Chapter XXXVI Execution

Inside each "niche" is a corpse.

The corpses were untouched, and they were all in the same posture - kneeling straight ahead, hands folded, and raised on their shoulders.

It's "on the shoulder", not "on the head". Because all the corpses were empty on their shoulders, and they were broken up to their necks.

The size of the "niches" on the walls is exactly the same, all of them are one foot in diameter and three feet deep. Looking up, one can see a head hanging directly above all the corpses, near the top of the "niche".

Without any ropes, it floats alone in the air and has a strange appearance.

All the heads are in the posture of opening their eyes, as if facing Xu Zhenyun and other "audiences"; At the same time, the mouth is slightly opened, and the teeth can be seen.

At a glance, there are countless corpses in the dense "niche".

All the corpses, without exception, the men were full of muscles, like bronze casting; No matter what kind of corpse, it is like a beautiful sculpture, and the majestic tension reminds Xu Zhenyun of the statue of David inexplicably. The head is also staring, as if the spirit is there.

The woman's body is neat and delicate, like a jade carving. In particular, the separation of the body and the upper and lower hollow brings a special sense of delicacy and emptiness, which seems to be real and illusory.

As for "horror", "blood", it is also completely non-existent.

Because even the section of the neck is completely smooth, flat like a smooth slate.

Xu Zhenyun calmly felt that there were so many corpses here, but there was no imaginary "resentment".

I don't know if it was suppressed and purified, or if it was originally like this!

Looking at any one of the "niches" alone, the spiritual impact is within the bearable range; However, if you look at the walls and look at the walls, it seems that all the "heads" and "figures" are immediately enlarged, filled in the present, and layered on top of each other.

It was as if all the corpses were "united" into one man; The heaviness came over my face, and my mind was immediately dizzy.

Xu Zhenyun suddenly felt a lot of emotion - two flavors, positive and negative.

One of the flavors is called "Chasing the Original".

This made Xu Zhenyun think of Ru Mao's blood drinking, and thought of the most primitive survival and desire, born for food, fighting for courtship, martyrdom for enemy chieftains, and human bones as tools......

It's the breath of the wild.

The other flavor is "the end of the way". Because although the shrine in front of you is full of people who have been executed, there is a kind of abundance and perfection in their spirit and imagery.

In fact, they are not "savages", but extremely gifted people in cultivation. No matter how high or low the merit is, there is a taste of harmony.

The blending of two temperaments that should diverge from each other is a mixed taste.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, based on his imagination alone, Xu Zhenyun would never have imagined that in a "civilization of cultivating immortals", such a painting style would be presented......

In an instant, Xu Zhenyun seemed to have grasped some clues, as if he had seen a hint of the background of this world.

But the thought flickered, and then it passed away.

The sudden change in front of him disrupted Xu Zhenyun's thoughts.

Directly south of the wall, the earthy yellow ground directly below the proximal end of the extended "copper stick" suddenly gradually protruded, showing signs of quicksand rolling; Then one person appeared completely, it was Ji Zicheng.

Ji Zicheng was naked, and there was no rope on his body; But he knelt on the ground with his hands behind his back.

It can be seen that his eyes are clear and his expression is calm; It seems that any forbidden method in the soul at that time has been completely lifted; But although his body is suspected to be "free", it is difficult to move in the slightest.

After a few breaths, Ji Zicheng seemed to be under great pressure, and his eyes were faintly prominent; The upper body seems to have been pulled over, and it slowly leans forward!

When he looked at the ground squarely, and his head was level with the ground, a cyan light suddenly flashed between the heavens and the earth.

The "brass stick" that sits across the wall is as if it were not moving; But at this moment, a shadow was projected at Ji Zicheng!

In this instant, the "copper rods" are separated from the two parts at the ends of the wall, as if they become bright double edges, bent from the midpoint, like scissors closed.

The light flashed away; At this moment, Xu Zhenyun felt palpitations, and he seemed to feel the silence of heaven and earth.

The moment the brilliance completely dissipated, Ji Zicheng's head fell, and on the section of his neck, blood gushed several feet high.

Then an extremely mysterious existence converged from Ji Zicheng's body and head, condensed into a small round ball the size of a rice ball, and merged into two blades.

Xu Zhenyun's body trembled violently!

At this moment, there was a strong feeling of discomfort in his body, and he immediately felt the urge to retch.

Seeing a large number of corpses here, he felt mentally stressed, but Xu Zhenyun did not feel too uncomfortable, but had the spare energy to explore the unique "artistic conception" that fit the Tao.

But seeing this execution scene that didn't seem too exciting, his perception was instantly strengthened, and he quietly touched the bottom line of bearing.

It's like a bowl of thick soup, which can be drunk at will, and the taste is acceptable; But I don't know when, the MSG suddenly increased more than ten times, and the umami exceeded the limit, and in an instant, it went from "still bearable" to extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, this discomfort was just a moment for Xu Zhenyun.

Exhale and breathe in and immediately return to normal.

Turning their heads, Mu Xueqing and Xiang Tianwen both had red faces and their lips moved; But Shen Lianxin's three faces were pale, their pupils dilated, and they slowly sat down on the ground one after another!

"I'm much more capable of bearing it than they are?"

"Mu Xueqing and Xiang Tianwen's talents in cultivation are very close to mine, so there is not such a big gap; My endurance is so strong, it is obviously the effect of the Dao Heart Chessboard. This undoubtedly shows that the 'Shenwu Balance' in front of you is related to some elements at the bottom of this world......"

Xu Zhenyun analyzed in his heart.

At the same time, it can be seen that on the "cloud" on the right, except for the "four-star" youth, the rest of the seven or eight-grade cultivators are not much better than Shen Lianxin and Li Changqing; They all sat down with pale faces.

The head and headless body of Ji Zicheng, who was executed, suddenly floated up and flew towards the "wall" more than 100 zhang high.

After a short while, he flew into a vacant "niche" in the "second floor" and changed into a posture of kneeling facing straight forward and holding his hands above his head. The head is also floating far above.

The moment it returned to its position, the entire "wall" turned into an extremely rich golden yellow, and it lasted for three or five breaths.

Xu Zhenyun immediately had an intuitive impression in his heart: the Great Jin artifact "Shenwu Balance", what benefits did he get from it.

At the same time, Xu Zhenyun seems to feel that there is a great change in the back of the "wall", and I don't know if there is a "wall text"; It's just a pity that he can't see it.

The eyesight enhancement function of the Dao Heart Chessboard seems to have a weak effect within the "Polar Heaven".

After waiting for a few short breaths, when the body of "Ji Zicheng" was no different from all the other corpses, a thought clearly appeared in Xu Zhenyun's heart:

Four hundred and thirty-seven.

There was no hint, but whether it was Xu Zhenyun, Mu Xueqing, or Xiang Tianwen, they all suddenly realized in their hearts that this number refers to the total number of corpses existing in the "second layer"!

Wait, second layer?

Xu Zhenyun suddenly found that although he was carefully looking at the "niche" in the wall just now, his eyes didn't seem to move to the top layer intentionally or unintentionally!

This wall is a hundred feet high; Ten zhang high is one layer.

Mu Xiuxin said very clearly, Ji Zicheng is a first-class cultivator; It is now on the second floor......

Xu Zhenyun moved his gaze upwards suddenly!

The top floor also has a "niche", but it is much larger than the lower nine floors!

Nine floors below, the floor is ten zhang high, one hundred zhang wide, and a single "niche" is a square circle abbot. Combined with the gaps that have been vacated, there are about 90 wide and 90 high, for a total of 810 on each floor.

And the top layer, but is a "giant niche" that is close to ten zhang in length and width, lined up, a total of ten.

Such an obvious difference was not discovered because the attention was deliberately "slipped"!

At a glance -

In the first, third, fifth, and eighth niches, there was a corpse in each.

It is the same as the nine floors below, still in the posture of hanging the head and kneeling in front of the headless corpse.

The body in the first shrine was a man of great stature; The skin is slightly dark; The skull is also very special, its eyes are rare light yellow, and its long jet-black hair spreads out behind its back like a peacock opening a screen; So it looks bigger than the rest of the heads.

The body in the third shrine is the exact opposite of the former, with a thin body and almost no skeleton remaining. The arm bones, ribs, and leg bones in the corpse are all faintly visible. But the head is an ordinary young man's appearance, not as old as he imagined.

The body in the fifth shrine is a woman, with a white and plump body, and a shallow lotus flower embroidered on her lower abdomen; Its head face is between square and round, and its demeanor is resolute, but its lips are bright red.

The body in the eighth niche is slightly inferior in size to the corpse in the first shrine; But the impact of the shape of the muscles and muscles is no less than that of the first corpse - it even gives people a feeling that its size and physique are actually stronger than the first corpse!

The "giant shrine" with a radius of ten zhang accommodates the corpses of ordinary people, but it does not teach people to feel that the size is different.

On the contrary, the image of "full of emergence, majestic and unique" after a glance makes people inexplicably feel that even if the niche is more than ten times larger, it is also deserved!

Xu Zhenyun forcibly calmed his mind and carefully looked at the appearance of the four corpses.

Because as long as the gaze touches any of the corpses, the extremely full discomfort is no less than the moment when Ji Zicheng was beheaded just now.

Mu Xueqing and Xiang Tianwen were a few breaths slower than Xu Zhenyun and reacted, looking up; But he barely watched it for a while, and then lowered his head again.

After carving the images of the four people in his heart, Xu Zhenyun set off a stormy wave in his heart.

There is no accident - these four people must be peerless powerhouses above the first grade.

Such a character will also suffer the fate of being beheaded by the "Zhenguo Artifact" of the major immortal dynasties?

Ten years of unification.

Ten years later, the losers, so those thunderous names that have been heard recently, there will be people among them, repeating the mistakes of these four people?
