Chapter 840: Life and Death of the Eight Gates
It was originally a simple exploration of the Demon Palace under pressure, but now it has become a major decision. Who said those words, and what was the purpose of this person?
Chen Xi glanced back and found that the door had disappeared when everyone came in. There is still weirdness everywhere in this demon palace, and the voice of the person who spoke is old, obviously not the emotion of the Moqiong Emperor. Xu Ji once said that although he couldn't kill that emotion, he could hit it hard, and it would be difficult for that emotion to appear again in a short period of time. And although the situation was a little urgent, there seemed to be no overt hostility in the old voice that spoke.
But this man's words have been made very clear, once the choice is made, then everyone may be trapped in that door and never get out again. Chen Xi couldn't help but think of the time when he was in the Tianfu Continent's Mantian Sect, he climbed the Fortune Transformation Tower for the first time and entered an illusory world with Liu Xichen. In that world, he and Liu Xichen spent a dull but extremely precious life.
Now, it's time to face this situation again, and everyone sees something different in the door.
The Black Ape King saw his homeland, his subjects, and the years they had lived together. Qinglong saw the Kunlun Mountain of the Tianfu Continent, saw Her Highness the Human Woman, and saw the Heavenly Court Lake and those strange divine beasts.
"These doors can see through your hearts. ”
The old voice appeared again: "Everyone has their own regrets, hesitations and fantasies in their hearts. Everyone will face a variety of choices in their lives, and it is like a fork in the road, either left or right. You're all going to make a choice, and you're going to either go left or right. Then in your hearts, there will be a hidden voice that always inadvertently questions your original path, did you choose the right path?"
"If you go to the left, what will happen if you go to the right?"
Chen Xi said: "But that's our own business, what does it have to do with you?"
The old voice replied, "Of course it has nothing to do with me, but you have entered this place, and here I have the final say, so everything about you has become related to me." You can see that I'm too bored, so please make a little game. ”
Chen Xi shook his head: "The game, there will be winners and losers, but as long as we walk through any door, we will lose." ”
The old voice continued: "You are wrong, no matter which door you enter, you will have a chance, a big, big opportunity, and this is the reward you can get. However, the price you have to pay is that there will be countless choices inside this door, and if you choose the wrong one, you will be trapped in the door forever and will not be able to get out. However, it seems to me that you are now facing an extremely embarrassing situation, and it seems that it is not bad to be trapped in another world, at least not because of the destruction of the Mo Dome. ”
"You talk nonsense. ”
Chen Xi said with a serious face: "If you had such great ability, you would have already left this Demon Palace. You say that your world will not be destroyed by the destruction of the Strange Dome, and this is not convincing. As long as you are in the Strange Firmament, you will not be able to get out of the Strange Firmament. ”
The voice said, "How do you know that I have no way to leave the Demon Palace, not that I am unwilling to leave the Demon Palace?"
Chen Xi was silent for a while and then said, "If you are unwilling to leave the Demon Palace, then there is only one possibility that you are the Demon Ancestor!"
The old man's voice disappeared, and it took at least half an hour before the voice reappeared: "Yes, I am the Demon Ancestor, this is my home, and this is my attachment, so why did I leave the Demon Palace?"
Chen Xi sneered: "We once encountered a touch of immortality from the Moqiong Emperor, which can also be said to be a kind of resentment. What about you? What are you from the Demon Ancestor? Are you staying in this Demon Palace, is it the remnant soul of the Demon Ancestor, or is it just an emotion that can't be dissipated like that Moqiong Emperor?"
The Demon Ancestor sighed, "You may never understand me, and I won't say anything to try to make you understand. As long as you can't leave the Demon Palace, no one can help you, you can only rely on yourself. If you don't want to make a choice now, then I'll help you make a choice. But if I casually stuff you into a door, are you sure you're going to meet with anything good?"
"What is your purpose!"
Chen Xi asked loudly, "Why are you doing this?"
Demon Ancestor replied: "There is no reason, and even if there is a reason, I am not obligated to tell you. You are just playthings in my hands, even the kid who is still in retreat, and he can't help you. You must now face a choice, and if you don't agree, then I will have to do what I want. This is my game, and you are just an ingredient in my game. ”
Qinglong raised his head and said proudly, "Then you can kill us." ”
"No!"
The voice suddenly turned cold: "Of course I won't kill you, I will kill her." ”
A sword suddenly appeared in Suzaku's heart, not even a millimeter away from Suzaku, the tip of the sword was almost attached to Suzaku's body, as long as he casually stabbed forward, he could pierce Suzaku's heart.
"Stop!"
Qinglong immediately shouted, and his face changed.
There was a bit of banter in the Demon Ancestor's voice: "You can't resist, only obedience, I said, this is an interesting game, as long as you go in, you will all like it." ”
Chen Xi was silent for a while and then nodded: "Let's go, don't separate." ”
Demon Ancestor said: "No, no, no, you can't enter the same door at the same time, you have to go separately, and everyone chooses a door." There are eight doors here, there are five of you, you choose, and you discuss which door you want to enter. But one thing I must make clear: seven of these eight doors are temporarily safe, and one door is the door of death, and if you enter, you will die. ”
After the Demon Ancestor finished saying these words, everyone fell silent.
Chen Xi looked at everyone, and then said to them, "You choose first." ”
Qinglong looked at Chen Xi: "At this time, in fact, it is beneficial to choose first. The first person to choose has a 1 in 8 probability of choosing the door of death, the second person is 1 in 7, and so on, if all the people in front are lucky to enter, then the probability that the last person will face is 1 in 4. ”
Chen Xi said: "Teng'er and Suzaku choose first." ”
Qinglong nodded: "Okay." ”
Teng'er looked at Chen Xi: "No, I want to stay with you." ”
The voice of the Demon Ancestor reappeared: "I don't have time to waste with you, from now on, one person will enter in one minute, if it is slow, I will kill one person." Until then, I can give you a chance to join forces to resist my attack once, and if the five of you join forces to block one of my attacks, then I'll let you out. ”
Before the words fell, a faint figure appeared behind everyone. It looks like this is the figure of an old man, and his posture is a little rickety. He seemed to be wearing a large robe, and his hands were empty in the sleeves of his robe.
"Not necessarily!"
Chen Xi suddenly said: "You don't have to make a move, we just choose." ”
The old man seemed to be slightly surprised, and then smiled: "This is naturally the best, you are indeed very smart, if you make a move, you will definitely go all out, so your energy and cultivation will be consumed." But you still don't have a chance of winning, so it is better to keep your strength inside the door and face the situation inside. ”
Fuji'er looked at Suzaku: "You choose first." ”
Suzaku shook his head: "No, you first." ”
Teng'er frowned: "What, now do you think I don't have enough weight to speak?"
Suzaku bit her lip, then strode to one of the doors, and when she reached the door, she looked back at Qinglong: "If I am trapped in it, will you miss me?"
Qinglong nodded: "Never forget." ”
With tears in his eyes, Suzaku smiled at Qinglong, then turned his head and walked into the first door. With a flash of golden light, Suzaku's figure disappeared.
Teng'er strode to the second door and looked back at Chen Xi: "I know you won't give up on me, and I won't give up on you." ”
After saying that, I walked through the second door.
Chen Xi looked at the Black Ape King: "Old Hei, it's your turn." ”
The Black Ape King shook his head stubbornly: "No, you all have your own worries when you live, I don't have so many worries, you choose first, and I last." ”
Qinglong looked at Chen Xi, and then suddenly made a move, grabbed the Black Ape King and threw it into the third door. The same golden light flashed, and the Black Ape King also disappeared.
Demon Ancestor smiled and said, "You are all very smart, there is no random choice, but there are five remaining doors, and if you enter one of them, you will definitely die." Now the two of you are faced with a more difficult choice. One, two, and three are not dead doors, so who can be sure that the fourth door is a dead door?"
Qinglong didn't wait for Chen Xi to answer, and strode towards the fourth door: "Chen Xi, if I enter the door of death, take care of Suzaku for me." If you have the opportunity, you will return to the Tianfu Continent, even if you die, you will die in your hometown. ”
Chen Xi nodded: "You go, I can't be sure which door is the door of death." ”
Qinglong hummed, and then stepped into the fourth door.
After the golden light, the green dragon disappeared.
Demon Ancestor couldn't help but laugh: "Now it's your turn, there are still four doors left, and the probability that you choose the door of death is one in four." Of course, this is not a matter of probability, because the first four doors are fine, so it is very likely that the fifth door is fine. ”
Chen Xi also smiled: "It doesn't matter anymore, everyone who goes in is safe." I want you to tell me the truth, if they are all trapped inside and can't get out, are they sure they won't be destroyed because of the destruction of the Mo Dome?"
The demon clan nodded: "What I said is natural, even if the lord of your god domain gets the power of the heart of the Great Emperor of the Mo Dome and then gets a new body, he can't destroy everything in this gate, because this gate is not in the Mo Dome in the first place." Or rather, this is a single world in the Strange Dome, and no one can destroy it. ”
Chen Xi snorted: "That's good, can you say a request now." ”
Demon Ancestor said, "Say it." ”
Chen Xi said: "If I choose the door of death, then can you bring them together? You must know very well what it is like to be alone, so if they are all alive, let them live together." ”
The Demon Ancestor was silent for a moment and then said, "Okay, I promise you. ”
Chen Xi took a deep breath, and then had no choice, and stepped into the fifth door. As he stepped inside, a black light flashed, and a terrible voice appeared inside the door: "Welcome to the door of death." ”
