji Chengying has the power to decide the life and death of others, but it is not absolute power, because the emperor also needs a reason to kill people. But Ji Chengying clearly remembered that when learning the way of the emperor, killing or not killing was not only two kinds of thinking, but also two behaviors, and at the same time, they were also playing with each other.

Is it a good emperor if you don't kill? No, the establishment and consolidation of a dynasty are built on countless lives, which is a cruel and inevitable reality.

It's just that, unless it's a tyrannical and brainless person by nature, normal people know the consequences of indiscriminate killing.

Thus, when a person gains the power to control the life and death of others, he can see through his actions.

Ji Chengying couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Horses, people only have one life, don't joke."

Tang Xiaohao looked at Ji Chengying: "Lord Wang, whoever is born between heaven and earth will die, so it is inevitable that my generation will worry about the living, and it is better to die than to die."

But where life between heaven and earth is bound to face death, this is unavoidable, Tang Xiaohao's move is a careful consideration made with the mind of a normal living person, forcing life, whether it is his own or others', is wrong.

Even though Ji Chengying understood the meaning of Tang Xiaohao's words, he still didn't understand why he could sacrifice himself so simply.

"The firstborn, the heavens; Those who cultivate it are also people!" Tang Xiaohao Ji Chengying, he knew what the emperor was thinking at this moment, but there was another sentence behind these words, and he didn't say it.

Those who can raise the birth of heaven and do not pick up the son of heaven are called the Son of Heaven.

The one who can maintain the life created by Heaven and not damage it is the Son of Heaven!

Tang Xiaohao didn't know Ji Chengying, but he knew that Ji Chengying was unwilling to sit on the dragon chair, but if he wanted to give up the throne, then the land of Jiuyuan would fall into endless and complete war.

Ji Chengying naturally knew the latter sentence, because it was the first sentence that his mother Empress Dowager Jiang said to him after he succeeded to the throne.

However, Ji Chengying has never really thought about this, although he is similar to Tang Xiaohao, he also thinks about how to survive and how to protect himself, but he has no concept of the world, the people, and the hundred officials, so how can he understand life and death and sacrifice.

He was thinking, what would he do if he switched tunes with Tang Xiaohao at this time? Will he also be self-sacrificing?

The gluttony on Zhan Tianya's face continued to move, looking very restless, and he asked again, "Why?"

Tang Xiaohao frowned and said, "Where do I know so much why? Need to know why? Either I die, or someone else dies, if I let others die, I will be equivalent to living, then it is better to die, that's it, come on, hurry."

Zhan Tianya asked, "You're not afraid of death?"

Tang Xiaohao was a little impatient: "How can I not be afraid of death? Not only am I afraid of death, but I am also very afraid of pain, so when you do it, please make it difficult and give me a good time."

Zhan Tianya was still staring at Tang Xiaohao: "These people are your beloved relatives and friends?"

"Who are they, does it matter?" Tang Xiaohao looked up at Zhan Tianya, "You talk a lot of nonsense, it's troublesome, hurry up!"

Zhan Tianya raised his fist when he heard this, and Su Mu was directly in front of Tang Xiaohao, Tang Rongrong also immediately put on a fighting posture, and Dongshan Xiao, who was originally extremely scared, trembled, but also stood beside him.
