Chapter 214: The Duties of the Dart Master
Zhao Chen's furrowed eyebrows stretched out at this time, because about the "tragedy" that happened in front of him, that Senior Brother Chen had mentioned it just now, but he couldn't connect them for a while.
It turns out that the so-called three "authentic sects" in this world have always preached that people are born sinful and must atone for their sins in order to be protected by heaven and earth.
The so-called atonement method is that every family must provide a baby every ten years and give it to the "authentic" disciples to raise in a unified manner.
These babies are usually well cared for, and even practice some simple exercises to strengthen their qi and blood and soul, but they will be forcibly erased from their minds, and they will not know any joys, sorrows, or sorrows.
And when they reach adulthood, they will be slaughtered one by one like animals as they are now, and they will be called "souls", that is, their "spirits" will be sent to heaven.
Yes, the so-called "Duling School" is a sect established to help the authentic sect do these dirty work.
According to Chen Zhi, these "atonementers" are actually the resources used by the "authentic" disciples in their cultivation.
Their souls will be collected and sent to the "Holy Spirit Sect", their blood will be sealed and sent to the "Blood God Sect", and their bones will be removed from their muscles and sent to the "White Jade Sect......
And that flesh and blood will also be refined into a "Red Blood Pill" and sold to warriors to generate income for local villagers and townspeople.
Therefore, every time this so-called "soul" ceremony is held, it is a "festival" for these villagers...... Even if it is likely that it is their brothers and children who are killed.
"What a twisted 'order'!" Zhao Chen saw that the remaining few people were also about to be killed, but he didn't have the slightest intention of saving people.
Because he can't see the slightest desire to survive in the eyes of those people, even if they are saved this time, they will still return to the "circle" and wait for the next slaughter.
And it is impossible for Zhao Chen to take them all the time and teach them how to survive.
When he was about to leave, he saw a young man suddenly break into the circle, protect a woman with blank eyes, and shout loudly to the man who raised the guillotine: "Father, this is my sister!"
"It's your own daughter, how can you bear to kill her!"
The man holding the guillotine in his hand was full of incredulity when he heard this, and said sharply: "Xiao Qi, what are you doing?"
"What sister? Since ancient times, the 'Son of Atonement' has been the messenger of heaven and earth, the Holy Spirit who conveys our repentance to heaven and earth.
"You've been talking gibberish since you came back from your study tour, isn't it hysteria?"
As he spoke, he was about to pull it away.
The young man defended the woman behind him and argued: "No! That's not right!
"Heaven and earth don't need us to atone for our sins, and the so-called 'son of atonement' is just an authentic cultivation resource."
As soon as these words came out, everyone, including his father, suddenly changed color, and the black-clothed monk who had collected souls before directly gathered the power of heaven and earth on his body, and asked in a cold voice, "Where did you get this thought?" ”
The young man was so excited by the momentum that he took several steps back, but when he thought that his sister still had to rely on himself, he still plucked up his courage and said:
"When I traveled to Lijiang Mansion, I heard that Yi Lingxiao, the ancestor of the Heavenly Sword Sect, was born as a 'son of atonement', but now he is one of the nine grandmasters.
"If people really need to atone for their sins, Senior Yi would have been punished by heaven for this move, how could he become a grandmaster?"
Hearing this, the black-clothed monk looked at the young man with cold eyes for a long time, and then turned his head to the man holding the guillotine and said, "Old Lu, don't blame me for not being merciful, your son can't stay!" ”
The guillotine man's face showed a look of panic, and while kneeling down and begging for mercy, he scolded the young man: "Evil obstacles, don't you hurry up and ask for sin." ”
"I wasn't wrong! Why plead guilty? The young man's body couldn't help but tremble, but he still said hard.
And at this time, tears also flowed from the eyes of the girl behind him, and a word muttered in her mouth:
"Brother......
The young man was stunned for a moment, and then ecstatic, he had always sneaked into the "circle" to teach his sister as a "human", but he never received a response.
This made him very depressed for a while, and even wondered if he was really mistaken, and the "son of atonement" was no longer human?
But now his sister's "brother" has swept away all his doubts, and even the momentum of the blackfriar can no longer make him afraid.
My sister is human! All the sons of atonement are men! And "people" should not be treated like this!
Facing the young man who seemed to be glowing, the black-clothed monk licked his lips and said with a smile: "What a dazzling faith, your soul must be very, very delicious!"
"But boy, you have to remember that without power, all faith is empty talk.
"Your sister is the 'Son of Atonement', I say yes, she is!"
After speaking, as if he was afraid that the other party's belief would suddenly disappear, he flew up without hesitation and stabbed the young man's eyebrows with a sword.
This sword not only has a close speed, but also has the ability to dementor souls, which is the "Regent Sword" in "The Thirteen Swords of Yin Spirit".
Using such a trick to deal with a young man who has just been trained is also the recognition of the blackfriar's belief in youth.
If nothing else, the young man will not be lucky under this sword.
But just when he was locked by the sword light, there was no way to avoid it, so he had to protect his sister and close his eyes and wait for death, but an accident happened.
I saw an orange-red long sword coming first, directly breaking through the sword momentum of the black-clothed monk, and then the crimson true qi spread to the black-clothed man's body along the contact point of the two swords, burning violently in his body.
"Red Emperor Nourishing Yuan True Qi" practices "Nourishing Yuan" internally, and external use can ignite the true yuan and true qi of others, dissolving it into the most basic heaven and earth vitality.
In addition, this move also integrates the meaning of the "Sunshine Divine Sword", and the effect on the true qi of the Demon Dao is especially good.
"Ahh Magic! Magic ......"
The black-clothed monk immediately screamed, trying his best to extinguish the "Red Emperor Fire" in the meridians, but it was useless, and he could only watch his cultivation being burned and become a waste.
Zhao Chen glanced at the surrounding villagers who looked at him with different eyes such as panic, fear, and anger, and sneered at the black-clothed monk who was constantly rolling on the ground and wailing in pain, and said lightly: "In my eyes, you are also a 'son of atonement'.
"I said yes, you are!"
As soon as the words fell, a sword light slashed the neck of the black-clothed monk.
After doing this, Zhao Chen pulled the young man and his sister, who were still a little dazed, cast the "Divine Spell", and left the village.
However, he didn't run far, and stopped only a few dozen miles away.
It was only then that the young man came back to his senses, he shook it to the ground, and said solemnly: "Lu Linqi, thank you for saving your life!" ”
"Oh? Aren't you worried that I'm from the Demon Cult? Zhao Chen asked playfully.
Lu Linqi shook his head and said with a straight face: "I have experienced the southern capital city downstream, and I know that the Demon Sect is not as brutal as the authentic one portrays, but the people under its rule live and work in peace and contentment, and there is no heaven and earth to condemn crimes...... That's why I doubt the 'son of atonement.'" ”
Sure enough, with the unexpected rise of the "Demon Sect", no matter how traditional and deeply rooted the so-called "authentic" order is, there will still be doubts.
After sighing in his heart, Zhao Chen didn't take it to heart, after all, the reason why he would save people was not only because he was really infected by Lu Linqi's belief, but also because of the ......
"You don't have to thank me...... If you want to thank you, you should thank your sister! ”
It is your sister who is willing to give me everything she has in order not to be hurt for you, and I will make a move.
After all, protecting the "commodity" from loss is exactly what the "dart master" should do.
